Cantina Six: Postlude to Holocaust Part II


Redwing

Recommended Posts

Heimdall: Thank you. Truth be told, we already could get into any imperial or republic system.

 

Well, at least she could.

 

*Heimdall nods to a woman wearing an NRI uniform, who now stood behind Hal.*

 

Heimdall: This is Svafa, one of our agents.

 

Svafa: Hello.

 

*Svafa passes Hal and takes the copilots seat*

 

Svafa: I've located the last two.

 

Heimdall: Good. You'll be the primary pilot. I'm to drained to do this.

 

*Svafa gives Heimdall and worried look. She gives him a small gesture to ask if he is alright.

 

Heimdall responds with another gesture telling her that he was fine and would tell her about it later*

((*A certain Dismembered Ewok song plays adding to the suspence...* (wouldn't know what, but it sounded good at the time being :))

 

:D))

 

*RH Irvine becomes desprite and grabs Orthos by a forearm, and bursts into his best force speed he can muster, reaching the ship barely in time...*

 

RH Irvine: "Let's get out of here!" *looks at Orthos.* "$hit, I hope I didnt dislocate that arm of yours just then..."

Heimdall: *slightly amused* There is no need to rush. Atomics won't destroy the ship. We are perfectly safe.

 

*to Svafa* Ready to play tag?

 

*Svafa simply nods. The Asgardreid rises off the ground rotates and flies out of the building. It also decloaks*

Heimdall: We are going. And a missle wouldn't cause problems. Out of curiosity were those atomics Fission, Fussion or both Fission and fusion?

 

*Before Orthos can answer*

 

Ah There is Nidhogg now.

 

*Pointing out a view port at the dragon. Meanwhile Svafa who sealed herself in the bridge sends a salvo at the dragon.

 

WHen it reached Nidhogg, he turned his head and stared at the Asgardreid*

Heimdall: Depends on your definition of sanity. We have a general idea, although it is a more make it up as you go sort of thing. And finally I need to examine the sword pieces. so it will have to wait.

 

Oh Look Nidhogg is coming.

 

*Nidhogg leaps off his perch and begins to come directly at the Asgardreid.*

Heimdall: Currently we are trying to get them to chase us...

 

And your right I have not heard of a base in Retari. However that doesn't really mean anything. Does it?

 

Asgardreid: Let's see. Ah yes. I do have information of a base in Retari, What would you like to know?

 

Heimdall: How current is the information?

 

Asgardreid: Not very current. An agent was dispatched to asses it before our departure and the commencement of the quest. Since that point I haven't asked for an update of information.

 

Heimdall: Alright. And what of the book?

 

Asgardreid: Just the title? Couldn't have given me a date when it was written or the author. No that would have made this easier. We can't have that can we...

 

Heimdall: Just look for it.

 

Asgardreid: Fine, fine. Can you please tell her to be careful, Nidhogg almost bit me as we flew past. I don't want to be dragon food.

 

Ah here it is the Book of Malken. Our sole copy was destroyed with the archives. It was deemed to not be important enough to save. That is all I have on the book. Now in my search, I did come across this.

 

Malken Flax son of Draslo Flax. The brief description I have of him says he was a General, warrior and a pilot. For a more comprehensive biography please consult the archives. However that is impossible since the archives were blown up into very tiny pieces.

 

Heimdall: Thank you very much. *looks at Hal, with a slight shrug* Amoung other things we've tracked your bloodline. Now why should we go to that base? More importantly does the map show our next destination?

 

*While this was happening Nidhogg fell behind the Asgardreid and gave chase. He force them into an ambush. Directly in front of the Asgardried were the four other Dragons. Svafa unleashed a string of curses. Loud enough for Heimdall to hear but not the others. This makes Heimdall look out the viewport*

 

Heimdall: This isn't good...

*Guy looks at the map* It's blank.

 

Raschel: Blank?

 

Guy: Blank. *He shows her the map, which is indeed devoid of any details*

 

Raschel: But...

 

Marin: The sword pieces. I believe we ought to assemble them.

 

Raschel: *looking through the viewport* Um, shouldn't we be panicking about now?!

RH Irvine: 'A special map to locate pieces to a sword...' "So this 'sword' how good would it be agenst, well lets say,..." *Thumbs backwards, in the direction of the dragons.* "those guys back there?"

Heimdall: Well the sword is in pieces, and those dragons cannot be killed. So I would say it won't be very effective.

 

*The Asgardreid goes vertical escaping the trap but now has all five dragons chasing after it*

 

And Raschel, if we panic we die. Now personally I don't feel like dieing just yet. Now to the sword. I agree that we probably need to reassemble it. When we are safely in hyperspace we can examine the pieces to see how we need to reassemble the blade.

 

*THe Asgardreid enters space. The dragons still following*

 

Did I mention that they can survive in vaccum? It will only be a minute before the jump is calculated. This jump will be a short one then we will jump again. Now Hal, why exactly should be go to that base and collect that book?

Hal: The book is hardcopy, it's 25,000 years old and contains the recorded location of every Jedi, stronghold, Warlord, force surge and weird mojo since it was written. It will tell us where Drago was when the Galaxy went boom.

 

I assume you know who he is?

Heimdall: That isn't a good enough reason. The book would provide little to no aid. For starters it is full of gaps. For instance that book contains no record of any of our strongholds. Nor every warlord in the galaxy. But that doesn't really matter since we are not going after warlords. The Jedi are all but dead.

 

And no I do not know who Drago is off the top of my head. I would have to consult our database. Before we go hunting for this one you will have to give me a damn good reason to put the quest on hold. Remember we have a time limit. If we fail to beat the deadline then everyone in this galaxy will die.

 

 

*The Asgardreid jumps into hyperspace. Svafa exits the bridge, gives Heimdall a glance and walks to Idun's room*

 

To assemble the sword I need a forge. *hits a button and a galatic map appears. Many of the stars are now missing from it* I believe we should go here *points to a star. the map zooms in showing a system* This is the Balmora system. It is devoid of life and holds one of our listening outposts. THe outposts contains a forge...

 

I'm sorry but there is something that needs my attention. If you excuse me.

 

*Heimdall leaves the lounge and goes to Idun's room*

Asgardreid: *to Raschel* One must talk at lenght when educating people. My personal observations tell me that you all are in desperate need of educating. Perhaps he should hold a class...

 

-----------------------------

 

Heimdall: No, Idun is near death. The force of her impact has caused internal bleeding, she has a broken bones, and some other injuries. She also has been posioned.

 

Svafa: It was foolish of her to use those spells. Our access to the Futhark has been gone to long for her to try those spells. Idun should have waited for her powers to reach their normal levels.

 

Heimdall: What choice did she have? If she didn't all of us could have easily been killed. It is lucky that Hel was only toying with us.

 

Svafa: I know. Still there had to be another way.

 

Heimdall: Unfortunatly there wasn't, and you know Idun. Probably better then I do.

 

Svafa: Yes. Idun would gladly have given her life to save a friends life. However, those people out there can they really be considered our friends?

 

Heimdall: Perhaps, perhaps not. Still as long as they are in our company they have our protection. Regardless of their feelings about us. Idun knew...knows this.

 

Svafa: So do I. Still I would hate to see her sacrifice herself to save people who hate us.

 

*Heimdall squeezes Svafa's shoulder in agreement. Svafa finally finds what she was looking for. It appeared to be a pen. She begins to make marking on the bulkhead *
