#Savik

[pkrosche]

So while The Motion Picture movie poster is the full pride flag, The Search for Spock movie poster is the bisexual pride flag turned on its side.

This pleases me.

[bardicious]

The only canon I don't want SNW to be good at is how Jim and Spock die. 🥺 Please, Paramount? Just a little canon rewrite? Please? 😭

[table-top-romulan-playing-games]

Rewatching The Search For Spock has made me remember how Star Trek introduced us to the trope of "If I Don't Fuck, I Die" with Pon Farr, and how after Amok Time, not a single other mention of Pon Farr has been remotely Not Gross...

🛡️ 🎵🤲🧸 for csilla!!

🛡️: How does their class inform their characterization? How does their personality match or clash with the stereotype for that class?

Being a Circle of Stars druid, I feel like the subclass itself already kind of subverts the druid stereotype of being very in tune with nature in an earthly sense. Most people probably wouldn't clock Csilla as a druid just by looking at her; she looks more like a wizard, wearing big glasses, robes, and carrying books. 😆 But her subclass informs her backstory of being nomadic and traveling from place to place, guided by the stars "telling" her and her mom where people needed help the most. Csilla also does fit the hermit-esque social outcast stereotype of druids, being intensely shy and anxious until she's in her element (reading/mapping the stars or saving people in dangerous situations).

🎵: Are they any good at singing? What situations do/would they sing in? Would they sing in the shower?

I do think Csilla would be all right at singing, even though she was never formally trained. If she's ever traveling completely alone she'll sing to keep herself company. I could also see her singing in the shower lol

🤲: Do they have any deep desires that they don't talk about and/or don't even realize they have? Do these desires conflict with their main goal at all?

I think Csilla is (honestly not-so-deep down) desperate for not just friends but a community to call her own, aka a true home. She doesn't realize it herself because she's never seen anything wrong with the way she was raised, especially since she can't imagine criticizing her mother.

With her main goal being to help those the stars tell her need help, it has the possibility to stand in the way of that but doesn't necessarily have to. The idea of committing to calling a single place "home" is scary to Csilla mostly because she feels it would prevent her from traveling and doing her nomadic hero thing. Which of course isn't true, and she just needs to reconcile that.

🧸: What was their favorite childhood toy and why?

While her mother did the best she could and Csilla loves her very much, Csilla didn't have any friends her age when growing up thanks to constantly traveling. Thus, she got very attached to a doll who became somewhat of an imaginary friend for her. The doll looked like an elf and Csilla named her Gigi (she wouldn't be able to say why she chose that name, just the whims of a young child).

Star Trek II: Wrath Of Khan thoughts:

For this post if I could simply embed the entire movie and just write the word, ‘queer’ I would. Unfortunately you are all stuck with this, happy pride month!

Spoilers for the entire movie will be featured in this post

Going forth:

- I know what the kobayashi maru is so I know they’re not in danger but that’s some good acting Bones

- “‘Physician heal thyself.’” “Is that all you’ve got to say? What about my performance?” “I’m not a drama critic.” Thinking about this pose thinking about this pose thinking about thi-

- “Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor.” He’s feeling something and projecting

- “Aren’t you dead?” That’s certainly a way to greet your husband

- They’re so cute. And sad. And cute.

- tiny guys hehe. The boots got sluttier somehow

- McCoy got him glasses cause he can’t read the book without it and bring up that post that’s saying how Spock and McCoy’s gifts go together but McCoy got the logical thing and Spock got the emotional one

- Don’t quote me on this but the things I would do to that man… I wouldn’t.. but holy shit that outfit is killing me.

- hi checkov

- Carol Marcus? Doesn’t she have Kirk’s-? okay then I won’t spoil that just yet

- Creature in a jar moving under the sand

- BOTANY BAY????? Oh wait a sec I should’ve seen that coming it’s called wrath of khan

- Did they kill Chekov?

- hello Khan. That’s a very long and dramatic reveal he’s kinda hot tho

- Thinking about genetic engineering and augmentation and how they’re illegal but star trek presents cases where people now exist and it’s not the fault of the person that they are what they are so they have to question if an entire person should be illegal because of the actions of others… anyway I don’t wanna get deep into this right now, back to the movie

- Are they going to kill Chekov? (edit: not sure why I’m so fixated on thinking they’re gonna)

- WOW THAT IS CERTAINLY A SWEAT DROP

- brain worms… this sounds recently familiar

- HES READING HIS BOOK WITH THE GLASSES THEY DIDNT NEED TO SHOW HIM DOING THAT BUT THEY DID AND ITS ADORABLE OMG

- The conversation between Savik and Spock is so precious. And it’s in Vulcan. And she says “He’s more human than I expected” and it’s like that’s her commenting on Spock’s husband

- Kirk does not want to do this inspection

- McCoy does a little bounce

- “For everything there is a first time. Wouldn’t you agree, admiral” “mmhhmm” “Would you like a tranquilizer?” *Kirk shakes his head*

- wowah! Cool ship!

- uh oh. Chekov on the monitor with the brain worm!

- khan is kinda- yeahh

- I LOVE SAAVIK! RAHHH! Also apparently Saavik is canonically half Vulcan half Romulan according to the trivia

- I like how Bones is just there :)

- Putting Spock in black… they knew what they were doing

- They’re husbands your honour. Spock knows Kirk wants to take command and isn’t to proud to get in the way of making his wife happy

- “You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours.” Kissing would have been less romantic

- George Takei’s voice is majestic

- “He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him. I’ll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares maelstrom and round perdition’s flames before I give him up.” Not obsessive at all.. nope this is something completely and totally normal to say about your nemesis

- “Uhura, have Doctor McCoy join us (Kirk and Spock) in my quarters.” Hmmmmm.. gotta inform the whole polycule about the shady government experiment

- lmao BOTH Spock and McCoy know who Carol Marcus is

- oh so terraforming… NEVERMIND REALLY FAST TERRAFORMING

- “Really, Dr. McCoy, you must learn to govern your passions. They will be your undoing.” Flirting, gentlemen?

- How and why does Starfleet continually put Spock and McCoy together? Like this alert would be sent out 24/7

- Spock and his awesome daughter Saavik

- falling

- Kirk with the breast flap down

- such a good moment… such a great moment (sorry for shitty photos)

- Kirk has to put on his little glasses <3

- Kirk does NOT fuck around

- Poor Scotty. He’s got so much emotion about his dead crew mate and the doctor apologizing to him 🥺🥺🥺

- Saavik making up rules to make sure the admiral is safe. Love her.

- “Jim, be careful.” “We will.” MCCOY IS SO BITTER. Like ‘no wishes of luck for me, Spock? Fuck you!’

- The collar on that uniform is silly

- hehe McCoy got scared by a rat. OH HE ALSO GOT SCARED BY A DEAD BODY

- Kirk’s little disappointed “oh my god” as he finds Chekov in the cupboard

- “Suppose they went nowhere.” “Then this’ll be your big chance to get away from it all.” McCoy’s not leaving Kirk, but he still looks like he wants to strangle him sometimes

- Kirk not afraid to punch a bitch

- WAIT THATS KIRKS SON?!? Isn’t it?? I thought David was Carol’s brother. But nope!

- aww dammnit I knew they were still mind controlled :/

- Saavik saving David. Y’know it would be pretty cool if there was something about Saavik, David, and Johanna meeting and maybe serving on a ship of their own.. idk just thoughts.

- ewwww brain worm.

- OH THE ECHOING “KHANNN”

- mmmm Kirk without the jacket. The white turtleneck with sleeves… also McCoy and Saavik are slaying with their turquoise and orange turtlenecks

- “Food the first order of survival.” I bet the fanfic writers had a field day with this one (cause cause it’s a reference to Tarsus IV)

- Imagine this: you’re stuck underground with your husband, your other husbands adopted daughter, your ex, her son (who’s also your son), and your old Russian navigator who’s unconscious and tried to kill you while being mind controlled by a worm which came out of his ear

- David’s got Kirk’s curls <333

- Kirk has a thing for people who look good in blue. Change my damn mind.

- “I don’t believe in a no win scenario.” He immediately calls Spock afterwards cause he’ll never lose with his husbands around

- “You lied.” “I exaggerated.” Yep, he IS that bitch

- Saavik is learning so much from them

- They still just.. let anyone onto the bridge. Like David is just there now

- oh no Scotty! Well McCoy was miraculously there to catch him

- CHEKOV BACK ON THE BRIDGE!

- Once again. Kirk does not fuck around! He just killed those guys

- “To the last I will grapple with thee.” WOW. Okay. Well.

- Khan’s about to terraform this bitch

- McCoy stopping Spock from going into the chamber..

- “You’re not going in there!” “Perhaps you’re right. What is Mr. Scott’s condition?” SIKE BITCH SPOCK JUST FUCKING NERVE PINCHED HIM. McCoy you should’ve been tipped off by the fact he 1. Said you were right and 2. Gave up trying to self sacrifice so easily

- wait why’d Spock connect to McCoy’s psi points and say remember? Remember what?

- I like there’s just a sign that flashes the word ‘radiation’ in red letters

- McCoy and Scotty BEGGING Spock not to do this. Break my fucking heart why don’t you?

- Kirk’s little run to the engine room <3

- I know he’s dying but those boots are so slutty

- Solely watching Kirk’s face is already like watching 10 puppies get killed

- “Don’t grieve, admiral.” Has me crying already. Your closest and longest friend is watching your slow descent into death and you ask him not to grieve you. You want him to know your death meant something. It meant he’d be safe and that is nothing to grieve. I’m going to be sick

- don’t touch me I’m thinking about this

- SAAVIK IS CRYING OMG GIRL ME TOO

- Kirk’s voice breaking.. god. Shatter my fucking heart why don’t you?

- if they play bagpipes at my funeral I’m rising from the dead (violins would be nice though)

- NOO HIS CUTE LITTLE GLASSES BROKE

- “They’re just words.” “But good words. That’s where ideas begin. Maybe you should listen to them.” POP OFF DAVID ! Good line

- SON REVEAL! NOT CLICKBAIT

- There’s 8 minutes left of this. Did they leave this one with Spock dead?

- “He’s really not dead, as long as we remember him.” Good words McCoy. But perhaps maybe you might have some.. assistance remembering him?

- got distracted and drew Kirk but I love the last little Spock narration. Really brave to end a WHOLE MOVIE with one of the best most well known characters being dead

Well that movie did have its pros and… khans

…

See you next time

Masterpost

[fanhoe]

I’ve been reading Sakavic as Savik

I’ve been saying Nora Savik

Savik…

[darknessx08]

The Specter Context: Michael Savik is a 25-year-old Multi-billionaire owning a Company using machines that can create a synthetic material by just being based on the user's thought. He is engaged to a woman named Lisa and is liked and disliked in his company. This is all about to change in this story.

Prologue: A Disengagement Ring

It was a rainy but, peaceful Friday night. Michael Savik was about to leave Biosmith Industries and was excited to think about how marrying the woman he loved was just 2 weeks away. This would unfortunately change after he left.

Jim: Hey Mike, do you want those Biodroids tested by next week or the week after?

Michael: It doesn’t matter. Those will take time so I'm not worried about when they are finished.

Jim: Sounds good! Also, what’s up with the ring?

Michael: Oh, has nobody told you?

Jim: Tell me what?

Michael: Lisa and I got engaged.

Jim: That’s awesome man! When’s the wedding?

Michael: It's in a few weeks. It’s funny you bring it up cause we were planning on sending the invitations out this week.

Jim: I’ll be sure to come!

They walked to their cars as they continued to discuss.

Michael: Sounds great. I’ll make sure to send yours out first!

Jim: Alright well have a good weekend.

Michael drove home with a happiness he had never felt before. He arrived around 11:30 to see all the lights still on in his house. He was confused because his Fiancee usually goes to sleep an hour earlier. He knocked on the door but, there was not an answer.

Michael: Lisa?

Without an answer, he used the key under the rug to open the door. He was shocked to find his Fiancee half naked and another man hiding under sheets.

Michael: Who the heck is this?!

Lisa: Michael! It’s not what it looks like!

Michael: What do you mean it’s not who it looks like? Who even is he and why is he in my house?!

Lisa: He’s a friend. He stopped by town recently and I just wanted to say hi.

Michael: So you say hello by sleeping with the guy?!

The man stood up with a 6’4 stature against Michael’s 5’11

Stranger: Dude relax. We were just having a nice conversation.

Michael: Get out now!

Lisa: Michael quit overreacting!

Stranger: Hey man, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.

Michael grabbed a glass off the counter and smashed it on the guy's head.

Lisa: What are you doing?

Michael: Leave. And take him with you. I never want to see you again.

Lisa got dressed and helped the man to her car. Michael watched them drive away in disbelief as the woman he loved had cheated on him and hid this act of selfishness behind her fiance's back the entire time.

Chapter 1: Wisdom of the Old

Shortly after this disheartening incident, Michael decided it would be best for him to start working again to ease his mind about the situation. Before this, he decided to stop by his parents' house to say hello. He stepped into his parent's home happy to see them but, the look of dismay was still plain on his face.

Michael: How are y’all doing?

Mom: We are doing great honey. You really do need to visit more.

Michael: Heh, I suppose I do.

Dad: Who cares! Let the boy do whatever he wants! You look tired, did you and Lisa have a couple of premarital drinks last night?

Michael: No, I came to talk to y'all about her.

Mom: Are you trying to get help with getting a venue? If that's the case I know someone who can---

Michael: Mom, no I don’t need your help.

Dad: Oh c’mon your mother has been wanting to help since the wedding was announced!

Michael: Trust me I would but, some things have happened and I need your advice.

Dad: Like with what, how to dance cause during your mother and I’s wedding---

Michael: Dad there is no wedding!

A silence filled the room

Dad: Mike, what are you talking about?

Michael: I got home last night and Lisa was in bed with another guy, the reason I look like this is because I have been up all night wondering what went wrong! Are you happy now?

His parents turned to him with the utmost shock on their faces.

Dad: Sit down. It’s time I told you about my High School life.

Michael: How does that relate at all to this? The woman I loved just betrayed me and you are trying to tell me this is like High School for you?

Dad: Because it is!

Michael: How?

Dad: For 3 years of High School I dated someone who I thought was the perfect woman. Good personality, looked good, and best of all, she was the only person who ever cared for me! That all came crashing down my Senior year. I remember getting back from fishing one night with your Uncle to find her making out with a guy in my living room. I, like you are now, was heartbroken. It took me a while to get over but, you wanna know the one thing I learned? It's better that happened because I wouldn’t have wanted to marry somebody who could do that at any time. I almost thanked her for doing it because it helped me see the value of people and how I would never want to betray someone that harshly. With that in mind, that is how I have been married to your mother for so many years. Does that help?

Michael stood up and let out a sigh of relief

Michael: I guess you're right. I just don’t understand because we had rarely argued about anything so why would she even consider this?

Dad: People want more than they can get. Sometimes way too much which will always leave them with less than before.

Michael: I see. Thanks for the advice.

Dad: No problem man. Also, if you want to get back at her, start working harder than you ever have, and eventually success will take root and she will even try to get you back.

Michael: Guess I better start working then.

Chapter 2 The work of a thousand men

Michael decided to drive to work right after this with one thought on his mind. The Biodroids.

He arrived at the lab and called Jim to talk and explain what happened.

Jim: Mike, I'm so sorry. You seemed so happy when you left yesterday.

Michael: I was. But on the other hand, I am happy I'm not marrying someone willing to do that at any time.

Jim: Yeah, I guess that's true. Anyway, how come you wanted to see me?

Michael: I think it’s time to put the Biodroids to use.

Jim: Sounds good. We can do the tests in an hour.

The hour passed and they were starting the first phase of testing.

Michael: You said that the material is almost like it's alive. How so?

Jim: We found the material in South America. We say it’s alive since it can create random objects but will be different around different temperatures, materials, and people. The ship it was on could barely hold it for long and long-term exposure has unknown effects. The goal is to make machines capable of harnessing the full power of the material and for us to use it to create any item we want. It’s unstable under certain conditions, but if we can focus it on a certain data board, it can regenerate and hopefully, we can even harness it!

Michael: It better work then.

Jim: Oh trust me, the data scientists have run through every variable and this is the closest to perfect we have.

Michael: Like I said. It better work.

Jim: Alright moody. Test beginning in 3-2-1

The test went underway and Michael and Jim were watching behind bulletproof glass, despite this. The machine started going faster and faster which was not predicted.

Michael: Uh is it supposed to do that?

Jim: It’s probably because it's getting hot. That’s normal.

Jim lowered the temperature of the room.

Jim: Alright we are going to focus on the machines.

Michael: How do you plan on having the machines harness the material?

Jim: Those lasers will scatter the material and hopefully it leaches onto the actual droids.

Michael: Very well

Jim: Focusing in 3-2-1

The lasers focused on the material but the temperature simply rose.

Computer: System Critical. Please lower the temperature.

Michael: Jim this isn’t normal. Turn it down.

Jim: I'm trying! I can’t cool it.

Computer: System failure imminent. Please shut down the system.

Jim: I'm going in

Michael: Are you crazy! Thats suicide!

Jim: I can’t shut it down out here. I have to disable them manually!

Michael: Are you sure?

Jim nodded.

Michael: Fine. Please don’t die man.

Jim: I’ll try.

Michael told the facility to evacuate while Jim was busy disabling the lasers.

Michael ran back to see if he was ok but was only greeted with an explosion sending him flying into the wall and getting knocked out in the process.

Chapter 3: Potential Energy

Scientist: Someone get a medic!

Strangers: Is he ok?

Michael was barely awake but heard that chatter around him as he faded in and out of consciousness.

Mom: Michael, Michael, Michael wake up!

Michael: I hear ya, I hear ya.

Mom: What happened?

Michael: We were experimenting with new tech and it went haywire. Sorry for scaring you.

Dad: We are just happy you are safe.

Mom: You need to stay away from there for a while ok?

Michael: I can’t we have been working on this for weeks.

Dad: When I said break a leg I didn’t think you would actually break one.

Michael: Wait my leg’s broken?

Dad: How can you not tell?

Michael moved his leg back and forth but still felt no pain.

Michael: Did the nurse give me painkillers?

Dad: No?

Michael: I'm telling you it’s fine. I could probably stand just on that one if I wanted.

The nurse arrived shortly after.

Nurse: Well we got your X-ray back and I have never seen anything like this before.

Michael: What do you mean?

Nurse: Every bone in your body is completely healed now. Do you feel any pain?

Michael: I feel great.

Nurse: If that’s the case then you are free to go.

Mom: Wait. Why is his IV blue?

Nurse: The blood is not getting oxygen. Mr Savik I need you to follow me now. Both of your parents should stay here.

Michael: Not until I figure out why that is blue.

Nurse: That’s what we are going to figure out.

Michael: OK.

They walked down to the main doctor with worry visible in his eyes.

Michael: I need to get out of here.

Nurse: What was that?

Michael: Nothing.

Nurse: Wait here. The doctor should be here soon.

As soon as she left, Michael ran as fast as he could out of the hospital and into the forest.

Michael: Hey I need an Uber now!

Employee: Boss! Are you ok?

Michael: I'm fine! I need a car!

As he said this, he felt a surge of energy that needed to be released. He stretched his arm out and miraculously, he made a car.

Michael: What is happening to me? How did I?

Employee: I’ll be there soon.

Michael: Actually, take the day off. I just found a ride of my own. Well, Jim. Looks like those human trials are beginning sooner than expected.

Chapter 4: The Cost of Pride

The context for how the material works: The user will be able to think of different types of matter that will be generated along with being able to use plasma beams.

As he drove home, Michael was less concerned about his health and what else the material could be used for. This curiosity turned to horror as he turned on the TV

News Anchor: Ladies and gentlemen we come to you tonight after our very own Biosmith Industries had an explosion that injured many workers. One of which was Michael Savik whose location has been unknown since his disappearance earlier this evening.

Michael: More people are affected. Does that mean Jim is alive?

News Anchor: Everyone please stay off the streets. 3 robots are killing everyone they see. The police are on their way so please leave the area!

Michael rushed to his phone to try and call Jim

Michael: Pick up, pick up!

Jim: Mike are you seeing this?

Michael: You're alive!

Jim: Somehow. Again are you watching the news right now?

Michael: Yeah. How are the droids being controlled?

Jim: Remember when I told you the material was alive?

Michael: Yeah?

Jim: Turns out the metal has a negative effect.

Michael: That makes no sense!

Jim: And you think three conscious droids do?

Michael: Well how do we stop them?

Jim: Were you in the hospital by any chance?

Michael: Yeah, my drip was blue.

Jim: The material must have gotten into your blood. Did anything else happen?

Michael: All my bones are healed and I made a car!

Jim: Perfect! Looks like we don’t need to test on rats now.

Michael: That doesn’t matter! What is happening to me?

Jim: You have powers. Correction. We have powers. Look in your backyard.

Michael went outside to see Jim jumping down from the sky and his skin illuminated with trails of smoke following.

Michael: What the?

Jim: You get used to it. Just think what you need and your body will do the rest.

Michael started flying as well.

Michael: So we just have to think and we can do it.

Jim: Pretty much.

Michael: Well let's go get the droids back.

Jim: Put a mask on. If the public knows who we are then we are going to be arrested.

Michael: Fine.

As they did this they went over to the droids and prepared to take them apart.

They flew in and saved the last civilians but ended up getting hit by the droids. Michael imagined different items but few left even a dent in the droids. During this, Jim was thrown into a wall and was about to be stabbed.

Michael: No!

Michael took out his hands and felt a surge of energy go through his body and blew the head off the droid.

Jim: How did you do that?

Michael: Why are you asking me?

With this new ability, they made short work of the other 2 droids and returned to the lab. Jim reassembled the droids but kept them off.

Jim: Plasma rays. And I thought I knew everything about how to use those powers!

Michael: I’m full of surprises.

Jim: You should stay here and we can run some more tests.

Michael: Do you not remember what happened the last time we did a test?

Jim: Ha. I do suppose we could take the night off. Besides we just saved the city.

Michael: That sounds like a good day. Looks like my Dad was right about getting back at her.

Jim: What do you mean?

Michael: My dad told me the best way to get revenge was to work as hard as possible then once you reap all the benefits, you get to say no to them once they come crawling back.

Jim: So the only reason you wanted to do this project was to get revenge on Lisa?

Michael: Sweet indeed!

Jim: I'm sorry but you mean to tell me that I nearly died so that you could simply brag to your ex about how happy you are!

Michael: Man you are taking it too far! I never wanted you to do that!

Jim: What amazes me is that you said you worked hard when I am the one who did all of this. I'm the one who conducted the experiment, I am the one who nearly died for your fantasy, and I am the one who even taught you how to use the powers!

Michael: Man I'm sorry. I’ll make sure you get all the money from this.

Jim: I would agree if it weren’t for one thing. If this becomes a revolutionary invention then you are the one the world remembers while I’m just another step on your pedestal!

Michael: Now you are just being crazy.

Michael tried to shake his hand but Jim slapped it away.

Jim: Biodroid, on.

The Biodroids awoke grabbing Mike and throwing him in a containment cell.

Michael: Jim, you can’t do this!

Jim: Who says I can’t? I sabotaged the invention on purpose, I know how to use every single ounce of that material, Heck if you cared enough then you would know that I'm the one who even found it! I knew you would try to get credit and this is what you deserve! Droids, lock the cell, and make sure he doesn’t get out. Jim proceeded to walk away and make a press conference.

Michael: Jim please, Jim, Jim!

Chapter 5: Hell on Earth

One night passed Mike was left confused as he heard a in the other room.

Jim: Good afternoon everyone. I'm sure you are aware of the incident that took place yesterday. I’m also aware of how our Biodroids went loose onto the city. To the families of those who lost their lives, I understand if you have bitterness towards us and we will do our best to help you all recover from this unfortunate event. One of the ones lost was our very own Michael Savik.

Michael screamed in his cell

Michael: Lies!

Jim: He loved this company very much and we will do our best to improve upon what he built. From now on I Jim Gallagher will guide this company into a bright future. Any questions?

Reporter: You mentioned the 3 droids loose on the streets but what about the 2 people that stopped them?

Jim: Ah yes! The explosion yesterday was based on an experiment that was meant to channel the droids. The material gave them a conscience and the blast must have triggered a hostility. The other 2 you saw were what we call the Specter Protocol. We had control of those. Thank you for your time.

Michael: I have to get out!

He felt around trying to find a way to escape.

Michael: Glass, I can break this.

He tried to use a sledgehammer but to no avail.

Michael: C’mon!

Droid: Quit it!

Michael: What did Jim say about the powers?

He then tried to fly through the glass but broke his arm.

Michael: Ah!

Droid: Last warning! Quit it!

Michael then felt a surge of energy in his body as he stood. With one last option, he was finally able to blast through the glass and the droids. He ran out of the building and went to his house.

When he turned down his street, he saw 5 cop cars outside. He couldn’t go to his house and didn’t want to worry his parents. He realized there was only one way to confront Jim. Face-to-face for one final time. He managed to hack the broadcast systems to relay a message to everyone.

Michael: To everyone who is listening in, this is Michael Savik. I am alive and I need your help. My company has been hijacked and Jim Gallagher tried to kill me. When the experiment happened what “killed me” gave me and everyone in that area of the building powers. Even Jim. We were the ones who destroyed the droids. Specters as he calls them. I need everyone affected to stay away. Jim is too powerful and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Jim if you are listening, meet me at the farmland. You are the monster I created so I will stop you.

Chapter 6: War of Many Swords

Michael went to the farmland and waited for him. All of a sudden, something rushed down to the ground like a missile. Jim arose with red energy emitting from him.

Michael: What happened to you?

Jim: You know I was almost impressed you managed to use your power. Or wait. Did I teach you or did you learn how to use your brain for once?

Michael: Jim. I am sorry. I never wanted you to risk your life for me.

Jim: That is what a friend does. You know I always wanted to become the head of the company but I never imagined it would be this perfect.

Michael: We can still turn back. Whatever you want I will give it to you. I will even step down if that’s really what you want!

Jim: It’s like you said. I'm the monster you created.

So go ahead and stop me.

Jim flew at Mike sending them both into the sky. They went back and forth trying to think of different ways to hit the other. As they fought in the clouds, they eventually came across the city. Jim managed to get a hit that sent Michael flying down to the ground. Once on the ground, Jim went for the killing blow but Michael put up a shield still not wanting to injure his friend.

Jim: For someone about to die, you are persistent!

Michael: Jim. Please.

Jim: If you cared that much about me then let me kill you!

Michael stretched out his hands waiting for the killing blow. Just before this, a blast came through throwing Jim into a building. It was the other Specters. They came rushing in and held Jim down as Michael arose.

Specter: Finish him off!

Michael: I can’t.

Specter: What do you mean you can’t?

Michael: He is beaten. Let him up.

Jim: Why do you spare me?

Michael: You wanted too much and ended with less than before. If I killed you then it would mean nothing.

Jim: Sigh Just let me up.

Jim stood up with shock on his face.

Michael: I know you can’t forgive me. But we can make things better.

Michael stuck out his hand in front of him. They shook hands.

Jim: I forgive you.

Jim then created a knife in Michael's hand forcing it into his neck.

Michael: No!

Jim collapsed with blood spilling out.

Epilogue: Cleaning Dirty Wounds

New Anchor: Here is a shocking story for you all tonight. Superpowered billionaire and murderer?

Michael Savik and Jim Gallagher went to the sky in a supernatural fight for the ages. After the accident, many people are starting to wonder: how many people have powers and what will a real-life superhero look like? Savik ended up stabbing Gallagher in the neck but witnesses are saying it was assisted suicide. Coming up next: New York mobs dead after catastrophic warehouse fire.

Michael was able to drive back to his house and was greeted by his parents.

Mom: Are you insane? You left the hospital and nearly died!

Dad: And why is everyone calling us saying you killed someone?

Michael: Slow down. Watch this, they are going to stream my press conference in a moment.

‘Good evening everyone. I am sure you are confused about the events of the past few days so let me explain. Jim Gallagher experimented on the material we found in South America. He purposefully sabotaged it so he could be the hero by staging the Biodroid attack. As he said, no amount of apologies can make up for the lives lost. He tried to take the reigns of the company and nearly killed me. For those of you calling me a murderer, ask anyone who was there and they will tell you he killed himself. And one last thing. When Jim called the people affected by the incident Specters, that comes from what means ghost. Fitting because I doubt anyone who is a Specter wants to even have those powers. Neither do I. Despite this, we still have them and we must choose to use them for good. If you are a Specter then please come to our facilities and we will help you manage them for good. And one more thing. I no longer wish to help this city simply as Michael Savik. I have a higher calling. I am the Specter and I am here to serve.’

Tagged for a combo of WIP Wednesday or Six Sentence Sunday by @pentacass. Wasn't sure what to put here so I decided to share some snippets I've written for two of my SWTOR OCs that I hope to do something more with one day!

Thorn Graves (Sith Inquisitor)

Thorn peers up at the Sith kneeling over her, struggling to ignore the pounding in her head. Her fellow slaves had cauterized the wound to her head - a deep gash from a shovel blade thrown by an irate slave driver which had taken her by surprise - but the wound has grown infected, and she hasn’t been blind to the hole being solemnly dug on the outskirts of the field all day. 

How ironic the Sith have finally caught on to the Master and the slave drivers hiding her existence when they have finally almost succeeded at killing her.

“What is your name?” the Sith asks coldly.

Thorn laughs. Born into slavery, she’s never had a name but the one she took for herself. Certainly no family name. Still, he clearly expects an answer, and she’s never missed an opportunity to rankle her masters where she can.

She thinks of the thorn bush she hid under as a child, the one that tore the Master's clothes and sliced his skin just the same as it did to her, the protection it offered still, and she thinks of the grave already dug for her and the next one sure to follow. She grins.

“Thorn Graves,”' she sneers at him.

He grunts and slams the hilt of his lightsaber into the side of her head.

Arlan Sinoss (Jedi Knight)

Arlan remembers Voss. Remembers when an ancient being offered her power to defeat the Emperor if only she gave into temptation and betrayed her allies. Remembers turning down the power, remembers trying to offer herself to it as a sacrifice instead to save a woman she barely knew.

“Death is all but certain for your Sith friend. I could save her. I need only a moment of control.”

Staring at the vision of Lana, the woman she loves, with a lightsaber swinging to cut her down, Arlan doesn’t hesitate.

“Take care of it,” she says, and it sounds like take me instead.

*

“I must say...as relieved as I am at your choice to keep the Alliance independent from the Republic...I’m a bit surprised as well. I thought when it came down to it, you would choose to rejoin the Jedi Order.” 

Their room on the Alliance ship is dark, lit only by the light from the stars and the Republic fleet ships surrounding them. Most of the crew is in the cantina, and Theron will probably be dragged back onto the ship by Torian and Shae after they finish draining the pockets of that poor soldier who opened the tab in exchange for good Corellia stories. Ordinarily, Arlan would welcome the chance to relax and enjoy herself in the Republic fleet cantina, like the old days with her crew between missions. 

Lana stands near the foot of their bed, facing her. It would be so easy to push her down onto the mattress, just a step or two before her knees would hit the edge of the bed. Before she would land on top of Lana with Lana’s hands already halfway to tangling in her hair, legs moving to wrap around her waist.

Instead Arlan stands as if rooted to the spot several feet away, a weight in her chest and her limbs. Realizing that Lana is waiting for a response, she says, “It was tempting.”

There’s a beat, where Lana watches her curiously.

“But?”

Arlan swallows. There are many reasons that come to mind: the lack of Republic support during the war with Valkorian, how little she knows about this new Chancellor, the ability to operate and defend people outside of Republic authorization - how would someone like Arcann have fared under a Republic banner? Would they have gotten the information they needed out of Savik if they had turned her over to the Republic? If Arlan had not been in complete control of Alliance fleets, would the civilians of Corellia have been sacrificed in exchange for a few ships?

But most importantly, despite the words of Chancellor Rans and her apparent willingness to give a chance to the former Imperials among the Alliance’s ranks, Arlan had wondered how those people would fare under a Republic banner. They had placed their trust in Arlan, in what she stood for, in what she fought for. They were her responsibility. Perhaps one day the Alliance would merge with the Republic - but not today.

“I have to protect my people,” Arlan says, meeting Lana’s eyes, and finally she takes a step forward. There’s still a weight in her chest, but she brings her arms up to rest her hands on Lana’s arms, just above her elbows. 

Lana’s eyes widen in surprise. “You don’t trust the Republic?”

“It’s... I want to believe the new Chancellor is genuine. It’s not that I don’t trust the Republic,” Arlan says. “And it’s not that I don’t want to help the Jedi or that I think I could do that better by turning down a position on the High Council - ”

“You turned down a position on the Jedi High Council?” 

Arlan nods. “There're so many people from the Empire who joined the Alliance, and while the Chancellor offered them Republic citizenship and clean records if they wanted it... I have to be sure they would thrive in the Republic before I ask them to follow me there.” 

Lana’s eyes move back and forth slightly as she searches Arlan’s face. She looks so close to understanding what Arlan is saying, perhaps hesitant to take that final leap. 

Arlan squeezes Lana’s arms gently. “I have to be sure you will be happy.”

Lana’s lips part in surprise. “You turned down the Jedi Order...because of me?”

Arlan presses her forehead to Lana’s. “I would do all that and more if you asked me,” she murmurs, echoing the words Lana said to her weeks ago. 

Lana kisses Arlan hard, fists her hands in the front of Arlan’s shirt and tugs Arlan against her, holding her there until Arlan's arms finally wrap around her waist. Her hands tangle in Arlan’s hair, nails scratching pleasantly at her scalp.

“I love you, Lana,” Arlan whispers, when they apart for breath.

Lana holds Arlan’s forehead against hers, staring into Arlan’s eyes. Her own nearly glow in the dark.

“I love you too. You mean more to me than I could ever say.” 

Arlan brushes her lips against Lana’s and whispers, “Then show me.” 

Lana smiles and kisses her, soft and lingering, and it warms Arlan’s chest and lifts the weight that had settled there.

why is the dark council like this

Here is a mostly (?) accurate (I hope. Feel free to correct me.) chart of the Empire's ruling body throughout the timeline of the game, or at least ones we know of. Truly insane the Empire was as functional as it was when split between the interests of 14 different Sith lords.

(Darth Soverus was, apparently, a Dark Councillor at the time we kill him. It's unconfirmed which seat it is, so I didn't put him here)

(Head-canon #1: Blinded by his disdain of Marr and Imperius' more tolerant leadership of the Empire, the Revanites were able to manipulate Darth Aruk's death shortly after Makeb. There's simply no other way Aruk wouldn't otherwise be mentioned during Shadow of Revan. It's too-perfect a target for the Revanites.)

(Head-canon #2: The Wrath briefly inherited the Sphere of M. Offense but the Council unaminously agreed to take it from him after Ziost. Oricon had eroded the Council's trust in the Emperor's power-base. And learning that the Servants had warned the Wrath before Vitiate returned eroded their trust in him. Ziost was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the Wrath went missing shortly after.)

(Head-canon #3: Vowrawn was forced into hiding after the Servants attempted the hunt him down. Which is why Lana was able to keep her head after losing the Ministry of Logistics HQ. And also why Vowrawn didn't claim the throne.)

(Head-canon #4: Due to the lack of Sith able to challenge her, Acina was able to balance her time as Empress and head of Scientific Advancement. When Vowrawn and Imperius returned (The only Sith with stronger claims to the throne than her.) she had to refocus on her role as Empress, and paid less attention to the sphere going forward. Acina remains the unofficial head of that sphere, but isn't attentive. I don't see any other way Acina would tolerate Savik and especially Malora in those roles.)

[queen-scribbles]

I started Kenna in Onslaught bc why not, and was delighted to find that, since she did the Corellia planet questline, she had slightly different dialogue with Savik. :D

Just thought that was neat.

[marz-barzz]

Tell us about your primarch oc! They look super cool!

~🪲

JFYGJFMHJHRSFHNRFG FOR REALSIES??????

SO THEY'RE INSPIRED BY FEUDAL JAPAN (not as heavily inspired as Jaghatai was with the Mongolians) but I love him so much and I think asian culture is kinda cool and I wanted to do something based on that (and not white scars as much as I love them)

ANYWAY YAP TIME

--------

XXI legion

Pre-heresy; the shrouded guard, soon after falling to chaos they changed their name to the festering angels; post-heresy.

Commonly using Guerrilla tactics and stealth in forested planets

Primarch: Savik; Lord of Fauna, ancient of the blessed garden

Founded in the home planet of lord Savik; notoshibo. The people of the planet had deemed him a fertility god for his blessings as a spyker and the ability to terraform their world into a golden age of crops and all plant life.

Though he was taken from his planet given with his heavy disinterest in the imperium after multiple attempts from the emperor to persuade and challenge Savik into joining the imperium.

And much to his displeasure, adjusting to life on terra was highly difficult and became rather known for his bitterness. Though since no one on his planet had the genes for blond hair or any eyes different than brown, seeing sanguinius and Robute's hair was a strange experience for both parties and still bothers Savik (he will not get used to blonde hair and blue eyes)

The sons of savik go through a very common and spiritual process with psyker energy given through their gene sire, connecting each Astarties minds like the rootwork of mushrooms and to their Primarch. Each man of the shrouded guard could communicate without speech, information passed through their network of spyker energy.

Lemme know if y'all wanna hear more :3c

[bardicious]

Oh! No, I know why I'm slightly frustrated at the Jim leaving his kid story line, and it's more to do with them killing his son off??? Like??? Literally wtf? So unnecessary.

[okwhotookmyusername]
