Iziz, Onderon, 7957 C.R.C

Following their defeat of the droids in base camp, the rebels and Jedi planned a covert assault on the droids stationed in the capital city of Iziz. Kaia sat next to Anakin on a cart that was being dragged by a Dalgo. On the cart they'd loaded Bantha skulls to make them look like hunters heading for the market. Caleb sat above the two Jedi Knights, wearing his brown cloak with the hood pulled up just like his fellow Jedi. Ahsoka was riding with Lux and Steela in the cart ahead of them and Obi-Wan rode a Dalgo next to the cart.

"I'm not sure I like this plan," Kaia said, narrowing her eyes as they neared the city gates that were being guarded by droids.

"You don't like any plan that you didn't come up with," Anakin pointed out.

"True," Kaia admitted. "Because my plans are well thought out — or very skillfully improvised."

"Feel free to improvise if things go bad," Anakin sent her a grin as the cart stopped. Ahead of them, Ahsoka and the others had been stopped by a droid.

"Halt — what are you doing outside of the city gates?" the droid asked.

"Hunting," Lux lied. "We've been trekking for days."

"Did you register before your execursion?" the droid asked as the other one started inspecting the cart.

"No, but most of our time is spent in the bush collecting our traps," Lux lied. "We come to the city to sell. You can't get thrip larva like this in Iziz. Only the biggest trees on the other side of Onderon."

"Hey, listen, we need to deliver all of this in time for supper!" Steela said in an irritated tone.

"Hmm, are you scanning anything?" the droid asked his fellow droid.

"It's hard to tell with so much organic matter," the other droid answered.

"C'mon!" a female rebel at the back of their cart yelled. "Our merchants are waiting inside. Can you hurry it up?" "

"Let them through!" the droid decided.

"Roger, roger!"

The ray shield disappeared which allowed them to pass through the gates into the capital city of Iziz.

"I admit — Bonteri is a pretty good liar," Kaia noted when they got out of hearing distance from the droids. "He will make a skilled politician."

"And you base that on him being a good liar?" Anakin snorted.

"I said skilled, not good," Kaia shrugged as their cart stopped next to Ahsoka, Lux and Steela's. Obi-Wan steered his Dalgo to stand in between them.

"Not a bad start," Anakin said. "But now the hard work begins."
