Chapter II: Picking up Supplies

The present year is 2 BBY. A seventeen-year-old Carmen Rogue, child of Jake and Gem Salsurfer Rogue, was lying in her cabin in the Rogue's Revenge, her parents' freighter. Her father slowly opened the door and gently said, "Carmen, wake up." Carmen groaned and asked, "Dad, do I have to?"

Jake sat on the edge of her bunk and gently rubbed her side and replied, "Only if you want to go to Tatooine to pick up supplies."

At that, Carmen immediately jumped up, "Yeah, I wanna go." Jake smiled and said, "I knew that would get you up." Carmen quirked a brow and asked, "Did you say that just to get me up?"

Jake shook his head and answered, "Not at all; get dressed. If you want to go with me to that dustball, you need to get dressed to help me tune up this bucket o' bolts while we're there." Carmen gave a sharp nod and said, "I will, Dad." With that, Jake left her cabin and Carmen immediately jumped out of bed to get dressed.

About five minutes later, Carmen walked to the cockpit to her waiting father. She was wearing ordinary Rebel attire: light grey pants and a grey long-sleeved shirt. She sat in the co-pilot's seat and glanced over at him. He looked back toward her and asked, "You're ready?" Carmen nodded and said, "I'm ready, Dad." They powered up the ship and flew away from the Alliance to Tatooine.
