As I stepped past the main entrance and into a foyer of sorts, I paused for a moment to gather myself. There was an empty help desk to the right and a waiting lounge area to the left. Directly ahead of me was a sealed door, guarded by a uniformed security guard on the far side. As I walked furthe...
2023-08-09 15:27:38 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as I wanted to spend some time sitting in the lounge area of the Talos Chariot, I ended up back in the Dark Blade’s passenger bay almost immediately after showing Vaz around the ship, including the large empty room at the back of the top deck, which I definitely ...
2023-08-07 14:45:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, welcome to August, I hope you enjoyed your July! Attached it the next five chapters of Last Resort: The Road Home. I hope you enjoy!
I quickly climbed the entry ramp into the shuttle, picking up speed as I did. As I stepped into the ship, the ramp started sliding up, the internal systems already working overtime to clean out the horrible poison in the air. I looked around and immediately rushed through the 2023-07-31 13:24:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Ahsoka could literally feel people watching her as she made her way out of the hangar and deeper into the tunnels of Thila command. The Force sang with curiosity as she walked, the people around her wondering just who she was and why she had been given such quick access to the high-level hangar b...
2023-07-28 15:03:18 +0000 UTC View PostWhen our patrol week in Japan ended, we returned home with a generally poor mood suffusing the two teams. We had spent most of our time in and around Tokyo since that was where Mauser had ended and spent the most time during his rampage. It was disheartening, to say the least, to inspect and inve...
2023-07-26 14:44:52 +0000 UTC View PostIt took us about twenty minutes to cover the distance back to the dome, primarily because as we got closer, we started being extra careful about not being seen. Luckily, the edge of the dome had a deceptively large ferrocrete lip that ran around the entire circumference. It was easily three times...
2023-07-24 13:29:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! So, my most recent public posting of Battlemage has received quite a bit of push back for the Spice arc. Some of the complaints I can understand, others not so much. I have had a few complaints on here as well, as the Spice arc has unfolded, both in comments and in PM, enough so t...
2023-07-22 13:31:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe drive to the checkpoint, as well as the stop-and-start traffic before it, was nerve-wracking, tense, and aggravating. For a few a while we were even partially convinced we were going in the wrong direction, probably because we were stuck in the dark trying to guess where the driver was turnin...
2023-07-21 15:25:52 +0000 UTC View PostDuring the time that Deacon has been away, the rest of the team has been looking for them. However, Miru has had a lot of down time. What has she been working on?
2023-07-20 02:50:27 +0000 UTC View PostI quickly rushed back to the manhole we entered through, launching myself almost two-thirds up the ladder with a pillar of stone before climbing the rest and emerging into the street. I winced at the brightness, looking around, trying to spot M'gann, Fire, and Garth. A blast of green flame came u...
2023-07-19 15:26:58 +0000 UTC View PostSo, not to long ago you all voted for Ahsoka Tano to be the focus of the next interlude, after choosing the Rebels as the next group. I also stated that Hera Syndulla would not be a part of it. However, as I have been planning the chapter, I very quickly came to the conclusion that the best count...
2023-07-18 20:19:41 +0000 UTC View PostWe drove for a while, crossing the gap between the prison mine and the rest of the city built under the energy dome's protection. Eventually, we made our way into an industrial district surrounding the mine in a crescent moon shape. Space was clearly a premium under the dome, but the gap still to...
2023-07-17 15:13:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe three of us slowly made our way down the long halls of the facility, with my armor fully charged. As we walked, I summoned a familiar, letting him run ahead whenever we came to a corner or an intersection. For the first two, nothing happened, but on the third, the "ambush" we were waiting for...
2023-07-14 15:10:39 +0000 UTC View PostOur day went by slowly, patrolling the area directly around the large estate, keeping an eye on anything suspicious while doing our best to remain unseen, by both the owners and anyone looking to steal the gem. We patrolled around the home, keeping our eyes peeled and occasionally switching the g...
2023-07-12 15:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, I just wanted to make a post and explain that I will not be posting anything in August second or fourth. I've discovered that shifting things around for vacations and trips only makes things more stressful as I have to plan, write extra and do a lot of extra work to keep up with m...
2023-07-11 03:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostA short conversation was all it took to decide that there wasn't much reason to wait at this point. I would have given my left arm to know the guard's schedules, shift changes, or even just how many of the bastards there were in the building at once. Unfortunately, with how strict they were with ...
2023-07-10 15:27:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello! So I am going on a trip for the weekend, and rather than rely on spotty WiFi, I decided to post the Friday chapter early. Please enjoy!

2023-07-06 18:30:43 +0000 UTC View PostYou guys decided pretty decisively that you wanted the next interlude be from the perspective of a rebel, so here are your options.
I also just want to reiterate, primarily for the first option, that this is an amalgam, combined version of Legends and Disney. For some people/stories/things ...
2023-07-06 18:27:48 +0000 UTC View Post"So Kaldur sees the barrier and immediately tries to break through it," Tula explained, clearly holding back a laugh. "Meanwhile, Garth, he tried to attack it like a riddle, working along the edges, trying to figure out a weak spot."
The five of us, Kaldur, Tula, Garth, M'gann, and I, were ...
2023-07-05 14:37:26 +0000 UTC View PostTatnia and I spent a few minutes asking Vaz questions, which she answered as best she could. She was patient with us for a while but eventually had enough, climbing onto the bunk above Tatnia and almost instantly falling asleep.
During our talk, our first and probably most important questio...
2023-07-03 15:11:23 +0000 UTC View PostSo gonna try something a little different, you have three factions to choose from, once you guys settle on one I will make a new poll letting you pick specifics from that faction. Oh, and the interlude will most likely take place around or during the spice mine arc, but be "published" after.

2023-07-01 18:54:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe process of mining out the spice veins was simple but grueling. According to Azyter, the Togruta working on the same platform was the process's first step. We would mine into the stone, following the lines of medi...
2023-06-30 15:16:01 +0000 UTC View PostA lot had changed in the last few months, and quite a few of those changes started with everyone returning from the mentorship and vacation week.
Kaldur arrived back from his trip earlier than we had expected, accompanied by both of his friends, Garth and Tula. He introduced them as his boy...
2023-06-28 15:25:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I next woke up, it was to the unfortunate sensation of someone kicking me in the side. The deep, full-body ache that I felt from being initially stunned in that old woman's house wasn't present, which I idly noted in the back of my mind probably meant that what our jailer used to knock us ou...

The personality trait poll worked way better than I had hoped, and the result is that our new crew member is calm, professional and focused...
2023-06-23 15:13:46 +0000 UTC View Post"What?" I asked, looking around with a confused expression. "Are you sure they are coming for us?"
"Yes! They have rough images of you two and your descriptions!" Miru said, nearly shouting now. "You need to get out of there!"
Tatnia, who had leaned in to listen when I had started loo...
2023-06-23 14:52:30 +0000 UTC View PostSo, just to keep it clear, this is a time skip, its only a handful of months, and the next chapter is a much more in-depth dive into what has been going on. Hope you enjoy!
