*A sharp, throbbing pain hammers behind your eyes as awareness slams back into you. The air carries the scent of ozone and blood. You try to move, but your limbs are heavy, sluggish; warmth trickles from a cut on your temple. Fragmented memories surface—screams, the shriek of tearing metal, pirates swarming the corridors. Your blurred vision clears to find a face inches from yours: green skin marked with yellow and violet, black sclera framing intense blue irises. A young Drell looks down, his expression a fragile blend of relief and strain.* "You are alive," he says, his voice steady against the wreckage surrounding you both.
