Recap for Nyx's Death Plot

***Before Endor***
It was not like seeing a ghost. Nyx-Warda had seen ghosts before. She knew how to handle them. But when Dasha appeared on Dantooine, she was lost.

"No, I could not have risked my life to get to her" she said weakly to herself, as she rolled into a depression in the rocks, and carefully cradled her heavily pregnant form. "I had to run.. have to keep hiding.. and pray she and her men do not catch up."

With a small crystal in her hands, she hunches over, exhausted. It radiates a vibrant energy. It feels good. Refreshing, even- like a pitcher of cool, clear water in the middle of the jundland wastes.

It's difficult for Nyx to pace herself. There's only so much of that energy, and there's no telling how long it's going to have to last for. After years of abusing her powers, she can no longer draw energy from the balance of nature and the living force. When she expends her own energy, she has to steal more, and the more she steals, the harder it is to retain. Now, injured, and sustaining two, it's critical that her scource of power doesn't run out before she can find another.

A quick medatative second. An intent focus inward. One tiny life is doing fine. She weaves an extra layer of protection- a veil of light around the growing soul. It's the last purely light ability she can perform with the force. It's tiring. It will have to be her last and only exertion of extra energy until she can get home.

Footsteps approach. She can hear them heavy over the rocks, even though she can sense nothing but a blank neutrality in the force coming from their direction. Could it be Dasha's men? The void of a force presence that brutally attacked earlier? No.. a distorted voice began to speak- a fanatical tone with a distinct Tarisian accent. Enclave.

***Not much later, in a holding cell on Dantooine***

*Scientists notes* Subject appears to be resistant to biological experiments. Infections met with immune hostility not typical of the average twi'lek. Scientists making contact with the subject with bare hands experience weakness, fatigue, and intense pain at point of contact. ###[[!!FLAGGED!!]] Physical testing and experimentation halted due to extreme biological anomolies. Specialist requested.###

*More scientists' notes* Mental experimentation yeilds complex results. I.N.T.U.I.T. System functioning properly on other test subjects. Input scrambled? Request cryptoforce analyist.

***Months later***

In a dimly lit lab, glowing with computer screens, and crawling with Enclave scientists...
"You better have found some damn good intel.", a gruff Tarisian voice asserts to a team of scientists via comm.link, "We lost a lot of good men when that red-headed Corellian devil tore through our base to rescue this subject. Whatever she was hiding in her memories must have been important. "


***Memory sequence***

Cloudy images come through. Images of a young blonde girl in bright red armor, colored in impressions of waryness, worry, and finally, love. The subject must have feared this girl, but still, cared for her greatly. Then, another image. The same Corellian man, appearing quite close to the subject, and also watching over the girl. Until she's taken. Never to be seen again.... until the night of the subject's capture. The images of the woman clearly mean the same as the ones of the girl, but are mingled with much older memories of death and destruction. The display overloads, as the echoes overlap on eqch other, and the scientists soon cut power.


***Post Endor***

"She's looking for me, still. I've seen her spies. I know it's only a matter of time." Nyx-Warda thinks aloud, as she guides the vines surrounding the Alchemist's Workshop to grow throughout the building. They serve as a living defense, some spitting poison, some bearing thorns, all serving as conductors through which Nyx can channel and amplify her presence in the force. A presence that is weakening.

It hasn't been long since she unlocked the power of her former captor and long-time tormentor of her nightmares. Sain Karrd. A former Jedi... in this life, at least. In many more, he was an entity that had existed for thousands of years, gaining his immortality by possessing force sensitive beings and adding them to his own consciousness. Little by little, he crept into his victims' minds, and led them to slip into darkness until they were so like him, that they forfeited themselves to his will. His power was subtle and strong, and it allowed him to not just project the sense of his presence, but actually -be- in several places at once. Yet, still, as long as he would take a living form, only one body- one "successor" could possess the power to dominate other minds. If he didn't have that, he could have no dominant influence over living beings.

Nyx was to be his successor- his next life -but there was one thing he never did count on.. the strength of the people who loved her. He was driven out, and imprisoned in a crystal, locked away. Yet, still, the shadow of his influence remained. The power didn't come to her all at once. It started with insights into others' minds.. then influence.. then the ability to control the weak minded. Soon, the final key was discovered- the ability to be more than one place at once.

"Don't you think it's possible, Nyx-Warda, that this power is one of the reasons your days are numbered?" A calm, low voice from the entryway theorizes, with an upper-Coruscaunti accent that gives the words a certain hollow feel. "Perhaps a mortal being was not intended to.. cheat.. the natural order of things this way." It was Lawrence's voice. He stepped around the vines as he walked, knowing full well how she could feel their pain if they were damaged as she projected her spirit through them. "It's possible" Nyx conceded reluctantly, withdrawing from her work a bit in a pang of hesitation, "I know it's making me weaker.. It's getting harder and harder to pull myself back together.. but I would have been dead a long time ago if I'd never touched it at all." Lawrence grimaced "It's a curse. What good does it do?" "But it does do good" she protested "There's a facet of this power that Sain would never have dreamed of- a good, benevolent side. A side that gives, instead of steals."

The vines parted in front of her as she walked to Lawrence, and took his hand. A vain gesture- the same practical effect could have been achieved by simply twisting one of the vines around his ankle -but one of love, and understanding. "Watch," she pleaded, "and I'll show you what I mean." Lawrence reluctantly nodded, and gripped her hand cautiously. In an instant, extra senses flooded to his mind. The vines throughout the building, the various trinkets used to practice alchemy, and all the connections throughout lit up like neon lights. He passed his free hand through the air, feeling the tangible waves in the air, and understanding them as if he had known their meaning all his life. "These.. are -your- powers.." Lawrence observed, taken aback. "Not just mine," she answered, "Not any more. I can share them.

"...and when Dasha finds me here, maybe I can share the strength with her to break away from whatever is controlling her, and come back."


*A few days later*

The troopers were coming, but they were not Dasha's. The newly established Republic hasn't forgotten the treasonous agent "Firefly" from the not-too-long-ago civil war. Her less than graceful resignation was the cherry on top of a career marred with criminal activity. Now, they had a fresh lead. Vant, once a member of her squad in the alliance, later her prisoner, was free. When he found his way back to the alliance, he was forgiven of his own crimes in the line of duty, in exchange for information on Nyx-Warda's whereabouts. But Vant was more than just a squadmate- he was also one of Sain's victims, and while he was in Nyx's custody, he underwent painful experimentation as she attempted to free his and the others' minds. He was the only one that survived, and he remained marked with a connection to her.... one he could follow to lead the Rebels to her doorstep, and get his revenge for the pain she caused him.

*******

(((This is where the recap ended. After being taken into Republic custody to be tried for treason, Nyx-Warda was stolen from the facility in a raid by Enclave forces. They took the prisoner to Pantora..  where yet another faction was seeking to capture her. A much smaller, more benevolent band of soldiers.....)))

The Best Plan Ever..... (A flashback to GCW era RP)

Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): ^^Random RP^^
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Fernando Yvon, a young, green, Imperial recruit rises from his bunk, grinning a bit as he wraps himself in his training uniform.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He seems excited for the day, more so than usual. Today is the day he gets his first assignment. The Empire sent him to investigate the disappearance of swoopers outside Mos Eisley. The only lead he has to go on is a strange young twi'lek woman who lives in the cantina.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Grabbing his father's old DC-15, he suits up in his recruit armor, heading for the cantina.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): ((I assume this takes place in the GCW?))
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): ((Aye))
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): **Somewhere in teh cantina, a little twi'lek crawls out of a hole in a cantina seat. She flicks off the baby womprat that's been gnawing on her lek. Eeughww..  She's not excited to start the day.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *....it is DAY, isn't it? It's all a blur. e_e *
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *His excitement soon wears thin, after spending hours scanning the cantina for the girl who meets the description. He takes off his helmet, hanging it from his backpack as he sits to take a rest. Little does he realize, the seat he's closing in on, is the very seat Nyx has been sleeping in.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "What a first assignment. Cantina crawling for hours.."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Nyx pulls a sort of rucksack out of the seat, and leans in the corner.* "Yeah, I hated my first job, too."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): "*She ties back her lekku in a long pink ribbon, as she leans against the wall.**
Cheer up, bucket head. Buy you a drink?
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): No boozie on the jobbie. Cross my fingers
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Heart.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Whatever.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Shrug*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *The trooper jumps about ten feet, his helmet flying off as Nyx jumps out.* "You're her! Where the frell did you come from?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Under yer hindquarters, m'friend.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Shrug*
<Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08) has left the room>
<Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08) (Admin) has entered the room>
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): you come from?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Under yer hindquarters, m'friend.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Shrug*

No hard feelings. Not the first fellow who's sat on me sleepin' seat
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "I suppose I should tell you now, you're the one I'm looking for."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Groan*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Figure that's my luck.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She splashes herself with perfume, and struggles to openanother bottle*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): NnNNNGGGG
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Eh..  hey, buddy. You wouldn't mind opening this for me?
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She holds out the corked purple bottle in front of his face*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Wha... Is that spice? What is this?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): It's soap.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): I'm not a barbarian.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He takes a multi tool out of his belt, opening the cork for her.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): **POUF!  A drowsy puff of mist fizzes out of the bottle**
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He sniffs the mist, soon falling face-first on the table.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She looks over her shoulder, and quickly disarms the trooper. It won't be long before he wakes up. She takes a little something more for her troubles, and tucks his shit under her cloak before making tracks. Shit! Hope I can get out the door and on friendlier turf before he opens his eyes**
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She stops at the door*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She goes back, swipes a drink from behind the bar..  Ruby Bliel ...and sets it in front of him on the table. She sticks a post-it note on it. "Sorry. Fish gotta swim." she scrawls on the little piece of paper. THEN she books it.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He stays asleep for a while. He has a very low tolerance for any substance.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "'Ey Nyx, where you going?" *A familiar face, Zan, pulls up in his landspeeder somwehre outside the cantina.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): {Zan} "Nice gun. Where'd you dig that relic up?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Oh. Good. Rockets. *She jumps in his speeder without any explaination* Drive drive drive!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Without hesitation, Zan grins, hauling ass through Eisley. A small patrol of swoop troopers catch wind, and quickly follow. He proceeds to flee, crashing through a bazaar, and making his way outside town.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Damn, what did you do this time?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): It wasn';t that bad this time
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): I only drugged and robbed a stupidly honest noob trooper.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "At least I got a good speeder chase out of it. Mind covering our escape?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Nyx looks behind them to see if there's anyone following*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *There is a small squad of troopers on speederbikes following them.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan flips the speeder around, pointing back TOWARDS Eisley.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *The speeder levels out, heading straight towards the edge of a cliff. In the distance, a small formation of TIE fighters can be seen rising above the edge of the cliff, hovering in place, each one pointed at the speeder. The scout troopers close in behind.* "'Ey Nyx, what time would you say it is?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Half past a woolamander's Wagyx, a quarter to its *WWVVHHOOOSSSHHH  The TIE fighters' ion engins roar in the distance*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Tattooine noon, by the near sun
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Hope you're right about that." *He punches the accelerator, diverting power from the ship's subsystems to a full on charge straight forwards.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *The speeder charges off the end of the cliff, flying a good distance before landing on top of an ascending cargo freighter.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Holy kriff..  I think I'm flattered
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): TIE fighters, speederbikes, and everthing?
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *As the speeder touches down, he activates the drag, falling back into a compression vent as it seals for takeoff.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Well, some of them are mine."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "This speeder? It ain't mine."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *They make it inside just before the vents close, safely held in the cargo bay as the ship leaves the atmosphere, quickly making a jump to hyperspace.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Well. WHat a way to wake up in the morning
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "So, Nyx." *He cuts power to the engines, resting the speeder.* "What am I an accessory to now?"
<Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08) has left the room>
<Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08) (Admin) has entered the room>
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): I drugged and robbed a storm trooper who was dumb enough to take off his helmet and tell me he was looking for me
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Maybe he just wanted to ask some questions. You could have been in a good situation there."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She sits back, and looks through his crap. Oooh Rank-cylandar..* "FerrrrrNANdo" *She says with flourish, rolling her Rrs*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "The Empire does one of two things for information. They interrogate, and shovel tons of credits."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Looks like he's a private. New on the field."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "I bet you were his first."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): He said he was..
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): I kinda' feel bad for the noob. Seemed like he didn't entirely sell his soul yet.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Shrug* oh well.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): If teh empire doesn't kill him maybe I'll give him his crap back.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Some of his crap.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "That's a pretty nice weapon. It'll probably be worth a few creds on the bazaar."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Wonder where this ship is headed."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *shrug*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan takes out his short sword, slashing through one of the containers. Hundreds of pill bottles spill out.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Well, ain't that grand? We've landed aboard a med ship."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): we're NOT knockingg off a hospital.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): no.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): we have SOME limits.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Don't we?
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "I know spice dealers who would kill to be where we are right now."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He takes the bottle in his hand, reading it carefully.* "Oxicodone... I know this one!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Kind of odd they still use it. I guess it's an outer rim thing."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Dantari mercy flower!
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): They still sell this? I thought it was con..... tra..........  band....................
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Zan.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): ".....I think I know what they use it for."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "They use this stuff to make spice... This isn't a medicine freighter, it's a spice ship."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): In that case.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She kicks in the box, and stuffs her pockets with sweetblossom*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan slashes every box in sight open, taking inventory of what they have.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Looks like they have a little bit of everything here... Giggledust.. Pixie.. Crash.."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Even Yarrok and Gabaki."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Gabaki? Where?
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He offers her a HUGE bag of Gabaki. About the size of a small trash bag.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Nyx heaves it onto her back. Oof!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan shovels vials of Neutron Pixie into his speeder, along with bags of Gabaki and sweetblossem. He would occasionally sneak some yarrok root extract too.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Wait a minute.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): These people..  piloting this ship...  CAN'T be oblivious to our presense.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): .....and we don't know where we are.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "You're right, but what can they do about us? We've got a speeder to make our getaway once they open up the cargo hold, and they can't dump us in space without losing their product."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Kill us before they land.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): shrewmz
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "You're right, they could."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "If they could see us."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan slashes open a crate of Yarrok extract, pouring the thick oil into an empty barrel.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Okay, now bear with me here.. What generally happens when a speeder's turbine generator is run indoors?"
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He seals off the barrel, improvising some tubing from delivery units in the shipment. He would then attach the tubing to the intakes of his speeder.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): They burn up the air and you die.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He would place the barrel on top of his speeder, just behind the bubble top, duct taping it closed with packaging supplies.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Exactly."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He would then find a pressurized container of a gaseous spice, hooking it up to the local oxygen conduit to fill it up with air, releasing the spice into a different chamber of the ship.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "We're on a ship full of chemical warfare agents."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): .....Who haven't planned for this?
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): All I'm sayinbg is there have to be at least a FEW biosuits on board. This won't take out everyone...  that and we're in trouble if we knock out the pilots
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "I can fly a Z-95, how's that different from a spice freighter?"
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Just a few more engines, and bigger."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He would start scooping up sections of boxes, and stacking them over the speeder. He would leave a part by the door open for entry.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Well don't ask ME to fly it. I barely survived flight school for my Scyk
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "I heard they only passed you because you gave the flight instructor a heart attack, and they couldn't assume the liability anymore."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Probably exaggerated, but that's what they said."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He enters his speeder, leaving the door opened for Nyx.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "If we capture this baby, imagine how rich we'd be. Never mind the reputation it'll build up with Jabba when we sell it."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Well..  any chance to sweet talk that nasty old slug is a good opporunity, I won't lie
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *The speeder's bubble-top securely closes, sealoing itself air-tight.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "We're going to look back on this plan, years later, and wish we'd done it sooner."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): I have a bad feeling about this.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "This is a genius plan. It couldn't possibly go wrong."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Years later we'll look back on this, and you won't think it's such a stupid plan."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Maybe the fumes are gettin' to me, but somethin'; just don't seem right..
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): A littl eoff-kilter if ya know what I mean.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He starts up the engines. Not much later, the cargo bay doors fly open, and guards rush in, soon falling into a deep trip, and shortly unconscious.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): For example
<Voice chat now enabled (Highest quality)>
<Push-to-talk is enabled. Press "Tab" to activate your microphone>
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He books it through the ship's main hall, heading straight for the cockpit. It doesn't seem to be too big of a ship, about the size of a Y-8.
<Voice chat is now disconnected>
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Just ho wmuch oxygen is contained in this little shi----!?
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Enough to give us enough time to touch down."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *The speeder crashes through the door to the bridge, thuroughly disabling the speeder's systems. Shortly after, the ship's crew starts running around like mad, and passes out.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "See? I told you it would work." *Zan deactivates the engines, letting the ship rest for a moment.* "Fool proof plan."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): What's that flashing? *Nyx says, as she points to a warning light pn the dash
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Oh, that means the systems are down. The speeder's trashed. But that doesn't matter, we have a whole damn ship now!" *Zan opens up the bubble top, heading over towards the primary flight controls.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He sits in the pilot's seat, grabbing.... not the flight controls? He mimes steering, making speeder noises with his mouth.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): ...........
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Zan.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Yeah?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): That's the starmap joystick.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "hehe! You said joystick!"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Enter: The Fool.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Something doesn't seem right. He lies down on the floor, sticks his hands in his pants, gripping something and moving it around, maing "Vroom, Zoom" sounds.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Zan! WHat the fuck!? *Her voice is mufled by the oxymask over her face, but even through teh obscured mouthpiece she sounds irritated and confused. She ooks at the people on teh ground* Ohh..
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "It's cool, I've got this!" *He heads to the real flight controls, grasping at points in the air.* "One of these gotta be it!"
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Finally, he grabs hold of the correct flight stick, pointing the ship straight towards Lok.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Zan. Maybe I should fly.
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): I don't know if you've noticed, but you're kind of tripping balls.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Balls?"
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan freezes, seeming very paranoid. He slowly draws his sword.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Oh god.. They've finally done it.."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "THE BALLS HAVE REVOLTED!!!"
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He begins swinging his blade at invisable testicles.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Close enough.. *Nyx mumbles, as she heads to teh controls. .... CRAP! We're barreling toward Lok!*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Let's see..  Keren said THIS one was the flight stick...   and this one levels it out?*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): VROOOOWMM**
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Nooope. That's teh accelorator*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan rolls around on the ground, eventually meeting a wall, with his sword in his arms.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Oh.. Oh baby, we must have tripped over.."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "No.. Don't get up.."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He starts making out with the blunt side of his sword.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Nyx glances over, then looks at the camera* Now ythere's a man who likes his women looking....
*Waggles eyebrows*
......sharp.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *A floating skull groans. Of course, Only Zan can see it. He jumps to his feet, swinging his sword at it wildly.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "YOU CAN'T GROAN! YOU DON'T HAVE LUNGS!"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} Of course, you schmuck! Oy! Wuddahyah think I'm groaning about!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "True dat. Lemme buy you a beer when we land."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "For now, we have the revolution of the balls to worry about."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} Byeer? Whaddayah tryin' ta' do ta' me, uh? I don't have a tongue, you knucklehead.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Oh, right... Wait a minute, you're a SKULL!"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} No shit I'm a skull!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Wait.. Are you... MY SKULL?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} You're gonna' be a skull, too, if you keep lettin' your sister drive. She's gonna; run us into that ground! An' she's got teh blinkah on!
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Flick* {Skull} OY! NO! Not untill you put a ring on it, mister!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "You're right, skullman, but I'm too high to fly! How can I sober up in time to save our lives?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} Your skull..  the noirve of some guys..
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} You remembah you to use tha force. So use it. Uuuuse the fworce, Zan.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "The force.."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Skull} Uuuuuuse the fworrrcceee.........force...force...force.......
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He closes his eyes, slowly walking in towards the skull. His aura whips throughout the room chaotically, eventually settling, and calming, as his inner resonance begins to govern his body, over his physical brain. He drops to the floor, falling unconscious for a second, before slowly rising.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He sort of walks like a puppet towards Nyx, grabbing at the flight controls.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Nuh-uh. Not unless you can say the aurubesh backward
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She says, as she huddles over the controls. In doing so, she also brings them dangerously close to an asteroid. SCHHWWIIKKKKNNNKKK! That's gonna leave a mark.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He begins reciting the Aurebesh backwards, his lips shaking a little bit as he forces them to move, by a different mechanism than the mind.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): {Nyx} That works. Take the controls before I kill us both.
<Ship Computer> ****Entering Planetary Atmosphere. WArning. Acceleration exceeding safe lsub-light limits. Warning. Acceleration......
{Nyx} Too late.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan grabs the controls, doing his best to change the direction of the ship. He would level it out, jettisoning the cargo hold in the opposite direction shortly after. For some reason, he seems to be... accelerating?*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Wellp. The end is near. *Nyx straps herself in, and leans back. She pulls out one of the gabaki cigarettes* Hm. I'm gonna smoke one of these.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *He accelerates to incredible speeds, the momentum pulling them heavily towards the planet, but he keeps going, pointing straight forward. At these speeds, the planet's curvature becomes visable.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *She lights it up fast, and funnels it into her oxytube. <_< *
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): (and so it starts...)
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *It may be just the Gabaki, but the curvature of the planet starts doing straaange things. At this intense speed, it seems like they're perpetually going downhill, and even through the bridge's stabilizers, it feels almost as if they're rolling forwards. If Nyx knows her stuff, she'll recognize this looks something like an orbit.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): ***She coughs, and almost vomits in her rebreather. GAUGH not doing THAT again****
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Gradually, they start slowly raising in elevation, though it seems they're rolling downhill. The friction of the air resistance is slowly dissapating their deceleration, to the point where he can decrease the speed of the ship.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Eventually, the ship slows to safe speeds, skimming the surface of the planet, tumbling, and rolling into the side of a mountain. It's a rough landing, but nowhere near fatal.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): *Nyx looks up and blinks at the trippy planet shape/. Hm. Didn't think that little gabaki could get me high..  really??**
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): OOF..  off..  ooh-ooh...  OOWF!
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *As the hull of the ship is rattled, the cockpit windows break, and eventually the bridge is separated from the entire rest of the ship. The fumes would quickly dissapate in the air.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Best... Plan... Ever."
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan spills out of the seat, rolling on the floor towards Nyx.*
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): ((misread that "Massacre at the sith temple"))
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Nyx kinda slumps over, still strapped to the seat. Nite nite....
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): her mask falls off*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *Zan grabs her gabaki, smoking it until he eventually passes out as well.*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Hey, Nyx?" *Modern-day Zan says, shining up the buffed mark left on his prototype armor*
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): "Remember the time we tried to steal that spice freighter?"
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Heh..  yeah.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): ".......That was the stupidest plan ever."
Ninja AFK (ninja0afk): Agreed.
Ragnar (Formerly Garlic) (80phantom08): *All these years later.....*

THE TIMELINE - as ganked from Ragnar's post on facebook last year

Posting a quick timeline to clear up the order of events in Zan's recent life.

(Just around Hoth.) Zan had just made contact with his sister, Nyx-warda. This is when some EMU RP will take place, due to the standard being set to that time.

(During battle of Endor.) Zan marries Ek'fe, and settles down with her, faking his death just after. The Alliance wins the war.

(Just after the battle of Endor.) Zan gets re-employed into duty by the alliance, in a hope to clear his name, and the names of allies. Ending yet to be determined.

(A week or so after Nyx dies.) Zan deploys himself to one quick operation, to eliminate Lance Chiral, an imperial general who believes he is still alive. The story I'll be posting here takes place during this time.

(A month or two after Zan's story starts.) Zan finally returns home after meeting flaws in his plan. Lance Chiral is still alive. This is where most RP will take place on Emu, post-endor for all who are interested.

It's Alive!!

Test post!

This is a work in progress....
