USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE II (DARK SIDE)- In the Coils of the Serpent

"Okay then. Well, if that's all... sir?" Tanic asks, a slight sarcastc undertone to his voice, as he looks at Rand, "I'd like to get some rest, and explore this empire of the mountain."

As he waits for an answer, he suddenly thinks of something,
"Doon, do you know which sub-sectors the Serpent is most active in?"

"The rim on the part of the Republic directly opposite to Hutt Space; why?"

"Then we will have to wipe them out," Rand says. "Not without caution, however. This is to be an extraction, not a miniature war, after all."

"Miniature wars get attention, as we all know by now. And the Kuylen veterans should know better than anyone."

"And we certainly do not want to attract any unwanted attention. So we have to plan this out carefully." Rianna adds.

"With the utmost caution I'm sure." Galder cocks the submachine gun (it'll look like a futuristic MP-40 just for style...). "But sounds like the only problem we'll face will be the Lantarnans. Our skill will blow through their defenses quickly, and then we'll cut them down..."

"Well, of course with caution; we're supposed to be sneaking into this base where there will be countless people opposed to us to steal this tablet, I don't think parading in carelessly will get us very far." Rianna responded. "And while I agree that we shouldn't have too much a problem with their defenses, remember how much trouble we got in when we underestimated the Osokans. To that end, I think we should find out all the information we can about the Ghost Citadel and the Lantarnans so we can form a plan."

"Well, sounds like we won't be getting any more information from Doon, here, miss!" Galder reminds, examining the barrel of the gun, then remembering to turn on the safety before looking down the barrel. "And we won't be able to do very much spying on their base! I don't want heavy hallucinations in my future."

Rand takes note of Tanic's sarcasm.

I have been his mentor for a year or so, now... he thinks, launching into paranoia. Tanic and Rianna seem to outgrow me as we sit here...

"Maybe that is a risk we'll have to take, Galder," Rand says. "I have every intention of finding out all that we can about the Ghost Citadel of the Golden Serpent before we begin our heist."

"I meant if there was a possibility of any other source of information we could possibly use, though there probably isn't. Hallucinations wouldn't be very helpful...and watch where you're pointing that gun, Galder." Rianna says, rolling her eyes.

"I know how to handle my own guns, Miss Xi," Galder says, rolling his eyes back at her. "Firearms and lightsabers are my profession, after all."

"Hallucinations are unavoidable I know- just wait til I'm shooting at imaginary targets!- but I would like to avoid having more mirages appear than necessary!"

"No other way but the plants, huh Doon? Why not hardcore suits?"

"He wouldn't have suggested the plants if there was an alternative, Galder," Rand says. "You will deal with it, or I'll send you to that moon without the plant..."

"Even if suits were a possibility, they'd probably hamper our movement, which would certainly not help us any." Rianna replied.

"As if I would let you anyway..." Galder grumbles, testing to see if the safety was working by aiming the SMG up into the air. He pulled the trigger and loud cracks sounded...the sound of a working safety.

"I need to thank Kuylen for this when I see him..."

"If there's enough supplies it may be worth us taking the drug now so that we can start getting used to the effects before we get to the ghost citadel." Rah suggests

Takuan agrees.

"I agree with Rah. If there's enough, that is."

"How would you feel having to wonder around your own headquarters in an environment suit?" asks Doon. "That being the case, you guys would be a tiny bit out of place there in them. Nor would you be able to eat or drink for any significant period.

"I am afraid there aren't enough supplies, Rah. I can get you one day in advance and no more, and that is how long it takes to have an effect anyway."

"why don't they generate artificial atmosphere to accomodate their need. instead of being drugged all the time..."

but i know the answer to that:
" it's because i needed a plot reason to get you all high! and the plant does it! "

that it? 😛

Hah! 😂
