Asalla sits down in the drenched grass and tries to forget her dream. She can feel the gaze of another but ignores it and pulls grass up from the ground between her fingers. Rain still pounds on her head but she doesn't care. Asalla just cannot get her dream out of her head. Why is she having all these thoughts of her parent's death now and not when she was young? She sighs and stands up again walking around camp tracing her fingers over top of the tents. Asalla's steps are as light as a feather that even an animal with excellent sense of hearing wouldn't be able to even pick up the sound of her walking.

Lieutenant Kix keeps an eye on Asalla through his rifle scope, despite the distortion caused by the rain. He continues chuckling to himself about Spike going to raid the cantina in the middle of the night. He takes a short break from monitoring the area and checks on Calin and Jen who are out cold in the gate commander's quarters, Jen in the bed, and Calin in the recliner. He taps Calin on the shoulder. "Hey Cal, it's your shift for watch. You want to wake Jen or should I?"
"Nah, I'll do it." Calin stands up and starts quickly putting on his armor. "Anyone else up?"
"Just me and Shade, on the perimeter watch. I think Spike should have drunken himself insensible by now; he's still in the cantina. That togruta padawan is sitting outside in the rain."
"Right. Well, you should go let Shade know that we're taking over." Calin moves over next to the bed.
"Copy that, boss. See you shortly." Kix leaves the room, and heads back into the command center, as Calin leans over the bed, and gently taps Jen on the shoulder. "Hey Jen, time for our shift." Jen yawns, and rolls over to look up at Calin. "'k. What time is it?"
"Quarter to four. We've got another three hours until dawn, although I doubt we'll actually see any light, what with this storm overhead." Jen rolls out of bed, and starts getting her armor on, while Calin helps. Once she is armored up, they exit the room, where Kix and a very sodden Shade are waiting for them. Kix smirks at them as they come out. "You two took long enough." Calin ignores the jibe, although Jen glares at Kix for a few seconds. "Go away, Kix." Kix's smirk grows, and Shade also begins to grin. "Well, we're off. Hey, anyone know where some ponchos or other waterproof materials are? I don't want to end up like this sap." Kix gestures at Shade, who has a puddle developing under his armored boots. Calin smirks slightly at the question, but remains silent. Jen, on the other hand has an evil smile on her face. "Sorry Kix. Any waterproof materials we've got would be in the main base. Looks like you're screwed." Kix sighs. "Oh well. You ready to go, Shade?"
"Yeah." The two of them exit the gatehouse, and move as swiftly as possible down the stairs, and then dash across the muddy courtyard to the main base.

Master Kote woke up after feeling a disturbance in the force. He slid out of his bed, well more of a mattress than a bed really. He reached for his boots and picked up his lightsaber. After attaching it to his belt he stepped out into the cold downpour of rain and moved toward Claw and Rex's tent.
Master Kote: "Hey Claw, Rex are you guys up."
Rex: "Well we are now."
Claw: "What do you want Sir."
Master Kote: "I need you."
Claw yawns and gets up off his mattress. Rex stretches out on his bed and gets up also. The two strap on their armor plates and put on their boots. Quickly grabbing their DC-15 blaster rifles they meet Master Kote outside.
Claw: "Yes General, what do you need us for."
Master Kote: "I was awoken with a disturbance in the force. I don't have any details but that is is close.
Claw: "Then we should probably check the perimeter of the camp to be safe."
Claw, Rex, and Master Kote walk toward the soldiers tents near the perimeter. As they walk by the don't notice anything unusual or out of place.
Claw: "Sir this is strange, we should have found something by now."
Suddenly Master Kote feels the disturbance again and runs off in Asalla's tents direction. Claw and Rex rush after him.
They catch up to see a crying Asalla sitting in the mud. Master Kote walks up to her.
Master Kote: "Asalla what is wrong."

Calin aims his rifle out of the firing slits in the gatehouse command center, watching the forces encamped around the base. His targeting reticle comes to rest on Master Kote, after tracing over Commanders Claw and Rex, and touching on Asalla. As it rests on Master Kote, Calin flashes back to the night the Republic fell. The night when smoke filled the skies over Coruscant. Operation Knightfall. After a couple of seconds of his standing there frozen, Lieutenant Jen walks up and taps him on the arm. "Hey, you okay Cal?" Calin shakes his head as if to clear it, then turns to look at Jen. "Sorry. Just got reminded of the Temple." Jen makes a face. "Yeah, I still have occasional nightmares about that drop." Calin returns to gazing out of the firing slits, and Jen sits at the commander's console, monitoring the bases security.

Asalla looks up at her Master with rain running into her eyes,
Asalla: Nothing. I was just thinking. You guys go back to bed I'm fine.
She pulls more grass from the ground. Then her muscles tense. Asalla was still being watched. She stands and squints in the distance. Her vision zooms so fast its a blur at first but then she sees a man with a rifle aiming at her. Asalla's eyes widen and she does a split onto the ground thinking that the stranger will shoot her. Water drips off her body and she gazes ahead. Asalla wished she could get closer fast enough so she wouldn't be seen. But how? She wracked her brain trying to figure out how she could accomplish such a thing when she got a pain in her spine.
Asalla: What....
She tried to be silent but it felt like her back bone was being stretched like elastic. Her head started pounding, too. Her entire body tingled and she groaned but it didn't sound like her voice. What the heck is happening to me?! Asalla asked herself panicking. She could feel her legs elongating and she laid face flat on the ground. Her ears felt like they were being stretched as well. Asalla's entire body grew. Then it stopped and Asalla lay motionless. She huffed and looked down at her self. Asalla felt sore but when she saw her hands, her eyes widened until they felt like they would pop out of her skull. Her arms were shrunken and covered in rusty fur with claws in place of fingers. Asalla felt her stomach churn. Asalla put her paws onto her face and felt around. Her face was protruded into a snout and her ears were pointed. Asalla sat on her haunches and looked behind her. She swished her tail. Her TAIL?! Then it hit her. She was a Cracian Thumper! (starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cracian_thumper)
Asalla gasped awake. She was still sitting in the grass with rain pouring on her head. It had been a dream. How did she fall asleep so quickly? She shook her head trying to clear the disturbing dream from her memory as she crawled back into her tent until her eyes slid shut.

Calin and Jen monitor the base and the surrounding area. The several other troopers standing guard on the walls keep watch from covered battlements. Faint klinks of glass can be heard from the cantina even as the rain continues it's torrential downpour.

Claw, Rex and Master Kote leave Asalla and head back toward their tents. It is pouring down rain and you can hear the mud being stepped in under their boots. As they're walking they talk for a while.
Claw speaks. "What do you think is wrong with her? She looks upset."
Master Kote looks at him and wonders himself why she is acting so strangely all of a sudden and replies.
"I don't know what is wrong with her but it must reflect on the force. She is most likely being taunted by the dark side of the force. She must overcome this on her own like how all jedi do.
They continue to walk back until they reach the tents and lay down in their mats until they eventually fall asleep.

Calin maintains a vigilant watch on the surrounding area, while Jen monitors the rest of the base from the commander's desk. The rain continues to pour down, instantly drenching anyone that is foolish enough to go outside without wearing fully waterproof gear.

Gwydion moves to the cantina as the rain begins to fall. He takes a seat at one of the empty tables in the darkened bar, and streches out with the Force to keep track of what is happening in the surrounding area. He watches as Lieutenant Spike enters, water pouring from his armor,and makes a beeline for the stored alcohol.

Now that the men are back in their tents, they just watch the rain pouring down in front of them. Awaiting it to end or at least lighten up a bit. After waiting an hour Claw and Rex lose their patience. "Ok Rex it's best we get some rain gear on and head out. We should go see if we can meet up with the others before tomorrow." "Yeah I would say that is a good idea" The two put on their rain "ponchos" and head out into the cold wet night. They head toward a small entrance in the base where there is light. They step into the small room and notice it is a bar. Looking over at a random soldier nearest to them Claw asks the man. "Would you please show us who is in charge here?"

Lieutenant Spike looks around the dimly lit room, and slowly realizes through his semi-drunken stupor that the blurry figure of a clone trooper is addressing him, as he is the only other person in the room that he can identify. "Erm... Major Calin ish in command. Lasht time I shaw him, he wash in the the gatehoush." Spike takes a swig of the Corellian brandy that is closest to hand.

"Thank you for the help"
After thanking the drunk, although he was probably to drunk to hear him. He went to go to the gatehouse.

Calin sits down at one of the desks in the gatehouse, and looks around the room, which is empty save for himself and Lieutenant Jen, who is seated at the commanders desk. Her helmet sits on the front left corner of the workstation, while her weapon rests on the right. Calin Briefly turns his helmeted head towards the door. "Someone's out there. That commander must have finally decided to stop by." Jen looks up at him, then over at the door. "Huh. Wonder what they want."

Claw opens the doors and walks in toward Calin and Jen. "Greetings I'm Commander Claw from the 999th legion division of the GAR. I'm here on behalf of my legion and General to meet you. What are your names." Claw chuckles and outstreches his hand toward Calin.

Calin and Jen look over at Commander Claw. "Right, we didn't bother to introduce ourselves earlier. I am Major Calin, commander of the Five-Hundred Fifth Specialized Infantry Battalion of the Eighty-Second Airborne Regiment, Five-Hundred-and-First Legion.." Calin nods in Jen's direction. "This is Lieutenant Jen, my second-in-command." Jen nods her unhelmeted head at Claw. "What can we do for you?"

Claw happens to show a small friendly smile across his face."Nice to meet you two. I came here to talk about some arrangements between our forces. It is very rare to find brothers out there in the galaxy anymore so long after the clone wars."Claw lets his head go down a little bit as he continues."Yeah after that war it was leave or be killed. Many good soldiers died that way ,and all of the blood was on the Emperor's hands but what did he care. I'm just happy he eventually got killed."Claw looks back up at them and asked.Could you allow us to stay here if we supply our selves. We like it here because it is a perfect place for us to stay. Away from most intergalactic traffic and nice looking planet."

Calin smirks. He pops his helmet's seal, and removes it, revealing his face, and the fact that he is quite obviously not a clone, given his Caucasian appearance and dark brown hair. "Brothers? I don't think so." Calin shrugs. "The war didn't matter to us. Managed to keep most of my soldiers alive, and carved quite a reputation into the enemy. Even gave the Jedi something to fear, especially after we left the Temple without losing a single trooper." Jen shifts in her chair, and Calin turns his gaze to look at her for a second, then turns his gaze back to Claw. "Yes, this is a nice, quiet planet. That's why we chose it in the first place. However, this base isn't large enough to house your forces. You're welcome to set up whatever you want outside the walls, as long as any stationary weapons you place remain pointed away from the base."

Claw hadn't noticed before that these were not clones, but recruited men to serve the republic in the final days of the clone wars. Claw remembered hearing news that the emperor was reliving clones of duty to replace them with volunteers."Thank you for your kind hospitality toward us. I will do everything as we have agreed. I'll get back to you after we finish setting up camp." Claw nods a farewell and walks out the gatehouse door. He heads down to his men and General Kote to give them the news.

Calin nods in response to Claw as he leaves. After the visitors have left the command center, Calin moves to the window, and watches as they return to their camp. "Hey Jen, do you find it a little odd that these guys haven't at least heard the rumors that used to go around about us? The way Wulf and his guys that went out on that undercover op on Kamino told it, the Cohort was something of a legend to the rest of the army." Jen nods. "Yeah, It's a bit strange. Everybody, everwhere had heard at least parts of the rumors. I mean, we even caught part of it during that undercover op on Umgul, where we were looking for those Separatist infiltrators."
"That's right. I'd almost forgotten about that op. That was the first time we took down a Jedi, wasn't it? Scumbag trying to defect to the Seps, and didn't take to kindly when we called him on it."
"Yeah, that'd be it, although technically, it was you that took down the renegade, after he threw me into a wall and knocked me out..."
"Well, I paid him back for that.I don't think the clean-up crew ever did find his internal organs..."

Claw continues to walk out toward his campsite. The sun has begun to rise in the morning sky."Amazing. I almost forgot what it was like to see the sky after being in space so long."He then goes and gives orders to set up a larger camp and to set up perimeter cannons."Ok lets move it, set up those cannons.""Yes Sir, right away.""Also make sure to not face any toward the base. They might thing we could be a threat to them. Remember they have allowed us to be stationed here"
"Yes Sir."Rex comes walking up to Claw and adds."So I assume it went well then.""Yes it did and we need to keep it that way. We should go visit them again while our cannons are being set up."Rex snickers. Then says jokingly."Great idea after you then."Claw looks over at Rex and sighs."How comes I feel you like to make fun of me.""Don't worry brother no harm intended.""Right then lets head out to give are friends a nice visit."The two walk toward the base while men set p the cannons and a few more tents.
