"Tave iyutrekyr iv Zia"

[Caffeline]

An old-style flimsi book wrapped in leather and secured with an old but serviceable genetic lock. Kaasian make, but the writing inside seems nonsensical; at least until a key is discovered on the inside cover.

So much has happened...

Ri Doti Wo seemed satisfied with my performance in the R&D arena, but then deeply disappointed with the results of the acolyte tournament. They and Ri Satwas are dissatisfied with that outcome...and they are not alone. I think Ri Atuzirsi Wo displayed their blindness in their choice to a crowd. I wonder how long it will be before their position is challenged by those whom perhaps see more clearly?

Ri Tutai has hinted that I might earn the opportunity to engage in a project of theirs. I encountered their subjects for the first time... they are incredible. Potent, terrifying and still juveniles... I must remember to avoid looking at their eyes though. They remain dangerous.

I took the lead on the mission to deal with a rabid creature which was attacking a mining camp on Axxila. It...was not entirely successful. I made an error in judgement. I panicked and acted too soon. My actions killed the creature we were tasked to capture. I accept my mistake...and I admitted it in the report. I don't know if Ri Satwas will decide to punish me for that or not, since the others were able to bring in the second creature. I was so annoyed with myself and it that I severed the stinger from the corpse. I realised belatedly that it might be mildly interesting or useful to Ru Tutai. I can but ask and offer...and maybe it can count towards earning a place in that project.

Ri Doti Wo brought me back to Korriban. We ended up speaking about my possible ascension and the choices of who my master might be. I don't know who I would want...but I at least know who I don't want. Ri Atuzirsi Wo can take three apprentices...and I was warned one might be me. Why would I want a Sith for a master who clearly favours weaker, more pathetic acolytes?! But...the harder path makes a stronger Sith. I will adapt and overcome, if necessary.

I have finally managed to pass the test to start learning a new saber form! Unfortunately...only the Blademaster knows it well enough to teach it. The gaps in available knowledge here slowly become more and more apparent.

It's crazy, but I put forward a proposal to try and help with the war effort...and it was partially accepted! I'm allowed to learn how to use a medkit for use out on missions! Only acolytes who have earned their name will be permitted for this, but still! Ri Doti Wo seemed pleased at this. Even congratulated me.

I must not let this go to my head; everything is a test, and one wrong move can get me killed.
