Introduction

Greetings everyone!

I hope the summer has treated you well! Lots of popsicles, pool parties, bbq’s and fun in the sun. The midway point of the year has come and gone and now and as with all things we greet the future with open arms.

I’ll be frank, I am suffering from success from being thrown into the thick of it, but I’ll be doing my best to make sure my time as the head of House Sunrider is one fruitful where everyone can enjoy their time and have fun within the house and with the events we set up.

Recap

Tythas city is out of the frying pan into the flame as the sabotages placed upon their systems have finally dissipated, a new problem arises, Martial law. The damages created by those who would destroy the new House have taken a greater toll than anticipated. Not just on public perception but on the regulations required to keep citizens out of harm's way. Dissatisfaction from the public is manageable, intercepting those who would cause further harm is where the situation becomes complex.

Fiction

Tythas City

Daleem

The sound of the holoTV echoed through as the jingle of the morning newscast bustled along with various images of the planet, natural locations, protests, and then the broadcasting studio with the logo displayed brightly atop of the building.

“Welcome back to the morning news, I’m Gins Nubek joined again by my co-host Iza Muvok,” the Mon Calamari man spoke as he turned to his Pantoran co-host. “Thank you Gins,” she responded, the focus of the frame now on her.

“We continue our special report on the current situation happening here in Tythas City as Martial law has yet to be lifted.” The close up of her face receded showing an image of what appeared to be protests between the two news cast hosts.

“Protests have been forming with more civilians restless as concerns over governmental overreach are at an all time high. We’ve been given explanations that the security of workers and their families has been the top priority, yet many believe this an excuse,” the Mon Calamari continued as the images changed to video footage of buildings being reconstructed and reopened.

“With the culprits of the recent problems neutralized and new information being released as the days continue many believe it is time to end the Martial law established in order to protect the citizens, while others seem to be satisfied with the added security, here are some witness accounts,” Iza stated, as a video transition began, with the logo of the broadcast sliding through to what appeared to be a pre recorded segment of an interview with some protesters and passerbys.

“Me sa no think wesa in no more danger. Martial law maken nosa sense,” a Gungan man spoke, looking quite annoyed and turning away with a sign that read “Lift the law.” The footage changed then to a Nautolan woman who seemed quite distressed. “I lost family in those incidents, we need Martial law until we’re sure we’ve caught every person respon–”

A funky tune played on the holo TV as a man walked toward the center of a stage with what appeared to be two families on either side of him “We’re back to Household Clash!”

“Hey I was watching that!” The small mandalorian complained as the sizzling in the back of the diner continued, a faint ‘order up’ echoed through the diner, patrons mumbled, the clicking of cutlery from the kitchen and customers echoed along with the usual hushed chatter of the morning.

“Dont mind him darlin he just wants to watch Household Clash, like a kid,” the humanoid waitress behind the little diner bar commented aloud, eliciting a shout from the man in the kitchen.

“I am not a kid! It is good and funny! Don’t patronize me, woman! If you want the news just stare out the window,” the twi’lek man grumbled while pointing at the large window behind the mandalorian and the other patrons sitting in the booths, shutting what appeared to be a window that divided the kitchen from the front facing area of the diner with a little more force than necessary.

“Anything else I can get you dear?” the woman asked as she served another patron before returning to the mandalorian with a chuckle.

“No, it's fine.” Her helmet shook side to side while she finished fishing out the proper credit amount to leave behind. Once satisfied with the amount she hopped off the stool bidding the waitress goodbye. The clang of her armor as she landed eliciting stares from other patrons as she exited the diner ready for the day ahead.

The crowds of protesters gathered grew by the day, it wasn’t the best situation to be in. Pity is what she felt for the citizenry, it wasn’t their fault that they had been dealt such a hand. All the precautions were needed even if there was no way to placate the already restless citizenship. Tragedy after tragedy had marked the city and wounds were still healing, scars were but forming. She was lost in thought for a while as she roamed the streets on foot until she overheard something.

“I can’t believe it's been months since those incidents and we’re still under Martial law. When are they going to stop this?” a voice, male, older; spoke in a more hushed tone, they hadn’t noticed her.

“I think we’re going to have to stop it ourselves,” a younger masculine voice replied. “They’re not going to stop, we shouldn’t have to wait for some soldiers to tell us everything's back to normal when it's not!”
