Bounty

Entry by Miya, Chief Medic of the Liberty II


I suppose it was to be expected.


A bounty has been put on us.  Jared and myself.  For the rescue we did - the girls from the brothel. 


One million credits for Jared.  Two million credits for me.


*long pause*  I'm scared.  I hate the fact that I'm scared, but I can't help it.  I've never had a price on my head before.  I know Jared's had a price on him forever.  He's used to it.


I'm not.


Bail is worried, too.  


Bail says that he will do what he can to solve this.  If anyone can help, he can.  I know he can.


I just have to wait and let him do what he needs to do.

Traitor

Entry by Miya


We found out who our traitor was - it was none other than Talon, one of our own security men.  


We have apparently attracted the attention of the Empire.  Our very first mission drew their attention to us.  Talon was hired by the Empire to help "persuade" Jared to work for them. 


Talon was behind the explosion in Engineering, and was going to abduct me so that Jared would negotiate with the Empire.....plus who knows what else he had planned?  *shudders*


Jared interrogated Talon, torturing him to get the information he wanted.  Bail protested, but Jared had Bail taken away before he could interfere.


Then, as Jared put it, Talon met with "an unfortunate airlock incident."


Talon is dead.....and we don't have to fear him anymore.


But Bail is struggling with what happened, and how he should have stopped Jared from torturing and killing Talon.

An Impulsive Act Leads to a Rescue

Entry by Miya, Chief Medical Officer of the Liberty II


We had a mission to do.  Simple and straightforward - go in, find a young teen girl that had been captured and forced to work in a brothel on Nar Shaddaa, and get her out. 


I was sent in undercover.   The plan was to find the girl, get outside and then comm Jared and Talon to come get us.  I'd watched holos of her to make sure I'd recognize her.  I went in and found her fairly quickly.  She'd been hurt - some beatings, maybe roughed up by clients, too - but she was alive, and she was able to walk.  We started to leave.


But then....I saw all of the other girls.  Twenty or so....all so young.....all hurting in one way or another.....my heart went out to them.  I couldn't just save one and leave the rest to suffer. 


I commed Jared, speaking in Chinese in case I was overheard.  (He has a Universal Translator, of course.)  I told him I was bringing more girls, and to be ready.


I started quietly telling the girls, one by one, that I was here to help them.  That we were going to escape.  To stay close to me.


Things went fine for a while, but....one girl panicked.  She looked like she had just had a harsh beating - fresh facial injuries, bloodied, sobbing - and when I told her why I was there, she panicked.  She was so afraid of being caught that she started screaming, saying no.  


I tried to calm her, but the guards overheard.  I shouted for the girls to run, and ran myself.


I was caught by one of the guards - beaten, thrown to the ground and viciously kicked repeatedly.  Suffered a concussion, broken ribs, punctured lung.  But I at least got Jared on the comm right before.  


He and Talon burst in, phasers shooting.  They took out the guards and helped me and the girls to the shuttle.  We got back to the ship in one piece.


Now we are in the process of treating the girls' injuries and...health issues, plus getting the girls back home.  Bail and Leia are helping us.  


Bail.....*sighs*  Jared commed Bail and told him I was hurt.  Bail saw me....battered.  It breaks my heart to think of what he went through, seeing me like that.  


Still....we both have dangerous jobs....we both take risks....


We'll just have to deal with the repercussions.

Possible Sabotage

Entry by Miya, Chief Medical Officer of the Liberty II


There was an explosion in Engineering today.  Five crewmen were injured, several of them seriously.


The injuries are upsetting.  The fact that this may not have been an accident is even more so.  There are whispers that this is sabotage.


We've added several new crewmen lately, but to be honest, the whole crew is new.  We've only been on board for a few weeks.  The only one I trust - ironically enough - is Jared.  We may fight like two cats in a sack, but I trust him.


We're investigating the cause.  "We" meaning Jared and the crew.  I'm a doctor, not a CSI. 


Bail Organa has offered his ship as a place to evacuate, should the situation call for it.  I hope it doesn't come to that, but if it is necessary, I'm glad it's available.


Speaking of Bail, he is quickly becoming a very important part of my life.  He is a fascinating man, an amazing man.  Smart, charming, witty, *blushes* handsome and sexy.  We spend most of our time off together, either on his ship or mine.  The time we share is....magical.


I am quickly falling for him.  More than I can even admit to myself, I think.  Certainly more than I can tell him.  It's too soon.  


He is a Senator, a man of great importance.  To me, though, he's just Bail.  Someone I can be myself around.  Someone who doesn't think of me as "Dr. Xiao" or as the Chief Medic.  I can just be "Miya" with him.  That's one of the reasons we started spending time together - we can both be ourselves around each other.


He makes me laugh.  He makes me feel so cared for.  So....beautiful.


Perhaps soon I can tell him exactly how fond I am of him.  More than just fond of him, actually.

First Mission

Entry by Jared, Captain of the Liberty II


Our first mission went alright, I guess.  We got the shipment of bacta to the Rebels.  Minimal damage to the ship, and only minor injuries among the crew.  


Falcon, Miya and I worked well together.  We read each other's signals well.  Moved quickly.  


I already have the next mission lined up.


Things are off to a good start.

New Ship, New Start....but not as I'd hoped.

Entry by Jared, Captain of the Liberty II


My own ship.


I'd dreamed of it for a long time, and now I finally have one.  It's nearly an exact replica of the old Liberty, but it's in much better shape and has some upgrades.  


I had hoped that Shara would be with me, but she has her obligation to NavKor.  


Now to hire a crew...
