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

*grimaces as he feels a rib crack under the kick*

Chnei would willingly make that sacrifice, as I would, as Master Powol would, as any of us would.

*hauls himself painfully to his feet*

And I'm not blowing this place yet. Not until I get an answer from you,

*takes a step forward*

And you, are going to talk.

*Annats face appears to be calm as he draws upon and focuses the force*

*smiles slightly as his eyes open*

*Unleashes a bolt of pure white force energy at Miasma*

MIAMSA: ~Good boy.~

*raises arms and 'catches' the energy as his feet clamp down and slids only a few centimetres*

*face remains calm*

Who created you?

*pulls lightsaber into his hand*

What is your purpose?

*ignites lightsaber*

How can a droid use the Force?

*draws back saber arm*

And why imitate me?

*grabs saber blade by the left hand and pushes it away*

MIASMA: ~More presumptions~

*raises right hand and electricty bursts forth*

*rolls back and brings lightsaber up to earth the electricity*

It's not a presumption. It's a set of questions. 'Brother.'

MIASMA: ~You already know why I exist~

To torment me? To destroy me? To end my existence?

MIASMA: ~You're a special case. My master hates you.~ *sick smile*

*smiles mockingly*

It's nice to know my services are appreciated.

MIASMA: ~So very much.~

*smashes window to space and the air pressure escapes*

*frantically scrabbles in his robe for his rebreather and straps it on*

All these people *heavy breathing*

Why??

*watches as his guard is sucked out of the window then slaps the rebreather away.*

*tries to work out how long he can last on a lungful of breath*

*sets face in a determined scowl and thrusts his lightsaber into Miasma's face, intending to sell his life dearly*

*skins breaks away revealing the cortosis alloy beneath*

MIASMA: ~Gr'jar would be so disappointed...~

*more workers fly into space as the guards try to hang on*

*picks Annat by the next and throws him into he nearest air filled corridor then casually walks out through the window and out around the side*

*gasps for air as the bulkhead seals behind him, condemning those trapped to death*

*staggers to his feet*

~Annat! Are you alive?~

~Yes. I take it you are too. Find Chnei, and get out of here.~

~*is amused* why on earth would I bother doing that? I'm coming to help you kill whatever put me through the humiliation of two coshings, and capture!~
