Vas was called to a mission where hostages would need to be rescued from Imperial extremists.
Still, not really knowing his place in this new Jedi order, he followed his summons, determined to do whatever he could to help. This was sort of out of character for him, normally he only cared about taking care of himself, but that was before a group of people decided to give him a place to stay, free (good quality) food and even free money, expecting little in return. He sort of felt obligated to help where he could.
As they all looked over the plans, Vas wondered what would drive someone to be an extremist, or at least be called one. The Empire, for all its faults, did actually bring some sense of order to the galaxy, after a very corrupt Republic. Whether or not this new Republic would be any better, well, it was too early to say…
Then the idea came to him, to breach through the sewers, so they would not see us coming. This was working well until someone kicked a trip wire - they are very difficult to see though, so no blame there, it happens.
Over the PA, Vas heard this man’s voice, and he sounded like the worst kind of person, a true believer. “Anyone you can’t buy with credits is a dangerous person”, that’s what his mother always taught him, but then again, she was dead. All her wisdom got her was an early departure date from living. So, who knows, maybe, he’s doing the right thing?
Whilst the others were mostly very engaged in combat, Vas was far more concerned with getting the hostages out and getting home alive. He used his Misdirect power on someone else for the first time ever and it felt - strange (using the dark side). It made him feel a little sick in his stomach. The Jedi with them told him that he was accessing the “dark side”, well, where is this “light side”? Why won’t it let me use it? (I have never rolled any light side pips for this character yet). Maybe he needs to pay more attention to what they are teaching. Maybe when he feels better when using it, he’ll be able to know the difference.
It’s all a mystery still. But he still has a roof over his head, food in his belly, work to do and people around him who aren’t constantly trying to scam him, so, life is - good?
