Alright! Since someone said I should write another chapter I did. Here you go robot-keayleuu!
Hope it reaches your expectations.
Chapter II
The Crew
The Redoubt had finally landed on Hoth. The crew stepped timidly out of her big metal doorway and onto ice, a large majority of them returning inside for thicker clothes or a blanket.
"General Wyntaries! General Wyntaries!" a thin human who resembled a starved POW hobbled in the direction of the ship. Ignorant of the fact that he had actually passed the General himself.
"Here," Red said as he tapped the tenuous man, feeling only bone. "I am him."
"Ah, yes! Of course you are," the small one said while he looked Red up and down, as if inspecting him. "General. My name is Moss Wafer." Someone from behind him snickered but Moss didn't seem to notice as he continued. "I will be your supervisor as you solve our 'little' problem here on Hoth. If you and your crew are ready then my people are willing to take you to Vera, where you will meet with Nonamadi and the rest of his tribe."
"We are prepared," Red assured Moss. Gaining grudging looks from the soldiers and excavation members that the Order had insisted he bring with him.
They glared at him for a moment until Everett cleared his throat, "You heard him! Get your stuff, We're leaving!" Red was suddenly grateful that Everett was here with him while he adjusted to his new crew. They would have to learn to trust and follow his orders. An especially difficult task since he had gotten the majority of his old platoon killed, save for Vrett.
"Now before we leave General, we'll need you to fill out this list of your people's names and a brief description of the ones who are going to be accompanying you past the Whiterock Wastes." Wafer explained as he handed Red an empty datapad, who passed it on to his Captain.
"Walker."
"I'll try to be quick," Everett said pausing for a brief moment as he noticed Moss's concern, "but precise." He smiled reassuringly and started tapping away at the screen as it read:
1.) Red Wyntaries
- Rank: General
- Class: Jedi Master
- Sex: Male
- Species: Human
- Hair Colour: Dirty blond (Walker chuckled silently to himself)
- Age:...
Walker stopped there. What was his age? How could he now know how old Red was, when they had served together for most of their military lives together? When he thought about it, Everett realized he didn't know all that much about Red. Just information someone might gather when first meeting him. Nothing personal, just observational glances. Everett, now a bit put off by his lack of knowledge, deleted what he had initially written and started over.
- General Red Wyntaries. First in command of the expedition. Male human with a slight attitude. ("Better," Walker murmured to himself.) The one with the lightsabers.
- Captain Everett Walker. Second in command of the expedition. Male human with a great sense of humor.
Then continued on with the rest of the group: Elliot Kinly (Female Soldier), Domonik Bace (Male Soldier), Demetri Ghards (Male Soldier), Alastair Taque (Male Head Researcher), Dorian Anderson (Male Researcher), Gwen Carper (Female Researcher), and Jack Gatz (Male Researcher).
Walker sighed in relief, "Done!" A smile grew on his face, "Finally."
Sorry, not a very good chapter. When I get to the story part of it and finish listing most of the characters my little collection of dictions will pick up more.
If you were confuse by the 'Redoubt' in the beginning, its the name of the ship. Doesn't sound too cool but if you look up the definition you might understand why I named her that.
On a side note, you should listen to this song called Sweater Weather by the Neighbourhood.
Thanks again for reading :)
