The fact she was about to board another ship after she had finally escaped the last ride’s unpleasantness made Evie wonder if she really wanted to gain entry into the Bounty hunter’s guild or was just self destructive. Swaggering with a groan and using the door way as leverage the angry captain of her previous transport called after her demanding ,between curses, a plausible reason why she spilled her guts on his clean vessel’s floor. The Zabrak culprit appeased his barking with an exhausted sigh, falling to her bottom. When she apologized airily, the pilot waved her away with annoyed abandon. The sleek bullet of a ship then took to the air, the very whisper of its engine’s made the girl’s stomach turn and she stared down at her legs sprawled out before her struggling to regain composure.

The tiny craft that bore her vanished and left on the massive hanger alone, young Evie gazing in awe at the fearsome “Jericho.”

Star ships always held a foreboding air to her, The promise of motion sickness may have had a little to do with the inspiring of such thoughts but this was one liner she had wonderful expectations for, so long as there was no warp speed involved .

“Ook!” she whispered to herself, springing to her feet with an unsteady hop.

Passerby’s eyes roamed up hipswells and candle white wrapped tight in black latex of such finery it appeared to be a second, decorative skin coming to a tear drop opening at her collar bone and pale neck flesh.

Wiping dust from the back pockets of her fine, ebony suite, her gold eyes scanned the surroundings like nervous radar. Evie had never set foot upon Coruscant for more then a day or two but her twin had made many visits to the planet and was sure to be recognized; If she wished to remain under her sister’s Identity, she would have to be on her toes- wary of old friends.

Or worse,

Enemies.

She had gotten used to forging fake memories to appease those who knew Eeicia but did not enjoy the hobby in the least.

It would be great to finally lead a life where the only thing borrowed was her name (and clean record) after striving to impersonate another for months.

Then a thought struck her:

“The guild will surely do a back-round check…these people hunt criminals for a living…“


Assuring herself she would not be revealed, The Zabrak rehearsed her alibi’s internally like a coveted lead role in a play.


“Thank god ‘I‘m‘ already locked up.” She snickered silently.

Running her fingers across her spiked scalp she counted on her fingers the weaponry in her arsenal.

It was an unimpressive collection of pea shooters, A small sting beam at her hip, L-23 at her thigh and a concealed hold out blaster opposite.

Her cheeks heated with shame and she vowed to buy more worthy weapons as soon as possible. For now they were all she had.

With restrained childish excitement Evie made her way, beaming with delight, to the door way of the Bounty Hunter’s guild and leaned against its smooth side.

She waited with great anticipation to see the trainer who would give her the skills needed to finally be “one of the good guys.”

Her mother had always assured her as a child (as quite frequently she needed reminding more to herself then her daughter) that: “Bad girls made the best good women.”

Now was Evie’s chance to prove her right.

Ares had again been in the under levels of Coruscant, ridding the galaxy of those who did not belong. He had gotten used to the constant buzzing that seemed to come from the planet itself, like death and suffering clouded the entire city. He was absorbed into his own thoughts as he walked up to the main entrance hatch of the Jericho. Not even noticing the young Zabrak female waiting by the door. Ares gave a quick glance at her, then gave a quick double take. He had not expected someone to be standing there.

"I'm sorry, I didn’t notice you there." Ares said with a cold metallic voice. He idly waved a data pad showing he was busy doing something. "Are you by chance looking to gain entry to this ship?" He already knew who she was and what she was there for. He still thought it was curious to see a female joining the guild, bounty hunting was exactly an easy job to do, even for the men. Ares always thought that women should be allowed only if fit enough to, not just because they wanted a hand out. He would push this one to the limit.

Evie's ears signaled her heart as the rising sound of metal boots rythmically clicking approached

Gently peering, leaning to get a better look at the armor clad man closing the distance between them she pulled back her shoulders and improved her posture.

Clearing her throat she began:

" Hello Si-"

He passed her.

She shut her mouth, humiliated.

Suddenly he back tracked and as he apologized she spoke prematurely, jutting out her hand

"I'm Socially awkwar-! ...Evie, Eeicia Evie."

Cyrus arrived on Coruscant and notice he still had time before he had to go to the ship that was called “Jericho”. So Cyrus decided to put some traps in his master old ship to make sure no visitor would enter and leave the ship.

While Cyrus was walking up to the ship “Jericho" he started to be amazed at the size of the ship. Then he notice two people talking outside of the ship. One was a young zabrak woman and the other was a human in body armor. The woman had a L-23 blaster and no body armor that he could see. But the human was probably his trainer. He had no idea who the woman was but he was going to keep an eye on her. She could be in the guild already or just some one hanging in front of a ship.

Cyrus was running late so he started to walk faster. He was hoping that none of them would take him as a threat with one hand holding a bow and the other going into his cloak to pull out the letter he got from the guild that told him where to find them.

He stopped where the other two was now holding the letter out of his cloak. " Hello my name is Cyrus Klempra. I am here seeking training can one of you good people help me". Cyrus said as best he could to show both of them he is not a threat. He was covered from head to toe in black clothing and had his gargles on. Cyrus always hated talking to new people.

Ares took the zabrak's hand into his own, being careful not to crush it in his metallic grip. "Well it’s a pleasure to meet you Evie." He said as the hooded figure approached. The buzzing started almost immediately, he hand almost went for his hold-out blaster holstered on his lower back but stopped when it said it was here to join the guild. He decided to ignore the hooded figure for the time being. It was, after all, impolite to interrupt a conversation. He didn’t even turn to face the newcomer, not yet anyway.

"Would you excuse me for a moment? I might have some business to take care of." Ares said as he turned away from Evie to face Cyrus. He stood perfectly still for a moment, before becoming a blur of motion, pinning Cyrus to the ground with a knife to his throat. "Give me a reason why I should let you live..... You have taken an innocent life, you life should be and to me is forfeit. If not for the Bounty Hunters Guild code you would already be dead." He paused for a moment to try and regain some composure, being unable to he spoke again. "Rule number one. Don’t get on my shit list."

“Yes- they told me to wait for my trainer but I don’t exactly know what to look for…” Her shoulder’s slackened as she spoke softly.

“You’re a bounty hunter…?” She asked, letting her eyes roam over the armored man’s metallic frame-

“I Hear-”


Evie jumped back at the sudden change in her companion’s demeanor, one second she was slightly charmed as he accepted her palm in his and the next a yelp escaped her lips as he pinned an approaching cloaked figure with the speed and ferocity of a threatened animal- to the ground.

Chills shot up and down her spin like rapid fire at his words to the hooded stranger:

An innocent life

She quickly swallowed the lump in her throat and composed herself.

Before Cyrus knew it he was on the ground. His bow fell from his hand but the letter was still in his other. The big armor human was on him in a second and there was a knife at his neck. This was why he hated meeting new people.

" I have taken life from an innocent. I lived under the protection of my master at that time. I had to follow his order to kill or my life would be forfeit." Cyrus took a second to think then said. " I have also killed the man who raised me. In one way I gave the man justice in the other I killed a man I loved. Did I enjoy killing the of the innocent. No I did not that is why I joined a local army after my master death so I could use my skill for good. But even there there was wrong." He stopped and took a deep breath. Even if this man killed me I told the truth. I can change but will he let a willing man change Cyrus thought. "I came here to join a guild that I thought served justice. I want to change for those that I killed. I have done wrong and i will make up for my doing for doing what is right with the talents I have. If you would train me I will help you serve JUSTICE to this galaxy. I ask for a second chance, will you grant me it"

Cyrus made no move and waited for what ever justice this man had for him.

"Like I said before, the code prevents me from killing you. Mark my words though, if you do anything. Absolutely anything! That might jeopardize the Guild or its members." Ares stopped for a moment; he stood above Cyrus, his body a metal pillar of hate. "I will destroy you."

He turned and walked back towards Evie and the ship. Punching in the code to open up the door. He looked back at Evie, his demeanor totally changed. "I'm dreadfully sorry you had to see that, but at least you didn’t have to see me kill him." Ares said as the door slid open with a quiet hiss. He had a smile on his face when he spoke, but no one would be able to see it due to his helmet. He gestured for Evie to step onto the ship.

Evie’s heels clacked together as she stood at attention, instantly regretting the theatrical action scolding herself mentally.

She followed close behind Ares and only stopped once to turn and look upon the guilty fallen man.

Her stomach turned as she boarded the Jericho but she masked it and pressed on.


"That's ok..." She said

"Its nothing I haven't seen before-" she paused and looked around with caution.

easy...he doesn't know...he couldn't know.

"But, how did you know? You knew he had killed people before he even finished saying his name. Did you know that man?"

Cyrus got up slowly and picked up his bow. Then he checked to see if the arrows were fine. Every thing was in order.

"The man never did tell me his name or if i should board the ship" Cyrus thought. He stood there for a second to take in the site of the man putting in the code for the ship then telling her to follow. She started to walk up but then he saw her gold eyes look at him. She turned around after that and walked into the ship.

"And this is why i hate talking or meeting new people" he thought again

"Sir may i ask for your name and should i wait here for you to return" Cyrus asked and started to think that the man was going to run down and nail him again.

“I just know." Ares said as he walked down the cold halls of the Jericho. He stopped when Cyrus asked him if he was to wait and What Ares's name was.

"You will refer to me as Sir and you will follow me......Quietly." Ares said before turning off his mic to have some alone time. He wondered why Cyrus would ask to follow, it was almost a no brainer that Ares was apart of the guild, he spoke of it and knew the code. It just didn’t make sense to Ares, but he just let it go. He had enough things to worry about.

They arrived at a door that didn’t look any different than all the others that lined the walls of the long hallway. Ares again punched in a code, making the door slide open. "One at a time. Confidential information you understand. You first Evie." He looked up at Cyrus. "You wait outside." He then stepped through the door and sat at the desk at the far side of the room. Booting up the computer and bring up the holo screen. "Sit were ever you like."

The guildsman’s last comment left a chill in the air.

Gently pushing past Cyrus with a polite smile Evie stood by the door way until Ares had sat, she then took a seat of her own directly before Ares; shifting until she found comfort.

She would not have been so nervous if the other trainee had entered, his presence almost put her at ease, it made her feel less guilty….less likely to be found out.

The shadow of her life once again hung over her.

If this man could see Cyrus’ evil deeds what was to stop him from knowing all the wrong she had done?

Folding her hands in her lap she stared into the eyeless helmet of Ares and waited.

The fact his face was hidden from her sparked both curiosity and irritation. She couldn't read him; his almost mechanical voice, his hidden emotions, it made her uneasy...Not only was his line of sight hidden but also his mind was closed to her.

Only time would tell….

Time to put on a show worthy of a standing ovation

As Ares brought up the file for Evie Eeicia he became a little confused. Why would a war veteran turned police officer decide to abandon it all for the life of a bounty hunter. The file said she had a twin sister that was currently incarcerated for murder. She also had a brilliant career, and was also right handed. It seemed odd because the woman that sat before him had a much different feeling to her than the one he imagined he would get. He was also surprised to see that she was once in a squad with his most recent recruit.

"Are you familiar with a Shawn Mac'Neal?"

Shawn..? Shawn,where have I heard that name....was it her ex boyfriend or...?OH!

"You mean Sergeant Mac'Neal?" She said with a mock spark of recognition.

"Why yes! He was my squad leader back in the military....I haven't seen him since I was relieved!" Evie said.

And relieved she felt, she settled into the familiar role and was now at ease as the flow of information began its trickle.

military stuff....Why Mac'Neal? He's bound to bring up "The incident". Better conjur up some tears....remember Purdence...dear little thing...didn't see that pod ship coming...

"He is a new recruit actually. I think you might like to see him again." Ares touched the side of his helmet to bring up his com-link to a certain private channel. "Hello....Shawn. Please report to meeting room 6B. You know were it is."

Ares then typed in a couple things into the computer. “Have you or would you ever. Kill an innocent?"

Shawn heared the message, and taped his com link on his ear, "Ok boss I'm on my way, also just to let you know all the re-pairs are complete, you'r free to use the rooms as you see fit, Mac'Neal out."

Evie stared down at her knees. A memory flashed before her mind’s eyes like a camera at point blank.

Eecia was sitting on her bed with burns from “The incident” On her cheeks and a gaping wound on her forehead…

His eyes are two different….

“Two different colors.” Evie said under her breath and meeting Ares gaze once more she suppressed her anxiety at the promise of meeting the sergeant.

“A new recruit? M-my guff old serg?” She laughed lightly.

“If someone is innocent their life is their own.” She said and a tremor threatened to make itself known in her voice but she hid it with the expertise of a spy.

“Its when they take someone else’s that makes them lose that property right.” she added, smirking.

“I was in operations where the innocents were mixed in with the guilty, they ran as one and its my cross to bare. I shot and judged later because it was what I was ordered to do,”

Quoting her twin she used her imagination for the next act.

“I would by no means kill an innocent, not now, I lived to long without a say and I want my two-cents worth…”

Shawn grabbed his coat and pistols on his way to the office knowing that Ares might have something up his sleeve to keep him on his toes, as he approached the door he saw a man in all black waiting outside, Shawn didn't like the look of him but knew emidiatly it was another training batch "I swear Kal works Ares to death." Shawn said as he came to the door and gave it three hard knocks and saying, "it's Mac’ Neal" before opening the door and entering the room, he saw a female Zabrak sitting on the coach Finding that she looked familiar, and stopped in front of the desk and said "you called boss?"

Three loud knocks on the door seized her attention and Evie turned to find a Young red headed human man facing her.

At first she assumed he was another trainee but when he addressed Ares so formally she did a double take.

His left eye was green while the other was blue, they peered down at her for a fraction of a second and then awaited orders from the metal clad bounty hunter.

Shawn Mac’Neal?!

Evie’s face heated.

She was shocked to see how young the man she’d been told stories of was!

When Eecia would relate the valor and leadership, his fierce bravery and commanding charisma, Stasha would picture a distinguished gentlemen of war, but Shawn appeared her age, possibly younger!

Her mouth went dry.

The perplexed Zabrak looked from one man to the other for an explanation but receiving none she stood from her chair and greeted Sergeant Mac’ Neal the only way she could imagine two soldiers, who hadn’t seen one another since battle ,would.

“Commander!” She cried happily.

Evie threw her arms around the young man, fabled to be her past commander and let her horned cranium nuzzle him.

“It’s been ages…”

"Um excuse me do I know you?" Shawn said as he pushed the Zabrack girl off of him, "wait Corporal Evie is that you, I didn't recognize you at first, and that greeting what was that?" Something seemed off to Shawn he just couldn’t pin it down, he just didn't have enough evidence to figure it out. Shawn knew Corporal evie had a sister but this couldn't be her she was supposed to be in jail, Shawn turned to Ares desk and picked up one of the fake crystal balls off the desk and tossed it at Evie to see what had she caught it with, he knew the corporal was right handed so this should prove who she is with out a doubt, but he wouldn't blow her cover right now if she failed the test heed wait and confront her personally if that was the case. "Remeber the old ball team at Echo Base?" which was also a test question the old team used to do tactics drills in there spare time to get better, the answer and reactions will sighn her fate.
