Darth Vader's Day Off


Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Do you know what I think about being ordered to sit on my hands and wait aboard Executor? Blast it. You heard me: blast it right where the Sith don't shine.

I woke up this morning in a foul humour coupled with the determination not to spend another day staring at the walls in my hyperbaric chamber. In fact, I smashed my hyperbaric chamber -- which may have been overzealous, but it felt really good.

Klaxons rang out and a platoon of stormtroopers rushed through the doors. I pushed past them and into the corridor, breezing past a flotilla of stunned-looking repair droids and into the lift. While it ran through the levels I cracked my knuckles and grumbled to myself. Blasted Palpatine! Blasted galaxy!

When the ride stopped I noticed a minor clerk cowering in the corner of the elevator, sweat running down his cheeks as he whispered over and over again in a paralyzed mantra, "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me..."

"As you were," I rumbled, and swept out into the landing hangar.

I crossed the floor briskly, ignoring the queries and then shouts of the deck officer, heading directly for the bank of sleek TIE fighters parked against the starboard berth. A group of pilots dropped their conversation to watch me approach, suddenly nervous.

"Good morning, Lord Vader," called the senior pilot. "What can we do for you today?"

"I will take that fighter," I declared, never slackening in my pace as I bore down on their small group.

"My Lord, you're not actually authorized to --"

I proceeded to the mounting ladder, his limp corpse dropping to the deck behind me. The other pilots took a respectful step back.

Once secured in the cockpit I used the laser cannons to smear the deck officer across the hangar in a long, black streak. His subordinates jumped to action in the control booth and I saw the green signal for launch clearance flash on my TIE fighter's display. A timid voice crackled through the communicator: "Enjoy your flight, Lord Vader. She has a full tank."

"Very good," I replied and then without further preamble blazed the thrusters and sent the nimble fighter to the glowing mouth of the atmospheric shields and out into space, pilots and crew jumping aside to avoid the skim of my wings.

Space!

Infinite, unthinking, beautiful -- there is no peace like it in this world, whether by trance or narcotic. Married with the joy of flight the unblinking starscape becomes my paradise. Weightless, my ruined body feels young strength. Boundless, my spirit soars.

I veered tight across the bridge of Executor, no doubt causing Admiral Piett to spill his tea. I carried her over the deflector shield arrays and then plunged down Endor's massive gravity-well, thrusting hard at the last second and shooting out along the planet's limb followed by a trail of burning sky.

The silver clouds of the gas giant careened away to port as I throttled back and steered her toward a volcanic moon. I skirted the surface, dodging between pillars of sulpherous spume, hurtling between the rocklet baby moons the ashen orb carried as it crawled around Endor.

A little blue light indicating that I was exceeding the fighter's design parameters kept flashing, so I popped it with a thought. Bloody engineers!

In the tranquility born of extreme evasive manoeuvring I found my thoughts drawn to Sullust. The Force may work in mysterious ways but its sense of symmetry is uncanny: the Rebel fleet is massing on exactly the other side of the galaxy from Endor, cast off in the darkness of the opposite rim.

Twin foundations separated by a galaxy, one sworn to uphold order and other sworn to disturb it.

The Sanctuary Moon loomed in my scopes, the Death Star hanging like a jewel above it. As I drew nearer I felt each tendril of Force my ship crossed, thousands of threads of connection from all across the cosmos converging in the heart of my master, the Dark Lord Sidious and Emperor Palpatine. And yet...

And yet there is a cable of causality that snakes from hyperspace to this world, trillions of life destinies somehow knitted into its fabric. It blazes against the blackness of my closed eyes, its wandering fringes caressing both the forest moon and the battle-station, nodes of fate quivering at the edge of actualization behind the velvet....

And yet it connects to my master not at all.

There can be but one explanation: the galaxy prepares for my ascension. The fulfillment of the prophecy is nigh.

I have never felt so alive.

Lord Vader,

I am concerned about the apparent lack of morale aboard the Executor. After consultation with a number of stress consultants we have come up with two suggestions:

1) Paint a smiley face on your masque.
2) Tell people to "have a nice day" more often.

We hope that these two simple suggestions can be implemented ASAP. Remember, a happy warship is a deadly warship.

"I cracked my knuckles"

Forgive my my arrogance and ignorance.

"Flexed my animatronic prosthetic fingers beyond specifications" might be more accurate considering your lack of biological fingers and associated knuckles.

Of course, in the poetic licence, your original version rolls off the tongue much easier.

Lord Vader,

Pardon me for asking you to recall something from long ago, I know you are trying to be mindful of the present and yet still plan for the important events of the next few days.

Would you please share your knowledge and insight into Master Jedi Sifo-Dyas, his ordering of the clone army, and his demise. I was thinking your Master probably shared some of the details with you at some point. Or that you stumbled across them once or twice while trying to penetrate the fog of his mind.

Again, not meaning to distract you with the past, I'm just curious.

Grand Master Bling,

My research sources consist of the body of Lucasfilm movies and whatever information is available through the Databank on the Official Star Wars website.

I once sampled one of the SW spin-off novels when I was stuck at a cottage with no decent books, but I found it far too clumsy and insipid to read all the way through. So, I am not really too familiar with events that are supposed to take place post-Episode VI.

My feeling on this is that while there is a wealth of "expanded universe" lore to draw upon, most of the general reading public has no knowledge of it. They've just seen the movies, same as I have. They're not wondering about Xizor and Mara. They have no idea how or when exactly Vader found out that Luke was his son, because it happened between movies. Since this is the primary audience I am targeting, their ignorance is my ignorance. What we don't know won't kill us, much as it might discomfit some of the more hardcore nerdtronic readers who wince any time I stray from the expanded canon.

Basically, when I've really screwed up I count on getting about a hundred e-mails from disgruntled fans.

Love,

CheeseburgerBrown

Thanks for the idea on how to spend Sunday afternoon. No, I can't kill sycophantic officers. I am civilian, and such things are frowned upon here anyway.

Have you ever driven a speeder at barely subsonic speeds across Salt Flats, only to have to punch reverse thrust when that little old man in the Plymouth K car is crawling along in front of you, and you get that adrenalin rush?

Yeah. That's pretty cool.

D. Vader,
I have been following your articles since the beginning. I was especially quite fascinated by your article about the "tao" of the force. One thing struck me in one of your later comments to that article: You need to make a better name for your future apprentice. "Darth Skywalker" won't work. I can't really come up with something better right now, but I will surely let you know when I come to something.
Sometimes I wish I was born with the force in me too, but then I think about how the Sith only has two, and both seats are taken, and I know that I would not be able to stand up to you. There are no greater Sith than the two of you, so I am happy to be an observer of the Sith, as I feel I am now.

But may I suggest that the next time you encounter that 'Burger King' entity aboard your midship televator, you do more than breath heavy at him?

The impression left by your meeting with the plastic poseur, was that by allowing him continued existence, you approved of him. Accordingly, the clone troopers have not only been demanding cheeseburgers for their fare, but also small marketing-inspired toys, which I note have included not a single Sith personage.

Some lady wrote a truly fascinating and clever book on the background history of the Phantom of the Opera from birth to his coming to live in the sewers of the Paris Opera. Everything made sense very logically belive it or not (being born disfigured to an aristocratic couple, being raised in secret, running away to the circus then the far east, etc.) It was called "Phantom".

Of course there were the "I Claudius" novels as well as one also very clever called "I Cleopatra". So books on the background of fictional and historical figures are nothing new.

The "wings" of TIE fighters are neither solar panels nor airfoils. They are radiators, and their function is to bleed off the excess heat produced by the fighter's mini-reactor, which in turn powers the engines.

The extra-large "rudder" of Imperial shuttles serves the same function. Quad-engine Rebel X-wing fighters have less coolant wing area, and are thus slower craft than TIE fighters.

My choice would be Ivan Drago. The human machine being used by the political machine. Sports, politics, and Brigitte Nielsen all rolled into one.

**Attention All Commands**

Chronologistic Sensors near the Richie Maze have detected a chrono-spatial distortion of roughly .73 parsecs in size.

Remote probing indicates that this distortion has caused an open-ended chroniton-well indenture. The opposite side of this well is estimated to be 770,290 parsecs away, in the Melkachtige Manier galaxy, near a yellow-orange star identified as Sol. This system is believed to be inhabited by one humanoid species, currently believed to be no higher than TechStat3. Timestamps from remote probes sent into the distortion suggest that the opposite (Sol side) distortion aperture exists roughly 350,000 years in the future.

Because of this distortion, some holonet and datanet transmissions may experience degradation due to signal bleed, or incorrect timestamps due to chronoton radiation bombardment. Starships using hyperspace travel in the Richie Maze region should adjust course headings by .682 towards galactic core, to prevent ship chronometers being affected by the chroniton well.

Special Warning Some holonet and datanet transmissions may be drawn into the distortion. We are unable to determine whether or not the inhabitants of this system/time are capable of recieving holonet/datanet transmissions. Please be aware of this if you recieve any unusual feedback, or feedback coming from undetectable co-ordinates.

As always, time is a difficult thing to keep grasp of when using faster-than-light travel, and such ruptures in linear time make the results go from merely annoying, to possibly dangerous. We are working on a solution, and appriciate your patience.

With utmost respect,
Commander Luto Geritol
Imperial Chronologistics Command,
Coruscant, Galactic Core.

On the topic of other notable villains you might blog, Nuihc (from the Destroyer series) is a prime candidate, I think (not sure if anyone else has ever done 'im), as well as Kang the Conqueror (including his various other selves, such as Rama-Tut, the Scarlet Centurion, and Immortus, though that may be more of a team project), Gharlane of Eddore and, for a change of pace, the Servants of Cthulhu...You might also consider a twist along the lines of, say, chronicling Havelock Vetinari's life and times, though PTerry's characters are a bit more difficult, considering the act you'd be trying to follow.
