Training and Patrolling

Static buzz preluded the flickering of an holo-image coming to life. As the image stabilizes and the buzzing ceases to exist, the image becomes more clear, depicting a humanoid figure with a youthful yet disciplined look about them, combed hair, trimmed beard and a neatly ironed casual uniform, the signs of a pure imperial soldier. They proceeded to assume a strict stance, hands locked behind the small of their back before they faced directly into the recorder and began speaking with a tone that was equally strict and stiff without leaning towards hostileness nor aggressiveness.



"It is now Day 3 and not much has occurred worth of notice until today. Training, patrolling until my daily patrol was halted by a certain Sith Apprentice, a Chiss, who called me over. We exchanged some petty talk where he asked about my interests and whether or not I held a family of my own, before sharing he too comes from a Military Tradition as most of his race do. Our chat was then interrupted by an approaching Acolyte which shares Pureblood blood as well in his veins, from what he claimed.

It was in this moment that the Apprentice decided to include me in some blaster-bolt deflecting training, instructing me to shoot at the two of them whist arming the Acolyte with a spare lightsaber of his, a curious choice. Nonetheless I proceeded to take advantage of the situation to train further with my aim whilst using all three fire-modes. They both fared well, with the Apprentice by far surpassing the Acolyte who in the last bolt-wave was caught by a stun round and sent unconscious before a stim brought him back on his feet. Fruitful to some degree, far better than shooting targets though perhaps next time, as the Apprentice invited me for future further training, I shall ask them to consider moving as well to prove a tougher training for me as well.

I also had a little encounter with an Acolyte, the daughter of Lord Kalkoran. A curious figure that seemed to question my intellect perhaps, judging me unable to potentially understand the reasoning behind her choice to meditate nearby the Durmillion War Memorial as it involved the Force. I shall attempt to continue the conversation we were engaging into, perhaps she could be the one worthy of sponsorship, given her ties as well.

This aside, there was also a history lesson within the Estate's Archives held by the Lorekeeper himself, subject 'The Great Hyperspace War'. Big, ancient names were mentioned and discussed, though what mostly caught my interest was hearing the Horuset name finding its roots this far back. Truly an ancient and powerful House as I have heard, it would seem. Nonetheless, I had to cut the lesson short for I found it somewhat out of my element and instead returned to patrolling.

The rest of the shift was uneventful so for today it shall be all. Darrel out."

With that, the holo-image would flicker and buzz before finally dying out.
