Trysta didn't speak as she led Duncan up to the roof of a near by building. From there, they could watch as the scavengers picked through the buildings looking for anything. The Republic Troopers were picked clean of their equipment. Over watches like Duncan and Trysta made sure that they were not surprised by another Republic patrol. Though, a Star Destroyer could have slipped back Trysta as she found it very hard to focus. After about ten minutes she finally broke her silence.

"I can't explain it. I felt the moment he died. No, it wasn't when I cut his head off. He was dead before that moment. I felt his life fade from this world. I saw his life that he was leaving behind.
