Private Two Pounds Shy of a Bomb

[Resh]

Vonnuvi Enclave
Inanna Harth​

Resh sat in an empty chamber, sunken and defeated. He lost control at Lazerian IV. All the work he had done to try and make himself trustworthy. To build up a reputation that would prove he was allowed to be here. He believed it was all thrown away in one moment. He dreaded what might happen, and he dreaded himself. Would he be banished? Imprisoned? He had no idea what to expect. He only knew that he had failed.

Would he become the villain he was prophesied to be after all? Was his fate inescapable? Perhaps it would be best if he were locked away somewhere.

For now, he knew not what to do. Other than wait for his master's arrival, and no doubt his impending judgement.

 

[Inanna Harth]

"He blew up?" Inanna asked incredulously, hurrying her pace just a little.

"I dunno how else to describe it," answered the Padawan, her speech warped around the wad of gum in her mouth. The purple-haired giant of a girl had been following Inanna around from the moment she left Gillom's office, having just been debriefed about what happened on Lazerian IV. "It vaporized all the enemy soldiers. I had already destroyed their tank, but the infantrymen were still shooting. One of the bolts hit him and then he exploded."

"How?" Was she going to find her apprentice in chunks? "How is he still alive if he exploded?"

"He exploded with the Force," the Padawan clarified. "He blasted energy all over the place."

"Oh." Inanna probably should've figured that out on her own. As she reached the door to the medbay, the Padawan started to follow her inside. "What are you doing?"

"I wanna see him. He's my friend."

First I've heard of you, Inanna thought. Still, it was good that he was making friends. "Well, that's very nice. But Resh may not even be conscious." He had passed out after he exploded and was brought to the Vonnuvi's medbay for treatment. "Besides, don't you have classes to attend?"

It was a guess that paid off. Eloise glanced at her chrono and swore under her breath. "Tell him I'll come back later," she said, her footsteps hurrying down the hall.

Inanna entered the medbay, finding it almost empty. Resh was sitting in a chair with his head down. "Hello Padawan," she greeted him gently. "How are you feeling?"
