Imperial Entanglements

4AM. It has been too long of a night.

Philippe was surprised he was still awake; he had been up all night sorting personal issues out. He had been inside for the past 26 hours working on paperwork and making calls and such, so he decided to go outside for some fresh air and some peace and quiet. As he opened the door, he saw something in the distant sky.

"Why do I always see bizaar things like this?" He chuckled.

The brightness in the sky got closer and closer, until it was just over a hilltop in the distance. It crashed with a soft rumble. Philippe pulled out his comm.

"Looks like a meteorite hit just outside town, I'm going to go check it out. Be back soon."

He went inside and grapped his pistol and got onto a speederbike. He sped off to the site of the crash.

*comm* Beep beep *comm*

4:05 A.M. Why cant this happen during normal hours.

Solmano wakes to the beeping of his comm at 4 AM. "What the hell?" he whispers to himself as he reads the comm.

Solmano replies with "Where are you? Its 4 AM, what are you still doing up?" with a confused look on his face.

Sol stubbs his toe as he stumbles out of bed toward the dresser to get dressed. He puts on a fresh pair of skippys, and gets dressed. As he starts to drink his morning brew, he notices a stain on his brand new shirt. "Awe crap" he exclaimed as he tries to wipe it off.

*Solmano tries to contact Philippe again. "Where are you phil?" he wrote*

Fully awake now, he puts on his cloak, and heads towards the door. "A meteor, heh. What can possibly go wrong" he thought. As he walked towards the door, he felt a strange feeling, followed by goosebumps. "This cant be good" he exclaimed as he turned around to grab his saber that he almost left behind.

As Philippe started to speed off, the speeder's motor went dead. As usual. Something always went ridiculously wrong.

He switched into an AV-21 and started to head out when he heard Solmano over the comm system. "If anyone else is out there, please respond. This could be potentially dangerous" Philippe said into the comm.

He picked up Solmano and headed out to where the meteor crashed.
"What the heck are you doin up at 4AM?" Solmano asked.
"Meteor. I need to check it out, could be something imperial." Philippe said back.

As they approached the crash sight they saw an escape pod crashed into the ground with sparks shooting out.

"What the hell is that?!" exclaimed Solmano.

Suddenly the escape pod let out a loud hissing sound and an enourmous explosion erupted, causing the entire pod to shoot up flames a hundred feet into the air. The pod's extuingishing system activated and caused the fire to go out. They both approached the area where to door blew off. Philippe leaned over to try and crawl in but with his armor on he couldnt fit.

"Err...Sol....I think I'm a bit to...muscular to fit in here. Could you go inside? "

The both laughed and Solmano started to crawl in. "Watch my back" He ordered.

"We have some casualties...i count 3 of em. Well thi....wait...there is something else here." Solmano dug out a datadisk baried in the sand. "There is a datadisk here...we should take it back to the lab."

As Solmano was inside the pod, Philippe waited outside looking about the wreckage. He noticed something gleaming on the gound. As Solmano came out, he nothiced that Philippe was holding up a necklace with a rebel insignia on it.

"Where did you find that?" He asked.

"It was on one of the skeletons. Damn. Always a shame to loose some of our own."

They put the stuff they found in the speeder and headed off towards the lab.

Later that night, Solmano started thinking about the escape pod, and the Rebel necklace that Philippe found. He hoped that it was there previous of the disaster, but he knew that it probably wasn't. Sol was hoping that the necklace was just a stolen item, and the casualties were only thieves. He would hate to know that 3 rebels would perish in such an aweful fate.

"If only I knew for sure, then my mind could be put at ease, and I can get some rest." he thought. He also began thinking that Phil found the necklace outside of the wreckage, and couldn't help to wonder if there were any survivors....unlikely with 3 casualties already in an escape pod, but if it had to be used, he's sure they could have shoved even more inside of it.

Solmano wanted to go back to the crash site, which was originaly thought of as a meteor, to check things out, but it was dark out as night fell. "Maybe I will go to the lab and see if i can get any info off the Data disk" he thought with heavy thoughts weighing down his head.

*Comm* Phil, Im going to the lab to see if I can uplink the info from the data disk to our mainframe, Can you meet me there? *comm*

Solmano exits his house, and towards his speeder. He stopped just short of it, and thought he would take a walk instead. After all, the lab was only about 100m away from his home in Ft. Nova, where the sky was lit up the night before.

Philippe was already at the lab

The Imperial Datadisk had been having some trouble, the files wouldn't open. After several long minutes passed by since he had starting feeling like he was going to give up, the disk finally came through. There were two peices of information on the disk.

****Opening Storage File Alpha****

((A Hologram shoots from the computer's holoprojector, displaying 3 Ithorians standing around each other))

Greetings Nova Recon Corps. We would like to inform you of our vicotry in capturing this data. I, Pastrak Celstae and my other two comrades were prisoners on board an imperial shuttle. During a brief powerouttage due to a strong space storm, we managed to escape and capture the file as follows. There were two disks, the entire message is on the second datadisk as we couldn't fit it all onto this one. Hoever, there is still some of the message on this one.

We felt we needed to contact you as one of us was a slave to the Commander. He said something about an attack on a rebel city or something, and we only knew of NRC in this sector. Please view over it carefully, as im sure you will be very interested in it.

((one of the ithorians looks out the escape pod window, makes an alarmed face, then yells))

((the hologram flickers on and off with the voices unaudible))
((suddenly it looks as if a laser bolt comes in the pod before the hologram gives out))

****End of File Alpha****

"...what the heck. Why won't this freakin mesesage come through?! It's just a bunch of stupid blocks" Philippe barked to himself.

Philippe went over the comm asking for anyone who is good in translating codes to report to the lab.

Solmano enters the lab, only to see philippe already trying to encode the discs. "Good to see your on top of things, Phil" he exclaims in a pleased voice. "So, What do we have here?" he says.

Philippe just keeps trying to encode the discs, as if he didnt hear Solmano ask the question. Solmano can tell that Philippe is very into his work and does not want to bother him, so he takes a step back and sits down for a sec.

Some time passes, and Solmanos eyes begin to close as he gets a bit tired, When suddenly he hears the message come through in holo-form. As the message is playing, he can barely see a set of numbers and letters etched on the side wall of the escape pod in the holo image. Sol brings that to the attention to philippe, hoping it is a serial number and we can use it to track the Imperial ship these men were on. Perhaps this will help, perhaps not, Sol thought.

Philippe was startled to see Solmano sitting behind him.

"Hm, you may be on to something. Maybe if we find out where the ship is heading, we might figure out what city is going to be attacked or whatever the situation was."

"Alright lets go check it out" Solmano responded.

"No, ill go check it out. You stay here and guard the data, make sure nobody accessess it. Ill call if there is trouble" Philippe said as he walked out the door.

"Wait, what if there is trouble here?" Solmano asked.
"You're the higher rank, you figure it out" Philippe laughed as he said this.

Philippe walked outside, and saw the aweful sandstorm. Dang. How was he going to get through this? Anyway, he hopped on the speeder and slowly headed out to the crash site. He got off when he thought he was around 20 meters away and started to walk to it. When he reached the pod he searched for a serial code. No luck.

"Maybe if it cleared up a little, i could actaully SEE the code!" philippe shouted. It started to clear.

"Just my luck!" he chuckled.

Just his luck. A sudden electrical charge from the imperial's gun knocked him to the ground. He crawled under the escape pod into the inside of it. There, the second coded disk started to decode itself, and he read it. Shocled, he pulled out a datadisk, made a quick holo-transmission of himself and stuck it to the ceiling of the pod.

Colonel Arastar grabbed his arm and beat him across the head with his E-11. Philippe blacked out.

When he woke up again, he was on a stretcher, tied down to where he couldn tmove. He saw Solmano and two others killing off imperial troops around the escape pod in the distance.

"Sol! RUN!" Philippe shouted as loud as his disabled body would let him. He was being loaded into the ship when Solmano heard his screams. Philippe saw the three running towards the imperial transport, but it was too late. The ship took off, taking Philippe with it.

*****HOLODISK TRANSMISSION*****

Philippe, looking alarmed yet acting calm, says the following:

"Fellow Nova Recon Corps, I am sorry i have failed you. It has been a great honor serving you all and I hope you guys have a successful future in bringing peace to the galaxy. "

*Philippe Salutes*

"The coded transmission decoded itself inside the escape pod. Arastar is the one behind this. The imperials called him 'Colonel Arastar' and i think he is the one behind this whole thing. Do not trust him! Do not come after me either, I am being taken to a biological testing facility on Naboo, and it is rediculous to risk everyone's life for mine. There is going to be ######tack###ova, I rep####attack o##Fort Nova.########ull scal###ttack. thousands of######################."

****End Transmission*****

Colonel Arastar seemed pleased. The imperial scouting transport was landing right on time. As the imperial's walked out, he raised his fist and shouted "for the empire!" everyone cheered.

The sqaudron of maybe 50 imperial troopers headed towards fort nova
