4 | Haunting Past

Plans

People began to slowly wake up around Hera some screamed panicked and others assessed their situation, staying quiet.

As people awoke medic droids showed themselves and checked everyone's vitals and condition.

Nothing seemed off much to Hera, I mean she was in a medic bed, cuffed down but no one was putting up a struggle it was mostly just like the medic bay back on Eadu but about twice the size.

A medic droid cane up to her for the second time that day.

"I need you to come with me." The droid said and uncuffed her.

She considering resisting but when she stood up she realized just how weak she was and thought against it.

Cece, Mouse and Roe were also asked to get up and they followed behind Hera and her medic droid with ones of their owns.

Cece was trying to come up with a plan.

Roe was blind without her goggles  and had to put a hand on the medic droid so she wouldn't run into any beds.

Mouse was trying to flirt with Roe but it wasn't working for one she couldn't really see and two the medic droid kept warning him to shut his mouth.

Hera continued to look around trying to get a better grasp off their situation.

They were soon out of the bunker and the droids took them along a clean, empty, metal hallway. The only sounds were the soft patter of their feet on the tile.

They all kept shooting looks at each other as if the others had any idea where they were or what they were doing.

They eventually reached a pretty big sized room with a high ceiling and blank walls.

"What are we doing?" Mouse braved and asked a droid.

The droid only ignored him and they all left the room.

Hera heard a sound like the door locking and sealing and the sound of the droids going back to the medic bay.

"What now?" Roe asked, leaning against Mouse for support.

"I can probably get that door open and we could probably find a hanger bay they had to get all these people here somehow." Cece suggested, examining the door.

"Well we don't know where we are of how many troops or droids there are out there." Mouse said glumly.

"I say Mouse is right." Hera spoke up and said. "I think we should wait it out."

"I third that motion sorry Cece." Roe said, squinting.

"Well we better make our selves comfortable, we might be here for a while then." Cece gave in and said.

Sebrin turned around another corner in her stormtrooper outfit.

Why can't Thrawn leave me be? She thought for the third time after escaping the droids by shutting them down. I need to get out of here.

She turned yet another corner. All these kriffing halls look the same where is that hanger bay and why isn't there any troops anywhere?

She finally found a set of doors after about twenty more turns in this labyrinth of hallways. The changeling pulled open the doors and found herself in one of the medic bats that was on the base. How many people does Thrawn need to play his sick games?

She spotted Jessica and Circuits being taken by a pair of medic droids out towards the door way she was standing in.

Well at least they survived.

She quickly closed the doors and ditched her stormtrooper cover.

I really don't want to be Thrawn. She thought with a sigh. But I shouldn't let them all die.

She thought again of the blue chiss she had know most of her life. His skin tone, his hushed whisper, his art collection that she would rather unsee, and his demeanor.

Then she felt the odd sensation of her skin molding and forming, face stretching, her eyes changing to red and her voice go deeper. 

Then Sebrin was Thrawn.

She was just in time as the droids opened the door and started to lead the pair of confused people down the hallway.

"Excuse me." She said, Thrawn's voice coming out of her mouth. "But I'll take care of the prisoners."

The droids looked up from their programmed path and Jessica shot Thrawn a look of hatred.

Circuits just looked tired.

"I will be taking these prisoners, personally."

"Yes sir." One of the droids responded and they both went back into the medic bay.

Circuits shot Jessica a look and Sebrin knew what they were thinking.

"Don't try it, I have troops stationed at every corner so don't try and run."

She saw the hopeful look flicker out of Circuits' eyes but Jessica just continued to look at Thrawn strangely.

"Drop the act, I don't know who you are or how you are able to look like Thrawn but you aren't him." Jessica threatened.

"Don't be silly I am Thrawn."

"First off Thrawn won't say 'silly' and second Thrawn wouldn't be dumb enough to take on two we'll known people wanted by the Empire and third my gut says it isn't you and I always trust my gut."

"Maybe I am dumb enough." Sebrin sassed back. "I know all I am war I am art itself."

"I wouldn't go criticizing art." Jessica said with a smile.

Sebrin had to smile at that.

"I got you." She said triumphantly.

"Fine I'm not Thrawn but can you just roll with it guys."

Circuits was turning red trying to hold in laughter.

Jessica rolled her eyes at him.

"Never...in..a.....million........years would I thought I would of heard Thrawn say roll." He choked out.

"Men am I right?" Sebrin said and realized she should probably keep her mouth shut.

Jessica nodded trying to hold in a laugh.

"So what's the plan?" Circuits asked and Sebrin shot him a look.

"First we have to find our friends." Jessica said and looked at Thrawn.

"I don't know where they are."

"Let's find someone who does, but I need an outfit." Jessica told Thrawn.

Sebrin gestured to the stormtrooper outfit she was wearing before.

"Thanks." Jessica said and promptly changed.

"What about me?" Circuits asked.

"You can be my prisoner." Jessica said all too enthusiastically, well at least to Circuits, Thrawn was still giving him a weird look.
