"Yeah but why was it in a Sith Temple that doubled as one of the Emperor's storehouses? This doesn't add up why would he take effort to hide you with...whatever the kriff is there? And why does this thing look like the Chambers they found in Yavin? This really doesn't add up."

"Maybe they fed you false information clone, the Emperor was making preparations for the Empire since the clone wars." Holdo said

Hirog continued to cower.

"I have seen the contents of the pod with my own eyes. She is simply a woman. We were not stored in a sith temple originally, so if that is where you found us we must have been moved for some reason." Carter's voice was calm, levelled with a tiny bit of artificial confusion to sell the idea that he was confused about having been found in that location. It seems Palpatine had really not expected his prize to be found by someone else, huh... "And regardless of what they are or are not, my orders are to protect her. So if you plan anything that may cause her harm I will be forced to stop you."

“AHHHH PLEASE DON’T HURT ME!”

The bugman began to shout incoherently as he began to hide behind the guards.

“Why won’t you disarm him?!”

“We don’t know what's in it. I don’t want to touch it in fact since the Emperor died I wanted to keep the various warlords fighting over the scraps from getting access to this or just...blowing it up? Is it a bioweapon? A new power armor? A monster? Because it looks like this monster’s pod we encountered a few years back called the Night Beast.” Earhen asked.

@Guy of Z

"It's just a woman sir." Carter says, concealing a smirk at the intense reaction from the bug as he flicks safety back on. "She was put under my protection and in cryo stasis to protect her from sepratists. She was a high ranking official of a small outer rim mining colony; if the seperatists killed her they'd be able to take control of the planet, so we kept her safe to ensure it didn't fall into their hands."

This of course was completely untrue, and given a deep enough research into the fine details of the clone war it could be disproven that such a planet didn't exist, but his superiors made sure to give a believable enough cover that only VERY few would be able to do the detective work.

“This is Hirog...I am present on the Alliance ship Maria as an envoy for Admiral Ackbar...those fools won’t suspect the brilliant cunning of the Glorious Hiromi Empire when I will abscond with the extremely dangerous and mysterious Sith artifact from the Imperial Storehouse...yes this plan is flawless. When we unlock the weapon the Emperor stored we will conquer the galaxy with it!” speaking into a comm device spoke outside of the hallway.

“Update me with your success first officer.” The device replied

“All in the name of the glorious destiny of the Hiromi Empire Yaaay!”

As the confrontation occurred the group were interrupted by the arrival of Hirog...froze suddenly at the sight of an Armed Jango Fett clone before a dark skinned young man with striking natural white hair and a woman with contrasting dyed green hair.

“Oh boy….can someone explain to me what's happening here?” He meekly raised his exoskeletoned finger at the group looking at a sentient bearing a shotgun.

“Oh good thing you’re here Hirog...on the topic of my payment...it's gonna be extra for this confrontation I just defused with the clone.”

“What the hell is happening I DIDN’T ORDER YOU TO OPEN THE PODS!”

“Blame Vice Admiral Aposematism here not me guy.”

"Hey I was checking if it wasn't a bob or something you selfish bastard!"

“Its good its not the main pod, now let me take it so I can take it to Admiral Ackbar.”

This was going just as planned YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

“Ok just give me my money, gas isn’t cheap.”

“Fine I’ll mail it to you in time. Now get the clone out.”

“That's not how it works I want it upfront bug boy. I told the Admiral that I keep telling him this.”

“I don’t have the time for this you credit pinching merc!”

“I'M NOT A CHARITY HIROG!”

“GET THE KRIFF OUT OF THE WAY AND LET ME DO MY JOB!”

@Guy of Z

Carter raised an eyebrow at the interesting interaction before him, before stepping forward. "Sorry sir, my orders are to protect the VIP in the 'main pod'. You'll need to tell me why you're so interested in them." There was a subtle flick of a safety. Carter didn't fully intend to get in a fight with this.... Weird looking alien, but it was more a subtle show of force that he wouldn't be afraid to blast the creature if his job called for it.

Star Wars: The Aftermath (A post-Battle of Endor RP)

"Thats a long story you see after the Clone Wars the Republic became an Empire because Palpatine claimed the Jedi tried to assassinate him and turned the Republic into an Empire and all that fun stuff. The Senate being full of monarchies and dictatorships thought it was the tightest spast and kept going for the next oh 20 Years or so before getting dissolved after they built the Deathstar, a superweapon that can crack worlds."

Earhen continued rambling on with the historical lesson

"Get to the point dammit!" Holdo yelled.

The nearby guards were tense as well but what could they do a Vat grown killing machine holding their commanding officer hostage.

"Fiiine I was enlightening this gentlemen on the current state of Galactic politics excuse me for being enthusiastic. We were initially the Alliance to restore the Republic then the Alliance of free Planets now we're the New republic now. Basically the new boss to your old boss cloney."

@Guy of Z

"I see..." Carter said. So the chancellor overthrew the Jedi order and became the leader of an empire for two decades before being kicked out of power by these New Republic people. This brought to question the idea of 'what now?'. His loyalty did technically lie with the republic last he checked, but he fought directly underneath Palpatine. Not to mention his cover was a Couroscant guard soldier. Were these people his enemies or allies? He thought for a moment...

His objectives were to keep Vehia's nature secret and to follow her orders...

Well, that solves that dillema. Carter lowers his gun, stepping into a simple at-attention stance with safety on and barrel to the floor. "In that case, specialist CT 6871, codename Carter. I worked as part of the Corouscant guard until being tasked with acting the bodyguard for a high risk VIP named Vehia by the Jedi council. Speaking of which, where might the cryopod for her be located?"

Star Wars: The Aftermath (A post-Battle of Endor RP)

“Don’t just stand there Earhen! Use your Echani Martial arts to save me!”

“I'm fine right here, not unless you can like triple my payment here? I thought you didn’t need me and some spast babe.”

“Oh Kriff off!”

“Fine you deal with the angry Mandalorian clone while I call Hirog about my Fee.”

Holdo looked back at the clone with a shotgun pointed into her direction.

“Okay okay okay I’ll triple your price just get him to lower his gun!”

“Ok clone just informing you…it's been two decades since the clone wars ended.” The dark skinned white haired Human with silver eyes began to explain.

@Guy of Z

"20 odd years, right. Seems I have a lot of catch up work to do." Carter slowly steps out of the cryopod, keeping his shotgun ready but not directly aimed at Holdo. From the display given she was clearly not a threat, and while this other guy was far more competant, he seemed to be neutral enough. All the same he'd be cautious, scanning the room for anything else of note, including the pod containing his mission target, his footsteps slow and precice as he backed off from the woman who had woken him up. If nothing else, these two could prove helpful with catching him up on the time he'd spent in the deep freeze. "First off, who are you two?"

Star Wars: The Aftermath (A post-Battle of Endor RP)

New Republic Defense Force Fleet undisclosed location

“I keep telling you Holdo don’t kriff with it it could be anything here.”

“The Republic pays you to do odd jobs not give advice to Mr Sun jr.”

“Stop calling me that retarded nickname its not cute.”

“I’ll call you what I want so far Merc, this is my ship; my mission and we need everything we can get against the several dozen warlords and the mainstream Empire.”

“Look...Vice Admiral…(Why the kriff is a Vice Admiral in charge not a real one) I don’t know what the hell is in these pods, the datafiles said they look like that thing on Yavin that kriffed up the base there before before it took off into space. You really wanna risk that?”

“Don’t tell me what I'm willing to risk Mr Merc, we fight every day for your enterprise.”

“I have a name Vice Admiral please use it.” Earhen couldn’t believe the nerve of this woman, if he wasn’t keeping his stuff secret he'd go off about how much bad shit was put into the Emperors storehouses, he'd know he had to collect some of the spast stored in them he had to collect them. Of course they never told him the exact locations he had to do the digging on his own for thule along with finding some Imperial Guard and making them “cooperate”.

“Kriff you don’t know what's in it, help me out here guys!”

(He has a point you know there were Blackhole Stormtroopers and everything.)

“Look bunny boys I get you were sent by Mon Mothma to monitor this kid but please know your place here. I know what Im doing”

(Excuse me? Just because you are a biped with opposable thumbs doesn't make you better than us nor does it give you the right to snap at us for relying information Ma'am.)

“No offense intended but before the Alliance found your planet you were off living in caves feeding off of energy. You haven’t seen the galaxy like my people have and its challenges you simple little guys should know a star destroyer is more dangerous than a Silvyth or a uh “Darker”.”

“Look Holdo before you cause an international incident on top of a kriffing disaster in your own ship just listen to me for five seconds. Something bad will come out of that pod if you open it I know what I'm talking about.”

“Zip it.”

“God you are gonna get us all killed…”

“Open the smaller pod first.” Holdo commanded her soldiers to begin prying it open. After a few minutes of tampering with the controls it opened revealing a clone of Jango Fett.

“Oh a clone stormtrooper, be sure to throw it into the brig when it wakes up.”

“Lucky try this time Holdo don’t be stupid here.”

“I'm opening it mercenary, you can leave if you’re so scared.”

“And miss the chance to watch you die?”

@SansTheMedic

@Guy of Z

Almost as soon as that last sentence was finished, Holdo would find the barrel of a DP-23 shotgun pressed to her temple, the clone's eyes open and staring coldly at her through the visor of the salmon-highlighted helmet.

SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR

"You understand your objective, soldier?" The officer across the table asked as CT-6871, codename Carter, made some final preperations on his equipment.

"I am to act as a bodyguard to the entity known as Vehia under the orders of chancellor palpatine, with a cover of being a member of the Couroscant guard. I am to accept orders from either the chancellor or the girl in my charge and nobody else. I am to ensure her nature is not revealed to anyone at all costs, and ensure that if any spills occur to mop it up appropriately. Is that correct, sir?" Carter asked as he slid his weaponary into the appropriate slots on his armour before putting his phase ii helmet on

"Correct. You will be entering cryo-statis inside the storage facility Vehia is being kept in and will be thawed out upon the opening of either of your pods. You will most likely be woken either by one of our own or by the chancellor himself."

"And if I am not, sir?"

"How you approach that and any similar situation is up to you. You'll be acting under your own instinct and wit for the most part, 6871."

"Understood, sir."

PRESENT DAY

Carter could tell quite easily that this wasn't someone who was supposed to have woken him, unless things had changed significantly while he had been in cryo stasis. However he could also tell that this place was not where he had been stored, so there was a likelyhood that he was in potentially hostile territory. Still, his gun was up and inches from the oddly-haired woman's face, and he was gonna be very concice with his words. No point in not making himself clear to these people.

"I don't want to start a fight if I don't need to" he says slowly, voice level and deliberate, "But you aren't what I expected to see when I went into stasis so you best tell me who you are. Any bullshitting and I will blast you, and you don't contend with clones when it comes to making a good shot."

Star Wars: The Aftermath (A post-Battle of Endor RP)

CT 6871 Carter

Big image bois

Name: CT 6871 “Carter”

Age: 15 or so? Would probably look like mid-to-late 20s.

Race: clone trooper

Brief Bio:
Carter is a Spaarti clone trooper and member of the 14th infantry brigade, who were created by Lord Palpatine himself near the end of the clone wars. Due to the point in time at which he was created, Carter only managed to get sent on a few missions, but had proved himself to be a dedicated and skilled soldier during them; enough so that the senator himself caught wind of the trooper’s prowess. Impressed, and with need to protect a recently acquired specimen from the old Sith order; Palpatine called Carter up from his service and stationed him as bodyguard of the entity known as “Vehia”. Carter was given the amount of time he needed to select gear to be taken with him, was briefed on what exactly he was to do, and was sealed into a cryo-stasis pod and placed in the warehouse alongside that he was to guard; the pod set to thaw him out if Vehia’s were ever opened.

Carter’s orders were precise and had two objectives. The first was to ensure that when Vehia was activated, she wouldn’t let slip of her true nature, or at the very least any slips were to be cleaned up with 0 witnesses to spread the word. The second was to stay at Vehia’s side and, unless contradicting the 1st objective, follow her requests and instructions. Due to this, as well as the fact he was in cryo-sleep as the order was given; Carter missed the call to kill the Jedi that came with the fall of the republic and the rise of the empire. He is loyal to the orders he was given now, whatever that may end up meaning for those around him.

Faction: Due to his orders, Carter has no strict loyalty other than to Vehia. If the emperor were still around this may be different, but that man has recently been removed from power, leaving Carter’s only superior to technically be the bioweapon in his charge.

Personality: Carter has always had a professional air to him, acting almost more like an officer than a soldier at times. This doesn’t mean he was ever cold or strict as a person, just that he took his duties with a certain stoicism. This does add a slight predictable side to him though; as using whether he’s acting rather relaxed and cool-headed or silent and focused can tell you whether you’re in the clear or if he’s about to start blasting anyone in sight he deems an obstacle in his tasked mission.

Physical description: Carter looks about as masculine and well built as one would expect for a clone trooper, however his body is considerably less scared than the average clone due to his low mission count. One would not be too blameable for thinking him to be a shiny if you took a look at his face. He has one scar across his lower left side thanks to a close encounter with a B-2 super, but that’s still far less than several of the veteran troopers out there.

Equipment:

• DP-23 shotgun
• DC-17S silenced blaster pistol
• A few thermal detonators, just in case
