Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Darth Revan]

The Director gave a happily surprised face as a girl who looked exactly like Terenia showed at the top of the ramp. "Hmmm, twins, that's fun."

Parker had a slight moment of confusion. Normally even identical twins have some sort of difference between the two, but this girl that was exiting the ship was literally identical. The only way to confirm this is to get a fingerprint example, but as that was unlikely to happen, Parker settled with assuming his hunch was correct. Terenia morphed her sister to retain her own visage, except not only in face, but entirely.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

<Not exactly.>  Ossanlin replies to Temrash.  <Something she did to an Imperial.  It's not my place to say what.>  Ossanlin's main eyes look towards the young human woman who had spoken to him...the one who had more or less been the cause of this mission.  <You are welcome, I may take you up on that offer.>

Just then Ossanlin notices Tamora on the ramp.  His eyes widen and he scans over the crowd, seeing Terenia.  <How was she released?!>

[Chad32]

"Okay..." Temrash said. He'd ask Myitt later then. After Oss demanded to know how a Human that looked exactly like Terenia had been released, he made a guess. "Well if it wasn't Myitt, then it may have been the Human. I assume the Warrior wouldn't do anything unless ordered."

He glanced at Terenia just to note the striking similarities, and noted that Terenia was more tense than ever.

"Are we going to have to sedate that one?" He asked no one in particular.

Derrel didn't overhear Oss' demand as he had gone into the bar. It was run down, and the bartender looked a bit scary. He wasn't sure where to start, but his growing hunger left a sense of urgency.

[Gaz]

Asda was doing a scan on her portable computer. At the start of the scan she was calm, after all, as far as she knew this would prove to be nothing more than a headache.

Suddenly, Andromeda clutched her head and Asda eyes went wide and she didn't look so happy anymore.

"Oh no," she said quietly.

"What?" Morgan asked, then he got more demanding. "What is it?!"

"She wasn't just asleep," Asda replied, "I'm picking up traces of something that wasn't showing up before. She must have been in some sort of stasis and...."

"And?" Morgan growled. Morgan was growing upset, but Asda knew it was not aimed at her.

"...the drug is present in her body," Asda finished. "It must have been lying dormant, and the injection I gave her to help after she woke up...it looks like it's speeding up the process."

"The process?" Gaz said, eyes widening. "You don't mean..."

"Do something!" Morgan yelled. "Find a way to stop it! Get her to the med bay."

"There may not be time," Asda said, visibly flustered. Then she turned to Fletcher, "Fletcher, get me the..."

"I know the one," Fletcher said and was running out of the bar like a speeding bullet.

Morgan, as well as Asda, was becoming glad that they were in a relatively empty corner of the bar.

Gaz was looking around the bar at the people inside. She raced around looking for someone.

"Silver!" she called. "Silver! Something's wrong!"

[Terenia]

For a moment it looks as if Terenia is going to pull her weapons and charge Tamora, but instead she twists her head around, seeking out Ossanlin. As soon as she finds him talking to Elayne she stalks up to him, eyes blazing.

"Did she come willingly?" Terenia demands hotly, her cheeks flushing bright red as she gestures to the ramp where Tamora is still standing, searching the crowd with terrified eyes. When her gaze falls on Terenia she blanches, turning on her heel with all intents of running back into the Mirage, but instead running into Myitt and Corliss.

Trey notices a sudden ruckus in the back corner of the bar. He lifts his head, examining the patrons that are have clothed in shadow. Several of them seem to be far from human, and unlike anything Trey has ever seen before. He can vaguely remember these particular beings walking in sometime after he did, returning from some sort of journey, but otherwise he has ignored them. Now, though, it seems as though something has gone wrong. He hesitates momentarily before abandoning his table and heading towards the corner.

"Hey," he says, smiling a little sheepishly. His eyes flit from one person to the next before landing on Asda, who seems to be in charge of the present situation, "is everything okay? Do you guys need some help?"

[Chad32]

"Will you calm down?" Temrash says after Terenia runs up to talk to Ossanlin, and tamora trying to get away. "By the Kandrona, I don't know why you're all ticked off. If this operation they went on wasn't done your way, then you probably should have gone with them. Otherwise just be grateful that they succeeded and settle down before I take those dracons away."

[Myitt]

"Oof!" Corliss exclaims as Tamora runs right into him and Myitt, like a deer in the headlights.  "Watch it, will ya?  Cor..."  He lets go of Myitt and crosses his arms.  "Is she really that frightening?"

Myitt looks up blearily, blinking at Tamora.  "Leave her alone, Corliss.  She's been through...a lot."

[Terenia]

"This operation shouldn't have been done any way. And we have yet to determine whether it has been successful or not." Terenia says to Temrash callously before turning back to Ossanlin. "Tell me Captain. Did Tamora come here by her own will or not?"


---

Tamora shakes her head, not trusting herself to speak. She pushes past the two Yeerks, through the bridge and back to the med bay. She sits on the bed that had been her prison moments before, sobbing.

[Myitt]

Corliss watches Tamora run off after pushing past him.  "Blimey, everyone's turning on the waterworks," he says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's been a rough trip," Myitt says flatly.  "Let her go."  She walks down the ramp, not making eye contact with anyone.

Corliss hesitates for a moment, then follows Myitt out of the hatch.

[Chad32]

"Yes you're probably right. They did something nontypical to Andalites. You know what would be typical for Andalites? Putting you in a cell, starving you out, dealing with your host however they choose, and not caring if Visser Three kills your sister or not. Given the alternative, I'd say you're lucky you got caught by this Andalite instead of most other ones." Temrash said.

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne's eyes widened as Terenia approached, and she stepped back to give her space. What caused Elayne even greater concern, however, was Temrash's interjections. She shook her head back and forth jerkily from behind Terenia; the woman's perpetually swinging pendulum of emotions was something of a legend in the Bar, after all. She imagined that any of Temrash's attempts to calm her down or argue with her would only worsen the situation.

The sight of Myitt caught her attention as Tamora returned to the Mirage. She smiled and raised a hand in greeting, but then almost immediately let it drop as she noted her expression. The trip may have been a successful one, but it was becoming clearer that it had not been cheerful.

[Gaz]

Morgan glanced up from where he was standing by Asda.

"If you happen to know anything about genetic experimentation," Morgan commented. "They're doing to her what they did to me! She was captive for ten years, how could I think they didn't do anything."

"Captain, now is not the time," Asda said as she was waiting for the computer to scan.

Out of the kit she had brought with her, Asda pulled out a needle and prepared to take a blood sample from Andromeda's arm.

[Terenia]

"I didn't get caught by anyone," Terenia says with a scowl, her right hand sliding down to grip the butt of her Dracon Beam defensively, "I came to this place on my own. I should have left as soon as my fuel cells were replaced, but I was under the impression that this was a place where one could relax without worrying about the war. Clearly I was wrong."

--

Tamora slowly lowers herself into a lying position, curling up into a fetal position on the bed. For the first time since losing Zorish she really allows the grief to overwhelm her. For once, she is grateful for the solitude of the medbay as her body is wracked with sobs.

--

Trey's eyes widen slightly as he looks from the minotaur to the human woman. "I don't..." he shakes his head, aghast. "I don't know anything about genetics. But if I can do anything, I'd be happy to."

[Myitt]

Myitt laughs bitterly, overhearing Terenia as she weaves her way through the crowd.

"Good luck trying to get away from the war in this place," she calls, glancing at the nothlit.  "Only difference between the Space Bar and the war is that the bar has booze."  Myitt stalks off toward the bar building.

Corliss, attempting to follow Myitt through the throng of people, nearly runs right into Terenia.  He stops, then mutters an apology, trying to move past her.

[Chad32]

Temrash noticed Elayne jerking her head from side to side like she wanted him to stop antagonizing Terenia, but she was on a hair trigger for some reason. He prepared himself to wrestle her weapons away and possibly restrain her, but for now he decided to let Ossanlin talk.

He noticed Myitt come by, but she passed so quickly he didn't have time to talk to her.
