Akira Kono
Trapped in the Past or Yearning for the Future?
Ord Cestus System
-Aboard the Thalassian Luxury Space Barge "Imperious" Bound for Ord Mantell
Woosh! The "Imperious" luxury barge shuddered to a halt over the planet Ord Cestus. It was an all too sudden halt for such a magnificent vessel which held all the bells and whistles of the ruling elite for their planetary transport needs. The only problem--between the incessant belittling of the ship's crew and the smell of the high priced food--was that of the ship being--seemingly--ripped from hyperspace at its full speed. This sudden occurrence--over a planet that was days away from their destination--was something quite peculiar, indeed...
"What is this... Feeling that I have," inquired Akira inside the inner recesses of his mind. This question would soon enough be answered by a shake and rumble from the barge.
Turbolaser fire erupted from the aft direction as a group of modified fights strafed across the luxury ship's exterior to destroy any method of self-propulsion.
"Pirates," Akira exclaimed, audibly, before he burst out from behind the ventilation grate that he had spent most of his journey behind. "I have to get off this ship!"
Bouncing from planet to planet, as was ritual for a large portion of his life, Akira had found his way on to this luxury barge with the hopes of smooth sailing until he could find a new place to settle for a brief respite from his travels. Sneaking on board such a pricey vessel was far easier than he could have dreamed--due to his sheer audacity to try--and it had been far easier sneaking on to something as large, and conspicuous, as the "Imperious".
"Remain calm," blurted a voice over the ship's communications system. "We won't kill you until after we take all your money!"
The voice was obviously that of the pirate leader that oversaw this undertaking--as it ended with a villainous cackle that only one so prescribed to the ways of the raider could present.
