Private Best Laid Plans

[Daelil Morr]

The small shuttle exited hyperspace at the edge of the Kriselist system, coming to a full stop as Daelil reached forward to shutdown the main engines to give them time to recharge. He had to snap his hand back as a series of sparks erupted across the console in front of him, and the lights of the shuttle began to flicker as he let out a muted curse. Reaching forward, he grimaced against the pain of the sparks as he deactivated main power to the console, in effect killing any potential of him being able to pilot the ship till he brought it back online. Leaning back in the pilots seat, Daelil let out a small little laugh as he pushed himself to his feet. "Last time I ever build a ship myself..."

At the time, building a shuttle of his own seemed like the best idea for his plans. He had been rescued from his servitude at the Fondor shipyards by Jedi several months ago, and had even become a pupil to one of the orders. His training had only just begun to be entirely honest, and he had far to go before he could truly call himself even a minor Jedi. Still, when he had begun to hear reports of the Jedi resistance and the plight of the rebels facing the Eternal Empire, Daelil had been moved to action. He had been forbidden to travel with an official shuttle to the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, to limit any potential of sparking a confrontation. To get around that rather simple restriction, Daelil had built his own shuttle. It was not the best in the galaxy, but it had gotten him this far.

He had used the Corellian Trade Spine to move through the Core and Colonies region, making only quick stops to refuel and gather supplies for his journey. Now, he intended to turn and use the Sanctuary Pipeline to head towards Eternal Empire space, and hopefully find these rebels. He did not know what he would do when he actually did, he had not actually gotten that far in his planning. He was certain the Force would let him know when he got there. But, before that, he had to get the shuttle working again. Opening a small hatch on the side of the shuttles cargo bay, Daelil began to inspect the internal circuity of the craft, trying to track down the most recent malfunction.

Ingrid and Ben were aboard a smaller corvette, not so far from the border of the Eternal Empire. They took part in a military exercise outside the Empire that they had to supervise. Exactly to Ben, because Ingrid had also started training the young man in the EE’s military as well. Every Eternal Imperial person had to serve in the army for at least two years, not to mention that it also had to participate in basic military training. And Ben was no exception, so she included it in her student's education.

The task was to view the military exercise in space and it had to be analyzed and reported by the young man. What manoeuvres he saw, what strategies, what they could be used against. Or just what they are weak against and what strategy they would take to prevent the disadvantages from prevailing in a battle. She knew it wasn’t exactly the easiest task, but as she had told her student before, she wouldn’t let him skip any lessons.

They were on the corvette bridge at the moment, the other ships of the Eternal Empire had already entered hyperspace, now they would have been in line when the sensors signalled a ship that had now crashed out of hyperspace and was not really functional based on the sensors. It had no insignia either, and no one was nearby except Jötunheimr, if they leave now, the person or persons on board will die before anyone gets here. This wouldn't have really bothered Ingrid, but the Empire didn't need a bad reputation. Besides, Ben had to practice.

”In this case you will be the commander, those on the ship shall obey all your orders relating to that ship. It comes in handy to practice such tasks anyway, especially in a real situation.”

Ben anticipated this day, as he knew that he was going to be tested. Also, this time he could watch a space battle, even if it was just a practice, but reading about something, and actually seeing it being done is two different things. Yet, he was neither inpatient nor annoyed, when they had to stop because of the cargo ship.

He nodded, as he was instructed, and took a position on the bridge where he could see everything perfectly clear, and he could be heard by everyone. He didn’t take his time, as he already knew what he wanted to do.

“Scan the ship for life signs, and also scan if there are any droids on board. If you find anything, send them a message, that we are closing on them, and they shouldn’t try to resist. “ The young man gave the order, and he didn’t add that any resistance would mean certain destruction, since their ship is more than capable of doing that. This should be clear for anyone stationed on that vessel.
“Also, prepare to board the ship, send an armed group. They should move with caution, and give them hand scanners, while grouping anyone on the ship they should scan for others hiding. Make sure nothing escapes their attention, but for now, they should only care about the crew, any contraband should be searched for after they are on board on this ship. If we find no life signs, they can start searching for such things, and they should also read the ship's diary in this case, so we can find out what happened.“ He added, as he waited for his message to be received on the other ship.
