Episode 1: I was lost and now I'm found.
The holocron traveled across the galaxy, it witnessed many horrors and sights to behold. It watched as empires raise and fall, it was passed to crime lords and to kings. eventually it was forgotten in the most dusty, rundown part of the galaxy: in a shop on Tatooine. Which is where we find our hero, well if you asked him now he would say that he is no hero.
Silver was your average male human, tall, average build, dark hair, short scruffy beard. He wore a black jumper suit, the legs and chest plate of some old storm trooper armor, and a brown hooded cloak.
Sliver was in one of the many small towns that littered the sand planet. He walked through many shops, looking for anything that catch his eye. He was followed by his partner in crime, Jeuex. Jeuex was a female Jawa that took Silver in when he was young. She was your topical Jawa, short, orange glowing eyes that showed under the brown hood, she had a translator device that she wore around her neck, and a large bag on her back that was twice her size. She was a droid engineer and kept an eye out for droid parts as they walked through the bazaar.
They blended in pretty well with with the other pin the street, Silver had his hood down so he could get a good look at his surroundings and so he doesn't look suspicious. Shop owners constantly harassed then to buy their stuff, which was met with either "no thanks" or "maybe later". It was the late afternoon and There wasn't really much of anything good being sold, Silver was thinking about going back to the ship when he felt something. It was like a calling, as if something was drawing to a shop ahead.
"Hey lets take a look around in here." Silver pointed at a shop of nick knacks and random items.
Jeuex looked at him "only thing your going to find in there are junk and hood ornaments." Her translator buzzed
"It's better than leaving empty handed" Silver shrugged
"Alright, but if we get shot at its your fault."
They entered the run down shop, it was your usual trading post on Tatooine. Small, dusty, and full of junk. They passed the shop owner who was half asleep behind the counter. Jeuex kicked the counter scaring the shop owner awake, Jeuex laughed to herself as the rudely awakened trader glared at her and Silver. There was nothing of note, there were pieces of broken rusted... well random stuff. it was all haphazardly put on the shelves, as if it was put there in a hurry.
Silver and Jeuex split up and covered both sides of the shop. Jeuex was looking for any droid parts or engine pieces, she only found a hand full of protocol droid optics that looked like they could be fixed. Silver wasn't looking for anything in particular but as he got close to the back corner he felt that odd pull again and this time it was coming from a small red wooden box with a gold latch. He picked up the box, but didn't open it.
Silver and Jeuex meet back at front counter, Silver looked at the small pile of droid optics "those are some fancy hood ornaments"
Jeuex lightly punched him and laughed "shut up."
They put the stuff they found on the counter and poked the shop owner awake. They put their items on the counter and the shop owner began to tell a long over dramatic story on how the things they were buying were "the most valuable things in the galaxy." Trying to raise the price, But little did they know Silvers box was. Unimpressed with the story they paid normal price and exited the shop. Silver looked down at Jewex as they walked back to their ship. "Wasn't a complete waste after all, hm?" Jewex shook her head slowly, if you could see her face; you could see her smiling.
The second sun slowly fell on the horizon and with it night decided onto the town. There wasn't as many people around and for good reason too, this was the usual time that thieves and muggers to look for people who are unlikely enough to go for a walk at night, Just like Silver and Jewex. Two men were hiding in an alleyway waiting for them, one had a knife and the other had a pistol blaster.
Silver and Jeuex kept on walking, when they passed the ally the one of the muggers jumped out, grabbed Silver, and put the knife to his throat. The other stood up and pointed the blaster at Jewex, nether of them had time to take out their weapons.
"What do you want?" Silver said, struggling in the muggers arm.
"Give us your credits and tell your friend to empty their bag." The man was also struggling and his voice was hardly threatening, he obviously had never done this before.
"Alright, we don't want any trouble" Jeuex said as she slowly took of her bag, she gave Silver a slight nod and he winked back. She took off her bag and set it on the ground, she reached into her bag to "empty it" but reached for something else. Once she grabbed it she pulled it out as fast as she could it was a modified ca-87 blaster. And when I say modified, it's basically one blaster inside another. As soon as she pulled it out she pulled the trigger and a storm of blaster bolts shot out in a shotgun fashion, the man with the pistol got hit by the blast and flew back into some garbage cans. The man who were holding Silver was distracted by his friend being blown away, in which Silver broke free from him and pulled out his holdout blaster. The man with the knife stood there for a second, then turned around and ran. Silver let him go and put his blaster away, Jeuex put hers away and put her bag on her back and they continued walking down the street to the ship yard.
