"Record", Lucian commands. At the moment the command was spoken a light came on a hologlide Cam Droid. "Okay, so I have been recording my training sessions so that I can see my progress and document how I accomplish as skill. I have yet to master this pull technique. For some reason I keep smacking myself with these damn pillows, I just can't seem to control the pull so that I can grab what I am trying to pull. I used to use rocks, but after you knock your self unconscious a couple of times, you learn to target something softer," Lucian said into the recording.
Lucian got into his stance, reaching out with his hand and digging deep into himself he was able to conjure the force, directing it towards a pillow that was sitting on the bed. Straining to use the force to pull the pillow to him. The pillow twitched, then moved an inch, the flew across the room towards Lucian. Smacking him in the face. "Ugh, this sucks", Lucian yelled, throwing the pillow back onto the bed. "This is rediculous, I can push things just fine, but I can't pull things towards me controllably", he said with disappointment.
"Sir, you need to get to the bridge. There's been a disturbance", a voice said over the ships comms channel.
Lucian exited his stateroom and headed towards the bridge. He was met halfway by a human male who had been walking towards Lucian down the corridor.
"Captain Xavier, tell me what is going on. What is so bad about this disturbance that it is important to disturb me while I am meditating?", Lucian commanded.
Captain Xavier was the ships Chief of security and Lucian's most trusted employee. Captain Xavier was an older gentleman who had been on the mercenary ship that saved Lucian from the Massacre of Vax when Lucian was 16.
"Sir, it seems there was an infiltrator among our ranks. He has taken the bridge hostage and plans to execute Captain Ahkstad if you do not appear on the bridge and surrender yourself to him", the Captain explained.
Lucian stopped in the corridor and turned to Captain Xavier with a quizzical look. "Why does he want me to surrender myself? Who is he working for and what is his ultimate motive?", Lucian asked the Captain.
"Sir, he says he has been sent to complete what his father and uncles had started on Kiffar. He stated, and I quote, "Lucian Vax can not live. His bloodline needs to be eradicated and the Vax name should be written from history!", the Captain stated.
Lucian, trying to figure out why and after all these years this would be happening. Lucian said with question, "What is it about my family. I always thought that it was just raiders or pirates who massacred my family. Now it seems that was what someone wanted everyone to think. No one knew I survived. Unless....".
"Unless what sir?", the Captain questioned.
Lucian turned to the Captain and questioned, "How many people on the bridge at this time? Is there just the one infiltrator? What weapons does he have"?
The Captain responded, "Captain Ahkstad, Ensign Pollee, Petty officer First Class Johnson, and Sergeant Takke. Sergeant Takke was stabbed multiple times in the torso and his blaster was taken from him by the assailant. He needs medical attention badly sir, but the criminal wont let anyone leave"!
Lucian ordered, "Captain, take everyone away from the bridge. Evacuate all areas surrounding the bridge and ensure no one comes down the corridor. Is that understood"?
"Yes, sir", the Captain returned.
Lucian made his way to the corridor leading to the bridge. As he approached the blast door securing the hostile area he reached out his hand and with the force switched the control panel to open it. Lucian walked in as the door opened and with a wave of his hand, the door shut.
"I hear you want me to surrender myself to you", Lucian said with aggression. "You do not know me, but my father was the one who was sent to kill your family. Him and my uncles were the ones you slaughtered with your force powers. I have come to finish the job they were paid to do", the assailant stated.
"Who paid them? Why was my entire family massacred? And why on my birthday?", Lucian said with anger as he crept toward the assailant. "Give me your name, before I kill you! Give me the pleasure of knowing whose heart I rip from their chest!", Lucian said.
As Lucian was still creeping towards the assailant, the human infiltrator raised the blaster away from Captain Ahkstad and pointed it towards Lucian. At the moment the blaster was centered on Lucian he reached his hand out and the blaster shot from the assailants hand and into Lucian's. Overcome by rage and the anger swelling inside him he hadn't noticed that he had finally achieved the skill he had moments ago been trying to conquer. Lucian threw the blaster to the ground and reached his hand out at the assailant.
Screaming with his hand out reached as if choking a ghost and walking towards the human infiltrator, "TELL ME YOUR NAME! TELL ME YOUR NAME! TELL ME YOUR NAME AND I MIGHT LET YOU LIVE"!
The assailant grasped at his throat, choaking. As his feet were coming off the floor, as if he was being lifted in the air by an invisible noose. "Sahki, my name is Sahki", the assailant was barely able to say.
"Thank you. Now who hired you? Who hired your father", Lucian inquired.
"They will do worse if I tell. I will take their name to the grave", was all the Sahki could get out.
Lucian, with his outstretched hand, started closing his fist slowly. As he did so, you could hear the bones in Sahki's throat cracking. His gasps grew quiet. His arms, grasping his throat, fell to his side. All life left and all that remained was a pale corpse.
A tear fell down Lucian's cheek as he held the lifeless corpse suspened in air. Flashbacks of the horror he had witnessed. The smell of charred bodies and screams of agony across his village were flowing before his eyes. The visions were vivid as if he was living it all again. Then they faded. All that remained was the crew observing and attending to the wounded security officer.
"Sir, it's over! Sir, you can put him down! Sergeant Takke needs your assistance or he wont make it to med bay", Captain Ahkstad stated.
"Yes Captain. Carry on!", Lucian opened his fist, dropped his arm and turned to Sergeant Takke. The lifeless corpse fell to the floor with a loud thud.
"You're going to be okay Sergeant", Lucian said as he placed his hands on the Sergeants wounds.
Closing his eyes and clearing his mind, Lucian was able to heal the Sergeants wounds just enough to allow the medical staff to arrive and begin trauma care.
The trauma team moved Sergeant Takke to a stretcher and started for the medical bay. Lucian, turning toward Captain Ahkstad and commanded, "Continue course to the Ploo Sector. I am to meet General Thurith and report to AMC upon arrival"!
"Yes Sir!", the Captain responded.
Lucian left the bridge and proceeded to head to his state room. He stopped in the corridor and remembered the Hologlide Cam droid was still recording and following him. He had given strict instructions before to the droid never to stop recording unless he specifically said so. The droid had recorded the whole incident.
Lucian turned his head and looked over his shoulder, "Stop Recording"!
Lucian got into his stance, reaching out with his hand and digging deep into himself he was able to conjure the force, directing it towards a pillow that was sitting on the bed. Straining to use the force to pull the pillow to him. The pillow twitched, then moved an inch, the flew across the room towards Lucian. Smacking him in the face.
