The Juggernaut finally reached the base on Scarif. An Imperial officer came out with four Death troopers as they walk down the ramp of his shuttle. They walked towards the huge building full of secretes that the empire has been working on or about to work on. The officers name was Orson Krennic. The Director of Advance Weapons Research for the Galactic Empire. He has several Death Troopers walking behind him. "Welcome,Director Krennic to Scarif. What brings you here?" One of the Imperial Officers who works on Scarif protecting every projects that the Empire has worked on. "I'm here to find a new project that the Empire has to offer." He explained while they were walking into the base. "Of course, sir. Right this way."
The Officer took Krennic to the room full of files that the Empire might've looked over for many years. He looked at each file one by one, but nothing caught his eye. Then a moment later a file fell on the floor. The file said "Project Stardust" in bold. "What is this?" Krennic whispered to himself. He picked up the file placing it onto the table. He sat down reading each document and file about the project. "I finally found what I've been looking for." Krennic gathered every document on the project and left immediately. "Leaving so soon, Director?" The Officer asked in a rush. "Yes... I have found what I've been looking for..." One of the Stormtroopers interrupted the two Imperial Officers with news.
"Sorry to interrupt, sir, but there is a meeting with the Emperor about setting up a new project tomorrow morning." Krennic grinned about the news and he knew this was his golden opportunity to bring up this new project. "Thank you for telling me about the meeting. I must go for now,but I will return for the meeting." He left the base with a stunning grin . He hopes that his plan will work to get the Emperor's approval of Project Stardust. A young women over heard the Directors conversation with the Stormtrooper and the Imperial Officer. She recognizes the man in the cape from school many years ago. "Orson is that you?" She whispered to herself. Selena followed Krennic to his shuttle and they left Scarif back to his StarDestroyer.
She hid under the bench that the Death Troopers and The Director sit on. She covered her mouth, so no one could hear her breathing under the bench. As his shuttle arrived to the Star Destroyer, a radio call from one of his officers gave a message. A message from Tarkin that states "You have been summoned to the meeting tomorrow." Krennic's felt lucky to be invited to such occasion. He sent a message back that he will be at the meeting. Everyone got off the shuttle and Selena was left alone on the shuttle. She slid out from under the bench of the Director's shuttle. She wore the Galactic Empire outfits. She hated how it looked on her for years. Selena felt she deserved a better outfit that represents her.
She got off the shuttle and began looking around the docking area in amazement. "Whoa! I never knew he could end up here." Selena started to walk around until a few Storm Troopers caught her snooping around. "Hey, You! Your not suppose to be here. Your coming with us." One of the Troopers grabbed Selena's arm and took her to the bridge where Krennic is located. "Sir, we have an intruder on board." He threw her onto the ground. She was on her knees looking at Krennic. Her eyes widen and knew it was truly him. "Orson?! Its really you!" Selena got up and hugged an old flame. "Have we met?" Krennic felt very uncomfortable with her arms around him. It didn't feel like an Empire thing to do. "It's me; Selena. We went to the same Academy along with Galen." Krennic had a moments thought about the past. She was in a few of his classes during the Academy days.
"Oh, Selena! My lady. Welcome aboard my Star Destroyer. What brings you here?" Krennic wrapped his cape and arms around her. He finally gave her a hug after finally realizing she was a long lost friend. "I wanted to see you. I miss you." Selena gave him a kiss on the cheek. "It has been forever since I last saw you. How have you been?" She asked keeping her arms around his body. "I've been doing alright. I found a new project to my liking. I miss you too." Krennic picked her up and carried her to his office aboard the Star Destroyer. "Orson! Heheh. What is your project?" She giggled in his arms as he carried her to his office. "Project Stardust." He exclaimed. "What is project Stardust?" She asked with a sudden curiosity for his project. "Project Stardust is an orbital battle-station. A weapon for the Empire to use against the Rebels. It can destroy planets." Krennic explains the project.
They finally arrived to his office, so they can have sometime alone. "You think the Empire can win this war with a super weapon like that?" He gave a grin as he sat down on the bed with her in his arms. "Of course, my lady. I believe so. There is no doubt about it." He laid down on the bed twirling his finger in her hair. She was still beautiful the last he saw her many years ago. Both of them went there separate ways after they graduated. Selena took hold of his cape snuggling him while being covered by his cape. "Do you have plans tonight?" She asked with a blush on her face. "No." He replied. "Do you want to go out for dinner?" He looked down at her and tilted his head. "Like a date?" Selena giggled loudly. "Yes, Orson. Like a date." Krennic bit his lips for a moment before he answered. "Of course, my lady. I would be honored to have dinner with you." She couldn't help, but squeal in happiness. After all these years she finally got the chance to finally ask him out.
Selena had a crush on him since she first met him. Her heart started to beat fast within her chest. Krennic gave her a kiss on her forehead as his hand goes through her hair. The night was quiet in his quarters until a loud knock on the door. "Krennic!" A familiar voice was heard. "Tarkin.. what does he want? What?!" He yells. "We need to talk immediately. Come to the meeting room ASAP." He said as he was walking away from the room. Krennic sighs in disappointment and frowns. "I must go for now. Wait here for me, okay? I will return after this boring meeting." He kissed her forehead one last time before leaving the room. Selena frowned after he left. She pulled her knees up to her chest and looked out the window into space. Everything went quiet. What could the meeting have been about? Does he know that she on board? Is he in trouble?
Selena wanted to find out what's going on, but she was told to stay in his room until he returns. She laid down on his pillow and closed her eyes. Drifting away into a deep sleep. Moments has pasted since she has fallen asleep. Krennic finally returns to his room and saw her asleep. He gave a gentle smile. He walked towards her and crawled into bed with her. He wrapped his arms around her. Making her cuddle up against his chest. Selena smiled in her sleep, dreaming about there life together. Krennic wraps his cape around her body. He wants to protect her with his life, but he was worried about what Tarkin said during the meeting. He told him that he would be away for several months due to the project. He couldn't leave her alone with that man on board his ship.
Many hours has passed after he passed out moments after he returned. It was time for dinner. "It's time to wake up my dear. It's time for our date." Krennic nuzzled her face for a moment as her eyes start to open. "Huh?" Selena rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Oh.. yes I remember now. Shall we get dressed?" He nodded and got off the bed. She thought it would be appropriate to wear different clothes for this special event. Selena wore a long black sleeveless dress that showed a little cleavage, a cut strip down her dress, high-heels shoes, and black gloves. Krennic wore something different then his original outfit. No cape this time, but the outfit is black similar to his other clothes. "It's time, my lady." Krennic held out his arm for Selena and she wrapped her arm around his. IT WAS TIME!
