Imperial Views: Into The Fog

[Cody_Ironpiper]

A few months after the first, The Imperial command sends a high ranking scientist (played by me) to the NML base. He must be allowed to finish his project, which would bring an end to the resistance.

But other things lurk in the background, things that may change everything...

Please make sure nothing to big happens to the scientist (unless i do it).

It had been a few months since I hired that Bounty Hunter to find my sister. He had a few leads here and there, but nothing came through. He had helped in other ways, finding a few criminals that had been eluding my station for a time, so I allowed him to keep searching.

I snapped back into reality suddenly. I began combing through papers on my desk, I have a lots of paperwork to do.

A knock came at my door, but before I could answer, it swung open and there stood Compass Le Roi. I swiftly stood up.

"Have you found anything?" I ask him.

"Three months of nothing but turmoil!!!!! After I talked to the bounty hunter he figured who I was! I mean he just looked at a wanted poster of me (which they got my nose totally wrong) and like that he decided I was a better target so he chased me. I slipped away, but that wasn't the end he has been after me this whole time. The question is when he will find me again..?"

It has been three months to the day since I rejoined the imperials. I had jumped through multiple jobs in my lifetime, but I always seemed to come back to this one, at this same base, the No Mans Landing base. I can't say that I enjoy this job. There aren't many "friends" in the empire. My only friend, Creel, was on the side I was fighting against. The Resistance. Sometimes I find myself wondering what would happen if we met again. Would we fight? Would I quit the empire again to join the Resistance?

Rex places his pen down on his table in his room. It was hard to think about Creel. They had a friendship no one could break. Almost no one.

It was almost morning now, and that meant time for work. Rex already had his uniform on. He opens his door to find an automaton outside about to knock.

"YOUR PRESENCE IS REQUIRED IN THE MAJOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, LIEUTENANT." The robotic voice tells Rex. He sighs.

"I'm on my way."

I was just getting back from a mission as I walk into the base. I sit down heavily. Even though I’m used to not getting sleep it has been three days since I have gotten even a wink of sleep. I rub the bridge of my nose as I have had a headache for the last 24 hours. The resistance has had me so busy that for the past few months I haven’t had time to think.

After a mission report and a long grueling day I finally make it back to my room to rest. I fall into my bed and look over at the clock 5:36 pm. I think I’ll just skip super and sleep instead. I think as I roll over and drift off into a dream.

Several hours later I wake up in a cold sweat and breathing heard. I had another bad dream. This time Lucky was chasing after me but when I turned around to look he had Rex. I begged lucky to let him go but instead he killed him slowly. I still heard his dying screams. As I see no point in going back to sleep I go over to my window and open it. As I sit with one leg in the seal and the other dangling out of the window I think about what has been going on. I haven’t seen Fits or Shimmy in a while and I haven’t seen Rex since that day coming back from Evercity. Don’t even get me started on Lilliana though. I saw her a couple weeks ago. It was from a distance but still. She knew I was there, somehow, because I got another bullet hole in my leg. So many pairs of my pants have been ruined because of her. This is why I can’t have dress pants. I sit there for a while longer just starting at the moon.

Just as Compass starts to speak, Rex also bursts in.

"Yes, Balkdash?" I raise my eyebrows. He sighs.

"Blackdash. It's Blackdash, no one gets my name right!" He exclaims.

"My apologies, Blackdash," I roll my eyes. "Now, what did you want?"

@James_Maxfeather

I looked at the girl I worked for. I waited a couple minutes before replying. "Some kids said..." the girl's friend burst in the room before I could finish. I cleared my throat before speaking up before Blackdash could reply. "As I was saying! Some kids said they saw her somewhere but they didn't give me a location or the date they saw her." I gulped down some water out of a flask I had tied to my belt. I wiped my whiskers I was growing on my face before shuffling my feet nervously.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

~The Viper~

"What do you mean they didn't give you the date or time? Why didn't you get it?? They are kids, it shouldn't be that hard to get information out of them! Or at least bring them here, if they were so keen on not talking, I'm sure you know that I would be able to persuade them!" I growl at Compass. "I order you to bring them to this base immediately, unless you can get the exact time and location before you arrive back here!"

@James_Maxfeather

[James_Maxfeather]

I looked up at my boss startled. 'They... they..." I couldn't speak properly. "They... got..." I looked down at my muddy boots. "shot... I had no time on keeping them alive. Their wounds were too fatal. I was too late. I failed once again." I help back tears of discouragement and failure.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

~The Viper~

"What?! What do you mean shot? Who killed them? Answer me!" I exlciam in a harsh tone.

[James_Maxfeather]

"I don't know!" I snapped back. "They were on a rooftop. I tried to see who it was but the sun was too bright! whoever it was was probably following me for some time now. The kid was standing in front of me! I'm sure they were trying to shoot me not the kid. I could do absolutely NOTHING! NOTHING! I'm nothing! I'm nothing but a failure! Why don't you just shoot me!? huh? why!?" I slammed my fist on the door frame, slightly breaking it. I suddenly froze in my place. my boss' face turned red as she jump over her desk and pinned me to the door frame.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

(ooc, okay, I had something else in mind for my actions, but, okay I literally burst out laughing tho )

~The Viper~

"I will not have anyone speak to like that! Ever!" I snarl. I push myself away from him. "You find the sniper, you get the information I want, and then terminate him. Or better yet, I'll do it myself. He deserves it after what he did."

Silence

"I'm waiting," I say to Compass, tapping my foot.

[James_Maxfeather]

(occ. haha! I'm glad I made you laugh. Compass is a VERY shy kid who just wants to please people in charge of him. yet, he does lash out in anger sometimes.)

I swallowed. "Yes ma'am. sorry ma'am. it won't happen again. I'll start investigating who he is. Can I be excused ma'am?"

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

~The Viper~

I exhale and loosen my shoulders.

"Yes, excused," I say, regaining my calmness. "Please just find my sister."

[James_Maxfeather]

"Yes ma'am. thank you ma'am." I said hurrying out of the room.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

~The Viper~

I walk back to my desk and sit back down, Blackdash looking at me terrified.

"Now, what did you want?" I say tilting my head, acting like nothing had just happened.

@Rex_Blackdash

[Rex_Blackdash]

Blackdash regains his calm features. "A pacifier told me that you were the one that wanted me here."

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

~The Viper~

"Oh, right. I've been a bit preoccupied at the moment..." I say glancing away. "I'm still waiting for Rook to get here, I need to tell him something too."

[Cody_Ironpiper]

Rook walks casually into the room.
"You asked for me."
Rook had given up on Viper's sister long ago.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

~The Viper~

"Lucky called me. He is sending a scientist here, he didn't give me much information, but he needs protection I believe and a quite place to work. I would like the both of you to observe him, make sure things go as plan. Understand?" I tell Rook and Blackdash.
