.........the outfit was not his decision, huh. 

Alright. Does he know what planet Asha is on? 

Permalink

His hyperspace route suggests he may have gone to any of the following four locations!

Permalink

He can check them. Apparently it was planned in advance that this would happen and that Marlo would be the one assigned to deal with it; Asha probably isn't hiding.

He doesn't talk to Elvee much during the flight. 

Permalink

At location #3, there is an enormous Venator-class Star Destroyer. Possibly this is the ship he's looking for.

Permalink

Possibly it is. 

Is Asha going to make it difficult to get in? 

Permalink

He'll be allowed to board, but the ship is crawling with mercenaries. 

Permalink

Great. 

He leaves Elvee on their ship; he'll try stealing a uniform before he tries to fight his way through the mercenaries. 

Permalink

Unfortunately, the mercenaries do not seem very inclined to let him steal a uniform. 

Permalink

That is unfortunate. He doesn't like stabbing people but he's good at it — there are kind of a lot of mercenaries though —

Permalink

Those are a lot of mercenaries!

They seem to be sort of herding him towards the center of the ship.

Permalink

Well there isn't really an obvious other place for him to go, is there —

Permalink

The center of the ship has a giant, impressive-looking throne. It's black. There are metal bits sticking out. It seems like it was ordered from a catalog titled Evil Thrones Monthly.

A girl who must be the minor princess of the Hapes Cluster is wearing a collar and chained to the chair. She is wearing an outfit [nsfw] made of a sheer black material that only highlights the fact that Marlo can see literally every aspect of her anatomy, and that all of her anatomy is of the sort considered conventionally attractive. 

She is also sitting in a very comfortable chair, looking at a datapad, next to a space heater. 

Asha is not actually sitting in the throne, he's standing on his hands with a disgusted-looking facial expression.

"....I see what you mean by tacky," which should probably not be the first thing out of his mouth, but there you go. 

Permalink

He leaps onto his feet, lightsaber on.

"I had nothing to do with it."

Permalink

He turns his lightsaber on. "I believe you." 

Permalink

Lightsaber battle!

Asher is, in fact, very very good. It's a little strange fighting him-- he's slow sometimes, fast other times, and he can't do anything that requires using the Force-- but it is not easy.

Permalink

Good thing Marlo wasn't expecting it to be easy. 

Marlo is also very good. He is not, as it turns out, as good as Asher. 

Permalink

Dejah Thoris, princess of Hapes, does not look up from her datapad.

Permalink

That's a little strange but his attention is a bit occupied right now! 

Permalink

Asha disarms him, points a lightsaber to his neck, and says, "handcuff him and bring him to Dejah's cell." With obvious reluctance, he adds, "And put her in the other outfit."

Permalink

He'll go where he's brought; he has no particular desire to be the seventh Jedi Knight that Asha has killed. 

Permalink

Then he will be placed in a nicely outfitted cell with two comfortable beds and a desk and some books. 

Permalink

Not as bad as it could be. He picks one of the beds and looks through one of the books. 

Permalink

The book is a science textbook he does not understand. 

Permalink

Dejah Thoris is brought to the room wearing an outfit that is slightly better [nsfw], because he cannot actually see her nipples, but that sure is skin-tight rubber and lacy underwear instead of pants. 

"I assume you're Marlo? I'm Princess Dejah Thoris."
