With this short story, Phil Ochs won first place in a writing contest held by his high school's magazine, and received $10 as a prize!

You ship is soo cool! Any idea if something like it is purchasable with credits or is it some special sith thing that us common people will never be able to get?

Ah, my ship? Hm. It is possible you could purchase one from Republic Sienar Systems, but it is not a simple matter to keep one.

The Scimitar is a redesign of old sith infiltrator blueprints. She can go invisible. Vanishingly few ships are capable of this. Her thrust trace dampeners are so precise at draining the heat away from exhaust gas that I can come and go through even Coruscant's security scanners unnoticed.

I am sure you can guess how illegal all of that is.

If you have fifty five million credits to spare, I can assure you she is worth her weight in platinum though. The Scimitar is very fast, heavily shielded, heavily armed, and the onboard amenities are... comfortable.

I'm working on the spreadsheet for Duke and the B Brothers and oh, boy, I'm getting more and more excited.

Like. I'm finding out what's gonna happen in this story, you know. But HOW is it all going to happen? Ohhhh...

Like. How will Folami and Dominic go from hating and despising each other, to mutual respect and support? What's the relationship between Folami and each of her brothers (because it's different with Enitan than with Kayode and with Dayo)? How does the friendship between Dominic and Kayode look like? Or the one between Dominic and Roshan Rao? How will Erika's actions affect Enitan and the rest of the crew? How do Enitan and Ochra act around each other? So, so, so many questions...

Can't wait to answer them all! :D

Season 7 or 8

~ a pseudo arc/parallel:

2.07 The Scimitar ~ 3.09 The Director ~ 8.04 Elizabeth Keen

...Ressler has a new addiction...

Ressler: “The prospect of having to live without me... must’ve been terrifying.”

Liz: “It was.”

Ressler: “The irony is, with all the drugs they’ve pumped in me... this is the best I’ve felt all week.”

Liz: “What about that, is that going to be a problem?”

Later:

...And he’s taking a page from Red’s book about stimulants...

Red: “But stimulants, I have no taste for.

I prefer that slight curve at the small of the back🔻

the swell of the breast🔻

the soft nape of the neck🔻

to quicken my heartbeat.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

...And he’s never letting go.

Ressler: “I won’t give up on you.”

One of my favorite Red's quotes is when he told Samar "Don't do anything I wouldn't do" after giving her the Scimitar.

Which would sound like a good advice/instruction... if it wasn't for the circumstances under which it was said nor the person who said it (because, let’s admit it, coming from Red it sounds more like "Deny yourself nothing"/"Go wild")

LOL 😂 I'll be honest, anon, I don't even remember this quote, but I think you're definitely right that the list of things Red wouldn't do is... pretty short 🤣 But, that's just one of the many reasons we love him!! Anyway, thanks for this, anon, & much love to you!! ❤️
