"Finding ourselves in the middle of the conflict, I saw no other way out than to try to reach the rim zones and try to encircle the planet, but it wasn't going to be that easy. X-fighters and ships droids were skimming at great speed passing us on our hulls, and all, under a constant rain of blasters.
We evaded the main conflict by staying away from the main fleets, but it didn't stop a couple of X-wings from targeting us. I did my best to avoid their shots, but the Sheathipede is not renowned for its speed, maneuverability, or weapon system. If I had to define it, it would be like a huge, slow and lazy target.
Finally, and not surprisingly, one of the fighters managed to hit us on one of the thrusters, causing our ship to catch fire in the rear as we lost fuel and power. I had no choice but to try to reach the orbit of the planet to try to reach the mainland, although I knew that it was not going to be a pleasant landing.
Fortunately we made it down before we lost all the fuel and the ship stopped working. Once the controls became unresponsive, we had no choice but to let ourselves fall through the planet's gravity. I ran to the back and checked on Kilo and Hina before sitting down and fastening their seat belts. I finally took a seat, and we braced ourselves for what was to come.
The impact with the ground was terrible. I remember the ship taking a hard hit and then spinning out of control on the planet's surface. I don't remember much after that, except that I hit my head several times, and immediately passed out.
I was unconscious for a while, until I woke up to Kilo's desperate voice yelling at me over and over again.
Kilo: -Rage. Rage. Rage! - I woke up groggy and with a headache, hanging by my seatbelt while Kilo looked down on me. - Rage. We have problems. You must come down immediately. -
Still dazed, and not realizing what I was doing, I flipped the safety and landed on my face before Kilo could warn me. Well, it turned out that the ship had tipped and I fell from one end of the ship to the other. Kilo helped me up, but he was very worried.
Rage: - Kilo. What happened? Where are we? -
Kilo: - It seems that we crashed in the tropical forested zone of the planet. I detect no sign of life nearby. But that is not the biggest of our problems. -
When Kilo said that, I was surprised, since the droid had never used the word "problems". Despite the countless dangerous situations we have been in. I looked at him strangely and Kilo moved away letting me see Hina. Who was lying on the ground, still wearing her seatbelt, but unconscious and with blood on her head.
The image alerted me suddenly. I rushed over to see what had happened to her while calling out her name over and over again. But in vain. Kilo caught my eye and pointed to the top of the ship, to a small compartment engraved with the medical symbol.
Without realizing it, and by mere impulse, I took a huge jump of more than three meters and took the first aid kit. At that moment I didn't realize what I had done, since my mind was focused on helping Hina.
I took Hina's head and applied healing spray to it. The wound closed and the blood stopped flowing, but Hina didn't wake up.
Kilo: - We must find a medical bay immediately. Or she won't survive. -
Kilo was right. Besides, I had no knowledge of medicine, much less Kaminoan anatomy. So with no other choice, I got out of the ship and looked around, but the sight wasn't very grateful.
As far as my eyes could see, the vast jungle into which we had fallen seemed to have no end. Getting Hina's huge body out of there was not going to be an easy task. But there was no other option.
I used the lightsaber to cut a rectangular section of metal from the ship and tied it with jungle vines. Kilo helped me place Hina's body on the metal plate, careful not to hit her head again. I used the seat cushion to make a makeshift bed to keep her from getting hit in road accidents. Finally, I tied her body with the same seat belts.
I looked inside the ship for all the provisions and flashlights that were there, and I put them inside a backpack that Kilo was going to carry. And with everything ready, we entered the thick and unknown jungle of Kiros. Dragging a heavy metal plate with Hina's body on it, and a sluggish protocol droid with a heavy load on top."
