Aslan's POV:
When everyone ate and talked I slipped away to fix the ship. I went back to work and let my mind focus on the machine. I felt the way it moved, the way the gears should move, how the wires twisted and turned in my fingers. Before I knew it I was done and walking home with my tool box. I open the door with my elbow and walked through the living room. Seeing the youngling on the couch asleep with Skywalker holding her protectively, kind of like a father would hold their child. I chuckled quietly and grabbed a fuzzy blanket covering them up. I look up to see Jesse and Rex staring at me. I jump alarmed, "jeez, give me a heart attack why don't you." I whispered. "Where were you?" Rex asked. "I was finishing up the ship, I hate stoping in the middle of fixing a machine." I said softly as I led the clones to the kitchen. "That explains the stains on your clothes, but why did you just accept us in your home?" Jesse questioned. "Come to my workshop and I will show you." I answered giving a follow me sign. They looked tense I couldn't ease their tension until they saw why they could trust me. I opened the door and let them look around. "I have been keeping track of you guys, and wanted to meet you guys face to face one day. I hoped when that day came I would give you guys something that could win the war if you want." I said gesturing to the news clips and things like that. "Of course we want that." Rex said shocked and angry. "I have a device that will deactivate all droids within your facility, and if you know a place that your brothers are in danger you put in their coordinates and boom their all deactivated." I said hand them the device. "Why are you giving it to us?" Jesse asked. "I trust you will use it well. If you don't want it you can give it to the Jedi, I only have 3 of these devices. I'll make more but right now I don't have time," I said shrugging.

3rd person:
Aslan walks to his surgical machine and to fix it some more. "Go explore if you'd like, just watch where you step I am pretty messy," Aslan said tightening a bolt that looked really loose. "Thank you Aslan," Rex said softly. "Anytime, anyone is welcome here," Aslan said warmly placing the belt in the right place. Aslan heard the door close not far from him. Aslan stars to hum a tune and hears the door slam open. "How can I help you Mr. Skywalker?" Aslan asked calmly. The inventor saw Master Kenobi behind him. He looked back at his machine and tilt his head. He goes on the bed and lies on it, then He pull myself underneath the scanner that isn't on yet. Skywalker looks at him a Gerry for being ignored. Aslan bite his lips thinking on what the scanner needs. An idea comes up to him and he quickly get up and jog to his computer. "I would like to know how long you've had this droid deactivator." Skywalker said trying to contain his anger. "I invented it 2 months ago." Aslan said not taking his eyes off the computer. "For who?" Skywalker interrogated. "For the Jedi, for the republic what ever is good for you." Aslan calmly stated knowing he was being interrogated. "May I ask a question Mr. Aslan?" Master Kenobi asked. Aslan tore his eyes from the screen to look at him. "What are you working on?" Kenobi asked slightly interested. Aslans eyes light up happily, "it's a surgical tool to help people stay awake while in surgery without any pain, I need to update the scanner, make sure the laser is strong enough and that doesn't even begin the experimentation part." Aslan explains as he uses his fingers to keep track of what needs to be done. "Experimentation?" Kenobi asks on guard. "Oh I physically break my own bone and use it on myself so I know what needs to be done, how it felt being in the chamber, what needs to be calibrated, and if their is any pain during the process." Aslan said happily telling the Jedi of his lack of self-preservation. The Jedi didn't know if he should be horrified or relieved. "How long does it take for you to heal after the experiment?" Kenobi asked fearing the answer. "Oh, I don't make time to heal I just keep fixing it. What's a little pain to success," Aslan asked not knowing how crazy he sounds. "What do your people think about your experiments?" Kenobi asks. "Oh they don't know I do it to myself, they think I use droids or mannequins. Ha, I can't see if I do it correctly if I do on things that don't feel. What if I did it on a droid, they can't tell me if they are in pain, or if I need to turn up the velocity of the laser/scanner. What if I did and I bring it out in public and the machine hurts someone, nope I can't let that happen." Aslan ranted spinning in his chair shaking his head and glaring at the machine. "Alright I see why you do it." Kenobi said trying to calm the inventor. "I can't let my inventions hurt people, well except my weapons, they are made to hurt the droids and sith." Aslan said bitterly. "May I ask why this place just showed up not being seen on the star charts?" Kenobi asked completely changing the subject. "Well I crashed into this place years ago and never bothered putting it on the charts, this planet is a safe haven for all deserters, run aways, ex slaves, orphans, and so much more. People can live here without fear of being found here, because as soon as ships leave the planets atmosphere, there memory is wiped of ever seeing the planet and what you saw, that is until you come back. It's weird I know it just happens that's why the planet is called Deja vu," Aslan explained resting his head on the palm of his hand.
















Do you want Aslan to be with someone or some people? I am open to suggestions if that is what you want. Do you want Aslan to find a soulmate or is he going to be a lone wolf?
I'll put him with men, with women, with multiple people, I don't care.
