A plan gone awry
WHO: Darth Caedus
WHAT: The onset of Chaos
WHEN: Late evening
WHERE: New Hope's Industrial Zone
RATING: G
STATUS: Complete
Seated cross-legged in front of the airlock he had discovered during his various exploratory forays into New Hope, Darth Caedus reached deep inside of himself, tapping into the incredible might of the dark side of the Force. It had taken many patient hours of meditation and reaching out through the Force to locate the infected people who had the peculiar ability to be at the very least resistant to the virus that filled the air outside. It had taken even more time and energy to patiently coax them and gather them to a point where they would be able to glimpse the dome of New Hope in the horizon. Through patient effort, he managed to cajole the three bands of survivors outside into working together. Finally, exhausted, he sat back and rested on the ground, waiting.
Now, Caedus was resting on his back, glancing at his chronometer with irritation every few moments. Dukat was late. Caedus honestly hoped that he had not been betrayed. For one, Dukat would pay miserably for not holding to the role Caedus had chosen for him. For another, the Sith Lord was too tired to undo what he had already set in motion. He'd expended too much of his energy to find and bring the enemy to him, and he lacked enough power to send them away, or conceal the city.
The infected outside had discovered the airlock, just as he had quietly suggested they do when he had found them. They were outside now, apparently deep in conference about what to do to breach the heavy steel door. Expending the lowest bit of his strength, Caedus sensed that they had come to a conclusion, and when he saw it, he felt like scrambling away. They had decided to set up explosives, and a lot of them. Scrambling to his feet, Caedus came to the conclusion that he was betrayed. He ran, and had gotten a few blocks away when he felt the explosives go off.
Loud sirens went off as a calm, collected female voice began to speak throughout the dome. "Warning. An unknown threat has breached the outer airlock in the Industrial Sector. Commence evacuation to designated shelters and residences. Warning. An unknown threat has breached the outer airlock in the Industrial Sector. Commence evacuation to designated shelters and residences."
Caedus stopped when he remembered there was a locker room full of NBC suits in the Industrial Sector. He reoriented himself and ran in that direction. He'd head off any would-be heroes, and make them get into the suits. From there, he'd fight off this threat he'd brought in. Maybe this minor disaster could be fixed.
