h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Tobru comes to, holding her head and groaning.*

What is going on. Where am I. Someone is going to bloody well get it in the neck.

*She notices that she is imprisoned and goes mad for a while at the walls and door. Black lightning flickers around the walls. Eventually she falls to the floor exhausted. After a few moments her shoulders shake and tears begin to drop to the floor.*

*food slides under the door*

*Throws it back under with extreme force, ensuring that as much food as possible covers the outside floor*

I demand that you speak with me. I will know why you detain such as me here!

*A guard stares at her through the spyhole silently for a few moments then moves on*

*She thumps the door, then sits miserably for a while before getting up and in a much calmer and pleasant voice says*
Could you please tell me who is holding me at least?

*from other side of wall*


VOICE (vaguley familiar): You will find out in time Tobru.


*sounds alters as the speaker turns to someone else* Ah, our guest has arrived. Let a place been known around the other side of the complex.

I have some things to prepare.

*walks off*

*Tobru loses her temper again and thumps the door*
Give me back my sabre and fight me face to face damn you! Damn your trickery!

*The guards march Chnei, Katianna and Andare down a long cramped corridor with many big black doors opposite each other on either side leading away*

*one door is opens and Chnei and Katianna aren't push into one, across the way Andare is put in Cell 1138 with Tobru*

*doors slam and off the guards move.*

*leaps on Andare and holds a razor sharp claw to her throat*

Release me or I will kill her!

*Andare screams*

*Tobru leans in and tightens her grip, whispering in Andares ear*

That's it. Keep that up. As soon as that door opens and they come in to help you we'll be as good as free.

*Andare breathes heavily and rapidly with eyes wide staringat the thing at her throat*


*the guard posted watches and smiles*

*Tobru senses the guards amusement and throws Andare to the floor in disgust*

Damn you!

*She turns her lamplike yellow eyes on Andare*

Who are you, girl?

ANDARE: *hold throat* I'm-- I'm Andare... I'm with the Jedi to.. to find my missing colleagues.

*rubs back*

*Tobru snarls ferally*

Jedi? *she spits*

Right now you and I are allies by default. But any 'return to the light' crap and I'll gut you personally.

*she sighs, sensing the fear and youth of her companion. And a little pity and remorse enter her. She morphs to full human shape to put the girl at ease*

Sorry I was so rough. My name is Tobru, daughter of Gr'jar.

*Andare's face curls at the sight of the change as she pulls herself up*


ANDARE: I'm sorry I don't know any Gr'jars beyond what the HoloNet has said. I'm with Chnei Thmel and her learner. They're across the hall.
