1 ABA, 1st month, Day 6.
Well, a lot has happened. I did tell Luke about his father. He didn't react how I expected. Instead of screaming about how it wasn't possible, he just immediately wanted to "rescue" him. Rescue him my ass. That monster killed my father. But, I think Luke understood that our main priority was our friends.
We had to be on Imperial Center for a few days, while we found contacts, information, etc. We ran into Boba Fett, and that led into a shootout that forced us to go underground. We finally traced Pel to a stolen shipment of medical equipment that was delivered to some big tower under construction. We went there, and found Pel at the top, along with Vader and a bunch of uber-troopers. Zach immediately got Pel free with some impressive uses of the Force. Luke got shot all to hell. I was really worried about him, and I figured Vader would call off the attack on him if he knew. So, I kinda very loudly called Luke by his last name. Kenobi is going to kill me.
Vader was afterwords distracted by trying to get Luke to stay. I latched myself onto Luke, whom, by the way, thinks I'm in love with him or something. While I think he's a nice guy... he's just that. A nice guy. Too nice. It's kinda creepy how nice sometimes. Anyway, I think Luke was really tempted to stay and try to redeem Vader, but also figured that I wasn't leaving him, so he came with us.
We were met at the bottom of the turbolift shaft by Antares Draco and some more Imperial Knights. People tried to convince them to turn on the Empire. I told Draco to grow some balls and do what he knew was right. He and a couple of Imperial Knights did defect, but some others didn't, and attacked us. We managed to escape Imperial Center on the The Knightspeed, but not before lots of people were very badly hurt. Dool took Zach and Taryn, who had gotten hurt badly, and Pel's younger brother, away on a speeder during the fight.
We set a course in for an asteriod field, to stop and check the ship for tracers. Luke tried to disable a tracer, but it destroyed the hyperdrive in the process. Nearest port is Cloud City. Which, wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that Fett contacted Talia and told her that he had The Wayfarer and everyone that was on board, and would only trade it for either me or Pel. So now people want me to get in touch with Lando and get him to help us. I hate depending on other people for things and asking them for favors.
Also, I think Antares thinks I'm the worst person ever. Bleh.

Intercepted Imperial Transmission
SEC-COM AUTH ID 42908AURESACO
TRANSMISSION ENCRYPTION SET TO: full
SEC-COM ORIGIN: fleetcom/command/ackbar
SEC-COM DESTINATION: specops/liasion/projectwellspring
Alliance Intelligence SigOp group intercepted a communication between Imperial military satellites in the Coruscant system and an unknown location in the Deep Core. SigOp cryptologists were able to partially break the code; the communication is currently being reviewed in Analysis and further decryption is ongoing. I am forwarding the decrypted portion of the message to you for review and dissemination to to the members and affiliates of Project Wellspring.
DECRYPTION PROTOCOL R565KL188 BEGIN
... responsible for this disaster have been arrested by Imperial Security and executed for dereliction of duty and incompetence by Lord Vader himself.
Effective immediately, the Imperial Knight project is being shut down. All propoganda efforts through our COMPNOR Communications affiliates will cease; planned broadcasts will be replaced by stock Loyalty Office material until new material can be created. All assigned military support assets will be reallocated to central command.
The remaining Knights in service will be detained by Imperial Security for thorough psychological evaluation with emphasis on loyalty conditioning. Any irregularities beyond the allowable margin of error will result in summary execution. Approved Knights will be reassigned for advanced training with the XX(((R565KL188 failure)))XX project.
Apprehension of the treasonous Knights is being assigned moderate priority. Project scientists estimate a 98% chance that the failsafe protocols enacted after the destruction of the Felucia facility will prove lethal within one standard month. Anti-insurgency units on Alderaan are reminded that the failsafe protocols are not present in the two Knights suspected to be active in the rebellion on Alderaan; their capture remains a top priority.
I hope that the fallout from this debacle clearly demonstrates the price of failure in the New Order. I remind you that this terrorist attack took place within 100km of our beloved Emperor's private residence and less than 5 minutes from the Imperial Palace. Without Lord Vader's timely intervention, the potential damage could have been immeasurable. Do *not* fail the Emperor again.
DECRYPTION PROTOCOL R565KL188 END
Our cryptologists are using every technique we possess to crack the rest of the cypher, so far without success. We have no information beyond guesses as to the content of the message we haven't been able to crack. I will provide you with any updated information as appropriate.
The Alliance had no planned operations of that scale on Coruscant, but given the circumstances I can only assume that our friends in Project Wellspring were reponsible for it. Please pass along my sincere congratulations for their success.
I suggest that you get your new Knight friends to a secure medical bay for a complete bio scan as soon as possible. Whatever those 'failsafe protocols' are, we might be able to neutralize them if the medtechs get a head start.
May the Force be with you,
Adm. Ackbar

Jolee's Journal (Session Summary 10/18, 11/1)
1 ABA, 1st month, day 2.
On the Millennium Falcon, en route to Alderaan. The little Jedi, Kazdan Paradus, needs cybernetic surgery, and Alderaan has the best facilities outside of Couruscant. Also took the two Imperial Knights with us, since they are both from Alderaan.
Talked to Odak for a while before we left. I'm worried about him. I don't think he'll be content at the Academy for much longer, but I'm not sure people will let him leave. There are trust issues there. He's hard to read. I don't know how he feels about any of us.
Also spent some time practicing with Zane and Dory. Zane's a good kid. I feel bad about ignoring him while growing up.
Need to go. Am being summoned to the cockpit. Probably another "Now, I don't care what she thinks, but if I did, what do you think I should do..." things with Han. People should just say what they think.
1 ABA, 1st month, day 4.
I'm feeling a bit sick. Ok, a lot sick. I don't do well with moral dilemas. Am now aboard the Wayfarer. Tallia was out on some minor mission with Luke and Dool Fortuna, and we hailed her to come get us. We're headed to Couroscant to rescue Pel. Who was captured by Vader. And Luke is with us. And I'm the only person onboard who knows who Luke's father is. And Pel knows. And Pel is with Vader. Do I tell Luke? I think so. But I have no idea how to tell him. Normally I would just blurt it out, but I'm not sure that's the best way to tell someone that their father is the scourge of the galaxy.
I think some people expect me to feel guilty over Pel's capture. But I don't. It was his choice to come along as part of the distraction. I'm sure he knew the risks. And frankly Vader would probably have just killed me outright, instead of this elaborate plan to turn him into a second Vader. So, better him than me. Well, if we can get him back. Otherwise it should have been me.
Ok, going to tell Luke. Sometime. Before we land. Maybe. Or before we get to the hospital. Soon. I think.
