Chapter 7 - Psykers
In a random place in space, a Jedi flagship emerged out of hyperspace, circling a planet of red.
"General sir." A clone turned from his console to his Jedi general.
"What is it, commander?" The Jedi responded and walked over to the clone.
"A few months ago on Tatooine, there was an anomaly that was similar to an EMP blast that occurred in the sea of sand, but it disappeared as fast as it appeared, a few months later- according to our spies- a group of individuals was dressed in full leather and old gas masks were called to meet with one of the Hutt's, a few hours later every slave underneath that Hutt was freed and Mos Espa turned into a war zone as this group made every slave fight f9r their freedom, but recent news has said that they are nowhere to be found. "
"Strange. We can't move from this position... Is there anyone else nearby?" The Jedi said while grabbing his chin.
The clone pulled up a screen. "Yes, general Skywalker is closest."
"Call a Jedi council meeting."
"Yes, sir."
"On another note, why is this only being brought to my attention now?"
"We were stationed in Felucia, that's when the anomaly showed up, but because orders and other reports stacked a top of it, we only frond it today."
"Alright."
The clone went back to work and the Jedi moved to the holonet.

"Master, we received coordinates from Master Windu." Ahsoka said to Anakin.
"We also have a meeting with the Jedi council, so hopefully there is an explanation," Anakin said in response.
Anakin and Ahsoka walked over to the holonet. Three projections popped up, Grandmaster Yoda, Master Windu, and Master Kenobi.
Obi-Wan: "Greetings"
Yoda: "Master Windu, call the meeting you did."
Windu: "Yes, we have found an anomaly. Although the Sepretisist is the top priority, I deduced that this is equally important."
The three holograms shrunk and Tatooine pooped in the middle.
"On Tatooine we have found that a group of individuals has caused a war within Mos Espa, freeing slaves and having them kill their masters and escape their chains."
Yoda: "Strange, this is."
Obi-Wan: " This is certainly strange, but why is this of equal importance to the Serpartisit?"
Windu: " This group of individuals has disrupted the order of Tatooine with their antics, something of this scale only happens when it's between the Republic and the Separatists."
Obi-Wan: "So you think a third party is making a play?"
Windu: "My thoughts exactly."
Ahsoka: "But master, what if these are Separatists or Black Watch?"
Windu: "I questioned the same when I heard the news, but their tactics and equipment didn't match that of the Separatists or Mandalorian."
Anakin had been silent the whole conversation but finally spoke up.
"Master, I want to go to Tatooine."
Windu: "That was why I called this meeting, Skywalker is closest, but I would like your opinions on the matter."
The masters took a minute to ponder the suggestion.
Obi-Wan: "I don't think that's a good idea."
Anakin: "Master-"
Obi-Wan: "Anakin, you know why sending you there is a bad idea."
Yoda. "Agree with Obi-wan, I do."
Windu: "Although I agree that sending Skywalker is a bad idea, his location won't be Tatooine."
Obi-Wan: "Oh?"
The image of Tatooine changed into a transport vessel.
Windu: "We found footage of one of the masked individuals boarding the ship's storage room."
The masters pondered again.
Anakin: "Surely master, it's not even on Tatooine."
Obi-Wan sighed: "Fine, I agree to send Anakin to find this individual."
Yoda: "Agree, I do."
Windu: "Then general Skywalker, you have your mission.
The holonet turned off and Anakin walked away.
"Master!" Ahsoka chased after her master.
"Will you be alright master?" Ahsoka rested her hand on Anakin's shoulder.
"I'll be fine Snips." Anakin rested his hand upon Ahsoka's before walking away.

"The Republic and Serpritist, what an interesting power struggle, though it is futile."
The Mandalorian had woken up and with a bit of persuasion, they told me about this universe and their current predicament, I also found out what a Mandalorian is, and why Xenos are working with humans.
I sat upon the Ork Xeno, learning it's a "Gamorrean" though I think Ork is more fitting. The midget was a "Jawa" and the other two were humans.
"I want to extend an offer to you, Mandalorian.-" I hoisted myself off the Xeno with the help of my shovel and walked over to the Mandalorian. "- Join my cause."
The Mandalorian had confusion on their face but was hidden with the mask.
"What makes you think I would join willingly."
I slammed the blade of the shovel into the floor, kneeling and looking at the Mandalorian in the mask.
"I am on a mission to eradicate all Xenos, I seek the help of other humans to help carry out the will of the emperor, and I offer you salvation in knowing this. Join me Mandalorian and I promise that you will be engaged in wars that span worlds" The thought of war, spanning worlds started to make my skin itch.
The Mandalorian was reasonably skeptical and thought I was crazy.
"What makes you think I want to fight wars?"
A wave of disappointment ran through my body. "With war comes those that seek help, and with help comes money, that is good enough for you."
The Mandalorian couldn't deny that fact, but.
"What's stopping me from killing you or leaving and doing mercenary work when you start your war?"
I had enough and ripped their helmet off their head.
"WHAT THE HELL!" they screamed out.
I now saw the Mandalorian's face.
She was a woman, with smooth honey skin, firey hair, with golden eyes that were now filled with rage, and just above her eyes was a scar that cut her eyebrow in half.
"Now, mercenary, you no longer have the importance of a Mandalorian, so you aren't as expensive." I threw some credits I found on the corpses at her feet. "Now, if you join me, you shall have a title that everyone will respect."
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR DELUSIONAL POSITION, YOU JUST RUINED MY LIFE!"
"It's better this way, 'cause when I start this movement, there will only be the will of the emperor."
I used the shovel to cut the ripcord and made a reasonable distance.
"If you kill me, then you can leave here alive and as a Mandalorian, but if I win, you shall join me, whether you like it or not."
I dropped the shovel to my feet and invited the Mandalorian to strike.
Of course, they took this opportunity.
Yeah, hi, Author here.
I know that this chapter isn't as good as I'm not really feeling the book as a whole, but I will persist.
Also, it doesn't feel like 40k or Kriegsman-like to me.
So, how would you guys as readers feel about a 40k system being implemented???
Either that, or I upload 1 chapter a week instead of 2-3?
