Yeah, I'm back again, same note that I don't own starcraft at all. Also that the plot goes along with the beginning of the game, just thought I'd clarify that. So with that in mind on with "Dukes iron fist: secrets of the confederacy.
Quan and SenYi looked at each other for a long time. The dropship flew smoothly towards the confederacy's pride the Norad II. Looking at her face, It reminded Quan of his old way of life, someone he use to know. But he couldn't save her from what he couldn't save himself from. And looking at her made him think of his lost girl, someone he use to love, the person that drove him into despair and motivated him to join the Alpha squad of the confederacy.
"You really miss her, you loved her at one point, didn't you?" SenYi asked. Shock came to Quan. He looked at her curiously.
"How do you know that?" he said attempting to solve this mystery.
"I just know!" she said quickly replying.
"Well then, If you wanna stay with me then fine" Quan replied, looking down into the large hole in his power armor where the Zergling had struck.
"They don't offer private rooms on the Norad, if you have a problem then take it up with Duke, private" the ghost said. Quan nodded and looked back at SenYi. She could read minds, he thought that nothing was secret anymore, that no matter what he needs to remember home and his family. It finally came to him that she was like his memory, he started to feel as if he had purpose and reason. To protect her and try to live a life he once had. SenYi smiled knowing exactly what he thought. The ghost looked on in amazement.
"What?" Quan said irritably, curious to see what the ghost was up too.
"Nothin, never mind, if you want I'll get you a room.
The dropship docked onto the Norad II, letting the passengers off. Quan had practically fought with the refugee director to keep SenYi with him, the ghost disappeared for a long while. Confederate guards came, helping Quan get out of his power armor, the then escorted them to a room with two beds, it was small with extremely dim lighting and rusted walls. Quan figured that Duke was ok with letting a refugee stay with a private. Quan sat on the bed, SenYi sat next to him, It was quiet for a long time.
"I remind you of your past, right?" she asked, looking up at the light which flickered on and off.
"All of the good things, things I once had, a great fiancé, great relatives, we were just colonists trying to make a decent living, until the Zerg came. Confederates rescued me but left a lot of others behind. I wanted to forget all of the pain and misery that I had done" Quan explained, pulling a pistol from his side, looking at each side of it, rubbing his short brown hair.
"It wasn't your fault" SenYi said.
"I joined the confederates alpha squad, underwent the training, became a great sharpshooter, I had Ghost potential they said, but my thought were still on home, I could never forget how I abandoned everything, how I couldn't help them, or her" he said slamming the pistol to his side, SenYi jumping by the loud thump on the metal bed.
"But you remembered, most soldiers don't even know where they come from" SenYi replied moving closer to him.
"But you… you remind me of those times, you remind me of what was great about my life, the things you hold on to ya know… the things I gave up on" Quan said.
"I won't give up on you" SenYi said, looking strait into his eyes. Quan then realized that he needed her, but something lingered on his brain, something he couldn't understand. Her purpose. He was about to ask until SenYi motioned for silence. She was hiding something, that she wanted Quan to protect, maybe the innocence look was a cover, he couldn't explain, but he tried to keep these thoughts empty, for SenYi's sake. He was weary from the Zerg that attacked him that day. He leaned back falling asleep, the last thing he saw was her looking down to the ground.
He woke up to an extremely loud thud, he flew up, looking nervously, SenYi nowhere to be found. Looking everywhere, the only thing he could find was the goggles that were standard issue for a ghost. Grabbing it, he stormed out of the room heading down the twisting hall until he came to the bridge. It was time to talk to the Alpha Squad commander himself General Edmond Duke. He stepped through the door to see a large glass window out into space with smaller ones stretching out along the sides. Duke sat in the middle, observing the controllers that operated all of the machinery and flew the ship.
"What is it, I haven't got all day!" he said in a impatient rude manor.
"Where's the Refugee you let me stay with?" he asked, trying not to use SenYi's name. Edmond stood up, his expression changed from a busy man to a disturbed man.
"I don't have time to explain this right now to a private" he said making fists, his anger growing steadily.
"Then explain this!" Quan said, dropping the headset on the floor. Dukes eyes widened with fury, grabbing Quan by his shirt, lifting him off the ground.
"This is none of your business boy!" he yelled, everyone stopped to notice the scene. "Just forget the damn colonist, you're a private, privates don't meddle with more important soldiers priorities!" he yelled in Quan's face, his unbearable breath stayed with him on his way down.
"Priority my ass!" he replied
"I suggest you leave, so you can see tomorrow!" he said, pointing to the exit. Quan left, anger rising in his chest. He knew something was up and duke wasn't going to give him the answers.
Suddenly, the ship began to rotate fast. Quan was thrown to the side of the ship, then to the ceiling, and back to the floor. Alarms were buzzing all over, voices were sounding all over.
"We're going down!" "We are going down!" panicked over the P.A. exactly where it was gonna land, he could not say, but one thing he could ascertain was that he needed to find SenYi immediately.
A ghost with a familiar face came out from the bridge, lending a hand to help Quan up.
"You want off this ship then come with me" said the ghost.
"You're the same ghost from the dropship… what do they want from SenYi?" he thought hastily not wanting to shout out loud at him.
"She had ghost potential, she isn't the first to fall to Duke" he said pointing at himself.
"We need to get her out then, before the ship crashes, or before they kill her turning her into a ghost!" Quan said.
"Korhal will be coming to pick us up, they know of this accident, computers are probably scrambling to read it out as we speak… The names Altech, and thanks for returning my headset."
Quan and SenYi looked at each other for a long time. The dropship flew smoothly towards the confederacy's pride the Norad II.
