"You look even worse," Relle says to Rianna. "What the hell happened to you two?"

"Thank you for that terribly keen observation, Azarl," Rianna replies, tiredly.

"What happened? A lot of things. Deadly jungle, hostile natives, Jedi nonsense...Galder losing his blasted mind..."

"Well Galder losing his mind more so than normal," Xavier adds to Rianna's comment. "Although this time he may have literally lost his mind."

"[I don't follow your meaning]," Azarl says. "[Has he gone crazy? Where is he?]"

"He's always been crazy but now he may also have a formerly imprisoned Sith's mind controlling him as well now," Xavier pauses. "As to your last question don't know. But we and anyone else who can join him are tasked with hunting him down."

"He was possessed by an ancient Sith and took off."

Rianna's a bit more blunt and to the point 😛

That's Rianna's best quality right 😛

"Count me in, whatever you guys did looks like it was a lot of fun"

"Good we'll send you in first."

"Sounds great...so where are we going?"

"We're going to...Rianna tell him where we are going to!"

😄

"We don't have a clue where that idiot took off to. But he has Dak's ship," Rianna says. "Xavier's far too cheerful about this mess."

"Because I know we're going to fix it"

"Good, good, that narrows it down to the whole galaxy, we're making progress. What are the ideas? Where would an ancient sith lord want to go? Or maybe we could track the ship, I remember Dak definitely wanted to install a beacon, in case we or the bureau needed to find him."

An important distinction to make here for those coming aboard the old Psycho Brigade's mission- and maybe a refresher for the Psychos themselves. Rather than the stuff of legends, the warrior Rallo was an unimportant no-name trained in the Dark Side. Whether he simply lacked the talent or the Jedi cut his career short, he never became a full-fledged Sith Lord.

Regardless, Xavier and Rianna can fill in their audience that Rallo and a legion of Sith shocktroopers assaulted the jungle world of Vorkuda in ancient times, to wipe out a small Republic outpost in a contested region of space during the last Sith Wars. Said outpost held one of the Jedi Order's remote meditative temples, staffed by a quartet of powerful Jedi Masters. Impressively, the Masters held off Rallo's forces and defeated the Dark Jedi. They then utilized him in a virtual reality experiment attempting to convert him to the Light Side of the Force. Ultimately, they deemed this experiment a failure and left Rallo's mind trapped in the virtual reality device- a sort of mental prison.

Long story made short- the actions of the Psycho Brigade accidentally released him, while trying to hunt and kill Sael, a wannabe Dark Jedi who Rand deemed too weak to join your bunch.

Rallo's body having long-since decayed to dust, he currently co-inhabits Galder's mind.

Con raises an important point nonetheless. Where would Rallo go? Much has changed in the Galaxy since the Sith Wars.

He also hits upon something Xavier had thought of as well. You have Dak's transponder codes, but lack the means of tracking the Black Dawn across the Galaxy... whereas a certain organization hell-bent on your destruction possesses those sorts of resources in the form of a Galaxy-spanning network of satellites and sensors.

Who wants to go hack the Bureau network system!!!!!

Do we know anything else about Rallo? What species he is? Where he lived in his time? If he had any bases? Where the Sith were stationed at the time?

Good questions. He looks human for the other questions Xavier shrugs as his response.

"So how did Galdallo escape you guys? Makes me really think Rand was right when he tried to convince us to murder you in your sleep."

"I don't know perhaps Rianna should be the one asking. I was in the middle of fighting a war."
