 ##Begin Log## Captain’s Log, entry #036 Stardate: Not a day for stupid jokes I don't want to write this log. The last thing I want to do is remember what I just saw and type it up. I'd give Skavak my ship gift-wrapped with a kiss before... no, even that's too stupid right now. After the Nightmare, the army therapists all told me I should write my thoughts down. I didn't take 'em seriously of course, but maybe right now I could use some of their sound advice.  So me and Corso got a tip from Ilox to head down to the industrial zone and speak to an Evocii called Ganuk. The industrial zone's the polite name for a work camp, where the Hutts keep their cheap labour for people like the Empire to exploit. All legal and above-board, at least so far as anything is on Nar Shaddaa. Ganuk had bigger problems than a labour dispute.  quote:Ganuk: I'm Ganuk. Foreman's my official post, but most of my time's spent organizing the resistance. First the Hutts, now the Empire, you know?  quote:Ganuk: I sent an agent to dig up intel, find out what they're planning – but she's gone missing.  I figured the Empire's always at work on some evil superweapon. A deadly poison, a huge bomb, a plague – it's just up to dashing space-heroes like yours truly to swoop in and stop it right in the nick of time, right? At least that's how it goes down in holos. quote:Ganuk: Glad to have you on board.   Despite what Ganuk said, we found it pretty easy to sneak into the chemical plant. The guards were mostly focused on their Evocii workers, making sure they didn't slack off.  That doesn't mean we didn't get our hands dirty. I'd picked up some fresh detonators, and there's always something satisfying about blowing through a security checkpoint without stopping.  Soon enough we found an open connection to the factory mainframe. All we had to do was plug in Ganuk's data scanner and let him take care of the rest. Me and Corso were feeling pretty pleased with ourselves about another Imperial scheme shut down. Turns out it wasn't so simple.  quote:Ganuk: Take a minute to rest. Must've been tough fighting through their defenses.   Of course it's a favor for the damned Hutts. Probably the one thing they and the Empire can agree on is wiping out anyone 'inconvenient' to their own goals. quote:Ganuk: We've got to ask fast. No telling how many Evocii they've killed already.  Even after he started throwing around words like “extermination factory”, I still thought we were just gonna jump in there and save the day. We'd just shot up their toxin factory, right? It was going to be okay.  The extermination factory was built right into the toxin factory. The whole thing was automated and efficient, just the way the Empire likes it. Get the people you want to kill to make the poison you're going to kill them with, then walk them right next door to do the deed – saves time that way, see?  I started getting sloppy. Breaking cover when I didn't need to. Corso wanted to run in guns blazing, howling bloody murder.  I can't say he had the wrong idea. When the shooting died down, we found an alien – an agent the Empire had taken prisoner, and let her go. Don't ask me what's wrong with her face, I don't know.  quote:Kalda Biss: I'm Kalda Biss, Republic agent. Ganuk send you?  quote:Quinine: What genocide program?  You know what? Forget it. If the therapists want this written out so bad they can come down here from their Coruscant offices into the smoke and blood and write it themselves. I'm leaving the rest of the auto-logs as they are.       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3rpDGI4RZk  quote:Commander Vergost: My Evocii friends will have to be patient while I destroy you.  quote:Commander Vergost: I'll show you the death machine blueprints, if you're interested.       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHlQ2Lb_xz8  quote:Kalda Biss: Shut up, Vergost! You're finished.  quote:Kalda Biss: I hope you're right about this.   quote:Kalda Biss: I'll look forward to your interrogation.   quote:Kalda Biss: Over here, chief. Your buddy sprung me.  quote:Ganuk: I've got to take off. The factory's survivors are coming in now, and they need my help.    I think someone else can play hero for a while. If anyone needs me, I'll be at the bottom of a bottle. ##End Log## Dolash fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jul 30, 2013 |
