Lie Down in Sorrow

"Get up."

Ember wore no armour; neither did the prisoner. A vial of doped poison antidode rested in Ember's paw of a right hand. The bars closed and locked behind him, sealing him in with the well-searched Aedan Miles.

"Up. Come on. We've got things to discuss today."

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan sighed and sat up stretching as he looked at Rekali. "What kind of things?" Aedan's violet eyes gazed around calmly before he leaned back against the wall near what passed as his bed. His violet hair hung down slightly past his eyes unkempt he hadn't bothered to retie the ponytail he usually wore so his hair just hung about his head.

"I said get up."

Ember hit him, or gave it his best shot, a whipcrack right hook that threatened to rock the kid's head against the permacrete wall. He knew how to pull a punch, how to target a couple inches behind the surface but not commit farther; if Aedan dodged, Ember's knuckles might kiss the permacrete, but not hard.

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan didn't even bother to try and dodge he probably deserved this the punch caught him on the jaw and sent him rocking into the permacrete wall and then to the ground where he spit out some blood and stood up ignoring the slight amount that dripped from his jaw. "All right all right I am up." There wasn't anger in the young man's eyes he was tired of that for now it hurt to be angry so often no wonder the Sith were always in a bad mood.

"Good. I didn't want to have to do that again."

Ember's other hand rose, palm up, a vial resting at the base of his thumb.

"This is medicine that'll change your life. I'm not going to hit you based on whether you drink it or not, but I'd recommend doing it."

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan looked at the vial and then sighed a bit reaching out he took it he didn't care anymore. Opening the small vial he quickly drank whatever was in it looking back at Ember he held the vial up looking at the light through it before he silently whispered. "That was Mia who caught me wasn't it."

Tension drained from his shoulders, but emotion didn't touch his face. His words came out oddly precise for him.

"What you just drank is called Equivox. It's a pharmaceutical designed to counteract Devaronian blood poison, a popular torture implement. It binds to blood-borne Devaronian poison and neutralizes it...unless it senses the Dark Side of the Force in a very small radius. Meaning you.

"You'll be feeling nothing right now. But from now on, every time you use the Dark Side, you will experience crippling, possibly lethal pain.

"I told you it would change your life."

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan blinks a few times before he looks directly at Ember and sighs shaking his head and muttering lightly. "Well there goes me trying to learn Force Lightning I suppose. I take it there is a reason behind this?" He looked at the vial and then back at Ember his eyes taking on a more stubborn look. "Ember that was Monroe wasn't it. I could sense her presence in the force."

"Don't be a selfish punk," Ember snapped. "These are the consequences of treason, and they're the most merciful you'll ever get from a Mandalorian. And I don't care what you felt, or thought you felt, offworld. I have no idea if that was Mia Monroe reincarnate or not, and it's none of my business. Nor yours." He levelled one finger at Aedan's face. "This was your one chance. Try to cheat your way past this lesson, fight against us again, and next time, I'll snap your neck. Look at my face. Tell me I don't mean what I say."

He stepped back, put a code into the pad and nodded to the camera. The cell door opened.

"Get your armour and get out of Mando territory, dar'manda. One chance."

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan calmly looked at the man and then tossed him the vial walking past him as he muttered. "Fair enough." On his way out he stopped to grab his gear sighing as he pulled on his armor looking at the symbol on it he decided that would have to change. Making his way out of the compound he activated his comlink contacting a ride. Shortly after the call was made a small ship was descending towards his position with a Clan Akaata IFF Code they had disappeared shortly after the start of the invasion of Empress Teta and now they were retrieving the head of their clan. Climbing onto the ship Aedan sighed and muttered to the pilot. "Just get us away from this planet for now and Manda territory."
