[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 2284988, member: 386"] [CENTER]A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for the main title. War drums echo through the heavens as a roll-up slowly crawls into infinity. [B][COLOR=Yellow]STAR WARS[/COLOR][/B] Episode I: The Siege of Naldar It is a time of CIVIL WAR. Imperial forces, using a new and terrible weapon known as the DEATH STAR have laid waste to the peaceful planet of Alderaan. Imperial forces across the galaxy lay siege to those few planets brave enough - and foolish enough - to stand up against the might of EMPEROR PALPATINE. The industrial paradise of NALDAR is one of those few stalwart defenders of the Old Republic. All that stands between it and the might of the EVIL GALACTIC EMPIRE are its PLANETARY SCREENS. But the Empire has already hatched a nefarious scheme to bring the proud defenders of Naldar to their knees...[/CENTER] EXT. OUTER SPACE The camera pans across space, revealing a silvery moon, its surface scarred by asteroids and recent conflict. A massive IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER fills the screen. Small pods fire off its surface and hurtle to the planet below. [RIGHT]CUT TO:[/RIGHT] EXT. NALDAR - ATMOSPHERE - NIGHT A handful of four-man pods fall towards the planet, leaving trails of fire. [RIGHT]CUT TO:[/RIGHT] INT. NALDAR - SEEDY MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT We do a close-up on LITA MOREN, a young, captivating woman with a spark of passion in her eyes that hides her loneliness. She watches shooting stars fall in the distance as a barrage of turbolaser fire LANCES up at the intruders. The camera catches the interplay of fire in the deep, purple-red pools of Lita's eyes. Behind her, we can make out two indistinct people, one holding a lit cigarette. Suddenly, the camera focuses on the motel door as it BURSTS open and four well-armed GOONS, led by the cyborg gunslinger QUICK NINES, rush in with blasters drawn. [RIGHT]ROLL FOR INITIATIVE...[/RIGHT] Quick Nines stares at Lita and her companions through two piercing-blue cybernetic eyes. His hands, a mix of metal and flesh, each hold a heavy blaster pistol. Without the cybernetic enhancements, he's as slow as a common thug; with them, he's a deadly killer with the reflexes of a Rylar hunting cat. RAYNOR ONASS, a smooth-talking SCOUNDREL with a taste for the ladies, draws his blaster in the blink of an eye and SNAPS out a bolt at Quick Nines. The cyborg ducks just in time and the bolt misses his head by inches. Raynor ducks behind a cooling unit. Raynor: "Nice seeing you again, Quick Nines. We missed you." The firefight begins. Blaster bolts STREAK across the room in a deadly light show. A window is shattered. Quick Nines ducks and dodges streaks of supercharged plasma, sending back a flurry of his own, his hands full of fire. The armoured BOUNTY HUNTER 6-4, a grizzled man with a rough look, overturns a table and fires. Soon both the walls and floor are pitted with smouldering scars. Lita and Raynor duck behind cover. Quick Nines throws a smoke grenade and covers Lita and Raynor in a thick red fog. Two goons advance on 6-4 with wicked VIBRO-KNIVES, but he is ready for them. He blasts one square in the chest and easily blocks the other's swing. Lita ROLLS out of the smoke and TWISTS like a cat as a blaster bolt races towards her, singeing her silver-grey hair. She fires a shot of her own in retaliation. Raynor walks forward, almost casually, and levels his blaster at Quick Nines. RAYNOR: "Hey blue-eyes! Have a look at this!" Raynor SQUEEZES his trigger and a bolt of fire catches Quick Nines in the eye. His head EXPLODES in a mixture of blood and steel. With their leader taken down, the goons flee into the night. 6-4 and Lita make sure they don't get far. 6-4 surveys the scene. 6-4: "Probably should have put the "do not disturb" sign out." 6-4 begins to gather the bodies. Raynor and Lita assist him. Once the bodies are out of sight, they start picking through the weapons of the fallen. RAYNOR: "If Quick Nines is here, it means that the Fixer was behind this." LITA: "You think Agos isn't coming?" RAYNOR: "Don't know. Let me try and call him." Raynor pulls out a comlink. He presses a series of buttons, then waits. All he hears is static. 6-4: (while counting weapons) "That's probably not a good sign." At the doorway, a box-like CLEANING DROID rolls up. Its electronic eye whirrs as it scans the scene.

It pulls out a white towel, which it gingerly places on the shard-covered couch, then shuts the door behind it. 6-4: "Remind me to stay here more often." 6-4 activates a vibro-knife, which gives off a high-pitched hum. He drags Quick Nines' body towards the bathroom. LITA: (to 6-4) "What are you doing?" 6-4: "We might be able to salvage some of these cybernetics." LITA: (turning to Raynor) "I can't believe you dragged me into this, Raynor." RAYNOR: (shrugs) "What else were we going to do for fun under an Imperial blockade?"
