I find it incredibly hilarious that Eight not only was forcibly retired from being Outlander because he got too murder-y with it, but was relegated to trying out assistant work for Theron because everyone deemed him to have at least a moral backbone with which to allow Eight to get a second opinion off of (and hopefully grow his own). Which results in situations like either Theron getting in trouble and his ever-capable assistant whom was assumed to be a pencil pusher suddenly being revealed to be the former Outlander who disappeared from the role, or Eight himself being targeted as a liability to Theron and then said attackers finding out, unfortunately, that Theron's assistant is a much better fighter than him and why does the Alliance have someone like this doing secretary work.

Zakuul learns to be wary of anyone they assume to only be administrative personnel, lest they be secret assassins and former Ciphers, of all people.

#swtor #ooc #eight is the battle maid of secretary work #idk why im sharing this but it does make me snicker.#but yeah the alliance decides that Eight has done enough damage as outlander and lana entrusts theron with directing him #since she fails at doing so with bloodier consequences due to their bad combination of pragmatism and means to an end justification #eight himself gets to rest and do menial intelligence work which is largely just helping without being in the field as much #and his mental health does improve because they take him aside and go hey. you don't need our acceptance. but if you'd like to start over #and be someone else that isn't our weapon we'd like to try again. because the alliance is more than this and we were wrong #and i think lana trusts theron of all people to oversee it this time *bc* of what happened in rishi #that where her pragmatism fails and costs her friends dearly he can take up the helm #but more than that it's also eight's choice to put down the sword. to clean off the blood. to try again. this time next to people
