Hello, all! This is a story I'm writing for school (I know, I'm so lucky to write about Star Wars for school) and I've decided to post it here for you to read, enjoy, and give suggestions.
So without further ado, I give you Phantom Thief.
The man stepped into a dark room and closed the door. Once he had locked it, he walked over to a hologram projector in the center of the room. He was dressed in the officer’s uniform of the Imperial Navy: a slate gray shirt and trousers, impeccably shined black boots, and a belt. His rank bars indicated that he held the position of Fleet Admiral. There was an obvious shaking in his hands as he ran them over the projector’s controls. Finally, he was done. He backed away from the projector and knelt before it. It flickered to life, and a familiar - and terrifying - face appeared in its projection.
“Why do you require my attention, Admiral Sarn? You know as well as I do that I have more important things to do than listen to the requests of subordinates.” The man’s voice - if he was a man - was deep, booming, and punctuated by a steady breathing sound. It was Darth Vader.
“Grand Admiral Thrawn ordered me to report on the status of the Phantom Project, Lord Vader.”
“Why does Admiral Thrawn not report himself?” Vader asked.
“I am more acquainted with the project than he is, sir,” Admiral Sarn responded.
“If he has ordered you to report, then you will report. Do not waste my time, Admiral Sarn.”
“The project is proceeding as planned. We have experienced some complications-”
“What kinds of complications, Admiral? Has Admiral Thrawn squandered the Emperor’s resources as I thought he would on a useless project?”
“No, my lord! We have only experienced mild complications in the area of the weaponry synchronization systems.”
“Fix the problems and finish the project. I want those fighters ready by the time my flagship is finished.”
“Sir, if I may-”
“You may not. Goodbye, Admiral Sarn.” Darth Vader ended the conversation and signed off.
More will come soon.
