***7 June 2005 –An unexpected comm call

 

Again I met some 'new' people. I'm getting more and more used to everything and even start to get back some memories, although vaguely.

 

Katerina, Fortune, Orlot, the refugee MESF guy and me were sitting in the cantina, when suddenly Eley's commlink went off. It was still in my pocket, in the rush of what happened after we attacked the 336th Sentinel Companies base I seemed to have forgotten giving it to a superior, and they forgot to ask..

I heard a men's voice on the commlink, it sounded familiar. I took the device with me to a small chamber where I was alone so that I could concentrate, without any background conversations.

The voice sounded really familiar, and then I realized from who-

"(com) Eley I need to speak with you, are you at your house?"

Who else could it be than.. Eley's 'Hammy'..? Lieutenant Hamna Onoxa from the 336th Imperial Sentinel company..!

"(com) do you copy?"

I put on my snobbiest voice, trying to act like I was Eley, hiding my surprise.

"(com) yes I'm there.. I cannot meet you now because I'm busy with some of my.. err medical stuff."

Then 'Hammy' asked how my.. err I mean Eley's leg was.

I said that it was alright.

As I had this guy on the comm I started feeling more and more angry. I would really have liked to call him names, to turn this into some prank call that might relieve some of my frustrations.. but I managed to keep my temper. Although I couldn't get the word 'Hammy' over my lips, hell no.

"(com) How is your face?" He then asked.

"(com) Euh it is getting better.. thank you for asking." I replied.

"(com) You don't sound like Eley.. who are you?!? Identify yourself!"

"(com) Eley Roseward, who would you think else? Whoops.. the connection is getting bad. I'll.. euh.. contact you later!" I then said while interfering the connection, and immediately finished the conversation.

He tried to call back and I turned the device off. I handed over the device to Jordiane, who was talking with Eley Roseward again.. Roseward locked up in a cell again. But this time it was an Alliance cell..

 

Yesterday he had been 'taken' with us to the depot after we attacked the Sentinel’s Company base, blindfolded and sedated. I really wondered why the heck the Alliance took this person to the depot.. yeah she knew things about my past but really I didn't trust her. Jarome spoke out my feelings: she could be a double spy.

Since the Daggerwolves know that Eley's lover is Lt. Onoxa, everybody is very mad at her.. Liakhara had been killed by Onoxa's order. But when they started hurting her physically it felt like too much for me. Maybe it was not very prudent of me, but I just yelled at them that we are not like the empire. I just can't stand watching how people get hurt, I don't know.. I have seen it too much. And done myself..

 

 

 

 

Maybe the others from the Alliance would not like it, but I brought Eley some caf as she asked. I had a lot to make up, a hell of a lot..

 

Full of hate, I have been encouraged to beat up people and such in my Imperial training.. it was necessary and this way I could 'release' my anger, pay back the evil rebels that had hurt me so much, and were still hurting a lot of other people. So with doing the same thing, with hurting people myself, together with the other cadets.. we would make the world better and more peaceful.

 

 

 

We had to hurt people to, in the end, make everybody happy. So because it was for a 'good' cause, it was good to do this. Yeah it was hard especially in the beginning, but we helped each other and just.. got used to it. If I think back to this 'black' time it makes me shudder. How could I have believed in this?

 

After I gave the commlink to Jordiane I had a short talk with Roseward again. I asked the question that I wanted to ask her already since a while: why had I been a slave of the Garrison?

"You were committed kid, you were a problem." She answered.

"A problem? Why?"

"Disturbing an Imperial speech.. not the best of ways to get a good reputation around there.."

This made me grin a bit. So I seemed to have had the guts to disturb some Imperial speech and got enslaved for this.. but.. I apparently had dared to do this! I wondered how I had done this.. Those details Eley couldn't tell me.
