In Need of A Ship...

Liden sighed and slammed her hand down on the table. "And what are your precious Jedi and New Republic doing to stop what's coming? Nothing! They're meddling with the outer rim! Bickering about politics! I am the only one who knows what's coming!" She sighed and relaxed. "I'm sorry... but you don't know what is out there... what's coming..." She went over to the door, opening it with a wave of her hand. "But I will show you... come..."

Liden guided Serenity to a room, a astronavigation chamber with a holographic map of the known galaxy. Liden silently gestured and moved the map to zoom in on a quadrant of space Serenity did not recognize.

"During my time as an Inquisitor I was sent to the furthest reaches of the galaxy to find new worlds and relics to help in the war effort. And what we found was a power that could destroy us all..." She waved her hand again and a holographic scan of a Phantom appeared "An ancient army made of stolen life force... created by a galaxy-spanning civilization that ruled several million years ago. And my expedition woke them up... and now they're coming." She looked to Serenity. "Young Serenity... You are strong in The Force... You could be powerful... You could help me save this galaxy before it's too late... Come with me, and I will train you in the ways of The Force... Be the master that Mar could never hope to be..."

Mar smiled. He was thankful to have such friends in these people. Even Thrass, even if he knew him very little. He went to the wall of weapons and pulled a rifle from the wall.

"Alright, then... we're gonna need to get out of here..." Then he nodded to Thrass. "So who has this ship we're gonna steal?"
