Characters: Darth Maul

Disclaimer: Yes, George, I fully acknowledge that Maul's yours not mine
(and godknows I'm not making any money out of him),
but if you treated him a bit better maybe we wouldn't be quite so driven
to fill in the blanks...

Summary: The first of a series of short vignettes from various points in
Maul's life.

Lord Sidious ordered me this morning to start writing a journal. He said it
would be a
worthwhile meditational exercise. First I was to summarize my earlier
experiences, as a
way to use my trained adult mind to better understand my past. Once that
task is
completed, he said I should continue adding my current activities. I
suppose this would
be a way to carry that same detached assessment into my everyday life.
Presumably
my Lord thinks I need further training in contemplation. _I_ think he
mistakes my
physical speed and justified wrath for mental impatience. I, at least,
believe I am adept
enough at stepping back from a situation and assessing its risks. The fact
that I did not
choose to disagree with him aloud, only supports my view.

To prevent this journal from being used against me, I have coded the recorder's
activator to my DNA: it will purge all files if any other being attempts to
read it.

...Meditational exercise? I wonder. I have just checked the chrono: this
day is exactly
twenty-four Standard years since I was born.

But whatever his reasons are, Sidious ordered it, and so it will be.
