We headed out again. This time we had Bastilia, Carth and Mission going with us. We were heading to the droid shop. Tali had a new lightsaber, so now she had two. She took parts from the different lightsabers that belonged to the Dark Jedi. It had a purple blade.

"There's the shop." She said walking into the direction of the droid shop.

We entered the shop and was greeted by the seller.
"Hi, were heard that you had a translation droid and we are interested." Tali said to him.
"Ah, yes. It's just over there." The shop keeper said, pointing at HK-47.
"How much?" Tali asked.
"5000. No room for negotiation." The guy said.

Tali hesitated, "5000 is a bit steep. Can I persuade you to lower it?"
"4000. No lower." He said.
"That was quick. Sure, 4000 will be good." Tali said, counting out the credits.

The guy took the credits and then went to put the credits someplace. We walked over to the droid.
"Greetings: Hello new masters! Introduction: I am HK-47. How may I serve? Query: May I kill something for you, Master?" HK said.

"Wait… Kill something?" Tali asked.
"Answer: Why of course, Master! I have many ways of killing Meatbags and Meatbag animals although many of them have been erased." HK told us.

"You're an assassin droid!" Tali exclaimed.
"Can you speak Sand People?" I asked HK. I already knew the answer though.
"Answer: Why yes, Little Meatbag."
"What is with the Meatbag?" Tali asked.
"Answer: That is in my programming. Your bodies are filled with liquid and meat so there forth you are meatbags." HK answered.

"Come on. Let's go." Tali said, rolling her eyes.

We headed out to the gates. Tali showed the Hunters Licence that she got and we went through. We ran into a woman. Marleena Vaan.

"You out hunting? If you see my husband, Tanis, tell him I say hi." She said.
"Tanis?" Tali asked.
"Don't play dumb. I know you know him. I have had it with that scumbag and cleaning his droids so I cleaned his droids for good." Marleena spat.
"You sound like you're planning to kill him." Tali said.
"Oh, I'm through planning. Don't worry, if he's smart, he'll be able to get out of it. But he's not." She said. "Just tell him that his wife says hi." And with that, she left.

"Ooookaaay." Tali said, "That was odd."

We walked on a bit further and came across…dun da dun… Tanis Vaan!
"Hey! Is someone out there? Hey you! Can you help me!"

He was surrounded by four droids.

"Are you Tanis Vaan?" Tali asked.

"Yeah…"

"Your wife says Hi."

"Could you please help me? My wife rigged my hunting droids that If I move, they explode." Tanis said.

"Why would she do that?" Tali asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Something about not following the proper code of conduct. Does that matter? I don't know what Divorce means from where you come from but this seems a bit extreme, doesn't it?" Tanis pleaded.

"I say we leave him." Bastilia said.
"Such a pretty face for a cold person." Tanis said.
"I suppose we should help him." Carth sighed.

"Yes, yes! I knew I liked this guy as soon as I saw him!" Tanis said.
"On, second though, lets congratulate his wife." Carth said.

"Oh come on!" Tanis said, "Help a guy out, can't you?"

Tali sighed.
"I suppose I should help you." She decided gruffly. She walked over to a droid and opened the hatch. She played the message and sighed, "The things I do for the lightside."

The had fixed three of the droids up and went to the last one.
"How many explosions did you day you could take?" Tali asked Tanis.
"Ermm, two, why?" Tanis replied nervously.
"And I haven't made any explode yet. So, I think that since your wife went to the trouble of doing this. I think one explosion would be fair. I won't kill you. Just injure you." Tali smiled.

"Whha…" Tanis asked, nervously.

BOOM!

"Gah!" Tanis shouted. He was still alive, just a bit…crispy, "Thanks. I think."

He ran off. A trail of sand behind him.

"That man deserves much worse than that." Tali spat.

"Ah, well there is nothing we can do about it." I sighed.

We walked along and saw a path way to another section. It was guarded by sand people. They saw us and started to attack us. Tali activated her sabers and Bastilia activated hers. Carth and HK-47 got their guns ready. I activated my saber and the closest Sand Person attacked me. I brought my saber up to block the Gaffi Stick. I swung my saber around and I accidently sliced it straight through its stomach, killing it.

What…! No! I… I… No!

I froze on the spot. Not aware of the fact that there was still a battle going on around me. Not aware of the fact that I had dropped my lightsaber. Not aware of the fact that a Gaffi Stick just pierced my skin on my shoulder. Not aware of the fact that I had collapsed on the sand. Not aware of any pain. Only aware of the fact that I had killed something, a sentient being.

"Reese!" Tali yelled.

I did not respond. I don't think I even heard her.

"She's in shock." Bastilia told them.
"Is there anything you can do?" Carth asked.
Bastilia shook her head, "We have to get her back to the ship to see to her shoulder wound."

"Alright. Umm… Bastilia, take Reese to the ship. Carth, HK and I can handle this." Tali said. She picked up my lightsaber and hooked it on my belt. I was vaguely aware of being lifted in the air. I felt a suggestion in the force for me to try to sleep. I didn't try to fight it as I felt my eyelid draw heavy. Then I was asleep.

Hi there! Thanks for reviewing! If you want to see a drawing of Reese, go to my profile :)
