Private A Sandy Rescue

[Taji Nelson]

On the world of Tatooine, Taji had heard rumors of a slaver capturing people to market them. Unamused with that idea, Taji had donned his Archer Garb. Equipping himself with all his gear he busted into the place where the people were being kept.

"Hands up, nobody move. This is a raid." Blaster fire came his way, but Taji was easily able to avoid it. Pulling back his bow he unleashed a Shock Arrow at each of the people. This knocked them unconscious by means of being electrocuted. Once they were incapacitated he made his way to where their prisoner was being kept. One slash of a Hard Light Weapon later and the door was open so she could get out of the room they kept her in. "Did someone order a rescue with extra cheese?" He asked, as he looked at her.

"I've got a transport ready if you're ready to go." He sighed, as he looked at her.

The apparently young witch had heard there might be more like her on this far away desert world. So she traveled across half of the galaxy to try and find them. Instead, she found herself caught by surprise and taken captive before she even knew what had happened.

Hearing the conversation going on outside of her dark cell, the white-haired woman knew what was planned for her. With the exotic looks she had, her value would be high in the slave trade and she was nothing more than merchandise to be sold.

Luckily they hadn't harmed her and while she was kept in the dark, she wasn't being tortured. Tied up and bound, but not hurt. Somehow, Lakura knew she would escape, she just needed to keep cool and the opportunity would present itself. That never happened, at least not as she planned.

A masked figure opened the door after she heard an altercation outside of the room and said he was there to rescue her. Being bound, she didn't move to avoid getting hit by his weapon and he actually didn't hit her with it. Standing up, he would see she was rather short and her eyes glowed in the dark.

"Lead the way."

Once he had led her to his ship, Taji smiled at her. He'd freed her from any bindings that were on her. "You know I could use a lab assistant if you were willing to do so," said Taji as he looked at her. "A lab assistant would be nice, honestly."

He sighed as he looked at her. Hopefully she would accept the offer he was making to her right now. "Working for me as a lab assistant and apprentice also ensures something like this would never happen again to you. You'd have my personal protection, and that of a team I'm putting together. What do you say? Are you in or out?" He held out a hand. If she was in, she'd take his hand. If not, he'd still arrange protection for her. Granted, it would not be as good as his personal protection, but still. She'd have protection one way or another.

The shy and not at all confident woman followed her rescuer to his ship and listened to his offer.

"How do you know I would make a good assistant? I have no knowledge of lab keeping. Apprentice? That would be nice. What kind of team are you putting together?"

He had only asked if she was in or out, but Lakura didn't even know his name. Holding a hand out to him to shake, it was the least she could do.

"Call me Lakura."

Bright eyes looked at him and she waited on his answers before she would give one of her own.
