All my friends are Heathens. Take it slow. At least, that's what Noah told himself.
The Insurrection was over. The "Children of Rondan" had one. They simply had the numbers and the will to push ADI off Rondan. Now her people lived and suffered under the oppressive and sadistic regime of Zeh Kando. The maniac zabrak had all but broken the spirits of every native Rondani citizen, as well as any off-worlders. Noah had made it back to Rondan from shore leave just as it came to a head. He and those aboard the transports scattered and became separated. The reporter was still around, somewhere, seeing what the new regime was like. Noah - he was just trying to keep as low a profile as possible.
He passed a couple of armed thugs and pulled his hood further over his head, trying to cover his face as much as possible as he ducked into another alley. The city and it's people were in ruins around him, the sick and homeless practically lined the streets or wandered as they fought over scraps of food and clothing. The Rondani winter was setting in, and the arid climate meant stagnantly frigid air and no way for the heat to be held during the night. When ADI landed here, it had been the monsoon season; a time of intense storms and flooding rains. Now it was business as usual with little-to-no humidity and blasting bright sunlight. Air funneled through the alley and created a draft that bit at Noah's nose, his breath billowing past his cheeks in white clouds.
He needed a ticket off this rock. He needed to get home. The new regime was brutal, and he didn't need to die. It was too soon for him to die, and he would be damned if it was amongst murderers, psychopaths, and these endless freakshows.
Heathens. Every single one of them.
