Emperor's Hammer Newsletter #71

On the hangar deck of the ISD Grey Wolf

As Colonel Chrusos Ichthys strapped himself into his Tie Fighter, he wondered what the future held in store. He thought about some critical turning points in the not so distant past. Ten key turning points came immediately to mind:

10. "But I was gonna go to Tosche station to pick up some power convertors!" - "Oh allright, but be back at 9 !"

9. "Perhaps you'd like it back in your cell, your highness" - "After hanging around with you guys, yes!"

8. "It's Luke, I know where he is !" - "You're dreaming Leia, get us out of here Chewie"

7."Join me and together we can rule the galaxy as father & son" - "Cool!"

6."Ooooooooh no! You're not pulling that old 'remove my restraining bolt' trick on ME!"

5. "Ten Thousand? We could buy our own ship for that!" - "You're right, Luke - this guy's a rip-off artist! Let's go."

4. "Adventure, heh! Excitement, heh! A Jedi craves not these things." - "Boring. C'mon, Artoo, let's go."

3. "I'll ask you one last time - where is the rebel base?" - "Yavin IV".

2."These aren't the droids you're looking for" - "Well they sure look like them. You're busted."

1."Sir, there's another one. No life forms." - "Shoot it."

And now, some seven-thirteen years later...

0. Who will be the next Aggressor Strike Force BattleGroup Commander?

Why was there this prickling sensation that soon the ASF would dramaticly change? Colonel Ichthys shrugged and devoted his attention to flying. Soon he would be engaging rebels and there would be no time for thinking of other things.
