Let it Snow: Orange Start

[voidtreckermods]

The moment Red team jumps the voice speaks again. “Orange team to doors. Void shift imminent. Ten, nine, eight, seven...” There is a lurch and the train seems to tumble. The windows flash with the void for a second before they are once again surrounded by snow.

The train steadies, the doors open, the train is in mid-air and one step away from the train doors there is an ice platform. Crossing is not too hard, though a bit daunting. They are very high up and the ice is inherently slippy.

The platform is not large enough for them all and so the only natural way is for them to begin entering the labyrinth to allow everyone off the train. The moment the last person leaves the train it blinks away and the moment everyone has entered the labyrinth there is a grinding sound and the ice behind them closes.

For good or ill they have entered. Their goal is clear, a strange machine suspended in the centre of the maze but getting there will be a challenge. Though it looks like they should be able to merely walk towards it walls of ice stand in their way. The only way to stop any of this is to get through the labyrinth.

He nods. "Then you have much valuable experience to offer. You have seen other planets and given aid to them. And you have been the chief executive of a planetary government, even if only for a short time. And you understand that a ruler has reason to be grateful to the people."

"It has gone a long way to help me in my career." The experience that she had as a child had aided her over the years, and her parents had always instilled a sense of duty in her. "If only all were the same, then the galaxy might be slightly better off."

Good place to end?

He smiles. "I wish there were some way for all who govern to realize what you know. All galaxies would be better off, I suspect."

He glances over his shoulder at the entrance to the labyrinth. "And speaking of restlessness, perhaps we should enter the maze, and see if we can locate that machine?"

And end!

She can only nod. It is a galaxy that she would like she see, but Padmé is under no illusions. Such things take time, and she also knows that they do not late forever. Even the history of her own planet has had its stumbling points.

She does follow his gaze, taking in the maze, before turning back to him. "Yes. That likely is for the best, no? Best of luck."

Before taking a breath and heading towards the entrance.
