TIE Fighter Parking [MC roof, way, way too early in the morning]
Vader had been just dropping off to sleep the night before when the Emperor's image had appeared before him.
He took a moment to than the Force that the message had come today and not the weekend before, then finally allowed the orders to sink in.
The Death Star was ready for its final phase of testing.
Not being there for it was out of the question.
He'd spent a few moments in his office tidying up--not stalling for time, really--then finally pulled out a piece of paper, scrawled an "I'm sorry," and his old signature on it, then wrote Rory's name on the front in Basic and shoved the whole thing under Padmé--Evey--whoever's--picture in his desk drawer and locked it closed.
Before leaving the room, he paused to look around. Something about this entire process felt...unfinished.
Like he should've made more permanent arrangements for things.
Like he wouldn't be returning.
He shook his head trying to get rid of that niggling prick of doubt as he stalked towards the TIE.
A few minutes later and the TIE was streaking into the morning sky.
A few moments after that even the contrails had disappeared.
Darth Vader was gone.
[OOC: That Vader has left Fandom *sob* very much for broadcast. What he was doing beforehand, not so much.]
