A Stormtroopers letters.

Letter 11: Just Talk.

Hey, it's been a while, right? Yeah, I'm sorry, but school and Light's Brink has been taking up way too much time lately. Now, just a head's up - this letter is vastly different from the others. Hope you guess along the way. My advice is to take nothing written as it seems. Enjoy!

Letter 11: Just talk.

Dear Mum and Dad,
Sorry about not being able to make time to write to you sooner, I've been very busy the last two weeks. I came down with the flu a bit ago and had to be confined to a room. Thankfully, Arcan was nice enough to keep me company. It feels good to be able to walk around a bit and I'd love to come visit, but work has been keeping my hands tied.
    It seems the flu has been going around as they ordered an all around inspection and even sent some personnel to make sure everyone made it to the check ups or it could be that they were just concerned about me falling sick again. They sure take the health of their workers seriously, seeing as they sent people to keep an eye on them.
   I've been talking with Theran more and more and Arcan somehow managed to make the boss agree to let him sit in. Oddly enough Theran is a little more cooperative nowadays, he even talked about how he used to get home after curfew with us. Ah there's nothing like sharing a bunch of childhood stories in an interrogation cell, right? I was considering telling the one when I pushed the rules and went where I wasn't supposed to which ended up with the adults grounding me. I don't remember, was it gramps or you two who chewed me out? I think it was the old man, he told me to be careful to keep who I am under control and not let it cause chaos. He was talking about my personality of course - there was a point when I wouldn't listen to anyone and that never ended well. I still have those times, I'm a bit too stubborn for my own good.
   You know, I was talking with one of my colleagues not too long ago over lunch and they just happened to have a brother who runs a farm on... I don't remember where exactly, but somewhere in the mid-rim. Anyway, he told me that we should probably calibrate the anti-predator shields every so often since they could glitch and cause the droids on the farm to wreak havoc - it's a very horrible bug. Apparently something is wrong with the programming if the machine isn't recalibrated often. I think the old man knows how to do that, he should take an astromech with him and do that. Who knows, he could find something very illuminating which could help with work for the future. It's essential you try this and the sooner the better, we don't want predators and droids as a problem, right?
  Well, I've got to get back to work as I've already fallen behind and my superior keeps looking at me suspiciously. Yeah, he thinks I'm slacking. Better not to give him any cause for concern. I also have a routine medical checkup in a week, I'll try to make it, but I would rather avoid it. Why you ask? I hate being asked questions all the time, I've head enough of that when I caught the flu.
   One last thing: Be careful. Please take care of yourselves and don't do anything stupid. Write back soon.
Love,
From your daughter Kaia

P.S Send the attached message over to the old man's datapad, ok? We kind of have a competition going on - don't worry about it. It's just a history quiz.

=======ATTACHED MESSAGE=======

Hey, Grandpa.
You sure are nosy, aren't you? Being too curious is bad for your health - I learned that the hard way back way back when. I still remember that, but hey what's life without a little rule breaking, right? So about the history questions the answers are as follows:
1-He was a strong warrior in the arenas on Mandolore (I work on Mandolore, old man)
2-Even though AT-ST prototypes were developed in the Republic times they're used now.
3-Lagrah Zolam.
4-Princess Leia of the Organas. I'm not clueless Grandpa, I know who the heir to the throne on Alderaan is.
Oh and the last two answers are under the letters of M and E. I win! Though I guess you won the first round, old man. It's great talking to you again. Um, do me a favour and check that anti-predator shield, ok? I want you safe and it could help out a lot of our neighbours.
  As for the questions you asked about our food it's great. We always have some meat and vegetables - often Greens (apparently it's perfect for your health). I've developed a strong love for Red gourd soup, lately. And even though we have water I prefer to drink Blue milk. But always after the soup and the main course, NEVER before. It's a tasty and fulfilling lunch.
  You know, I've been wanting to read some fashion magazines lately. I've been wondering what clothes and colours are popular on Naboo. Mind sending me a clip or something. It'd cheer me up.
Oh and I learned a new skill. Reading people Between the Lines when we're standing in queues. It's fun and it Helps you Find the Truth about people's habits. Man, my keyboard is a mess it's glitChing out. I need a new one. Write back soon and check that shield, ok? It'll help me sleep at night.
Kaia.

An old man with blue eyes put down his datapad where he had been reading his granddaughter's letter and smiled. He stroked his small white beard thoughtfully before standing up. He glanced at a holo they had once taken of him and his granddaughter, she was so small back then. Kaia had indeed changed. The old man smiled and whispered:
-So that foolish little girl has grown up into a smart young woman. What was it again- the code?
He glanced back at his datapad where her message was displayed and nodded:
-Ah, yes. Green, Red, Blue. Well, I better find that damn astromech and see what's up with the shield.
He paused before leaving his room and whispered quietly:
-May the Force be with you, Kaia.
