Other cardinals clad in their crimson robes came out on other balconies to watch him. &lt;p&gt; "Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me – a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," he said. "I entrust myself to your prayers," the pope said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;       The crowd responded by chanting "Benedict! Benedict!" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Ratzinger served John Paul II since 1981 as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In that position, he has disciplined church dissidents and upheld church policy against attempts by liberals for reforms. He turned 78 on Saturday. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The new pope had gone into the conclave with the most buzz among two dozen leading candidates. He had impressed many faithful with his stirring homily at the funeral of John Paul II, who died April 2 at age 84. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; More pilgrims streamed into St. Peter's Square, waiting to find out who was selected. Prelates gathered on the roof of the Apostolic Palace. The bells rang 6:04 p.m. (12:04 p.m. EDT) ending confusion over the smoke signal that had risen from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. The 265th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church succeeds John Paul II, who gained extraordinary popularity over a 26-year pontificate, history's third-longest papacy. Millions mourned him around the world in a tribute to his charisma. Cardinals had faced a choice over whether to seek an older, skilled administrator who could serve as a "transitional" pope while the church absorbs John Paul's legacy, or a younger dynamic pastor and communicator - perhaps from Latin America or elsewhere in the developing world where the church is growing. While John Paul, a Pole, was elected to challenge the communist system in place in Eastern Europe in 1978, the new pontiff faces new issues: the need for dialogue with Islam, the divisions between the wealthy north and the poor south as well as problems within his own church. These include the priest abuse scandals that have cost the church millions in settlements in the United States and elsewhere; coping with a chronic shortage of priests and nuns in the West; and halting the stream of people leaving a church indifferent to teachings they no longer find relevant. Under John Paul, the church's central authority grew, often to dismay of bishops and rank-and-file Catholics around the world. Even though John Paul appointed all but two of the men who elected the new pope, it was no guarantee that the new man would necessarily be in his mold. Pope John XXIII was 77 when he was elected pope in 1958 and viewed as a transitional figure, but he called the Second Vatican Council that revolutionized the church from within and opened up its dialogue with non-Catholics. The new pope will have to decide whether to keep up the kind of foreign travel that was a hallmark of John Paul's papacy, with his 104 pilgrimages abroad. The new man may be locked into one foreign trip - the mid-August Catholic youth day gathering in Cologne, Germany. John Paul had agreed to visit and organizers have already spent millions of dollars in preparations. (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

I beg to differ though especially since I made it up. Try using it if enough people use bettererest it will become a word, so go be bettererest than all the rest, well not me because I am the bettererest of them all but u can be a real close second!

By a little band you... well considering the people i know who read my blog haven't heard of. I just love how well they are doing in the main stream, some of their early stuff was just a bunch of teenagers singing about, well whatever came to mind. This is off their second album A New Way to Be Human. I love a lot of the stuff on this album it lacks the polish of there newest stuff at this time they were still under sparrow as there label, and they had a indie sound, and were a step above garage band in sound. I can't say I'm crazy about their first album, but I like a lot of the songs on it. Sony picked them up and they put out a new album I believe it came out in 03 but I could be wrong.&lt;br /&gt;But their “new” album A Beautiful Letdown (The song for which the album is named is not the best song they ever did and it surprises me they named the album after that song.) A Beautiful Letdown is a lot more       sounding and polished.&lt;br /&gt;U2 is a major influence on their music, not in sound but in lyrics. I love that they are doing so well in in mainstream so few Christian bands ever even get into the mainstream, the fact that they are doing so well is just wonderful. I think one of the main reasons is that they don't hit you over the head like other Christian artists tend to do. They also don't have a Jesus is my     friend song. I hope they put out a new album soon, until then I have plenty to listen to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110920503459798591?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110920503459798591/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110920503459798591' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110920503459798591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110920503459798591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2005/02/new-way-to-be-human.html' title='New way to be human'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110869481733483592</id><published>2005-02-17T21:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-02-24T07:22:15.260-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Music part two</title><content type='html'>Ok this is mostly in respones to Miss.

Now from an evolutionary standpoint I don't know how you would explain this. But it seems one of our God given abilities. Now what brings this up is I was listening to my mix CD and it has about four or five different genres on it, and it is only a small slice of the variety of the music out there, while some animals communication seem to be musical (Whale “song” comes to mind.) but is it really music? And in America we have given birth to so many kinds of music. Blues, soul, jazz, rock 'n' roll, metal, country, hip hop, disco.

I have wondered about this song and what it was about. I recently saw an interview with U2 on their new album, one of the subjects was what is vertigo followed by where it is, I had a kind of similar view that Bono had on it, he says in his mind it is a club where the music is not what you want to listen too, and you see a girl wearing a cross, then he says some stuff that was kinda mumbled.&lt;br /&gt;I felt it was more like a party for a while, up until the line about the check. Then I figured it was a club of sorts. Bono says its a song about current events. I wasn't sure what it was about exactly. I shall have to get the lyrics until then go look them up on your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110756755410378197?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110756755410378197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110756755410378197' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110756755410378197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110756755410378197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2005/02/vertigo-part-ii.html' title='Vertigo part II'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110747964874962577</id><published>2005-02-03T20:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-02-03T20:14:08.750-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Story</title><content type='html'>I want to write some short stories I want one to take place in brazil, but I need a story so if any of you have ideas please do share them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110747964874962577?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110747964874962577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110747964874962577' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110747964874962577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110747964874962577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2005/02/story.html' title='Story'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110739817427908982</id><published>2005-02-02T21:31:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-02-02T21:37:31.186-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Iraqi elections</title><content type='html'>Well the votes are not in but I for one am amazed at how well the election went.

type='text'>Emo unload</title><content type='html'>I have been feeling a little off this month, and I am not sure why, I feel like I need to be more a part of the church. The flip side of that is I want to go have fun and I really don't want to examine my reasons for wanting to do whatever I want. Because I know that they can't and don't hold a candle to the church. I feel torn by some things in the bible I understand why they are there but because they apply to loved ones, and in some cases I wish I didn't believe that it is true it would sure as hell make my life a lot easier, but thankfully for my priest and family I do believe it and have no plans to leave the church still some things I wish I could just make go away. I hate to use such a teen cliché, but I feel confused.&lt;br /&gt;To make matters worse collage looming large on my life's horizon I feel like I am at, or am coming up on a crossroads. Thankfully I have all my career plans mostly together. I can't wait to get older and move out and start my own life but at the same time I don't want to face all the real life problems of being on my own. Like for instance food and shelter, things that I have never had to worry about before, and it is scary to think that I will be on my own in just a few short years. I only have about two years before I have to choose a collage, I found one that is about two hours away that looks good, but I really don't know where I want to go to collage, as much as I want to get away for collage I feel that having friends, family, and church near by would be beneficial. Well thats all the time I want to spend dwelling on this matter that for the moment, good night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110497726963930491?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110497726963930491/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110497726963930491' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110497726963930491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110497726963930491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2005/01/emo-unload.html' title='Emo unload'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110489754285870021</id><published>2005-01-04T22:25:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-01-05T21:09:31.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Smackledorf!</title><content type='html'>Hello everbody, I only post here when none of my friends are on, so you guys are lucky I have NO ONE on my aim , sadly I have nothing to say, drop me a idea why don't u I mean if u have time to read my silly blog you can drop me a email or sumthing aight?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110489754285870021?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110489754285870021/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110489754285870021' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110489754285870021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110489754285870021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2005/01/smackledorf.html' title='Smackledorf!'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110472696212735893</id><published>2005-01-02T23:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-01-02T23:36:02.126-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Zoo york: Legends never Die</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110472696212735893?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110472696212735893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110472696212735893' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110472696212735893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110472696212735893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2005/01/zoo-york-legends-never-die.html' title='Zoo york: Legends never Die'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110463777271527526</id><published>2005-01-01T22:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-01-01T22:49:32.716-05:00</updated><title type='text'>hello</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:webdings;"&gt;hello all who bothered to translate this I feel really depressed tonight so I figured I would write and no one would ever read this in fact most of the people who reead this are gonna think it is just random typing, Hmmm...

but since no one gets my evil Republican joke, let me explain it. Republicans are considered evil, wanting little children to starve and warmongering, oh and being intolorent. Or so you average liberal shmu..er shmo on the street will tell you. Now I have nothing out for liberals, now I think they are wrong, but I tolorate their views. What makes me mad is when I or others are assulted by liberal agenda. This brings up another peeve, TOLORENCE GOES BOTH WAYS!!!!! If I don't just LOVE anything liberal it is HATE? So I can't not like somthing? there is no middle ground I either hate it or love it. And yet movies like Fereinheit 9/11 are lauded by the media and the left, which since bush won I could really care less! But have you even &lt;em&gt;heard &lt;/em&gt;of fereinhype 9/11? Probably not, and if you do you didn't see it on CNN or MTV. I understand alot of where liberals are coming from, so unlike many people I know who just attack the left, without a single clue, for instance I know someone who think we should ship all the gay people out of the USA, which is SOO bong hitting of an idea I am not even gonna discuss it any further than that.

Also I need advice should I change the name of my blog, or make a new one called Let's make fun of liberals. I'm not sure, so I'm taking a vote, so post something in the comments. Yes or No and your red to write but couldn't. Even now I don't know what to talk about. My reasons for your choice, and if your lucky I'll listen to you.&lt;br /&gt;A friend of mine the author of Through the Dusty Gate. She cut her hair about shoulder length, is used to be long don't know exactly it went down her back. But now she is having buyers remorse. She doesn't know why she cut her hair, she thinks it was the thoroughly evil nuero at the hospital. He claims she was faking her symptoms, trust me she has far too much dignity to fake anything.&lt;br /&gt;I am also throwing around the idea of having a journal for a made up character, I'll have to see how this all works out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110331975319189324?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110331975319189324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110331975319189324' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110331975319189324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110331975319189324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2004/12/hey-real-effortwell-kinda.html' title='Hey! real effort...well kinda'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654995.post-110326371317878010</id><published>2004-12-17T01:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-12-17T01:11:20.816-05:00</updated><title type='text'>INSANE</title><content type='html'>LOOK OVER THERE!!!

Just wanted to say that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Wars&lt;br /&gt;A Troopers Tale&lt;br /&gt;Thrak Ranhold was being transported to the Death Star. He had been causing trouble on the Kyasykk command post. He didn't agree with what the Empire was doing there. Making the wookies their slaves then adding insult to injury, being forced to build the Empires bases there. He wouldn't lead wookie work crews, and whenever he had guard duty wookies would escape. So Colonel Aldo had him transferred to this new base, the only thing that kept Thrak from being discharged or executed was the fact that he was one of the best stormtroopers the Empire had ever pumped out.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok, everybody into the boarding craft, move move!”&lt;br /&gt;“Yes sir!” replied the ten men in his first wave attack team.&lt;br /&gt;They were being sent to help overtake a small blockade runner. Thrak and his team would see the hardest fighting, but they were the best and had seen much worse combat than they anticipated to find on this small blockade runner. Thrak had some small idea about what was going on but the rest of the team, they also had no idea why this small ship was worth a huge star destroyer like the Devastator's time, it was hardly a star destroyers mission to bother with such insignificant rebel scum. Especially when you consider the commander of this ship was non other than Darth Vader himself.&lt;br /&gt;“Everybody strapped in?” Thrak asked as he fastened his five point harness.&lt;br /&gt;There was a nodding of helmets. The TIE boarding craft took off out of the hanger.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok standard attack formation, we shouldn't be fighting many real soldiers. I am guessing mostly blaster pistols I want all of you back alive we also have a special objective, we need to find a Princess Leia, apparently she is the reason for all this crap. So lets find her, so we can get back to our very important other business, like napping,” Thrak said smiling but his voice unit barely betrayed a small amount of emotion.&lt;br /&gt;The boarding craft slammed against the side of the blockade runner and the TIE's hatch mounted laser cutters sliced through enemy ship's entry hatch. The door blew in and the stormtroopers ran into the hall firing their weapons. Thrak nailed a rebel almost immediately, his bunkmate, and friend Juat Kalia was shot and was critically wounded.&lt;br /&gt;“Medic! I got a man down!” Thrak shouted though his helmets closed comm system. He took aim and hit another rebel and killed him. The teams medical officer moved from the back to give aid to the fallen troopers.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok lets keep going, anyone else wounded? ok you three come with me, reload and lets roll. “On me on me! Fire at will, but Lord Vader wants the princess alive.”&lt;br /&gt;“Roger that,” replied the remaining stormtroopers.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok the rest of the soldiers have boarded it is only a mop up operation now, lets keep moving. Over there!”&lt;br /&gt;Princes Leia pulled a blaster but Thrak was faster he shot her with a stun ray and she fell onto the ships deck.&lt;br /&gt;“Alright pick her up lets get her to Lord Vader.”&lt;br /&gt;Two of the stormtroopers picked up a Leia and carried her out of the Tantive IV and into the Devastator's hanger bay.&lt;br /&gt;“We'll take her from here. Thank you, and good work,” said a high ranking Devastator official.&lt;br /&gt;“Alright move it to the gear room. I will catch up with you guys later.”&lt;br /&gt;The remaining stormtroopers walked off, as Thrak waited for the MedVac team to come off so he could see how his wounded men where he knew that two had died, and he was hoping that Juat was alright though he feared the worst he saw were the bolt impacted and he was pretty sure Juat wasn't going to make it, then two MedVac troopers came off the ship Thrak walked up to them and asked&lt;br /&gt;“Have you guys seen a guy, I.D. code IF-483 name Juat Kalia.”&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, he is in Medbay B-17.”&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you, I need your lead man in debrief room ASAP,” said Thrak after he took off his helmet. “Hey do you have a narc?”&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah sure you look like you need one,” the medic said reaching into one of his belts pouches and handing Thrak a narc pack.&lt;br /&gt;“Thanks I'll see you later.” Thrak said as he walked towards the adjacent debriefing room.&lt;br /&gt;___________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;“Alright good work out there soldiers we accomplished our mission with a minimum of casualties. We lost a total of seven soldiers but we killed or captured twenty-five rebel forces. Not including a rather large thorn in the side of the Empire Princess Leia Organa. I need a written report from all the team leaders starting with Alpha team, going to Gamma, and then one from the Medic teams.” said Commander Jaimon as he handed out datapads with the 501 combat report preloaded on them. After filling out his form Thrak sat next to the Medic team leader.&lt;br /&gt;“How is Juat looking?” Thrak asked leaning back in his chair.&lt;br /&gt;“Not to good I am afraid I don't know if there is anything we can do for him. Given enough time the Bacta tank he is in will heal him but that takes time, if he has a lot of will power and luck he could make it.”&lt;br /&gt;“Thanks I'm going down to see him I'll catch you later.”&lt;br /&gt;Thrak walked out of the room and down the hall to the nearest turbolift. He got into the turbolift and punched in the floor that the medbay was on.&lt;br /&gt;Thrak walked out of the turbolift and into the medbay. He past eight wounded soldiers on his way to Juat's Bacta tank and thought Why do we fight? Why did we join? There is no draft, all of us joined of our free will, was it for the honor? Or was it for something else? Like a need to protect the galaxy. As I see more and more combat and as I mature, I am less and less sure of why I fight. I trust less and less the motives and methods of the Empire.&lt;br /&gt;“Hey Juat!” how's it going?&lt;br /&gt;“How do you think it is going?”&lt;br /&gt;“Like crap.” replied Thrak with no humor in his voice.&lt;br /&gt;“Right on the head. Anyway did we complete the mission?”&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, I have a question for you.”&lt;br /&gt;“Shoot, or rather don't,” Juat said smiling.&lt;br /&gt;“Why did you join?”&lt;br /&gt;“My old man made me.”&lt;br /&gt;“When do you get out?” Thrak asked sitting down on a chair a Med droid brought him.&lt;br /&gt;“Next year, if all goes well. How about you?”&lt;br /&gt;“Well I was planning on careering it but lately I just don't know. It seems the Empire gets shadier and shadier as time wears on, maybe they were always like this, maybe it has started just recently. Take the Wookies for instance....” There Juat cut him off saying&lt;br /&gt;“They are just animals, Look at them I mean....” here Thrak cut Juat off saying.&lt;br /&gt;“Have you ever seen Kasyykk? Have you ever seen a Wookie family? Have you ever seen where they live? They build houses they make weapons, real energy based weapons, whole towns build in the trees. No you haven't,” Thrak said with a icy edge.&lt;br /&gt;“Point taken on the Wookies but saying things like that is going to get you in trouble. I like you I hope you like me I have turned a blind eye to the Empires tactics and methods. No I don't agree with some of what they are doing, all I have seen of Wookies is what the Empire has put in my head,and what I have seen in bar fights.”&lt;br /&gt;“Just forget it look I need to go. Get better and don't die or I'll have you demoted,” said Thrak getting up.&lt;br /&gt;“Yes sir,” replied Juat with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;“Move out! Go! Go! Go!” yelled Thrak as he lead his team out of icover and firing. Boca the squad's heavy gunner laying down heavy suppression fire, Thrak and his team knew they had to find new cover fast, because Boca's weapon would overheat soon. Thrak and Simra dived it to a crater left by a bombardment from their star destroyer the Hand of the Empire. Thrak saw a thermal detonator fly over his head and yelled. “Incoming grenade cover!” He heard the grenade explode behind him and pieces of rock and dirt hit him in the back of the head. Thrak heard one of the enemy commanders yelling to charge he set his blaster on full automatic, stood up and mowed down six , the ones he didn't either ran or dropped to the ground. he knelt down and reloaded and said. “We need to move after that their gonna be pissed.” So Thrak and Simra moved back as they did so Simra was hit in the leg, but his armor absorbed the blast, and Simra didn't miss a step.&lt;br /&gt;“I'm ok lets keep going.”&lt;br /&gt;“Alright behind this boulder,” said Thrak before he moved behind the boulder. He leaned right to check for , then he radioed the rest of the soldiers. “Give me a sitrep now soldiers,”&lt;br /&gt;“This is Bravo team scout AX-3701 I am in position. I am guessing I have made seven maybe eight kills. The base should not be to hard to take I see three turrets one combat speeder, and about fifteen dismounted soldiers on the base itself I also see soldiers along the path to the bunker. This is Bravo squad, scout team, AX-3701 out.”&lt;br /&gt;“This is Kappa team leader GH-3312 I have a man down here his I.D. is GH-3351, he is hit but not badly our medic has him stable, we were taking heavy fir but we have eliminated all known threats in our area this is GH-3312, team leader out.”&lt;br /&gt;“Ok good, looks like we have this under control make sure that man stays stabilized. We have AT-ST coming in as well as more ammo and some 'nade and mortar launchers so we can take the base, so everybody just sit tight until support gets here I want all my men back alive.”&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes the rhythmic grind and thump of AT-ST.&lt;br /&gt;All right here come the big guns, thought Thrak as he pulled out his electrobinoulars to check the walkers exact position. As he settled back down he called all units to his location except the scouts to his location, who he wanted to stay on the forward line to keep tabs on the enemy's movements. Just then a sniper bolt flew inches from his face, he pulled back his body against the rock. He switched to thermal on his helmet's visual assist interface, he peeked around the side of the and looked in the direction that the sniper's fire came from. He saw a very weak heat signature on the far left of his field of view, he went from thermal to zoom mode and saw a large oicover and firing. Boca the squad's heavy gunner laying down heavy suppression fire, Thrak and his team knew they had to find new cover fast, because Boca's weapon would overheat soon. Thrak and Simra dived it to a crater left by a bombardment from their star destroyer the Hand of the Empire. Thrak saw a thermal detonator fly over his head and yelled. “Incoming grenade cover!” He heard the grenade explode behind him and pieces of rock and dirt hit him in the back of the head. Thrak heard one of the enemy commanders yelling to charge he set his blaster on full automatic, stood up and mowed down six , the ones he didn't either ran or dropped to the ground. he knelt down and reloaded and said. “We need to move after that their gonna be pissed.” So Thrak and Simra moved back as they did so Simra was hit in the leg, but his armor absorbed the blast, and Simra didn't miss a step.&lt;br /&gt;le of brush, obviously the sniper was using a heat sig hiding device, like what is built in to all of the stormtroopers armor systems.le of brush, obviously the sniper was using a heat sig hiding device, like what is built in to all of the stormtroopers armor systems.&lt;br /&gt;“Simra you go around the left you fire on the sniper from there I will try to nail'em from the left, with to targets he will have to waste valuable time choosing one of us as a target. They rolled out from behind the rock spraying fire, Thrak heard a groan as one of his bolts hit home. Just then the other teams showes up&lt;br /&gt;“What was that asked one of the stormtroopers.”&lt;br /&gt;“Just a small can of stormy whoop ass,” said Thrak dryly. Just as he finished saying that the AT-S T's walked up.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok, lets roll, you guys stay behind us the weapons are strapped onto the back of our walkers legs, you guys keeps us clear of pounders, and this should go smoothly.”&lt;br /&gt;“Rodger that good to have some real fire power with us. Ok boys lock and load, lets roll!” Thrak yelled to boost his soldiers morale.&lt;br /&gt;They moved in on the enemy base, drawing fire the walkers took care of most of the resistance, and troopers took care of any thing that made it past the walkers cannons. As they went inside the bases perimeter two quad barreled anti aircraft turrets rose out of gratings in the ground, they started firing and destroyed the walkers almost immediately reduced to molten slag,Thrak and his platoon ran for cover, most of them made is but six of his troopers were atomized by&lt;br /&gt;Thrak woke up in a cold sweat, that was the day his entire platoon, due to except his snipers and two walkers were destroyed, he escaped to the Imperial landing zone. But then the Borg blaster went running around town.&lt;br /&gt;“I don't like this at all,” Thrak said once they were on board their ship.&lt;br /&gt;“Same here, but these are Jedi hardly the type for trouble making, something is up.”&lt;br /&gt;Fossi powered up the Dealer and flew out of the hanger. “Next stop Naboo!”&lt;br /&gt;“Yes sir!” Fossi said brightly as she punched in the jump coordinates. “Alright strap in were jumping in five, four, three, two, and jump.” Thrak watched the stars streaked by as their ship made the jump into hyperspace. “Accounting for time difference we will be there in time for our dinner meeting with our paycheck,” said Fossi smiling. She got out of the pilots chair and walked to the the main hold with Thrak. He was looking at a datapad of their astromech droids read out, trying to see how they could speed up the power hacking process if this happened again he wanted to be away from any tractor beam before they were in a hanger of that was possible. “Hey Thrak I am gonna take of my armor, clean up and catch a nap I am tired after our little encounter with the New Republic.”&lt;br /&gt;“Good Idea I'll have G4-T1 pilot. I am gonna change into to something less, um soldierly too. I doubt we could get in anywhere nicer than a Tantooine dive bar dressed like this.” Thrak walked up into the cockpit and started to activate the droid, when he had an idea, he set to work at the comm station and accessed Shadowcast and New Republic battle and comm net records. Few people knew about Shadowcast, and fewer people could accesses it. Shadowcast was the rebellion's secret communications system, It was unknown to the Imperials, and if they did they know they couldn't decode it without a key, which Thrak bought of a rebel defector shortly before he killed him, stupid fool tried to kill Thrak and get the key back and the credits back, so he could resell it to another person. Thrak didn't think very much of that little scheme, and quickly dispatched the con man.&lt;br /&gt;“Luke, we need to talk.” Mara said as she put away her datapad .&lt;br /&gt;“Ok, what do we need to talk about?”&lt;br /&gt;“Well why did you bring those people here?”&lt;br /&gt;“I heard that they were the best, and I wanted to see.”&lt;br /&gt;“Well?”&lt;br /&gt;“ I did a full system scan of there ship, they have a Shadowcast key, but they also have several Imperial code keys as well as many other keys, mostly private business groups Seinar, Kuat, and a couple others. As well as the Black Sun. So we know at least they are well informed.”&lt;br /&gt;“Shadowcast! These space monkeys are running around with a Shadowcast key?”&lt;br /&gt;“I know Mara I'm not pleased with it myself, but first of all it is his and the fact he has Imp keys and the fact that we haven't been ratted out tells me they are in no danger of telling anyone.”&lt;br /&gt;“I have to agree, by the way you know they lied about there destination,” said Mara still unhappy about the Shadowcast key.&lt;br /&gt;“Of course I would have been disappointed had they told the truth, but not to worry, I know were they are going.&lt;br /&gt;“How?”&lt;br /&gt;“I am the one who gave them the contract. I have dinner reservations at a restaurant in Theed. They are supposed to meet me there in three hours, would you like to come to dinner?”&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you Luke I believe I will, also why did you tell me to let them go so suddenly?”&lt;br /&gt;“The sweep also reveled that they had ten battle droids on board and their astromech droid was about twenty seconds from giving the ship power.”&lt;br /&gt;“I see why on the battle droids, but why was the ship getting power so bad?”&lt;br /&gt;“If the ship had power they could easily killed all of us and gotten away.” Luke said bluntly. “And seeing that kind of devotion to their employer they would not hesitate blasting us all had we resisted their escape.”&lt;br /&gt;“When they learn we are their employers I feel sure they will join our fight.”&lt;br /&gt;“I agree with you but we should be going if we are going to make our dinner reservations.” Mara said smiling. “We'll take the Sabre.” And with that she walked out of the room to get ready for the flight. “Oh and one more thing, what are there real names?”&lt;br /&gt;“Thrak and Fossi Ranhold.”&lt;br /&gt;“So our delightful guests are married, huh. Well see you in five minutes.”&lt;br /&gt;The warning light flashed on the control panel that they were about to come out of hyper space. Thrak climbed over to the pilots seat and took control of the Dealer, though not a pilot by profession, he could match most of the pilots around, he was a soldier not a pilot anyway, the fact he belong to the Pilot's Guild at all was amazing. Thrak also owned a yacht that he used whenever he didn't want to be ostentatious, it also showed a little polish and refinement rarely found in soldiers of fortune. Fossi walked up onto the cockpit smelling lightly of stericlean and sleep. She bent over and kissed Thrak on the head.&lt;br /&gt;“Good we're here.”&lt;br /&gt;“Hey Fos, sleep well?”&lt;br /&gt;“As well as can be expected, I have a feeling about those jedi. Doesn't it seem odd, that Luke and Mara would be on a little outpost in the middle of nowhere?”&lt;br /&gt;“I was thinking the same thing I did a little research, I think it was a setup, either they let us go because they didn't want trouble or they were done, who ever heard of kidnapping a gunship then asking all the questions? I mean trying to pass Mara off as just a inspector it seems silly even I know her face, it's like they thought we are morons.” Thrak said incredulously, as he punched in one of the ship's false transponder codes, the entire ship was coated in a color changing substance so the ship could change color schemes, as well as the ship's art with electricity, so the Dealer of Death which was both Thrak and Fossi's favorite name, also went by The Hand, Pretty Girl, The Ruckus, and Halo, and she had nose art and decals for all these names, making her impossible to track for very long.&lt;br /&gt;“Outta my chair,” said Fossi smiling. Thrak got out of her chair and bowed sarcastically.&lt;br /&gt;“You know there is a full set of controls in the copilots position.” said Thrak.&lt;br /&gt;“Yes but I am the pilot,” said Fossi matter of factly as she guided the ship into a landing zone. The ship landed in a small landing zone outside of Theed, the capitol city of Naboo.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok I have to go see a friend, see you in forty-five,” said Thrak opening the gangplank.&lt;br /&gt;“Alright then you better not be late, again.” Fossi walked down the walkway and to one of the side compartments and opened it. “Or you'll be cold tonight.” Fossi said smiling. She lowered the speeder bike lift, and then remembered they were on Naboo not some backwater planet, they needed something more sophisticated.&lt;br /&gt;“I know what you are thinking I already took care of it. Our speeders will be here in...” He was interrupted by two speeder pulling into the docking bay. They were two brand new, top of the line Nubian speeders.&lt;br /&gt;“We'll be coming in soon he are gonna have to hurry to get there on time but we should be able to make it there.” Mara said to Luke as she guided the ship through Theed's sky traffic. They had gotten a landing bay closer to their meeting place, as to make getting to their meeting place a little sooner than Thrak and Fossi. Mara landed the ship in the landing bay and there was already a taxi waiting for them to take them to the Enkoyo Restaurant, one of the trendiest places to go in Theed. They walked into the restaurant and were shown to there table. Five minutes later Thrak and Fossi walked in and seeing Luke and Mara walked strait to there table.&lt;br /&gt;“Hello Luke I figured you would be here.”&lt;br /&gt;“Oh really and how did you know that?”&lt;br /&gt;“Let's just say I have the means to discover things said in the past.” Thrak replied smiling as he sat down in the booth.&lt;br /&gt;“So tell me what you know?”Luke inquired picking up a menu.&lt;br /&gt;“I see no danger in that. I know that you hired us on our reputation. You hired us to follow a prospect, and that are interested in hiring us to help the New Republic.”&lt;br /&gt;“Correct on all points, but first here his your payment,” said Luke reaching into his robe.&lt;br /&gt;“No, we are both Gentlemen, business can wait until after dinner. I would also like to apologize for my behavior when we first met, I was more than a little disconcerted as you might imagine, ”said Thrak in his friendly disarming voice.&lt;br /&gt;“Certainly, I find your attitude refreshing, mostly mercenaries and well, mercenary.”&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you but we are not mercenaries. We are simply unaffiliated soldiers, who also like the finer things in life, and most soldiers don't make the appropriate amount of money to support our lifestyle.” Thrak said smiling, as he took a sip of his water.&lt;br /&gt;“Well said, the Republic needs more soldiers like you.”&lt;br /&gt;“I'm sure you do, but I doubt you could afford us for very long. Even with all the Republic's wealth I really don't think we would be very cost effective.”&lt;br /&gt;“Right well thats the crux of the issue. We need you to fight for us for standered wages, you would make a six digit paycheck.”&lt;br /&gt;“Ah thus you coming in person, to try to sway us to work for less.” Thrak said more than a little bit cynically “We love your cause, but not that much, I mean the more conflict there is the better business is.”&lt;br /&gt;“While we realize that we need your help, not only to fight but to train new soldiers.” Mara said quietly.&lt;br /&gt;“Thrak and I would need to talk about this, how much longer will you be in Theed?”&lt;br /&gt;“We leave in the morning,” replied Luke.&lt;br /&gt;“Very well we will have our answer for you tomorrow morning at the latest, but for now you can tell us the pro's of joining the New Republic over dinner.” Fossi said politely unwrapping her silverware as their meal arrived.&lt;br /&gt;They ate while Mara and Luke went on and on about how good it would be how it was the right thing to do. Thrak and Fossi had already made up there minds but they were gonna make the two jedis work, or at least make them think they were working to get them to join.&lt;br /&gt;“Okay I have my decision,” said Thrak as the waiter walked up.&lt;br /&gt;“Will that be all?” inquired the waitress helpfully.&lt;br /&gt;“No, I will have a Eyeblaster, and a piece of cheesecake, Fossi, you want anything?”&lt;br /&gt;“Yes I'll have have a East Theed ice tea.”&lt;br /&gt;“Good and you two?”&lt;br /&gt;“No Thank you we'd like to get the check.”&lt;br /&gt;“No problem I'll be right back with you drink, and your check,” the waitress said before walking away.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok and your decision is?”&lt;br /&gt;“I think we will do it for a while and make a decision in a month whether we want to stay on, sound good?”&lt;br /&gt;“That would be wonderful, thank you very much, you have made the right decision.” Luke said getting up from the table. “We have to go now slight change of plans. Go to the base where we met then you will receive the jump codes for the jump to one of our star destroyers you will get a full briefing and wait till we have something for you to do, oh and heres you payment,” said Luke putting well over half a million credit bars on the table.&lt;br /&gt;“This the Dealer of Death, please give us the jump codes for the star destroyer Nightmare.”&lt;br /&gt;“This is listening post one-niner-zed. We are sending you the coordinates right now good luck this is one-niner-zed clear on your message.”&lt;br /&gt;“This is the Dealer of Death. Thank you and good day clear.” The coordinates loaded automatically into the ships nav computer Fossi slid the hyper drive throttle and the ship shot off into hyperspace&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Halfway to their destination the Dealer was suddenly ripped out of hyperspace by a gravity well generated by a Zabrak space pirates. They were flying mostly Z-79 Headhunters, and an assortment of other ships. Thinking they were trapping a large freighter they were very surprised when they got a large angry gunship. Thrak ran to his position, he activated the targeting programs, and all the turrets started to fire on the pirates. Thrak saw that the pirates were trying to get away but their own gravity wells were keeping them in place so it was a systematic destroying and calling for a surrender then shooting down another and calling again until they got down to two ships there was no response.&lt;br /&gt;“We are calling to surrender.”&lt;br /&gt;“Very well, do you have escape pods on your ships?”&lt;br /&gt;“Affirmative.”&lt;br /&gt;“Good power down your engines or be destroyed.”&lt;br /&gt;“Affirmative.” The pirates powered down there ships. Fossi engaged the tractor beam. The beam pulled the ships to the Dealer's magnetic docking clamps.&lt;br /&gt;“Ok pirates you will exit your craft and no tricks we have more than enough force to kill you upon entry so don't even look like trouble.”&lt;br /&gt;The to pilot's got out of there ships and into one of the Dealer's airlocks. The airlocks equalized and they climbed into one of the rear cargo holds. One of the pirates was a Zabrak and the other was a human, and by the way they interacted Thrak figured that the human was running things.&lt;br /&gt;Thrak lay awake on his bunk listening to the thrum of the hyperdrive engine. He took a drag on his cigarette, Fossi hated his smoking so he didn't do it around her, but he maintained that he thought better when he was smoking. Everybody always bugged him about the health risk, to which he always refuted with the fact that in his business smoking was the least dangerous thing he could do. He heard a scraping noise coming from the rear hold. Getting up he threw his cigarette into the trash can by the door.&lt;br /&gt;“What are you guys doing!” Thrak yelled as he walked to the back of the ship. The scraping stopped as soon as he yelled. Not trusting those two pirates farther than he could throw them he walked over to one of the weapons lockers pushed his thumb against the lock, the door slid down he reached in and grabbed out a BlasTech police issue rifle. Thrak turned the corner and saw the pirates trying to over load the force field by shoving cargo in to the beam's path.&lt;br /&gt;“You guys have a death wish?” Thrak said as he raised his blaster and fired at the shield the shield turned blue and rippled where he fired. The two pirates yelled, and leaped back instinctively. “I am trying to relax if you guys would like to continue I would be more than happy to open the doors and vent out the stink.” Thrak said maliciously. “Now if you don't mind pulling that cargo back while I go get something to watch you,” he turned on his heel and walked away from the cargo bay. Fossi walked around the corner.&lt;br /&gt;“What was all that?” Fossi demanded holstering her blaster.&lt;br /&gt;“Just some Gikza acting up in the cargo bay acting up.” Thrak said opening up a compartment in the floor.&lt;br /&gt;“Not the Droidika! Come on do you remember last time?” Fossi asked incredulously. Thrak remembered all to well last time.&lt;br /&gt;“This won't be like last time I fixed the bug in there 'gramming&lt;br /&gt;“Hmpf if you say so, but if not you clean it up alone.”&lt;br /&gt;“Don't worry if there are any problems I will just open it up space will do all the work.”&lt;br /&gt;“Fine.” Fossi walked down the hall into the lounge. Thrak powered p the droids told them to kill the pirates if they tried anything, but to warn them first. Thrak knew just the droids being there would scare them into being good little boys. He walked past the cargo bay and said.&lt;br /&gt;“You be good now or bad things will happen.” Thrak lit a cigarette and walked back to his bunk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9654995-110326151934517548?l=ethanjs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/feeds/110326151934517548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9654995&amp;postID=110326151934517548' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110326151934517548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9654995/posts/default/110326151934517548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ethanjs.blogspot.com/2004/12/first-post.html' title='first post'/><author><name>Ethan the wonderful.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00686474469864298414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/117/3486/320/demotivators_potential.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
