[SITH WAR] That's some good eatin'
Lefty Skywalker
find a kilometer-wide shakk directly in its path, its gaping maw facing
directly at Dan'ls ship. Evasives were useless, the Falcon was still
moving too fast. He braced for impact.
The fiery destruction never came. There was a faint ripping noise as
the Falcon ripped through the thin fiberglass shell of the shakk.
It was a sign. Not a sign from aboive, or anything metaphysical; as
Dan'l flew out of the hole he'd made, and came about, he saw the logo:
SHAKKMASTER'S SHAKKBURGER EMPORIUM.
---------------------------------------------------
As he munched his shakkburker, he talked to the new owner.
"But why did you put it here?"
"I figured I'd put it here where everyone would fly past it into the
system."
Shakkmaster was an odd little fellow. He wasn't much to look at. He
wore his hair shaggy and had a shepherd's crook.
"Dude, you can put it next to the space lane, but you can't put it *in*
the space lane."
"There's no law says I can't! And business has been great!" He waved
to encompass the dozen or so patches on the hide of his shakk, the dozen
or so scratched-up spaceships in his parking lot, and the dozen or so
shaken-looking spacers eating his shakkburgers.
"Where do you get the shakk?"
"Son, if you promise not to ask me about the shakkpacking industry on
RASSM Planet, then I promise not to tell you about it."
"Fair enough," said Dan'l, after briefly scanning his burger for traces
of pink. "You got a newspaper or anything?"
"Sure!"
He sipped his trout-flavored beer and skimmed the usual news of attacks
on Red Six (he mentally shook the dust from his sandals), the obligatory
bit about the desertion and looting of the Sith War Goddess's temples,
and the daiily wart report. Wart report! For Goddess's sake, she
turned the place into a frog and now there's a daily wart report.
Apparently they're hazards to navigation. Who knew? As if
kilometer-wide shakks in the spacelanes weren't bad enough.
The back page of the front section had a full page-ad. The ad featured
a picture of the warlord Tilson in a ridiculous-looking fake white beard
ill-fitting and old-fashioned patriotic suit. "I want YOU," it said,
"for - " The words "Pol's NPC Euthanasia Project" were stenciled over
with "Happy Fun Land". The bottom of the page had a list of bounties
for various kippers, GSVs, and their avatars.
It was good money. *Very* good money. But not easy money. How can you
kill a godlike GSV NPC?
Well, that's easy. You buy your way up to its tech level.
He glanced over the other patrons of the burger joint to see if any were
doing better cash-wise than he was. His eyes settled on a guy who had a
meatheaded but good-natured look. He and his wyrmlike companion both
had what appeared to be extremely fancy wristwatches. The man caught
his eye and motioned him over.
"Greetings, friend! I and my scaly companion here are new to this
sytem. We've spent several years pursuing a Boskoniam deadbeat across
thee galaxies here to RASSM. He may have been hiding out here for
several years. Anyone shown up and set up any sort of enormous network
of powerful and possibly ill-intentioned heavies?"
"Funny you should mention that," said Dan'l.
"See, Worsel? I told you this'd be the place."
"If you say so, Kimball," replied the wyrm, and blinked each of its four
eyes in sequence.
SUMMARY: Enter Lensmen, stage left. Ted Stryker and these guys ought to
get along great, if they ever meet up...

I wouldn't fire your editor if I were you. I fired mine and look at all the
glaring errors in my SW post. I write then hit "send", I'm too lazy to
edit.
We should have to submit our Sith War posts through shavenwookie.com. That
would take care of editing problems as well as continuity errors.

You know, I was just thinking that Sith War really needs another
nitpicker without a sense of humor.

I've created to deal death and destruction for a person who sells burgers. Just
for your information, I have a grim sense of humor but it's there.

You know, this was the only error I actually saw when I read it. I guess I
must focus obsessively on the parts of others' posts that talk about me.
Character flaw, I suppose.
Anyone is free to use my character without permission. Being used is the
main reason I even post to Sith Wars.
