What the Rain Knows

[Cptn Corizon 0]

Sitting alone in his smallish office aboard Camelot Station, the gentle starlight providing the only light, Captain Ah-Windu Corizon looked over the information on his PADD. An expression of Dameon origin filled his head, “what does the rain know?”

 

The rain, the water of the heavens, traveled many miles high above the landmasses, the knowledge of the rain ran deep, for not only did the rain fly above the lands of the planet but they fell to seep through the earth, only to arise again. This never ending cycle brought the rain great knowledge, for it saw and felt everything around the planet, throughout history.

 

To harness the knowledge of the rain could bring you incalculable advantages in knowledge, but yet the rain was unwilling to share her mighty secrets of wisdom. Like the generals of old, who stood planning battles, unsure of enemy locations and plans, he found himself wondering what the rain knew of his enemies’ plans.

 

His thoughts twisted and turned, considering the falling rain in his mind; he almost didn’t hear the knocking at the door. “Come,” he finally said.

 

Entering the room was a tall, like featured Dameon, albeit several years younger than Ah-Windu. “Captain,” the young man’s voice echoed lightly. “You asked to see me?”

 

Corizon nodded and pointed to a chair across the desk, “Please, Lieutenant, be seated.”

 

Sitting promptly, the other Dameon quirked his ears slightly, “Congratulations on your promotion, you must be pleased.”

 

Letting his ears rise slightly, “Yes,” Ah-Windu covered a smile, “But that’s not why I brought you here Sheng-Ji.”

 

Sheng-Ji Marish now lifted his own ears in interest, “Then why did you bring me here?”

 

Corizon shifted a PADD towards the engineer. “Because I am temporarily assigning you to my crew for a special project.”

 

“Blunt as always hgha’Jwa*,” Sheng-Ji said looking at the PADD.

 

Smirking ever so slightly, “Unless you have questions,” Corizon said sternly. “I think we are done here.”

 

Sheng-Ji shook his head, “You seem troubled.”

 

Caught off guard Corizon shifted his weight, twitching his ears slightly. “Is it that obvious?”

 

“You forget, I am your zGhhUhk*.”

 

Sighing heavily, “I am curious…”

 

“Of?”

 

“What the rain knows…”
