She felt demoralized. A feeling she had never felt before, nor was the loss of Vex. Sadness, regret and guilt. But from those feelings arose anger, hatred and revenge. These feelings were something she had never heard of, except for anger. She had never hated someone, and she had never heard of revenge. But these feelings clouded her mind, and were soon to arise from her phase of sadness. But these feelings were more intense than any of the others she knew, not because of their names, or the unlimited strength she could gain from them, but something was hyping them up. Making them stronger than they should be. Crystaall activated her armor while the two imbeciles in front of her just stared at her, as if frozen in ice. The armor started to fold around her neck, and then began to stretch out around her arms, overlapping her chest and then circling around her legs. There were many clicks and ticks that bounced off the walls of the silent room. Crystaall only stared at Grey-Kast and nodded to him.
"I'll be going."
"Wait- Why?"
"I can't let anyone else get hurt."
"Just stay here so you can recover from this.. change."
"Why would I stay in a place I no longer belong in?"
"Aren't you tired? You fought off a man with a lightsaber and got your arms taken away. You appear out of nowhere with blood on whatever you were wearing. You didn't look like yourself. Can't you take a moment to sit back and reflect?"
"I already have, and how do you expect me to rest when everything I know is a lie?"
"Not everything is a lie. You are still here, you still are Crystaall, and Vex still is your best friend. If you go out searching for the place you belong in, you will never find it."
"Why the hell do you give a damn what I am searching for? Hell, why do you care what I am doing? You are not my guardian, nor are you my parent. And I never would work well with a lowlife smuggler."
"You egotistical brat!"

Chaper 5: A Life Not Meant To Be Pt 2
"Unfortunately we can't do that ma'am."
"And why not?!"
"We don't have the technology."
The doctor was doing his best to explain, but it was obvious he was losing control over the situation. Crystaall's anger was rising, and it began to rise more as she began to believe the doctor was only attempting to stall her and that she still wanted to have her weapons in hand and possibly take the doctor's life a few moments later. Grey-Kast noticed this and walked up to Crystaall again, but this time he only took a few steps forward, afraid of being hit again.
"Crystaall.. that thing inside you.... its too advanced for local doctors and if anyone has that kind of tech, its probably the Empire. Even a small faction like the Alliance doesn't have that tech."
Crystaall stared at Grey-Kast and sighed a moment after, realizing her anger at them was only futile. It has gotten her into too much trouble already and she already managed to endanger Grey-Kast's life.
"Ma'am, that device inside you will feed on your anger, and if it feeds for too long... it can render control over your mind."
"What, so it will act like a possession? Will it gain my knowledge and my memories?"
"Its not likely, but it can access your basic DNA such as your name, your fighting and your personality. It could mimic you, but the rage it feeds upon will make it unstable, so it should not even be able to have a chance to copy you."
"That's... good."
Crystaall slowly began to make her way off the bed, but she expected both of them to stop her. She wanted to be angry, to use her rage to attack them. It would be pointless, for if she unleashed her rage, it might kill them. This, A.I, might kill them. She didn't want the death of innocents spread across her chest, labeling her as a murderer. Her bounty hunting days were those against the immoral with Vex and eliminating mandolorian rebels, but she swore to never kill an unarmed man. An unarmed man who had the intention to rat out the weak and defeat the poor with the flick of his finger, was another story. Now all she could do was sulk. Sulk in the memory of Vex and sulk in the knowledge of having a power hungry robot planted within her head. She was surprised that she even managed to touch the floor once more, with neither Kast or the doctor stopping her.
"And why not?!"
