Chapter 9
After resigning over the assassination of Arion Rampart . Matteo Lorien Shepard left Coruscant , the capital of the Galatian Empire . He was still arguing with Rosalia , about the fact that he should have killed him (but after all he agreed with her that Noble o Bad batch should have killed him) . All the time he was pissed at himself . He did not know what to do . He wanted to remove Rosalia , but reminded himself that she is permanently connected to the ship's system-that is , without her , 'Saber' is more vulnerable to enemy attack . He let the air out , when he left the planet's atmosphere . He had his AI enter the coordinates . Rosalia nodded her head . After pasting in the coordinates , Matteo pulled the lever and jumped into hyperspace .
While in hyperspace Matteo looked at the hyperspace tunnel . It had every shade of blue color-from dark to light. Hyperspace gave him peace and tranquility - his body calmed down , his breathing was calmer , his heart worked better . Everything was .... peaceful , until the silence was broken by Rosalia.
"You know , from staring into hyperspace you can get a disease called 'Light Speed Psychosis' .
Matteo snorted . He knew that you can get this disease when you look into the center of hyperspace tunnel , and he looked sideways . He showed her the middle finger .
"Hey, that was unpleasant! " Her body turned red . The sentence she said sounded as if a little five-year-old child had said it . She put her hands on her hips and sent him a sinister look.
"Give me a break" Matteo waved his hand ignoring her . Rosalia did not give up.
"Listen , I know how you feel . But you yourself agreed with me . I don't know what this whole argument is about."
Matteo decided to answer her . In his head he collected various arguments.
"I should have killed him . Now he knows , that I am alive . Do you know what that means! It means that soon the Empire will issue an APB for me . Not only they will be looking for me , but also bounty hunters and even worse , the Inquisition! You haven't thought this through you stupid holographic bitch!"
"It's not my fault , that I was created this way. I am a reflection of my creator. What can I do about it? Nothing! I am the way I am and I can't help it." Rosala's body turned from red to blue. Then she sighed. "You should rest . You could use a nap."-her face softened more. " Relax , I will take care of everything . Don't you trust me anymore?
"My confidence in you has dropped a tad . And I will not take you up on your offer . I am not sleepy . I don't want to miss the view I will see when we fly out of hyperspace ." Matteo said.
"Interesting choice of planet . But why this one? There are plenty of other planets in the Galaxy . Why this one in particular?"
I know that you care about this mission , but you should focus on this your momentary rest. What do you say , spending time with me on this planet? " she asked him . Matteo looked at her . Her plan was working- to distract him from his goal. He scratched his head.
"Let me guess. With the help of a holoprojector I am supposed to transfer your consciousness , so that later after you land on the planet , find some place , put you on the ground , so that you can take the size of a human and talk to me?"
Rosalia smiled more. That was the point . Matteo understood her train of thought . Finally some person , besides her creator , who does not treat her like a typical machine . Success .
"So when do we leave hyperspace?" Matteo asked.
"In exactly two hours you will be over your chosen planet" Rosalia answered him with a smile on her lips . Matteo sat down in his chair looking at hyperspace.
Castilion according to animus was an ocean planet located near Wild Space in the galaxy's Mid Rim. There is only one cosmoport located on the main island . In addition to the spaceport on the main island there is a cantina , stores with various things , a small village , and a temple of the local religion . A perfect world . Quiet and peaceful . There is no other like it in the galaxy .
.
Matteo emerged from hyperspace over Castilion . He saw a blue globe covered with oceans and numerous islands . He decided to go to a quiet island . Tight , but his own . He accelerated his ship , speeding up at the same time the moment he landed on the planet and set foot on the island .
"Hmm Castilion. Why not Mon Calamari or Manannn? After all, those worlds , like this one, are also aquatic." Rosalia said.
"There's too much going on on Mon Calamari. The Imperials paid a visit there to the local authorities . Vader and the Inquisitors killed Ferren Barr - the Jedi who manipulated Lee-char - the king of Mon Calamari , into rebellion . The dark side and self-confidence blinded his mind . As for Manann . I prefer a bath in bacta than in kolto . Bacta is more effective than Kolto . It regenerates the body faster . Besides like Kamino they have one city and the Selkaths are not particularly nice . Stingy whores " Matteo answered her.
"That's where I agree. Ready to get your human skinny ass wet?" Rosalia said with a smile on her lips
"Just so you know dear! He will jump so on the bomb , that a tsunami will form and flood the main island!" Matteo laughed piloting the ship . Soon he was in the atmosphere of the planet.
Matt landed the 'Saber' on a small island . He shut down the engine and all the ship systems . He went to the bedroom , to change . He took off his Jedi robes and put on a new yorker shirt , black shorts and black flip-flops . After changing and leaving the bedroom , he again went to the cockpit to rip Rosalie on the holoprojector . The course of this was quick: Matteo took the holoprojector from the drawer , plugged it into the ship's system and quickly ripped Rosalie onto the holoprojector . He checked if it worked and surprisingly it worked! Rosalia displayed on the holodisk . Success! After a while he put the holodisc in his pocket and left the cockpit , and then the ship .
After exiting and closing the ship's ramp Matteo felt the air . Oceanic fresh air . It was wonderful . He took off the flap and with his foot touched the ground . Sand , covered with grass Matt liked sand . Comfortable , good to the touch except that he goes everywhere he falls . And it's good for pick-ups . Especially on Naboo senators .
Matt took a holodisc out of his pocket . He turned it on and Rosalia appeared . She looked around . She saw the beauty of the planet . Ocen , the land , the trees , everything looked so beautiful , so magnificent . She was happy . Together with Matteo she is in paradise .
"How beautiful it is here . Do you agree with me? - Rosalia asked
"Of course , that this world is beautiful . I chose it myself," Matteo answered
"Ha ha don't suck up just intend us to the water . I want to look at the waves" After these words Matteo turned off Rosalia and put the holodisc in his pocket and went to the water.
.
After reaching his destination Matteo took the holodisc out of his pocket and put it on the ground . Moments later he turned it on . Rosalia then assumed the size of a human being . She looked around , Being a little sad that she was not human , because she could feel the ocean air . But she was still happy to be here and spend some time with Matteo - a new friend .
Matteo looked at the Ocean . Blue Water . Just like the Caribbean islands or the Maldives . He moved away a little . He positioned himself as if he were sprinting and took a pop. He ran past Rosalia and jumped into the water for a bomb . Rosalia looked over and all she saw was one big splash . She watched to see if he would swim out . She waited and waited . She was afraid , but after all, AIs do not feel fear . She brought her right hand closer to her mouth . Now she experienced terror . She did not know what to do . She could not jump after it , because after all it is a hologram . She began to call out .
"Matt? Hey Matt . Matt? MATTEO!
Then , something shot out of the water . Something metal . Ros looked at what landed . It was an ancient armor . There were all its elements . Starting with the helmet and ending with the boots . And at the end Matteo jumped out . All wet and soaked . Every thread of his clothes was wet . Drops of water were flying from his black hair . Rosalia smiled , that her friend was alive . She even wanted to hug him , but how since he is Ai . But , she was still happy that Matteo was alive .
Matteo let out a breath of air and walked over to the parts of the armor . All the parts were golden in color . He knelt , to take a closer look at the armor .
"What do you think Ros? Who did this armor belong to?"
"According to my data . The armor belongs to the warrior Zakuul .
"Zakuul warrior?
"Yes . The Eternal Empire, also known as the Zakuul Empire, was a state founded by Emperor Valkorion formerly known as the Sith Emperor. It declared war on the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire in 3642 Year.
The Empire was founded by the Sith Emperor, who was searching in the Wild Space for a legendary giant fleet commanded by intelligent droids. He reached the planet Zakuul, and there united and subjugated the people there, appointing himself their immortal, eternal emperor and creating the Eternal Empire. He also founded a faction called the Knights of Zakuul. The Empire remained in hiding for many years expanding its power for future exposure to the galaxy." Rosalia explained.
"A relic of an ancient era . wonderful for my collection."
"It will look nice on a stand " Rosalia said
" Indeed . Ros what do you think . Will a lightsaber be found?" asked Matt
"I doubt it . Their lightsabers were with a regular handle and lightsaber spears with a blue crystal . The chances of finding a lightsaber are 0.0001% " Rosalia calculated.
"Too bad . I would already have a set , and so , " he sighed.
"Since we are not doing anything anyway , how about ...... I will ask you questions and you answer them . What do you think?" Rosalia suggested.
"Agreed. But , you practically know everything about me." Matteo was surprised
"Not everything . I have gaps in my memory . I want to get to know you even more . Then what shall we start?"
"Why not."

Rosalia asked him a lot of questions , until the sun began to disappear from the horizon . After answering all the questions , Matteo jumped into the water . He swam like this , for 2 hours while catching a huge fish for dinner . After swimming he made a bonfire and grilled the fish . The fish came out even good . Rosalia looked at his body - it was muscular .
Matteo felt sleepy . He turned off Rosalia , took the holodisc in his hand and went to his ship . Then he went into his bedroom and lay down on the bed , drifting off into a deep sleep .
