[b]Part I: Coming Home[/b]
[i]A ship enters the dock bay, one belonging to the sith Draxis who quickly goes to another location on the ship whilst another passenger exits its confines. It is Ëlent, cloak jet black but torn and ragged revealing inner black layering of stretchy metal cloth substance beneath. As soon as the ship had arrived the dark anomalies or 'Watchers' the crew named them had disappeared instantly. Ëlent walked to the war room and contacted the commander for call if he could come, Ëlent spoke over the systems comm.[/i]
"All warrior class crew mates please report to the war room immediately, I repeat all warrior class crew mates report to the war room."
[i]Ëlent has no wisp about him it seems, the shadowy darkness has seemed to be missing and now an exhausted heap slumps into a chair and waits, they couldn't know... Or they might attack him for it...[/i]

[b]Sam walks into the war room, confused.[/b]
-
"Finally another one... Can you explain why no one answered my distress signal?... Why has no one bothered to try and find Jupiter?..."
-
[b]He conceals a beer bottle behind his back casually.[/b] "Uhh... I dunno."
-
"I know you have that odd intoxicating drug with you... Everyone does in this damned crew... You all drink while shadow... I mean I look for Jupiter and try to save a colony... My distress signal, it was not for my own sake but to have assistance fighting an enemy I had a fear of reawakening.. Seventy million innocent lives... Wiped out, a whole colony, a species... Like the city you had seen destroyed but on a more massive scale...."
-
"Listen, I've done enough world saving for a week."
-
"And what about the others? What about the rise in darkness mmm? You tell me this does not exist when you have angels and Demons about..."
-
"It exists, but why is it my job to stop it?"
-
"Everyone here does not become a hero to others but only to create a harem for themselves... I sacrificed something for those people...... Who knows if it will come back." [b]The lights are on and reflect shadows about the room including yours... Except Ëlent seems to be missing his...[/b]
-
[b]He begins to back away.[/b] "Your shadow..."
-
*looks down* "... You can't tell anyone... But that was my sacrifice... My partner was taken from me..."
-
I walk in "What are we doing now?"
-
*a less eerie looking Ëlent than before sits up in the command seat* "How long does it take the crew to hear my call... Where are the others? This is urgent."
-
"Given this team... Probably a couple of hours."
-
"Seventy million people died yesterday on Draksis... Not just a city this time the entire planet wiped out completely."
-
I whistle "Quite the extinction."
-
"And no one here came to aid me.. Everyone drunk.."
-
[b]Draxis heads back to his ship[/b]
-
[b]Ëlent enters your mind and speaks[/b] "Where are you off to now misguided one?.. The crew will not believe me when I speak of the colony you and I witnessed die... Aren't you worried of those creatures, the one you fought? You had to exert great power to destroy it..."
-
"I must think... now be gone" [b]you are forced out of his mind[/b]
