Jedi01

Meeting the Captain

Brotos was both excited and worried. Finally, he got to a rebel base, but could he trust them? With these thoughts in mind, he landed the x-wing like the others around him. He pressed the cockpit button that opened the cockpit to the outside. He climbed out like a clumsy boy trying to climb down a tree. He looked around fascinated. There were many robots walking, skidding, moving around, and many people bustled around busily. A young boy, about his age walked up to him.

"Hello there, I'm Dominic. You were…"

"I'm Brotos."

These words barely passed the lips of Brotos. He was awestruck! One of the pilots that had taken out the tie fighters swiftly and gracefully was just a boy like him!

"Come with me Brotos. I'll take you to the Captain of our base. He's a very nice man."

With this, Dominic took Brotos into a wide corridor. They then came to a wide doorway with a strong metal sliding door. Dominic pressed in some numbers into the small key pad that was near the door. The door opened immediately and the two stepped in.

"What is this?"

"It's an elevator."

"Oh…"

Pssss

The door opened as the elevator came to a halt. They entered a circular room. There was only one desk in it. Sitting at the desk was a brown headed man. He was scratching his mustache.

"Hello, Hello. Dominic, who have you brought?"

"This is Brotos from the mines of Gangisa. The rebel base there has fallen to the Empire and his father, Utria has died."

Tears started foaming in the captains eyes. He grabbed Brotos's hands.

"So…you're little Brotos that I last saw. You've grown a lot. My name's Vernon, although everyone here calls me by captain. Your father and I…were best friends. He was the loyalist…Rebel engineer. He was the best engineer. I'm glad he died fighting for the Rebels."

He said this choking on words. Then Captain Vernon straitened up. He wiped the tears from his eyes. Although his voice was back to normal, his eyes showed much pain.

"Dominic, take this young man to your room. The top bunk should have been opened. Brotos, tomorrow we will start training you and show you the base."
