A Stormtroopers letters.

Message #1 - Situation

This is the message Kaia sent that reveals the truth and that her grandfather found in the anti-predator terminals performance report. This reveals what has really been going on and what that letter had hidden. Think of this as an untraceable letter 12. Oh and we're slowly nearing the end of ASL so thank you for sticking with me this long.

Message #1 - Situation

Hey Grandpa,
If you're reading this that means you managed to read between the lines of my last letter and cracked the code on this one. I'm so glad you did! I need your help or even any advice you can give me. It seems I've poked my head in too far and now I know what I'm not supposed to know. I sent this message using a public terminal and added coding in so they shouldn't be able to trace it, but just in case anyone comes by the family ranch - you do not know anything and the only message I sent is the one Mum and Dad sent over to your datapad. I do not want to endanger you, but in this position I can't do this alone.

Here's what happened: That night Arcan and I broke into imperial security center to check the security feed and the records. We sliced into the main terminal and using this weird sixths sense and Arcan as the lookouts I sliced the system. I found them, grandpa. I found the files. I looked over them and they confirmed what I needed to know - the juveniles and any other protesters were executed and then the execution was made to look like an accident to appease the masses. I felt sick, it was like one side of me couldn't accept the truth while another knew it was true and that I should have expected it. I don't know what drove me, but I also cracked open the file labelled "The Force and the Jedi". I'd heard whispers, rumours about the this "Force", but nothing concrete so when I found the file I had to find out what it was. A stupid idea in hindsight, but I felt something within me pushing me to discover what it was and so I opened the file. What I found seemed almost like a myth to me, could such a power truly exist? The Jedi were the ones who could use it and apparently Lord Vader and in his inquisitors can too. It also describes the way the Force feels and the strangest thing is I can feel it if I concentrate, but it's said that while it is possible for a child with no Force-sensitive relatives to be born with the Force it's more common for ones who have Force-sensitive relatives to be connected to the Force. I don't understand this. Then there was a mention of a weapon called a lightsaber- again a weapon I've only seen Lord Vader and the inquisitor carry, but when I scanned the text about the forms I recognised them. Grandpa, you taught me them. But how? You told me you were just a soldier that had chosen to join the Clone Wars, but it's obviously more than that. Grandpa, just who are you? For that matter who am I?

Anyhow, that file must have raised a red flag somewhere because an alarm went off. Arcan and I quickly deleted all mentions of our presence and got out of there to the dorms. We got caught while entering our wings along with another couple who were a little too into each other if you catch my meaning. In any case, we were told that a break in had happened in the security center am that we were to be detained for questioning. That's what I meant by a confined room and Arcan keeping me company in my previous message. Arcan lied to the people questioning us and told them that I was having another disease spike and I needed help and had messaged him as my XO. They ran a blood test and the story miraculously checked out - yes, I did have a minor inflammation before we broke in, don't worry about it. Anyway, Arcan and I were released in the morning with orders for me to call the medical droid instead of my XO if this ever happened again - I agreed. As per doctor's orders I was resting up and decided to take a walk around the city where I met Arcan, we talked about what I had found (I made sure no one was listening in) and he was the one who suggested that I should contact you in this way. I later spoke to Lars to see if it was possible he told me it was possible in theory and gave me the rundown. I decided to try and if it worked you're reading this message.

Since the break in the military has been on full alert and we're all being watched. I have a feeling that this supposed medical check up I'm supposed to go to is just a cover up for one of the inquisitors to interrogate me. I don't think I can resist their mind tricks for long. Grandpa, what do I do? I know now that believing blindly just in the good of the Empire is wrong and while I do believe that this is a good structure for the Galaxy it's handled in the wrong way. The laws are wrong, the things we have done are wrong, but in don't believe that what this Rebel Alliance is doing is right either - terrorism is never the answer. I've changed Grandpa and I can acknowledge the mistakes I've made now. However, I don't know what to do. In all honesty, I'm in a decent position to find out more information as a Lieutenant and leader of the IITE, but I've raised far too many red flags as it is. Arcan and I talked this over with Theran and he offered to tells us how to contact the Alliance. I refused and just asked him to give me an abandoned warehouse name that they had few supplies in so I could report it to the superiors. There's one thing I know for certain - I want nothing to do with the Rebel Alliance, they're no better than us.

Grandpa, what should I do? Who am I? Who are you? Tell me the truth, I beg you.

Thank you for helping me thus far,
Kaia Jarrde
