USH'S GAME EPISODE V- 'MAUSOLEUM'- DARK SIDE AREA

"The Astrolabe is... safe," says Kuylen.

"Meaning what exactly? It's good that it's safe, but where and how?"

"You know, Galder, you do have this problem with being easily distracted," says Kuylen. "*I* know where it is and that is all that matters! YOU, on the other hand, should be training your men so that all the work you put in to GETTING the Astrolabe wasn't a waste of time."

Wraith is taken aback by Kuylen's sudden edginess. "I take it you would like me to be off as well?"

Galder too is taken aback, not used to having Kuylen use a harsh tone unless Galder has done something wrong. "Geez, alright Kuylen, I'll give you your space. I'm sure you have your reasons for being discreet..." Galder goes to train with his men.

"Alright, soldiers, we are going to have war games! Can you set your weapons for stun rather than kill?"

Technically, what these weapons have is a 'whack' rather than 'smash' setting, as opposed to stun and kill...

"Whatever keeps you happy, Wraith, so long as it is useful. Talking of which..." says Kuylen- he goes to see Chion.

"Then set it to whack! We will be combatting Captain Wraith's men, right Wraith?" Galder asks.

"Um...sure..." Wraith says, watching Kuylen walk off. "Do you think I could check on..." Wraith thumbs in Kuylen's direction. "I want to see what he's saying to Chion."

Guns are set to whack...

Chion hasn't been doing ANYTHING. This whole planning and leading lark doesn't seem to be his style.

"Come on, Wraith, go to your men, tell them to set their guns to...er...whack, and then get your ass over here!"

"Alright..." Wraith tells his men about the war games and tells them to set their guns to whack. He chooses a good spot for them to take positions. "Do your best. You won't die if you are hit, I don't think. What does whack setting do exactly?"

Galder hollers to his men as well, telling them to take positions. "Use only hand weapons! We do not want the authorities to know we are here!"

'Whack' setting feels like being hit over the head with a truncheon rather than a huge iron bar.

awh..well.....
Takuan gathers his followers for a force lesson, if they don't have to be anywhere now.

Kuylen, after arguing with Kuylen, seems top be pondering.

"It could take us months to successfully besiege the centre of the city," he says. "We'll need a better plan."

((I'm back! What's happening?!))

Oh gee! Errr... does someone else want to field that one? The Dark Siders have been having an unusally non-violent and learning badsed time of things. This is because things are due to get SUPER violent a little later on...

Dak, we've made friend with the Zeitonians, who would like to join us in taking over the Mausoleum. All Zeitonians can use the Force. Zeitonians are frog-like inhabitants of Zeiton, where the Mausoleum is.

Each Dark Sider has been bestowed the title of Captain, Kuylen is the General. Each Captain has a Zeitonian Leiutenant who uses a lightsaber, and a squad of 70 men.

Oh yeah, look back a few pages, Dak, you need to custom- design your army...

Whack and smash? Simpleton names... 😛

"Fire!" Galder orders his men to attack Wraith's group for training.
