“Rebel Scum” Snarled the imperial remnant captain slapped Taav across the face. Beads of sweat rolled down Taav’s face as he struggled against the restraints that held his strong arms behind his back.
“Where is your base!” thundered the imperial officer. Taav flexed his wrist and gave the finger, even though the imperial officer could not see the rude gesture. “I said where’s your base; rebel filth!” Taav looked straight into the officer’s aging eyes, saying the words he was trained to say. “Sharroock, Taav, Captain, 668024.” The imperial officer frowned. All these prisoners were very strong-willed. Their conditioning to resist interrogation was unmatched. “I see I’m wasting my time with questioning you.” The imperial officer turned to exit the holding cell; he nodded to the armor clad stormtrooper, which stood on just outside the cell. The cell’s force field was lowered. “Wait” the prisoner called. Imperial officer stopped, and turned around. “I tell the location of my base, but you’ll have to come close.” The imperial officer walked back toward the prisoner. “Yes?” asked the officer. “Come close” the prisoner beheckened. The officer walked up to prisoner. He could see that this soldier was no “green horn” (a marine recruit that has not seen combat.) his face was laced with a patchwork of scars. One such scar ran from the prisoner’s chin on the left of his face to his cheek bone. “Where is your base” The imperial officer asked again. The prisoner smiled. “If I wanted to I could kill you right now.” The imperial officer laughed. “That is unlikely.” The restraints holding the prisoner snapped… The bitter cold wind of Hoth blew with hurricane force outside Echo Base. Inside the remains of the former rebel alliance base things were becoming more tolerable every day. The last of the imperial troops had been killed, captured, or were MIA (Missing In Action.) Lance Corporal Mason Reinhart was crouched in the hanger bay, cleaning his assault rifle. He was a G.S.S. (Galactic Star Systems) marine scout, who had been sent ahead of the main fleet to spy on the imperials that had occupied Echo Base for quite some time. Those imperials defending this base, fought like cowards. Reinhart thought. Two platoons of marines defeating an entire garrison. Reinhart had to admit the imperials defending this base had become complacent. They showed a complete lack of training, fighting ability, and a will to fight. Reinhart doubted that even at its pinnacle this “empire” would not have lasted two weeks if it invaded the Milky Way galaxy as a whole, or G.S.S. and/or Dark Star space. “Lance Corporal Reinhart” A New Republic officer called from behind the young marine. “Sir” Reinhart said standing. The Twi’lek officer came to stand at Reinhart’s left. “There has been scuttlebutt (marine word for rumors) that a remnant battle group orbiting Korriban has been engaged by a fleet of unknown origin, and the remnant has lost many of their ships to seizure by this much smaller force.” Reinhart smiled. Ooh raw Reinhart thought to himself. Rachael Carlson Sharroock marched into the grand audience chamber. She was followed by her squadmates; they all were wearing brown Jedi robes. This was to make them invisible in a way to Dark Star agents. “Tell me Rachael, my friend” Tenel Ka asked glancing at the other Jedi trainees gathered in the audience chamber, with her granite gray eyes. “Tell me of your homeworld, does your mate reside their as well, is he a native of your world?” Rachael gave a curt nod. “Yes, Taav is Martian as I am.” Rachael continued walking as she spoke. “Mars is like Coruscant, only it has shallow seas, forests, and two mountain ranges left untouched by urbanization. There are no factories, other then C20 factories on Mars, which are deep underground. All manufacturing is taken care of in orbit, leaving the surface to be covered by on two districts: residential and entertainment/business district.” _______________ Lucas Ammons This post was edited by Luke on Nov 20 2006 08:49pm. |
