Location: Zeltros
Zeltros had a reputation which preceded it; it was the planet which was known throughout the galaxy as the hedonistic holidaymaker’s dream. The planet was in almost constant revelry, valuing parties, drugs, alcohol and having an emphasis on sexuality, it was a wonder the people here managed to get anything done. It was a culture shock to say the least and it was one of the last places one would expect to find a Jedi and yet behind all the wild parties and freedom there was a darker side, no matter how much it was concealed with this fiesta facade, which had led Reuben there that day.
There had been concerns about the increasing number of Zeltron women going missing, a scenario which had been seen time and time again, mostly with species valued for their grace and beauty, most notably twi’leks. With the number on the rise, an intervention had to be made since all evidence suggested that the events were connected and thus needed to be investigated. Although Zeltros was an independent planet, so intervening likely wouldn’t benefit the Galactic Alliance or even the Order directly, hopefully something could be achieved that would benefit the individuals involved and make a difference to them which was ultimately what Reuben believed the Jedi should be about.
This would be the first mission he had ventured alone since the disaster that was Kubindi back when he was five years into his padawan training, the mission that scarred him in more ways than one. He would never regain his sight and it took a long time for his confidence to recover too but now he felt prepared for whatever Zeltros had to offer… Or so he thought, up until the point at which he irked the gang who were behind the kidnappings by helping some of the women avoid capture- apparently the slavers weren’t keen on that.
Thankfully, most people were in too much of a drunken stupor or simply didn’t care enough to get involved in the predicament which was unfolding in the bar. “What do you think you’re doing?” A gruff voice asked angrily as he pressed the barrel of a blaster into Reuben’s side covertly since they were standing so close at the bar. Reuben was unfazed however, he would be able to sense when there was any real danger and knew he would react in time to stop it. “Is that a blaster or are you happy to see me?” He asked casually. “Outside, now!” The man hissed, grabbing Reuben by the arm and forcing it behind his back to lead him outside and Reuben let the man lead him even though he could've disarmed him the moment he could sense him pulling out a weapon. It would be to the slaver's own detriment that it wasn't obvious Reuben was a Jedi from his attire, it would be a mistake he wouldn't make again.
