driftfleet | Catch all for the month

Who: Hux and Open
Broadcast: None
Action: Yes.
When: Upon arrival in the Yangur system, until next drift period.

A) Exploring the Mist.
Hux will find his personal blaster from home during one of his encounter of his own fears. If you want me to do another thread prompt for fear I can create another one.

"Fear of failure"

[Using the simple space suite provided from their ship, Hux set to exploring the mist. At first it started out as a faint voice. Hux had shrugged it off and continued to explore the mist. He was curious to see what he could find and how much of those rumors were true. What powers were there that he could possibly gain? Could this make him better then the pathetic Force user that was Kyo Ren?

But then he kept hearing it again. His father's voice taunting him, calling him weak willed and useless. Breathing heavily into his mask he looked around trying to find the source. He saw nothing but mist swirling around him.]

It's just your imagination.

[Hux said to himself in a firm tone. He continued to push forward, only he wasn't finding nothing. He began to wonder if he was going in a mere circle.]

You're a weak, pathetic boy. You're never going to go anywhere. I don't know why I wasted my time on you. You just keep failing even when giving everything. You'll never be good for the First Order. I was always right about you.

[Hux whirled around trying to face the person who sounded like his father. He was dead. He's not here. Yet, it sounded so much like him. He pointed the blaster in the direction of the voice, his eyes wide and his own heart beat racing.]

Show yourself!

B: Exploring

For someone who didn't want to leave the ship, Hux could be found exploring the various little islands that the world had to offer. While exploring, he took to salvaging anything worth using or eating. It never hurt to stock up on such things. Checking the various shops, he kept an eye out for his tea or various wires and scraps that could be used to making more things.

C: Wildcard

This can be anything in the system, back on the ship, or if you want another mist thread.

She had something like that back home for a while. It uh... well, it got destroyed when the Castle was taken over by an enemy. Having another one around would probably be something she'd like.

[Keith glanced over Hux's shoulder, watching him dig through the bins for a bit.]

We usually try to stock up on stuff before we leave a system, so not a bad idea, really. The ships are actually pretty good at self-repair, but there are times when that might not work, or something interferes, so yeah. Being prepared isn't a bad idea.

Is there anything you want help looking for?

The scrap here is pretty good. I can easily find this here, but I'm trying to find the more smaller things, like wires, nuts and bolts, computer chips. I'm having a harder time finding those.

Well, it'll be a bit before I can provide Pidge the droid. I'm almost done working on the prototype. I would appreciate that you don't mention it to her.

Absolutely. I won't say a thing.

[Keith poked around a bit as well, deciding to pitch in and help. He knew the basics of what Hux was looking for, at least. He wasn't completely ignorant. Every pilot in the Garrison had to take a basic engineering course.]

How have you been settling in, otherwise?

[Keith wasn't sure how many computer chips they'd find around here, since everything seemed a little behind the times for that sort of thing, but wires, nuts, and bolts were definitely easy.]

It's getting better, I suppose. I'll admit it's hard not having control of things as I'm used to having. Having to step aside and wait for orders is something I'm having to get used to.

But now that I have work on projects it's giving me something to focus on. How are you enjoying this planet?

[Keith nodded a little at the idea of having a project to focus on. He could relate.

As for enjoying the planet...]

The people and stuff are pretty okay, but...

[He glanced over towards where some mist was visible from their current vantage point.]

There's something weird out there, and I don't like the feeling I'm getting from it.

[Keith's expression turned distrustful and uncertain as he looked at it. He was bothered by the whole thing.]

Are you referring to that mist?

[Hux quietly replied and shuddered involuntary at the mention of it. His experience with the mist was not something he wanted to repeat again.]

Yeah...

[Keith frowned.]

I don't like it.

As much as I wish to explore that mist to see why it is the way it is...I don't wish to repeat my experience either.

Have you been it already?

[Keith was curious.]

[He gave a nod and avoided making eye contact.]

I managed to find something from home in my travels through it....but overall I'm not so sure I want to go back there.

Yeah... same. I found something, too. It was like... I knew it was there, and, now that I have it, I definitely don't want to go back in.

[Mental shudder as he remembered what he saw.]

Except... there's that monster in there... and it's eating islands, which threatens the people of this world. I can't help but wonder if we should get together a team and try to do something about it.

[There was a slight twitch in his right cheek before he finally looked up with more determination.]

Perhaps, if we formulate a plan and have better equipment we can destroy it.

[Keith nodded.]

It's the equipment that seems to be the biggest issue. We've coordinated efforts before.

Agreed. Even if I could rig the spacesuit I used before to be stronger, I don't think it would be strong enough to survive that mist for a long time. Let alone, what is the monster's weakness?

That we don't know, yet, but we have some pretty determined people here. I'm sure someone will find it soon, if it's not us.

[Keith shrugged.]

The locals haven't found anything, yet, either, so we're going to have to do this the hard way.

Nothing is ever easy. I'm sure if they knew they would have stopped it by now. Maybe I can dig up any lore on this and see if there is anything that was overlooked.

That sounds like a good plan.

Let me know what you find. I'll let you know if I find anything, too.
