Star Wars : The New Sith Crisis

Remorse

Saraan sat in the ship's deserted cockpit, her shoulders silently shaking with sobs . Tears fell to the floor, forming a rather large wet stain on the carpeting . She had never felt so sad or ashamed in her entire life . Torture was something a Sith did, not Jedi . And when she looked at the prisoner, writhing in pain from their latest drug or torture, she couldn't help but feel a sense of wrong . In the back of her head, the more rational part of her argued that if this was Dart's killer, she would have confessed by now, to avoid the pain and suffering , while her other side, the side that was still very much angry over Dart's death and the destruction of his memory crystal, argued that the prisoner was Sith and was just being stubbornm afterall she did have a red lightsaber .Saraan stood, her back screaming at her in cramps, and stretched before walking toward the prisoner's cell . As she reached the hall before the cell , she stopped and composed herself , not wanting to appear weak to the captive . Stepping around the corner, Saraan realized it had been a futile gesture, for the alien girl lay against the wall, still held up by the chains and unconsious . Her head rolled back and forth and she moaned in pain at frequent intervals . Saraan saw the burn marks left by the force-whip she had used earlier and flinched in shame . Walking over to the med-cabinet , near the door, she lifted out a universal pain-killer, guaranteed to be non-toxic to most species . Saraan filled a hypo-spray and opened the cell's force-field door .Kneeling beside the blue-skinned girl, Saraan held the hypo-spray against her neck . When she didn't feel a warning tinge from the Force, Saraan pressed the trigger and released the medicine into the captive's bloodstream, chasing away the agony .As she stood, the alien girls eyes opened, gazing at Saraan in a blank stare, seemingly not recognizing her , then her eyes closed again . Saraan slowly walked out of the room . As she left, Saraan heard the ear-splitting screech that Kyp had turned on to keep the prisoner from sleeping .
