Calida is bisexual! It's very funny how she reveals this to Armin in #DarkFrontier

After waking up in the Eidolon's medbay, Armin and Calida discuss what happened after he blacked out.
#darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon
"Oh, thank the Force. You're awake," Calida said. "I thought you were… How do you feel?" Armin thought for a moment, subtly flexing muscles throughout his body. Nearly all of them ached. "Like I went a few rounds with a Gamorrean shockboxer," he admitted. Calida smiled sweetly at him. "Well, you don't look any worse for wear," she said. "What happened? Last thing I remember was being…" "Shot at? Yeah. We took a pretty bad hit on the rear dorsal quarter," Calida replied. "It knocked you completely out of the turret. You fell down the ladder and hit the deck." "That explains a lot," Armin said. "What happened with the pirates?" Calida frowned. "Another ship entered the system and opened up on them. They retreated pretty fast after that," she answered. "What ship?" Armin asked. "Some Imperial ship. A Raider Deuce," Calida replied. "Did you get an ID?" the Thyferran asked. "The Corvus," she said. Armin scoured his memory. "Name doesn't ring a bell," he muttered. "No idea what an Imperial ship is doing out here, though." "They're probably wondering the same thing about us," Calida pointed out. "Picket ships tend to stick to, y'know, pickets."

Eager for a score and a bit of credits to spend, the Nara sisters begin planning a casino job. #DarkFrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #kaitonara #orinnara #yuminara
"That looks like a good one," Yumi said, picking out a point on the starmap. The Alcedian gave her a tired look. "Canto Bight?" she asked. "Are you serious?" "There are tons of casinos on the planet," Yumi answered. "We only need to hit one or two and we'll be set." "She has a point," Orin said. "By keeping the raid to a minimum, the casinos on Canto Bight would barely register a disturbance. It's a prime target. With the Path engine, we can be in and out in no time." "We're not the only ones with a Path engine, though," Kaito pointed out. "Personally, I don't feel like tangling with the Snow Queen. The Banshee is tough but she can't go toe-to-toe with an MC80 cruiser." "I doubt the Winter's Bite will risk using a Path engine. Last we heard, they were still near Eshan," Orin replied. "The Path engine would pretty much take them the most direct route, and that goes directly through the Galactic Core. Even that cruiser would be crushed like a pastry under those gravitational forces." Kaito sat back in her seat and frowned. "If they don't use the Path engine, they'll have to take a pretty long circuit. It would take five or six days to get there. That should give us enough time, but we'll need to be smart about it," she said. Leaning forward, she looked at each of the other two women, and added, "Let's get planning."

When they're captured by the Baran Syndicate, Armin and Calida have to wait for a distraction in order to attempt to escape. #darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #taronblackfeather
"They caught the fighters on the ground. They can't take off!" "Then we'll hold here and wipe 'em out!" Blackfeather roared. "Get your sorry carcass moving!" He shoved the pirate back out the door, then turned back to Armin and Calida. "This isn't over yet. I'll be back to get what I want." As soon as the door slammed shut, Armin went to work. Calida strained against her restraints to no avail, but the Thyferran was more methodical in his approach. He adjusted his shoulders as much as he could, to bring his wrists closer together, then began feeling the outside of his binders with his middle finger. Calida heard him grunt with effort and asked, "What are you doing?" "Getting free," he answered. "Give me a second." There was a series of five beeps, and Calida heard a click. Armin brought his arms around, one still wearing the binders, but the other freed. He shucked the restraints off, then went to work on Calida's. Seconds later, he pulled her from her seat. "How did you do that?" she asked. "Intelligence training, remember?" Armin asked, as if it should've been obvious. "These are TX-1 series binders. The Empire abandoned them years ago because of faulty catches - there was a backdoor code sliced in during manufacturing. If you know the code, it's easy to get out." He and Calida seized their blasters and ident cards from the table and moved to either side of the door.

A short scene from #darkfrontier that shows two of the Nara sisters arguing in the Banshee's engine room.

#starwars #starwarsocs #yuminara #orinnara
"You really think you can pull this off?" Yumi asked, folding her arms. "I would, admittedly, have better luck, if someone were not talking my ear off," Orin replied. "It's a hyperspace engine. You've dealt with them before. What's so difficult about it?" The Mirialan rolled her eyes. "It's not just a hyperspace engine," she hissed. "This is an incredibly complex navigational array that-" "Blah, blah, blah. So what you're saying is it'll take longer to rig up?" Yumi asked. "Essentially, yes," Orin answered. "I have to overlay this with the current stardrive map in order to safely access the new hyperspace paths. And I can't do it with you hovering over my shoulder." "Fine," Yumi said, rolling her eyes. "Just let us know when it's ready. I'm ready for another score." "Aye aye, captain," Orin muttered sarcastically.

Armin reveals the circumstances of his departure from the service.

#starwars #starwarsoc #arminjace #calidahighmoon #darkfrontier
"So tell me about yourself, Armin," the Chandrilan woman said, slipping into the chair across from his. "How does a noted Intelligence agent end up leaving the service after just five years?" Armin snorted. "You mean after defecting from the Empire and its Intelligence service?" he asked. "It's… a long story." "I've got time," Calida replied. The Thyferran sighed. "I defected from the Empire not long after they took over Bespin. It had been coming for a while, but the knowledge that they were working on building a second Death Star sealed it pretty thoroughly," he said. "Over the past several years, I've gone on more recon missions than I could count, lost most of my team. Last year, on a scouting mission, I lost the commander of my squad. I wanted time off to grieve, to process. Command wanted to shove a medal on me and send me right back into the field. So I left." "Just like that?" Calida asked. Armin nodded. "Just like that," he answered. "The truth is, I was tired of it. The spycraft, the killing, the dying. It felt like I was getting nowhere with it. Like I was doing… nothing meaningful." "The Republic is good for many things, and good at many things. Compassion should be one of them," Calida said. "But it's easy to lose sight of one or two people when you're trying to liberate and unite entire worlds. Safe to say, I understand the feeling. I haven't really felt right since my squadron…"

After waking from a nightmare, Calida and Armin discuss the horrors they've each gone through and how Armin seems to be coping.

#starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #darkfrontier
Armin felt the mattress shake, and cracked an eye open. Calida lay next to him, tossing fitfully, her eyes screwed shut as if she were in pain. She groaned, whimpered, then she screamed and sat bolt upright, panting heavily. The Thyferran sat up beside her, placing a gentle hand on her arm. "Easy, Cali. You're alright," he said. "You're safe." Instinctively, she grabbed at Armin's wrist, and he pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her. "Take it easy." "I… I saw…" she tried to choke out. "It was Serenno." "It's over," Armin said, trying to soothe the beleaguered woman. "You're not there anymore. You're safe." Cali swallowed thickly and burrowed into his arms. "How… how do you do it?" she asked. "Do you not have nightmares too?" The Thyferran frowned. "I do. It's not always easy. It took a lot of counseling to start getting past it. Months of therapy. I had a lot of help, and I'm here to help you, too." Calida blinked at Armin with red-rimmed eyes. "I know," she said. "I'm sorry, I should be able to deal with this better." "You're dealing with it as well as you can," Armin replied. "Don't be too hard on yourself."

After news breaks of a disaster, Calida is shaken by the implications, leaving Armin to calm her down.

#darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #isardsrevenge
"… and although Chief of State Mon Mothma has remained circumspect regarding the squadron's fate, it appears as though Rogue Squadron, along with General Wedge Antilles, has indeed met with disaster," the newscaster stated with a somber tone. Armin deactivated the holoprojector and leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees as his head drooped. He glanced up at Calida, who was crying silently opposite him. "You okay?" he asked quietly. The Chandrilan woman shook her head. "That's the second squadron to be wiped out in just a few weeks," she said. "And the Rogues were arguably more elite than the Wolves were. I'm not ashamed to say it. General Antilles trained his people well." Armin nodded, swallowing past a lump in his throat. "I never met him myself, but my cousin Bror flew with him during the campaign against Ysanne Isard. He spoke highly of him." "You think it's possible the same pirates were involved?" Calida asked. "No," Armin said flatly. "The Rogues were in the Corvis Minor system, in the middle of the Ciutric Hegemony. Pirates might've been able to get away with a lot before the Empire fractured, but not after. Word from Intelligence was that Krennel, the man who stole the Hegemony from Sate Pestage, is even more ruthless than most Imp commanders. I'd guess the Rogues were going after him, trying to stop him from consolidating Imperial power in that sector, and they got ambushed by his forces. Wasn't your squadron scouting Serenno?" Calida nodded. "We were investigating it as a possible signatory after Zsinj was killed and his empire fell apart." "That's a 40-hour trip for most cargo haulers," Armin said. "Most pirates don't want to scavenge that far out from their base. No, this had to be Hegemony forces." Calida offered him a small smile. "I can see why you chose to be a private investigator," she said. "You're good at thinking things like this through."

WIPSnips August 26 - "symbol"

During a brief confrontation with her sister, Calida has to make a choice.

"Are you sure about this, Lida? You know I can't protect you if you go through with this," Anora said. "You'll be branded a renegade." Calida looked up at the side of the Eidolon, to the modified Starbird crest that served as Armin's symbol, and smiled sadly. "Then a renegade I am. But you'll still be my sister," she replied. "I'm sorry, Nora, but I've got to go. If the Baran Syndicate is behind this, then I have to follow it through."

Anora finally sits down a takes a look at something Armin and Calida had been trying to warn her about.

#darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #anorahighmoon
Anora shook her head in disbelief. She wanted to be convinced that this was a hoax, a fabrication. She wanted to believe that they'd all been mistaken. But the data stream made things painfully obvious. While the New Republic was focused on consolidating the Core and rebuilding after Thrawn's rampage, the more remote sectors in the Outer Rim were being left unchecked. Pirates were systematically targeting planet after planet, looting and terrorizing in a wave of chaos that there was little hope of stopping. "I've got to get this to General Cracken," she said quietly. Armin shook his head. "I guarantee he already knows about it, but his hands are tied. The Council is still trying to mop up around Coruscant and Bilbringi." "What's your source for that?" Anora asked, arching an eyebrow at him. "Experience," the Thyferran answered. "The New Republic won't hesitate to consolidate everything around defending Coruscant. Tactically, securing the shipyards at Bilbringi is the next logical step. Big picture, though, is that the New Republic backed itself into a corner when they took Coruscant. They have to spend significant resources to hold the world, which means everything else takes a back seat. They're blind to what's going on out here. It's a shocking parallel to what happened three centuries ago, when the Nihil were free to do what they wanted."

#QP Gunslinger
The Long Shadow at Noon
A lone gunslinger emerges from charcoal darkness
#WesternNoir #CharcoalSketch #GunslingerShadow #DarkFrontier #MoodyIllustration #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A stark black-and-white charcoal illustration depicts a gaunt gunslinger emerging from a haze of rough sketch marks and smoky shadows. The figure stands slightly angled toward the viewer, his upper body leaning forward with quiet menace. A wide-brimmed hat sits low on his head, its dark crown and sweeping brim casting a deep shadow that obscures much of his face. Beneath the brim, only one sharp eye catches the light, glinting with a focused, unsettling calm. The man’s face is elongated and hollow, rendered with jagged charcoal strokes that carve out a narrow jaw, high cheekbones, and a thin mouth set in a severe line. Heavy shading runs along the hollows of his cheeks and beneath the eye, giving his expression a haunted, skeletal quality. His neck and shoulders taper downward into a long coat that dissolves into sweeping black smudges and gestural strokes, as if the figure is partly emerging from smoke or fog. One arm reaches forward, dominating the foreground. In his hand he grips a revolver aimed directly outward toward the viewer. The barrel of the gun extends from the darkness with stark clarity, drawn with bold lines and subtle highlights that suggest worn metal. The revolver becomes the central focal point of the composition, positioned slightly off center and angled outward as if frozen at the tense moment before a shot.
