Meanwhile, Lucinia found something amusing. Or at least she seemed to be expressing such.

"Ooooohohohohoho!" Even though Lucinia had grown a touch more gaunt over the years, her pale eyes a hint more yellow, the tenor and volume of her interpretation of the family laugh certainly hadn't gotten any weaker. Quite the opposite; perhaps it was powered by the Force.

Still smirking, she lowered her hand. "I do appreciate your concern, my dear. How you worry, so!" Appreciation flashed in her eyes, even as she teased. "But I assure you, I shall do fine eating the food of your former days. It's no worse than Academy food."

Picking up her fork, she poked at her... whatever it was. A brief pause, a raised eyebrow. "Perhaps a bit worse. Is is better with spice? Or wine, perhaps? I do have a fine red."

Also like the detail of the Dark Side corruption showing more in Luci!

Aurilie was sure to nod back in greeting in return to the blue fellow who stopped momentarily beside her. It seemed that most of these items were an easy choice for the visitors here, the flashy brands and designs were sure to catch the attention of those who were familiar with them. They weren't exactly so common around her remote estate, especially when they've made the conscious decision to exclude overly sweet manufactured drinks from the kitchens. Nevertheless, Aurilie decided that she should take her chances with this Crazy Cola. One drink wasn't going to kill her, hopefully.

Duup!

The bottle was unceremously dumped into the vending slot and she picked it up, offering the item careful scrutiny. Over how many calories now? How many sugars? Oh no, Rhia mustn't know about this now...

She meandered over to the table that was congregating with a few people and there were two faces that stuck out. "Good...evening, Miss Breela and Mister Garth. Do you mind if I join you for a bit? Prince Aurilie Alde of the kingdom of Mount Joral." She would offer as an introduction to the others.
I just think it's so cute how Aurilie is thinking of her wife... especially the concern for sugary drinks. :lol:

There is a distress beacon running, two of them, one with Republic signatures and another with Imperial signatures.

They are old codes, but they check out.

As chaos happened all around the republic ship, one occupant didn't seem to be alarmed, at all. The tall alien walked calmly as the alarms, lights and sounds of the battle that was happening on board the ship

Nobody seemed to notice him, for some reason. The xenos just continued forward, and went on to one of the escape pods carrying some equipment and wearing a full enviro-suit, he jumped into one of the pods.

The alien didn't had much training with ships, in fact he had a record of crashing them, both intentional and not so much, so this was a gamble, especially in such a hostile planet as Hoth. But the force was strong in this one, and he blindly gave himself to it, letting it to decide his destiny with such difficult task.

And his faith was rewarded, as the force allowed him to safely guide the pod, towards the beacon, with minor inconveniences...
So we all agree it's Rumun's fault each and every one of our ships crashed, right? This must be a new personal record for him. :twisted:

He cleared his throat and then said, “Break off pursuit for now, let us finish this rabble.”

As the ships flee the delaying action the two ships of the Republic and Empire detonate and explode over the planet but thankfully the makeshift squadron bought enough time for the extra supplies to get down to the planet.

The dark lord of the Sith feared nothing, be it Jedi, deadly plots, or foul smelling sludge. The Dark Side would always prevail and he turned with an army of mops at his beck and call and it was a glorious march even if his overzealous mops knocked over other workers, or cleaned the dirty folks, or even if they just outright scraped the paint jos of ships it was a small price to pay for his show of power.

Darth Baras was glorious.

Music for the Scene

Layne was falling... tumbling through the void.

She tumbles through the darkness until she lands hard in the mud and rock… no snow and ice. An alien world that seems familiar. It is dusty and arid and a man approaches and behind him more and more… perhaps hundreds.

Image
Thick red hair and beard, muscular and scarred, on hand replaced with prosthetic of fine make, crystalline and metallic in a beautiful melding. Behind him were faces she did not recognize but they were all shades of herself.

“Been a long time, cousin. Since all of this,” he raised up the prosthetic limb.

“You came into the dark to find something,” he reached out and placed that same hand on her shoulder. “I want you to know that even when you Fall, when you murder innocents, when you do everything you think you must do, I will always love you. Not just as a cousin but as a sister.”

“What happens next is how it has to be.”

Image
A young woman peered around his shoulder and said, “This is her?” Daz stepped aside and allowed her to speak, “Kriff she looks kind of badass, we could have used someone like her in the fight. But I guess we got by.”

Image
A young man placed his hand on Layne’s shoulder, “So this is part of our legacy, Master Daz. Wow. She was your inspiration, through the dark times. Without her, there would be no us. Too bad you don’t know what happened to her after the war.”

Daz sighed and said, “I lied, I lied to you both. Petra, Jax, all of you… stay awhile and listen.”

Image

His form shimmered and then darkened as he took on a lotus pose, the halo of his light obscuring reality in waves. He continued speaking, “Layne fell to the Dark Side, trying to achieve some greater good but there is no greater good in the dark. She turned her back on the Jedi, on her friends, and on herself.”

“When the war came, she was already lost. Darth Baras had twisted her into the very thing she had tried to destroy. She always needed more power, for some phantom Emperor… some phantom menace just out of sight. Every conspiracy was the Sith Emperor, she convinced herself it was the only way.”

“She told herself killing her friends was just one step, they would forgive her when the ends finally justified the means. The galaxy burned and still she was consumed with this need to prove herself right, to defeat an already dead Emperor.”

“It had to end and so I tracked her down, alone.”

She can see them dueling as Daz stepped aside her two blades, fierce and powerful, unrelenting and filled with hatred. In the end they stood apart her blades ready, as Daz faced her with his singular green blade.

They came at each other and everything was still. Then Layne fell, her head, neatly, severed. Daz collapsed to one knee and then fell forward as he crawled to Layne but his strength gave out before he could reach her.

“That is the truth,” he said, then all of the shadows and faces fell into Daz and he pulled before exploding outward with abundant light.

Image

She was alone now with all of her choices, her decisions.

When she pulled herself from the vision she was laying in the snow stained red from her own blood, her face was sore and bloody. She could not see… she had torn at her eyes she would recover with fancy Star wars tech but for now… she was cold in the inky darkness.

OOC: Layne will be found after the time skip with a Blindness critical, it can be healed just outside Echo Base.

Luth suffers 5 Conflict, Layne and Shyyyo suffer another 10 Conflict for the ordeal due to how long they stayed.

Lucinia was there, dressed in one of her black gowns. Her warm black gowns.

She smiled as she watched the proceedings. Her left hand held her datapad, but her right hand was free, ready to fly up to the corner of her mouth at any moment. She suspected that she would be needing to do that quite often.

This was his first opportunity to see a human court proceeding, but not his own first time being one. The last one that could have been considered one was his, and it was ruled he be exiled from the Chiss. Now Layne was the one about to be exiled.

He hung out near Senya to possibly answer any questions, but he was still not sure how to be social with her. Still was not sure how to be social with a lot of people, though.
I suspect the trial is going to be memorable anyway, but I was already struck by how quickly the Superiority And Condescension section of the courthouse gallery filled up. :lol:

"That's great," she replied, taking out her data pad. "Because you already confessed in front of like four Jedi and me. We'd be idiots to pursue a complete drop to all charges. Our options are basically going to be a plea deal or trying to get an insanity verdict."

"You've been sounding pretty unhinged your entire time here, so I think the latter is a distinct possibility."

Nudimsu begins to walk up to the pen and stares at the goats quietly. His mind was racing with thoughts as he watched the two of them enter the pen while he stayed out of there for the moment, politely nodding to Zeno as he arrived, but keeping his gaze on the small beasts as they wander around.

30 mouths to feed. Cockpit is going to smell like goats. Everything is going to smell like goats. I will be confused as a farmer when we meet clients. Constantly needing to use the refresher to get rid of the smell temporarly. Cleaning up the goat droppings. Stepping on the ones I don't see. And they will breed. Likely already have attempted it. I haven't even had the chance to breed since I got here, yet here they are, breeding away...

His eyes got lower as he stared them down with contempt, keeping quiet for the moment, as he pondered his first move about how to remove the menace from his ship humanly.

Watching and listening, or at least trying to listen to the proceedings, Pipka leans forward towards the others in the observers' area and offers a not too subtle, "Ssshhhhh."

He had not come here to listen to the loose lips Lucy's in the peanut gallery.

He had come here to support his newest friend... and to report back on the proceedings to Jerri in the detail only a fellow writer, or at least enthusiast, could provide. He could already see the different storylines this one trial could provide. It was like he was actually living in one of Jerri's books.

Uh-oh. :?

"Mm. I didn't know I was going to come up so close until I... did." Tethys focuses on Riss while the other woman speaks, but as she circles back to finish her own tale her gaze becomes more distant and abstract again, out toward the ceiling, to the corners of the small room. "One of the Mandalorian clans in that confederation was Varad--not the largest or the strongest, but the worst of them. They would... they set bombs in residential areas, even strapped them on to civilians. Their warlord contacted us on comms to laugh at us when we realized what she'd done. We couldn't save everyone. She meant for us to try, and fail." Tethys's voice is tight as she remembers, and her hand clenches again, fingertips digging into her palm.

"She wanted to watch us feel afraid and helpless, and if that made us angry, it only made her feel more powerful--knowing she could always do it again, and again. Once when the Republic force mounted an attack on one of her fortifications, she released a few dozen prisoners she'd taken into a field of sniper fire and dared us to come out and pull as many of them clear as we could before she--mph." She shrugs one shoulder, stiffly. "It was a great joke to Varad. Her snipers were very good; I still have the scar." There's... obviously a lot packed into that sentence.

Tethys sighs and shifts, rubbing the back of her neck. "I was angry, and I was afraid of what would happen every time we faced Varad. Fear and anger. I think... if I held back, it was because my Masters taught me well enough to see those emotions clearly. And I was not going to let her win. I didn't want her to have a say in who I was. Who I would become." Her lips press together in a sardonic suggestion of a smile. "And when we did defeat her, and took her into custody, I saw how small she really was. Not because she'd lost, but because she always had been lost. She never deserved to break me--or anyone."
You commit some war crimes and you're remembered as small?!

Well, to be fair, she would agree nowadays...

She was dumfounded

''You really have no clue!'' she threw her hand in the air ''You claim you realize you know nothing but in the same breath you claim to know you know more then everyone.''

She gritted her teeth

''You know the first thing you should learn? Humility. Accept that some people, some institution, know more then you even if they don't know everything. You think the Force will give you the secrets of the universe if you decide to go on alone again? It won't happen. You won't be free either. There are consequences to our actions and accepting them is part of growing up...and guess what?''

she paused

''Those consequences, those amends, aren't yours to decide.''

She stared back

''The Jedi are flawed to be sure but were are there when people needs us, we were there when you needed us. We ain't perfect but no one is. Do you think I have nothing else to do then baby sit your whiny ass? Heck naw! I have a thousand and one things to do but I put those aside because you asked for my help and because I care for you, we all care for you, you imbecile!''

Her visage relaxed

''But after all what we try to do you just spit back in our faces, insult us because...you think you are better? That's rich. Here I though Dark Layne was trying to burn down bridges.''

She closed her eyes

''You are going to Tython and that's that. Like it or not it is the place you need to push yourself. If you don't want to see a jedi there then there are continents filled with flesh eating monsters, forgotten temples and so on. You can spend a lifetime there and still have more things to discover. Meanwhile the galaxy will go on without you, like it does for everyone of us.''

That's an intense but very accurate post! Well spoken Baes!

This was a mental world, though, wasn't it? Even where Galen and Tethys and Aphr were. Like a dream. Things could change in dreams... Or, if one was a lucid dreamer, be changed.

Luth was lucid enough right now to recognize that.

She concentrated on the image of the holocron. Making it real, solid, feeling the weight in her hand, how the ridged metal felt. Solidified his memory until she could really believe it was there.

And then it was. She took one foot and slid it across the floor to Tethys, pointing down and doing her damndest to keep Valkorion's eyes - her eyes - up.
