Hoth: Blood and Ice

Don't forget to offer respectful prayers to the Empress

It seems like Zakuul will lose , so Aphr will have to work on some stuff I guess? :D Did Aphr have concerns about Zakuul since it was something created by the Sith Emperor? When did she decide that it would be best for her to join with Zakuul over a potential alliance with Republic and Sith Empire?...

What's Aphr going to do if Zakuul is defeated? If they survive? Does it change things for her at all if the Republic and Empire are able to work together, or will she rationalize it? If Zakuul is defeated Aphr would be extremely surprised, as she had entirely given up hope on that unity ever happen...

I do wonder what will happen with Vaylin... There was a smile and another nod, Aphr sitting back. "Could you tell me more about Zakuul? Where we're going, what it's like? I'm sure you must have lots of stories of home." (ooc - happy to fade to stories unless it's feeding into the return to the ship?)

I'll have more to share in coming days I'm sure but I want to say thank you to everyone in the game and to Dapper as well! It's been great fun, and I'm really going to miss coming back to this game.

Feel free to ask anything about either character - Aphr survives and Azura dies

Echoing all of the above - you've created a fantastic story over these years and it's been great being a part of it. Thank you for running, thank you for the patience and more importantly thank you for the memories. I'll miss these games

Aphr nodded.

"If those based here are able to spread the message galaxy wide you may find more resistances. Something for the commanders to consider, although I wonder if they're likely to listen to an Outlander like me on strategy. Hopefully your experiences here will lend weight to my words."

"Until you got to Hoth?" Aphr motioned to the planet "where they're starting to realise they need to stand together. A large mixed group which includes a Prince Consort of Alderaan as well as other Alderaan nobles, a Republic Senator and Imperial general, several Sith Lords and Jedi masters. All inf...

"There are a handful on Hoth that have realised this already and I would expect an attempt to form a united front will begin here. I don't know how the conquest is going across the galaxy as a whole but if the movement grew it might become more difficult, but I'm not a military minded person and Zak...

"The people of this galaxy can perform miracles far beyond what I suspect even the commanders would have considered possible. I'm sure you're aware of the attack on the base earlier that was repelled, and word around the base before I left was one of them even caused the explosions out in the wastes...

"Legacy might not be the right word" Aphr conceded with a nod "but I understand what you mean with liberty and change. However I question whether any form of liberty can be reached while the galaxy continues to operate under a veil of distrust and greed. Even today, with us knowing what threats we f...

Aphr considered the words. Looking back on her own decisions, that lead her to where she was now. Did she have a choice? "Yes...I suppose if one is able to look back on the moments they can see choices. It's not always that easy or simple." There was a small shake of the head. "As for Zakuul, from m...

"So the automation is true..." Aphr said more to herself before nodding "I'm happy to do what is needed to help, so that's fine. With so many systems within the galaxy all with their own differences and not a lot of studies on it not even I can say I know every corner of it. They all have their diff...

Aphr looked out the window again to see if she could make out how far until they reached the commanders ship. "Not long then. I'll try to keep out of the way on the Commanders ship for the brief amount of time we're there. Better to not cause problems being the Outlander" she said with a small smile...

"Oh is that so? Well Alderaan is pretty important to many in this galaxy and a much better view than this system."

Aphr looked back out of the window again at Hoth.

"I won't miss Hoth that's for sure..."

She looked back at Arynia.

"How long does it take to return to Zakuul from here?"

"There are some incredible sights in this galaxy. Beauty to be found in ever corner. If you base the galaxy on the people however..." Aphr sighed, shaking her head "I can see why you would be underwelmed coming from the glory and unity of Zakuul and seeing the dissent and cruelty of many here. Perha...

"I feel honoured and quite excited for it. In my visions I have had glimpses, but visions will never compare to seeing the reality with ones own eyes. Do many in Zakuul travel or study the galaxy beyond Zakuul?"

I wonder what reaction a Twi'lek gets in Zakuul...

"Having spent the last month there, I can't wait to get somewhere warm and defrost" Aphr said with a small laugh "I don't like the cold in general and this was beyond cold. Strategically awful as well, feels like you're fighting the planet as much as anything else." She looked back at the woman. "Fo...

(ooc - on board Aphrs ship) All her preparations had been completed, and the attack on the base while incredibly bad for the people would provide a perfect cover for her. All that was left was to leave...but she had one final thing to do. It was difficult, she wanted to say so much but she didn't ha...

"Then I have some learning to do on the trip back" Aphr said with a nod "good thing I enjoy learning."

She looked out of a shuttle window as they took off.

"Will you be returning to Zakuul also or are you remaining here?" She couldn't see or hear Vaylin so she assumed the woman had gone on ahead.

Aphr looked at the saber being tossed, which brought the shape of the base into her vision. She couldn't make out anything of it, but she knew it was there. Moyr. Galen. Be safe, don't make the wrong choice. She turned back with a smile and a nod, moving to board the ship and taking her hood down on...

"Twi'lek" Aphr said with a nod "our lekku are part of how we communicate in our own language. I would be happy to tell you more about the people of this galaxy, as they are vast and very different." She looked at the spinning lightsaber for a moment then back at the woman with a smile. "Thank you. M...

The language was a fascinating one that she would have to learn quickly she suspected. She did hope that Vaylin would be the one to meet her however...

She paused, making sure to not appear threatening. Not that she ever did look threatening.

"I am Aphr."
