34ABY, Resistance Base, D'Qar

Several T-70 X-wing Starfighters emerged from hyperspace above the rings of D'Qar. Easily recognisable by its black and orange paint, Black One was Poe Dameron's customised X-wing. BB-8 beeped from the astromech socket of the ship.

"Yeah I know, we were lucky to get out of there alive," Poe replied to BB-8's comment.

"At least your still in one piece," Aljan piped up. The once young teenager had grown into a 26-year-old man who had risen through the ranks of the Resistance to Captain. He was part of Black Squadron, headed by Commander Poe Dameron, and had the callsign 'Black Two'.

"If L'ulo hadn't sacrificed himself then Terex would've tracked us back here and the Resistance would be on the brink of extinction," Kare Kun piped in as Black Three.

"This is Base One, please submit landing clearance codes," an communications officer communicated with Poe from the base.

"This is Commander Poe Dameron and Black Squadron, clearance code 7-3-Tau," Poe transmitted, "Requesting clearance to land."

"Black Leader, clearance codes authorized, you are cleared to land," the communications officer replied.

The several T-70 X-wings sped across the forests of D'Qar touching down on the tarmac of their base as marshals guided them in for landing before running off. Poe hopped out and observed the damage he had received whilst they were away. A gaping hole stood in the engine section of the starfighter. BB-8 rolled over to him and beeped in shame.

"Of course it's not your fault," Poe told BB-8 as Aljan ran over.

"Poe, is your ship alright?" Aljan asked looking at the gaping hole in Black One.

"I can be fixed, but it might take a while," Poe replied, "Terex really wanted me dead."

"Commander Dameron, General Organa requests your presence," an officer who had just walked up to him told Poe and Aljan.

Poe and Aljan hopped down the steps into the base's control room. Aljan looked around and saw his wife, Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix in the corner on one of the several computer screens. But Leia caught his attention.

"Commander Dameron, Captain Aljan, did you find anything successful?" Leia asked them.

"No, nothing, we only just made it back in one piece," Poe told her as she sighed.

"I don't know when we're going to find the last piece of this puzzle," Leia sighed in sadness.

"Oh, General Organa, you might want to see this," C-3P0 piped up as he walked to the briefing table where the others were standing.

"What is it?" Leia asked 3P0.

"An incoming transmission!" Lieutenant Connix exclaimed, "I'll try and decode it."

A hologram appeared on the briefing table showing the transmission of a cloaked figure, it spoke a deep and almost distorted voice.

"Lor San Tekka... piece of... to Skywalker," it told them as it broke up during the transmission, "On... Jakku, First Order... on way."

"I need to get there immediately," Poe exclaimed, "But, I need repairs."

"Poe take my X-wing, I don't need it for now," Aljan told him, "I'll stay here."

"Poe, good luck and may the force be with you," Leia wished him as he rushed out onto the tarmac.

Refuelling pipes stretched across the tarmac as workers connected them to Aljan's T-70 X-wing. BB-8 was already in the astromech socket when Poe arrived.

"Fix the coordinates in the hyperdrive for Jakku," Poe ordered, now in his casual clothes to blend in with the civilians if the First Order were to arrive.

"Poe!" Aljan shouted running over and laying his hand on his X-wing's hull, "Good luck, try to bring her back in one piece."

"You know I always come back, maybe with one or two scratches and dents," Poe replied, "I'll be back."

"Make sure you do flyboy," Aljan joked, "Hey, you know what my brother would say? May the force be with you."

"You too," Poe replied as the cockpit shut and Lieutenant Connix walked up to Aljan.

"Let's hope he finds a way to end the First Order before it gets even worse," Kaydel told Aljan.

"He's Poe, he'll find a way Kay," Aljan inspired, "He'll find a way to find Luke Skywalker."
