Subject: "Ahhh, yesss, right on schedule..."

Beneath his ebon hood, a wry smile cracked on the Sith Lord's face as he spoke, pronouncing the last word "sehhshuel". He stood in a darkened stone chamber in the shadow of a large ring of an ancient metal.

Before him, the ring began to turn in place, parasitic vines long ago withered upon finding no feast now cracked and falling away. One by one, arcane symbols similar to those etched in the walls of the chamber locked into place, and a shimmering pool of energy erupted forth, withdrawing just short of contact with the unflinching dark master. Versary chuckled as the now placid surface before him broke, and a young Rugby officer ran through, breathing hard. He looked at the man before with a mixture of confusion and elation.

"Welcome, my new apprentice. We are well pleased with your performance thus far..." he began, taking a step forward, cautiously eying the charged blade in Oni's grasp. "You have done well...to embrace the path to real power there can be no obstacles, no interference. You must let yourself be free and slash all ties, all former loyalties.

You have begun. You have taken the first steps. And when the time comes, you will sever the shackles and restraints THEY have imposed upon you with such force, the SPUniverse shall tremble at the very mention of your name...

Class is in session, Oni Ikari. The time will come when they call YOU 'master'; for now, you bestow that title upon another."

Oni nodded slowly, deactivating his saber, and he knelt before the Sith Lord. Versary betrayed no emotion but inwardly, inwardly his pleasure nearly overwhelmed him.

"At last," he thought, "At long last...."

"The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool."
�George Santayana (1866-1952)
