Isn't it scary to be able to actually SEE anticipation?

It’s over! We won!

The petite redheaded human breathed a heavy sigh of sigh of relief as she watched the awe-inspiring display of fireworks streaking across the sky. These were not ordinary, celebratory fireworks; ordinary fireworks shot up into the air, exploded colorfully, and the audience would “ooo” and “ahhhh.” No, these fireworks were different; this spectacular display originated from space.

Sarriah had seen the source of the debris a few minutes prior to taking a hit from a TIE fighter’s laser cannon; it was debris entering the atmosphere in the aftermath of the explosive destruction of the Emperor’s Death Star. The TIE disabled one of her engines and she had been forced to make an emergency landing on Yavin IV.

She tore her gaze away from the sky to look over at her battered starfighter. Sarriah landed near the beach, the soft ground absorbing much of the impact. The area was covered with tall grass, and her veterinarian-trained ears had picked up wildlife in the vicinity.

Squeak, her R5 astromech, was working on repairs and issuing orders to her so she could assist him. Sarriah wasn’t much of a mechanic, but she did her best to follow his instructions. Her heart was joyous, filled with hope as she and Squeak worked side-by-side.

“Squeak, you know what this means? It’s over! We can go home, search for new pets, start our lives afresh!”

Squeak, whose name came from a strange squeaking noise he made when he talked, tootled happily next to her.       

Sarriah’s training as both an animal research doctor and more recently as a member of the Rebel Alliance’s starfighter fleet kicked in as a stillness enveloped her surroundings. A familiar dread wrapped itself about Sarriah and the redhead placed her hand lightly on Squeak to shush him.

Imperial soldiers!

Only the Death Star exploded, not every Imperial in the galaxy!  Sarriah sighed in growing dismay.

She had forgotten Imperial soldiers were all over Yavin. Awareness that it was premature to start celebrating washed over her. Sarriah crawled cautiously through the lush green foliage to peer silently through the tall grass.

The Imperial officers that had moved close by were staring dumbfounded up at the display in the sky. She heard one of their comms beep. Sarriah was close enough to overhear orders for them to return to base to prepare a search of their sector for any Imperial starfighter pilots who might have made an emergency landing in their area.

As they retreated, Sarriah leaned in close to Squeak, “We’ve got to get out of here as quickly as possible.”

The R5 beeped a squeaky reply and started to work in earnest.

The debris continued to rain down from the skies, a reminder that yes, the Alliance had won this round.

But it wasn’t over.

I am interested in pursuing a career in the Trolling Arts.  Where must I begin?  Is there a class (TRL 101) where I can learn the basic theory of Trolling?  Would I then move on to more advanced classes?  Please- I need a guidance counselor to lead me.

The Imperial Officer walked through the spotless steel  interior of the Star Destroyer Relentless. He clicked to attention when he reached the Office of General Koth Rahem . " Sir our troops on the forest moon of Endor have come under attack ." The General turned to face the officer shutting off the round hologram he was studying, " I thought I ordered you to probe the planet Colonel." The Colonel's face showed anxiety " I did as you ordered General but apparently an abandoned factory located on the planet was a Separatist droid warehouse , and apparently the native species have managed to re-activate the droids causing them to attack our soldiers stationed on the planet." "Send a squad of Special Forces to deal with this stupidity , and colonel If you fail me again Colonel I may have to turn you over to Lord Vader’s mercy." The Colonel saluted the general one last time and quickly walked out of the Office.

The Imperial soldiers stationed on Endor were growing weak by the hour. The old separatist droids had managed to catch the soldiers by surprise and put up a good fight. The commanding officer of the Imperials was a Coreillan Captain named Jomak Spars. A typical Coreillan Spars was stubborn and arrogant. Wearing a Stormtrooper armor chestplate and an Officers hat. Holding a DX-R6 blaster pistol in his hand he shouted " Comm officer ! Do you have a signal ! " He raised his blaster and fired a burst at the nearest battle droid causing it to spark and fall to the ground. " Sir we have gotten through the Relentless is sending Special Forces for our e-vac ! " " Good , lets hold our position and wait for e-vac." The droids kept on coming in greater numbers depleting the number of storm troopers in the base. Spars was about to shout an order to a heavy gunner near him  when his blaster was struck by the yellow beam of a Droid sniper rifle. " Comm officer take control of the squad and lead them back !" The comm officer nodded and ran towards the nearest concentration of troopers. Spars picked up a Detonator off the corpse of a trooper and pushed the timer with his mouth and ran towards the droids with the Detonator in his hands .

12  galactic standard hours later an Imperial drop ship landed on the edge of the camp. Commandos hopped off of the ship and scanned the area , blasters raised. General Rahem stepped out of the ship examining the debris and corpses. No one had survived the massacre and the droids were no were to be seen. On Rahems face appeared anger , a trait the colonel had never seen on the General .Rahem motioned for the Colonel to come near him. " Inform the moffs that this disgusting planet is an excellent location for the Emperor’s new project. The natives shall feel the wrath of Empire for their insolence.

So
I was thinking of allowing previous Galactic Tales winners to pm me
their choice for best story and allowing those points to help me chose
the winner. What are your opinions on this?

---

Sure,
aslong as they don't start choosing stories just for their friends. You
know, gotta vote for the best story, not the story of the guy you like
the most
