Now it Starts...

So, now it starts.

A few days ago I was feeling uneasily peaceful, and knew storm clouds were gathering. And I was incredibly prescient: x0 has started killing people with her mind again.

I say again, because there’s a history here, but let me start in the present. Last night, as we sat in the bar, she walked up to a patron, all smiling, and boom… seconds later the guy is laying a in a pool of bright red blood. He’s seriously injured, and if it weren’t for Chol, wouldn’t have made it.

Chol insisted (asked is too small a word for it) that I take her over to the shelter. He’s a good man, I just think he needed some time to think. Eventually he came over, and she tried the same thing on me, just to see what would happen. Again, I was seriously hurt, while Chol, Amyla and Imrhien just looked on. I just lay there, until I could carry myself to the med center.

I’m worried. If this starts going, she’ll not be welcome here real fast. As it is, I fear that the Alliance will redouble their efforts to get hold of her.

Imrhien’s also going to bring a whole world of trouble down on us. She’s foolin’ around with a young LT. All he needs to do is see x0 in action and a whole verse of trouble is going land on her heads. Foolish girl; she’s lonely, it don’t take a rocket scientist to see that, but the LT, we’ll he’s working the wrong side of the street. It’s going lead to trouble of the kind that goes “boom”. I’m tempted to haul x0 onto the nearest ship and make a run for it, but I don’t see it doing a whole lot of good. Ain’t no hiding from the trouble that’s comin’. Might as well meet it head on.
