"Admiral Sian, can you hear me," a voice called out to him from the darkness. "Admiral Sian, please wake up!"
"I'm trying, whoever you are," he said aloud, but he had a feeling that he didn't actually say anything. Sian, determined to defeat the darkness around him, yelled as loudly as he possibly could; but that wasn't even why he had yelled. Corporal Sachine's death began to play in front of him like a movie on a huge projection screen the size of Ossus' moon, Dxun.
"Admiral, open your eyes sir!" Suddenly, his entire environment shook and almost immediately, Sian opened his eyes and stared into the face of General Ivohan.
"Oh thank the stars, Admiral. We thought we may have lost you to shock," Ivohan told him as Sian began to sit up. Someone put a hand on his bare chest and put him back down. Sian looked up to see Arden, who probably hadn't even left yet.
Momentarily ignoring Arden, Sian asked, "Shock? What do you mean? What happened?"
"You fainted soon after you watched ST-927's battle recording, sir. You've been in the infirmary for seven hours, and you haven't made a sound until a few moments ago whenever I was informed that you were talking in your sleep." Ivohan paused for a moment to scratch his head. "I came here as soon as I could, and when I got here, we all tried to wake you up until you yelled, and I shook you," he explained as Arden moved to his side, his eyes staring at Sian.
Sian turned his attention to Arden. "So, Admiral, you found your family I hope?"
"No," he stated, suddenly glaring. "Apparantly they left after Corellia fell to the Rebels, no thanks to you and your fleet.
It was Sian's turn to glare. "Excuse me? We tried our absolute best to hold that planet, and it ended up costing me an Admiral." Sian paused for a second to catch his breath. "THEN, whenever we retook the planet so we could find your damn family, I lost a dear friend and several other men."
"So," Sian started, beginning to raise onto his elbows, "don't you ever again blame me or my fleet, or my men for the damn fact that your family decided to leave after the damn Rebels took over. If you do, I will personally knock you out of my fleet and end your life." After Sian said that, he wished he hadn't. He didn't mean it; he must've been drugged.
"I see. So that's how you feel about my search. As you wish High Admiral," he said and stormed out of the infirmary.
"Sith spit," Sian yelled and fell back onto the bed.
Yeah, this was an extremely short chapter, but then again... it's not like anyone's even reading this damn story. It seems that people are only interested in stories that involve major characters, such as Luke Skywalkers and Obi-Wan Kenobi. And if you are reading this, then PLEASE leave a review so I can continue this for the people that are. I can't stress that enough.
