8 hours after Mandalorian blockade of Umbara
The Nebula was once again calm, with only the brightest of stars disturbing the canvas of color. The Mandalorians and Silver Jedi had long since left the system, with even the Alliance In Exile forces eventually withdrawing. Now, an eerie silence resided over the former battlefield, now empty, as the void of space consumed everything else.
However, apon closer inspection, there was something else.
A huge pile of wreckage and debris floated stagnantly near the south edge of the nebula. Metal and glass were given wicked points, occasionally slicing through any bit of scrap that floated by. An entire intact turbolaser floated through the wreckage, its crew long evacuated. Corpses of the unlucky filled the gaps between the debris, seemingly of different factions of origin. But among the corpses, a singular life form could be found.
Rick Kaloo had been unconscious for hours, and would likely stay so for hours more. He wore an armored suit that insulated him from space and provided a sustainable source of air. However, the suit had not protected him from the sharpened metal fragments. One had pierced clean through the left part of his leggings, penetrating his leg to the bone and allowing outside space to flow in, freezing Rick's leg over. Another fragment, nearly three feet long, had gone under a centimeter from severing Rick's right leg entirely. Like Rick's left leg, Rick's right leg was quickly frosted over. Combined with severe bleeding, both of his legs had been rendered useless, most likely permanently.
It could also be observed that Rick was giving off a Force signature, one that was not there in the beginning of the battle. How that had happened would remain a mystery until Rick had been recovered and treated.
OOC: This thread takes place immediately after the ME skirmish, and is in the Nebula itself. The main focus of the thread is making sure Rick is picked up so he can continue his story as a Jedi.
Edit: While obtaining Rick is a priority, another purpose of this thread would be recovering any crew from vessels destroyed in the battle, civilian or military.
