Was Eva separated from her sister as a child or did Eva discover she had a sister later in life? Does Ves have a plan for if things go wrong when knowingly knocks back a poison drink or is Ves just a dumbass? Does Roziq and Elara's reunion happen more or less like a romanced Elara in game or does it go differently?

Was Eva separated from her sister as a child or did Eva discover she had a sister later in life?

Eva was close to her older sister, Elarin - who is Force-sensitive. When it manifested, their family kept it tightly under wraps for years, until Elarin couldn't control it anymore. She was 'gifted' to the Sith to build relations with the Empire.

Eva was heartbroken when Elarin left, and devastated when they received news of Elarin's demise a year later. The family probed, but all they got was a vague 'Jedi ambushed our Sith acolytes' story. They recognised the smokescreen, but only Eva decided to pursue it further. She wanted to believe her sister is alive; if not, then she would give Elarin proper last rites.

To get closer to the truth, she needed get into the Empire. She spoke to the family's Imperial contact, who knew of her espionage training, and got her into Imperial Intelligence...where she eventually became Cipher Nine.

She'd only found scant info about her sister's acolyte group being 'ambushed' by Jedi, before her life was fucking ruined turned upside in the class story. Even after she set herself free with the Black Codex, Eva was too busy dealing with trauma and galactic affairs to resume the search for her sister proper.

Fast forward to when Task Force Nova is formed, Eva offers her services in the search for Jedi, thinking to scrape info from them after getting nothing in the Empire. Then - she catches Elarin's name falling from a Jedi's tongue, pursues that lead with dogged fervour, until she has her Jedi sister held tightly in her arms.

Does Ves have a plan for if things go wrong when she knowingly knocks back a poison drink or is Ves just a dumbass?

You look at this fucker's face and tell me if anything goes on in her head before she puts anything in her mouth.

To be (a little) fair, she'd already tested the drink discreetly and taken a sip before Eva told her it was poisoned. At that point, there were two possibilities - either Ves' detection had failed, or Eva was lying. But she had already ingested the poison, and if Eva's warning was true, she'd die anyway. So in a Supreme Dumbass moment, she went 'fuck it. can she really kill me if even I can't kill me??' and downed the rest of the drink.

Honestly, Ves was betting that Eva's lying; if Eva wanted to get into the Alliance, and Ves was her best hook, then why would Eva kill her? Eva never tells, and Ves never knows. Eva did slide her a pill at the end of their chat, but for all Ves knows, it's just a sugar pill to keep up the illusion.

Also something something Force techniques, Ves has some ways to slow poison in her body until she can get an antidote from her stash. Darth Avriss has probably seen multiple poisoning attempts by now. No biggie. Just don't tell Lana she fuckin. slammed back a poison drink like she was doing shots.

Does Roziq and Elara's reunion happen more or less like a romanced Elara in game or does it go differently?

Gonna be honest, I haven't thought much about Roziq and Elara! Since Roziq wasn't with Aelirra on Iokath, they'd reunite on Odessen, when Elara returns with the Commander.

They would be happy to see each other safe and sound, Roziq lifting Elara from the ground in a bear hug, while Elara tries to hide the blush on her face. They'd have a rowdy time in the cantina with the rest of Havoc Squad, before sitting down in private to hash out what's happened between them.

I mean, they did part ways when their goals weren't aligned, despite wearing on their fingers the vow to always be there for each other. It'll be okay though, don't worry!!!!!
