"Ah.... You don' task the easy questions do you, Lyseil?" Zane asked,his eyes on her for a few long moments. "I could skip a few parts, hide some of my motivations, but I suppose that would be against the spirit of what we are doing here."
There was a lingering pause as he brought the glass to his lips for a small sip. "When I told you I was retired, that was a rather generous interpretation of the actual facts. I was forced to retire, would likely be closer to the truth, I didn't want to leave." His eyes drifted up the the ceiling as the drink left his lips. "The last mission I did for the Republic, the SIS went rather poorly, in all honestly it was a bit of a hot mess, and steps had to be taken so the mess didn't spread. Someone had to take a fall for all of it, shoulder the blame, and as the only surviving member of my team, that fell to me. I was disavowed, my service records wiped, and returned to the Republic military where I was honorably discharged from service at the rank of sergeant." His lips curled into a wry smirk. "It could of been worse, but I have some friends that helped me land on my feet."
"After that I was a bit lost, I didn't quite know what to do. Sis was my home, my team my family. all I knew was I wanted to get back at the man who put me in this position. So I went with what I knew, information. I went digging for it, helping some people, hurting others. Back in those days it was all a ends to a means... I wasn't very picky about who I might hurt, as long as I got closer to my goal..."
Z looked her way, a bit of a apology behind his eyes. "It was like that for years, living with out a care, taking what jobs I could to make ends meet, so I could get closer to my goals. Things started to change a bit though, during those peace talks in Nar Shaddaa, I was close so very close to the object of my revenge..." He lets his eyes drift away to his glass as he studied it for a few moments, slowly turning the stem between his fingers. "It was looking for that revenge I stumbled upon Project Evolution. That was a turning point, one I might not of made if I didn't have some good friends around. Though I won't lie, part of me put a stop to it, just to foil Matthis's plans. He wanted that virus for his own purposes."
"By the end of it all, everything had changed. Matthis was dead, though I had no hand in it. The years I spent chasing him were nothing but dust... The family I lost would never rest easy..." He shook his head, dismissing those thoughts as he brought the glass to his lips for another drink. "I knew I couldn't keep going the way I was though, there was nothing there anymore. so I took a different path. Using my skills to help where I can, to help those that need it. To find information and try to prevent people from becoming like Eralynn. It's the only skills I really have, and redemption is a long road."
Zane let his eyes drift towards Lyseil, a ghost of a smile on his lips. "Does that answer the question?"
