*As the Holo-recording starts, Apprentice Aeros comes into view in her usual traditional attire. She has the look of satisfaction upon her features as she clears her throat and starts to speak* "It has happend, and this moment has truly brought my faith in the Father of Shadows even further then before, and my loyalty to the one Father. When a contact of mine asked me for an audiance, he spoke to me about a plot by an alien who sought to kill my people. This irked me more then I will state in this Holo-recording as words can not express my desire to see those who seek to destroy our community, to be destroyed. Then my fiancé came to me and told me of the aliens death, at the hands of his own doing. It put a smile on my face. The day before, I made a sacrifice to the Father of Shadows, to Typhojem. I asked him, to stop this plot of killing his children by the alien filth. My prayer was awserd. Now, with this sign, that the Father truly hears me, I shall be more vigilant then before against the heresy against my people, against the traditions of our ancestors. The Pure, the TRUE Sith."
*The Holo recording stops with the last sentence, one may see a smirk on Zhephra's face as it lingers a little longer*

*As the Holo starts, Zhephra would be seen in a long dark black Cloak, slowly lifting her chin up in the lighting. Fresh battle scars, on the left side of her face, as burned tissue could be seen, and across her right eye a sharp downward scar across it. She links her hands into her sleeves and peers forward as she speaks in a rather calm and collected tone*
"The war-effort, has been proceeding well. The Republics refineries are being brought into shambles as we take what is rightfully ours. A New war, is starting, one I have prepared myself for, for quite some time. I can't ofcourse disclose our currently location for security reasons"
*Zhephra briefly could be seen taking a breath as she exhales slowly. She looks back into the Holo device*
"Right now, the Jedi are slowly being slaughterd, their obsession with my people will be the death of them. The Republic sends its troops, its 'finest' men. Yet, they get caught in blaster fire and our Lightsabers. I hope all Republic Troops are this pathetic. Battle plans are being made, and we're on the move. So far everything is going swimingly, though do not put too much faith in these Acolytes, they are bound to do something stupid. The same goes for certain Apprentices who seem to think more with their Lightsaber rather then logic and common sense. An annoyance, but...perhaps they will learn in time."
*Zhephra grunts briefly in irritation on the last subject before resuming her recording*
"Apprentice Black is out of the Medical Bay finally. What ever happend to him, he's not the only one to blame for his little outburst. Though, he has shown his weakness. He became a slave to his emotions, and the Darkside of the Force. To me it shows lack of discipline, and understanding of our relations with the Darkside. Even for Sith...patience is a virtue, using your head more so. Intelligence is severaly lacking these days, disappointing but not entirely surprising. "
*Zhephra would roll a shoulder as she looks over the hills of Plooma from her campsight. She nodded to her self only briefly in self contemplation before looking back*
"Soon my Master will summon me, so far my tasks which ever they are and shan't be mentioned here, are going well. Even if the progress is slowed by the war-effort, the efficiency of which it is happening is adequate. I hope that during this war, some competence can be brought to certain induviduals, but I do not have any high hopes for that. If they haven't learned in the years they have been around, they won't learn now. But I worry little, for their own lack of intelligence and reckless behavior will be the death of them. A loss? Perhaps, but a loss that can be dealt with easily. I will await further instructions."
*Zhephra chuckles for a moment in thought as she once more speaks*
"They say war is won with blood sweat, and tears. Well, it will be won. By our sweat and THEIR blood and tears. We shall see how this ends"

Soti would appear on the Holo, sitting behind a desk as she would quietly rub her left chin-spur in contemplation
So, the task is done, Orsus is ours. The victory was a bloody but a good one. Just the way I like it.
I have learned much during this time, not just regarding my own capabilities but also other people.
Who to watch out for, who to trust, and who not to.
Soti would hum briefly as she would look outside the window from her small room on the Th'Asidra.
Now we return to Kaas soon, and I have much too do. Not just regarding training but the future of my bloodline and my affairs with Production and Logistics. I have placed Valeus in charge of a small operation, regarding Food Processing in one of my facilities. I hope he is up for the task, if he does well, we'll see where we'll go from there.
I am going over my book-keeping, and my options to see what els is to be done. Though I heard interesting whispers regarding other production facilities that I am interested in, weapon factories. I am going to see if I can get my hands on them, further advance my economy, so I may later make greater impact in my field of work for Logistics.
She then turns around again, looking directly into the holo.
Overall, things are going well I suppose, but there is always room for improvement. Though, my thoughts keep lingering on my senses, the feeling of a ploy being developed. I am staying forever vigilant. As my previous Matriarch, my beloved mother has taught me....Trust, no one.
The Holo feed would cut off.

Accessing Record....
Soti appears on the Holo. She is sat behind a Desk, with a couple of Binders and Datapads, hold a pencil in her hand
I have been very appreciative of the current economic growth within my Powerbase. So far we have two facilities producing items for both the Empire and the Horuset Powerbase that is distributed between Kalkoran and Horuset. Monthly figures are showing a rise in requests for Medical Supplies and Ammo. Which is of course not unsurprising given we're at war.
The projections are showing that we have to increase production at GarrenTech up to 25 % to reach the mandatory requirements. This can cause strain, as it is a young company. But I am confident that the workers will be properly motivated and the Factory continues to move out products.
We have increased the production specifically on Ammo and heavy Ordinances, which in itself is a challenge with the Resource crisis at hand. I am current in conversation with some of the neutral mining companies to perhaps negotiate a deal so we can meet the current demands from the Imperial Military.
Soti would flick a page on the Binder and then close it as she grabs another, opening it on another page
The Agricultural facility is having problems with creating enough food, the food that is transformed into the standard Imperial Rations. Finding a balance in the current soil seems to be a difficult task, so we have resulted into more Synthetic options for putting enough protein and vitamins into these cubes. The taste will be lesser but it should proof sufficient.
We currently can hold enough farm land but with the recent increase demands coming from the Citadel its become clear that we need to expand sooner or later. But this of course requires sample testing of the Soil of potential Farm sites. I will have to consult with the Bureau on this matter to potentially aid in this.
So far everything is going decent, but I am expecting a rough couple of months ahead as we are getting used to the demands. But I fear not, the workers will be properly motivated by the Overseers of the facilities. That is a certainty.
That would be all for now for this log. Signing off.

Soti would appear on the Holo, infront of her on a small desk, scrolls and an open Tome of Sorcery. She begins to speak:
"I have been going over the old texts more frequently to find new Rituals and spells to dive deeper into the Arcane Arts. So far its been a hassle just to get a coherent overview, most of the ancient texts do not give much other then descriptions of prior encounters. But, I have made some progress."
Soti would flip a page in her Tome and hums briefly before continuing.
"I have been working towards improving the Projection of Emotions. I have begun experimenting to make it far more potent then it can be. Theoretically if you use Soti Asarsi in combination with the Projection for example: fear, you could potentially increase its potency by ten fold. It doesn't just become a warning, it becomes a tool that can potentially shatter someone's defenses by overwhelming them through the Darkside of the Force. So far, my attempts have been successful and I am trying to see if I can push it further. I know to use the nexus and the amulet as a sort of amplifier of the Spell."
Soti would flip another page before grabbing a scroll from the table, speaking:
"I am still trying to figure out how to conjure a whisp to, disperse any lingering power surges. I have seen Runil do it, and I am trying to find more in the old texts to get a better perspective on how this is done. I know how to solve the power issue internally, yes the first time I did it I nearly ruptured my own insides but it worked. But having a secondary method is always welcome. I am also looking into transferring Darkside energy into an object to create a minor Nexus of Darkside energy, sort of as a artifact for meditation on planets which do not have any of such. But that is another matter entirely. I know that by using the Darkside of the Force and committing an act of sacrifice can create a lingering Darkside residual energy field, as I have done before in a Jedi Shrine. But I am looking for something bigger...I guess we'll see in the future"
Soti inhales slowly, looking annoyed:
"Valeus and others keep pestering me to teach them Sorcery. But after everything that has happend does he truly believe that I will share my power? No, sharing power is signing your own death. If he hadn't betrayed me the way he did, I might have considered it, as a token for his loyalty. But now, after this farce I know better. I will not let anyone get an advantage over me in the Force, the Arcane. If he wants to learn, he needs to do it through hard work, study of ancient text, find the pieces in our history. Yes, it is the Power of the Pure, but handing it over on a silver platter is not the way of the Sith either."
Soti would stop there, and the Holo Record stops.

Soti would appear on the Holo, and begins speaking.
"I have begun with the creation of wisps again after consulting with those successful at the creation of it, which has given me some insight on what went wrong and what went right.
In my initial experiments I was being too forceful which resulted into the wisps imploding on itself and giving me the brunt of the force of it, resulting into electrical burns and blacked robes.The pain although not death threatening, was still very unpleasant"
Soti would open her Tome with notes in it. She continue:
"What I did wrong was simple really, I was being too forceful, I didn't let the energy form from a centered point of view but rather a forceful desire, so in essence it was a mentality problem rather then Arcane related. I have now made sure not to make that same mistake again and what do you know? It was succesful."
Soti would nod slowly as she flips a page:
"I have also begun working on a theory regarding the Rite of Scrying. I have begun looking into potential focuses, such as Force Imbued crystals as a tool. However I do believe it is prudent to also have a chain linked to the crystal but not just any type of chain, it needs to be specific, something conductive. Something that is prepared for channeling from one point to the other. I haven't yet come up with a proper solution for this but I am confident I will.
I will continue my work in the Arcane, sometimes it takes a life time of studies but I am willing to do so. Dedication and discipline is the key to such Power, the Power of my people. ...But that will be all for now. Signing off..."
The holo would cut out...
