I love those in game messages we get and I use a lot of them for reference and to enhance the story dialogue.

Excerpt from “I do it for you.”

Borias,

I really wish that I could come back, but I have too much that needs to be done. I would love to take that vacation that I always talked about, go somewhere far away from all this war and death. Just the two of us. It's a great fantasy, but the reality is much harder to swallow.

It feels like iv'e fought for peace all of my life, but for as long as I can remember, no matter what, nothing has turned out as I planned. Everyone always lets me down in the end. The Jedi, the Republic, my parents, even the Alliance. This endless war for power....it needs to stop. I'm so tired of fighting, and Iv'e finally found a way to stop it. Please know that everything iv'e done has been for the good of us all.

I don't expect you to understand. In fact, i'm sure this will really upset you. But I really need you to know, no matter how this all turns out, I LOVE YOU. I always have, and always will, Ever since the moment I first saw you on that halo in Manaan. You stole my heart and I will never forget you.

Always, forever

Theron

Theron sat on his bed on the shuttle. He put the data-pad down.

Tears rolled down his brown cheeks. He had finally lost it. He was glad that Borias couldn't see him cry.

He had to hold himself together, he thought. This mission has to be completed and I need to stay strong.

Borias had his emotions all mixed up. It had been that way right from the start.

His stomach was tied in knots, he had trouble sleeping, and he couldn't stop thinking about Borias.

He was never good with relationships, but Borias had changed him and his way of looking at things. He had always been an optimist and a fool in matters of love.

He sighed. He really did love Borias. The Sith Lord had left a serious mark on him and changed his life. But now, he needed to concentrate on the task at hand.

He needed to focus, and the Commander of the Alliance, the Sith Lord and former Emperor's wrath was a big distraction for him.

He couldn't know what I was about to do, he thought. He would have tried to talk me out of it, for sure.

This was like his old S.I.S. days when he had to lie and deceive people constantly. Keeping secrets, hiding from everyone, even those he cared about. But it had to be done, the Alliance needed to die.

His data pad rang. He reached for it to answer the message.

It read:

Agent Shan,

We have discussed it in detail, and we have decided that it would be beneficial for you to join us. We weren't sure, given your current affinity with the Alliance, but with everything that has conspired thus far, we figured that having you work with us would fix your current chaotic situation within your ranks. We hope to speak with you further as soon as you are able. Welcome to the fold.

Grand Master Treveyr, Order of the six

He let out a hard sigh, then flicked the switch on the console of the flight panel.

Moments later , a bone masked figure appeared on the holo-communicator.

“ I held up my end of the bargain..” Theron said firmly, looking at the bone, masked figure in front of him. “now it’s your turn .”

The hooded figure on the halo glared at him under his bone mask.

“Trust in us agent Shan. all will be well. the order of Zildrog will prevail.”

It better, Theron thought, as he cut off the transmission with the priest of Zildrog.

Theron stared out into space. it better work. too much is at stake. it’s killing me that I had to lie to everyone and betray their trust, but I didn’t see any other way. he let out another heavy sigh.

I really wish that there was a way I could have done this better, he thought. damn it! he pounded his fist on the console of the shuttle. he covered his face with the other hand. at least I got to say goodbye to Borias. Sadly, we couldn’t speak on Copero, but I had to keep up appearances for all this to work out. I don’t know how long this will take, and I am not sure if I’ll be successful. Vlass was a big help. I hope he’s okay...

he grumbled. I’m not sure how long I can do this though. Borias must think the worst after Copero. He sobbed softly, tears slipping down his tanned cheeks. his hands shook, his breath coming short bursts. this just makes it harder, he thought. if Borias had killed me on Umbara, or stayed angry with me, I might have an easier time doing what I need to do, but I know he forgives me. I saw it in his eyes when I left Copero. He knows the truth.
