STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Broken

When you do so, Rianna jerks her head back in shock and then frowns... but her eyes are closed. She is indeed sleepwalking. Her face relaxes and she turns forward again, walking into the lounge at the center of the ship.

Someone's coming, Vera.

Unsure if Rianna is merely dreaming or dreaming, Vera-Kin will use Sense to locate the incoming person and then observe who they are before speaking to them, thinking that maybe there is an intruder.

It's only Colby, coming from the loo. He sees you both with your lightsabers in hand and stops in his tracks.

"What's happening?" Colby asks, eyeing Rianna warily.

"She's asleep," Vera-Kin tells Colby. "Though I'd be careful. I'm not sure what she's doing or seeing. I think she might be having a dream..."

Rianna snaps on her lightsaber, her eyes remaining closed. She is facing Colby.

"You shouldn't have come after me," she mumbles in a dry, sullen tone. "Why did you come after me, Myraline?"

"Uh, Vera-Kin..." Colby starts to back away slowly.

When Rianna does that, Vera-Kin activates her own lightsaber.

"Rianna, wake up!" Vera-Kin shouts. "This is a dream you're having, wake up!"

She does not have time to contemplate what Rianna has uttered. She hopes to shortly.

She speaks to you without turning away from Colby.

"Shut up, Rand, she's mine!" Rianna snarls.

With that, she raises her lightsaber to strike Colby before he can get away...

Vera-Kin responds to her disturbingly aggressive attitude and strike at Colby by using the Force to push the pilot backward and out of the reach of Rianna's lightsaber. As she does this she puts herself between Colby and Rianna, fending off whatever lightsaber attacks Rianna follows up with.

When she gets the chance, she will use the Force to rip the lightsaber from Rianna's grasp, hoping that her greatly superior talent with the Force will suffice to disarm the girl.

"Snap out of it!" Vera-Kin shouts.

Vera-Kin leaps into action! A subtle push in the Force sends Colby stumbling backward just in time for Rianna's lightsaber to pass through the space where he had been standing. He crashes into the wall behind him.

Rianna's next swing crackles against Vera-Kin's own, the lightsabers meeting in a flash.

It is at this point that Rianna wakes... you had been seeing your vision again, having come to the part where Myraline arrives and Rand appears... you are startled to find yourself holding your lightsaber, and even more so startled when it is pulled from your hand by Vera-Kin (who rolled five successes to do so).

"What the bloody hell?!" Colby shouts, holding his strained back.

Rianna looks around her in confused shock, and stumbles backwards, away from the two.

"What...what just happened?" she asks.

"You crazy wench!" Colby yells. "You almost carved me a new hole is what happened!"

Your theories on why that just happened are welcome, Rianna...

"You were dreaming," Vera-Kin says, firmly, "and acting it out, I suspect. What were you dreaming about, Rianna?"

Vera-Kin does not tell Rianna what she said because she wants the Knight to be blatantly honest with her. Something is wrong.

Rianna takes another step back, and turns to face away from Colby and Vera-Kin. She would prefer to not tell Vera-Kin what she was dreaming about, since she never shared the end of her vision, but doesn't think the small Master would let her refuse this time.

"My vision...it's been haunting me since we got here. It came to me again yesterday, and had melded with the one I had five years ago about Beseedra...and then I dreamt about it again tonight, but it was...wrong. Rand appeared, and Myraline, and...I don't know what is going on," she finally manages to say, leaning against the wall.

And why is this happening? Because she's keeping this all to herself because she's distrustful of everyone around her (and for good reason) and it's making her unstable 😛

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. The longer Rianna keeps all of that fear and guilt for something she hasn't done yet bottled up, the more unstable she is going to become.

Vera-Kin, of course, now has sneaking suspicions. Rianna was clearly attacking Myraline in her vision, Vera. That sends up several red flags in your books.

"You were attacking Myraline in your dream, were you not?" Vera-Kin asks. "Tell me what's going on, Rianna. What about your dream has been haunting you?"

Vera-Kin keeps a firm hold on the lightsaber that Myraline loaned to Rianna.

"I...don't know. It just won't leave me alone. Last night when I woke up, I had dreamt that Myraline and Ciira had been following us and attacked me. I don't know why this is happening. I don't know why I had that dream, or why Myraline or Rand appeared in my dream tonight and that happened. I don't even know why Rand has any interest in me to begin with - and from what Myraline told me, he has since I first became a Padawan," Rianna replies. "Why me?"

"Only Rand knows the answer to that," Vera-Kin says. "Are you sure you have told me everything about your dream?"

"All that I recall...I just wish this would stop," Rianna says. With that, she's going to turn and head back into the sleeping quarters, though I don't think she'll try to go back to sleep.

Rianna continues to maintain her secrecy about her vision, then. She tries to go back to sleep but is only met with her vision assailing her, preventing her from doing so.

Vera-Kin watches quietly and suspiciously when she finally returns to bed herself.

The next morning comes... you have a short time before the rally is to begin. Hirget sends a message asking Rianna to simply meet Nehmen enroute, whereas Vera-Kin is to come to the Fort to meet her soldiers.

Rianna shall head to meet up with Nehmen, then, and see what plans he may have for what could happen.
