Public Caught Somewhere in Time

[Kira Starwalker]

These nightmares never ended in her restless sleep. Tossing back and forth within the confines of the Stasis pod within the derelict vessel that slowly passed through space. Untouched for years even centuries perhaps. Within it's dark halls was only one known being. The being known as Kira Starwalker. That was all the being known. Knowing nothing of a past, where she came from. If she had a family for instance, yet what did haunt her was the memories of being captive. Captive to the members of the Sith Eternal. Hoping to impress the Master with their new prize that they had cherished. Within these nightmares, she often described it as never endlessly being within the dark. Constantly running from phantoms that would seek nothing more than to consume her.

If she had a lightsaber or the Force at her side she could have made quick work of them. In these nightmares, however, she was defenseless to the ghosts that plagued. Sometimes it got so bad she would often scream, and yet who would hear her. This has happened as she would only describe as years. She did not know, all the screams were nothing more than waste as no one would wake her from a sleep that haunted her so. Her own sanity eroding little by little as the dreams persisted. Then it happened upon if it was day or night. One night she stopped running from the demons. Thinking that she would soon meet her end. She let out a terrifying scream, in reality, the scream reverberated through the awesome power of the Force. Causing the ship's sensors to be startled, it wasn't before long that a distress signal was carried out. The homing beacon activated for the first time in centuries. Now actively transmitting coordinates to whoever was passing through.

It was then in that moment, in the dream Kira's demons slowly disappeared. As if the stand helped in making the torture end. Now she felt as if she was opening a door. A door to new possibilities and paths that only lied on the horizon. Yet where these paths would take here, where she would end up. Even she did not know. She knows only wandered forwards into the dark instead of running from it. As if it had called her offering something she needed, perhaps even wanted it she should so desire it.

Dread and curiosity all seemed to meld into this very moment. As new paths opened up. The relic of a ship floating through space sending out its location. It was unknown of what would come, who would come. Perhaps that in itself was the Force was to decide on what the next path and the new doors were.

 

[Subject 648 Slipknot]

Kira Starwalker

A transport ship jumped out of hyperspace, next to the old ship. At its controls was a droid pilot, and sitting in the copilot seat was Slip. He looked out of the cockpit, and saw the old ship, floating through space. He had been visiting his friend and fellow experiment, Subject 73 Red , when he received the distress beacon. So of course, they went to go rescue whoever sent out the beacon. The beacon transmitted these coordinates, so of course they came here.

Slip watched the ship float through space. He felt out through the Force. He could sense a life form aboard the ship, but... there was something wrong. The person was in pain, and it was strong. It felt... it felt familiar. The reason why it felt that way to Slip was because he felt that way, his mental disorders and illnesses made him hurt everyday of his existence. He knew how it felt, despite being so young. "Bring us in, I'll go in." He told the droid. The droid nodded and brought them in closer. They docked with the ship.

Slip stood up. He walked to the airlock, and put on an oxygen mask. He looked to his right, and saw one of his hallucinations, Shadow Man. "Well, well, look at you, going to go save someone like the hero you are, just don't go get yourself killed, hero." Shadow Man told him, mockingly.

Slip sighed. "Shut up, someone needs help, and I'm a Jedi, which means I need to help them. Just... stay back. Don't distract me." He told Shadow Man. Then, he opened the airlock doors. Inside, the derelict ship was dark and foreboding. He stepped inside, and started walking further into the ship.

He looked around. What had happened here? It seemed like it had been abandoned a long time ago, but the distress beacon had only recently activated. He felt out through the Force, and located the person on board. He walked down the hallways, towards them. Then, he reached a room filled with stasis pods. Slip felt out through the Force, and located the one that held the person inside.

Slip went to the controls, and dusted them off. They were fairly old, and he wondered if he would even be able to open it. Then, he hit a button, and the stasis pods started to open, waking up whomever was inside. Slip felt nervous, what if the person inside was actually bad? He should have brought Red with him, but now he was alone, having to deal with this himself, with no help.

Character | Agent 66
Location | Neutral Space [On board of the Enforcer]
Forces | Warhammer-Class Heavy Star Destroyer [x1] | Judgement Troopers
Objective | To Capture the Target [ Subject 648 Slipknot ]

In the Days following the Incident on Coruscant , Garm Ki-Sapan had a a bounty a placed on his head by the treacherous Zweihander Union compromising Marlon Sularen's plans for a Private War against them. In an attempt to diffuse the crisis , Garm had been contacted by the Zweihander to discuss on potential reconciliation on Carida in which was interrupted by a group of Bounty Hunters leading to Garm Ki-Sapan's disappearance and Agent 66 taking over Salient Interstellar. Still intending to cripple the Zweihander Union , Marlon Sularen had instructed Agent 66 in capturing the genetically enhanced super soldier known as Subject 73 "Red" as a means to get a sample of his genetics and locate the laboratories in which he was created in as a means to advance his own Supersoldier project.

Luckily for Agent 66 , Sularen's Politorate Agents had managed to track down Subject 73 and discovered a meeting between the target and a friend of his who also was another Subject. Rather then move forth to capture Subject 73 , Agent 66 opted to closely follow both Subjects. Now recently Subject 648 , Subject 73's friend had made a new appearance now in some unknown part of Neutral Space to respond to a distress signal that he had intercepted. It was then that Agent 66 decided to strike utilizing the Enforcer , Garm Ki-Sapan's Flagship to track him down.

However , Agent 66 would move carefully with the Enforcer jumping out of hyperspace far away from the old drifting ship in which the Distress signal came from and activating it's Cloaking Systems as a means to approach it undetected. Agent 66 would wait for the perfect opportunity to strike given at the importance of his target. His Judgement Troopers were on stand by within the Hangars of the Enforcer , ready to strike and the Gravity Well Projectors ready for activation. This time he would succeed and prove his worth to Marlon Sularen by delivering him a Supersoldier and accomplishing the first step in his new plan for Prominence at a Galactic Scale. They had been knocked down by betrayals twice. When they would rise up again for the third time they would emerge as a force to be reckoned with.
