Chapter 3
As he arrived above kashyyyk he was surprised to find a ship hovering off his portside by a few hundred kilometres, the ship was extremely large and was very hard to misunderstand: A Imperial II Class Star Destroyer. The advantage was that his ship was small and had a small scale sensor steath module on it, it made him harder to detect long range and short range scanners. Under normal circumstances he might have reported in to the imps, but if he suddenly showed up asking questions about a un-named wookiee that had showed up on the imperial cloning facility, it was very likely to get him top of the list of a imperial interrogation.
Slipping off to the other side of the planet he found a small landing area, not particularly looking to tip the imperials that he was there he set down in the brush on the large trees. The imperials had given no particular inclination he had been seen but that didn't mean they had not, just they had been cautious. getting out of the ship he stepped on the branch he had landed on, it was big enough to be a tree on some places of naboo and handled the weight of the ship that had just landed there well so the ship was as safe as it was going to be. Looking down below him was a jungle that was said to be as far down as corusant, but down at the bottom was a jungle much more dangerous and murky than anywhere else, even dagobah. looking around there was not much to be seen, the trunks and brush was so large and dense that despite the fact he had landed high he couldn't see very far. Using comms he did a sweep of the nearby aera using the ship, to the west by about 15 klicks was a small civilisation, and by small it meant about 10 to 20 buildings, rather small, the thing that might have made it important was another wookiee habitation was near it, about 15 klicks north and about 5 klicks or so up, he had flown over it in fact: Kashiro, a major area in the end of the clone wars. Something else he made note of was the lack of humans. Ever since the empire had start taking wookiee slaves they had set up garrisons on many large area and had a presence in every city, even the small ones but this one was untouched. Nothing else around him except for some miscellaneous life forms that were native to this planet. With that he began his trek to towards the city.
It took him almost 12 hours, not because of the distance per say, but because the only thing worse than falling to the bottom of the jungle was getting a bunch of other creatures royaly torqued off. Finally he arrived and as he overlooked the area it looked almost like most wookiee civilisations except for the lack of a landing pad. He blinked and allowed part of his visor to zoom into the city. According to his crono it was 1545 meaning it should be bright as day, but the wroshyr trees did not allow much sunlight threw. Overlooking the open areas he saw a few wookiees moving around and some of them taking up the vines and heading out to hunt, a few areas on one of the open floors had venders, but from the looks of things they mostly just ate and talked like a native colony. Activating the jetpack he flew over, and as he suspected it did not take long to be noticed, before he touched down the 15 or so wookies that had been in the promenade were already waiting for him to land, they did not act hostile, in fact they almost looked like they were looking to welcome him. As he landed down one of the wookiees stepped forward, a good twice the size of boba stepped forward Roared in the air and picked him up heaving him off the ground then hugged him. to be fair for a wookiee it was gentle... the armor stayed intact. A few others began to do the same when one of them barked loud and the others began to look aroung and "umphs" and "arrrgs" began to float around. Blinking at a yellow dot in the visor it began to translate (not normal for most mandalorian armors but for the purpose of the mission he added the feature ahead of time).
"This is not him"
"Of course its him, the armor, the look"
"But look closely, its smaller armor, not to mention it can fly"
"He had many brothers, maybe he modified one of their armors"
Boba finally interrupted "I'm looking for this wookiee, do any of you know him" Pulling out a hand held holo emitter in his right hand and prepping the flamethrower in his left he activated the image. This seemed to confirm to the wookies that he was not who they had originally thought he was and began whispering. Suddenly one who had lifted him spoke up. "He lives in the shadowlands" This brought a moment of silence from the wookiees, followed by confusion. "Please remove your helmet, son of jango" he said. Boba hesitated, he never removed his helmet on a job if he could help it, but this wookie knew what he looked like anyway so he removed it. "As I thought you and he whom we have been expecting are brothers, the one you seek is with him in the shadowlands, far far down, and we all owe your brother a debt, now go of you truely wish to find him." The wookiees around were silent, but nodded in achknolagement. Now this kind of... reverence and unity was odd among wookies for the most part, however wookiees were loyal and if they owed another clone, they were likely not lying. Most bounty hunters would leave the shadowlands alone, but when boba began a mission he finished it. So he replaced his helmet, nodded to the group and began his decent. His gut began to scream danger. He smiled.
just a touch conveniant i know i know, not my finest hour but it works, feel free to leave comments.
