Crystaall began to reach forward to press the small button, but Grey-Kast grabbed her arm. She looked at him and tore his hand off her arm. Gey-Kast only began to open his mouth until Crystaall put her hand over it.
"We don't know if we don't discover what it does."
Crystaall pulled her hand back and began to reach for the button, this time hesitating to press it in.
"And for all we know, pressing it could kill us."
"Quit your superstitions and doubts. It's Vex we're talking about."
"That's my point."
Crystaall only scoffed and pushed the button in and pulled her arm back, nearly throwing herself backwards. Kast only sighed and mumbled under his breath 'He always said she was a hothead.' He put his hands on his hips and shook his head as nothing seemed to happen. The young bounty hunter only frowned and went to reach again for the device. Without out warning, a large boom shot through the walls of the ship, nearly shattering their ear drums. Both of them cringed, winced eyes and backed up with hands cupped over their ears. Once the echo became a dull roar, they opened their eyes and stared at the holo-projector. Everything had gone silent, and all that they saw was a man in a casual outfit. Crystaall gave it an odd look, having noticed the man almost immediately. It was Vex, and from what she remembered, he never took off his armor. His arms were relaxed and his black hair was slicked back more than usually. He then clasped his hands together, interlocking the fingers and looked directly at Crystaall. It was as if he knew where she would stand.
"Crystaall, if you are seeing this, than I have managed to achieve my goal. I have finally gotten you off of Coruscant and into the open galaxy. I knew this would mean my life, and the moment I met you I knew you would do great things. Before I go on, I want to establish that everything I own is now yours, including the Dragon Hawke. Knowing myself, I have died to protect you and ensure your safety. I also know that your heart has taken this very harshly, but you're light-hearted mind has thought nothing of it. And I tell you now, do not think I wasted my life. Do not think I could have lived and survived the escape. My fate was weaved, and I know what I must do to protect you. And for the many years I have watched and protected you, I am sad to say I will never see you grow into the woman you are destined to be. Its a funny word isn't it? Destiny, a word we always thought was used by those insane or lost within their religion. But Destiny is the exact thing that we believed in, and that was the fact that we knew our Fates could change, but we would eventually be its victim. And you are not only the victim of Destiny and Fate, but you are the victim of a troubled past and the mighty power known as the Force...."
