Seeking Out the Songstress
The Silver Marauder leads you out of the hidden launchbay and down a short corridor to the suite of rooms that is currently occupied by Dame Harmony Sonata. She rings the space-bell, but has already begun to open the door when a melodious, yet sad-sounding voice calls out, “come in!â€
Entering the room behind Caroline, you espy the famous songstress, a blue-skinned, titian-haired beauty with ample charms, who you recognize from the recordings and posters you have collected as one of her greatest fans, though you never even dreamed of meeting her in person, much less on a space station when you are about to be attacked by mercenaries and have just recovered from amnesia!
“Dame Harmony Sonata, we have come to beg you for aid!†the Silver Marauder explains.
The diva’s eyes, which are the exact color of a three-mooned midnight, which you know well, having grown up on triple-mooned Riadorf, capital planet of the Dorgian Empire, well up with crystalline tears. “Alas! If only I could help anyone, but my muse has left me, and I am too disconsolate to do anything at all. Except weep, sometimes, but even that is difficult!â€
“Perhaps we can help you regain your muse?†you suggest, moved by the blue belle’s misery.
“O, how I wish you could!†Harmony cries. “But how can I create more music, when it seems that none of the songs I have sung have been enough to truly stir the heart of another?â€
You are moved to reassure the lovely lady! “But you have stirred hearts! You have touched mine, most deeply, from afar!â€
“O, if only I could believe your sweet, sweet declaration,†the vocalist grieves.
If only you could prove to Dame Harmony Sonata that your appreciation for her music is so profound that it transcended even amnesia! If only you had a holo-recording in your possession, which you recovered from the infirmary, that would demonstrate this to her…!
Well, do you?
1) Nope!
