The Kaph XO was sitting at the bar on the mSSD Atrus when a short, beautiful young woman walked up and asked for the same drink he always orders.

"I would like a cup of hot chocolate, please." Jade said to the bartender. Ph'rranix looked over at her, still unsure who she was. A moment later their eyes came into contact. Memories rushed back into the Wookiee's body. This girl was his friends, ex-girlfriend. Now she was part of the Vast Empire, the best naval fleet in the galaxy.

"Do I know you?" she asked Ph'rranix with a puzzled look across her face. Ph'rranix stared in awe at her. It had been five years since they'd last seen eachother, and now she was more gorgeous than ever.

[I am Ph'rrrranix,] he growled. A moment passed, and the two just kept their eyes locked on eachother.

"I know you! You are friends with Lars," Jade replied in astonishment.

[Was frriends,] the Wookie bellowed correcting her. [He thinks I stole something of his.]

"Oh, well he was trash anyways." she said reassuring Ph'rranix that it wasn't his fault.

The pair sat and caught up for a few more hours. As the bar closed up for the night, Jade came up with the idea of having a simulated battle in Stormz' TIE's.

Stormz had just returned to his room and began suiting up. A moment later his comlink began buzzing. He answered it to hear that Jade was walking toward his XO suite to change.
