These days, things started to ache.
She noticed it in the joint where cybernetic limb met flesh; soreness was no surprise, but now, in the chill of wintry Ando Prime when she did deign to visit her people, it would ache acutely, almost to the point of unbearable. And in her back, along her...
It was no secret that Skuld Stark had a deep maternal streak, surprising to most who didn't know the Deucalian too well. But there was a method to her madness, after all.
She took great pride in all her children. Her own first two from her failed first marriage, Frigga and Tyrren, both grew up...

Eva had to admit... even though they lived on a jungle planet, the Wookies knew how to party! There were wrestling matches. There was food! Races! And these guys were massive. And strong. She was still sore from a playful match of wrestling, herself; it had been a very...

There was no denying it. Eva Stark had finally... finally... let her age catch up with her.
She could no longer fight as she had these last two decades; being Chief of Engineering these last few years had meant a certain element of administrative demonstration...
Ah, droids.
One of the most karking annoying things in the galaxy... and one of the most problematic. Good in a pinch if charting the stars or in need of an autopilot, but annoying when in combat. Several reports in the last few hours had been filtering in about this new mission, and truth be...

Kuat System, Galactic Technology Conference, or GTCon
Skuld, now Eva Stark, did not anticipate being requested from the powers that be, namely Tasha and Gil, to show a representation of Blackwell Technologies on their now-sponsored ship drives on Kuat. Particularly with...
It had been a long time since she had last attended a gathering upon the Klaenar of old, now more simply figureheads of a stalemate of peace than of any true power. And yet every Deucalian answered their call; the Hall which housed their counsels was one of the few in Ando Prime where Jarls and...
Not many saw Ando Prime as beautiful, or worthy of conquest. But for Eva Stark, this was her homeland, the place where her first two children were born, and where many traditions were laid as law.
It was also the seat of a new change for her people, and a new beginning to a life most had...
Eva Stark was not the kind of woman that most held appointments for, or had advisors who catered to her whims and spoke to her of private matters. She was also not used to the many responsibility of lives, at least not beyond work and help in the forge. But on Ando Prime, a rare opportunity...

Skuld Stark was not good at emotional talks or grand announcements. She knew that if she willingly shared quarters with another, that she did not want anything beyond companionship. But just when life was content to settle just a bit, just when...
In the Depths of Taris' Sewers...
The small piece of debris wasn't just anything; it had been a microchip, with recordings of the user's whereabouts. Fancy tech, almost too fancy for the bodies left aboveground. Skuld Stark loathed being underground; having spent most of her time above it, or...
The icy winds of Ando Prime were oddly still this quiet evening. One lone figure sat atop a pacing varlwulf, cold blue eyes keeping a wary lookout from her vantage point. Far above, Aurora borealis misted in ethereal colors through scattered clouds.
Skuld once watched this as a child; even...
From far above, thunder boomed ominously and rain slicked down in sheets across the viewport of a light freighter as it slowly made its' way to port. One occupant sat at the pilot's seat, peering through and softly cursing at the inclement weather as they slowly began to touch down; the other...

Ando Prime. The last time she had been there with Tagal, it had not ended well. She was a nervous wreck, sick with dread and prepared for the worst. When she had received the summons unexpectedly from her Father, of all people.. she was...

When it came to socializing with fellow members of their organization, Skuld had to admit she was a little lacking in the name of name-grabbing and title sharing. She just followed general orders and kept to her own sketches.
But with that thought in...

She was home at last.
After fighting in two public places, zakkegs, amongst other things... she was ready to drop dead of sheer exhaustion. Her leg still throbbed; her cheek was still very tender to touch, and everything ached with a thousand unseen...

Skuld Stark was normally a woman of action. Inactivity killed her; though she had patience in spades, it did not mean she was meant to wait an age.
Since the events on Ando Prime a month ago, she dealt with a complexity of emotions. She faced her father...
Coming to, and Arriving at, Ando Prime

Skuld Stark was, by nature, a very calm, patient woman, with occasional spurts of deep rage or frustration. But when discovering the very tech they needed to access advanced armor defense was on her old home planet of Ando Prime, it was suffice to...

Tagal Saxon and Skuld Stark were officially in business. Between arms-making and research into armor development, the forge had hardly been allowed to cool between projects. Skuld had been researching into alternate designs for more...

Clothes were scattered. Everywhere. In fact, some articles would disappear until there would be a next deck sweep. Her boots were somehow stashed away in the right place; right by the door. But it wasn't her room... that much was acknowledged. It was his, but any decor was...
