FNM: BREAKING NEWS. Senator Tint falls to Darkside Madness! Urgent call for help!
Post Body

The FNM Logo appears with a subtitle. "BREAKING NEWS"

"Good day, I'm Kyle Solar, we interrupt this program for urgent and horrible news. Beloved Senator Yavorish Tint has gone insane due to Sith possession while Jedi Doctors attempted to save his mind. Reports and footage are coming in, parents, we recommend you do not let children watch this, it is disturbing, and we're only broadcasting it, because we believe he would have wanted us to be honest with his people and not try to sugarcoat it."

A woman in a dark cloak sets a device on top of Senator Tint's head. "Relax, you'll hear his voice during this, but he cannot control you, nor can he give you any powers. Are you ready?" She says in a reassuring voice

Solar's voice cuts in "I am no Jedi. But what happens next, this is in their minds, a common Jedi thing we've all heard stories about. You can tell which is Tint and which is not by the change in tone, the SIth is far deeper."

β€œYes” Tint acknowledges he closes his eyes as the device starts to work, then starts speaking rapidly and quietly, the audio is boosted for the report. "What have you done? I tried to convince her, but sh-e doesn't believe me and I trusted her! You failed again Yavorish Tint she is trying to erase my power from you! I can convince her that we're stronger together, not apart! Your failure is intolerable I am beginning to doubt your ability to do as you said you could. No, I can do it I can defeat Aboleth and protect Corsin no matter the cost!"

"Tint doesn't need you to defeat Aboleth!" Varriss's voice can be heard β€œYou had your chance to do something In service to the galaxy, and spent it on your own selfish desires, you would sell yourself to serve Aboleth if she offered you a seat by her side, begone! Return to the abyss that your spirit belongs in!”

Tint starts muttering again "I am the embodiment of unyielding power, the essence of immortality. You may topple empires, shatter worlds, but you shall never extinguish the eternal flame that is me. In the threads of existence, there has never been, nor will there ever be, a power as resplendent and indomitable as mine. Your struggles are but the futile flailings of insects, attempting to defy the storm. Bow before your eternal ruler, for I am Emperor Valkorion, and you cannot kill a god."

The feed cuts to a short bit later as Tint is shuddering " Varriss I'm sorry this is the only way. I trust the Jedi order will stop me once Aboleth is destroyed! The sacrifices of the weak matter not in the grand design, Yavorish Tint. Your path is set, and the Jedi Order shall crumble beneath your newfound might. Shed your tears, for they are but drops in the ocean of my power. Aboleth shall be eradicated, and a new era shall dawn."

Varriss falls to her knees, and throws her lightsaber to try and stop a Holocron from flying towards Tint, the blade stopping before hitting it by mere inches as Tint holds up a hand and stops it with the Force.

"Ah, Varriss, your defiance is as futile as it is entertaining. Behold the power of a god, and despair in the face of your insignificance" He says with a horrible laugh

Varriss stands as everyone in the room, including Luke Skywalker draw Lightsabers. "I stared down Aboleth, I serve the Ashla, I do not fear death." Varriss says, unhooking her Inquisistor's saber and igniting it "We are one with the Force, and the Force is with us. Yavorish if you are in there, and you don't help us stop you today, there will be no Jedi to stop you in the future, and Corsin will burn at your own hand. Valkorion, Kriff you."

Tint stands tall. "If you permit my departure from this place, I may consider sparing your lives, for a moment. But know this… my dominion is eternal, and I can reach you whenever I please. Your fate ultimately rests in my hands."

"And where would you depart to Valkorion? And as a matter of curiosity, is Tint even in there, or did you annihilate him?" Varriss asks

"Yavorish Tint is alive, as decreed by the universe itself. It desires Abeloth's eradication or her imprisonment, and I am the instrument through which this destiny shall be realized."

"Can he hear me?" Varriss asks with a touch of hope in her voice

β€œNo."

"Can you tell him something for me?"

β€œSpeak.”

"Tell him, I'll look after his people for him."

The Camera shifts back to Kyle Solar, "Unfortunately the malicious spirit possessing the body of Tint was able to escape, we asked Lady Varriss how he escaped and she had this to say."

*Varriss is being escorted into a Mirial hospital and is walking unsteadily "*We couldn't stop him, everything we had to limit him, he tore it off him like it was nothing! D*** that man for his D*** artifacts! I warned him! I tried to save him! He was my friend and he's gone!" She says tearfully as she is escorted out of frame by several hooded figures including Luke Skywalker.

"We spoke to one of the medical professionals who was on the scene as well."

A man in a lab coat and messy brown hair shrugs "Well the De-Sith-inator was operating properly, whatever was controlling him just overwhelmed his body to the point we couldn't control it, just like that time I fell down a hill and I had glue on my hands and then...."

The Camera cuts back to Kyle Solar.

"I think this should be a warning to us all about the danger of Sith artifacts. Per our reports, Senator Mike Larz, who was there to oversee the treatment and good care of Senator Tint was the unwitting transporter of a Sith artifact that allowed the spirit to consume Senator Tint. The video shows a Holocron summoned with the Force by Tint, up until that point Senator Larz did not know what it was, only that Senator Tint had told him to carry it with him at all times. I think it's safe to say, anyone who has Sith or Jedi artifacts, these are dangerous. Senator Tint was a war hero, a beloved Senator, and now his mind is destroyed because of something so many just see as a collector's piece. This story is also shown with the tragic case of our dear friend Senator Corran Valor. If you have Sith or Jedi artifacts, please, report them and the New Republic will send a Jedi to recover them and dispose of them in a safe manner. They may seem like a pretty paperweight right now, but we have had to see one of our best turned to madness by them."

The Camera shifts to Senator Larz being checked into the hospital as well, "Senator Larz was also checked into the Hospital, he has as of this moment been cleared and released. We expect him to make a press release shortly. In solidarity with Senator Tint, all FSF and RRR flags are to be put at half-mast, and all efforts will be made to save him and bring him back safely. To his supporters and anyone else who might see him, we urgently ask for your help, if he reaches out to you let us know so we can help him, while we wait and hope for good news, let us continue to stand for what he believed in and continue to build upon the hard work he put into his communities, let us honor his memory by continuing it, so that when we save him, he will see his ideas have come to fruition!" Kyle seems to hesitate "May the Force be with us. We need it."
