[Ancient Possessions]: Disturbed Spirits
Textual submission

*I'm a Rogue Sith, trained by Plagueis initially. *

"How did you get inside my head?" Creon asked out loud. He was alone so didn't feel embarrassed for seeming insane.

*Telepathy and Mind Trick mostly. Your Force Signature grew in the Dark Side after your recent Porg slaying mission. So, you gained my attention and were susceptible to my possession. *

"Not sure I like this. You could be a distraction."

*Nonsense, having a Sith possess you can quite often be symbiotic. What was the old saying? Two heads are better than one?"*

"Better how?"

**Well, I have knowledge that could be useful to you in your quest for wealth and power. I can protect your mind from others who use you or conspire against you. And I can absorb your Dark Side energy so it doesn't completely overwhelm you. You'll have the Dark Side as your weapon while still following the path of a Jedi. *

"These are but words. I would trust you only if there were results."

*That is something we will both have to work on to achieve. You are the body and your will. Allow me to be the mind. I am your Krath, you are my Obelisk. It's like Master and Apprentice only we switch roles. *
“Please tell me you don’t talk a lot.”

*I do, but I won’t allow you to lose focus. I understand the value of silence and won’t get in the way of the here and now. *

“It feels like an invasion of privacy. Don’t to the privacy of your own mind?”

*See. That’s the thing. With **Telepathy** people’s thoughts are projected aloud without them knowing that it’s receptible. When you think it is like you are speaking out loud. I try not to have a big ear but I can’t help it when you decide to think near me. *

“How many people go through with this?”

* Oh lots of people. You’d be very surprised with how much we Sith possess other people. Some play with others like a meat puppet, others protect their possession in the psychic plane of the Force. *

“You enslave people.”

* I mean I can leave and find someone who seems more like an agreement. *

“No no… Stay… If this is commonplace then I’ll need your help to get ahead.”

* Now you’re thinking tactfully. Well done.*

“So uhh, what’s the fastest way to get rich in the Brotherhood?”

*It’s the Regent’s economy. He has a monopoly on all the vendors of the Brotherhood. He decides what we get paid and how much items cost. He doesn’t understand inflation, so I don’t think anyone’s pay is going to get larger. So we will have to climb the ladder. *
“The ladder?”

*Yes, their structural ladder of leadership. Rank, the societies, clan summits, and offices in the DC’s staff. It all depends on how much your want to produce and the worth it is to them in paying you for it. *

“Well… bounties aren’t paying as much as they said they would. Lets see where this ladder takes us.”
