 Lone Starr was eating some food at a space diner when a call came in from the Mule. Apparently one of the Hutts in the area had a mission for him. A shuttle went down somewhere on Kashyyyk and they needed a data pad recovered from one of the imperial officers on board. He ordered the Mule to remain in orbit around the diner space facility and he would meet them shortly they were to head to the planet and investigate. He quickly paid his bill and left. As he landed his personal ship on the Mule he quickly made his way to the bridge. The message was clear in it's mission but vague in who it was from. The voice was obviously a Hutt but which one was unknown. He sounded young, younger than any of the Hutt Lords. Either way, he had a mission to do and set a course for the Wookie home world and hit his hyper-drive. They broke hype-drive close to Kashyyyk and began scanning the surface for the ship. They had it's tag and quickly it came up as a faint pulse. The transport got as close as it could to the location since trees obscured the landing zone. He stepped off his ship with his Underslung Repeater hanging by his side ready for action and his heavy blaster in it's holster. As he made his way through the brush he was sure to be secretive and investigate carefully as he may not be the only one searching for the ship. |

The forest is thick, but a cloud of smoke is rising in the west. Perhaps it is the shuttle?

Starr contacted his ship and reported the smoke rising to the west. He climbed through the thick at the bottom of this jungle slowly making his way to the source. He hoped this would be what he was looking for and that it would be an in and out mission, but having done missions in the past he knew how quickly they could change. He finally reached the source of the smoke and stuck his head between some small grass to confirm.

He didn't see the shuttle as he expected. He saw campfire, with a very nervous and very injured Imperial officer clutching a blaster. The man was in no shape to travel, but he appeared to be trying to crawl away.

The officer had obviously tattered clothes and covered in injuries. Lone Starr wasn't certain as to why he was still crawling away so he kept to the edge of the brush and as quickly as he could got to the point closest to the man and said,
"I am Lone Starr and I was hired to find you when your shuttle went down. Are you okay?"
He was sure to stay mostly covered by a tree in case he spooked him and he opened fire.

*The man panicked. He had obviously had a run in with something. When he sees Lone Starr, he calms abit.*
"Oh, then you're here to get me off this god-forsaken hell-hole? Well, be quick about it, there are creatures around..."

"Yeah more or less."
He contacted his ship and ordered them to bear down over his position. He also told them to prepare the wench with a stretcher and crew to raise up the officer.
"Sir, two questions, where is your ship and what was chasing you?"

*The imperial. looked around quickly.*
"My ship is farther to the west, and I have no idea what's after me... It's a monster..."

"Okay sir we're gonna get you out of here."
As he said that his ship appeared above the tall trees and from the cargo hold that opened at the bottom down came a wench system with a couple of the medical officers.
"Sir, I need you to lay down here and we are going to put you out for a bit while we patch you up. Don't try to argue, you don't have a choice."
One of the medical officers stuck him with a needle and injected a pain killer and sedative and before the wench even had them into the ship they began to work on the man. Lone Starr radioed in to his ship,
"Okay I need the intel and security officers to search the man and find any datapads and make exact duplicates of them. Once that is done put the copy back where you found it only broken so he will think it was smashed during the ordeal. Also I will need you to stay over head and follow me until we locate his ship. Prepare the large cargo hold and fly the Winnebago outside if you need to."
The order was acknowledged and Lone Starr continued to the west in order to find the ship.

* As he approached th downed shuttle, he saw a trench through the trees, presumably from the crash. Starr approached, but he heard a guttural growl as he grew closer. He spotted a strange creature....
Without warning, the beast lept forward, attempting to kill Lone Starr.*

Lone Starr's first instinct was to kill but he quickly took intrest in this creature. He pulled his blaster out and it was loaded with a knockout dart. He took careful aim at the creature as he pulled the trigger. The creature flew through the air with grace and Lone backstepped so it would land in front of him incase he needed to shoot it with another dart.

*The beast appeared woozy, but lost none of its ferocity it raked at Lone Starr's chest.*

As the beasts claws came to his chest he felt some pain shoot through his body. Even with the wound he now had a prime shot at the creature. He pointed his blaster at the back of its neck and put another knockout dart into it.

*With the second dart, the beast was visibly slowed, but still kept coming. It lunged at Lone Starr.*

Lone Starr was now getting visably angry. Two darts would bring most things down for sure, but this beast was resiliant. As it leapt at him he rolled backward and put his feet into it's ynderbelly and its claw passed inches from his face. As it was over him he put yet another dart into the thing. As it moved forward he pushed his legs out to throw it farther away from himself.
