Aftermath

[CC-420 "Doc"]

Doc had been recovering from his injuries from the latest battle with the Sith Remnants in a CIS Naval Hospital when he'd received the holonet call. He could hardly believe his ears. Many of his fellow Dreads and nearly all OSTs had left the Confederate Military for what seemed to be forever. While Doc wasn't the most social of his brothers and sisters, he wondered how things could've deteriorated so quickly without him finding out about it. It probably had to do with the fact that he'd been laid up for the past few months over a resulting injury from a thermal detonator.

The force dead clone exited the hospital with his ALICE pack placed on his back and a newly made robotic leg. The bright Bothawui sun felt hot on the guard's leather jacket and boots as he stepped into the busy streets.

All his life he'd had a purpose. Now the medic seemed at a loss. What the hell was he to do now? Abandon like his fellows? Try to resume his duties?

Doc just didn't know.

The clone walked to a diner across the road from the hospital and ordered himself a meal and a beer. The only thing he could think to do at the moment.

 

[Kerri Aislinn]

Young Elvira had just walked into a random diner hoping to get a bite to eat. After getting some food and a cup of coffee, she blindly walked over to a random seat and sat down. Elvira looked across two tables to see a man... with a robotic leg!

She could only stare for several moments, but then reminded herself better. She turned to face the window, picked up her coffee cup, and took a deep sip out of it. She was still curious about that man...

[Kahlil Noble]

Kage moved his way into the bar, stretching out. In truth he had heard about @[member="CC-420 Doc"]'s recent release, and he had every intention on finding his brother and letting him know he's not alone. And maybe getting his help. He looked around for only a moment. After all, when you're looking for yourself it's not hard to find. He looked right at Doc and instantly moved over beside him, clasping him on the shoulder.

"It's good to see you up and about again!"

 

[CC-420 "Doc"]

Doc felt that uncomfortable twang he got when someone was eyeing him. He glanced from where he was watching out the window to the left and temporarily locked eyes with @[member="Elvira Congelo"]. Well. An attractive young women. Certainly not the worst person he'd ever had watch him. The thought of his Drill Instructors made him cringe slightly. He'd just opened his beer when @[member="Kage CC-743"] arrived at his table.

"Thanks brother. It's been a while." Doc replied with a smile. It truly had been months since he'd seen his comrade in arms, probably the best damn pilot he knew.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

Kage waves a hand, ordering a beer himself. The clone was oblivious to anyone eyeing @[member="CC-420 Doc"], but it didn't stop him from commenting on other things.

"I take it you heard about the mass leaving right?" He spoke rather calmly about the situation. In truth he stayed behind for his own reasons, but none he was willing to share yet. He got his beer and gave the waiter a wink before opening it. It was nice to have a conversation with a brother again, especially Doc. Dread guards finest doctor, now with some cybertech included. Though, Kage wouldn't be making any jokes about the leg.

 

[CC-420 "Doc"]

"Yeah. The insanity going about now a days." Doc replied to @[member="Kage CC-743"] before taking a sip of his beer.

It was like he'd woken up in a bad dream. Many of his fellow brothers and sisters had left the Confederacy for a variety of fairly valid reasons. Betrayal of alliances, Isley's ignoring of certain issues, and a desire for freedom seemed to have been the driving forces. Doc wasn't entirely sure how to feel about it. As it seemed his kind had largely abandoned the culture that'd spawned them.

 

[Iram Arkada]

Rianna walked into the diner, ordering a cup of coffee. The room was full of people and there were no open tables. Seeing @[member="Elvira Congelo"] alone at a table, she walked over to her. "Mind if I sit here?" A few tables over, she saw a man with a robotic leg. She couldn't help but stare at it, then looked up and locked eyes with the man. She blushed a bit, turning her crimson skin more red, and turned away.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

Kage shrugged at @[member="CC-420 Doc"]. Insanity or not, their brothers and sisters were free to make their own choices. He took another swig from his beer, catching the look from @[member="Rianna Rha"]. He grinned, nudging Doc gently.

"You got some admirers brother. Why don't you go say hi?"

 

[Vaas]

The CIS creators of the dread guard, Vong doing the work for lesser creatures. It was all so sickening. But they had their uses, and there were things that were needed if assimilation were to be a success upon all parts of the board. In the ally in the diner, seeing one of the employees come in for work Vaas quickly snagged her and pulled her into the ally. "Chica, I'm not going to hurt you. Here's two hundred credits. You are taking a sick day." Giving the woman a smile he held his hand over her mouth as she nodded. "Yes, thank you." she said as he gave her the money he watched as the woman drove away from the dinner. No one was getting hurt, but this was a chance to study the dread guard up close just to see what they were like.

Changing his form Vaas turned into the cute waitress that was to start her shift. Walking into the back from the ally Vaas snagged an extra uniform then placed it on himself. The disguise was set and it was all so seamless. He even had the voice down to a T. Walking into the bar Vaas looked around and began to man the counter and take orders from the various patrons at the bar. Watching and studying. @[member="CC-420 Doc"] @[member="Kage CC-743"] @[member="Rianna Rha"]

 

[CC-420 "Doc"]

Doc chuckled at his brother's observation. It was true, though Doc didn't understand it. Seemed as though wherever he went there was some warrior type woman trying to hit on him and his Jango esq. features. Well, it had been a long time. Texam last if he remembered correctly.

"Well, why not?" Doc grinned at Kest before moving to sit across from the females.

"Come on' with me brother, let's be sociable." Doc said with a small smile as he motioned for his brother to follow him. The clone took his beer with him and took a seat across from @[member="Rianna Rha"] and @[member="Elvira Congelo"]. He left room for @[member="Kage CC-743"].

"Hi, I'm Doc, either of you want a drink? CIS?" He asked the two as he sat.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

Krest took a swig from his bottle, plopping down beside @[member="CC-420 Doc"]. He really had no interest in the woman, simply here to give the Doc some back up. He offered a friendly wave to @[member="Rianna Rha"] and @Elvira Congelo though. No reason to be rude.

 

[Kerri Aislinn]

Elvira pretty much ignored everybody else, even @[member="Rianna Rha"] , and was just sipping on her coffee. She briefly locked eyes with @[member="Kage CC-743"] , but then he and the man with the mechanical leg walked over to the two girls. Elvira sighed as they walked over, but she set her coffee down and put on a smile, still not saying a word.

@[member="CC-420 Doc"]

 

[Iram Arkada]

Rianna shrugged and sat down when the girl didn't answer. Then the two clones walked over and she sipped her coffee. "I can buy my own drinks, but thanks." She replied, smiling.

@[member="Rianna Rha"] @[member="Elvira Congelo"] @[member="Kage CC-743"]

"Good to know, means you have a job." Doc replied with a bit of a grin. He noted the other one's silence. She seemed like she was almost as antisocial as he'd used to be. It was something he'd grown out of.

 

[Iram Arkada]

"Yeah a job.. or something like that" Rianna said, smiling a bit. But she didn't mention that she was a bounty hunter. Some things are better left unsaid. "And I'm Rianna." Studying the man, she continued to sip her coffee. "So what's the story with that?" she asked, pointing to the man's leg.

[CC-420 "Doc"]

@[member="Rianna Rha"]

"Damn thermal detonator. They had to amputate.. Nice to meet you. What exactly do you do, if you don't mind me asking?" Doc asked while eyeing his counterpart. She wore weapons and Blasters that weren't normally carried by most, not to mention the unusual skin tone and that air she carried. A predator.

 

[D'onnburr Fanlak]

D'onnburr was bushed from another transport, and so was his ship. The Hyperdrives computer nearly glitched sending them a little too close to an asteroid field. The Starshan was hurt bad, so he decided to stop at the local bar while it was in for repairs.

His head fell face-first at the bar, his hand signaling for a drink, while his other hand tried to conceal his lightsaber.

 

[Iram Arkada]

"Oh I see. I well.. I uh.. I do all sorts of stuff. Mostly hunting people down for money, but I like to call it bounty hunting." Rianna gave a slight smile and looked down at her coffee again.

[CC-420 "Doc"]

@[member="Rianna Rha"]

"Ah. My job's to make sure people like that don't die, and hunt a few people down myself. The only reason we get different labels in because I work for a government." Doc replied with a grin.

 

[Iram Arkada]

"Ah, so we're basically in the same line of work." She commented, smiling. She looked over at the girl beside her. "Are you okay? You haven't said a word." She nudged the girl a bit and finished her coffee. Looking up at the other clone, she asked "So what''s your story?"
