Redemption

Fourteen - Meeting a Familiar Face

Directly after Anakin's "trials," he was sent back to the room he was in before for questioning.

As he reached the torture chair, a Stormtrooper locked him up in it once more.

The Stormtrooper stood back, the face of the helmet facing Anakin.

"Do you accept the position you had before again?"

Anakin clenched his jaw and forced a fake smile. "I do."

"Are you willing to abandon those that you cared for in the past and take on the force of the dark side again?"

"I am."

"Do you agree to follow all of the guidelines and terms of your position of Sith lord Darth Vader?"

"I do."

"You are further accepted into the administration of Death Star once again. You may remain in the interrogation seat for further questioning."

"Yes, sir," Anakin said slowly, feigning another sly grin. His plan was working to get Sidious to trust him again so that he would have the ability to disable everything accessible on the Death Star and win a duel against him, so that during the duel, Sidious would have nothing to rely on. Not even the Stormtroopers.

The buzzer went off again, and this time, the intercom came on.

"My lord, someone has requested to enter interrogation room 196," a Stormtrooper's voice said through the comm.

"Who is it?"

"I'm not sure. A cloaked figure by the name of Vyskell Vyann."

"Ah. Send them in!" Sidious cried excitedly.

As the door slid open, Anakin craned his neck to see who this "Vyskell Vyann" person was and what they wanted.

A figure stepped in, cloaked in dark fabric, their face hidden.

"Vyskell," Sidious purred, "how lovely to see you. It's a pleasure." He took a bow as the figure dropped her cloak, revealing a petite body clothed in a slim-fitted black dress, the bust area showy and a long cut down the side of it, exposing her right leg from the middle of the thigh down. She was thin, and her lips were coated in thick, black lipstick, her eyes lined with black liner. Her chestnut brown hair was slicked back and long, reaching the space just above her hips. He was pretty positive he didn't know her, but something to Anakin about her was familiar. Maybe those cocoa brown eyes...

"Vader," Sidious told him with a smile, "this is your coordinator and lead assistant. She will be helping you execute the important tasks along your journey back to the dark side..."
