Death Star: episode #23 The Emperor’s Daughters
Previously: Lando was able to get the Death Star plans form Grand Moff Tarkin.
They all pretended to go off in a different direction other than Cloud City. They returned to Clod City via a longer route. Lando knew that an order would be given to check the immediate vicinity. And that included Cloud City. This meant that he would have to get rid of the droids. The only thing Lando could see doing would be to send the droids with someone going to a different planet. One of Lando’s men says, “I'm planning on going to Anuvuin. I could drop them off there…” Lando thins for a minute, “that would be risky, since that is the Maurder Capital. But then again the Maurders aren’t smart enough to reason very well…they know nothing about the plans. I suppose that’s better than going somewhere controlled by the Empire. Sure take them with you.” So that’s what happens, and R2-D2 and C-3PO find their way into the factory where Luke and I find them. Now on to the Emperor’s daughters. There names are Nelly and Ursula Kritch. AS I briefly mentioned at the end of episode #10, they are waiting by their servants, Minka and Taran’s room. They are just downright mean children. Minka had originally been a servant to the Maurders before the Clone Wars. Taran was a person that’s about 20. Nelly and Ursula’s mother is a bantha…they look human, though. Ursula is a year older than Nelly. Ursula says, “Come her, Minka. You’ve been in there long enough. We need you out her to get things ready for Darth Vader’s 39th surprise birthday part, even though it’s a couple months since his birthday. He was out doing something for father, you know on his birthday. Taran almost laughs, but the magnates to hide it. The thought of Vader having a surprise birthday party, or even a birthday party at all was hilarious. Vader was bound to get very angry…who knew with him. Anyway, they were talking about tit when one of the read Imperial guards came up to the girls and says, “Your father would like to talk to you.” The Emperor is staring out the window when his daughters approached, they kneel before him. “Rise, my daughters. I have a special assignment for you.” He turns to Nelly, “You’re about the right age. You’ll need to do a little spy work for me…I need you to pretend you’re someone.” He bends over and whispers something in her ear. She smiles meanly, then looks up at her father and says, “I think I can handle that.” “Good…and as for you,” he turns to his other daughters, “I need to make sure Darth Vader doesn’t’ find out too much from his little trip. You will meet up with him. Get him away from Samantha if he starts asking questions that you think might reveal something. That’s the purpose of this party. Vader needs as distraction for his mission.” Although Darth Vader is the Emperor’s top-notch person, it doesn’t mean that he TRUSTS Vader. The Dark Side is like that. You have no true friends. True, the Emperor trusts Vader over most of the people, but that’s not saying too much. The Emperor is well aware that Vader has more than the average intelligence and uses it to sometimes try to do something without the Emperor’s knowing. The Emperors is fairly sure that there are some things Vader is hiding that even his men cant’ uncover, and most things are uncovered. IT sometimes amuses the Emperor…but this is something far deadlier tan those things. The Emperor’s daughters lave on their own separate missions. Taran and Minka were listening in. They hated the way things worked in the Empire. While they had no liking for Vader at all…they didn’t think the people in the Empire should plot against each other…especially when they’re both so top ranking, Minka whispers to Taran, “Someday that’ll be the Empire's undoing. If they’re going to last they’ve to be working together…not plotting against each other and pretending like nothing’s going on.” Taran says, “Yeah, but I think we should get back to work on this “Party”. But it’s fear that holds the Empire together.” “Even that can’t hold together forever. There is an old Jedi Legend of one who will bring balance to the Force.”
Until next time!
