LOTF: Collision/Epilogue

Far beyond the eyes of his enemies, Dylan Antiunknown sat on a black throne in a a gray room, lit around the sides by several torches. His face was emotionless, and he was deep in contemplation when he was stirred by sound of his holocommunicator. It activated and revealed Esvald, standing at attention, still in his Nebula Corporation uniform. "The Nebula forces are retreating to the Anoat system as per your orders." Esvald reported.

"Good. Once you've collected everyone and ensured the neural implants will work on the Hutt, have the forces continue on to our next target, as unprepared as possible. I expect they will make excellent test subjects."

"Your will shall not be ignored." Esvald replied affirmatively, and ended the transmission. Just then, a black-armored sentinel approached Dylan, wielding a double-bladed, long cortosis sword. He knelt before Dylan, the fire glistening off his long visor.

"Speak." Dylan told him.

"My lord. Cyana Bastra has just arrived from Anarto II and seeks an audience." The man's voice stated from under the mask.

"At last." Dylan said, pleased. "Send her in."

"Your will shall not be ignored, Lord Paradus." The guard stated compliantly, rising and walking away.

"Indeed, it shall not." Darth Paradus answered, smirking to himself as he sat on the throne, watching the guard walk away.
