The number one drama causer is at it again. He's not really sorry.

Who: Vader
What: Self-surgery, healing, dragging people into his mess
When: Early month, prior to the mini-missions
Where: A room in a rent-by-the-day building in the Magitech, Obi-Wan's hut, probably other places as things develop
Content Warnings: self-surgery, blood (lots of blood), to be updated as needed



Given the chip implanted into them was at the base of their skulls, what it did, and the experiences he had with implanted chips - both in his men and in himself - it probably shouldn't surprise anyone he decided to handle it himself.

Not that he hasn't taken done preparations. A field surgery kit, mirrors, some kind of healing gel and bandages, a tarp on the floor under a cheap chair, and furniture moved away. The room was paid for a couple of days. After thinking it over before he started, he sent a text message to Padmé and a message to Obi-Wan.

Then he washed his hands, the back of his head and his neck, and sat in the chair, prepared so the mirrors allowed him to see the back of his head and neck clearly, even when his hands were in the way. And started cutting. Peeling. The scar tissue was thick, tough, and hard to pull apart. But pull it apart he did, because he didn't want to cut nerves or large blood vessels - there wasn't a bacta tank here. It took time, to get down to muscle, to scrap it away from the implants in his spine without harming his implants or causing too much muscle damage (what he thought was too much anyway).

He didn't winch or flinch, only swore when a blade broke. Angerly threw the disposable ones across the room and set a blade into the reusable ones.

She shuts her eyes in anticipation, feeling only a moment of instinctual resistance before she can reassure herself that it's all right to let go. She's safe with him. Nothing more awful than what she's already trying to wrap her mind around is going to be waiting for her on the other side of sleep.

Then, with a soft sigh of gratitude, she slips into sleep that, if not entirely dreamless, will at least be relatively peaceful.

He's relieved that it works, and he hopes that sleep will help her process any of what she's learned today. A part of him is tempted to stay until she wakes, but that isn't what she'd asked, and he does understand the need to have some time alone in the wake of that news.

He makes sure she's comfortable, adjusting her position as she falls, and pulling a light blanket over her after. And then he leaves, like he said he would.
