The ship lands in the middle of a wasteland, with sharp spires randomly sporadically throughout. A sandy haze covers the air. Obi-Wan hands Ikase a small device. "Here. Take this blaster pistol, and for goodness sake, stay on the ship." He gets off the ship, and Ikase watches him cautiously walk along the surface.

Obi-Wan headed in the direction of a nearby cave, using his arm to shield his eyes from the dust. Before he made it even halfway there, Ikase walked up behind him, holding his blaster with both hands. Ikase whispered, "I have a question. What do Clones look like?"

Obi-Wan whispered back, "They all wear white armor, with helmets completely covering their faces."

"Oh."

"I have a question for you now."

"What is it?"

Obi-Wan raised his voice to talking-level. "Why didn't you stay on the ship?"

"I wanna heeeeeelp" Ikase answered.

Obi-Wan sighed. "Fine. Just stay close to me."

"Yes!" Ikase said excitedly.

The two reached the cave and quickly entered it. The clear air in the cave was a welcome change from the dusty outside air. What was a cave on the outside suddenly became the interior of a building, with high ceilings and shiny, red tile floor. What Ikase could only describe in his head as a really creepy giant bug creature approached them.

"Are you the Jedi we sent for?" it asked.

"Yes," Obi-Wan replied, not sure if it was referring to the both of them or only to him. "I heard you have a Clone Trooper problem."

"That's right. I spotted a small group of them near the old Droid Factory."

"Just as I suspected..." Obi-Wan said, putting his hand over his mouth, thinking. Ikase began to feel uncomfortable carrying a blaster. He looked down at his waist and noticed and empty holster. He put it there, and then looked to Obi-Wan's waist, noticing a strange silver device in his holster.

"They must have come to retrieve resources from the Droid Factory after they lost it," Obi-Wan continued. "How many of them were there?"

"I saw four, but that doesn't mean there weren't more of them. If they are here for resources, they aren't going to find any. It was our factory, not theirs, and it's already been stripped of anything of value."

"Maybe they're investigators!" Ikase chimed in. "Since they lost it, they're trying to figure out what went wrong."

"Maybe," Obi-Wan said. "That would explain the low number of Troopers.

"Yes!" Ikase said, fist pumping. He pulled the hologram screen back out of his coat pocket and began typing on it again, and taking pictures.

"We should head to the Droid Factory and try to pinpoint their location."

"Good idea!" Ikase said, happy that Obi-Wan seemed to have forgotten that Ikase wasn't supposed to be on this mission.

The two made their way again across the dusty surface of the planet until they reached a large spire. An entrance was located at its base, and inside, they found a massive room that was almost completely empty. What little machinery remained was in ruins. Rocks and machine parts were scattered about the ground. Obi-Wan sensed something behind him, but before he could reach for his weapon or turn around, he was knocked unconscious. Ikase looked down at him and says, "Really? What happened to using the Force?" He, too, was then knocked out.
