Shintera, the most populous planet in the Jusadih System, home to much of the residential and commercial activity among the star Sigil's orbiting worlds. In one derelict skyscraper, soon to be demolished, an informant of rebellious Jusadih Independence Coalition splinter cells has been discovered. Each day, he feeds the enemy more critical information on our troop deployments and supply shipments, and comes perilously close to the ultimate secret: Our Brotherhood affiliation.
He knows too much of our Regime, and would be alerted if we acted through it; we cannot send the Armed Forces or the Directorate to handle him, no more than we can level a building from orbit without bringing questions of why into the picture. Only one reliable option remains: The Blade of Plagueis, the Battleteam of elite Dark Jedi within the Ascendant House.
Primus Pilus has been tasked with his elimination, and at Commander Vorrac's discretion, you have been sent. You enter the skyscraper, find your target, and complete your mission.
You peer from the skyscraper's broken windows on a premonition. Just in time to see a figure in a nondescript travel cloak detonate the demolitions charges placed throughout the building.
Write a minimum four page fiction on how you, an elite Plagueian Dark Jedi of Primus Pilus, navigate out of a skyscraper that is literally collapsing, teetering, and blowing apart around you. The emphasis is on adrenaline and event velocity; I want to see your character face impossible feats, be they walls of flame, plummets toward death, or crushing weights, and survive by virtue of your expert training in the Dark Side of the Force.
Get writing, Pilus. I expect several submissions.
