***19 December 2004 –A lot happened

 

I have been in jail for a few days, because the cops managed to catch me. A lot has happened, but well lets start from the beginning à

 

**15 December 2004

 

On the hotel Holotv I saw a picture of myself! I’m WANTED.. again! By the MEPD, for questioning. Yeah right. I’m still feeling mad at them and my head hurts like hell. I feel a bit dizzy. The picture isn’t taken from very close, so my face isn’t very visible on it. It is good that I have another haircut, and I always have other clothing with me. Even a wig is standard inventory for me. It saved me a few weeks ago, after I shot at those stormies and they were looking for me. After a very short breakfast I move to the Starport quickly. I’m happy that I’m in this wretched hive of scum and villany. There are almost no Imperials or cops in this town and I wonder who of all those people and aliens are wanted too. I’m not the only wanted, there are a lot of posters on the walls. With my hooded cloak I make myself invisible in the big crowd of people to find my ship been broken! Then I saw stormtroopers playing customs so I better not take public transport. Darn, why is my ship broken now?

My other (spare) ship is in the Starport of Mos Entha. I better not risk taking public transport, so I jump on my swoop and with my DX2 pistol in my hand I make a big journey to Entha. After about 8 hours traveling I arrive there, in an alley. But it was really not my lucky day, because I got attacked by thugs and the next thing I remember is waking up in the medcentre of Entha with a headache from hell.

So I woke up there, it was the next evening so I apparently slept for about 24 hours. Vernant was standing in front of me, and he seemed very angry. I destroyed his life, O’lis was his fiancée and she had to run because of me. I was still dizzy and not very awake but I remember him being very angry. I told him that I don’t know what he is talking about, because I didn’t want him to know that I am the wanted person from the picture. Then a cop entered the room and he walked towards me, and recognized my face from the day before yesterday. Darn I’m busted! What is going to happen now? Vernant says that he wants to speak with me and I have a very bad concussion so I better stay at the medcentre. But the cop wants to question me, and I’m taken to that building with those Imperial flags. He asks me if I know the person that detonated that bomb, and I seem to be able to convince him that I don’t know anything about this. But I still have to go to jail, I had to go back to the medcentre to be patched up enough so that I can go to jail. I manage to contact the captain via my commlink so that he knows. But I don’t have a very bad feeling about it.. I’m already sentenced for making a riot (doh, who were the ones that started fighting?) they apparently see me as some punk and nothing more. I convince myself that it is going to be all right, just continue acting like a ‘punk’.

They arrested me about two moths ago too, when I was with Twino (my binome at that time). We were a bit drunk and Twino didn’t want to put off his helmet, he came in a fight with a cop and I helped him. Then the whole police force went after us and we had to spend a day in jail too.

In the medcentre I see people get a vaccine against some virus, that first looked like a normal flu but seemed to be much worse. I heard about this epidemic already a few days ago on the Holotv, but haven’t spent much attention to it. Sometimes there are flu epidemics, that is normal. My throat hurts a little bit, could I have catched this virus too? Well we get our vaccines now anyway. But we didn’t get it because some gang stole it, in front of my eyes! And then some Sullustan entered the medcentre, bleeding from his eyes. He looked like some zombie in a horror movie and he died horribly in front of us, and it seemed that the reason was this virus! And the vaccine was gone, and one of the cops took me to jail.

Somebody else was jailed too, but we were locked up at different places. They cuffed me and put me in some isolation cell, I haven’t used any violence, I acted ‘nice’ and now I’m put here, cuffed! I have to spend three days in jail, how am I going to survive this (they found some drugs in my pocket, darn forgotten to remove this in the medcentre or on the street)? I’m afraid that I have the virus too and I don’t want to die in here!

 

**17 and 18 December 2004

 

I was totally bored and scared, because I got sick. I got the symptoms of the virus! I tried to persuade the cops to let me out, I tried a lot of things but nothing worked. I ended up paying 1000 credits to get my comm call and I tried to contact Eleyenora but the connection was very bad, I couldn’t even hear her voice. That was 1k flushed through the toilet. They put me in some medical bay, and there I had to stay, alone. I made a poem in my mind, this is it:

 

I feel like I'm not real

not myself

my hands tied, my feet tied

 

troopers marching on the streets

my mouth shut

everybody scared

 

lies everywhere

invisible chains

anger

 

we are all hypocrite

but do we have a choice?

we are just sheep

 

but rage is growing in me

family taken by them

I forgot my real identity

 

knowing nothing

fearing the future

living in shadows

 

however long the night

the dawn will break

someday we won't be 'rebels' anymore

 

I hope..

 

I hope that I will get that vaccine, I don’t want to die! I’m so scared, I feel too young to die. I’m not finished with my life and I beg the Force to please let people find back that vaccine.

 

**19 December 2004

 

Finally I’m free again, it feels funny even after only three days in jail. I cannot imagine how people can survive longer in jail, like when they have to spend years in it! I think that would be horrible.. but well I’m free now.

The little bothan female cop with light blue hair (she was the one that starting beating me up almost a week ago) told me that the vaccine has been found back. At the Enthan medcentre I get this.. I had almost prepared to die but it will have to wait a little bit longer! It feels a bit weird to be free again, even after ‘only’ three days. I’m happy because of this, and happy that I will be healthy soon again. I meet some people that I know from town and I’m happy that I can talk with people again, after three days of almost total isolation. I allow myself to have a short drink with Mugendo, a businessman that I know since a while. His head is bald, he always wears a long white jacket and he behaves very dignified. I like him. He is willing to buy hides from me, when they are of enough quality, but I haven’t got time yet to get these hides for him. Last time I met him my leg was healing, because a bantha attacked me in the desert and broke my leg. I had to walk leaning on a staff like an old woman for a week because of this. I meet Rapperport too, he is also a member of the Alliance. I don’t exactly know what he is doing for them, but I know that he is ‘one of us’.

 

After the drink I go to the Starport, I see a lot of Imperials everywhere! They check my ID too and it seems all right. I don’t know if they checked the database yet, I hope someday I know if the data is added to it well, like we got our ID’s ourselves at the Imperial Garrison.

I take public transport because of all those Imperials (could attract their attention a bit, when I would jump into my second hand Z95 headhunter) and finally I get to Azaki, almost a week later than planned.
