[Sith War 2002] Shocking Changes
Peter Hanely
| "People all 'round the world. Join in. Start a love train, love
| train!"
| The Jedi Hacker's frequency was suddenly disrupted and he cuddled with
| the nearest transistor.
As it happened, the nearest transister was central to a local power sub
station. Following the hackers intoxicated mood, the transister
mellowed out, sending the neighborhood into a brownout. H.A.R.R.I.S.s
UPS and emergency generator kicked in. Then a change unprecidented in
the hackers experience. With a pulse broadcasting itself through the
Force, the whole planet changed. Meat? Meat! The Hacker shocked from
his revery, the transister followed suit. Surging for a milisecond to
full power, the substation sent out a massive power surge, knocking out
circuit breakers across the city. Frazzled by the electric shock, and
finding the transister rather dead, the Hacker moved on.
Summary: Electrical service RASSM city wide is out.

After having roamed the outer reaches of the galaxy in her little ship, the
_Peace Out_ (formerly known as the _Small Annoying Winged Insect That Spreads
Incurable Infectious Disease To Everyone It Bites_) and after having a
spiritual epiphany of peace from falling off the psychedelic edge of the
universe, Dimond wandered serenely back to her old home on RASSM. As the
system approached, she thought of her little flat and the books that she'd left
there, and wondered if she might be able to start her vast Tolkien collection
over again, since all had been destroyed the last time Planet RASSM had been
demolished.
The console beeped as the _Peace Out_ neared the RASS system. Dimond pulled
the ship out of hyperspace. The new RASSM planet looked strangely... red...
from the viewscreen, but Dimond didn't think much of it. She let her R2 land
the ship as she went to freshen up before stepping off the ship. Her R2 gave a
funny little beep when it told her they'd landed.
"What're you worried about this time?" Dimond asked it, pulling on a jacket.
The R2 muttered something about cheese, but Dimond just laughed. "Strange
things are always happening on RASSM; that's why I moved here. Besides, I like
cheese." Ignoring half-hearted warnings from the R2 unit, she put down the
ramp and took her first step in ages on Planet RASSM.
She took one look around at the meaty, saucy, cheesy surface of the erstwhile
planet and current giant meatball, took a deep, calming breath, turned on her
heel, and walked back onboard the ship.
"That's it, R2," she said. "I've had it with Sith Wars."
Coordinates set for the edge of the universe, Dimond took off. Besides, it had
been a long time since she'd been to Milliways.
