A star fell against the perpetually inky sky.Truthfully it should have gone unnoticed, but change was rare in these parts, and even the slightest alteration was picked up on by the students. Several pressed themselves against the glass which typically gave little more than a view to the icy wastelands, and from across the room Meri could not help but lift her head in curiosity.
Down it streaked, getting closer to their position until there seemed to be a very real threat of it crashing into them. Every muscle in her body tensed to the sight of it and yet... Nobody else seemed concerned.
"Settle down, this instance..."
The sharp voice of their tutor drew the attention of all the youngsters, and without needing to be warned twice they hurried back to their seats and fixed their gaze ahead. Swiveling back in her chair she looked towards the tutor with a small frown. But, if their superiors were not concerned then they had no cause to be, right?
"Turn on your datapads, today's worksheet should be available for you there." After a brief pause, and a frown, the tutor looked directly at Meri and gestured her forth. Though most would not have noticed it, there was a slight shift in the air prior to this, and the young girl knew that the Force was at play. An unseen message, perhaps.
"Return to your room, girl."
'But..."
A sharp glare held her tongue, and she merely nodded her head. Returning to her desk she hastily packed up her things before exiting the classroom without another word. Thankfully the dorms were not so far from where she had been learning this day, so within a few minutes she was safely behind closed doors. A door which, she quickly noticed, had been remotely locked behind her.
She glared at the red light, tested the door and found that it would not budge.
Had she done something wrong?
Meri began to pace, walking back and forth within what limited space there was, settling her backpack beside the desk at some point.
What was the meaning of all this?
