so I’m playing my new pro-Sith agent

and so first time at HQ after Jadus left this happened and BOY YOU GOT TOLD

SO HARD

I have never been pro-Sith in Keeper’s face before. I did not know he was that… openly opposed to them because wow that tone

for real Keeper actually scared me more than Jadus at that point

I LOVED THIS PART SO MUCH it took me so completely off-guard because Matthew was just like *subtle discomfort* and Keeper replied with a “yeah I know that feel but shh” and everything was so much on the down-low I felt I had unlocked something just managing to get that out of him

And then when I played on Diadre, I got this.  Her correction of him was more knee-jerk than anything, like a did I really hear that right at the thought that anyone in the Empire–let alone one in such a position of power–would dare even hint they were less than pleased with anything and everything the Sith did.  But turn it around from his perspective and it could be a lot more than that.  A brand new agent with a Dark Council member looming close behind is bad enough, but it would be a hundred times worse if they were a tale-bearer and a toady to solidify the Sith’s presence even when they weren’t there.

The severity with which he swats them down at this part startled me, but it makes sense that he’d want to get the point across fast and unmistakable: that no matter who they’re backed up by, he still has enough leverage to not be bullied by a lackey newbie who feels invincible because of Sith support.
