Judah Dashiell
Salvage Empire
Why am I being carried? Why do the arms feel hard? Metal?
Head was pounding, it felt like it was about to split open. One side of his face was just in massive pain and it felt swollen? Bruised? Dizzy and nauseous just topped everything off.
It felt as if he was hungover in a way but also ten times worse.
Wait, hungover? I haven't been black out drunk since Makai was six years old.
He certainly didn't remember drinking. Then again, he didn’t remember much right now. It hurt too much to think too far. Last thing he remembered was spotting Danger and asking her for a dance at some Gala or business event. Details seemed fuzzy right now.
“....can you believe this Thirty-Seven? Of all people, Dad? I swear, who the fuck throws a punch without being certain?...”
Thirty-Seven? What was Makai’s droid doing? Why was his son complaining about throwing punches?
[ Sentients are very horrible at calculations and certainties Sir. ]
“Apparently Jedi are worse at it. Too many feelings and not enough logic, I think.”
Judah was still aware of moving. He definitely felt the incline of a ramp but his legs weren’t making an effort upward. He could feel the coolness of the interior of a ship, as if the humidity and life was sucked out.
[ Where should I place your father Sir? ]
“ Not sure where Danger wants him but the nearest cabin is fine.”
Wait…I’m the one being carried?! By Thirty-Seven?!
He couldn’t stand droids since the nanites had decided to use him as a host. It had effectively ended his military ‘career’ and turned him into a shell of himself at the time. Lots of time and diligent work had brought him back to the right state of mind, but one thing remained ; a healthy distrust of droids.
Typically he was fine but anything to do with loss of faculties or control already set him on edge. Add in droids or even medical droids in such a vulnerable state and it was a recipe for disaster.
Judah struggled to move ; to do something. Even thinking about trying to move was a monumental task. A lot of struggling and mental pep-talk involved and soon enough he was able to use the momentum from Thirty-Seven putting him onto the bed to stand on his own two feet.
….and it was a massive mistake.
The cabin spun wildly like an amusement ride. Nausea flared up, head pounded like a bantha was dancing around inside.
Judah took one wobbily step away from away from Thirty-Seven, starting to dry heave.
