Dar'manda Jetii

[Cathul Thuku]

Abregado-Rae. Because of the sheer amount of injured and refugees from the Atrisia Campaign, Therapy Command has done virtually nothing but cure patients from the main theater for weeks on end. There were so many of them that Inysh and Dahrtag couldn't handle all of them, with some patients on Dulvoyinn and Abregado-Rae, some of them were taken even as far as Fondor. And somehow, amid this tireless medical campaign, a bounty was posted on its commanding officer. Oh, she used to be alor'ad of Clan Lok, and also Governor of Azure, but by resigning from the latter, abusing an improper channel to do so, she was also stripped from the former. And declared dar'manda. One of Cathul's officers, the chief security officer, showed her the bounty posting. One million credits for me, that's a lot of credits for some rather trivial crime that caused no real damage, she thought.

"Admiral, there is a bounty on your head. The last Mando that came here was a combatant in the Atrisia Campaign that was injured, and we treated her without objections, but beware of uninjured Mandos in the future"

"On what grounds did they post a bounty on me?"

"They say you barged in on the Alor'utai, causing a breach of honor, but that you otherwise pose no real threat"

"It was an abuse of an improper channel to communicate my resignation as Governor of Azure. But this crime is not enough to make me hate Mandalorians, nor is it serious enough to warrant killing me, no more than it would warrant a million-credit bounty. They said it so themselves that I pose no real threat. They will probably let me live but 1) heavily tortured and 2) banned from Mandalorian space"

The bounty is disproportionate to the crime committed, she thought. It might be because they assumed that she was a regular vice-admiral in the Alliance navy, it might be because she used to be the Governor of Azure and alor'ad of the clan controlling Azure, but she estimates that her station is responsible for the size of the bounty: higher-ranking criminals tend to have higher bounties, when controlled for their crimes. A Mandalorian commoner that commits a similar crime would probably get a bounty in the 10-20k range or perhaps as high as 50k. It seems that who commits the crime is a factor in calculating the bounty.

A bounty, it showed you messed up somewhere or rubbed someone the wrong way for them to warrant a notice for other who hunted bounties to chase you, sometimes for fun sometimes for money

Stardust had been on the holo net looking around at a few things, immediately she had a bounty catch her eye, she read it over as her smile grew more and more each moment, she stood as she started gearing up

Cathul thuku, formerly cathul lok before she made a embrassment in the alor chamber, stardust was greatly upset by that...but that's not why she was taking this bounty, she had unfinished business with this woman

She managed to gather little info but there was a big medical operation...this was a lead...so she followed and started that way

The difference between when she was Governor of Azure and today is that she gave up on psychiatry entirely (Mandos tend to conflate psychotherapy and psychiatry) and That, even though her past as a healthcare professional was key to landing her first naval command, and landed that on the back of 15 years of treating the mental illnesses of Mandalorian veterans (in the Alliance Navy, it was pretty much acknowledged that there was no such thing as restricted or unrestricted lines of command, which meant that any manner of personnel could rise to the ranks of admiralty). And in the last third of her career as a healthcare professional, she was also a Force-healer that was known on Azure to spam Force-healing in an attempt to control public expenditures. Today she might still be a Force-healer but she would rather not conduct neuropsychological evaluations. She had a discussion with one of the medical staffers working alongside her concerning that topic.

"If what they say about you is true, you ceased practicing as a psychotherapist. What made you stop doing that? You care about the patients"

"Kark it, there is that one patient that caused me to realize that I practiced the medical profession in a way that was a poor fit back in Mando-land. My bedside manner was far too poor for that specialty"

"Admiral, are you talking about some malpractice case?"

"Mandos conflate psychotherapy with psychiatry. But yes, it was psychotherapy malpractice. With that said, I have to call it a day, and also remember that, in psychiatry, and likewise in psychotherapy, no practitioner will fit all patients"

She watched hyperspace fly around, she closed her eyes and sighed out, she cleared her mind and prepared for what could be a fight, in all honesty she hoped she'd just come easily and not make a problem with being brought before ijaat.

She would get the justice that she wanted, money, and a clear mind. Abregado-Rae was the planet she was heading to, and she didn't even have any clue if she was there...but if she what info she had gathered was true...there was a medical facility with a certain pink twilek

Hyperspacereverted to real space, and the planet loomed before her, she took a small transport, she nodded to herself, almsot time

"Then why enter naval service, admiral?"

"I initially thought that I could make a medical difference by using Force-healing to help the valiant personnel that serve the Alliance Navy, hoping to continue on a path of healing diseases that often are out of reach of conventional medicine. In the end, I might have abused my experience as a psychotherapist without knowing it"

"How so?"

"The GADF Healthcare Credentialing Board thought that 15 years of treating Mandalorian veterans of all branches of service, including, but not limited to, naval personnel, would be sufficient to grant the rank of captain so part of the was brought upon myself"

"We know that freshly graduated healthcare professionals start out as lieutenants upon entering naval service (or captains in the ground service). But your combat experience was on land. Why choose the Navy over the Army?"

"Sometimes I feel that the GADF Healthcare Credentialing Board had orders from above, especially the NJO, to fill out naval positions on capital ships. Really it wasn't my choice to serve in the navy vs. army, but the HCB's. Too often Jedi who opt for the life of the navy prefer to be in the attack craft division. They usually trusted the NJO to get a supply from which to draw mid-level and high-level ground officers, but you have to remember that reservists form the bulk of the GADF ground forces, and the GADF ground force reserves have tons of enlisted and, to a lesser extent, junior officers, vs. mid-high-level officers"

She was also reminded of what Force-healers, Jedi or not, entering Alliance naval service had to supply for documents for credentialing civilian healthcare professionals that entered military service and awarded ranks according to their credentials and experience (not just quantitatively but also based on the patients they treated). Knowing that preference is given to those that cured active duty personnel or veterans, either their own or their allies' (and the Mandalorians' armed forces had very little mental healthcare provision until the last crusade came), because the admiralty assumes that healthcare professionals that had military personnel for patients could fit inside the military structure more easily especially if they have experience of combat to their name. Clearly the other person she was talking to was pretty junior in the military chain of command and also pretty naïve. Even though many in the military saw Jedi as mostly glorified, or Force-using, special operations people, to Cathul that wasn't the case, especially since, for some reason, the GADF allowed even Padawans to obtain undesirable mid-level officer commands pretty much on a whim (with the rank of major, maybe colonel for the more skilled padawans in command roles, if in the army, commander if in the navy).

She had transmitted codes and landed without much of a problem, she moved to the back where she has a raxis member sitting in normal civil clothing

Alright my friend here's the plan, if what I know is true I gotta getc you roughed up a bit, this cathul one is a medical or I think my experience was..rough say the least

Roger that ma'am I'm ready to get this dar'manda

Yea I know, alright I apologize but gotta play the part

For about five minutes she beat and punched him till he was bleeding pretty good...enough to look serious but truly just minor bleeding, she ran out and started to call out

Hey I need help over here! Where is the medical facility my friend barely made it out of that fight help!

*workers rushed over in a panic, however she was given the location and started rushing to there*

Good play you'll be getting half of this probably more

She ran quickly, helmet keeping her face hidden as she activated the voice modulator

-I need a doctor now! Where is the head doctor he needs help now-

A nurse quite frightened quickly made a call to the head doc of the place right to [member="Cathul Thuku"], with the message saying someone has brought in a critically injured man

 

[Cathul Thuku]

"I need a doctor now! Where is the head doctor? He needs help now" a nurse commed in to Cathul.

"Roger, roger"

With that said, Cathul sensed that there was a trauma-suffering patient bleeding after being punched by one of the local thugs or other small-time evil-doers. Also, she used Force-speed to get to the location of the patient the frightened nurse gave to her, with the end result that, as a Force-healer, she was obligated to take on that patient's case, with a few open cuts that shouldn't take more than an hour to cure. She saw that there was bleeding, and also widespread traces of panic all around the place of the patient and of its trauma. All too many fell prey to their panic around here, then again Abregado-Rae isn't the most crime-filled locale in the galaxy, she thought. But she wouldn't realize that there was that someone close to the victim around. Duty calls, and she wastes no time using Force-healing on the injured patient. But it may well be a trap used by some bandits to trick Force-healers: it has happened before that one bandit hurts another one so that they could steal from the Force-healer once said healer comes.

Time to throw the trap

Stardust had followed the injured man asking many questions as if she was in great concern for the man, she looked up as she could feel cathul getting close...very very rapidly, she stopped and gave some room as she watched her start to heal the man

She moved around to her back as she grew a westar and moved closer, a hand on her Saber both metal on her back*alright now, no suddenly moves got it...I want you to finish healing and stand up slowly* she said as she let her force presence be now known, no doubt cathul could tell who it was, and once she was standing she'd cuff her, if she stood, then she'd say*

By order of the mandalorian clans for crimes and dishonor against the people, you are to come with me back to mandalore, we can do this without a problem or I can get rough and trust me I've got no problem with being rough

She said as she looked around

Walk to the exit slowly

She said as the man stood and drew his own weapon, now healed and ready to go

Stardust? The one malpractice case that made me realize that psychiatry just wasn't the way to go for me to practice medicine? Probably she found the Mandalorian civil court system to be unreliable... she thought, upon being face-to-face with [member="Stardust Raxis"]. No use trying to resist her: I was roughed up by her once, I don't want to risk it again, so may the Force be with me and just do it without causing trouble. Hopefully they will realize the crime is not serious enough to kill me, and that I can go back to practicing medicine. Hopefully Therapy Command won't be doing Core patrols anywhere near Alderaan. So she simply accepts that she is to be cuffed once the patient is cured. Yet, they showed leniency when the actual crime Stardust is referring to was committed. They let Cathul go unharmed so long as she kept quiet back then, and made it without resistance, so she simply is slowly brought out of the medical center, while handcuffed, and into Stardust's custody.

She kept behind her, the other guy watching her back to make sure no one even attempted to try and intervene

Stardust led her to the transport, no one seems to wanna stop them, then again to armed people bith mandalorian one would be very cautious

She loaded her up and placed her into a small holdimg area, she looked into the cell and removed her helmet and frowned turning

Keep watch on her

The guy nodded and faced her gun ready just in case

Stardust got up front and started up the transport taking off as she sent a message to [member="Ijaat Mereel"]

*I have [member="Cathul Thuku"] in custody right now and I am on my way to you as we speak unless you wish for a different point to meet I'll meet you on mandalore, stardust out*

With that the transport shot into hyperspace
