The Force... of a Nightmare

When I got back... it was like a walked into a wall as i entered the lower area of the temple. I took a meditation pose for a moment to get a grip and when I opening my eyes...

*FLASH* Metal walls? *shook my head* Temple stone basement. Skywalker asked if I was alright. I lied... and said yes. But I knew something was wrong....

Skywalker asked me to hunt a critter that swallowed a part of his ship... *smirk* he should have parked it better or but of stuff to keep critters back. So off I went into the jungle tracking a big critter. Good thing I AM a ranger... I tracked it easily. But I was also getting tired. Fatigue must be effecting me somehow. I willed myself to work through it. It was like something dark and heavy was wrapping around me... sapping my energy. I fought the big ugly turtle/bird cross critter and retrieved the part from its belly... wow... undamaged. It swallowed it whole. Good thing for Skywalker. I got up and ... saw a flash of stars? walked into a metal wall... cold gripped me a second ... the Jungle came back into view.

Disoriented... I returned the part to Skywalker. The corridors were whispering unintelligibly... unpleasantly. Excuse any spelling errorts... i am trying to get this all down in the datapad as i go. I got lost twice in the corridors... grrr. *whispering... shakes head to clear*

There archaeoligists around this temple. They were there before the Rebels arrive and decided to work in tandem. Now they need to be evacuated too. I was asked by Skywalker to head out and find their superior to get their team evacuated. That was an easy escort.

Then I arrived to be asked to go get some strange box Skywalker felt he needed to see. I felt dizzy and took some deep breaths. Why does this seem familiar? I can see he hears the whispering too. I hope whatever guides him is strong... i wish I had some guide, too. I went out to get the box. I fell off my swoop in the jungle! Dizzy... pain... dark... NO! What is going on? I fought another critter for the damnable box. Sand swept into my eyes... sand? AK!! Kimogilas! PERLEKS!!! I got hit hard. I hit the ground. The turtle-bird hit me again and ran with the box. A chill swept over me... through me... it was so dark... I fought to get rid of the confusion and disorientation. I got up ... and fell immediately as I was chained to the flat ship floor by throat slave collar... Coughing I opened my eyes to a jungle... What was i doing? Oh yeah... getting a box for Skywalker from a critter now running with it in its mouth. I took off after the critter and killed it. The box looked like the one Brem brought back. A cage... empty cage...Dark... unpleasnat. I didn't want to touch it. But i had to carry it back to Skywalker. CAGED! Ak.. no... I am FREE!!! With shaking hands I gave it too Skywalker.

I sat shivering.... He studied it. He didn't like the feel of it either. He said it belonged to someone name Kyp or maybe Exar Kun himself... I barely heard Skywalker over the noise in my head. He touched my shoulder and everything came clear and quiet again. He asked me if I could take the cage out to a tribesman who wanted it. He didn't want it near him anymore. I didn't want to touch it again. But this will get it far away from him and me. So I agreed.

Carrying it on my swoop... I made a miscalculation and crashed. I don't know how long I was out.

I woke... I was on a ship... cold and dark... behind bars in a small metal cage. I could feel it against my bare skin. Nothing with me but the collar on my neck and the chain holding me in place. Voices. I was stuck again and shove to the cold metal floor. I hate cages... I want to get out. NO.. Don't touch me!!! OFF! *SHRIEKING!! struggling... Darkness*

A tribesman took the cage from me... in a jungle. Where am I? That evil cage was something sacred to his people. Great... all for them! Oh yeah... deliver the box to the tribesmen... Skywalker... Yavin IV. I suddenly felt compelled to kill the tribeman with the box and it took all my will to walk away.

The box was gone. Far from me. But why did I still feel strange... it was hard to breathe. Exhausted I delivered the news to Skywalker and headed back to the starport to sit an write more in this journal... disjointed as it feels. I will read it over later maybe...

The darkness was trying to swallow me again... it was harder and harder to breathe... I can't breathe... too much sand... and blood... My comm won't work.... Why? Brem?

Blimey? Blimey?

Make them stop.... please... i don't want them touching me anymore.... please...

Blimey?

*darkness*
