ΜØŦĦ€Ř Đ€ΔŘ is a sims story in which the motherplant isn’t a captive in crater lab, but a crime boss residing in her own fortified lair. To achieve this end, I transplanted the Strangerville mystery ...
Roan: “Lord Kylo Ren will soon arrive at Black Spire. That means as a squire I’ll have to stand ready to perform a series of menial tasks, each one less important than the one before. It’s sickening…”
Roan: “But I have a plan! I’ve heard of lightsaber parts having been uncovered near Black Spire. Unfortunately all of them have already ended up on the black market, but maybe there are more. If I had my own lightsaber, maybe Kylo would respect me more!”
Danilo: “Sounds like a plan. So one way or another, Black Spire would be the place to go if I wanted to learn more about the Force?”
At this point of the story I decided to leave these two’s characters arcs to the game. Whatever color of lightsaber crystal they’d win or find would determine their allegiance to the light or the dark side.
Roan: “Although for a quick first taste, the nearby cave will suffice. You’ll find a visit there… educational.”
Danilo: “That little hole with the weathered away mural? My men have been in there, and returned in one piece. That doesn’t sound very dark-sidy to me.”
Danilo: “No, Roan, my soldiers are better trained than that! I bet it was those squatters of Jericho! And although we cannot prove they are rebels, in stealing property of the First Order they have committed a crime! I’m going to round them all up and put them to work on Mua Pel’am island - as I should have done long ago already!”
Roan: “No, you’re going to visit the cave with me!”
Danilo: “I AM a lieutenant and this IS my military base. It takes as little as a phone call to put my men to the task. Afterwards I’ll hike to the cave with you.”
Roan: “I never contested this being your base. Sore point much?”
Danilo: “Matter of fact, yes. The academy trained officers never let me forget that I got promoted in-field and lack their refined background. I mean, look at the facts: Lt. Agnon got the prestigious command over the First Order district of Black Spire and I… this dump in the jungle.”
Roan: “To some all of Batuu is no more than a dump. But I won’t even try talking you out of your perception. A fair bit of anger goes a long way towards mastering the Force. You’re set up well in this regard, my friend.”
It was early in the morning already, when Roan Ren and his apprentice reached the cave. Danilo had postponed issuing the order to attack Jericho to the First Order soldiers. He wanted to try out whatever new powers he’d gain in this place on the thieves.
Danilo: “Sorry, but that’s too vague to base a strategy on. I better equip my new arm! Could you hold the old one for me?”
Roan: Dear Sir Ren, founder of our knightly order, I commend your spirit to the Force for having come up with the mimic-concealing masks. They are much apprecciated!
Roan: I may just have made the record for fastest loss of an apprentice. But if he’s as good as I think he could be, the gamble will have been worth it in the end. We’re attuned… like the old texts say about a dyad in the Force. And if we can realize it, then limitless power will be ours, no more need for the brutish Knights.
As Danilo stopped walking for a moment and the echo of his steps ceased, he heard the sound of dolphins. Excited to be able to watch dolphins in the wild, Danilo followed the noises to a wellspring. A group of dolphins was playing in a natural pool in the cave, tossing a bushel of algae around. It didn’t take long for the dolphins to spot Danilo and swim to the pool’s exit. Standing there alone with the algae, that had been left by the fleeing dolphins, saddened Danilo decided to leave, too.
Danilo: “So, what? Maybe it’s a sign of some kind. There’s plenty of the buggers in the waters around the base, let’s go catch one!”
And so the duo returned to the shore. They stripped out of their clothes and entered the calm, warm water. A couple of swim strokes later they had already left behind the shallow water, but not yet entered the zone where you couldn't see the ocean floor anymore.
Here Danilo stopped swimming and instead turned onto his back to drift along with the gentle movement of the waves. Roan turned around. Was the officer taking a relaxing bath or what? Didn't they have a quest?!
Danilo: “They deserted me, Roan. The dolphins, I mean. Like everyone else ever did in my life. Like you will someday. That was the lesson the cave had to teach me.”
Roan: “Maybe I won’t leave you. Maybe I will instead betray you.” *splashes him*
The dolphins catches and swallows the fish, then dives. When it returns to the surface, it isn’t alone. A whole pod of the animals accompanies it, and between them they move an R6 droid upwards. It is none other than R6-TV, the droid that the Four Fangs had lost the day before.
