Private One of a Kind

[Liin "Tera" Terallo]

The first time that I had used this synthetic Force it had been by accident. The second time too. And both were not in the safe confines of my laboratory. This state-of-the-art facility that was given to me should be used for every ounce of my research. And that includes me too.

I know that it is risky and I know that it will hurt. But if I cannot control it than I really would be a danger to myself and to others. So the best way to do it is to try to practice. And to do so secretly. For I know well enough that if it became known; they will either be horrifed, disappointed, angered or glad. The latter is surely to be of the lowest percentage. Afterall my research goes against the Force Wizard religions of which most of them are aligned.

I sit at one of the laboratory tables with a cup of water. My main goal is a simple one; to float it up in the air. I had done something similar previously; although that event was more of a shockwave than anything else. This time had to be gentler. I stare at the cup and look at it not in some magical way, but in a scientific one. I imagine that I am seeing the tiniest of particals inbetween the surface of the table and the bottom of the cup. Then I focus on those particals speeding up and increasing in numbers, causing the cup and the table to seperate. It takes a few moments but then I begin to feel the hairs on the back of my neck and my forearms start to rise as the static buildup around me increases. And as they rise; so too does the cup.

The doors to the lab opened. Rellik had come not to intrude, but to check in. He had some tea in his hands and was bringing them to chat with Liin and give her a break from her efforts. To show her someone cared enough to see how she was doing. He stepped inside just as the cup rose from the table. A static hum brushed against the edge of his skin. His steps paused, eyes drawn not to the object but to the woman behind it.


She hadn't seen him yet. Rellik didn't speak immediately. He simply stood there, still as stone, observing the moment. Than he gave away he was there. Simply and happily saying "Hey Liin, I brought you some tea. I hope I am not invading your study." He was happy and calm. Proud of the work she was doing and knowing all of the effort she had put in was coming to a head.

Slowly he walked forward with tea in hand.

The cup of water rose higher and higher as I focused on it. I built up the particles underneath it so well that the whole thing seemed weightless. This practice was going so well, despite the smell of static in the air. One can almost hear it popping as the synthetic Force charged up around me.

Lord Rellik's voice startled me. So much so that I lost my focus altogether and desperately attempted to catch the cup as it fell to the table. However my reflexes were not quick enough and I missed. Fortunately the cup was not made of glass. Otherwise it would have shattered. Instead it was a plastic one. And as it bounced and rolled on the table; the water splattered everywhere.

A wave of exhaustion struck me once the static buildup evaporated, yet I did my very best to hide it while I drew up a hankerchief from my lab coat's pocket and began to clean up the water.

"Invading? Why no. I was just--" How am I to cover up this one? How much did he see? "The cup slipped through my fingers. I suppose that I do need a break." I slide my notes down the table and continue to wipe up the water. "Tea sounds wonderful, thank you." I allow a small pause to pass us by. "I hope that everything is going well with you all. And once again I appreciate all that you both have done for me."
