Yavin or Bust

[Iconis Black]

It has been about twelve hours after Rustag Bovruta, the young zabrak whom had heard from his family back on Iridonia that his sister was Force-Sensitive, sat anxiously down on his temporary bunk bed in the guest quarters given to him. Not even twenty-four hours ago, he had been working on board a freight ship for a wealthy trader moving crates of gems and stimpacks around and managing them. The man was a total pig, so Rustag quit after working for him for about two weeks, and found himself all alone with little money and nowhere to go on the bustling planet of Onderon, capital of the Galactic Republic. It was there that he called his family back home and learned of his sister on Yavin IV and decided to use all of his credits to hitch a ride with a mercenary and his Lethisk, called "Holy Wings" by it's captain, Kell.

So here he is, relaxing, when he had just learned that there was another passenger aboard the Holy Wings. "One o' dem arrogant Eldorai. Ya don't see many o' dem 'round. Mainly 'cause mos spacers like meself like to blast 'em, but da man had da moneys, so...heh!"

The captain of this ship sure is an outspoken man, Rustag thought.

The young zabrak proceeded down the corridor of the Holy Wings, deep in Hyperspace on it's way to the Yavin system, where he would see his sister and hopefully find somewhere to go in life from her. Wait...if she's Force-Sensitive, maybe I am. Heh. Would be pretty neat to be a jedi, I guess.

Rustag poked his bald, spike-ridden head into the room that the eldorai passenger was supposed to be in. "Hello? Anyone here?"

Faratain was tactfully keeping to himself in his cramped quarters aboard the "Holy Wings". He had made it off Kaeshana and, for the time being, out of the reach of the star queen. He wasn't sure his credits would get him this far, and now he was finally on his way to Yavin IV to learn how to use the force for good.

Much to his surprise a young zabrak's head appeared in his door frame

"Hello anyone there?" it said.

"Hello." Replied Faratain.

"What is it you seek?"

Rustag looked a bit surprised to find the man there. "Oh! I'm...sorry, I didn't know there were any other passengers until a few moments ago. Are...you a jedi?" the zabrak asked.

Faratain chuckles a bit, as he responds.

"No, I'm afraid not. But I hope to be thats why I'm heading to Yavin IV to recieve training from a Jedi Master"

 

[Iconis Black]

Rustag nods, "Ah, I see..." He couldn't explain it, but he could feel something about this...Eldorai that felt strange.

"Well, I heard that my sister lives on Yavin IV and is also a jedi. I'm just going over to visit her. Though, I might stay a while...i'm broke now." He chuckled nervously, taking a step into the doorway and leaning on the threshold. He ran a hand over his spiked scalp anxiously.

"I am broke as well I'm afraid" He replied. "Perhaps wewill both find what we're looking for on Yavin IV" Faratain gave the Zabrak a quick once over, sizing him up. "We should be approaching soon..." Faratain says.

 

[Iconis Black]

"I certainly hope so. I'm getting restless on this pile of scrap we're flying on."

Almost immedeatly after he said that, the captain's voice rang over the intercom. "I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THE HOLY WINGS IS NOT A PILE O' SCRAP, IT IS A WELL-MADE, PERFECTLY MODIFIED STARSHIP THAT IS THE ONLY THING STANDIN' BETWEEN Y'ALL AND YAVIN IV!"

Captain Kell sounded very offended. How did he...? Rustag thought.

"Captains and their ships..." Faratain thought to himself.

"You should secure your stuff, get prepared to land"...
