Log from Luap Outback, Chief Security Officer
From the moment we set foot on the Halcyon, I knew the odds were stacked against us. Our mission to deliver our “guests” was made all the more difficult when the First Order created a tight grip on the ship, and rescuing its crew seemed like an impossible task. If we were to complete our primary mission, however, we couldn’t just stand by and watch innocent lives be crushed under their oppressive rule.
As I led the Sarlacc Squadron through the labyrinthine corridors of the Halcyon, a scoundrel named Raithe Kole appeared seemingly out of nowhere. With a sly grin and a mischievous glint in his eyes, Raithe introduced himself as a “freelance problem solver” with a knack for finding creative solutions to sticky situations.
My instincts told me to be wary, but there was something about Raithe that appealed to my sensibilities. He exuded a confidence and resourcefulness that were hard to ignore. I decided to give him a chance, and boy, am I glad I did.
As we encountered one obstacle after another, Raithe’s expertise as a scoundrel became evident. He had an uncanny ability to navigate through tight spots and a silver tongue that could charm even the most stubborn guards…indeed, having a way of getting things done that left me impressed.
With Raithe’s help, we sneaked past patrols, hacked into security systems, and outwitted the First Order at every turn. He had helped recruit passengers into the Squadron, further increasing our presence and proved invaluable in obtaining the intel we needed to pull off this daring rescue.
But it wasn’t just his skills that won me over. As we fought side by side, I saw a genuine dedication in Raithe, a belief in the cause that mirrored my own. He had a rough exterior, but underneath it, I could sense a heart that cared deeply for those oppressed by the First Order’s tyranny. While driving me to drink for the first time in 17 years, that Gaya Special helped deepen the camaraderie between us.
As the battle raged on, Raithe proved to be a reliable and fearless ally. When we faced a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in the ship’s main control room, it was Raithe who concocted a brilliant diversion, giving us the precious moments we needed to disable the First Order’s control over the Halcyon.
When the rescue was complete and the Halcyon’s crew was safe, I found myself looking at Raithe with newfound respect. He had earned his place among my crew, not just as a capable ally but as a friend. There was a camaraderie that had formed through shared danger and triumph, and I knew that Raithe was someone I could depend on.
As we returned to the Mayhem, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for Raithe’s unexpected assistance. He had shown me that sometimes, the unlikeliest of allies could make all the difference in a battle against injustice.
In Raithe Kole, I had found a scoundrel with a heart of gold, a rogue with principles, and a trusted partner in the fight against the First Order. Together, we would continue to navigate the treacherous waters of resistance, drawing strength from each other as we worked towards a future where freedom and justice prevailed.
