Nebula Strider - Bridge
Hyperspace
36 ABY
TuQ’uan Varick stood still on the turbolift, contemplating how best to talk his way into staying on the bridge. When the captain announced that they’d be exiting hypserspace soon, the Kel Dor decided to go see Teylas about the surprise. Ramar was one of the few people who knew where Furios was bringing Clan Plagueis and as one of the three individuals who had planned the trip, was the only one aboard who could give the Kel Dor permission to stay on the bridge and see the planet before anyone else. The mastermind behind this vacation had ordered durasteel panels bolted over all the viewports.
The lift doors opened and the Aedile stepped onto the small bridge. The swirling, blue tunnel illuminated the faces of the captain and crew through the main viewport. The Falleen he’d come to see stood at the front, looking into the vortex as most Sith did when commanding a vessel.
“Come here, Varick!” he demanded without turning his head.
The Professional approached the Warlord, careful not to glance toward any of the navigational screens on his way. The authority of both his Quaestor and a powerful Force user were more than enough to keep his eyes forward. In his experience, Sith could be touchy about their schemes, even for something as insignificant as vacation plans. He stopped a few feet behind the di Plagia’s shoulder.
“So you want to know where we’re going, eh?” asked the Equite.
“I was hoping to convince you to let me stay up here when we leave hyperspace,” TuQ’uan replied. “Maybe try using my position as his Aedile to convince you that I should be in the loop.”
“That depends. Can you keep it a secret? Can you act surprised for the big reveal?”
“Of course, easily. You gotta know how to lie in my line of work.”
The Warlord considered the circumstances for a moment before responding. “Then you can stay, but see that Furios doesn’t find out. You never know what’ll set that giant fool off and I don’t count fighting him as particularly relaxing for my vacation.”
Moments later, the captain announced their arrival and the hyperspace tunnel dissipated into star-lit blackness. From the viewport could be seen a murky, green planet that was unmistakably familiar from the Shadow Academy.
“You’re kidding?” TuQ’uan asked in moderate disbelief.
“Nope, this is the place,” Teylas confirmed with a grin.
The full fiction will be found at the beginning of the event Run-On.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Ascendant Clan, we are closely approaching the “mini-event” that I’ve been promising in my latest report and Telegram. The Clan is indeed going on a vacation very soon so pack your bags and get ready for two weeks of Furios-Fueled Fun(TM). In case you haven’t noticed yet, this news post does indeed contain some redactions to keep the vacation destination a surprise for as long as I can. Those will be declassified on this post when we get to the start date (or if the secret is out by then) and all competition links will be added. In the meantime though, here is all the information you will need to give you a heads up for what Azmodius, Teylas and I are giving you. Enjoy!
Our infinitely wise Consul Selika Roh has decided that the members of Clan Plagueis could use a vacation from the grind of maintaining a powerful presence in the Brotherhood. Unfortunately for the rest of the Plagueians, she also decided to let Furios Morega pick the destination and in his infinite madness, he hid the location from everyone until you all arrived on his idea of a perfect getaway.
Hello everyone and welcome to Dagobah. To get something relaxing going after the Great Jedi War, I’ve decided to drag Azmodius and Teylas into this mini-event intended to run a bunch of small, easy competitions in the form of a clan vacation. So enjoy the light mental stimulation, let your imagination run wild, and above all have fun!
Valid competition participations are worth 2 points, third placements are worth 3 points, second placements are worth 5 points, and first placements are worth 7 points. The Run-On competition will be graded at double value because it runs both weeks and is just as easy to participate in.
At the end of the competition, the individual scores for both weeks will be added up, and the top three individuals will earn crescents for the overall competition.
