OOC: Not sure what to post here so I hope this is O.K.<br/><br/>BTW: If anyone wants to be part of the crew of the "Twilight Maiden" (e.g. Navigator or gunner) then by all means join in.<br/><br/>The Hyperspace jump from Hatur VIII to the outer rim had so far been uneventful. Ethan amused himself with loud, rythmic music blasted into his ears through the headphones connected to the piloting console. The Twilight Maiden itself had a belly full of wine from Imoria IV and hidden amidst these crates several medical supplies meant for refugees escaping the disturbances further inwards. The plan was to rendevous with the "Core Star", a cruiser en route to the Outer Rim, unload supplies, and accept payment for services rendered. Simple enough.<br/><br/>So why were the hairs on the back of Ethan's neck standing on end? He often had one of his "episodes" when something bad was going to happen, but this was different. It wasn't so much like somebody walking over his grave as throwing an all-night party over it, whilst digging him up and using him as entertainment. Not all of his feelings were unpleasant but a lot of them were very, very unpleasant indeed.<br/><br/>Cutting the hypespace drive the ship slowed to a respectable sublight speed. What Ethan saw made him jump. He immediately cut engines and power to minimum, keeping his distance and trying not to get noticed.<br/><br/>The Core Star was at the meeting point, but it was in bad shape. A rather mean looking dreadnaught was a few kilometers from its position and shuttles were hastily ferrying troops back and forth between the two vessels. The second ship didn't look like a republic vessel and there were some really seriously bad vibes coming from it.
