Blue
Waters: episode #47 The Corta mix-up
Previously: The name Darth Vader has spread to Dagobah,
which prompts them to contact Samantha. Samantha and Bail travel there…and Yoda
explains the importance of Anakin's offspring to Samantha. This causes her to
make an extremely hard decision…she'll give up her child so that it can reach
it's full potential. Bail offers to exchange his baby for her to keep it
protected. Samantha accepts this.
"I could help you out
there. Now this isn't going to be easy
for me either…but who has this been easy on? For the galaxy, I'd give up my own child in exchange for yours,
Samantha. I'll take care of it and
raise it, plus you'd know it was in good hands. I'll give up my own child for adoption."
"Bail, I'd hate for you
to…"
"Samantha, there's no
other way."
She runs up to hug him.
"Thank you, Bail."
"You're welcome…I don't know how my wife will take it…and I'm
going to have to change my last name to protect my own child. I'm changing it to Bail Organa instead of
Antilles. This will help insure that no one can trace me to my own child,
especially Palpatine. I'm the ideal person to do this. My own wife, having our baby a month before
you, Samantha, but at least it won't be suspicious to have a child, since my
wife will be pregnant."
Yoda says, "This makes sense, and agree with it, I d o."
So, in this way the deal between Samantha and Bail was made, and
is the reason Bail has a different last name in the story of Death Star. Over the next 5 months, Samantha and Bail
made trips between Dagobah and Alderaan…but the deal had been set up. But one
time when Samantha had been on Alderaan, Boba Fett had tracked her down…and she
was obviously pregnant by that time. Of course eh reported it to Mr. Idiot.
Around that same time frame, one of Palpatine spies…someone named Arawn also
saw her. He came back and reported to Palpatine. Of course Palpatine was upset by this.
"Pregnant? So she's
pregnant. Keep that information form Anakin. Watch her closely and let me know
when you think she's ready to have it. Well take care of it then. We can't do
anything about it now. Any attack against her, and I might lose the support of
Anakin. Thank you, Arawn, for this valuable information."
In May, Bantha Stephanie
had had Nelly, the Emperor's second child. Okay, we're going to do a big time
jump to August. This is a month before Bail's wife is due and 2 before Samantha
is. However, it is the month Minka's
baby is due. Minka totally surprised
Arawn by having her baby. He knew it was around the time it was due, but she
had showed no signs that it was coming earlier that day. She suddenly went into
labor, so he couldn't take her to Palpatine as he had done the other time. This
time, Arawn planned on keeping the baby. (Now this is where the story could get a little complicated, so
hang on here.) Several gwythaints were
training when Arawn's wife was having her baby. Labor only lasted like 15 minutes, but Minka was extremely
tired. It came out, and Arawn checked.
"It's another boy…what
do you want to name it?"
"Dash Mark Corta."
Arawn says, "Okay. I'm
going to go check out that noise I just heard.'
"What noise?"
"I think it was a
gwythaint…nothing to worry about, dear, just go to seep."
Arawn leaves the house, and Minka is asleep in no time. Just after Arawn leaves, the gwythaints
happen to fly by. They hear baby Dash crying by his sleeping mother. The
gwythaints decide to engage in an evil deed…they grabby Baby Dash and carry him
to their next plant: Clay Hill. They
leave him lying on the ground in the main part of a larger city. A person sees
him and takes him to the adoption center on Clay Hill.
2 people are waling by…the man says to the lady, "You know…it's
been such a long time since our poor baby disappeared…how would you like to
adopt one…I know it can't take the place of…"
"Brax, I'd love to!"
So the couple goes into
the adoption agency where Baby Dash is.
Ellen and Brax turn to the person at the desk, "Is there any way
that we could maybe adopt a child?"
'Your names
please?"
"Brax and Ellen Corta."
What age range are you looking for."
Ellen speaks up, "we'd
like a baby, please."
"We only have one
here. We don't have as great a
selection as Coruscant. It's a male. We
think he was abandoned…he was found on the sidewalk. He's healthy and weighs 9
pounds."
They take him, and since Arawn & Minka hadn't had a doctor,
there was no birth certificate or any type of identification…thus, and they
didn't know his name was Dash Mark Corta. They named him Darango Arawn Corta.
Got that? Arawn's the middle name, and
if you remember an early event in Anuvuin, you'll know why. Hold this event, because another one coming
up has to do with this baby. Also, in this month, on the 30th of
August, Darth Vader (Anakin) turns 21. One other thing is that as soon as Anakin had signed on with Palpatine,
he kidnapped Gryvonbarf and took him to the Emperor. Remember, Gryvonbarf had
been in Security. After running a quick Force test on him, they found him to
have a rather low midi-cholroian count…and a Force level of –2. This was
unusual for the Skywalker family, but it was possible. The Emperor instructed
Vader to have Gryvonbarf (now called Gryvon) to be trained as a stormtrooper.
Until next time!
