@Dr. Snark: I add my voices to those congratulating you on a very emotive piece of writing in the last update. I have to ask though, what did the peace talks actually achieve? The action listed "reputation, short truce and ???" as rewards, what was the "???"? And what sort of peace is it? I am imagining what was negotiated was some sort of humanitarian truce where both sides have paused to allow aid to be delivered and refugees to evacuate etc.

Ah. Well in more practical terms it's basically what you've described where the truce is mainly humanitarian in nature, where both sides will agree to stop fighting over particularly battered systems like Mygeeto to allow aid and refugee evacuation to happen. The ??? basically resulted in Mygeeto and Maridun joining the CNS as the Lurmen hate war and were all too happy to join up for the chance to end the bloody battle taking place on their homeworld, as well as adding onto the momentum of the Munnilist recovery action to get them to join the CNS for free as well.

Publicola · Jan 21, 2017

All right, folks, here's the update to the Council of Neutral Systems Index (these changes will be included when I post the updated map after all the interludes are completed):

For Maridun, I'm just going to count that as the whole sector -- it's sparsely populated enough (and the only other notable planet in the system has good enough reason to want to be out of the war -- Atraken's population had to resettle on the moon after its planet was devastated in battle) that it doesn't change much to claim the whole thing.

Outer Rim:
Rollion sector
- Atraken: rich in Doonium (rare, used for capital-ship hulls), mining colony & refugee settlement on moon Trilos (governed by Atrakenite Guild of Miners)
- Maridun: refugee world settled by Lurmen fleeing the war-ravaged Mygeeto, later targeted by CIS 'Defoliator' superweapon

As for Muunilist and Mygeeto, the challenge was connecting both systems with Neutral Space around Kalee, without making things too easy for the CNS. I had to cut a few sectors in half (or quarters) to ensure it didn't get too ridiculous. No map yet, but here's the Outer Rim sectors map for reference (Muunilist and Mygeeto are at the top of the map, almost due north of the galactic core). You can also use this searchable galaxy map to explore.

Albarrio sector
- Aris: rainforest world, sector capital and trade world on junction of Braxant Run and Relgim Run hyperlanes
- Mygeeto: childhood home of Hego Damask, rich in nova crystals (currency) and relacite (lightsabers), site of Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank vaults

Velcar sector
- Entralla: trade world along Entralla Route hyerlane, headquarters of Guild of Interstellar Merchants, site of Overhang industrial district

Clacis sector

Obtrexta sector
- Muunilist: primary Muun world, headquarters of both IGBC and Damask Holdings, site of 'High Port' station, 'Aborah' labs, and 'Mariunhus' vault-spire

Carrion sector
- Sojourn: Muun outpost called "Hunters' Moon" (near-extinct game animals cloned by Kamino), site of ancient Sith fortress used by Hego Damask

Given the sheer number of Muun client worlds in the area, and our reputation among most minor systems in the Outer Rim, I suggest that our auto-recruitment roll next turn should probably consolidate any holdout systems in the sectors listed below. (...With the notable exception of Scipio, what with Rush Clovis's resistance, Palpatine's desire to claim the planet's bank vaults for himself, and the sheer amount of money that's found planet-side. We can leave Scipio for an unusually high auto-roll or our personal intervention via Diplomacy/Stewardship action).

On an unrelated note:

Dr. Snark said:
If nothing else, your pragmatic side notes, after this you're politically nigh-untouchable and Jango will likely be freed up soon so that he can be recruited by you.

@Dr. Snark, I re-read the update and noticed this at the end. That sounds like we'll basically be waiting a turn, and then will be allowed to add Jango as a new Hero unit. Am I reading that right...?

Stealthy said:
So, as it turns out, Rush Clovis is a Senator double dealing with the Separatists for his own profit. This is an unacceptable violation of the Abyss Watcher's official policy of "nobody gets to play both sides of the war for profit besides Lady Ciaran," (and the Hutts, but they don't really count). The fact that Palpatine used him as a plot to add the Banks to his ever growing set of executive powers is just an added plus.

he might not be doing that illegally now, if he wants to play both sides he could likely use the CNS as a middle man and be doing a lot of the same kind of stuff while only violating the spirit of the law.

Publicola · Jan 21, 2017

Also, I didn't want to get this confused with the earlier list, but here's an index of all notable systems in the sectors around Muunilist & Mygeeto. Depending on our auto-roll next turn, most of these will probably be added to CNS space at that point.

Albarrio sector
- Aris: rainforest world, sector capital and trade world on junction of Braxant Run and Relgim Run hyperlanes
- Anemcoro: low-tech colony world of Ho'Din race (botanists), known for ecological & medical exports
- Bar Neth: originally a desert world, now thoroughly terraformed and known as a tourism & resort destination
- Mygeeto: childhood home of Hego Damask, rich in nova crystals (currency) and relacite (lightsabers), site of Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank vaults
- Scipio: ice world, homeworld of Muun race, childhood home of Rush Clovis, site of IGBC 'Main Vault Fortress'
- Oasis: mining colony located in Maelstrom Nebula, rich in oxite (ore), site of abandoned Maelstrom Prison space station

Clacis sector
- Gwori: Muun client world, headquarters of Gwori Revolutionary Industries, site of Gwori Shipyards (produce Munificent-class frigates)

Velcar sector

Perinn sector

Carrion sector
- Sojourn: Muun outpost called "Hunters' Moon" (populated by near-extinct game animals), site of ancient Sith fortress used by Hego Damask

Dynali sector
- Taspir III: heavily polluted volcanic planet, economy based on heavy manufacturing around lakes of molten lava

Obtrexta sector
- Muunilist: primary Muun world, headquarters of both IGBC and Damask Holdings, site of 'High Port' station, 'Aborah' labs, and 'Mariunhus' vault-spire
- Jaemus: site of Jaemus Shipyard (largest outside Core Worlds) run by Galentro Heavy Works, trade nexus on Braxant Run and Myto's Arrow hyperlanes

The above are the main sectors between & around Mygeeto and Kalee. I figured those would be the recruiting priority before our diplomats try to stretch Neutral Space to tie Mygeeto with our (more distant) main region around Taris and Mandalore. The map, for reference.

There's also the following sectors to consider; they're a bit further away from the Mygeeto-Kalee corridor, but these systems notably include Dantooine, and most of these systems either have ties to us or to the Muun (given the amount of mining and commerce going on). We should either pick these up next turn or the turn after:

Braxant sector
- Sartinaynian: Muun client world, trade terminus of Braxant Run hyperlane, later renamed 'Bastion' by Imperial Remnant

Myto sector
- Criton's Point: isolated planet, site of undisturbed 'Library of Xer' (c. 26,000 BBY) that studied the Force (vault includes a surviving Force-imbued plant)
- Dubrillion: idyllic world dotted with high-rise cities, site of 'Belt-Runner I' asteroid mining station and Destrillion tibanna gas platform
- Gabredor III: unpopulated jungle planet, site of slave camp/transfer center run by Karazak Slavers Cooperative

Raioballo sector

Relgim sector
- Ord Trasi: urbanized planet, rich in most natural resources (heavy mining), known for shipyards (produces capital ships), defensive space stations

Finally, because it'd make life easier to just post the info I have rather than keep it as a draft (sigh...) I also have a bunch of info for various other systems.

Yes, but the way the writing was going raised a lot of death flags in my mind. Too much grimdark anime and shows for me probably.

UbeOne · Jan 21, 2017

You might want to watch and read something more hopeful and optimistic then.

Fabula Amanti · Jan 21, 2017

Yeah, but those shows make me want giant robot fights, punching evil in the face without considering the consequences and shipping charts. Lots and lots of shipping charts. The pit there is just as deep as the abyss of angst.

I would recommend watching Pacific Rim. Not anime, but then again neither is Star Wars and in general Star Wars has always had hope.

Fabula Amanti · Jan 21, 2017

I have in fact watched Pacific Rim. It is, as Honest Trailers put it, an awesomely stupid or stupidly awesome movie. Like every other superhero movie today. Nice to look at but filled with dumb plot holes and devices.

Star wars is like that too. If you ignore the litter of bad hollywood decisions, it is a really simple and good 'soft' scifi setting. Good vs Evil. Flashy and pretty battles. Straight forward stories. And that little bit of hope at the end. Though you could say all the loose ends it leaves it is what allowed it's EU to exist, as well as the new canon.

That's why I'm sort worried about the direction Disney is going with Star Wars. Marvel has never been more gritty on the big screen. DC too. And Star Wars itself was rife with massacres and genocides, though it's swept over most of the time.

...where am I going with this again? :???:

XenonPrime · Jan 21, 2017

Man, Ciaran is doing more to 'defeat' the CIS than the Republic military.

What the hell happens if the CIS is outright absorbed into the CNS? Or a majority of systems pretty much asks for protection?

The war stops? Seriously though, that seems rather unlikely given both the number of CIS systems and the fact that we know OOC that the Sith are behind the whole thing.

NexysDhyArchen · Jan 21, 2017

Here's a thought: Mutual Alliance of 'defense' for the CNS and Huttspace. Suddenly a third of the galaxy is not involved in the war... enthusiastically.

Diomedea · Jan 21, 2017

Palps at this point has to drag the CNS into the war. Unfortunately for him, the CIS is doing much better than they're supposed to be doing, with the whole lack of Jedi Generals thing, so rather than paint the CNS as the CIS with a different coat, he might have to have the CIS attack us instead.

I wouldn't say that that's why. I mean the whole Jedi General thing was a complete absurdity that makes no sense. The ability to telekinetically throw rocks around and wave around a glowy sword does not automatically make you actually capable in the field of battlefield command, strategy, and tactics. For sure, there were a few very competent Jedi at the whole General thing, but it wasn't because they were Jedi. Putting Jedi in command of the republic army instead of people with actual large-scale battle experience and people who were already veteran military commanders was dumbfuck stupid.

Thats the idea, make the Jedi look bad to the public of the galaxy.

Probably, no mention of it though.

You gotta admire Palpy's balls though, he put all those Orders out in the public eye, including Order 66, and NOBODY made a fuss about it. None of the Jedi found it unusual...

Without the chips any Executive Order has to be considered through the lens of people receiving and carrying out the order. It's reasonable even, given how the Jedi are only loosely under their command by being a separate religious order, while personally powerful enough that anything short of the order in the event of Jedi going rogue would be very hard to stop without it.

With the chips...

In light of our upcoming Wesker assault mini-arc, I figured I'd check out the sectors between Neutral Space and the Wesker facility -- which, per your 'Ouroboros' Interlude last turn:

Dr. Snark said:
Speaking of said base it's on a planet roughly between Lorrd and Thalassia. From what data we've recovered it's a relatively normal planet by all accounts, codenamed "Ouroboros."

@Dr. Snark: here are the five sectors that lie in that direction:

Morshdine sector
- Edusa: member of Ciutric Hegemony, industrialized trade world along Axxila-Tangrene hyperlane
- Tangrene: homeworld of Tangrene race (peaceful nomads), mountainous planet with population based around underground lakes
- Vandyne: member of Ciutric Hegemony, industrialized trade world along Axxila-Tangrene hyperlane

Nijune sector
- Aar: homeworld of Aar'aa race (bloodthirsty mercenaries, employed by Huts and the t'landa Til)

Meram sector
- Arcanum: Sith space station originally used as storehouse for dark-sided Sith artifacts, including 'Seeds of Rage' and 'the Darkstaff'
- Demesel: steppe world, trading hub for consortium of Core World corporations
- Kauron: homeworld of Kauronian race, site of Cavrilhu Pirates asteroid base (with anti-Jedi holding cells)
- Regalia: site of 'Regalia Sub-Space Station 12' research laboratory
- Thalassia: homeworld of Thalassian race (slavers), port of call for 'Thalassian Pirates' gang

Mieru'kar sector

Kanz sector
- Lorrd: homeworld of Lorrdian culture (kinetic communication), rich in Lorrdian crystals (for lightsabers), site of 'Crypt of Martyrs' and 'Lorrd University'
- Bimmiel: site of Yuuzhan Vong survey station (!), near MZX32905 asteroid field that contains The Home, the mansion of Darth Vectivus

I'm personally inclined to place the Ouroboros base in the Meram sector. Not only does Meram cover most of the area between Lorrd and Thalassia, but it's filled to brimming with planets and space stations that just fit the whole Resident Evil theme. A Sith artifact storehouse? A pirate asteroid base? A disreputable corporate trading hub? A slave-gang starport? Yeah, no wonder Wesker felt comfortable enough to put his base there -- he fit right in!

I also hope this list was useful in case you want to plot our the route our forces would take -- most likely up through the Morshdine systems, which would put us in contact with the nascent Ciutric Hegemony.

Also, if we do end up inviting Anakin or another Jedi to help us out, we should consider that they might get distracted by the Arcanum station, or (if Anakin) might want our assistance with an off-books side-mission to eradicate that Thalassian Pirate slave gang....

Alternately, we might discover that Wesker's base was funded by some of those Core World corporations that maintain facilities on Demesel. Or, since Demesel was colonized back during the Old Republic, perhaps the original colony was long since abandoned/forgotten, and Wesker's 'Ouroboros' base is Demesel.

Finally, because there's only four sparsely populated sectors left, let's finish the info dump on the sectors in the far northern Outer Rim, wrapping around the Veragi Trade Route to connect our Muunilist holdings with Neutral Space.

Chopani sector

Veragi sector
- Nharl: homeworld of Equani race (horse people), site of Republic superweapon testing facility that accidentally destroyed the planet (in 23 BBY)
- Revyia: homeworld of Revwien race (plants), center of 'Tyia Adept' light-side Force sect, site of 'Revyia Temple'
- Asation: member of Gree Enclave, major trading center and only Gree port-world accessible to non-Gree races, site of 'Grand Hypergate'
- Gree: capital of Gree Enclave, homeworld of Gree race (cephalopods), center of 'Administrator' caste (Gree government)
- Lonatro: member of Gree Enclave, major agriworld, site of Lonatro Zoo and Gardens (biological & botanical reserve)
- Malanose: member of Gree Enclave, center of 'Researcher' & 'Crafter' castes ('material synthesis' technologists), site of Totth'k Lotos (Garden of Youth)
- Te Hasa: member of Gree Enclave, artificial desert world, site of 'Great Library of Manuals' (repository for all Gree knowledge and artifacts)

Dalonbian sector
- Sernpidal: colony word of Sernpidalian race, mining world (with many underground aquifer farms), site of Darth Zhorrid's estate, near 'Vector Prime'

Spinward sector

(...Veragi sector is interesting. Besides the 'ho-hum' light-sided Force sect that Palpatine doesn't know about, it also contains a high-tech insular Gree Enclave/empire that has access to functioning hypergates -- no hyperlane travel necessary -- and a literal Garden of Youth. Fortunately, the Gree are so insular that we most likely wouldn't have access to their tech, and reverse-engineering it would apparently require us to have six tentacled limbs....)

Reactions to Treaty of Caamas (The Shadows)

The Malevolence, Unknown System
Shortly After the Treaty of Caamas

Dim lights flicker on inside of a dark circular room. The air is suddenly disturbed as the door to the chamber slides open allowing a dark robed figure to walk through. The atmosphere quickly grows tense and an invisible pressure pushes against the walls. Even though the man standing in the center seems calm, a violent storm rages inside of his mind. When the holo-emitter starts to hum, Count Dooku kneels before the forming image of a figure whose face is covered by even darker robes.

"The new Mandalore appears to have ideas of his own, my Master."

"Do not be a fool, my apprentice. This new Mandalore is but a puppet for someone else. Someone whose influence has grown to be too large of an annoyance."

Count Dooku's eyes narrow just the slightest.

"Lady Ciaran."

"Correct."

"You believe her to be a threat?"

Count Dooku's eyes glance upwards towards the standing holo-video of Darth Sidious when a silent moment passes.

"Are you afraid of a simple dilettante, my apprentice?"

Dooku grits his teeth before rejecting the idea.

"No. It is just that I had thought you had found uses for her."

"She is useful no longer. Her pathetic attempts to gain power to sate her own greed have proven to be too much of a nuisance for my schemes. You are to restart your own paltry attempts on her life."

"She will be dealt with my master."

"Do not delude yourself. Your attempts will fail. After all, your previous ones were ineffective even when she did not have her fingers in a galactic entity."

Dooku attempts to rein in his temper. He allows himself to revel in the power his anger gives him. In a moment he calms down. He chides himself for allowing his anger to take control if even for a moment for he knows that his master would have noticed.

Dooku asks in his calm baritone, "Then how will we go about seeing her fall?"

Sidious points at Dooku and states, "You will put pressure on the remaining CIS systems to fall in line under you. You will use the time thrust upon you to marshal your forces and ready yourself to push further into Republic space. If the populace wishes for peace we must then show them the truth that peace is a lie. See to it. You are to also put pressure economically on the CNS. Ciaran's lifeblood is trade and we shall see to it that such trade is strangled at its roots. Start with the blackmail we have. Spread it and her reputation will start to fall."

"Is it not safe to assume that such an attack will fail to harm her?"

"It is not supposed to harm her. It is supposed to leave her open to other attacks. From all sides she will be forced to defend. In the end she will be weak and without allies. It is then that from the darkness her final defeat shall arise. Go and make it so."

Dooku's head bows lower.

"As you command."

The holo-video of Darth Sidious cuts out but Count Dooku does not rise. He balls a fist and seethes. Eventually he stands up to his usual stance. Tall and regal he uses the Force to start another call. After a few minutes, another person's image fades in. A Chiss female in the trappings of an admiral lies kneeling in front of the Count.

"Tann, you have new orders. You are to collect your forces and move to quash the rebels at Onderon. Once there you are to wait for further reinforcements. The next stage of the invasion is about to commence."

Sev'rance Tann's head turns her blank face up towards her master.

"Am I not to start the attack on Sullust?"

"Our goal is to bring the Republic down crashing. We cannot do that if a large amount of our forces are in a quagmire due to fighting peasants. You are to eliminate any resistance as well as deal with any incompetence as you see fit. Those are your orders. See to it."

The Chiss' own head bows low once more.

"As you will, my master."

Dooku cuts the connection and then turns around. He leaves the chamber dark once more. He walks back to the bridge thinking of plans dealing with a certain Blonde Miraluka.

So even my Master was unable to foresee your emergence onto the scene. I find myself intrigued with you even more, Lady Ciaran. If I had been able to influence you further towards the CIS, I would have had a powerful tool easily lead by the simple promise of credits. Now though, even Sidious has found you to be more annoying than useful. Your demise will thus finally prove short in coming. People like you are not meant to thrive in the coming new order. They are meant to submit.

Chancellor's Chambers, Coruscant
Shortly After the Meeting with the Count

Palpatine finds himself meditating. It is not often that one of his plans is so easily dismissed. He knows that such a chaotic time would see to it to throw spanners his way but never would he have thought that such a large irritation would crop up its head. And that is what it is, an irritation. Palpatine smiles as he rearranges his plans. His primary one is still on track. His popularity in the senate continues to climb and with the war sure to take even longer now due to a lull, he will have plenty of time to gather further power and weaken the Jedi. Even the noisy senator from his own homeworld, Senator Padme Amidala Naberrie, has chosen not to stand against the tide of war. A snarl escapes though as he realizes that such an outcome likely came from said irritation.

Lady Ciaran. At first she was only a small factor. A business woman who got lucky with her investments in Naboo, Sidious quickly came to find out over the years that her factor would only grow. That was fine, after all she had her own uses. Unknowingly she helped to organize the separatists and even seemed to have had thrown some fuel on the fire by helping see that the buffoon Nute Gunray was allowed to roam free after the first trial. Even afterwards, his own work to see to it that the re-trial fell victim to the same problems proved to be spectacularly more easy than expected. He was unable to find solid proof but it was simple enough to infer who was behind it. Sidious was surprised that her own employees even bothered to continue said help but it just added more levers for later. Palpatine wasn't surprised when she came back. He had actually assumed she would. He knew that she had the resources to see it done. But he had also assumed that she would come back paranoid, afraid, and weak. She did not. She somehow came back stronger.

At first her use seemed to grow. She started by growing both the republic and even the separatists. Her own plans might have seen those who did not wish for war grouped together but you had seen it as bringing to light those who would need to be dealt with in the end. Also, neutrals could always be brought into the fight whenever it was deemed time for it. Or so the thought went. Instead, a supposedly useless and loosely tied confederacy grew into a unified bastion which neither the Republic nor the Confederacy could be seen to coerce or attack or even persuade to one side. In fact, the CNS even worked to repair the trade lanes as the galaxy began to burn! All this came about from one single person.

Lady Ciaran, your usefulness has come to an end. The galaxy will be shown suffering until I am able to come to power. The Jedi will be destroyed and their ashes blown away. You are only a speed bump on my rise to power and nothing more.

Palpatine finally rises from his sitting position. He walks towards his own chamber's exit and allows the blue-skinned and tusked Mas Amedda to fall in behind him.

"Vice Chairman, it seems to me that the Republic must not only defeat the separatists militarily but also economically."

Amedda's eyes glance towards the chancellor before returning to the hallway.

Amedda remarks, "It would make our victory that much easier, yes."

Palpatine's sweet and sickly smile grows on his face.

"Exactly. Therefore, anyone who is seen to be dealing with them is surely an enemy of the Republic and should be considered a traitor, no?"

Amedda nods.

"Well then, the task is clear enough. Now, to figure out the implementation."

The two walk further down the hall seemingly alone but for their guards. Unknown to those not in touch with the Force and even able to hide away from the Sith in their midst, a dark phantom shadows the group. If the phantom would choose to coalesce, then a certain Muun known to be dead might be seen. Hego Demask, Darth Plagueis, sneers at his former apprentice.

Even in the safety of your power your arrogance will prove your undoing. You see only that which makes itself known. You do not delve further for there is no use for it yet. Your plans only account for that which you choose to account for. All the while your enemy has her own plans. Whoever comes out on top between the two of you, the one thing I know is that they will be weakened. For her, such weakness would prove difficult but not fatal. For you … you have never suffered true challenge. You will find yourself on your knees looking at those you thought were only tools. Whatever they prove to be: the Republic, Separatists, or even the Jedi, I will be there savoring every bit of your downfall. My how the tables will turn, apprentice.

Author's Notes: I was bored.

Panory · Jan 21, 2017

Reciprocation

Cheriss Sair was leaning her elbow on the counter in front of her, repeatedly making the robotic arm in front of her bend at the elbow. Ostensibly, she was stress testing the new material to ensure that it would be able handle extended use without maintenance, but in reality she was just filling time. Apparently creating robotic limbs capable of using the Force was a lot more boring than she had initially thought.

Her attention was grabbed by Var Zheen entering the room and sitting down at his own station to work on his own research. Seeing as the Givin wasn't interested in making conversation, she turned back to the robotic limb that was bending and unbending at ninety degree angles.

"Oh, by the way, your boyfriend is pacing a hole in the floor outside." said Var Zheen nonchalantly after a few minutes.

Cheriss sat straight up before practically running to the door, slowing down a bit to look a bit less eager to see Galvin. Playing her opening line in her head, Cheriss opened the door and leaned up against the frame. "You know, the lab is open."

Galvin startled and stopped pacing. "Oh, I just didn't want to interrupt you in the middle of something important."

"Don't worry, you couldn't interrupt me from something important if you tried. I was just stress testing the new prosthetics. Didn't think robotics could be so boring. So what brings you down to the labs? I thought you said your grandfather dragged you off into the middle of nowhere for something." asked Cheriss.

"Indeed he did, but apparently the stuff there is the kind of thing Ciaran will want to deal with personally. You know how she is." said Galvin.

Cheriss thought of defending her boss, before remembering that she was the type of woman to employ deceased Sith Lords. Galvin was absolutely right that anything weird and Force related was something she'd insist on looking at herself. "Yeah, you're probably right." admitted Cheriss with a sigh.

"But I didn't come away empty handed. Jedha has some interesting souvenirs. I figured you might enjoy this." said Galvin, drawing a large crystal out of his pack. Cheriss knew what it was from her time working on the Abyss Watcher's lightsaber designs, though in retrospect there were a thousand things she wanted to improve about the design. But she had thought the kyber crystals mined from Dantooine were good enough. Just looking at this one made the others look inferior though.

"A pretty gem for a pretty lady." said Galvin with a wink and a bow. While Cheriss was still blushing and trying to remember how words worked, he put the crystal in her palm. "The old bastard says it's got some practical use too, so you have something not boring to do now."

"Wow, thanks Galvin. I don't know how to make this up to you." Galvin put up a hand to stop her.

"Your presence is thanks enough. Speaking of, I happen to have acquired two reservations to a rather upscale restaurant for tonight, and would be delighted if you would accompany me." Galvin handed her a pass, apparently for admission into a rather upscale restaurant. "Later of course. I have to clean up after that time on Jedha. I think I still have sand… pretty much everywhere. See you later."

Cheriss turned around and walked back into the lab, clutching her gifts closely and wearing a large grin on her face. Carefully placing the kyber crystal on a stand at her workstation, Cheriss realized that she was still wearing a labcoat stained with grease and oil from lubricating the joints of the prosthetics. Galvin wasn't the only one who needed to get cleaned up before dinner, and she rushed off to her quarters to change into something fancier.

XXX

Cheriss practically skipped into work the next morning, still riding the high of the previous night. Galvin hadn't been lying when he had called the restaurant fancy. When she had seen the prices of the food, Cheriss had offered to not order anything, since food was essentially just recreation for her. Galvin had insisted though, footing the bill for the both of them as well. The night had concluded sweetly, with the two cuddling back in her quarters for hours. Nothing further had happened, though Cheriss thought that might have been due to biological issues more than anything else.

Sitting down at her station, Cheriss' eye was drawn to the large kyber crystal Galvin had given her, and she could feel herself blushing again. Cheriss wasn't exactly inundated with presents, and the thought alone would have made her cherish it, but that fact that Galvin had put thought into why she specifically would enjoy it was what really made her love it.

Cheriss was just sad that she hadn't gotten him anything in kind. It wasn't wrong of her not to have, the present had come out of the blue, but that logic didn't stop her guilt. And so with one last look at the kyber crystal, Cheriss sat down and got to work.
