Who: Tarkin, open!
When: During the empathy flood
Where: All around the ship, and possibly in your cabins because he's invasive like that.
What: Tarkin finds out he has the ability to detect lies. He immediately puts this to use and interrogates half the Barge

Fear is a familiar feeling to Tarkin. Not his own, of course; he's felt apprehension and concern, but never outright fear for his life, not even as a child. But other people's fear; this is something to which he's grown accustomed.

He walks through the Barge, sensing passengers' growing unease and dread with as much consideration as he might give to a weather report. It's a strange sensation, but he takes a few days to grow used to it, allowing it to consume him rather than fight it, as some seem to be doing. Intruding thoughts, most likely from his own, new warden, constantly surface, but he considers it most like a holonet call he cannot hang up.

Others passing by Tarkin might be struck with how ruthless, annoyed, and disgusted he feels on a low level from day to day, where it concerns his position on this ship, the Admiral, or the other passengers themselves. Either way, he makes no secret at how irritating he finds this whole situation, and there may be one or two spikes of outright loathing where it concerns certain named individuals. Aside from that, there's a decisive lack of empathy, period. He might be considered an emotional black hole, unable to muster up a care for whomever crosses his path. There's an overwhelming sense of how insignificant one's life is, when they approach Tarkin.

He discovers his other, more favored power completely by accident. One warden asking another;

How are you?, and the second responding

Fine.



You're lying, he thinks.

No; he knows.

Suddenly made aware of this newfound change, Tarkin is careful to test it out first on one or two pointless, meaningless topics with whomever he can find, before he begins to make his way through the Barge to interrupt key individuals before the flood has a chance to end.
