Prologue

Samirah looked up at the ship, her eyes wide and a little intimidated. She wasn't use to being on a big ship—especially one full of people that she didn't know. She kind of already missed her ship, the Silver Meridian. Her small duffel bag was hoisted on her back and she was dressed in her normal attire—a long white shirt with a brown vest and an even darker pair of pants. She knelt down to tighten her boots around her legs and tried to mentally prepare herself for what awaited her ahead.

The Endar Spire. So this was going to be her new home? She had never been requested for a mission before and she felt a little giddy at the idea. It had taken them some time to track her down on the rims of the galaxy. She had actually been in the Adega system when they finally found her.

She was trying to help the republic in her own way, but was also kind of a loner. Not that she didn't mind company, but usually they found her way of life… hard. It was for the best; she didn't want to drag people into danger—danger that she normally found herself in with her risky plans and ideas. She took a deep breath as she walked up to a man dressed in a Republic uniform. He was busy scrolling through his datapad when she approached him and he waited a few moments before he finally looked up at her.

He had light brown hair under his cap and a tanned skin tone. He seemed maybe a few years older than her and was definitely taller. She was short after all: a whole whopping 5"5 which wasn't that intimidating.

"Can I help you?" He looked at her with an eyebrow raised and a slightly annoyed expression. His green eyes waiting for her to answer. What? Was she late?

"Ensign Samira Noval Alda, sir." He didn't move.

"And? What is it you want from me, Ensign?" She fidgeted as he returned to his datapad.

"Well…. I—I wasn't sure where I'm meant to go…I thought…" She stammered. She wasn't used to reporting in to someone. He rolled his eyes before gesturing over to his right. She glanced over where an uptight woman dressed in a different uniform stood by the loading gate.

"That's who you want." She looked at him as her cheeks turned a bright red.

"I-I'm so sorry, I thought you were—"She was such an idiot! What was she thinking? Of course, she thought it would be simple—just ask someone and they would obviously have her papers. She placed her face in her hands and he chuckled before putting his pad down to see her embarrassed.

"Hey, calm down. You're that new transfer right?" She pulled her hands down and nodded slowly as he held out his hand."I can already tell you're going to be quite the character." She shook it with a small smile.

"To be honest, it's a sudden change for me. Not used to this sort of deal." He nodded with a small smile still in place as he crossed her arms.

"Yeah, well, you shouldn't worry about it too much. If you do your job just right, you won't have any quarrels on board." She nodded. "The names Devron Uhdea and I just so happen to be your flight officer…. So I suppose in a matter of speaking, you came to the right person." She tried to form words but seemed to be having difficulties.

"It's nice to meet you sir." He smiled again.

"Now go get your papers, Ensign Alda, I'll see you on the flight deck." She nodded nervously before rushing off to the woman by the boarding gate. When she looked up at Samirah, she frowned.

"Name?"

"Ensign Samirah Noval Alda, ma'am." She scrolled through her roster before reaching for some papers and handing them to her with a look of superiority.

"You're late, Ensign." Samirah started to speak but she interrupted her. "Find your bunk and get settled in. Did you at least attend the debriefing?" Samirah nodded and the woman made a small snort. "At least you've done something right…" She mumbled. Samirah didn't really like her tone but hopefully she wouldn't have to deal with it.

With her papers in hand, she walked up the boarding ramp, swallowing hard as she did so. When she boarded, she saw plenty of people rushing by trying to get their separate tasks down before the Endar Spire left port. To be quite honest, Samirah didn't even know why she was on board. She had half a mind to just turn around right now and hope they didn't notice her absence. The sound of someone clearing their throat surprised her.

She spun around to see a woman in pinkish robes standing behind her. She looked pointedly down at Samirah, waiting for her to move. Samirah quietly stepped aside, quietly apologizing as she saw several others follow her onboard and she noted how they all had lightsabers—they were Jedi.

She sighed, figuring it was too late to abort mission and jump ship. Though, she did wonder how long it would take them to find her in space—she did know an awful lot of planets.

She stared down at her papers as she walked down the corridors of the ship, trying very hard not to bump into any of the other passengers. After following the directions to the best of her ability and ending up nowhere, she decided to forget the paper and find it herself—she was, after all a scout and had to rely on her herself to find what she needed.

She traveled further and further down until she rounded a corner and had to do some quick dodging to avoid running straight into someone. She quickly mumbled her apology as they stared at her like a nuisance before rushing off again.

"…sorry…" She mumbled again. She already didn't like it here. "If this is how it's going to be I'm might go stir crazy… maybe even revolt had I the malicious intent needed… but no, I had to be born with a conscience… never thought I'd regret having one…" She sighed.

"Do you normally talk to yourself?" She turned to see a brown haired man standing behind her with signs of a small beard around his chin—yet somehow, beard didn't fit since it wasn't a beard… but like some fuzz. She placed a finger on her lips as she thought about it, trying not to laugh at her own thoughts.

"Well… do you want the truth or a lie?" he chuckled. He was in a burnt orange like jacket that she actually kind of liked even though orange wasn't exactly one of her favorite colors.

"Surprise me." She smiled before crossing her arms.

"Then yes, all the time. Keeps a person sane to act partly insane." He laughed and she automatically liked this guy. He didn't seem so bad.

"Now how do you know if you're not just insane, acting sane." He raised an eyebrow and she couldn't help the smirk that tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"Now that is the real trick, isn't it?" He smiled, slowly nodding his head in response. She hoisted her bag again just for measure before glancing down at her instructions, back tracking in her mind. He watched her do so and wondered why she was furrowing her brow. Finally she looked up at him, biting the side of her lip.

"You… wouldn't happen to know where I am, by any chance? I'm not used to ships this size. My ship? Sure, I could move through it with my eyes blindfolded, my arms tied behind my back, my legs restricted and gagged while flying through a—you know, never mind." Her face turned pink again as she laughed, a little embarrassed. She tended to ramble sometimes, especially when she felt nervous.

She had started to walk away when he laughed.

"Hey, hold on. Where is it you need to go? You're currently on your way to the bridge." She stared at him before looking back at the paper, a little confused. Then it hit her.

"And that explains why I am so far off target… well, great galactic core, this just gets better and better." She laughed to herself.

"Well, you aren't that far off. You see, just go back down the hall and take a left. Then make a right four doors down and you'll—"She started laughing and he looked a little confused.

"Hey, don't worry, I'll find it. I'm sure I'm keeping you from something important too, so it was nice to meet you sir. Thanks for having me aboard." She smiled before she turned and rushed off, leaving him with a smile and a chuckle.

After about twenty minutes of running around, hopping around people and dodging close calls of being trampled over, she made it to her room and collapsed on the bed. She dropped her duffel bag on the floor and rolled over to look at the ceiling.

"Well, Samirah, it seems you're on your way to a new adventure but I doubt it will be like the first ones…" She frowned to herself before it turned into a smile and then a laugh.

She was on a huge ship and if it wasn't for the uptight people, it would feel like a luxury ship with room to move—even with the soldier boys and flyboys, she still felt like she had room to spare. She looked over at the empty bed beside her. So, she had a bunkmate.

She wasn't sure what that would be like but she would just cross that bridge when she came to it. For now, she was going to unpack and go to sleep. She did just get back from the Adega system and that wasn't exactly an easy flight and she had wanted to stay on Ossus a bit longer, not that there was much to see anymore—only the ruins that were scattered throughout the planet.

While in deep thought, she slowly began to fall asleep, her eyes falling heavily as she lay against her pillow. She didn't have to report on duty until a little later so she let her exhaustion take over as she slipped out of reality, unaware of just what kind of adventure was about to take place.

Please review and let me know what you think, you're thoughts are very important to me. I'm open to any ideas or just random thoughts!

Thank you!
