*Raine could almost sense the worry rolling of her buir when she mentioned Nar Shaddaa. She couldn't blame him, it was a nasty time in her life. JARVIS was definitely something she was curious about. But her buir was right, she needed rest and she was tired. The lack if sleep the night before, blood loss from her injury and the pain from her am was taking its toll.* "I think I'm just going to sleep. Kinda tired after everything."

*Raine narrowed her eyes at her buirs response. His response lead her to believe that he was dodging the question and didn'twant to give the actual answer. Then again, she was in a lot of pain and on painkillers. Maybe she was just reading into it wrong. She rolled her eyes when he playfully hit her beneath the chin, all the while trying her hardest not to smile. However she did believe home when he said he'd hunt them down if he had to. That alone made her feel somewhat better.* "I've heard far worse things on Nar Shaddaa then just simple harsh language and shouting." *His next question peeked her curiosity as well. She had never heard of Jarvis before.* "I...don't know. Something of Eimhin's probably. I wasn't paying a lot of attention."

*Inflammation? Well her arm was hurt bad, it wouldn't be surprising if it swelled some. Her buir was right though, Roisin would Know what to do about her arm. A small grin the formed on her lips.* "Fee is going to kill you. Or just give you the stink eye for a while."
"It really hurts." *She knew the question on how she escaped was coming.* "They were Zygarrian, I only know that much. Worst pirates I've ever met. I was knocked out when they took me. When I woke up, I was just laying the cargo hold, not even locked in a room, just handcuffed. I stole the key from one of them and got free." *She winced as her buir started cleaning her arm.* "I managed to get the cargo bay doors open. That's when I was attacked by a Trandoshan. I didn't have to fight him though, cause we got knocked out of the cargo hold by some crates. I managed to land sorta safely in a tree. The Trandoshan..not so much." *Her buirs last question sounded kinda odd to her. Not the question itself, but how he asked it.* "No. Well other than knocking me out. Why?"

*Raine wasn't one likes to be carried, but right now was an exception. She let out groan and rolled her eyes when her buir was going to blame her brother for the dent on the ships nose.*
*She laid on the bed and watched her buir rummage through cupboards to find what he needed, or thought he needed. As he did, Raine glanced down at her arm and really looked it over for the first time. Several long deep gashes ran the length of her arm, three puncture marks were close to her elbow. The worst part wasn't just the pain, but the fact that she couldn't move her arm at all. Focusing her mind, she tried to bend it at the elbow, unfortunately the best she could do was move her pinky finger.* "Buir, my arm won't move."

*With the help of her buir, Raine finally got her footing. She felt terrible now that the adrenaline was wearing off. The only things keeping her going was the painkiller and the thought of going home. That hope was almost dashed away at the sight of the incoming ship. She peeked around her buir when he mentioned Eimhin's name. There he was, much to Raine's surprise, standing on the boarding ramp. Between how tired she was, the pain in her arm and the painkiller in her system; Raine wasn't exactly sure what was happening. As confused as she was, she followed Lorcan up the boarding ramp.* "Buir, am I actually dead? Or are the painkillers getting to me? Cause I'm not exactly sure what's going on right now."

*A wave of relief swept over Raine at the sight of her buir. She wanted to run out and meet him, but her legs were far too shaky for that. Instead she returned his hug and let him begin patching up her arm. The entire time he worked, her buir rambled on, leaving her very little room to speak. Wiping the tears out of her eyes, she tried her best to awnser each question as fast as Lorcan was asking them.*
*Lorcan brought up a very good question. Where did the nexu come from.* "I don't remember the pirates having one. There is a collar on it, maybe it went feral." *She nodded her head in agreement when asked if her injury hurt. The sudden needle in her arm caught her off guard, causing her to flinch. The medication slowly began to do its work, it didn't eliminate all the pain, but did bring it down to a tolerable level.*
"Trust me, I don't want to do this again." *She hugged buir tightly as if afraid to let him go. "I think I can manage." *She started to stand, but almost fell over. The adrenaline had finally wore off, the blood loss from her injury and the pain medication all seemed to hit her at once. She struggled to stand up straight, but eventually made it.* "Maybe I'll make."

*Raine was starting to lose hope, considering her current predicament. Her right arm was in excruciating pain and completely useless from the elbow down. The door to her only safety wouldn't shut. To top it all off, the nexu was preparing for another assault on the container. Raine wasn't entirely sure how much strength she had left, but she braced herself for the next attack, she had to if she wanted to live. The nexu howled in anger as it prepared to leap, a leap that never came. A blaster shot rang out and the nexu's fearsome howl turned into a shriek of pain.*
*Silence filled the forest, the only sound Raine could hear now was her heart beating rapidly inside her chest. She was unsure what happened, did she really hear a blaster other than her own? What happened to the nexu. Her gaze turned to her arm. The sight caused her stomach to clench in a knot, it was bad, really bad. Turning her gaze away from her injury, she peeked out of the crate. There, laying a few feet away, the nexu. She could instantly tell it was dead from the burn mark where it'seft eye used to be. The container slowly opened as Raine tried to see who fired the shot.*

That's why I mentioned a collar on this one. It's not just some random lose nexu.

*Raine woke the next morning both tired and sore. She slept in a very uncomfortable position amongst all the junk. That, combined with the bad dreams of the terrible beast outside, made for a long night. She couldn't remain hidden in the container forever, not if she wanted to get home.*
*The door to the container slowly opened just far enough for Raine to peek out. She scanned the area cautiously before slowly stepping out. Whatever it was from the night before seemed to have left. Her eyes panned over to the dead Trandoshan...well where it used to be. The beast from last night dragged it off into the forest. This made Raine's stomach knot up, unfortunately she had more pressing matters to deal with. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other as the call of nature seemed to grow worse by the minute. Giving one last glance for danger, she darted off into the brush.*
*Feeling a little more relieved, Raine hurried back towards the container. She clutched her rifle tightly and kept a watchful eye out for danger. With a sudden jolt, her senses gave off a warning of danger. Her head snapped in the direction of her container just in time to see something land on it. There, standing on top of the container, was a creature with white fur, four eyes and sharp rows of teeth. Raine's heart almost stopped when she recognized this animal as a nexu. The large predator eyed Raine before hopping down from the container. Now Raine noticed that the beast looked old, with a missing right eye, missing or cracked teeth and fur white as snow. The nexu was thin and sported the remains of what looked like a collar. Even at her age Raine could see the nexus was dying of old age.*
*Something in Raine's mind told her to move, she listened and dodged to the side just as the nexu lept. The animal just barely missing her as it hit the ground and almost stumbled. Raine was almost to the container, when her feet were suddenly knocked out from under her. She hit the dirt and rolled over just as a paw hit the ground beside her. As she raised her rifle, the nexu pulled to the side to avoid it, as if it knew what it was. Before Raine could line up the shot, the nexu bit down on her right forearm. Raine gave a yell as the pain shot through her, it was by far the worst thing she ever felt. Frantically, she swung the rifle around with her left hand and fired off a shot. With a howl, the nexu dropped her and backed off.*
*The pain was excruciating in her now useless right arm. Raine didn't let this slow her down as she stumbled into the container. She pressed her back against the door and tried to close it. Before it closed completely, the nexu slammed into it and started to force it open. Raine's right arm was to badly injured to hold the rifle, so she started firing less accurate shots with her left. To her surprise, she was rewarded with another howl from the creature, causing it to back away from the door. Raine pushed with all her might, but the door wouldn't completely close. At that moment, two questions ran through her mind. Where was her buir? And why wouldn't this door close?*

*Nightfall was now descending on the jungle. Hours at past and no sign of help was arriving anytime soon. In that time, Raine had kept her self busy by digging through several of the crates. The reason she had escaped so easily was starting to become clear, these pirates were terrible at their job.* "This stuff is all junk!" *Raine exclaimed as she tossed another fake piece of jewelry into a pile. Almost everything these pirates had found was either fake or junk. Well, mostly junk. She managed to find an A180 sniper rifle, a few charge packs and a survival knife. One crate in particular held quite a bit of food, clothes and assorted other items. She decided this was going to hide out till help arrived.*
*Raine sat in the doorway of the container, chewing on a ration bar and planning her next move. In reality, she was almost to tired to much else other then wanting to sleep. That was hard though in such unfamiliar territory. Eventually, she climbed into the crate and sealed it up.*
*A low guttural rumble woke Raine from her sleep. She opened her eyes to the complete darkness inside the crate. Her hand blindly felt for the small flashlight she found earlier, until finally the dark crate was illuminated with a dim glow. She heard the noise again from outside, this time only louder. Raine held her breath and listened very closely. She knew it was an animal that was making that sound. Whatever it was, it sounded big and hungry. A deafening roared from just outside her crate caused her to cover her ears. Her heart was pounding as she listened to heavy foot steps stop not far away, close to where the dead Trandoshan was by her guess. After several minutes, the sounds of the creature died off as it lumbered deeper into the jungle. Raine huddle deeper in amongst the stuff in her nice safe crate. There was going to be no sleep for the rest of the night, that much was sure.*

*The first thing Raine noticed as she gained consciousness, was the pounding headache, then the cold hard floor beneath her. She forced her eyes open and stared at the metal ceiling above her. Was she still on the ship? Her eyes panned down to the restraints tying her wrists together. She could feel her heart almost stop at the sight, then the realization that she was on a different ship. Frantically and fruitlessly, she fought against the restraints.*
*Movement a short distance off caught her attention. A large Trandoshan and the Zygarrian from earlier were busy pushing a crate up the ships loading ramp. Neither one seemed to have noticed her being awake yet. Slowly and quietly, Raine shuffled behind a crate. She had just pulled herself out of view when another, much heavier set, Zygarrian stepped out of the cockpit and yelled something at the other two in a language she didn't understand. Carefully, she peeked around the crate. There, resting in the waist if the larger Zygarrian, was a set of keys. She knew she couldn't sneak out to grab them, so other means were necessary. Closing her eyes, she lifted her hands and reached out with the force. A hundred things could go wrong, would probably go wrong. Today, however, luck was on her side.*
*The keys slowly relieved themselves of her captors belt and shot straight into her hands. Her excitement was short lived as the Zygarrian straightened and turned in her direction. There she lay, arms clutched to her chest with her knees pulled close her her eyes closed. The Zygarrian scratched his head then shrugged as he headed towards the cockpit. All the while telling the other two to lock her up. Raine cracked her eyes open some just to make sure he was gone. Then she began to use every key on the ring until she finally found the right one. With a soft click, her restraints came undone. Her spirts soared momentarily, only to be brought down by the sound off the ships engines winding up for takeoff, coupled with the cargobay doors closing.*
*She moved to the end of the bay where the doors were at. The control panel was nearby, unfortunately so was the Trandoshan. His Zygarrian companion had gone into the cockpit and closed it. Just leaving Raine alone with the big lizard. She watched him move across the room opposite of her, giving her the time to quietly sneak over to the control panel. There were a lot of buttons, buttons she had no idea as to what they did. There was no time to think it over though, and the best way to figure it out was to actually try. She hit one of the larger buttons in hopes it would open the door. Instead it released the magnetic locks on the cargo, causing it to start sliding around, much to the surprise of both Raine and the Trandoshan. Panicking, she hit another button, this time she was rewarded with the desired outcome.*
*The cargobay doors slid open and a large just of wind almost sucked her out. Raine grabbed the side of the door frame for dear life until she found her footing again. Panic filled her as the ship skimmed the canopy of the forest. They were much higher up then she thought. A roar of anger drew her attention back behind her. The Trandoshan had spotted her, to no one's surprise. What did come as a surprise was the Trando's full on charge. Raine instinctively backed up and almost fell out of the ship. A large reptilian hand grabbed her and lifted her off the ground. He hissed in anger and opened his mouth to speak, but a noise from behind caught both of their attention. One of the crates had broken free and was sliding at them in a hurry. Unfortunately for Raine, the Trando wasn't that quick and she couldn't get away from him.*
*The crate hit the Trando, carrying both him and Raine out of the freighter. Fortunately they weren't to high above the canopy. Raine hit the first branches and reached out instinctively to grab something. The first few branches weren't strong enough to hold her, then she landed on one that did. The impact knocked the wind out of her, but she held firm. The Trandoshan wasn't so lucky, he missed all the branches and hit the ground with a mighty thud. Raine clung to her branch for several minutes, gathering both her breath and courage to climb down. The climb itself took a better part of twenty minutes, but she made it, tired and shaking as she was. She slowly walked over to the crate that pushed them out and leaned against it before slowly sliding to the ground. Things weren't looking good, she was alone and lost in the jungle. Worst part was she didn't even know what direction to even start walking, or if her buir even knew she was gone yet. There was one thing she could say with all seriousness though.* "Worst family trip ever."

"Alright, well behave. I promise." *She was slightly disappointed that she had to wait to go exploring. The fortune part was that it shouldn't be a long wait according to her buir. She waved to her buir, then rolled her eyes when he pointed at the nose of the ship. Collecting Eimhin, she carried him back into the ship before shutting it tight.*
*An hour had almost gone by since their buir left. Raine was sitting on the floor using what force abilities she could muster to lift a small ball off the ground. This was both an attempt to practice her abilities and to entertain her brother at the same time. With her eyes closed, she reached out to focus on the ball once again. This time she was interrupted by a loud clang. Letting out a sigh, she opened her eyes and turned to her brother.* "Eimhin.." *She stopped when she noticed that it wasn't him. Another loud clang echoed throughout the ship, this time she noticed that it was above her. She stood up and listened, something told her it wasn't her buir.* "Stay here, Eimhin. I'll be right back."
*Leaving her brother behind, she snuck up to the cockpit. Carefully peeking over the control console, she could see two beings trying to force their way into the ship. One was a human, the other a Zygarrian. Raine ducked down quickly out of sight.* "Pirates?!" *She ran back into the galley and grabbed Eimhin.* "Come on. We gotta hide, or at least you do." *She quickly searched around before finding a small storage area. The space was just large enough for her brother to fit, but not both at the same time.* "You're going to need to stay here. Don't move, don't make a sound. Understood?" *There was no time to wait for his answer when she heard a loud clang and thud. She knew they were in. Signaling for her brother to be quiet, she closed the door, hiding him from sight. Raine darted away from the sound, she needed to hide, but where? She opened a door and found it packed with stuff. One of those things happened to be a DC-17 blaster pistol. She grabbed it and darted down the hall. Unfortunately she barely made it a few feet when the human pirate stepped around the corner. He had a shaved tattooed head and a thick scar that ran across his crooked nose. Both Raine and the pirate stopped in surprise.*
-Pirate- "Well look what we got here." *He made to grab at Raine, but was stopped short by a sharp pain in his gut. His face went from confusion to realization before he toppled backward. Smoke rose from a hole in his abdomen, and there stood Raine holding the blaster in both hands. She stared wide eyed in surprise at what she had just done without even thinking about it. A noise behind her brought her out of her shock. She turned just in time to she the butt end of a rifle stock. Raine never felt it hit her, she was out the second it made contact.*
*The Zygarrian looked from Raine to his dead comrade. He felt nothing for the man, except pitty at how easily he had been beaten. A voice from outside called to him.* "No. We leave the ship. We don't have enough man power and we're behind schedule as it is." *Leaving the dead pirate behind, he picked up Raine and carried her to a speeder waiting outside. Once loaded, they speeder headed into the jungle where the pirates vessel was preparing to take off.*

*Raine stood by her buir and stared at the scorch mark. She took another bite of the fruit she was holding before tipping her head to the side to examine the mark. The trip down wasn't exactly....fun. Although they did make it in one piece.* "Are you sure it was there before?"
*Her eyes turned to the jungle behind them. She was eager to explore, but unfortunately had to wait. Lorcan was heading out without them and they were supposed to stay in the ship. That bothered her, because this place was nothing like she'd ever seen before. So much to see and do, but that wasn t possible from inside the ship.*
*A soft sigh escaped her lips as her attention turned back to her buir. Guard duty didn't have fun. Then again keeping an eye on her brother in the jungle sounded less fun.* "No. I just got to keep Eimhin in the ship. And fight off anything that shows up, right."

*Her buirs explanation of what he called them finally sank in. Without thinking she said out loud what she had always seen them as.* "You mean arena monkeys, the ones that...they...have.." *She trailed of there for Eimhins sake. He didn't need to know what happened to them.*
*Even though her buir tells them to stop, she could feel his emotions and almost hear a sense of pride in his voice.* "I'm not sure how effective levitating rocks would be. Other then training I guess." *As they headed towards the planet, Raine began to wonder if she should strap both her and her brother in. The flight here wasn't exactly smooth.*

*Her buirs explanation made sense, why hold a planet if there was no reason to. She made a soft hum to show she understood what he meant. Instinctively, she almost swatted her buirs hand away when he ruffled her hair. As much as she didn't like it, she'd allow it this time.*
*She gave a faint smile at her brothers statement.* "I'm glad you're my brother." *His question made her frown in thought. She wasn't sure how to answer this one, or if there was even a right answer at all.* "I'm not sure if you do. I only discovered my force abilities by accident. There might be a way to tell, but I don't know what it would be."
*Her gaze turned to her buir what he called them.* "Spastic what?"

*Raine looked down at her brother when he asked what a Jedi was. Her eyes gazed out the cockpit window for a second as she thought on how to respond.* "A Jedi is someone who can use the force to enhance their abilities or manipulate things around them." *Then she remembered that Eimhin was three and what she was saying might be confusing to him.* "It's...kinda like magic I guess. The force makes up everything and that's what gives a Jedi their powers. Jedi are born with their powers, and their not very common."
*She stared out the window for a second before speaking again.* "I was almost one. But I left before I could finish my training." *She wrapped her arms around Eimhin and set her chin on the top of his head.* "I'm glad I left. Because if I hadn't, then I never would have found you guys....my family."

*Raine gazed out of the cockpit at the planet in the distance. An uneventful looking ball floating in space. To Raine, however, it was a new adventure. She turned her attention to her buir when he explained why they were hanging back. The reason was understandable, especially if the Jedi did control the planet.* "So...recon then?" *Then another thought struck her. Her buir had said if the Jedi were here.* "Why wouldn't the Jedi be here anymore?"
