[/quote] Thanks I may work on a longer viggie/short story or two, just not one every day. And I'll be on a bit of a vacation after I graduate gong to visit my sister in California, which would be hard to keep this up on, so I'll probably keep the hiatus up until the end of the month when I'll be back. -----signature----- More work to be done, but proud to be an American again!

	I'm back! I may not do these every day, so I'm re-naming this, but I'll try to add to these relatively often. Here's a short OC story about the Hoth evacuation... * 53: I've Had Better (Hoth, Rebel Spy OC) * Lt. Kerklan sat up in her chair with a groan, her hand clinging to the blanket she’d wrapped around herself to stay warm in the constant cold of the Hoth compound and promptly fell asleep. A repetitive beeping, screeching up to out of her hearing and back down to a jarring bass, told her what had awakened her. The alarm. Which alarm? She blinked her eyes to focus on the vidscreen in front of her, a map of the planet. Pulsing electric green were the planetary warning satellites. Just what she needed when she’d just gotten back planetside from a month-long aerial reconnaissance mission. She’d only agreed to fill in on the security post because they were chronically short-handed and it was something she could do in her sleep. Ah well, doesn’t make much difference now. They’d all have to evacuate. She made the alarm base-wide. Everyone would know what that meant by now, she’d heard that evacuation procedures had been rehearsed at least two times in the last week. There was a flurry of activity at the adjacent monitor stations coordinating the mechanisms. At least they knew what they were doing. Okay, calm, Kerklan. She popped a stimfizz to keep her mind alert. Procedures. What have they thrown at us? Several ships appeared on the screen, but she couldn’t tell how large they were or what kind of power they were dealing with. She compared them to the database. The size of one of them was enough to… Spacefreeze, what in the Galaxy is that thing? The database didn’t know. She had to stay to help coordinate the evacuation, someone had to. It seemed hours later, after she’d relayed a call from that Rogue that the Princess was leaving on the Milennium Falcon instead of her assigned transport, and told the Rogues to get out of there, that she figured out what it was. Vader himself thundered through. She hid under the console, sure he would find her. She’d heard the stories about what he could do when she’d had an assignment to get a particular officer to talk. However she had to do it, which had ended up one part corellian ale and one part him being a typical male pig. Except that the description was too hard on Gammorreans, who could actually be quite sensitive. She wanted to think about anything but what she’d heard about Vader, anything. And then, with a regular clop of boots, he and his company were gone. They hadn’t even stopped. He was after someone else. She just had to stay away from the stormtroopers, who would take notice of her, until they left, not let them see her. But if she did that, she’d never get to that final transport. It was a matter of permanently freezing on this icehole of a planet or letting the Imperials do their worst to extract information from a reconnaissance dept. Lt. “I’ve found a straggler,” the trooper proudly told his superior when he turned her in. He really hadn’t had to manhandle her. That move would hurt her neck for days, she thought, as she rubbed a bruise. “Kerklan?” the officer said, surprised. She looked up. It was her last Assignment. Oh, joy. Her mental voice was thick with sarcasm. She schooled her expression to a sweet, seductive smile. It was a good thing she was still wearing civilian clothing. Maybe she’d get out of this one after all, if she was lucky. “I was captured, don’t you know? They thought I might know something about you.” He blanched. “You didn’t…?” She shook her head. “Of course I didn’t say a word.” Lie One. “Were you able to get anything out of me about Nathan and that… you know, what he does? Of course not. Don’t be silly.” He couldn’t because I wasn’t affiliated with that slime. But he doesn’t know that.. “Need a ride out of here, sweetie? I’ll drop you off wherever you want. We’re here to help, after all.” He caught her chin and forced it up, making her look at that hunger-filled expression of his—he’d taken off his helmet. Fat chance, was her thought. But her reply was different, and her expression gave no hint of her revulsion. “I thought you’d never ask.” -----signature----- More work to be done, but proud to be an American again!

	#54: Cold Comfort *** “I know.” Two little words hanging in the air. He’d always known, hadn’t he? She’d put him down, his intelligence, his character, his choice of friends (well, she couldn’t blame herself for that one, given how this stopover had turned out). His hunk-of-junk pride and joy. And still he didn’t blame her for it. He’d seen right through her. And then he was taken away. Frozen solid, life in limbo, still calling out to her. Gazing at her. She could barely feel herself yelling back, being restrained. Until a touch, just a quick brush, made Leia shiver and look up. The armor was even colder than the room. Black. Vader. She couldn’t tell whether it was meant to be another restraint or a sign of sympathy. She repressed that thought, and another that surfaced, another time he had held her back. She shook, shivering, and refused a blanket from some stormtrooper who was apparently more human than most. A blanket wouldn’t help, not this time. Not now. -----signature----- More work to be done, but proud to be an American again! Fanficcer and Fanartist-- check the profile!
