After my testimony, I was still waiting for Tommy's response, when suddenly there were several transmissions waiting for a response. The first was Equinox; a female voice. I was actually waiting for Tommy to message me because I was used to not having my data used much. True... before, it was always Asher who did the operations alone. But now he was gone and Tommy had help. Green lightning? I haven't seen anything like that and the droids haven't recorded anything like that. But lightning and green... Freedom's memories were still there, even though he was no longer present in my mind.
<< Equinox, this is Mercy. Of course I will keep you in the loop if I have something to report. I've only seen fighters before, but they were ours. I didn't see the green lightning, but I know it's some kind of Light Side Force skill. So, your opponents have a Jedi, over. >> I sent the message to her.
The next was an AI. I thought this was quite ironic, especially as for once it wasn't MANIAC's voice I was hearing, but someone else's. Unfortunately, however, I could not give an answer that would please the AI. I had no sensors that could detect the disturbances in the Force. And beyond the number of Force users fighting there, it would probably have been impossible to contain it.
<< Scylla, this is Mercy. Unfortunately, I can't do it, because it's not going to be some kind of weather control machine, or even a terraforming device, but some kind of Force user. And the temple is full of Jedi and our people. But the best possibility is probably the middle of the storm that may be under the building of whoever is causing, over. >> I sent the message.
And that's when the message I was waiting for finally arrived. Actually, I'm not even sure I was expecting it, because it could easily have been that Thomas wasn't going to reply now, but later. Or he'll take care of it with a few words, but no. I laughed bitterly into the commode.
<< I am not afraid of your brother... nor of death. Asher didn't send you home because he had a dream that he thought came from the Avatars. That's why we were there on Durace for you... But before his death, he wouldn't have used you the way he did before. By that time, we'd… I'd almost managed to tear them away, to rip off the chains that bound him to the Maw. >> I told him.
Meanwhile, I raised my eyes to the monitors again and looked around from my seat. Because of my seated position, I could not see much of what was happening elsewhere because of the "barrier" of the roof, only the rain, which continued to fall incessantly.
<< Do you know why you succeeded him and not me? Although I deserved the Warlord title better than you? He wanted to protect me, he wanted me to leave the Maw and the Tribe after his death... he wanted me to be free, away from it all. He wanted to die to free me… free me from him because he wasn't able to leave behind the Maw's and the Avatars' chains. >>
The rest was history, it was Asher's death that chained me to the Maw, where I almost died because of Tu'teggacha, only the twins' intervention prevented my death. And I almost lost the children.
<< After his death, your father came to see us... I mean Asher, to apologise and talk. Asher forgave him... I can't. And I couldn't kill him again. As for your brother... let him come! If he crosses my path... I'll kill him too, not just Solipsis and those who hurt Asher. >> even though Tommy couldn't see it, he could probably hear from my voice that I was snarling.
