Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

[Terenia]

<Claxter,> Efaen acknowledges, stepping over to him. When she gets near enough she holds out the communication device, offering it back to him.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

While Ossanlin waits for Serid's response, his comm goes off and he raises his eyebrows.  <<Excuse me a moment Serid.>>  He pulls the device from his utility harness and activates it.  <<Yes Corliss?>>

[Chad32]

<You honestly aren't going to go with them, are you? Without even giving Prince Ossanlin so much as one chance?> Claxter asked without taking the communicator. <You act like you hate Yeerks, yet you apparently trust them more than your own people. After five years you finally got away from them, but now you're going back? Why?>

[Terenia]

Efaen tilts her head to the side, listening to Claxter's questions. When he does not accept the communicator she sighs and lowers her hand.

<Warrior Claxter, I fully trust that Prince Ossanlin wishes to do all he can to assist me. What can I expect to come from a Yeerk sympathizer though? If his alliances are known in the Electorate, even if they approve on him, they will watch him closer than any other Princes. As soon as the Electorate knows that I am not dead, that I am alive and was imprisoned within the Empire, they will overrule anything Prince Ossanlin can say and send me back to the Homeworld.>

She straightens up, giving Claxter a piercing stare. <We are in a war, and I intend to be as useful as possible. That means that certain risks become necessary.> Her tone softens slightly, <I know that you care for me, Claxter, but we are at a pivital moment in this war. There is no time for petty emotions.>

[Myitt]

Corliss sighs.  "You're right, you're right...we'll give him a break.  I..."

The holoscreen beeps rapidly and he turns to it. 

"Oh, yes, hello Ossanlin," he says, rubbing the back of his neck.  "Listen, there have been some developments...um.  Efaen is joining the rebellion, she's gone to speak to you about her rationale, but the decision's already been made."  He pauses, letting that sink in. 

Silently, he wishes he could tell Ossanlin that Terenia has decided to accept his offer, but even now he felt she wasn't sure.

[Chad32]

<I really really don't want to let you go off somewhere alone, given the off chance that Prince Ossanlin actually approves of this. I want to help you, but I'm not sure how I can if you go there and Terenia finds some way to get back in your head. You know she will. If she doesn't convince you, she'll find someone to convince.>

[Terenia]

<Let me?> Efaen's brows shoot up at the implied sexism. <Claxter, I believe you have misinterpreted your role here. You are a warrior. I am a warrior. We both are fighting for the same goal and if our paths diverge then so be it. You are not responsible for my decisions. I am no less competent than you are, despite my smaller blade.>

<As for Terenia, she has no place inside my head. If the rebellion sees it fit to force her to infest me, at least then we will know that they are truly a farce.>


Terenia listens, still fuming over Efaen's flat out refusal to become a host again. After everything I've done for her, too, she thinks bitterly.

[Chad32]

Claxter thought about protesting, but thought better of it. If she had been a male, would he not have treated her as an equal? She was more Warrior than he was. Far braver, for one thing.

<Of course you are not less competent. Perhaps I have not treated you with enough respect.. he said, and reached for the communicator. <Hopefully everything will work out. Good luck.>

[Terenia]

Handing the communicator to Claxter she offers him a small smile. Perhaps the Warrior is not entirely hopeless.

<I do thank you, Claxter,> she says. <You were with me in my first moments of freedom, and I am grateful that you did not judge me unfairly, despite my dishonorable arrival here. You will find your place in this war, of that I am sure.>

[Chad32]

<Prince Ossanlin is inside the building, in case you were not aware.> He said, and turned to leave. He had been looking forward to working with Efaen, but now it seems they would be separated. Working at different ends of the war, though towards the same goal.


Temrash finished his drink, and got up. "Well, I guess I'll leave. Good day to you." He said, and piad the bartender then left out the door that Salem didn't go through. He walked off towards his ship, which he would move after getting there and contact Salem.

[Aldrea2011]

Danielle watches from where she was before, in case something went wrong and she needed the element of surprise. She did not know these people after all, and anyone could be the enemy. Better to be safe than sorry, in her experience.

[RAFrukh]

We watched Claxter and Efaen interact, but soon became aware of our...boredom? Is this what boredom feels like?

<Claxter, should we deactivate the hologram now?>, we asked.

[Chad32]

<Yes, go ahead.> Claxter said. <I'm going to go to the bar, if either of you want to follow.>

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin listens to Corliss before chuckling to himself.  <'The decision has been made...'  Regarding my Warrior, a soldier within my charge, without my involvement or approval...  It is to laugh.  I suppose I must then file Efaen as rogue.  It will not sit well with the Electorate that she was freed from Yeerk control only to immediately abandon her duties to the Andalites to join the rebellion, she will be known as a Yeerk sympathizer, but there's not much I can do about it if that is what she truly desires.  She will most-likely be labeled a traitor as well.  I've kept your secrets regarding Ertoran, but Efaen's recovery is already known by those above me...she will be responsible for her own fate, as will your rebellion.  After all, the decision has already been made, as you said.>

[KitsuneMarie]

Illim raises his eyebrows at Corliss as Efaen leaves. "Well. I guess that went... you know... okay." He sighs and walks towards them. "Derrel was hoping to get a chance to talk to Reven, but I'm not about to suggest we call him again. He looked pretty testy. You know, he didn't look surprised to see me; think that means Myitt made it back and told him I might be trying to wriggle my way into your ranks?"
