Riley couldn’t fault him for his suspicions about the ISC. In fact, she harbored much of it on her own. Emryc Thorne had the galaxy eating out of his palm and everything lined up far too conveniently. What else was going on and what was the end goal? She had seen enough to always suspect when...

Riley’s jaw tightened at Wolf’s words, “Great,” She hissed through gritted teeth, “That’s real reassuring and just what I wanna hear,” How the hell was he so calm right now? Was he really that good or did all Mandos have little else going on under the metal buckets? She was thankful for the...

Spoken to their elder? How the hell did Wolf speak to anyone while they screamed unintelligibly at him? She was extremely skeptical about this whole thing as she finally got off the bike. Riley held her hands up to show she wasn’t being shady, but it didn’t stop the raiders from brandishing...

Riley was deeply uncomfortable by the time they arrived, her thighs and hips feeling as if they would be in a world of hurt the next few days. Holding onto a fully armored Mandalorian was also highly unpleasant as her hands kept slipping against the metallic plating. She was silent the entire...

Riley gave an unamused look through the scarf at his response about her being a doctor. She almost pointed out that being a doctor didn’t mean she could magically predict diseases she hadn’t seen, but the point would be lost on such a dunce. He probably only had enough brain power to handle a...

Riley’s brow visibly quirked above the scarf at his name. Wolf? That was a bit dramatic and tacky, but whatever floated his boat. Mandos were strange and she wasn’t going to ask questions. She took the money and stashed it, scoffing at the concern for her running away. “You’d shoot me if I...

Even with a mask on, Nick would be able to see the deeply unamused expression on her face from the remarks he made at the victim. Riley sighed as she watched the kid pass out, “You know I already feel enough like a bully…” She trailed off. She chewed on her lip nervously at the slip of the...

“Nick!” Riley called out after staring for a second or two, “I-I mean Lieutenant Shaw,” She stammered before she quickly looked at the younger Ranger, “Of course, bring him in,” Riley said as she put her mask back on, helping carry the victim inside. The beds were mostly full, but there was one...

Riley tried to put as much distance as possible between her and AMS. She carried that guilt of making the original strain for years now, and it never got easier. As a result, she wandered out into the Outer Rim planets to attempt to help those in need. MorataCorp had begun to rapidly expand...

Riley had detached from big pharma companies and situations that could allow the Hutts to hunt her. AMS had blown up across the galaxy, and she was responsible for that original strain. It was a burden she carried with herself every day. She always had to worry about people on her trail and the...

Riley didn’t hear his words, but she was also too caught up by his other ones. Raised as a Sith soldier? He grew up shaped and molded to serve a purpose. Where, then, did he gain his humanity? Why did he go out of his way to help her? All of this time he could have pushed his own agenda. Was it...

Riley tried to protest his methods at getting their ride, but she knew it was pointless. She listened to his story, grimacing as he described being cut open. Her mind immediately went to all the scars he would still have, and then that led to wondering about how else everything looked under… She...

Riley sighed, realizing he was stubborn as a mule. She would never be able to talk him into fleeing for his own safety. Her thoughts lingered on what he mentioned the Sith might do, and she was left with a sick feeling in her gut, “You would have to...leave the Sith?” She asked quietly, almost...

Riley could only focus on the images, her jaw dropping in horror. When he spoke, she barely heard him. She was witnessing all this for the first time. All the truths about him being Sith, all her fears and doubts, all of it came flooding back. He had slaughtered the local militia groups, and she...

Riley mumbled incoherently in response, entirely embarrassed from the exchange. She couldn’t deny the sudden loss of warmth from him abruptly stepping back, and she hadn’t even realized where his hand had been. She could tell he hadn’t either. Riley quickly pushed everything from her mind...

Riley was thankful that Ender was there to catch her, but her focus remained on the droid. She grumpily looked at it while Ender eased her down to sit. When the droid began to explain very matter of factly that she needed to stay, Riley scoffed. “You will have me dead by tomorrow!” She pointed...

Riley’s vision focused as she looked up and saw Ender. She couldn’t help but smile at him, and it lit up her whole face. She was genuinely happy to see him, and that was clear as day. The droid muttered something, and she was quickly distracted. Riley glanced over at the medication being pumped...

A full day would pass by before Riley came to. The only med bay nearby was a discreet one run entirely by droids. It was still under Hutt jurisdiction, and they had limited time there. Ender would have to make himself as scarce as possible for her to still get care. Riley had to be dropped into...

Riley watched him as he spoke. Few words came out, but a world of expressions displayed on his face. It was more specifically in his eyes. She was never good at outright reading people, but what she saw made her freeze in place. He flickered only once. It was the first time she had seen him do...

Riley was consumed by her thoughts, actually a bit terrified from how she had lashed out at him. However, she looked at him again when he spoke. He kept a perfectly calm resolve, and it was almost not human. He was always calm, always collected, always measured. It was what set him so far apart...
