The liquid pours in, covering her head in seconds. It tastes sweet, sickly sweet.
It stays that way for what feels like eternity. Right when she feels like she can't hold her breath any longer, it's suddenly gone.
She finds herself in a pitch black void.

-
[i]Iso curls up in a ball and rocks back and forth. Her eyes are wide open.[/i] "I-I'm okay....I'm okay....."
-
A loud voice can be heard. "Prepare simulation. Exercise alpha-19." It sounds vaguely familiar.
-
[i]Iso quickly stands up and gets into a fighting stance.[/i] "P-Please, I don't want to hurt anyone!"
-
The room suddenly explodes into light and smoke, four men in gray armor come charging in. Plasma fire erupts from behind her, flying at the four in armor. The troopers dive for cover. Blaster fire errupts from both sides of the room, niether seems to notice her.
-
[i]Iso ducks behind cover with her hands over her head.[/i] "Go away! Go away! Go away! Go away! Go away!"
-
Screams come from behind her as the armored troops land hits. "Addy, cover me!" "On it sarge!" They move from cover to cover, quickly annihilating threats as they clear the room. "Raze, Ash, blow the door in!" Yells the aparent leader. "Aye aye, Sarge." And explosion shakes the room.
-
[i]Iso breathes rapidly as she watches the events.[/i] "Th-This is an illusion..."
-
Blaster bolts fly from the room, one of them passing through Iso with no effect. The four soldiers dissapear inside amidst a spray of plasma.
-
[i]Iso now walks around the scene in curiosity rather than fear.[/i] "Huh."
-
The blaster fire seems to die down, suddenly a pained scream can be heard. "One one is down! Medic!" "Sarge, stay with me vod." The voice from earlier is heard. "EndEx! EndEx!"
-
[i]Iso pulls a Charlie and shows little emotion because she's too focused analyzing.[/i]
-
The sergeant, One one as they called him, is lying on his back. Blood is flowing from a hole in his armor. The simulation ends as a Mandalorian in black and blue armor charges in. "Can'ika! Breath lad, you'll be fine." The Mandalorian removes the injured man's helmet to reveal the same face as Cannon, minus scars.
-
[i]Iso looks at Cannon in shock.[/i] "C-Cannon?" [i]Her eyes go wide.[/i] "My head....Oh...."
-
The vision seems to fade slightly, she 'wakes up' in the field. Nearby she can hear what sounds like someone groaning in pain.
-
[i]Iso runs to the groaning.[/i] "H-Hello?! I can help!"
-
Cannon is lying in the grass, his armor back to normal. He's clutching his head in pain, writhing on the ground.
-
[i]Iso runs up to his body.[/i] "Cannon?!"
-
Cannon's face is contorted in pain, tears running down his face. "N-no... Not again... P-please!" He dosent seem aware of her presence. [spoiler]first time she's seen him cry.[/spoiler]
-
[i]Iso's breathing gets heavy.[/i] "C-Cannon...? I'm here, baby."
-
He begins to shake. The area around them suddenly distorts, the fog turning blood red, then suddenly into sand. Iso finds herself standing over Cannon, whose back in his clone armor. Around them are hordes of skeletal droids. Cannon raises a pistol, firing through Iso and hitting a droid. The blast once again fases through her.
-
[i]Iso shakes her head.[/i] "These are just memories. I have to stay focused."
-
The droids close in, suddenly an explosion tears through their ranks. "Cannon! Come on!" The Commando scrambles to his feet, sprinting towards his squad. Another explosion goes off, knocking him the last several meters into the trench. Iso can actually feel the pain of his impact, though it's more like the memory of an old injury. She can feel his fear, his adrenaline rush, and can feel that this is his first real combat scenario.
-
[i]Iso takes deep breathes to try to calm herself down.[/i] "Calm....Calm...."
-
"Where te Haran is our bloody air support?" Cannon yells over the din as droids advance on the trench. "No support, the Jedi are busy evacuating their own." Cannon swears in at least three languages as he fires.
-
[i]Iso walks around Cannon.[/i] "I wonder how long ago this was."
