  Much Ado About Nothing

It’s that time of the year again, when the army closes their accounting books and does their inventory. RB’s mind was spinning with confusion and the mug of caf didn’t exactly help either. Setting down the flimsiplast sheet and looking back at the terminal, RB scratched his head. “It doesn’t make sense.”

Darr looked up from his sheet of inventory. “What doesn’t make sense?”

“According to this we have forty active E-11s and seventy in the armoury, why the hell do we have so many backups?” Rogueboy asked to no one in particular before getting up. “I’m gonna go check the armoury, this can’t be right.”

“Have fun.” Darr said sarcastically.

On his way to the armoury Rogue passed by two offices, the cantina where the unpleasant odour of overcooked goop reached his nose, three squad barracks rooms later and he was at the armoury. The armoury had a thin mesh of durasteel that protected it from theft and a mini-blast door that was lockable. This didn’t stop some minor thefts but a secret holocam had managed to catch the perpetrators who were soldiers from another platoon. Rogueboy fondly remembered tossing them in the clink.

When RB reached the armoury the corporal on duty saluted him. “At ease corporal, I’m here to check some of our inventory.”

The corporal raised an eyebrow but said nothing as he lifted a piece of the desk that allowed people to enter. “What section would you like to check out?” The corporal asked as he took off his cap and used his forearm to wipe some sweat off his forehead just under his dyed blonde hair.

“Small firearm section, please.” Rogue said firmly as the corporal led him deeper into the pits of the armoury.

Reaching their destination and doing a quick count Rogue realized his suspicions were probably correct but was giving the problem the benefit of the doubt. Counting twelve E-11s, Rogueboy headed towards Wraiths barracks. Currently Wraith was out on a mission but they did not bring their E-11s with them, Iron Horse was in their barracks and they had their standard nine blasters with them.

Entering Raiders barracks RB hesitated as he realized that Raiders didn’t even use that particular blaster, their main armament was the A280. Namyr was the only one in the barracks, polishing her armour that had a healthy burnt patch on one of the shoulders. “I’d ask how bad was it, but it obviously wasn’t too bad if you’re polishing it.” RB said as Namyr looked on obviously ignoring him.

“Are you mad at me for something?” Rogueboy asked with his eyebrows raised.

Namyr continued to ignore Rogue until finally sighing she spoke. “I just got out of the bacta tank after two weeks. I cleaned the scorch marks on the chest, now if you don’t mind I have much work to do.”

Namyr said as she stood up and walked out of the barracks leaving her armour there. Sitting down in her place Rogueboy picked up her rag and began cleaning her armour, all the while cursing himself for a fool.

RB knew he screwed up, never mind not visiting her while she was in the tank because she would not have known anyways but the simple fact that he was not aware of it. Shouldn’t he have gotten a report stating she was out of action? Don’t people usually gossip about this kind of stuff? Rogueboy shrugged his shoulders, very simply he was going to have to make it up to her, yet he still had to find those missing weapons.

Retiring, funny how many people thought this was true, then again Namyr had been through a lot and people hand been taking bets for the last five years on when she'd retire, or when she'd get knocked up.  A lot of people had too much time on their hands that was for sure.  But retiring was far from it, in other words she could be a hired mercenary for the Empire, a person to do the dirty work for the Empire without soiling their hands.  On the plus side she had few people to report to, mostly a delivered letter with her orders, and of course she didn't have to wear a uniform and was given a pretty big paycheck to buy her own armor.  On the down side she was losing a lot.

Namyr glanced at Rogueboy as she left the room, this was for the best.  He believed she was moving to some far planet, starting a business and living a comfortable life...without him.  The steady ache in her chest made Namyr cross her arms and hold herself.  Maybe she could stay...no her constant leaving and coming back at odd time would be too difficult for her to explain.  Besides, she had pretty much severed the relation by taking on a lover.  It was painful for Rogueboy to find out, but severing the relation so roughly was best for him, he would forget her soon enough.

Namyr wouldn't forget, not for a long time at least.  Each scar on her body reminded her of missions she had fought beside Rogueboy.  She remember each kiss, each hug, each time they were near.  Goddess, his smell still made her knees weak, his eyes, his beautiful eyes reminded her of the chiuldren they'd never had.  This was pure suffering, and Namyr hated every moment.  Blinking her eyes several times she continued down the hall, this was for the best, right?

No matter, she still had to move her stuff out of Rogueboy's apartment, and of course say goodbye to Patch.  Which was the exact point when Rogueboy walked into his apartment, Namyr was doing some adjustments on Patch's wiring.  the two of them stared at each other with wide eyes.
