[b][color=B22222][h3]15 Minutes Since Arrival[/h3][/color][/b][/center]
[hr]

[b][color=fff200]"We're WHAT?"[/color][/b]

A booming voice of authority rattles [i]The Endeavor[/i] as an angry Admiral has been struck with the sudden answer of their predicament. 

No one onboard was prepared for an event quite like the one they've stuck themselves in. Merely 15 minutes ago, the crew of the Venator-Class Star Destroyer, [i]The Endeavor[/i], found themselves in a deadly spot against the Separatist fleet. A fleet consisting of three other Venators and three Acclamator II-Class Assault Ships went up against a relatively small enemy fleet, which guarded an unusual hyperspace portal. They were tasked in destroying that portal and while they did do a significant amount of damage on it, along with the Droid Fleet, before it could be destroyed the Republic Fleet was suddenly ambushed by a larger enemy fleet. The enemy fleet destroyed all of [i]The Endeavor[/i]'s escort fleet, trapping them in between them and the portal itself. With nowhere else to go, and with not enough firepower to blow-up the portal, Jedi General Vell forced the ship to hyperspace through the portal, risking nearly everything to escape from being destroyed by the Separatist forces while Admiral Kardoff heavily protested against it. Now they are here, having sustained some casualties and damage to her systems, including the hyper-cannon located by the base of the bridge "tower".

[b][color=fff200]"Repeat that again?!"[/color][/b] Admiral Kardoff barks at a clone operator before the bridge doors open to reveal Jedi General Vell walking briskly into the room.

[b][color=a0410d]"Admiral?"[/color][/b] he asks curiously, [b][color=a0410d]"What seems to be the~?"[/color][/b]

[b][color=fff200]"I'LL TELL YOU WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE MATTER!"[/color][/b] the admiral erupted as he rudely cuts Vell off with a whirl of his finger, [b][color=fff200]"WE'RE LOST THAT'S WHAT! IN FACT, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY WE'RE NOT EVEN IN OUR OWN GALACTIC SPACE ANYMORE! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR RECKLESS DECISION TO JUMP INTO THAT DAMN PORTAL!"[/color][/b]

The jedi flinches slightly as he raises his hands to calm the admiral down, already his face becoming as red as a tomato in rage.

[b][color=a0410d]"Woah woah, take it easy general."[/color][/b] Vell replies in a calm tone as he looks towards the clone operator, [b][color=a0410d]"But just what do you mean that we're not in our own galactic space anymore?"[/color][/b]

[b]"Sir."[/b] the operator cuts in to answer, [b]"Our jump to lightspeed has planted us in an unknown sector of space."[/b]

[b][color=a0410d]"I'm guessing the unknown regions right?"[/color][/b] questioned the jedi quickly.

[b]"Negative. The galactic map doesn't show us anywhere on it. If we were in the map, it would be blinking our location right now. And the communication array is fully-operational with no defects, damages, or interference of any sort."[/b]

Vell stopped to think about the situation, looking out at the vastness of space for a second before returning aboard.

[b][color=a0410d]"Wait... you mean?"[/color][/b]

[b]"If I'm not mistaken general,"[/b] the operator replies solemnly, [b]"I don't believe we're in our galaxy anymore. We're somewhere in some other galaxy or who knows where."[/b]

Vell couldn't believe it. That portal didn't pop them out in their own galaxy... but rather beyond its boundaries. Even the force managed to confirm that this is the case. He plants his hand over his temple as he takes a seat next to the operator. Why would the Separatists have a portal to a galaxy far, far away? It didn't make the slightest amount of sense. 

[b][color=fff200]"And what's worse,"[/color][/b] the Admiral adds, [b][color=fff200]"The hyperdrive has been significantly damaged due to our abrupt jump. And you and I know all too well that even if we happen know where we are, this ship can't simply hyperspace across entire galaxies."[/color][/b]

[b][color=a0410d]"So we're stranded then."[/color][/b] the jedi finished as he sighs loudly seemingly in defeat, [b][color=a0410d]"Oh how wonderful..."[/color][/b]

Admiral Kardoff eyes the jedi with a hostile glare, his green eyes piercing through any who dare glance back at him.

[b][color=fff200]"This could've all been avoided if you didn't force the ship to go straight through it, General Vell."[/color][/b] Kardoff said with a bitter tone.

[b][color=a0410d]"And how was I supposed to know where the portal would've popped us out, Admiral Kardoff?"[/color][/b] the jedi answered back in a commanding voice, [b][color=a0410d]"What matters is that we've SURVIVED. We had nowhere else to go, not enough time to project an alternate course without our engines getting destroyed, and certainly not enough time to get into the escape pods and survive. We had to choose either taking the risk to live and fight another day or to become casualties of war."[/color][/b]

The Admiral stood silently for several seconds, lowering his head while still retaining that sour frown. The jedi was right in a sense. Unless he'd wished for death, he too might've had to make the quick decision to jump into the portal. But in doing so, they found themselves far from home, in an alien environment that was deemed nearly impossible to travel to.

But just before the silence of both figures lasts for too long, the onboard radar suddenly begins to blink rapidly. The operator quickly turns to see what was alerting them. What he saw were around a dozen signatures popping up randomly throughout the sector. Both the jedi and the admiral also took a glance at what was going on. Yet it soon became obviously clear.

[b]"I'm picking up around 12 random signatures. Looks like we're not alone."[/b]

[b][color=a0410d]"Did the Separatists get here already?"[/color][/b] Vell asks concerningly.

[b]"Negative."[/b] the operator responded bluntly, [b]"These ships are unknown - some of them as large as this very cruiser or even slightly bigger."[/b]

Jedi General Vell and Admiral Kardoff looked at one another worryingly as they proceeded to figure out their next move.
