"Like I did, Gen'dai?"
Helmut finally reached the pair, but kept his eyes on the hulking brute. His lips did not move, as he let his mind talk for him, his words echoing in their minds like a soft whisper.
"I am a mere acolyte now, most of my connection severed by the passage of time. My body of metal, my brain of flesh and the Force. But I have not changed my lineage, my history, my connection to the Dark Side. And I have given myself willingly over to the Dark Side. It shapes my fate, indeed, all of our fates. For I am a Prophet of the Dark Side, since before the age of Sidious, and the Dark Side foretold the rise of Skywalker and the fall of Sidious despite his best efforts. It foretold the Vong, it foretold Omni, it foretold my meeting you here and it will foretell a future never ending of passion, anger, hate and pain. The Dark Side is not a tool but a tapestry, woven by the fabric of reality, and the Light Side stands ready with scissors to snip the threads to their whims."
Reaching up, Helmut removed his hood, and then carefully hatched open the front of his face to reveal the throbbing, pulsing brain underneath, the Mark of the Sith scarred across the front, seared into the cells of his brain. His inhuman eyes, staring at the pair.
"I follow thee, for you are Sith. We are Sith. And as a Prophet of this tapestry, I must protect what will come. No matter what."
