Connections (Open In Between)

[Auro Syrdash]

Auro nodded, hesitating a moment before mentioning a possibility that he found unsettling. "I've also wondered if Orchid could have already had a personal vendetta against another version of me living in this galaxy before we arrived," he admitted. "We've discovered that, not only is a version of my mother alive here, Praeta Syrdash Rose through the ranks of the Jedi Order to become General of the Grand Army of the Republic."

"After more research, I was able to confirm that a version of my father, Ploush Belatau, is alive and serving the Republic as Commander of the Fifth Army here in the Outer Rim Territories. I wasn't able to uncover much in the way of details, but some sources indicate that these versions of my parents might have once had an intimate relationship. I've found no mention of them hatching a youngling with each other or anyone else, though." he concluded.

Picking up Pablo-Jill, who belched with a satisfied gurgle, Auro held the albek in his arms. He looked at his big sister Unna and his dear friend Ashla sitting across from him as they discussed these possibilities. He silently contemplated what destiny held in store for each of his friends as they soldiered on in this brave new galaxy. Come what may, he would trust in the Force that no matter what their fate might be, they would face it united as one.
