Galactic Blues: Two Lives

KREENA 	JEEZ NOLAN
Kreena is a Makaniri woman from Kazamage. She was born into the Order of Terunn, a cult of Makaniri led by Habberd, a Makaniri wishing to restore his race to their former glory. His main way to achieve this is to recreate the lost magic of his people known as Sandcache. He impregnates many women and performs rituals and experiments of both the born and unborn children in an attempt to "ignite" the dormant magic. Only one child is a success and she is trained from a very young age. Habberd decides that he will father children with Kreena now that she is of maturity, believing that any child of hers will possess the power. She refuses to go along with this and she leaves her village and latter the planet. 	??
Kreena arrives on Bronto via a space-carrier and enters the city of Oram. She observes for a while before finding a tavern. Once inside she notices that her appearance has taken the attention of several people, including Corvin Slane. 	
 	Jeez and her squad venture through a village in ruins.
Local gangster Daga takes notice and attempts to get close. She refuses him and has to get physical when he fails to take notice. Daga and his crew surround her and she proceeds to fight them, handling herself well. Slane even helps her out slightly. Kreena eventually showcases her unique powers by severing Daga's blaster. Daga and his crew flee the tavern. Slane sits with Kreena and talks for a bit before leaving.
Kreena leaves soon after and in no time she is surrounded by Daga and her crew once again, only this time they have blasters. She uses custom made marbles and whips to mutilate the crew and she ultimately kills Daga. The police arrive and take her into custody. 	
 	?
Kreena is interviewed by detectives Noose & Landon and she reveal's where she is from and what happened between her and Daga. The police know they should lock her up for murder and disabling harm, however Daga and his crew were noted criminals and with them gone the police not have to pay any attention to them. As the cops contemplate what to do, Stablemaster Horace Tanama arrives and wishes to speak to Kreena. He explains his situation to Noose and due to their old friendship he is allowed to speak to her. Horace meets Kreena and reveals to her his reason for meeting her: The Grand Branmaul Tournament is approaching and as a Grand Stablemaster, Horace is expected to enter a competitor. His stable, though one of the 12 Great Stables, has fallen out of favour with the public and with that his riches are gone. He has become so desperate that he had hired Daga to fight for him. Now Daga is dead. She apologizes for the inconvenience but she did kill him to save herself. He asks her if she would be willing to fight for his stable in the tournament. She accepts but only after being offered food and shelter at his home.	
 	Jeez and her comrades eat their rations. They theorize where the "enemy" came from and why they are attacking their planet. Given that the enemy simply kills others and doesn't seem concerned with gathering materials or riches, no one is certain of their reasons.
Kreena is released into Horace's care and goes to his home where she meets his wife Madeline. 	
 	During the night, Jeez and her comrades venture further towards their destinaion, passing through a burnout city.
Horace and the other stablemasters arrive at the tournament pairing in Branmaul, conducted by Mayor Lumen Greep. The masters are each accompanied by their representatives. Once they have each given their names over, the general competitors are brought in and the pairings are made. Kreena meets Slane and the two talk briefly. The matches are decided and Kreena's first opponent is Mamak Tul of Stablemaster Tullen Willak's stable. 	
The opening ceremony begins and an introduction is made by Mayor Greep. All of the general competitors are brought out first, followed by the 12 Stable Fighters.
Kreena and the others watch Slane fight against and defeat Stable Fighter Yana, showcasing his cybernetic enhancements during the process.
Kreena fights Mamak and ends the fight almost instantly. Her powers shock everyone and also intrigue many.
