Deep Space is Scary

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Day 1

Location: Aboard Hutt Owned Space Station - Tatooine
Guild Contract: Scan, Photograph and Record a Starweird

Flying his Ixiyen Fast Attack Craft toward the Space Station his Ships Systems were Alerted and a Voice Speaking Huttese sounded, the Ships computer translating it to " State your Karking Buisness Mandalorian..." in a rather nasty tone. Shiro had his Helmet off and he responded back " My karking Buisness is for you to Approve my landing, Disgusting Alien.." Submitting a Landing Code he had gotten from his Black Sun Connections the Space Station gave him the Go-Ahead where Shiro Landed his Craft to Meet a Old Friend about borrowing a Ship for his Contract with the Beast Hunters Guild.

The Mandalorian had Previously contacted an old Korunnai Friend about the Matter, but as always his Friend never gave a Answer back. Exiting his Ship Shiro Looked at its Storage and activated a Hatch that contained two Droids, One NFU Droid and One Annihilator Droid. Both were a Recent Purchase and he was very happy with them. Walking over the hatch Shiro activated them both, watching them stand up and look at Shiro waiting a Command.
" You will follow me and Guard as of now. Understood?" Both Nodded

Locking things up Shiro Left his Astrodroid in charge of his ship and strapped his Heavy Lightning Rifle to his shoulder sling, Holstering his Blast Pistol and saluted his ship hoping it would be safe here. If someone tampered with it he would most likely murder someone. A Voice sounded and the Doors down the hall opened up. Walking down to meet him was his the Station Director and two other species, One a Transdoshan and other a Rodian. Yelling down the hall at Shiro " HEY! Weapons are not allowed in this Station!" Th As the group got closer the two droids walked forward and armed themselfs, One Activating a Lightsaber and the other pulling out a small holdout blaster. Stopping dead in their tracks Shiro said " Bring Me Malachi, I have a favor to ask him." Pointing to the Director Shiro shouted " You go! Run" The Human backed up slowly and started running back.

While the Director was off Searching for Shiro's friend the two other species, Trandoshan and Rodian slowly started to reach for their blasters. Shiro rolled his eyes under his Helmet and signaled his Droids to Disarm them. Perhaphs in the Most aggressive way possible too, the droids were very aggressive and the Rodian suffered a sprained wrist in the disarm process, Just what Shiro like in a Droid. Cold like him to the Bone. Before the Doors opened a Voice Yelled from down the hall " Shiro Tagachi! You slimy little fiend! How have you been! " The Metal doors opened and Malachi walked through wearing a Dirty Apparel, He had been summoned on the Job from Engineering. " Oh Look at you now, Big tough Mandalorian now eh? I didnt know the Mandalorians except criminals now! Haha!" He said stareing at the armor. Shiro walked forward and signaled his droids to stand down.

" The only Scum in here is you...Malachi" Shiros voice was colder then before and he slowly took off his Helmet and placed it under his left arm holding it there. Shiro's face gave a deathly grim stare but it slowly turned to a wide grin and Shiro walked in and gave his Brother a Hug. With a Smile he said " Its been too long my Brother.. How have you been?!" Embracing the Hug Malachi responded back " Ive Been Great! Been Helping the Hutts with Ship Repairs and Such!" Malachi paused and Whispered in Shiro's Ear " Im there karking Slave now you gotta get me out of here! NOW!" Shiro Backed up and eyed him tilting his head saying " Well I need a favor.... Do you Still have that Ship? You know the Black Sun One?" Shiros Voice sounded with slight Anger for the Hutts Enslaving his Brother but he needed the Ship first and so he played off the request to save him.

Malachi had a look of worry on his face as Shiro backed away and he scratched his head " The AEG-77 Vigo Gunship? Yea its in the Other Hangar, I just got done modifying it.. Why?" Malachi crossed his arms and an smiled. " Let me guess your on a Contract? If you damage it ill kill you... You do know that?!" He stated. Shiro laughed and walked forward only to have the side of his arm gripped sightly. Shiro stopped and in his mind examined what would happen. He could easily kill the guards but it would not end there. Finally Shiro smiled and turned around putting his Helmet on. His Droids were still positioned by the Station Directors Guards and Ready for commands.

With his Helmet on he targeted the two guards and said " Kill em..." The Guards looked around in confusion yelling some stuff but soon that ended, Trandoshian Shot in the Head and the Rodian Decapitated. The Director gasped and started running away, Shiro quickly drawing his pistol shot him in the back watching his drop to the fool. " Im on a Contract yes and you now have a deal, your Freedom for the Ship!" he said walking and but pointed and Malachi and said " Droids, New command Guard Malachi! Malachi you can take my ship and use it as you pls just remember im comin back for it!" Shiro smirked under his helmet and walked away to his new ship to use.

With his Brother out of the way Shiro could now complete his Job. No one in the Station stopped the Mandalorian from taking the AEG-77 Vigo. No one could after all, Space Stations lacked fire power and the Mandalorian would of easily dealt with them. Walking Aboard the AEG-77 Vigo Shiro was greeted by several Droids that helped repair it and pilot it. Walking in he said " Prepare for take off, Destination Deep Space.." and sat in the Pilots Seat to help. Soon after the Ship Sealed up and took off into Hyperspace after leaving the Space Station.

Day 2

With the AEG-77 Vigo Gunship in comeing out of Hyperspace this gave Shiro some relax time. Taking off his Helmet he looked at the protocol Droid and asked " What are the Chances to come in Contact with a Starweird? " The Droid tilted his metal head slightly and paused as if it were looking searching something. " Hard to Say, Most Starweird's are never seen by sentient eye, If there is a Force Sensitive aboard then the chances would be significantly higher.. Most Starweirds encounters have been by Force sensitives and few have survived.." The Protocol Droid paused and asked " Are you Force Sensitive, Sir?" Shiro looked down and walked away slightly angry. He was indeed Force sensitive but he had not used his powers willingly since the day to murdered the Korun Emperor long ago. Shiro raised his hand and looked at it, as if he held a great power. Making a Fist Shiro turned away and walked back into the cockpit saying " Find the most common place to find a Starweird and Travel there, I'll be around the ship.." Shiro crossed his arms and looked down, he started to daze off but the Droid stated " Sir we will have do Drop out of Hyperspace first! And the Travel will take Exactly One Day, Shall I Proceed?" The droid turned and looked at Shiro waiting a Response.

Shiro Rolled his eyes, all these droids were stupid compared to his assassin droids, which were with his Brother at the moment. " Do whatever it Takes, Wake me when we arrive!"

Aboard the AEG-77 Vigo Shiro spent the time he could in the Captains quaters resting, They were in Hyperspace and heading for Deep space in search for the Starweird. But in the mean time shiro would be rest and Meditating? Something he had not done in ages since he was a honor guard. He missed those times, they were easy, simple & the feeling he got when he slaughtered his Emperor. Pure Ecstasy, Feeding of the Force engery the Emperor had. Shiros Surroundings seemed to freeze in place and pass slower in his meditative state. Maybe it was the Ships speed that helped or the hum of the Artificial lights that continued for ages. Whatever it was it held Shiro at by and came across as peaceful. A Word very forign to the Cold man, Peace.

Remembering his past and almost reliving the moment, Shiro opened his eyes. Glowing Red he could see the ghosts of the people he murdered and in a since they haunted him.. Their faces he never forgot and their essence he never gave up. Those he Fed off of, Shiro was a Force Eater by Nature a Rare gift and curse for being gifted in the Force. The hunger it caused him forced him to be how he was now, Cold, Monotone, Vicious & Brutal. Shiro refused to use his force powers he believed them made him weak, when in fact they made him stronger then ever...

Shiro Blinked several times and his Red glowing eyes faded, He had a vision of the Ship stopping. Disreguarding it as a random though, Shiro got up and pressed the Commlink to contact the piloting protocol Droid and asked " How much Further?" There was a pause and the Ship rattled slightly, They dropped out of hyperspace... Interesting. The Droid responded back " We have Just Arrived Sir! Your Timing is impeccable." Shiro took a second and paused thinking about what happen and shook his head refusing to believe it. Walking out of the Captains Quarters, Shiro made his way to the Cockpit and took seat/Control. Flying the vessel Deeper in to the Empty Space. " Active... Scanners and recorders... Audio and Video, Im going to bring one here.." He said leaving the Droid in control and got up to stand in the main room of the Gunship. There he would attempt what he hated most. Calling on the Force and using it..

Day 3


Spending a whole day in Deep space, no Starweird encountered. He had been meditating for Hours on end, connecting with the Force again and feeding on its Energies. Taking a Deep Breath Shiro was close to Giving up. This Mission was not in his strong suit and it was on the edge of Crazy and suicidal for a person such has him. Force Sensitive, Hours later Shiro played around with Force Grip variations and tossed objects around. Even came to the point where he knocked a droid over using the force. Of course it was the protocol droid, Shiro needed to knock him over one way or another. A Smile came across his scarred face and then it slowly faded as he started to remember why he didn't use the Force.

The Gunship was now 2 days deep in the Deep space sectors and nothing was happening even with his force powers, Getting up Shiro was ready calling quits and walked to the cockpit to say " Launch into Hyperspace where going to Coruscant, Im going home... KARK THIS CONTRACT!" The Ship launched into hyperspace. Shiro waited in the Captatins Quarters, think about what it was doing.. Throwing away Credits and giving it to some other Moron. Shiro gnashed his teeth and growled, the Lights Flickered on and off slightly forcing Shiro to press the comm in and say " What the kark? Whats wrong with the ship? DId you take out my lights?" Realesing the button the Madalorian waited little over a minute intill he heard " Sir, We have been travelling about I took the liberty to transfer some energy to get back! Hope you dont mind Sir but you did say what ever it takes." Hearing this Shiro let his head hit the Wall.

Meanwhile In the Control Room...

Shiro's Order to start the Recording, audio & Scanning process was handed to the co-piloting Protocol Droid, Who in turn transferred the Order to another Protocol Droid in the Control room. His job was to monitor and correct and changes that would occur, Watching the Camera's The droid turned its Head slowly over each one to analyzing each Video closely with its Dual Preceptors. This Droid was down in the Control room simply because his Vocal parts had been damaged in the past and he could not speak.. The Camera in the Captains Quarter turned and zoomed in on the Mandalorian with his head on the wall, If the droid could smile or laugh now would be that time.

Turning its head to the Camera positioned outside the Captains Quarters the Droid watched a white/grey figure pass by, The Droid now selecting the video paused it and played it back. The Figure was floating, had very sharp talon like claws, Slender almost Skeleton like, Its eyes glew a white and its greyish white hair floated about in a creepy fashion.
The Monitoring Droid was very cautious and was aware of its Self damage, To make sure the Image and Video was not wrong the Monitoring Protocol droid Activated the ship Scanner. The Results came back as... Odd

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AEG-77 Vigo Gunship Scanner Results:

4 Droids - 2 of 3rd degree, 2 of 2nd Degree

1 Human - Korun decent.
...........................
........
....

!1 - Unknown Lifeform Scanned!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details of the Unknown Lifeform Littered the scanning screen showing in full detail all its information, the Current droid was not able to tell what the creature was based on its biology and the droid was damaged and could not contact his superiors so he continued on with his Task. And Aimed the Camera's that could see the Entity and resumed recording. The Audio started recording aswell, So far only the flicker of the Gunships Lights could be heard.

Captains Quarters - Shiro


The Starweird floated slightly back and forth in front of the Door that it from Shiro. Steadily floating to the end of the Corridor, the door suddenly opened and Shiro walked out facing the opposite direction and was heading to the Cockpit, Leaving his Lightning Rifle behind Shiro walked up to the droid and said ​" Wheres the Monitoring Room? I am Curious.." Shiro infact was and if nothing showed he would very much give up. The Droid responded " Past the Captains Quarters Sir, Then take a left and go down the stairs. Another droid will be there. " The droid nodded at shiro and resumed working. Shiro looked around for feeling dumb enough to ask a droid for direction and came back with " And fix these Damn Lights! Now!" Shiro didnt even want to hear a response for the lights, he could barely see the entire Ship was like a Strobe Light. Walking into the main room Shiro remembered the Direction and looked past his Captains Quaters... WIth the Lights Flickering on and off from a dumb & droids walking around and such, Shiro was very confused on what type of droid was in front of him. Tall, Slender, Floated & had long fingers, this is what the Madalorian saw but it was NOT a droid!

Shiro in his confusion called out " You Identify your self droid!" As the words left his mouth Shiro felt it. The Coldness and Dark feeling that the Force could only produce, Last time he felt this was long ago but since then the feeling does not change. The Entity Turned around slowly turned around revealing White glowing eyes. As it turned more the Madalorians Eyes got little bigger and he tried to focus on what saw.

- What type of droid is thi............ - Shiros thought was interrupted by a Scream, jumping where he stood and covering his ears Shiro groaned. Shiro noticed the Scream did not dampen when he covered his ears but the ship rattled in a way and loose objects moved around. Sweating now from realizing what was in the ship with him Shiro looked up at the creature and muttered " ....Kark!" Quickly Reaching for his Rifle Shiro scrambled to reach it and then stopped and looked at the Captains room. His Mind was racing and in a panic, The scream got him good. The Starweird Floated at a speed at of a human sprint toward shiro raising his Sharp claws. Rolling out of the way to the right Shiro dodged and quickly drew his Blast pistol letting three shots fly in the Starweirds direction. The Blaster bolts did nearly nothing except harm his own ship, the shots passed through the Creature and hit the thick metal walls. Alarms activated and the Ships lights changed to a Red, standard in combative scenarios.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Shiro had no time to think the Starweird was all over him, Running toward the Captains Quarters Shiro had a goal of shooting it with his Lightning rifle. There was no for sure answer that it would work after all but he needed a chance at the least. Reaching the Door shiro spun around and slammed his fist to shut the metal door, The door slid shut and shiro rested having his back against the wall and picking up his lightning Rifle. The Captains room was dark and Red lights flashed still, Shiro slowly stood ready and crouched down slightly he was feel confident now. With his Heavy Lightning Rifle he always felt safer, it had saved his live several time over and was reliable. Shiro breathing was heavy and he n\slowly inched his way toward the door panel to open it. Pressing the keypad again and watching the metal door slid open SHiro swung his rifle around the corner ready to fire.... but nothing was there!

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Could Starweirds turn invisible?! What how could it just disappear? Shiros mind probed his with Questions and he felt a Sudden jerking motion, A strong grip followed by a sudden toss. Shiro was lifted into the air and slammed against the metal walls of the ship. Apon Impact Shiro realized that no one was lifting him, it was the Force. He knew the feeling too well to not deny it. Starweirds were able to use the FORCE! The Mandalorians Rifle Slid across the room, eyeing it Shiro looked around and watched the Starweird manifest itself again. The Biology of it was very odd it was Ghost like even. The Scans from the ship would show more though. Shiro scrambled to reach the rifle, crawling his way to it in a haste.

The Starweird rushed over to him pinning him down and started slashing at him with its Talons, One scratch was all that Shiro would let the creature get on him as he raised his Gauntlets and used his armor to block the blows. The Mandalorians Tempter was growing thin and activating his Flame thrower Shiro let out a yell and fired it all over the creature. " Aaaarrrrggghhh!!!" The Creature backed up and seemed to take some damage but rushed in again. Using this to his advantage Shiro let the starweird eat a Force push and grabbed his Lightning rifle.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

The Starweird seemed to be affected by the Force very well, Its ghostly body wisped back in rush but it didnt last long. The Creature looked up and gave another Telepathic Scream making the very ship Rattle again and rushed toward Shiro once more. Shiro brought the rifle to aiming position and pulled the trigger. Locked. The Rifle was on Safety still! Shiro looked down at it and switched to fire mode and looked back up. The Starweird was literately in his face, Leaning back and scooting backwards at the same time Shiro emptied the entire clip on the Creature and watched the Lightning surge over the creature. Eventually the Starweird looked as if it fell to the side and it slowly faded away? Shiro watched with a now bleeding face from being scratched up by the creature. Another scar to add he thought to himself as the blood hit his own lips. The Creature in front of him faded away, in till it was gone. Their were no signs of its existence on board in front of the mandalorian.

Shiro stood up slowly and looked at the sport where the creature would of been lying. Odd. The AEG-77 Vigo gunship jolted and the droid announced " Sir, We are out of Hyper Space. " The Mandalorian smiled and walked toward the Control room and reviewed the videos, audio and Scans of the Creature they were... very interesting, But Shiro had did it from the looks of it. Looking at the droid Shiro asked " Why didnt you alarm me that the Creature was outside my room!" Shrio was slightly angry and watched the droid raise a hand at its throat area. Shiro got the meaning and pushed the droid over and fast walked to the Cockpit. Sending a Message to his Boss @Mrrew. The Message said " I got your Karking Starweird Poodoo! You better give me extra pay for this!" Shiro sent the message and sat back in his seat.

" I need to Retire..." He muttered and wiped blood off his face.
