Joshua was talking to his daughter Cynthia and brother Mackenzie, when Ulrich entered the now empty room. Peenk, and Mala and Nani had taken Boz back to his mother for his feeding. "Still talking I see." Ulrich quipped. "Ulrich, meet my former identical twin brother, Mackenzie, and my daughter Sasha Cynthia Kirk." "Oooo, nice stripe up the legs." Cyn said, staring at the broken red stripe that ran up the legs of the man's pants. Ulrich glanced over at Joshua with amusement. "I think you need to explain to my daughter just what that really is." The elder Kirk brother said. "I think so too. She's going to need to know this when she gets here." Turning to the screen, he smiled at the girl. "Miss Kirk, see that stripe on your fathers pants? That is a fashion accessory. This broken red stripe on mine is not. This is the Corellian Blood Stripe, First Class. It is the highest honor that the Corellian people can bestow upon one of our own." Cynthia nodded. It was clear that she was interested in what the man had to say. "I have two of these. My brother K'Shee has one, and two Second Class as well." "For bravery under fire of course?" Mackenzie said. "No." The Corellian man said quickly. "Anyone can be brave under fire. This is for doing something that you know there's very little chance of you coming out alive." "Really?" The girl said with a smile. "What did you do to get yours?" "I was given the task of taking a crippled Home One class Starcruiser, and I was given a company of Stormtroopers to do it. Which is what I did. I Brought half my men aboard as close to the engineering as I could. The other half were given the task of taking the bridge. This gave us control of the ship. We threatened to expell all the air into space if the crew didn't surrender." "Wow. Did you lose any men?" Cyn asked. "About a quarter. After the ship was secured, I gave the ok for a prize crew to be brought aboard." Ulrich shook his head slowly. "That was when I was given the order to execute all prisoners." "What did you do?" Mackenzie asked, staring at the man suspiciously. "Why, I rearmed the rebels and helped them take their ship back!" Ulrich grinned at the others. "You should have seen the looks on the faces of the prisoners in the ship's hold, when I entered with three of my people, all of us pushing bins full of blasters. I told the Alliance captain what was happening. In fifteen minutes, we'd taken the ship back." "I bet they were surprised." Cynthia said. "Not as surprised as the crews of the two Stardestroyers on station. You see, their captains had already cancelled the battle stations status. Suddenly they found all the guns on the Star Cruiser powering up. They never stood a chance. Help from the Alliance arrived an hour later. Of course, as far as the Empire was concerned, we were all killed by the rebels. It wasn't until the Corellian government was giving me my other Blood Stripe for the capture of an Imperial battle station when the Alliance took coruscant from the Empire that they found out about it." "So you were given this Blood Stripe for taking both sides in the same battle?" Mackenzie said, laughing. "Hey!" The former Stormtrooper interrupted him. "What could be more Corellian than that?" "Daddy." Joshua's daughter cut in. "We have to go. It's game time." "Ok. You go kick some ass then." Then turning to his brother, he went on. "And I mean that figuratively, Mack!" "Ok, ok! I have not taught these girls to play dirty." "Yeah!" Cyn said as she was moving to switch the comm station off. "He's just taught us to take no prisoners!" She grinned as the signal was cut.
