Emberwing never met Stillstorm, she is merely acting upon information from the rumor mill.She realized that he is something like a Mizol far earlier, but it's still hard to see one in a male.She can see that the ship is reactionless, since it does not have any outlets. As to the Historian matter, let's see?They went on a slight detour and skimmed on the edge of the Hierarchy territory.Thanks, I'll correct it!
Yes, with an intense staring contest. I think that she lost...Well, she returned just in time for a resupply run and since her group was too under-strength to return to raider duty, she was sent on this mission.
The real question is, did Stillstorm even ask for all of this, the glory, fame and political involvement? It is written from the point of view of Emberwing, who just compiled various rumors about her into an image. But what about the real deal? I'll try to explore that in the next chapters.
Very true... even legends are only human.
Or perhaps it is just as Worf said:
Commander Worf: Kahless said "Great men do not seek power. They have power thrust upon them."
Funny thing is, sometimes those in power do not know what to do with it, and the opportunity to use it is always short-lived before it is passed on to another anyway.
In the case of Stillstorm... one thing I am certain of is that she is using her power to stay alive. Since you do not win all those battles without avoiding or retreating from the ones you would definitely lose.
