Realizing the woman wasnt going to pose a threat to her, she removed her spear from the girls throat. “I'm not going to hurt you. It seems like those Maltese critters did that pretty good beforehand. Jesus Christ girl, what happened to you?”. She laid her spear on the ground next to her and kneeled next to the person. She saw the strained look on her face, albeit that the person couldnt see it due to the hood and scarf she used to cover her face, and drew a worried look. "Can you tell me your name, and where you are hurt?".
In the distance, soft barks and distant gunshots could still be heard of the maltesan attempt to line up the slaves again. It was impossible to tell how many were killed by now, but judging by the amount of gunshots, it were at least 20. The Rheinlander looked over the girl again, noticing her dress torn to shreds. "I caught 2 guards flat-footed the other day. I still got a spare maltese uniform, not unlike the one im wearing now. Can you stand?". She kept kneeling down next to the figure, awaiting an answer.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
