Kikks returns to the landing pad to meet the group. Kaylee runs and hugs him.
"I'm sorry I scarred you. Where is Williams?" Kikks asked
Kaylee has a sorrowed look on her face.
"He passed away from his injuries a day after you left." Kaylee says
Thaddeus stands on the landing pad with two other Jedi waiting to see the group off. With them are two objects covered in sheets.
"Find what you were looking for?" Thaddeus asked shaking Kikks' hand
"Without a doubt." Kikks responds
"Before you go, Revan left a number of things here on Tython. We've had these two for years." Thaddeus says
The Jedi pull the sheets off the objects to reveal two droids.
"This is HK-47, an assassin protocol droid who has served your family for generations. He's been updated to current specs, and knows all current forms of communication. The other droid is a black and grey R2 unit. Inside the dome though is all the memories and data of T3-M4, your families loyal astromech. They are yours." Thaddeus says
"Thank you." Kikks says
"Thank you for your hospitality." Mal says
"Alright rebels, lets go!" Wash says over the intercom
The boarding ramp closes as Serenity blasts into hyperspace. The group stands around the two droids, waiting on Kikks to reactivate them.
"Okay, they might be a little confused so go easy on them." Kikks says
Kikks presses the activation button on both droids quickly stepping back. The two droids begin to blink rapidly. HK's orange eyes blink on.
"Statement: System activated. Cognitive functions activated. Auditory functions activated. Memory system functioning. Assassination protocols active. Hello master." HK says
"Observation: You are not Revan!" HK says activating a gun on his arm pointing it at Kikks and company
"WOAH, calm down! What's the last thing you remember?" Kikks asked
"Statement: I remember being on Tython, with Revan and T3-M4." HK says pointing at T3, whose still trying to reboot
"Both of you have been deactivated for years. You were given to me by a friend." Kikks said
"Query: Who are you?" HK asked deactivating the wrist blaster
"I'm Kikks Renndar Shan. Revan's only descendant." Kikks says
HK stares at Kikks for a few moments.
"Prove it." HK says
Kikks holds up his family crest pendant.
"Statement: MASTER!" HK says walking forward
Just then T3 springs to life.
"Statement: Not to worry master. I will update our astromech friend." HK says
The group turns and stares down Kikks.
"You're part of the Shan bloodline?" Mal asked
"Yep." Kikks says
"How come you never told us." Zoe asked
"I was afraid if I told any of you, you'd treat me like a monster." Kikks says ashamed
Kaylee sits down next to Kikks.
"You're not Revan. You've proved that time and time again. You are your own person." Kaylee says
"Statement: Good news master. T3 and I have decided to join your adventure and not exterminate you and your meatbag compatriots." HK says
The group stares in awkward silence.
"I can't tell if he's joking or not." Mal says
"Neither can I." Chief says
Wash's voice comes over the intercom.
"We're back at Florrum. Preparing to break orbit." Wash says
