A/N Thanks to storm problems in my area, I was w/o the net and unable to post, but here is the Series Finale All Roads Lead to the Same Destination
UPON reaching Coruscant, the Enforcer exited hyperspace and entered MAYHEM. The communication channels were so overloaded with traffic as to make contact between starships and Coruscant impossible. Stellar Traffic Control was overloaded too, with too many vessels in space and no communications between them.
SOMETHING had happened and the capital of the Empire was in turmoil.
Agent Sluka left Captain Tenneka in command of the Enforcer with orders to wait for his return and left the nearly ten thousand Imperial Army troopers who answered to him onboard to ensure she did so. He ventured to the surface of the ecumenopolis onboard the Astral Voyager with Sergeant Conor and with a squad of Imperial Army troopers to guard the shuttle while he sought out his superior, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JANDA.
Thus begins ALL ROUTES LEAD TO THE SAME DESTINATION, the SERIES FINALE to THE ADVENTURES OF AGENT MALGO SLUKA, ISB…
Core Worlds
Coruscant System
Coruscant, ecumenopolis and Capital of the Galactic Empire
Federal District level 5127
Spaceport of the COMPNOR arcology
Agent Sluka stood in his black ISB laminate armor at the hatch ramp of the Astral Voyager, waiting for it to open, lightsaber of the Unnamed King and blaster pistol on his belt. Beside him stood Sergeant Conor in his modified suit of Stormtrooper armor, with white plates replaced by dark gray ones fashioned from Bespar over his chest and his right arm. The trooper's left cybernetic arm and hand were in full view with their own dark gray segments. He was armed with a blaster rifle mounted onto a shoulder harness. Agent Sluka looked over his shoulder to the squad of troopers he had brought with him. Each was tall and thick, too big to be a Stormtrooper. Horned Serpents, every one of them, he said to himself with a bit of pride. "Keep the Voyager safe," he said to them. "We will be back."
The hatch opened, then Agent Sluka and Sergeant Conor walked down the hatch ramp.
People were running everywhere, Imperial officers and high-ranking civilians alike. A giant voice blared over the loudspeaker. "All flights from the surface of Coruscant have been put on hold. All clearances have been canceled." The giant voice repeated the statement over and over as Agent Sluka and Sergeant Conor made their way through the crowd.
A shadow passed overhead.
Agent Sluka looked up to see a shuttle flying toward the spaceport exit. Then a second shuttle flew overhead. And a third. "No one's listening to the announcement," Agent Sluka said over his loudspeaker to Sergeant Conor. "That'll be good when we get out of here."
"Unless someone flies into us when we take off," Sergeant Conor answered back as he shoved someone out of their way and kept walking. "Or, they might get tired of no one listening and start shooting people down."
"No way that'll happen," Agent Sluka laughed.
There was a flash of light and the sound of an explosion, with both the flash and the sound attenuated by compensators in Agent Sluka's helmet. Debris flew through the air above his head. Agent Sluka and Sergeant Conor each looked at the other. "You good?" Agent Sluka asked. Sergeant Conor nodded. "We need to get out of here and fast." He took off running and Sergeant Conor ran right beside him, each pushing people out of the way. One thought remained in Agent Sluka's head.
I've got to get to Janda's office and I've got a feeling I'm running out of time.
