Sirens blared across the Respite as the alarms screamed its imminent destruction. The attack had been a trap and now the team led by Korvis was racing back to the Verda'Kyr, Korvis's personal ship. The reactor had been overloaded, bombs had been rigged to blow and the power to the facility had been cut off.

Coming to the door leading to the ship Korvis had a bad feeling. His team of Draex, Hector, and a squad of Mandalorian troopers were stuck. The self-destruction timer counting down to their death, Korvis assessed the situation as quickly as he could. Without power, they would need to force the door open. Explosives would risk damaging the ship and that would mean they all died.

“When I open this door you all run. Fire up the engines and get as much distance as you can before this thing blows.” The Consul of Vizsla stated.

“But sir, what about you!” Draex stated with worry in his voice.

“We will sing songs of his sacrifice.” Hector Von Ricmore stated knowing the inevitable.

Korvis thrust his spear into the gap of the boarding tube door. He pried it open just enough to get his fingers in between the steel plates. Using every ounce of strength he had he felt the ligaments in his arms strain and his muscles tighten. Slowly he fought against the mechanism holding it shut. He forced himself through the pain as it began to open more. Troopers piled past him as it gave way enough to get through. Hector followed and still Draex hesitated. Hector reached back through the opening and pulled him into the boarding tube as Korvis let go. Trapped on the wrong side, he watched through the small viewport as they boarded the Verda'Kyr and it sped off.

Korvis reached up with his right forearm and pounded his chest to the rhythm of the timer. Reciting the Vizsla mantra as the last seconds ticked away

-=| Closing Remarks |=-

I will keep this fairly short because being Consul has never been about me, it was about you the members of this clan. I fully expected to be fired within 6 months of getting consul. I am so glad y'all (and the overlords) stuck through my growing pains. Two and half years later sending that message to Bubba to step down was a hard thing to do. I am going to miss checking my emails and seeing all the work y'all have put in. I am going to miss checking the XP and the credit numbers to see where we as a summit could award you. I am going to miss being able to acknowledge your efforts with awards and promotions. I have had the esteemed privilege of being able to work with a lot of great people inside and outside of this clan. I will forever look back at this time as my favorite period in this club. Because each one of you made this an amazing job to have. Thank you all for making Vizsla home.
