STARLIGHT Zombies of Taris (Episode 4)

[Quick 3]

Barracudas moves in for the finishing kill.

All mini raghouls are killed. The republic troopers that were covering the crew from behind cheers loudly. A doctor comes out from the outpost and approaches the team asking who is in charge of the four.

Barracudas bows her head and whispers. "May you find peace in your next life." She turns to the approaching doctor. "That will be me. How can I help you?"

Doctor: "You came in last moment to help us, they could have kill us all. Thank you. But next time you should be faster jedi. Our work here is worthy more than your lives. So next time we send signal for help move in faster."

Oyo deactivates his lightsaber and approaches to one side of the padawan Bara, listening to annoying doctor with a frown of his face. He makes a fist as in attempt to punch doctor in face, but for now he is still somehow controlling.

"We may be Jedi but we aren't omnipotent. We weren't even assigned to this planet or even your mission. We are here because of a request of a friend and who are you to decide how 'worthy' we are, you're lucky we came at all." Barracudas says to defend her team.

Doctor: "Yeah right. You speak with that tone like you know what we are trying to do down here. The monsters can attack us anytime we risk our lives every moment for the Republic, while you fly around with ships and play with your toys decorated with all kind of lights. We are at war here, I cannot believe they sent us a child."

Marinez shouted 'Know your place soldier, we just saved you all and this is the respect we get?' As Marinez has the rank of Major.

"Oh, excuse me. Do you sacrifice your entire life from when you're born until the day you die to protect everyone, even people like you? Do you sacrifice the idea of love, of family of companionship to be send out mission after mission to uphold peace? Do you leave your old life behind? Your parents, your friends? Do you spend hours upon hours upon hours training every day? Because if you don't we Jedi do. So think about that everytime you see a Jedi. Don't think that we are people with fancy toys without knowing what we go through to protect people like you." She accuses him.

"I actually do." Doctor answers all the questions proudly. "Without my work here planet Taris would no longer be ours but it would belong to raghouls and the empire, if I had not left all my family, friends and old life behind." He then turns to Marinez "I am not a soldier but this is my mission. I was dragged out from the education institution on Coruscant to come here and stop empire from using those mutated abominations to conquer this world, my only term was to be head of the mission, and this is the signature of General Garaza herself." He presents the digital holo proof to the team that beams from his hand. Along with the signature there is also the listing of his grades during his time on college and all grades appear to have maximum points. It even says that he finished education 3 years before everyone else in his generation, the IQ of this doc could be much higher than it appears. Other soldiers around shake their head, facepalm and sigh, obviously they had problem with him leading the operation before the vigilance crew arrived, but none had a legal power to take him down from this position, and apparently all the soldiers here are lawful and none wants to break the law. "You may know how to shot with the gun, but in this operation, I decide when and where you are going to point your weapon. I discovered where is the empire controlling the raghouls simply by examining the corpse of one of their dead pets, and I know how to stop them from continuing doing such. If you cannot follow my lead and you wish to take lead of this operation, then I will leave and take all research I made here, and you good luck finding a new doctor who is going to start from scratch, if they even dare to land here."

Marinez replied 'Well if you know we are here, why you trying to picking on the young-ling? and not only that we wasn't pointing the guns on you anyway, plus i don't think you would leave unless you want have a rough time with Garaza, if you can clam down and work together we might be able to stay alive rather than stabbing us on the back. Do you agree with that or you rather face Garaza and explain why wasn't you doing your job?'

Being himself young human male doctor, especially for finishing studies too early, he thinks himself to be enough mature, and he looks at the youngling from who he is not that much older: "She got herself bitten she cannot handle the situation yet someone was crazy enough to send a child and even make her team leader. I need serious team here, this is not alien zoo. If she cannot handle mini raghouls how are we going to enter the southern cavern where the big ones dwell? They will swallow her. Besides according to what you said you are not sent here by Garaza, you happen to accidentally appear here, I can win you on the court with her, because I am authorized to decide the curse of this mission, and you are just a guest, a visitor, nothing more."

Marinez replied 'If we are guest what right you have on us to help you? lets say if we haven't came what then? everyone starts from the bottom am i not correct?'

[Intimidate]

"Hopefully it will be him that dies." She whispers to Marinez. "So hotshot, what would you have done if we didn't rescue your arse? Because from my point of view your talking alot but I didn't see you fighting with those soldiers. Your all bark but no bite. So do your really think that you are skilled enough to lead this mission?" She activates one of her lightsabers and walks up to him. "What did you call it again? Ah that's right a toy. Well... Show me that you can handle it then." Immediatly after that, she swings her lightsaber at him going for his neck, it only takes a second and she stops right before it would hit him. Only a centimeter away.

Young doctor opens mouth, he drops his datapad as his hand starts to tremble when he feels the heat of lightsaber close to his skin. His heart starts to beat faster and faster and with his weak constitution it is close to heart attack. He has no words to give, from his opened mouth the words without sound come, giving the message to spare him to let him go.

Affection +5

"Now she speaks my langauge." Rattataki rubs his hands, pleased with Barracuda's act.

Marinez said 'Young-ling calm yourself, no matter how you look at it he still young and has much to learn' and then looked at the doc calmly speak 'Don't worry, she don't mean it all we want to do is work together and be friends is that OK with you?'
