Lin-San Tseng's ship, an old Corellian fighter bought from a smuggler from her home planet of Retsam Way, landed in the infamous Mos Eisley spaceport. She put on her robe, with her hood over her head, and stepped into the area most known for smugglers and bounty hunters.
She left her ship in docking bay 94 and quickly found her way to the bar. As she entered she was met with many curious glances, but people and aliens soon went back to their drinks, all but three. Lin San went up to the bar and tapped the bartender on the shoulder to get his attention.
"What do ya want?" he said, turning to face her, "I'm busy here! Make it quick."
"I was just wondering about a rebellion. I have heard that one might be here." she replied coolly, staring the bartender down.
"Are you tryin to start trouble here? I ain't gonna tell ya anything. Now, do ya want a drink or not?"
"No, thank you." She said, turning around, her back now to the bar.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lin San saw three people move from their table and head in her direction. Unfortunately, she was distracted by someone else at the bar.
"Hey, do ya wanna by some Death Sticks?" he said, pulling an orange, glowing rod from the folds of his jacket.
"You don't want to sell me any Death Sticks." she said, calling upon the Force to change the seller's mind.
"I don't want to sell you any Death Sticks." he said, placing the stick back in an inner pocket.
"You want to go home and rethink your life." she said, again using the Jedi Mind Trick.
"I want to go home and rethink my life." he said and left the bar.
"You can't use that trick on us Jedi." a Mon Calamari whispered in her ear. She suddenly felt the tip of a blaster in the middle of her back. "Let's go."
Lin San was pushed outside and forced to go onto a transport. They sat her down and tied her hands and legs together, taking her lightsaber from her belt. They then blindfolded her and started to take her to an unknown destination. She felt herself being thrown many directions, so many that a few times she lost her balance and fell onto one of her captors. Approximately 45 minutes later, she felt the transport stop.
"Come on Jedi." Another person said, pushing Lin San out of the speeder and into a building. They set her down in a chair and took off her blindfold. "Alright Jedi, why were you asking questions at the bar?"
"I am sick of the Empire. They are trying to kill me. I heard that a rebellion was on this planet and I decided to risk asking around about it." She said confidently.
"Well, the rebellion is being planned, but we don't want any Jedi with us. Go and find the other Jedi across the Dune Sea. He might want your company, but we don't. We will drop you off by his house, but don't start asking about the rebellion again."
They put the blindfold over her eyes once again and led her out to the speeder. Two hours later, they cut her roped and pushed her out of the speeder, throwing her lightsaber by her hand. After waiting a few minutes, she got up and took the blindfold off of her face. She started walking and used the Force to call her lightsaber to her. As she looked to the west, she saw two figures in Jedi robes off in the distance.
