Cold. Numbing cold. My ears are ringing, and I'm trapped in this spongy prison. There's a 1.2765% chance that I'll survive this, so I may as well recording my last musings. Percentages. Interesting. There's less than a 2% chance with even a talented gunner that someone could hit a ship in the midst of a shield flux, directly impacting the hull. Probably less than 1% that one could hit a *cloaked* ship, and the odds of them doing enough damage to destroy the ship? Unfathomable.
I'd like to hope that a ship will find us and pick us up, but I've only got a few days, and it would take a madman to try to rescue us while Farghorg's flagship is sitting there. I'll likely end up frozen in this damned bubble cloak, but at least there's a chance this datapad will survive. I'm not sure where to begin. It's not every day that you end up torn from everything that you knew, waiting to die. I'm still not sure how everything went wrong. Geonosis was a long shot, but it worked. I suspected that we'd be the only group talented enough and properly equipped to access the necessary data, and who else would even *want* the Death Star blueprints? Who else would analyze them? Success was assured, and the 7% chance that we'd lose a member of the team was negated by the fact that the data would surely lead to the fall of this perversion known as the Empire. As it turned out, everyone survived, as unlikely as that seems.
As for our own decimation, I'm not certain where this started. How could Farghorg have known I was lying? My seemingly nonexistent connection to the Force, plus my heavy dependence on my cybernetic head-unit rendered me nigh-impervious to any kind of tricks the Sith Lord would have attempted on me. Navi and Krussik wouldn't betray the only chance of restoring balance to the Force. EmQuai seemed to share a common goal, and Zahn's a carefully trained soldier who...
By the Force.
How long have I known Zahn? I've carefully reviewed his dossier. He's intelligent and incredibly talented. He wouldn't have slipped up when he split off with Diva. He's much too cautious for that. I can't imagine him being that utterly foolish, but then how were we found out? Is Zahn a traitor? I can't attribute his faults to stupidity, and that leaves only one alternative: Malice. Zahn betrayed us all for what? A woman? Command? Whatever the Sith did to him on Xyn has clearly corrupted him. It's the only way that things could have gone so wrong so quickly. His priorities are clearly at conflict with our own. Of this, I am certain, with at most... a 3.47% margin for error.
Still, I cannot confront him. He would kill me. There must be some other way...
