The Infinite Destiny made it’s approach and landed in the open bay. It was not particularly remarkable, a typical light freighter with lots of custom modifications once someone looks at it. The ramp lowers down with a hiss exposing the sealed interior to the Hoth atmosphere.

There is silence and thena figure descends wearing a mask that seems intent on sowing terror and malice, a long dark cape and firm boots, equally black. In fact it was all black on black, on black.

When he reached the bottom he said in a deep modulated voice, “So this is the thorn in the White Maw’s side?”

He has arrived.

She already kind of regretted this and was resisting the urge to facepalm again.

"...right?"

She was resisting the urge so much.

"...Did you just... come down instead of buzzing me up so that, you could look dramatic walking down that ramp?"

There is a long pause and then his voice came through his mask, "No."
He absolutely did that.

I just want to make special note of Tethys' continual good understanding of how to play a Paragon Jedi, and how a Paragon Jedi likely views the Force. This is just one of many examples! Also some good drama, which I always like putting in here:

Tethys nearly scoffs. On her, that's a deceptively mild exhalation of sound--Hnf--and a tightening at the corners of her mouth. "Abstract 'time' has moved on, and Bankor is healing now, but many people suffered needlessly because of your choices. Some still are suffering. If you can't acknowledge that, haven't learned from it, then this affectation of wisdom is just that--affectation, self-delusion."

Seeing that the refugees aren't in immediate danger, her physical tension has dialed back, but she isn't exactly relaxed either. "Of course the galaxy isn't fair and perfect. It's full of people. The Force is made up of people, of living things and our connections to each other. If you truly believed those lives and those choices didn't matter, then I don't think you'd be in this tent, helping these people."

She opens a hand, stiffly--it's the one that had been wrapped in a death grip around the handle of her med kit a short while ago. "But this is an emergency situation. If you're not here to involve yourself in the conflict, then what we need to know right now is whether you'll pledge yourself to continue not to harm these refugees or the base's defenders. If you can do that honestly... we'll figure the rest out later."

I gotta second this. Despite the fact that the Old Merc took down Jan, with this vignette, we got someone who has seen the same trials and tribulations and stories from different perspectives as all the PCs.

Korriban.

Nar Shaddaa.

Bankor.

Ziost.

Alderaan.

And then Hoth.

While Lucinia's senses were not always as strong as others, she was always connected to Jan, her awareness of her lover never quite fading. It was through this that Luci could feel her pain. Feel her life fading. Luci went pale, her eyes closing. "Jan..." She whispered, a tear running down her pale cheek.

When her eyes opened a moment later, they were black.

"I'll kill them!" She screamed, a wracking, piercing sound, tearing at the ears of her companions. Wind began to whip around her, a swirling mass of debris and dark side energy, crackling with her rage. She lifted her arms aloft, bending the Force to her will. If Jan were merely wounded, this would give them something to draw their attention. And if she were dead, well, this would serve as a suitable pyre.

Up above, metal ripped and tore, screeching in protest as it yielded to the force of the power she commanded. The power station, a contrast to the raging Lucinia, still screaming, moved almost gracefully, a moment of silence as it levitated to the center of the battlefield.

And then, Lucinia thrust her fist downward, and the power station plunged to the earth...

This is...

1) Very dramatic
2) A very well made point
3) A sick burn

"Darth Baras," Tethys speaks up coolly and with composure, although her face still shows the marks of alert tension. "A reasonable observer must question whether you want what is best for any person other than yourself." She opens her hands palm-up as she takes a step away from the wall--a gesture of calm that also happens to show they're nowhere near drawing her lightsaber or other hidden weapons.

"Perhaps not even yourself, in the end. But your relationship with your own conscience is your business," she adds, as a thoughtful aside. "I've seen your effect on those whose lives touch--Luth, Layne, the late Lieutenant Ujips. Even you, Lord Draagh," she glances aside at the mysterious Sith Lord. "I thought you had more spirit, more life in you, when we met all those years ago on Bankor. Ten more years of Darth Baras has done you no good either." She sighs, barely audible.

"In any case, this decision is not yours, Darth. Ms. Khalan is a Republic citizen by virtue of her military service. It is an interesting thing--when you disappear without a trace, that is not the same as renouncing citizenship. Her children inherit that status, and they are entitled to all the protections of the Republic conventions on the rights of children. To stay with their caregiving parent. To live free of mental and physical abuse." She nods toward Luth. "Any concessions Luth makes to you now are her own last act of generosity to you. She and the children owe you nothing."

This, from the pirate parley thread, is both a pretty slick move by the player team (imo) and also a very cool narrative moment. Alderaan stands! (Probably?)

Galen moved to the holocommunicater and attempted to contact Castle Panteer. He held his breath, waiting to see who might answer.

There is distortion and then the holo forms and there is a technician he recognized and then it is replaced by his wife in more of her royal garb. A smile and then look of worry and she said, “Galen! Galen is that you?”

Baras’ mask fell to the ground as he coughed up blood, “I always hated you, you… your father… eventually your mother… your tu’kata bitch wife. I have dreamt of this moment.”

“But it is bitter… because you insolent welp have stolen my children and the one creature I deigned to love from me. And for that, I cannot let you live.”

He struggled to stay on his feet… as he coughed up blood.
So there's not really a best post in all this, but I'll link this one because it's the start of the posts that brought me to actual irl tears. I know it's a little gauche to link a thread you're in, but this whole plotline has been really good and this ending is genuinely heartwrenching. I feel honored to have been able to be part of it. Thanks to everyone who's been involved.

He held up a data pad and added, “I have never read such a poor review of my work, still cuts me right to the bone that they would consider my work a derivative of that nonsensical Vera Hawke. Surely they do not understand truly enticingly written eroticism if it bit them on the bottom and screamed bloody murder.”

While she recognized the gesture, it was certainly unusual. Those things that the other Houses down the mountain tend to do. She held a hand up to show that she wasn't that lame, at least. "Yes, victory. Good showing, my ally."

Garth contemplates patching Lana through on the comms as requested, but thinks better of it.

After all, from his own personal experiences with Nudi, it's never dull, but nor is it exactly a mellow environment.
Well played.
