A Common Situation

Kay sat in her office, a cup of tea cradled in her hand as she read one of the mystery holonovels that she enjoyed so much on her downtime. This particular story involved a galaxy where there weren't many different types of sentients. But the struggles were the same as in this one. Yet a tiny species used humanoid hosts to take over. The plot was intricate and carried many twists and turns. It was difficult to know who to trust. Luckily betrayals in her life were very few and far between.

She looked up from her novel and looked to her new guard, [member="Katrina"] . The girl was young and fresh out of boot camp. It made her wonder why General Santiago transferred her. Perhaps it was because the man was a bit sexist, or maybe he didn't see what he was looking for in the aptitude or abilities of the young Private. Either way, Kay didn't want to be a snob towards her.

"Did you want any tea, Katrina? You don't need to stand on ceremony all the time, especially as it's just the two of us."

 

[Katrina]

Katrina had been standing at attention for quite sometime, her mind was filled with questions that had bothered her since being assigned to such a detail, originally she had thought it some politician that Commenor believed required aid but not once did the thought of it being the Queen, [member="Lady Kay"], herself even come into the young soldier's mind. As such, every small creak or noise that she couldn't see the source of that came into ear shot would send a shiver up her spine and a short burst of both adrenaline and anxiety throughout her body.

Though in spite of such, she was quite cool and collected, or it would seem from her bland expression, however that changed once the voice of her protectorate was acknowledged by her. Giving a polite nod, and an embarrassed nod, Katrina cleared her voice to speak. "I'm sorry, your majesty. This assignment is my first official one, and I'm not wishing to fail it, especially considering how- Important it is." the private's voice was mixed with some confidence, but also was clearly coming from someone trying to confort themselves with the situation they have been dealt.

A stumbling, seemingly intoxicated figure staggered down the hallway. The figure donned a Guard's uniform, a blaster at this figure's hip. The sleeves of their uniform ended abruptly, clearly too long for the person wearing it. It proceeded to bump into about every single person in the hallway. Quiet squeaks were heard from under the uniform, a rather suspicious sight. This figure, still unable to be identified as male or female, continued to roam the hallways. It was clearly searching for something. After several minutes of navigating, the figure managed to get to Lady Kay's office. It raised it's hand, giving a rather pathetic and weak knock to the door.

"Yub nu-....", a voice squeaked, only to be silenced by a quick and loud, "...Shhhhhhh!", something was clearly off about this figure and why voices were emitting from it's clothing, but it continued to pound on the door; not ceasing in the slightest. Eventually, it stopped, the figure taking a step back and nearly collapsing as it lost it's balance. A panicked, high pitched squeal was heard from the hallway, the figure now laying on it's back, struggling to move.

Kay nodded a little. This was [member="Katrina"] 's fist assignment. It was no wonder that she was so stiff. She sipped her tea and gave her a smile. "Well obviously you were chosen for this task for a reason. You're trusted and capable enough. And I must say that it's a nice change from the men that I usually get watching over me. I'm sure that you've probably heard some of the tales of me trying to give my guards the slip." But getting away from her guards usually led to bad situations, something that quite a few people delighted in reminding her.

Knocking at the door drew her attention. She wasn't expecting anyone and didn't recognize the knock. There were strange noises coming from the other side of it. Did someone fall over? "I think that you need to check that out..."
