Ask Tatooine Release The Dragon

[Oren Zapan]

​

Tatooine, for the third time in a few months Oren found himself on this scorching dustbowl of a planet. Maybe it was just all the memories of his own Master bringing him here to count sand or do something obscenely stupid and out of his hair while he rubbed elbows with the underbelly of the galaxy, or maybe it was the idea of catching more Jawas in the wild. Regardless, it didn't change the fact that if he kept coming here, he was bound for some sort of skin cancer.

But, matters like that could be worried about later, he was here on another 'field trip' or as he referred to them as, 'another trip to the council's chambers ', hopefully this time things would go a little bit better. But, seeing the particular students that were here, mainly one in particular, he was skeptical that it would go as planned. Luckily for the knight, he'd have a co-teacher with him.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Miss Vesper," he'd say with a slight smirk, as his eyes drifted towards the students who sat in a booth adjacent to them. "The force knows we're going to need all the help we can get with this bunch," he'd say with a slight chuckle.

[Ke Eoto]

The Blood Carver just stared back at Master Zapan, expression hidden beneath the elongated curve of his masked helmet of silvery-grey metal. The head covering gave off a slight hiss as the alien's breath was filtered through a respirator, four light blue lights glowed dimly in Oren and Vesper's direction.

"I welcome your scroo-tiny."

Ke Eoto finally croaked out in response to Oren's statement, the rest of his body was clad in a skin-tight black bodyglove and a protective layer of outer armored plates, silvery-grey like the faceplate of his almost-featureless helmet. During their journey to the planet it would become clear that Ke Eoto was a rather serious and humorless being, perhaps overtly so at times, although not without concept of jokes and some sense of when someone was serious and not. Being part of their Order was a serious matter for him however, as far as he knew he was the first one of his species to be able to accomplish so, as such he would do his best to complete his training as a Jedi.

At the time being though, in his generic suit of contemporary armor that did not hide the shape of his elongated and too-thin-to-be-human alien physiology, with a sheathed vibrosword propped up next to him and a long-barreled primitive hunting rifle resting over his lap, he looked every part of some wandering alien mercenary or bounty hunter that would frequent a planet such as this, rather than an apprentice in the ancient Jedi Order.

"And I thank you for bringing me to thiis plaa-net. My hoome is a desert woorld much like this, it has been some timee since I felt baaking sun and sand."

 

[Brahe Sienar]

Brahe was hanging out in the pilot seat of his land speeder, waiting for them to begin this little incursion. Looking at Vesper, Brahe couldn't help but blush and then look away, partially ashamed at himself. This was work, and Vesper was one of his teachers, not someone to hit on. He couldn't help but acknowledge though, that she was suuuuuper hot. There was no denying that.

Brahe's face went beet red and he crossed his arms, looking instead at a couple things he had stashed away in the "banshee". An E-11 blaster rifle, a Glie-44, 4 med packs (never knew when extra might come in handy), a rope, an extra set of clothes, a blanket, a knife, and enough food and water to last 3 days, if they got stuck out there in the desert. It never hurt to come prepared, especially for a field trip in the middle of the desert.

Brahe had also parked his TIE at a nearby hangar bay, but if he really needed to, he had the thing slaved to his datapad, ready to fly to him on autopilot if necessary. It definitely didn't hurt to bring that either and call for aid, in case using the speeder didn't work out.

Last but not least, Brahe's ID droid sat, idle inside of the speeder on a charging station, ready to deploy as well. Redundancies were always a good idea on such a dangerous backwater planet after all. It helped keep one alive.

Brahe himself was wearing his usual Jedi robes- a design that offered a good amount of mobility over the standard getup that most Jedi wore. He had almost decided to show up in his pilot suit, but had figured that for Tatooine at least, it was too hot to wear the thing.

Yawning, the padawan closed his eyes and kicked up his feet, waiting for the others.

[Astra Calloway]

"It's so hot!" Astra complained before groaning and putting her head in her hands. She was more acclimatised to the milder climate of Dantooine and had never been to Tatooine before so it was a shock to the system and she wasn't one to keep quiet.

The padawan didn't know the other Jedi that accompanied her but was grateful for the short period of respite it would grant her away from her own master who she was eager to please, meaning she could finally not feel like walking on eggshells all the time. This mission would also allow he to watch other knights in action and see if their philosophies were different to Kraud's as she disagreed with her master but was unsure how to raise the issue.

Astra pulled a small bottle out of her pocket and poured some of the content into her hand and then generously applied it to her face and hands as they were the only parts of her exposed to the suns. "Does anyone want any sunblock?" She offered the others in the group, though it seemed Ke Eoto was already sorted. She returned the bottle to her pocket and pulled out a pair of sunglasses to put on. "Let's rock and roll." She announced once she was prepared.
