Kalistar — Roleplayer Guild

Kaylee had known even before landing on Tatooine that this assignment would be anything but pleasant. Her master had sent her here to investigate a number of mysterious deaths just outside the spaceport of Mos Eisley. She just didn’t realize exactly how unpleasant this task would prove to be. 

She sits in a makeshift medical examiner’s office on the outskirts of the “town.” Those that live in the rows of huts and shacks that make up the residential neighborhood were fearful that some sort of parasite or even a virus had claimed the lives of the victims. So far, there had been nearly 2 dozen victims, and for the most part, they were healthy and showed no signs of ill health, or an attack. 

However, looks can be deceiving. As Kaylee looks over the notes of the doctors who had initially investigated the deaths, she found something disturbing- the brains of the victims had all essentially been liquefied. It was almost as if someone, or something had intentionally done this in order to feed on the victims. She leaves her seat and goes out of the room to find Dr. Shanza, the man who’s reports had brought the Jedi to Tatooine in the first place. She had remembered something from her training, a mention of an alien species whose predations had seemed to match up with the types of attacks that had been occurring here. However, if she remembered correctly, these creatures fed on those adept in the Force, and that did not seem to be the case with these victims. However, Kaylee decides that she will do a little more investigating of the victims themselves, to find out if perhaps any of the victims were Force sensitive. As she walks out into the bright mid-day sun, she immediately sees Dr. Shanza, and approaches him.

“May I have a word, Doctor?” She asks as she motions for him to follow her between a pair of huts, not wanting to have the conversation within earshot of anyone who might be trying to eavesdrop. 

“Of course, Master Jedi.” Shanza said, incorrectly recognizing Kaylee as a Jedi Master, a mistake that he had repeated numerous times since her arrival, to the point that Kaylee suspects that he is doing it intentionally.

“I’ve been looking through your reports, and am I understanding correctly that each of the victims had their brains removed?” Kaylee asks.

“Indeed. It is rather quite strange, I’ve never seen anything like it.” Shanza tells her. “Do you have any idea what could do something like that?” 

“I’m not sure. Doctor, you wouldn’t happen to know if any of the victims were Force users, would you?” She asks, the straightforwardness of her question causes Dr. Shanza to just look at her with a puzzled expression.

“Not that I know of, no.” He says thoughtfully before adding. “Why do you ask?”

“I have heard of instances where,” she pauses, trying to find the right wording. “…things like this have happened. However, from what I understand it was always Force users who were the victims, and there were never this many.”

The doctor is about to question her further but decides to hold his tongue. Kaylee just looks to the doctor and begins to speak again.

“We will get to the bottom of this Dr. Shanza. Now if you will excuse me, I have some research to do.” She says as she bows her head and takes her leave of the doctor, who just stands there in the alley and watches as she walks off into the distance.
