Behind the Scope...
-Narrative/Prologue-
Liara walks up to A holorecorder and hits some keys. She sits down in the chair and looks into the recorder. The recording begins and she smiles and moves a lock of her light maroon hair out of her face. "Hello, I decided to start using this in case something happened to me." She clears her throat. "Im Liara Nintra, I was born on Corellia into a military family. My mother was loving and my father was loving from a distance. Mostly, he was in the military. When was old enough to go to school, my mother joined him." She lets out a sigh and looks down at her stomach and rubs it. "They were both Loving, and I Never doubted that, No matter if they were never around every times I wanted them, they were there when I needed them."
She looks back up and the recorder and her smile widens. "When I turned 18 I joined the Military, and started my Training to be a commando. After 2 years of training I was assigned to a Ship and a Squad. I was stationed on a Valor-Class Cruiser called the Nexu under the Command of captain Gerric." She lets out a hardy Chuckle. "He was such a Hard ass but he help me advance My career, he took me under his wing an at the age of 22 I was given the Rank of Staff Sergeant and given command of Hammer Squad. Me as Squad lead and Marksman, Yoshen my Second in command, Hars, our Bothan Medic, Talo our Nautolin Tech specialist, and Gam'mo Heavy Twi-lek, very Skilled in heavy weapons." Look of Pride comes over her face as she adjusts her position in the chair, She slouches back."We were the Pride of the Ship. Our Squad had pulled off Ops that no one else could almost as good as Havoc Squad..."
"...but something went horribly wrong." She looks down in sadness, and swallows. She is swallowing tears but you could see it in her face, the regret, the pain and the fear. "It was on Alderran, we were pinned down by Imperial Forces. One by one...we were taken out. I was reloading, I ordered Hars to Cover me with suppressive fire Sniper and Hars took a Bolt to the chest. Instant death couldn't help him, I followed my training and kept the squad Focused, a few minutes later the Yoshen was hit three times in his armor and a fourth shot to the head, he was down. I lost my focus and looked away, and Saw Gam'mo burst for more cover and get cut down in seconds and Talo...Talo jumped on top of a thermal Detonator to save me. I was the last one." She looks up and smiles with a tear in her eye. "I was only 25, I had never been that close to death. I was terrified." Her hands tremble and she sets them on the table to steady them. She wipes the tear from her eye and sniffles, and Looks up at the recorder."Luckily, the captain was able to sortie some bombers for a run and get me out of there. After that, Returned to the Nexu. Captain gave me a month of Leave to be treated for PTSD. I was having Delusions, jumping at shadows. I was a Mess. After a few weeks of therapy I was better than before. I took the rest of my leave time for some much needed R&R, I was on the Republic Fleet Station and I ran across another commando named Braketh. Meeting him would change my Life forever..."
