Part One: The Big Heist
(Story Of Mi“cio)
The story began, not in a dusty western town as many original
stories claim. No, but in all actuality, it took place on a planet
base known as Mi“cio. Mi“cio was the largest base, with the
meanest, toughest scum in all the galaxy. Nobody ever spoke
of it, let alone think of it without shuddering. Planet base
Mi“cio, in all of its history (which went back well over
years) never was in a battle or war of any kind. Mi“cio kept
itself hidden very carefully from all parts of the galaxy. Moving
frequently, one was never sure where it might be at any given
time. So how is it that this planet base, whom has never been
involved in any questionable behavior, become an object of fear
to all living beings?
One word answer: unknown. In general, living beings
fear what they do not know. The unknown. Mi“cio was
classified as such. Nothing was really known of it, therefore it
was considered dangerous to the greatest degree. All the
stories they had concerning Mi“cio was indeed as titled: a
story. People, over time, invented such tales to keep the fear
in people strong. To prevent them from investigating. A very
dangerous task indeed.
You may wonder what all of this has to do with the story.
If you truly wish to know the story, then you must be patient
and allow me to tell it. First of all-well, let me take you back.
Place: Mi“cio
Time: Many years ago
The Captain of Mi“cio lay in his personal quarters. His
face was ghastly white, eyes closed, he lay very still. ‘Perhaps I
am too late.’ His commanding officer thought, stress and pain
colored his emotions.
“No, not yet, Dem.” White lips gasped.
‘Dem’ looked down to find the Captain gazing up at him,
making a very serious effort to smile. The words drained him
of his already limited supply of energy. “Captain, everything
has been done per your orders.” He reported. He pursed his
lips, “Sir, please, nobody aboard wants you to die. Please
