S3, 04 Getting Support (April 30, 2015)

Jakor begins his mission of secretly helping the Galactic Imperium fight the Collective.

After story block, updating Java, and procrastination, this build, originally meant to be a freebuild, is now up! It was meant to take place about the middle of this month.

Jakor had landed on Qoter a moderate distance from the besieged Regentis, and was walking on a street seeing if he could scavenge any armor for himself. The remnants of a battle and the quietness of the scene gave a depressing and eerie feeling to Jakor.

Jakor went up to one of the bodies. He thought that if he was going to secretly be helping the Imperium, he might as well have some blue as part of his outfit.

Jakor saw what appeared to be an advanced soldier, possibly from the Collective. Not surprisingly, any armor and weapons it might have had had been taken, but there still was a seemingly advanced sidearm that Jakor took.

More interesting stuff was to be found as Jakor turned around.

Being done scavenging, Jakor went into a building.

He then came out equipped with his armor and weapons that he had picked out (the katana is similar to a Star Wars vibro-blade)

Jakor gazed at the scene, wondering what he would do from there.

Then, sensing something, he quickly turned around.

Jakor saw a scared kid with presumably stolen Collective equipment. He seemed to be close to the same age as Jera, whom Jakor was reminded of. He started to miss Aurelia, but then got over it.

The awkward standoff continued.

Finally, Jakor started lowering his gun.

Jakor: "Settle down. We can talk this over."

Kid: "You got into my shelter I was using."

Jakor: "I didn’t know that. I just went in and was done there in a short while."

Kid: "Who are you with?"

Jakor assumed he meant the rivalry of the Galactic Imperium and Aurelia.

Jakor: "I have sympathies with Aurelia but don’t want the Imperium to fall under the Collective."

Jakor: "What about you?"

Kid: "I’m just trying to survive. I’m Adrian."

Jakor: "I’m…..Shadow."

Adrian: "(sarcasm)That’s original."

Jakor/Shadow: "It was the best I could come up with."

Jakor: "You know what? I’m here to fight the Collective, but I realize I can’t do it on my own. How would you like to team up with me?

Adrian: "Sure. I have a speeder I got from the Collective that will fit both of us. We can go to one of my hideouts and plan what to do."

Jakor: "Then let’s go!"

Later, Jakor and Adrian were on their speeder going across the landscape of Qoter when they heard some noises.

They saw two speeders, presumably from the Collective, pursuing another speeder possibly belonging to survivors like themselves. There was also a fourth speeder in the distance, though it didn’t seem to have the attention of the Collective speeders.

Adrian: "Do you think we should go help them?"

Jakor: "That might be a good idea. Besides saving them, we could possibly get ourselves some equipment and supporters for our fight."

Adrian: "Alright then."

They headed toward the pursuit.

Jakor: "Adrian, bring us over to the closest speeder so I can get on it."

They moved to the speeder.

They made a turn.

Adrian stopped the speeder, using the momentum to catapult Jakor onto the Collective speeder.

Jakor landed on the speeder-

- and threw off its rider.

Then they were met by the fourth speeder from earlier.

Man: "Can I join you? I wanted to get away from those unstoppable Collective soldiers, but your going up against them made me want to help you."

Jakor: "They’re not unstoppable in the slightest; I’m going to shoot that other speeder and the rider will die like any other person."

They were then interrupted by a laser shot.

A speeder zoomed past them.

Man: "That must be a Collective loyalist!"

Jakor: "I’ll take care of him!"

Laser shooting.

Laser landing.

The second Collective speeder noticed and turned around.

As the Collective speeder was planning to attack from behind, Jakor formulated a plan.

Jakor: "Adrian, I’m going to turn and grab the hook on your speeder. Whoever you are, grab the hook as I pass it to you!"

Using the advanced technologies of the Collective, Jakor made a quick turn toward Adrian.

He grabbed the hook-

-and brought it to the man.

Jakor sped away as the Collective speeder came toward the others.

The Collective soldier was then knocked off its speeder.

The speeder went on its own toward the survivor speeder.

It's passenger jumped onto the speeder.

Later, after gathering the dead Collective soldiers to get their armor and weapons, the five met together.

Hood man: "Thanks for saving us! We were just minding our business when we were spotted by those Collective soldiers. I’m Caleb."

Other man: "And I’m Matt, and he likes having that hood on at all times."

Jakor, as a perpetual face cover wearer, complimented Caleb.

Adrian: "I’m Adrian."

Man: "I'm Ryan."

Jakor: "I just thought of something..."

Jakor: "We all don’t like the Collective and are trying to survive. Why don’t we all join together to fight the Collective? We could even start an organization."

There were agreements, and they then formed the Anti-Collective League.

Group: "Let's do this thing!"

The founding members of the ACL: Jakor, Adrian, Caleb, Matt, and Ryan.

Karon: "Psyce!"
