Part 3

Buck followed Twiki and Wilma down the corridors marveling at the speed which the small robot had. It maneuvered down the hallway with ease, moving past people with the moves of a human, whoever had programmed the robot did a great job.

“I take it you know where we’re going?” Buck finally asked as they turned another corner inside some building, the shuttle had no windows so he had no idea where on Earth he was aside from their say so.

“Of course,” Wilma replied, looking back at him.

“Just asking, hate to get lost in a place I have no idea where I am,” Buck replied back to her.

“Here we are,” Wilma said as they arrived at a door. She opened it with touch and motioned for Buck to enter.

He motioned for her to enter first trying to be civil with her. Continue reading…

Part 2

Buck tried to get comfortable on the ‘bed’, if one could call it that, a slab of, something, with almost no padding. Perhaps that is what they used, if so it was highly uncomfortable and probably was the cause of their grumpiness, lack of a good night’s sleep.

He stretched out a bit, wondering what might happen next as the door slide open to reveal two more of the aliens standing there. They were both pointing their weapons at him as they looked at each other.

“Come along,” one said, surprising Buck that he even spoke.

Standing up he made his way over following along as they went down a few corridors, then up an elevator and finally down one more corridor. Neither of them spoke and Buck decided to stay quiet as well not wanting to make another mistake.

“Through here,” the guard said, opening a door allowing him to go through. Continue reading…

Part 1

The spaceship floated in space near orbit of Earth as Captain William ‘Buck’ Rogers went through the check list making sure everything was ready for the test flight. The first test of an experimental warp engine which, hopefully, would take him to the orbit of Mars in a couple of minutes.

Buck felt nervous, yet excited at the same time at the flight, something he had trained for the past five years. He looked over a few more gauges to make sure everything looked good.

“Set engines to maximum power,” mission control said.

Buck flipped the switch watching the power readings. “Engine power set to maximum, all systems green,” Buck replied back to them.

“Confirmed Enterprise,” mission control replied. “Mission is a go in five minutes.” Continue reading…

The Chu’unthor Incident

by AJ Marks

Part 9

“Something’s wrong,” Bri said pacing around the room. She was feeling something from Xara and she knew that it was not good. She turned to see her former teacher and master but he was sitting patiently waiting for everyone to return.

“Patience we must have, this path must be completed,” he said feeling the ‘Dark’ side course through the air. Someone was reaching deep down into the ‘Dark’ side of the Force, but who and why he just did not know. With the fact that Bri was upset he was almost tempted to let her go and find Xara.

“Forgive me Master Yoda, but I have some bad news,” Markus said running into the room. He looked terrible and both Yoda and Bri knew that the news was not good. Something had happened.

The two looked at Yoda’s padawan as he formulated the words to tell them what he had discovered; actually it had been Osti who had discovered it. Continue reading…

The Chu’unthor Incident

Part 8

Xara walked down the hallway looking for the Sissisian that had talked with her earlier in the day. Rounding one corner she saw him standing with a couple of others. She watched him wondering if the people he was talking to were part of the kidnappers or not.

The Sissisian concluded his talk and walked away laughing. Xara watched as he approached where she was standing in the shadows. When he was close enough she grabbed his shoulder.

Eppis was startled when a hand spun him around and he was concerned for a second until he saw who it was. It was the tall dark clothed Jedi he had talked with earlier.

“You have good timing, I’ve arranged a meeting with my boss for tonight,” Eppis said to Xara.

“Then I’ll be able to meet with this person,” Xara said in a bored tone. “And I’ll finally understand why my master wanted me to come here.” Continue reading…

Part 7

King Hevon watched as Master Yoda walked into his chamber. He wondered if the Jedi had gotten any leads yet. His own intelligence had failed at trying to find the location of his daughter. They also did not know why the group had kidnapped her either or why they had demanded what they did.

“I heard that you wanted to talk with me Master Yoda,” the king said.

“Yes update you I wanted to,” Yoda said.

“Have you found my daughter,” he asked as he slightly rose up in his chair.

“Not yet, working on that part we are. Feel another group is behind this,” Yoda said then asking a question. “Is there anyone who has been hostile lately to your people?”

“No one that I can think of, that is a question for my military commanders, they would have a much better understanding of who and specific threats made against the kingdom. I only have a report f it is deemed important,” the king replied. Continue reading…

Part 6

The shuttle descended down through a thick atmosphere with very little bumps along the way for the passengers as it headed towards a large landing platform. There were several people around the platform waiting for the shuttle to land to begin their jobs.

On the platform waited another vehicle to transport their guests to meet with King Hevon who was expecting them. The pilot did a perfect job of landing the craft and within moments of landing the doors had opened.

Yoda led the group of seven Jedi and one non-Jedi down the platform to the waiting group. The Sissisian waiting for them was not expecting so many people and wondered what was going on.

“Master Jedi Yoda,” the Sissisian said as Yoda approached him. Continue reading…

Part 5

Finding Yoda proved to be harder than they thought, but with so many places that one could be neither woman knew that it would be easy. Yoda was not in his room, so the next place they had checked was the closest meditation room, and he was not in there either. Xara was about to head back to their quarters when she saw Master Kint.

“Excuse me Master Kint,” Xara said walking over to where the man was standing.

“Ah, hello there Xara, and how are you doing Master Bri?” The older Jedi Master asked as he noticed who had called him and a grin broke out on his face.

“I’m doing well, thanks for asking Master Kint,” Bri replied glad that he asked.

“We were wondering if you’ve seen Master Yoda recently,” Xara asked hoping that the Jedi had seen him.

“Why yes I have, I was just talking with him, he’s in training room C,” Kint replied.

“Thank you,” Xara said as they made their way to the training room. Continue reading…

The Chu’unthor Incident

Part 4

Xara slowly became aware of her surroundings as consciousness slowly crept back in. Her entire body felt drained like she had ever felt before. She could feel Bri’s weight still on her chest and opened her eyes to see the strawberry-blonde head that was tucked against her. She could feel the rise and fall of Bri’s chest and she honestly thought that she could hear Bri’s heart beating. It was a strange sensation.

Glancing around the hastily constructed room she noticed that nothing had changed from when she had first gotten in bed. She idly rubbed Bri’s back for a while wondering when the younger woman would come back to consciousness. It was then she started to feel a bit hungry, and eyed the drink on the stand near her. The only problem was in order to get to it she would have to disturb Bri.

Xara felt Bri stir a little and looked down as green eyes opened that refused to focus for several seconds.

“Ugh.” Bri mumbled as she tried to focus on Xara’s face. She felt completely wiped out and her ribs hurt like a herd of nerfs ran over her. She dropped her head back down and let herself feel the warmth of Xara’s body underneath her and centering her for a few minutes. Continue reading…

Part 3

Xara finished her meal even thought the handcuffs did make it a bit harder than usual, but she managed to finish without spilling anything. At first there were a few stares at her, but most were from the younger crowd, which she realized would stare at anything unusual. The others who did she figured were the one who would have to be convinced of her innocence. She really was not that concerned about it, but there was always a possibility that something else could go wrong no matter what the plan was.

Xara picked up her plate when Yoda was also done and they put their dishes up. She knew that the time had come for the trial to begin.

“Who’s the judge of the trial?” Xara finally asked now that they were on their way.

“I am.” Yoda replied and Xara almost stumbled a bit at the news. “Only member of the council here I am, my responsibility.” Yoda said clarifying his position.

“So why the trial.” Xara asked if Yoda thought she was not guilty she was not sure why they would go through the trial. Continue reading…
