Random part from We Must Carry On

Night had almost fully covered Kaas City, by the time she made it back. Keeper seemed to sense she needed a break as he gave her one of intelligence’s apartments in the city and sent her and Kaliyo off to sleep while the Watchers sorted through all the data they’d collected and prepare the next steps of the operation. Sure, a terrorist attack didn’t give much room for downtime. That made it all the more important that they rest. 

She’d managed to hold herself together all day. There’d be consequences if anyone found out what had happened and they wouldn’t fall on Jadus. In the Empire, the Sith were gods and the Dark Council members more then the rest. To defy them was death. If they did something, it became legal because they were the ones who did it, if only legal for them. To report them for anything at all was defiance of the Empires gods. It was not done if you wanted to survive, if you wanted them not to hurt you or destroy your life and retaliate against your family. At least her people merely banished the family for an offense against the ruling families. The Sith were worse. There was nothing she could do against Jadus and any attempt would make everything so much worse. So she kept her tears pushed away. She hid everything she could. She survived the day. 

It wasn’t until they were clear of the building and approaching the apartment that she stopped Kaliyo. “Listen, I know sentiment and personal favors aren’t part of your job. But I need you to go get someone and bring her back to the apartment.”

“Hmm girls, agent? Didn’t think you were the type. Not in the mood to see things though.”

“No Kaliyo it’s not like that. It’s… She’s my older sister. And the place has two rooms. Please… I just… I just need to talk with my sister and I can’t call her.”

“Ya know, I don’t think I want to know. You imperial types are just freaky.”

“I’ll owe you one.”

The Rattataki sighed and rolled her eyes. “Fine. Only because you’re half decent with that blaster and I might find that useful.”

Izutsa sighed. “Thank you. You need to go to the Chiss Embassy over by the administrative complex and find Ciski’itoasa’remmeth. She’s an assistant ambassador attached to the Aristocra. Just tell her I need her. Tell her ‘K'tusah bah vamci’. It’s an old code phrase. She’ll come. Lead her back or just tell her where we’re staying. I don’t care. I just need to see her before we have to go back in.”

Kaliyo shrugged and headed out. Izutsa had pointed out parts of the city as they’d traveled and Kaliyo had ID chits identifying her as an intelligence contractor. She’d be fine.

Heads Up, 7 Up!

Heads up, 7 Up Meme (7 lines)

I was tagged by @sleepswithvillains Thanks!

tagging: anyone who wants to do this since I can’t remember who writes, who draws and who just loves everybodys stuff. (i’m going to make a list, let me know if you want on the list so i tag you in this sort of stuff)

So I decided to start the next part of Izutsa’s story so I’ll go with 7 lines from We Must Carry On (This Will Not Break You)

Izutsa watched Fifteen walk away, a steadiness to her stride as if she hadn’t spent the last half hour helping a bruised, sobbing, mess clean herself up. She took a few deep breaths, trying to remember where she was and what the rules were. She wanted to go back to her apartment, to shower until she finally couldn’t feel Jadus’s hands on her. She wanted her sister or her mother. She wanted to never see or speak to another person ever again. But none of those options were available. She had to go on. There were rules around her, and even if there weren’t, terrorists weren’t going to take a break just because she needed one.

Minute of Silence on WKNC

If you tune in to 88.1 FM Thursday, April 28 at 1 p.m. you will hear silence.  This is not a technical difficulty. This is not dead air. It is a statement. In partnership with 13 other radio stations, WKNC is working with College Broadcasters, Inc in an effort to:

"...bring awareness of the deep impact that the sale of student radio stations is having on campuses and their surrounding communities. CBI, who represents over 200 student media outlets, has become increasingly alarmed at the sale of student stations... Recently, student stations have been sold, and with them the loss of local voices and content.  Texas Tech University, Trevecca Nazrene University, Augustana College, Deerfield Academy and pending sales at The University of San Francisco and Vanderbilt University are all examples of student stations transferred or being transferred to non-educational operators... The minute of silence is a first step as part of a broader effort to build awareness of the selling of student stations... Additional efforts to champion the importance of student stations will take place in the months and years ahead."
