Chapter 2
The Twilight exited out of hyperspace to give the passengers a view of the planet Manaara, its seemingly blue expanse covering the whole planet through snowy white clouds filling the sky.
'Well, here we are' said Anakin 'pilot, fly down and see if there are any landing platforms down there. Preferably without any droids, if you will' he said as an afterthought
'I thought droids can't get wet?' said a confused Ahsoka
'Quite right my young padawan, they would either rust or short circuit, But be mindful, they do have shields going all the way round the sides of the platforms in case any of them fell in, they would just be caught and not get wet. And when it rains, they just go inside their hangers. But hopefully, we should find one that has been abandoned, either they have collected all the Kolto or there wasn't enough to bother with' replied Anakin 'Any stores will have already been exhausted, but the droids will be close to the Hrakert Rift near the floating Ahto city because that's where the progenitor lives, which in turn makes Kolto. They send human slaves down to collect the fish and get the Kolto, and then sell it to anyone with credits'
They glided down to the planet then started skimming the surface, looking for somewhere to land. Looking out the window, Ahsoka saw lots of types of fish and water plants, but nowhere to land, or any humans, droids or any Selkath, the natives of the planet.
'We are sure this place is inhabited with more than fish aren't we?' she asked Anakin
'We aren't positive, but we have detected life forms and droids here, and it would be better if we weren't disturbed by anything' he replied back, also looking out of a window 'we should be close to something now; we've been here for ages'
'There sir!' said captain Rex pointing out the front window at a glint of metal just coming towards them on the horizon
'very good Rex, get your men and ready the supplies and containers' Commanded Anakin back to him, moving to get a better look at the platform, which was roughly the size of a imperial star destroyer 'what did I tell you snips, I knew we'd come to something soon! And its looks empty as well' Ahsoka rolled her eyes at his over-confidence 'don't forget we have to collect Kolto, not fight droids. Though if any did come along, a little fight wouldn't go amiss' she grinned mischievously
'Keep your mind on the mission snips, we won't be long here, just collect the Kolto and get back, the republic needs this stuff' said Anakin, putting on his Jedi robe and shouldering a backpack. Ahsoka copied his actions, getting her own backpack.
They landed The Twilight and they descended onto the ground, igniting their lightsabers as they did so in case there were any droids that were hiding from them. They did a quick scout around the area but there was nothing to be seen. As they went back to The Twilight they were silent in their own thoughts, thinking about this planet of so much water yet so little life.
'We've finished checking the area Rex, nothing so far. Let's go collect this Kolto then, the sooner we get it, the better, this planet makes me uneasy somehow' said Anakin, looking around 'yes sir, come on men, let's go!' replied Captain Rex giving out orders for his men to gather up their packs that carry the Kolto and any underwater breathing equipment they may need.
They set off towards the main building on the platform, looking for the medic bay. Anakin looked round when they reached the entrance, there were two possible ways to get into the building 'We're going to have to separate, I'll go to the right with Rex and others, you Ahsoka, take the left and take some soldiers with you. If either of us find the Kolto, then use the comms to contact us. See you soon' he said to Ahsoka, moving down the right corridor, Rex and other clones falling in behind them. 'Let's go guys' said Ahsoka running down the left corridor with her lightsaber in hand.
After running through endless corridors, the first thing of interest was an assassin droid, de-activated, slumped on the far wall of a room 'Wonder when that thing was last in action' she thought to herself, walking out of the room after making sure that the droid was properly de-activated, and keeping on going down the corridor looking for any signs of a medic bay. What she didn't notice was that there was something else in the room with the droid, a little creature, unnoticed by her, that was too small to do any bother, but big enough to accidently press a button on the side of the droid, turning on its lights and making it move its head towards the door....
Anakin was checking all the rooms when he finally found it, a white, clean-looking room with numerous beds on the walls and various other equipment meant for droids repair. The good sign was is that the room looked like it had been out of use for a good few months, bad sign was is that the cupboards and shelves were completely empty of anything, including Kolto.
'Well isn't this great, Ahsoka?' He said, turning on his communicator to find her 'yes?' she replied appearing on his wrist 'I've found the medic bay, but everything's been cleaned out, looks like it has for quite a while, we'll meet up at the entrance and see if there are anymore platforms around the area devoid of droids' he said to her 'I don't like all this sneaking around' she said 'why can't we just go and fight a platform? So what if there's a few droids on it' 'because, my young padawan, there would also be the Kolto collectors, forced into work by the droids and there is a chance that they would get caught in the crossfire. No, if we have to attack, it needs to be planned out properly with a lot more detail than just barging in. Go to the entrance and I will meet you there. Skywalker out.' He said turning to go out the room and heading towards the entrance 'She's right sir, what if we don't find any platforms that have Kolto and no droids, would we have to claim one?' Rex said to him through his helmet
'I'm not sure Rex, let's just get back to the ship and work this one out.'
Ahsoka turned her communicator off and started walking towards the entrance. She passed by the room that had the droid in it, she looked in, looked past then looked in again, the droid was missing. She ignited her lightsaber telling the clones to be on guard and started running towards the entrance, luckily, it was not far away and it wasn't long before she saw master Anakin standing in the doorway. He noticed something wrong immediately 'what is it Ahsoka?' he asked, pulling out his own lightsaber and igniting it also 'Assassin droid, there was one in a room back there, and when I walked past the room again it had gone! It must have been activated somehow as it sure wasn't when I last saw it' said Ahsoka breathlessly
'Right, lets scout around look for this droid, if it's a rouge one, then it's not as much of a worry, though if it's being controlled by someone.....lead the way Ahsoka, Rex, take your men and go down there' he said, pointing 'but be wary, assassin droids aren't called that for nothing'
