The Zero Files: Zero Requiem

And away we go

I can see the canyon now...

"Crell." I mutter. Three weequay assassins seem to be waiting for us.

"Where's Nast?" Tyl asks me, his voice trembling.

"Dead." I reply. I can see whats left of his body on the ground near the weequay's ship.

"What now?" Tyl asks.

"Lets steal their ship." If I could smile I would have done so at that moment.

The assassins finally spot us speeding towards them and open fire, sloppy. I return fire with lizzy and manage to fry one of them. Tyl pulls the speeder up to the boarding ramp and jumps out. I leap towards the weequay with martle in hand, I can see the fear in their eyes as martle decapitates them.

I turn back to the ship and help Tyl load the speeder into the ship. As he moves to the cockpit I scan to see if anything is tracking it.

"All clear!" I shout.

"Got it." I hear back.

Satisfied that we're safe for now, I check on Evenlyn.

"Ze-Zero? Where are we? What happened?" She asks, appearing to be confused. "We are on a ship." I candidly reply,

"Well I can see that!" She snaps. Good, back to her old self then.

"Why. Are. We. On. A. Ship!?" She's mad now.

I take a deep theoretical sigh and explain what had happened since she passed out......

Mistress has listened quietly as I finally finish explaining our predicament.

"I see, so whats the plan now?"She asks.

"Well for right now we thought to hide out on Alderaan for a while."

She nods. "Smart move, and is Tyl all right?"

"He is uninjured" I respond.

She smiles. "Help me to the cockpit, I don't trust his piloting skills".

"That makes two of us."

After helping her walk through the ship I sit down at a strange computer terminal. Some quick tinkering causes it to burst into life, and an obscure digitized face appears on the screen.

"Hello." The strange computer says.

"Who are you?" It asks confusedly. "Where is master valloneer?"

"Dead. I killed him not 2 hours ago." I casually reply.

"Oh..." She seems, I don't know... relieved?

"Well then, I geuss you are my new master then." She says.

"I am tactical AI unit N-A-G-2-0, but Valloneer called me Nagato. I am programmed to plan assassinations, kidnappings,coups, and other nefarious activities."

"Nagato, I think you and I will get along very well."

"Hey Zero who are you talking to?" Mistress calls from the cockpit.

"My new best friend." I call back.

"Crazy droid." I hear her say.

Turning back to the computer I ask: "So are you stuck in there forever, or can we make you more mobile?
