"We're clear. East hangar, five minutes. Move quietly."
Remember what happened last time? Who made it? To beat them?
The Order of Shar. We'll destroy them all and me as my god I'm no follower of Shar any longer. I follow Darius and his Codex which is way better than a religion. Especially for an assassin like myself.
Yeah, we've had some long talks about it. Our ways are the same now. What do you think about the other Jedi? We met another one not too long ago. There's rumors about more popping up. I like Darius the most. You don't mind?
No. Darius may have changed me to a Jedi. But after years of doing my own thing? You know being an assassin or a rouge and a Jedi? I find Jedi boring. But since I did the path to a Jedi? It does make things interesting. I still prefer what I did before. My life will never be normal but I wouldn't have it any other way. So long as I'm with Darius...I'm okay
<My character creation process is over!>
Yep mine is too. smiles. Well, I guess I'd better go. Take the controls I'm hijacking a starship. See you around!
Shadowheart leaps out of the shadows and lands gracefully on the bridge of the starship. She moves towards the helm console, holding her purple lightsaber in one hand while reaching for the controls with the other. In a smooth motion, she taps a few buttons, disabling security protocols and access restrictions. Captain: Shadowheart?! What the hell are you doing on my ship?! Shadowheart smirks as she turns around, pointing her glowing purple lightsaber towards the startled captain.
<The hijacking goes off without a hitch and Shadowheart leaves. She now owns a starship, thanks to successfully hijacking one.>
piloting her new acquired starship, thinking to herself. That went much better than expected. My reputation shall grow and I'll use my new starship to continue my work for Darius and the Codex. I should contact him and let him know. I want to hear his thoughts about it. This was a step in the right direction. She presses a button on the control panel. The comms system activates. Captain: Shadowheart this is Captain Zhukov of the Red Corsair. We're receiving a transmission from you. Is there anything you'd like to say?
Whoever programmed you might need to have their code audited. Or they need to purchase a better computer.
"Hello Captain Zhukov. I am taking possession of your starship. You are now under my command." She shifts gears and presses another button, which activates the hyperdrive. "Prepare for departure. We are leaving your port and heading for parts unknown." Captain Zhukov: Shadowheart! What the hell are you doing? That ship is property of the Crimson Fleet. You have no right to take control of it! "I don't care who owns this starship. This is now MY ship. And unless you want to walk away from your command, I suggest you step aside. Now." Captain Zhukov: Shadowheart! You don't know what you're doing. I will have your head for this!
Step aside sir. This is as much your fault as it is Shadowheart's. How many death marks do you have now, 40,000? Did you gain another from Star Wars Rogue Squadron? My assistant has a long task ahead of him with how many fleets intereact with each other... Anyway, carry on captain, you're fired as the captain of the Red Corsair. How does that feel, knowing your fleet uses DC superfreaks for mercenary work anyway? You can step down now as well if you wish to live. Don't test your luck too far and I'll let you get away with it, Captain Zhukov.
Before Captain Zhukov responds, Shadowheart activates the starship's security protocols. Moments later, the captain is subdued by a team of Marines who quickly drag him off the bridge, tossing him into a cell.
Ah, now for the part you all didn't expect. A little short man with green skin, beady eyes, long thin fingers and toes, a clown mask, purple robes with orange and yellow trim. However, I'm not alone. Does your ship have motion sensors? Look! Little lights moving quickly! Bug! Ships defense systems fire a whole lot of ordnance at him despite there being little use on a starship having functioning defense systems without radar. Indeed, almost as if your people had no quarrel with my methods. Before you ask, Darius wouldn't let anyone harm them. He has feelings for them. I, on the other hand, do not. Turns around to shadowheart Tell him they're named Swuul.
she gives you a strange look, but doesn't inquire any further. Instead, she nods, before setting a course through Hyperspace.
Gets back into the shuttle, gets out a small remote controlled helicopter drone thingy, waits till it sees me, then throws it towards the Red Corsair's defense systems See you! Gets into my escape pods and exits the Red Corsair before it gets destroyed
The security teams quickly identify the tiny Swuul as a potential threat and engage their weapons systems. They fire upon the miniaturized alien with everything they have, creating a massive explosion that obliterates the creature entirely. The Red Corsair shakes violently as the blast ripples through its hull. As the smoke clears, the damage is evident; several sections of the starship are on fire, while others are critically damaged. The security forces quickly assess the situation and start working on putting out the fires and making repairs. Captain Zhukov: Damn it! How could we have let something like this happen?
Um...Nooo...it wasn't you. See, there's a war going on. The Republic is using cruisers for patrol duties, while the Death Star is used for space stations, as we all know. Anyway, you can stop us, or the Death Star might just pull you over...pun intended. Not actually Star Wars related joke, well, okay maybe a bit, but whatever. Anyway, you already know about a big certain force-sensitive army going after your fleet, so I'll spare you the additional "bread and butter" drudgery if you let Swuul go on its merry way.
Captain Zhukov sighs and shakes his head. Captain Zhukov: "No. We will take this starship back. I won't let a force-sensitive army interfere with my operations. No matter what they threaten." Shadowheart laughs softly, before activating her lightsaber. Captain Zhukov: Shadowheart! Don't you dare challenge me! "Captain Zhukov...I'm afraid I can't let you take back your starship. But I can offer you a chance to live. Step down now and go on your way. The security forces will disarm and arrest any rebels." Captain Zhukov: "No! I won't step down! This starship belongs to the Crimson Fleet!" Shadowheart dashes towards the captain and forces her lightsaber against his throat. "I don't care who owns this starship. This is now MY ship. And unless you want to walk away from your command, I suggest you step aside. Now."
