The Force Wills - Chapter 153
Having actual downtime was a rare event for Anakin.
Between the constant missions, briefings, Council summons, his GAR generalship, flimsiwork and training Ahsoka, it was a small miracle to even find any time to eat during a typical day.
Now with his padawan under the temporary guidance of Master Damsin, he found himself with some daily free time in his schedule.
He walked the...

“Later, Hollow, there’s still a station to clean up.”
Johnny gave a long look at the horror of torn and amalgamated bodies, globules of crimson blood and chrome fluid floating outward from the mass. He shook his head and turned away, his vacsuit thrusters puffing as he pushed himself into the spoke.
“Matsui… Matsui… Kaori!” I shook her by the shoulder.
S...

Our speeder hummed through the skies above Coruscant’s sixth sublevel.
No matter how long I’ve lived on this world, a tiny part of me still cringes at the thought of venturing into the sublevels. The thought of how much sheer mass was suspended above me never failed to produce a frisson of angst in my spine that wouldn’t go away. Level 6 was still well in the ‘secured’ zone of t...

If there was one place in the Jedi Temple that I could lose hours and hours in, then it was the Jedi Archives.
Seemingly endless racks of softly blue glowing data slates arranged on multiple levels, with each rack having its own historic artifact display encased in transparisteel or a bust of some famous Jedi of the past. It somehow managed to encapsulate the feeling of an ancient library...

Getting raked over the coals by the sovereign of your star nation was not an experience I cared to repeat.
It was something that Satine definitely needed. After days of living with the worry of her son’s safety, only for her to be used as a human shield by her own Interior Minister, then revealing his treachery…
So both Streng and I became the verbal punching bags for her ...

Finding out who had put out the hit on Hands was proving to be a headache.
I didn’t really expect anyone who walked in the ‘major leagues’ to be easily found, but every search string I went down ran into dead end after dead end.
The mercs hired for the gig weren’t NC natives and came all the way from Austin. All three were vets from the Texan Army, which explained the milita...

Leaving the hidden Separatist facility was decidedly more exciting than getting in had been.
Korkie and Jhaveb carried the unconscious, traitorous Sergeant Kast between them and the squad took the air on jetpack straight into the cavern and flew towards the lava tube exit.
Ahsoka had set the timer on the detonator charges for a mere eight minutes.
“Any longer and we give the...

My left lightsaber flew through the air in a blur, perfectly intercepting the exotic violet plasma bolt that streaked straight towards Korkie’s face.
The bolt didn’t deflect.
It exploded in a mess of ichor corrupted plasma that kept on going and landing on Korkie’s armor that began corroding away at it. The beskar did its usual job, but the plasma that re...

The neck of the commando droid was severed cleanly, making interfacing with a logic spike from my wrist quite easy.
What wasn’t easy was actually pulling any intelligible data. These were elite, expensive droids and they were built with anti-tamper safeguards on a hardware and software level. The internal self-destructs were mostly in a commando droid’s body, but there was a single ch...

If there was one thing you could appreciate about Night City, it was the convenience and all the options of getting quickly from A to B.
Between the Metro, self-driving cars that came to you and AVs, the transport factor for gigs was almost an irrelevant consideration, unless you were doing a false flag gig that required you to use specific wheels with a gang’s markings or you were fair...

The hiss of the brig doors opening brought me out of my meditation.
Calling it a brig was a slight misnomer as it could be mistaken for an economy class cabin aboard the Aurodium Star minus a few conveniences like the ability to leave or use the entertainment systems. It was mostly used as a drunk tank for guests who had generally overindulged.
Captain Tommir Hathen of Core...

Setting a new record getting into my beskar’gam had not been intentional at all.
It had been made to quickly get in, but this was the first time I’d used a minor Force Jump combined with Speed to get my legs in.
‘I take it this an emergency, mistress,’ said M8 wryly. The poor thing had been frightfully bored on this mission so far. ...

No, as much as he wanted to distance himself from events on Abafar - he was Gregor as well. The commander had warned him about denial - as much as he wished the last year hadn’t happened.
He was Captain Gregor, Foxtrot Company of the GAR’s Special Operations Brigade. Despite all the blood and sweat of the harsh training on Kamino with Mandalorian instruc...

My return to Tycho City was neatly expedited by Mitsubishi.
Instead of having to wait days for a scheduled suborbital hop, they wanted their gravium shipment ASAP and forked out the eddies to send their own cargo ship to Tranquility.
Such was their hurry, that by the time I arrived at Tranquility Base, I had no time to explore the lunar tourist town that had grown around the old Apo...

“Try increasing the capacitance here, R2.”
The astromech prodded the tool into the rear maintenance panel of the disabled B2. We had already finished working on the other one I had disabled, but this one was proving a problem.
We had to leave the com vault exactly as we had found it, and this whole mission would be for naught if we left behind two clearly disabled B2s that...

My breathing was harsh and deep.
Hissing through my teeth as I resisted with all my might.
Resisting the plunge, to give in to the assault writhing its way from below, through every nerve and rushing into my brain.
I looked down from only seeing an endless night sky, partially obscured by nearby artificial lighting.
Beyond my breasts, which were rising, falling, shifting...

The Ansion star was growing ever larger in the viewscreen.
Approaching it at a fraction of lightspeed, an escape pod that was now tumbling out of control.
I stood in the centre of the Lucrehulk’s bridge, which Durge had apparently named the Bloodmaul. It was just so typical of the bloodthirsty bastard, reflecting his savage, relentless nature along with his penchant for d...

“So how are you feeling V?”
I looked rather incredulously at Dr. Njeri as she stood over me with a tablet in hand.
My body was lying on a bed with more scanning equipment inside it than most labs could boast, jacked into a diagnostic computer that was giving every nanometer of the Gemini a thorough analysis against my baseline.
“Doc, given the scans you’re throwi...

“Padawan Tano, while I normally would never question the commanding Jedi of the Crucible on a training mission, in this case-”
I turned away from the forward viewer showing the ventral hull of the Reaver, as it had clamped itself onto the dorsal of the Crucible, beyond that was the much slower spiralling of hyper, representing the added mass that the pirate ...
