"Whitestar, travel to madness"

Short summary:

*Short story to follow on Misty and Kaljika, nothing yet planned for Kinjazor*

by **Kinjazor** Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:59 pm

I had planned to write a small story of being onboard the whitestar.... plans went awry slightly lol.
***I've made some assumptions about the mission so far, please feel free to edit / delete huge swathes if needed to fit the overall story, I can always rewrite to accomodate***

Misty was on full alert as the team made its way towards the Starforge crash site, they had been dropped 5 kilometres from the site to hide their approach from any potential defences that might be in the vicinity although they expected little if any life to be near the place. She was in charge of a small scouting team, staying roughly half a click ahead of the main force with others screening the approach to either side and thankful to be away from the already bickering Sith.

As they topped a quarry it came into view, a huge mass of twisted metal punctuated with occasional chunks of marble and concrete, presumably from the destroyed buildings and hangar that should have stood in it's place. Signalling to those behind her to fan out around the site she sent a runner back to Captain Hanova the head of security who was back with the main expedition force, informing them of the situation. Ten minutes later the scout teams had the place surrounded, it was huge, larger than expected at almost two kilometres square. No movement or signs of life had been seen although she was still wary of automated defences; that seemed highly unlikely considering the scene of destruction before her. She could see the main expedition starting to enter the quarry behind her, a few hundred meters away.

After briefing her Captain and the imposing and demanding Sith of the situation, Captain Hanova started to give the order for the scout teams to move in only to be interrupted by an impatient Sith lord informing him the place was dead and ordering the site investigation to begin. Misty looked into her Captains eyes seeing the pent up but unspoken frustration evident, “And so it begins” she thought silently to herself.

The command area had been set up in the basin of the quarry, with a natural defence perimeter established around the edges, it was not exactly ideal but it was the best option available giving the amount of people and equipment it needed to contain. It was barely finished as night fell on the first day and the rain started falling. Nothing disturbed their sleep that first night but tensions were already starting to run high the next morning, not surprising as the quarry started to turn into a muddy field and the cold started to seep into their bones. The Sith had seemed to be arguing more than usual, but it was hard to tell with Sith; they were forever plotting and killing each other at the best of times, best just to keep clear of them and not make eye contact she thought.

That afternoon the first fatality was reported, a young trooper she didn't know had been crushed by a falling slab while trying to get into a large building, rumour had it one of the Sith had dropped it on him in his impatience to get inside, no one voiced this though in the official report.

Misty had pulled the graveyard shift for her watch, she tried to get some sleep in the early evening but the rain kept up and the steady patter on her tent roof kept her from getting any real rest. The rain continued into her watch. It was all quiet until 3am when frayed tempers finally snapped and 2 guards started stared fighting, it took 5 of them to pull them apart before weapons were pulled, luckily the injuries were light and could be dealt with without the need for the medics, if her superiors were to find out about this there would be hell to pay, they were already looking to make an example of someone even though things had went relatively smoothly so far.

By the second day a steady stream of small items were arriving for identification and tagging, one young Zabrak was apparently delighted by some of the finds, eagerly pulling things from the small anti-grav carts, occasionally exclaiming loudly about this or that.

Thanks everyone that are participating to this. Our background is getting build, step by step. Do not hesitate to include other players character in your story. For example, Kinja, you could - if you like - include Cha'Kra.
I don't know where the Starforge is standing by the way (that's why my story only happen inside the ship). Is it a building on a planet? Or is it like a flying station?

Here is my story. I've included - but not too much- Cheza. Tell me if anything doesn't fit your character. Hope you will enjoy it!

Do not hesitate to write also your story. It doesn't need to happen during the fight. There is many other moment of the story to tell. Smile

From Elloa's eyes : love story

That morning I felt something was wrong. Deep inside me, I had this feeling of doom, invading me at every pulse of my heart, making me sweat nervously like I was sendt to my own trial. I could not explain it to myself, each cell of my body was trembling, yelling to me that something terrible would happen. Today everything is making sense obviously, but at that moment, as I was regaining my post at the surgery block, I though simply that I could not handel stress anymore.

My fonction in the mission was relatively simple. I was the direct assistant of the great Dr Az'nem, a position that I obtained because of the efforts of my boyfriend.
Chidan is- he was- a kind of genius of his kind, a wonder of human nature, a specialist in cyber technologies, in particuliar mysterious antiquities. His abilities to decypher any kind of computer deserved him to be engaged in a very special and very important expedition sendt in the Outter Space, to investigate about some Ratakan legend. As I was tired of my utterely boring job (prove reading medic droid annalyses is extremly exiting, isn't it?), he offered me to convince his employer, the Empire Intelligence, to engage me in the expedition's medical crew. His charisma made the trick, I suppose, as I get contacted few days later to be part of the mission. I even didn't had to pass an interview.
I was really happy. Not only I would have a passionating job, a welcome change of scene, but also, i'd have to spendt several months with my beloved instead of risking to lose him in a Black Hole, a Republic squirmish, or worst, in the arms of a seducive engineer. Unfortunately, a shadow was spoiling my happiness. Dr Az'nem crew was composed of me, himself and two nurses. One of the nurses, obviously, had to be Chidan ex girlfriend, Mia Loo'Na, a Twi'Lek that I'd gladly have teach how to dance with my own riffle. I guess that my beloved used the same trick to get her hired than he used for me, cause I can not believe anyone right in his mind would confide his health in Mia's hand.

That morning, everything seemt normal, if our situation could have ever be called normal. After all, we had invested a marvel of technology, a remain of an indomitable fleet that was belived disepeared. We were in the Whitestar, a Starforge ship! This can not possibly be called a normal situation.
Anyway...while I was doing a simple sirurgy on a technician that had reduced his hand in pieces, I felt myself sinking in a renewed wave of anguish, and I suffered unbelievable difficulties to stay focused. In addition, I toke each movement of hips of Mia as a personal insult. I could not resist to bark her some orders in the most agressive way possible, and comment negatively anything she could do.

It's then that they arrived.

When I saw the two soldiers covered in blood carrying their dying collegue, my heart stopped to beat a moment. I felt it coming : the doom that was scarring me since the morning. It was coming. I reacted mechanicly, my mind lost in a kind of fog. I didn't heard their explanations. The poor guy's injuries were so severe that I was almost giving up at first sight. But I did my job, as a medic. I tried to save his life.

- "A fight happened", said Miss Nefri, the other nurse, bringing me back to reality " Something serious.You will have to be courageous. "

Her tone let no dubt. She was scared. And then I realised her warning. I looked arround me. Several other victims had been carried in the block while I was uselessly buzy with my dying soldier. We even didn't had enough beds for all of them. Among the victims, was Chidan, half his face ravaged by black burns. My lazer scalpel slipped out of my hands and hit the ground in a metalic noise. I felt my body drained of all its remaining energy.
My memories from that point are a bit confused. My emotions overflowded me. I remember to have cried, to have yelled, to have push away Mia with a unknown violence. I remember Miss Nefri, trying to calm me with a strong resolution. I remember her words resonating far away in my head

-"Recover yourself. Do your job! We have no time to lose.We need you."

She injected me a tranquilizer. My mind felt refreshed. My emotions were caged somewhere inside me. Like a furious beast, that was growling, ready to put in piece anyone if freed.

-"Dr Az'nem is gone already. Many victims have not been transported here. You need to join him immediatly on the bridge". Ordered me the Twi'Lek while staying above my beloved, cleaning his wound with tenderness.

Somehow, I just wanted to knock her face, eject everyone from the block, and stay alone with my love, in peace, crying over his ruined face. But I could not do anything than mumble a small protest, and obeying, leaving the place with a last look behind me.

I could not tell what I saw on the bridge. I've been unable to stay long enough to save anyone. It was a vision of nightmare. What happened there were beyond my understanding. It was a war raging inside the ship, with explosions, gunshots, and lightning everywhere. I felt sick immediatly. I've recieved a medic training after my studies at the Academy. I've been on the field. I've seen things. But this was different. I had the feeling to be plunged in my deepest and my worst nightmare. I could barely think about my acts. I was running, trying to cover myself from the fire, from one dead body to another. I never found Dr Az'nem. I never found him alife. And there were no one to save. Only myself. I didn't wanted to die. All I was thinking was about my beloved, alone, in the hands of this harpy. And she...she would try to steal him from me. She had lied. She had drugged me. She had sent me away to my death, to replace me. She had been plotting all along to take my place. And maybe ...this though terrified me...maybe he helped her. Maybe he wanted it aswell. Maybe they had been plotting my death. This travel, this mission, everything, it was only a trap, to get rid of me.

The cage went unlocked. The beast jumped free, and toke the control of myself. I ran back to the block as fast as I could. I don't know what I did. I think I grab a blaster on the way, and I shooted to anyone blocking my way. Not sure if I killed anyone though. All is lost in a fog of confusion. They had locked the door of the block. It drove me mad. I yelled. I screamt to make them open. But no one moved. They wanted me dead. It was the obvious prove.
I tried to recover my mind, enough atleast to slice the security computer controling the opening of the doors. And I managed to enter. It was calm and quiet in this place. The contrast was too strong : the white walls, the strong smell of medical components, the steril environement. I pushed away Miss Nefri who fall on her back and I run to my beloved. He was awake. I saw him. And he was smilling to her. I knew it! They had plotted against me! They had tried to kill me. All of this was only a terrible sheme, a theatre play where they were the heroes and I were the vilain that die in the end!
No! I refused that role. I could not bare it! I would not let them succeed. I toke my blaster, and I killed Mia with a single shot in the middle of the eyes. She fall on the ground like a dismembred doll. I walked to Chidan. I looked him in the eyes. His beautiful blue eyes. It broke my heart even more when I remembered all sweet moments we had spent together. I shooted him aswell, in the chest. He didn't die immediatly. He suffocated. Spiled blood. Watched me with his terrified and marvelous blue eyes. And I cried. I could not stop. I could not bare myself. I could not stand what I had just done. This was madness. I hated me with all my heart!

I toke the blaster, and I put it on my temple, ready to shoot. I closed my eyes. I pressed the trigger. It was all I deserved after all. I should have died on the bridge, in the middle of the fire and the Sith hatred. The only fate that I deserved. Beeing burned to death...
I heard the noise of the lazer but I wasn't dead. Chidan had grasped my arm just in time, and the shoot broke a lamp. Glass rained over us. It was his last gesture before to go. For ever.
