Briefing’s with Unar and Duncan (Open for everyone)

[Ashla Marr]

Ashla sat back listening to the conversation taking place. She was pleased that Unna decided to help her explain this very difficult situation. “It is very disappointing to tell people the truth only to have them not believe me. But on the other hand, I don’t know if I can really blame them. It is a very hard thing to accept. I don’t know if I would accept it, if I were in their shoes.”

She looked down as her thoughts rushed forward and then she smiled, “I got it” she said with pride. Ashla reached in to her pocket and pulled out a coin. It was an Imperial Credit, “it’s really the last thing we have that is from our own world, um universe.” She handed the small token to Duncan. It was, on its face a credit. The weight seemed right, but the style and design were all different. Instead of it being a Republic Credit, it had the words, ‘1st Galactic Empire’ inscribed on it. The value of the coin was, ‘Five Imperial Credits’

“We were on Alderaan, at one of the local farmer’s markets,” Ashla explained. She turned to Unna, “I bought a bag of dried, cured meat and the merchant gave me this as change.” She tried to smile, “do you remember that day. It was the day before we were forced to leave Alderaan. Remember the music in the air. The smell of the market.” Her voice tailed off as she remembered all the people she had once knew as friends, as family. All of them who are now gone. “I remember watching you and Nalan,” she said speaking of Knight Nalan Passik. “You two were always so close,” she said trying to smile. She looked down for a moment, “I was always so jealous of you two.”

She looked at the small piece of metal. “I don’t know why I held on to the coin for so long.”

OOC Mike said that because all credits are electronic and it was already ruled that credits carried over could be used here, that this coin would be the only one he was allowing. I kind of begged him for it. Lol. He wanted me to make it clear that the coin holds no valve in New Horizons other than as an oddity.
