Gallahan Talakin, The Betrayer

[Joslae]

The recording would start with a blue hum, its light bringing an azure glow to the room, within a second a man clad in grey armour would step into the frame, his mask a face of no emotion with a crown on its head, the armour itself adored with marks of war, each with a story to tell. The figure would walk into the room and raise his hand, the two slaves that were clear to see in the background screaming as they would clutch their throats, falling to the ground with their necks snapped in an unnatural direction. As the grey figure, would slowly turn to the holo device it would speak with a snarl that would emit angry, hate and rage. “Everything. Is ruined, months of planning to kill and claim that fake emperor’s riches and forces stunted by some imperial force that tracked us. I already have my apprentices tracking the pile of bantha shit that failed his basic training in being a traitor.” The man would slam his fist down into the table as he would look to the holo device once more  “But what kind of man would I be to give up now. No far from it.” As he spoke his helmet would begin to unfold, the emotionless mask that hid his face spilling like a triangle and to the sides, the crown folding back. And as it would open the viewer would be able to see a face with a jawline as sharp as razor, his eyes filled with passion and emotion but in this moment as dead as his former leader. “If anything, this has already awarded me the standard of leading this horrible excuse for an empire, the leaders of each sector looking to me to lead them into this war, for me to make sure they can win.” He would begin to laugh.He would begin to laugh.  “It would seem it is only myself, Res and Vik who truly understand what we face.” He would stand up straight now. His hands clasping behind his back as he would look to the holo. “For when you watch this my future son understand this. This war was lost the second the Empire. The real empire left Hyperspace and fired the first blaster round, I will not fall for a dead so called emperor, no I will reap every reward of this disgusting excuse for an empire and use up every single one of its resources before giving it all away for my future, this is the path of the sith my son. I.. No. We will survive.” He would wave his hand and the holo would end.
