Under Surveillance
***Mazzra POV***
Hearing my alarm go off I quickly shot out of bed and hurriedly get ready for a new day to get more information in the code of the upcoming assassination attempt.
Exiting my room I take large steps my boots clicking everything it hits the hard floor, paperwork and tablet clung into my arms, I turn with a heft swift, something catches the corner of my eye and a quickly halt skidding a little, I see a black cape just escaping round the corner, 'I must be o edge' I say to myself and start walking again.
''Maz...hey Mazz!'' a voice shouts making me snap out of my trance on route to the bridge, turning around I see Laura standing there waving at me, a smile creeps up on my face as I wave back starting to walk towards her.
''Hey it's been ages'' I reply relaxing a little, ''it has been its being all hands on deck lately, I hope it gets sorted as I swear I'm seeing triple she laughs making me smile, ''I'm trying my best my whole station is trying their best then maybe we can catch up more longer in cantine maybe?'' I reply feeling my tablet vibrate a reminder it's my shift in the next 5 minutes.
''Sure all hopes we catch this before all our necks are on the line, see you'' Laura replies tapping my shoulder before leaving. I quickly walk back to my station panicking as I have never been late..yet.
Skidding past other ensigns I see Admiral Piett talking to a Lieutenant, ' Piett is here' I say to myself a feeling of excitement swims over my body I have always wanted to meet him in person.
Finally reaching the bridge and at my station with 60 seconds to spare I place my books and tablet on the desk next to me and login to the computer. ''Ah Miss Kirman'' Kronn's voice booms behind me, ''glad you made it in time'' he then says while I press some buttons to get the screen up and calibrated ''I got slightly delayed but I made it in time Sir'' I reply seeing him pick up my books and tablet. ''Interesting a book about Binary, a book about morse code, and your tablet, I'm glad to see its always with you all the time'' Kronn says switching the tablet to his right hand and left hand before placing it back where I left it, ''Is these books really necessary?'' He asks, ''Sir I know Binary and morse but the more information about it the better to track this code and get what we need'' I reply not moving an inch my eyes focused on the dots lined up across the screen.
I hear Kronn leave and I get into my work not seeing my tablet make a frizzle noise and the screen flickering as the tracker Kronn placed activates.
***Kronn***
Out of the bridge he com links is second in command ''tracker is in place do what you need to do as quickly as you can'' he says 'even you may fool a Sith Lord but you will not fool me' Kronn says a dry smirk flickering on his face before walking back to his station.
***Admiral Piett***
Standing there with his hand behind his back and his chin pointing up, he waits for Lord Vader to allow him in the office he is temporarily using.
''Gooood Admiral keep up the good work'' Vader replies gripping the armchair, ''Before you leave Admiral, Admiral Kronn has a suspicion that one of his newly trained Ensigns could be a spy I want you to gather as much information as you can of this Ensign before he does.'' Vader then says spinning his chair around to see Piett. ''Of course My Lord whom is the Ensign I need to look for?'' Piett replies.
''Mazzra Kirman'' Vader then says before turning his chair back round.
***4 Days Later***
Maz has been getting more and more paranoid since the day Admiral Kronn was next to her going through her stuff, her tablet is a little slower than normal and often a noise would be going through the speaker, Kronn says it's just the hyperspace interfering some devices, but Maz thinks shes being set up to be fixed in something bad.
Everywhere she goes someone dodges her before she can say or catch up to them. Piett has been hanging around as well looking directly at her when she walks past not addressing her.
Maz's anxiety is hitting the roof but she has no one to go to, no Mrs. Kurz, and Laura is too busy to listen.
***Piett***
After a few days of searching Mazzra's background, he has a full record of who she is.
As the doors open he sees Lord Vader Standing still and stiff the regulated breathing is the only thing keeping the room dead quiet.
Clearing his throat he opens the file up and puts on the desk, ''My Lord after a few days of searching I have the full record of Ensign Kirman, I have full assurance from my crew and myself that she is not a spy.''Piett says while seeing the file fly in the air and into the grasp of the Sith Lord.
Hearing the paper flick through he waits for Vader's reply.
''Impressive work Admiral you have done me proud'' Vader says focusing on something on the page. ''So she is an Earthling?'' Vader questions, ''Also before joining she stayed with her family and helped in the family business before voluntarily join the Empire.'' Vader finishes before flicking through more pages.
''Yes My Lord and the search that follows shows on her tablet record that she is either on two sites, one being the work group chat with her squadron, and the second going through different wavelengths, no sign of anything breaking the code.'' Piett then says hearing the door open and a rushed and red-faced Kronn entering the room.
''My Lord'' Kronn starts gasping for air holding up a black file, ''as I said and I never fail the file of my search of Ensign Kirman, she is a spy'' Kronn says slamming the file on the desk making Vader spin on his heels, his cape wooshing to his side and Piett's file in hand.
''Have you'' Vader replies his mechanical tone deepens while he places the file down to pick up Kronn's. As Vader flicks through the file seeing photos of Miss Kirman, Piett slyly smiles at Kronn knowing that Kronn is fixing Ensign Kirman to fail and it would not work.
''Interesting Admiral Kronn, but one thing is missing'' Vader says slamming the file to the wall and leaping to Kronn to pick him up by his very own hand. ''THE TRUTH!'' Vader's voice booms lifting Kronn in the air. As Piett backs off touching his back to the wall he could feel the air tighten seeing Kronn grasp Vader's arm to pry away to get some air in his lungs.
''M...My lord its.. the truth'' Kronn squeals while trying to get air to speak, ''It is a lie, a fixed plan to make an Ensign fail and put the blame on her'' Vader booms tightening his grip. '' Shh. she is the spppyy'' Kronn says before seeing black enclose him.
''You have failed me'' Vader says and with that a loud snap is heard and drops Kronn's dead body to the floor, Piett stiffens up while Vader walks back to his post, bile of sick growing up his throat as he sees Kronn's neck broken in half. Clicking his fingers his men drag the body out of the room.
''I request Ensign Kirman to meet me'' Vader says ''yes My Lord'' Piett replies clicking his heels and walking out to find Maz.
