Luke woke up feeling cold, not only because his clothes were still wet, but he also felt a weird cold feeling inside, he didn't really know how to describe it. Luke groaned as he got up slowly holding his stomach, what was that. Maybe he had eaten something wrong yesterday.

Taking a glance around his surroundings Luke got out of his 'home' which was nothing more than a small house made from rotting wood he had been able to trade for some old shoes. Now it was leaky and really didn't provide him any shelter anymore.

Stretching Luke made his way to the fast, moving market in the undercity, already hearing the bustling and shouting of its visitors. Luke sighed, he really didn't want to go there, but he had to find or steal food today. He hadn't eaten in a while, and he was starting to feel weak. Luke gasped as he felt a sudden flash of pain go through his leg, as an old, not well healed wounded showed its ugly face again.

Luke groaned as he ignored it and made his way onto the market, keeping a good eye on his surroundings, not really feeling like walking into a battalion of Stormtroopers.

He kept at that for around 2 hours until he decided he might get lucky at a local bar and made his way there. Sitting down at the bar he was still very aware of his surroundings, nothing seemed off though. "What can ah get ya?" the barman asked as he walked over to Luke.

Luke, on instinct, looked away afraid he might recognise him. "Some food and water…" he muttered gaining an acknowledging hum from the barman, who turned away from him to fill his order.

Luke glanced to the man beside him, and noticed that the man had a big pouch of credits attached to his belt. If he could use that 'gift' he might be able to grab some credits from the man without him noticing, and might even be able to pay for the food for once. Deciding it was for the best Luke reached his hand out to the man's pouch and closed his eyes, concentrating on that strange sensation he always felt when he used his 'gift'.

Opening his eyes a little while later he smiled as he saw a few credits now lying in the palm of his hand. Just in time it seemed, because the barman turned back around to face him and put a plate of a unknown substance in front of him and a high glass of water. "that'll be 4 credits." The man huffed holding his hand out to which Luke handed him the money with a small thank you.

Digging into his food, Luke didn't notice someone sitting down on the other side of him, and was startled out of his food focused thoughts by a rough voice saying "Nice trick kid."

Luke froze as he almost chocked on his food, turning to face the man with a questioning look. He swallowed and cleared his throat. "I don't know what you're talking about…" Luke told him frowning, making the man chuckle.

"Oh, I saw ya alright, don't worry, it's our little secret. The name is Lenny, and I'm a pilot" Lenny said with a smile and held his hand out for Luke to shake. Luke sent him a glare though, if he was a pilot, and alive he was most likely working for the empire in some way. As if Lenny could read his thoughts "I aint working for the empire kid, but I can't really tell ya what I'm working for either" Lenny said, making Luke raise an eyebrow, maybe he was working for the rebellion?

A quick plan made it into Luke's mind, maybe Lenny could get him off of this planet. With that plan in his mind Luke quickly shook his hand, introducing himself "I'm Ben, so you're a pilot?" he asked him as he shook his hand.

Lenny chuckled again, his voice scratchy from smoking no doubt. "I am, a good one if ah say so myself! So how did ya do that trick kid?" He asked as he motioned to the left-over credits Luke had put onto the counter.

Luke thought for a moment crunching his eyebrows, he really didn't know himself how he did that. "I don't know, I just concentrate and it happens..." Luke mumbled, embarrassed that he didn't know. "Alright, can you use it for other things?" Lenny asked and Luke nodded, he could do more stuff, but he had to know what and where.

After a long silence, Luke opened his mouth to speak "Can you… maybe get me off this planet?" he asked looking down not wanting to meet the burly man's eyes.

Lenny stayed silent for a while before smirking "I can, but you'll have to do something for me first." Lenny stated making Luke look up. "Sure, what can I do for you?" Luke asked, interested in the deal, ready to do anything to find a way off this planet.

"Ya gotta help me steal some plans from the emperials" Lenny said making Luke freeze. Steal something from the empire? That seemed like a suicide mission. On the other hand, Luke wouldn't mind doing something to spite the empire. He thought about it for a moment and nodded. "Alright, I'll do it. What do you want me to steal?" Luke said and Lenny smirked. "Let me tell ya all 'bout it over some decent food." Lenny said getting up motioning for Luke to follow him.


Meanwhile on the Executor, darth Vader was pacing on the bridge feeling conflicted. The Force user he felt last night might not be who he thought he was. It had happened before, while he was still hunting the Jedi. If he connected to their force energy he'd get images from his past, feelings from his past. Like ghosts.

He growled as he balled his fists. How did that force user dare make him think of Padmé, or even make him believe his unborn child lived. How foolish of himself, weak. He stopped pacing to look onto the planet surface. He wanted to leave this wretched planet now, go back on his search for the rebels, to quench his bloodthirst.

He started pacing again, thinking until he froze, feeling a very familiar sensation through the force. It was that boy again. Vader growled wanting to push it away, but something told him not to and he reached towards it to see what he was up to.

"He's using his abilities…. Maybe he is worth considering after all…" Vader muttered to himself as he also felt a shift around him. He was planning something, looking for a way off the planet. Even if he wasn't the son of Skywalker, he still might make a good apprentice. "Prepare my shuttle, admiral." Vader said as he stopped pacing. "Yes milord!" The admiral responded quickly, going to work.
