[Anno] The riches

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

The captain stands at the head of the table, her cape swishing in the wind. Her blue suit is an old military suit, with glistening gold medallions. This would make you assume that captain Rouch knew the terrors of war. But no. This suit was found in antique shop and she has never felt pain. She stands still, dramatically, for a while.

Abruptly, the blast door opens, making the captain jump a little. A man in a usual uniform for the Minaglacion faction eagerly enters. "Ma'am!" He calls across the long table," The riches are here!"

"What do you mean?" She says, with a face of confusion,"Have I met you before?"

"The myths, they're true! Legotavia lives!"

"You mean they... Legotavia... survived the storm!?"

"Yes ma'am!"

"You mean the treasure of the lost sector may be ours!"

"Well ma'am, they are... Pretty powerful... And we're only-"

"We could be rich!"

"Well..."

"Now leave! Your lowering my self esteem!"

"Ummm yes... Sorry ma'am"

The troop leaves and the doors close firmly behind. "Well then," Captain Rouch says with a devious look across her face, "I guess we need some help..."

(To be continued)

(If this doesn't work with images its because I've decided to use Flickr for the first time)

Image
A transport ship lies crashed on a landing site. A battle had been raging before this. Prime minister Julia Hinden stands in the middle of a crowd of Hooded crusade troops. Her daughter, Moria, stands to the side of this crowd, polishing a grey, bruised hard suit.


Image
"Ma’am !" a man with binoculars shouts, "someone’s out there!"

A small brigade of troops marches over the hills in the distance.

Image
Julia walks up towards them. "Aah Rouch. long time no see!" she says in a jolly fashion with a slight hint of fear in hear voice, "So what do you want?"

"Well, as you're in debt, would you mind doing a job for me?"

"Oh sorry, we don't want anything to do with war."

“Oh really now? Then what happened here?” She says with a grim smile on her face, looking at the war torn land around her.

“We didn’t want to... we lost so many...”


Image
"Ok then. you'll pay your debt in a different way." She swiftly pulls a gun up and shoots Julia in the chest, "Well then, it's been good working with you."

She stands, drops the body and cries. She’s never killed anyone before. And her friend being her first victim? She stays sitting while everyone else stands speechless, not being able to comprehend what happened in that split second.


Image
But Moria, she stands with tears and anger in her eyes. She throws her sword across the landing pad. It flies into Captain Rouch’s chest flawlessly. Rouch falls onto her knees and looks at the sword.


Image
"KILL THEM", Rouch shouts to the troops, fuelled with anger, “KILL THEM ALL!"

(To be continued(Maybe as a forum battle))
