The Seventh Sister's POV

The Phantom exited hyperspace to display a huge, dry plant ahead of us. We had arrived at Mirial.

"Ready?" Ezra asked.

I nodded, and sat down with my legs crossed on the floor of the ship, breathing slowly.

I connected with the Force, entering the wild currents of the universe. I tried to stay calm, wait for something, anything to show itself to me.

But nothing happened.

The Force showed me nothing.

"Getting anything?" Ezra asked.

"No," I said. "You?"

"Nothing."

"If the Force sent us here, why won't it show us why!" I asked in frustration.

"We are just going to have to look the old fashioned way," Ezra said.

"And how do you propose we do that?" I questioned.

"Well, we need to find you past. What better way than breaking into the building in their capital where they keep the records if civilians and look there?" Ezra smirked.

"I knew this had something to do with breaking into places," I sighed.

"You in?" Ezra asked.

I sighed. "I have nothing better to do."

"Great!" Ezra exclaimed.

"What's your plan to break into this place?"

"Well, first, we need to scout out the place. We have to go on the planet."

《~》

"Why does every place we go have to be cold?" Ezra questioned. Mirial was dry, but a very cold desert planet.

"Oh, stop complaining! At least you have a coat!" I pointed out. "Lots of people on this planet don't."

"Yeah, yeah, but it is still cold," Ezra mumbled.

"Let's just get to the record building, check it out, and get out," I said.

"You got the map?"

I brought up a holomap of the capital city. On the map were two dots, a flashing red one and a solid green one.

"This is us," I pointed to the flashing red dot. "And this is the record building," I said, pointing to the green dot.

"Zoom in on the green dot," Ezra said.

I did what he said, and then appeared a somewhat moderate sized building.

"It doesn't look like it has any real security," Ezra pointed out.

"It just seems to have a few security cameras here and there," I said.

"That's good. Let's start heading to it," Ezra said.

《~》

"There it is," Ezra said.

The records building stood in front of us. There was two guards stationed outside a fence that surrounded the small complex. The building itself was just a bland, light blue warehouse.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Ezra asked. "I would imagine people would take more care in keeping the records of the people safe."

"This is the right place. There might be more guards on the inside," I said.

"Still," Ezra said.

"Can't you just accept an easy break in for once?" I asked.

"I guess," Ezra said.

"Good. Then we strike tonight."
