The Emperor's Jubilee

[Samus Aran]

Samus reacted badly when the soldier came to find her. Given the speed and trajectory, she’d assumed he was an attacker, and done the only logical thing given the crowd. She’d leapt into the air and tackled him off his bike. They’d careened into a building and Samus had him pinned before he’d managed to stutter out that he had an urgent message from Dredd. Samus was very glad that the helmet covered her face. At least the crowd had scattered away from where they’d landed.

After an embarrassed apology, they were flying towards a wide, dome-topped building that seemed to be waiting for them, wings opening as soon as the air-speeder drew close. Samus hopped off the bike, striding through the building at the behest of several stormtroopers who pointed the way. The building she arrived in was very wide, flat-topped and had a large hologram showing the layout of the city. Dredd greeted her.

“How do you feel about computers?” he asked.
