Yuuka: If HK knew who she was, it would raise more questions on how does Reese know an Assassin Droid. Granted, now that she's kinda told Nadia a bit on whats going on, it wouldn't be too hard, but she's still glad.


Me, Atton, Nadia, Ayden and Kreia were all in the cock-pit as the ship pulled out of hyperspace.

We looked at all the other ships parked around the planet.

"Well, this is Onderon. It looks like there's a long line to get into the Iziz starport." Atton announced.

"Something feels wrong here." Kreia decided to put in, "A great disturbance here in orbit… and again on planet below."

"I guess this blockade is a symptom of larger problems on Onderon." Atton added, "Well, it looks like we're about to find out, anyway."

I looked at the controls to see a flashing green light. Atton started to press buttons, "I'm receiving a message from some Colonel Tobin. Patching it through."

"The Ebon Hawk." A voice spoke through the intercoms, "I was told to expect your arrival. I don't know what your business in on Onderon, but it ends here!"

"Grouch." I muttered under my breath.

Suddenly there was a strong jolt as some little fighters shot at the ship.

"We've taken some hits!" Atton announced.

"No kidding?!" Nadia replied, sarcastically.

"We can try to fight back, or I could out maneuver them and hide on that jungle moon." Atton looked at Nadia, "Your call."

"I'll man the turrents…" Nadia started before I cut her off.

"Are you mad? You can't fight them! What will that achieve? We'll still have to hide on Dxun and just have angry Onderonians with us for shooting their fighters down!" I exclaimed.

She glared at me, "Fine! Run for the moon." She snarled, still glaring at me but talking to Atton.

I glared back as Atton flew the ship, out-flying the small fighters.

Soon, we had (crash) landed on Dxun undetected by the fighters, when Atton swiveled his chair around.

"You know, just once, I wish that someone would be glad to see us. But no. If it isn't weapons pointed to our heads, someone's trying to blast us out of the sky." He told us.

Me and Nadia were still having our glaring match before she turned her back to me to face Atton, "How badly is the ship damaged?"

Atton started to fiddle with the controls again, "It's taken a little damage, nothing too serious. I'm shutting down all unnecessary systems until we make repairs. It'll keep up from being a target." He said as he flicked switches. The lights dimmed as he did so.

"Now what?" Ayden asked.

"The space battle's still going on overhead. Since they were so eager to use our hull as target practice, I doubt they're just going to forget us." Atton remarked as he moved to a different control panel, "I don't like it." He continued, "Onderon is as far from the core as you can get but still be in the Republic. But even out here, they've heard of us!"

"Makes you think that there's nothing interesting going on in the rest of the Galaxy." I rolled my eyes.

"We're lucky that I was able to find this place to land – looks like something has cleared away the jungle in a few spots around here." He said, looking out of the wind screen.

"Where'd we land?" Ayden asked, glancing out at the forest.

"One of the moons of Onderon. Not sure which one. It's mostly jungle and mountains." He told Ayden, "I did pick up the remains of an old outpost near here. Maybe that's why all these clearings are around. Maybe they were once settlements." He suggested.

Kreia, always the optimist, spoke up, "There were no settlements here. Those clearings were most likely once craters… or crash sites." She said.

"Crash sites?" Atton asked, sounding slightly alarmed.

"This is Dxun, where the Mandalorians began their crusade against the Republic." Kreia informed him, "The remains of whatever outposts you detected are military ones. We should be careful."

"No kidding." I rolled my eyes.

"This is where the Mandalorian War started?" Atton asked as he glanced out the viewscreen, "It doesn't look much like a battle field."

"Much is buried here… and there is much that should remain buried." Kreia informed us.

"Forget all about that! We need to get to Onderon!" Nadia interrupted the ever-so happy conversation.

"Well, until the ship is repaired, we're not going anywhere. Unless you can find another rout to Onderon, we should sit tight." Atton informed us.

"There may be the means to get to Onderon by another route. The force guided us here for a reason." Kreia said, "We should explore our surroundings. There is… something here."

"Something? Oh, there's something here alright - predators. Not small Flipdarters, but big, mean, nasty predators." Atton protested.

"Nevertheless, we should explore our surroundings… and that nearby outpost would be a good a place as any to begin."

"Fine." Nadia crossed her arms, a frown taking up residence on her face.

"Well, if you do go, be careful. There's no telling what other ships were forced down in that battle." Atton advised.

"Right." Nadia nodded before storming out of the cock-pit, "Visas! Get your saber! We're going for a walk!" she yelled out.

I glanced at Ayden and he sighed, "I'll stay and help Atton repair the ship. You, be careful!" he warned me.

"Sure thing." I nodded, "And I mean it this time." I said, then following Nadia out of the cock-pit.
