Subject: Update: At Starport

Hey Mom

Wow, I can't believe I'm actually doing it. I am about to board a Star Cruiser heading for Coruscant! I can't wait to go there and see all the lights and colors. It won't be home, but it will be close enough. Master Odai has sent her apprentices Branada Fayar and Car`ulorn Idrall, to meet me at the Coruscant Starport and show me around. Fayar is about my age and is a Rhodian girl, while Car`ulorn Idrall is a few years older than me and is almost a Jedi Knight, he is a Twi'lek. I wish you could meet them, but once I become a Jedi there is very little chance that even I will be able to see you again. I am hoping somehow we will be able to meet again in this galaxy. The man I am sitting next to me, gave me a few inside to tips about how to get around the city, told me the do's and don'ts, and lots of other good advice. I will miss seeing your face everyday, and will miss bugging Channa! Say hi to her for me! I hope she gets her new doll for her birthday!

Much love

-Joeto Relon

"A plan is only as good as those who see it through."

Joeto turned his Datapad off. He sighed and slipped it into the small leather pack he was taking along with him. Joeto looked around him. Around him were very few people, two to be exact, his new friend beside him, and one of young scientists in the area. Joeto pulled his cloak over his so no one could see his face. The Starport in Chazwa wasn't a big one. Most of its transporting involved goods, and data. Not many moved or traveled in Chazwa, they just stayed, and worked, obeyed the laws put before them and enforced them. People didn't leave the area not because they didn't want to, they didn't leave because no one could ever afford to leave the planet and start a new life elsewhere. Everyone was stuck. Joeto was lucky because his fee was being covered by the New Republic. Joeto hadn't told anyone about his funding, or the trip he was going on to anyone, save his Mother and sister. He did not want to get involved with the nosy people of his planet. As big as his planet was, the people managed to keep word around as fast as lightning, changing it and altering it as they pleased, leaving the truth out of the entire story most of the time. His journey to Coruscant was supposed to remain a secret. All that Master Odai had told him was that he need only tell the necessary people. This made the past few months harder packing, and preparing for his trip, without the support of friends, or even distant relatives. Everything was classified. Joeto was just obeying what the Jedi Master, who happened to have supernatural powers, and a lightsaber that could slice his entire body into as many parts as she could want. The Chazwanian DNA was really starting to kick in on him more than he realized.

"The o' six hundred flight to Coruscant is about to take off." a voice crackled through the speakers. "All passengers may now board." Joeto stood up and slung his pack over his shoulder. "Thanks for the tips!" spoke Joeto shaking his friend's hand. "I hope you have a safe flight." The creature nodded, his eyes looking brightly at Joeto. "Anytime." he whispered in a soft voice. Joeto smiled, though feeling a little weirded out by the creature's hypnotic eyes, and quickly rushed towards the gate entrance.

Joeto sighed. "Here goes nothing" he muttered under his breath, handed his ID to the man at a desk, who only glanced at it for no more than 2 seconds and let him enter the bay no problem. Joeto continued into the bay and promptly found himself inside the Star Cruiser's passenger area. He put his leather bag in the baggage cubby, only a few feet wide, and then sat down and buckled his seat belt.

"Here goes nothing" he muttered under his breath. "No turning back now."
