L O S T
Onward she ventured, into the abyss. Space was tranquilizing, the stars mesmerizing as they floated on by. Sometimes Kära would sit and watch them after she left hyperspace, as awe inspired as she had been the very first day she ever laid eyes upon them and the vastness of space. It was humbling to consider how many countless systems there were, each with their own worlds, their own life. Often it was easy to forget, to get lost in self-absorbed efforts, but the Galaxy was far greater than any might really consider... And more so than this was the knowledge that out there was further Galaxies and Universes untold, unheard of...
So it was that as she emerged into orbit around Arkania Kära allowed herself a moment of silent contemplation. Truly she wondered if she would ever be able to settle in this Universe, would she ever be without space for surroundings for more than a few days at a time? Was she doomed to venture aimlessly until the end of days, on some fruitless journey of self-discovery? How useless that would be, what a waste of time and potential. She had to refind herself, and quickly, she had to find herself a purpose here. This Universe was so different from her own that she did not know where to begin. The wars which waged were not her own, she had no place amongst them.
Just as she was about to descend towards the planet, she was overcome with a sharp tug from the Force. This time it was not curiosity which bade her to investigate further, but instead familiarity. Whatever was trying to get her attention was as commonplace to her as anything else from back home... Yet all the same different, distant. She couldn't quite place her finger on it. Leaning back in the pilot seat she considered her options, before peering across to her sensory displays and noted the presence of another, far larger, vessel.
Confused, yet drawn to it all the same, Kära did something she usually would not. She sent forth communications to the ship, to try and gauge its purpose here. Such a large Capital Ship had no place here, she knew.
Greetings, fellow travellers, she began, deciding to go the route of concerned civilian, This is the Captain of Ysmir; may I speak with whomever is in charge of your fine vessel? Curiosity got the better of her and she pulled back her ship from Arkania in favour of travelling a little further out to the Capital Ship. Yet the moment she gazed upon it everything came crashing down around her. She had once owned a ship just like that. But there was no way this could be the same thing, right? After all, her Universe was so different from this one...
