❶ A week later, the Jedi Order landed on Zaxyn. Luke bunked with the Padawan in the crew quarters while Naluma recovered from her leg injury in the captain's quarters. During the last few days of the trip, the Jedi were down to MREs and emergency water conservation protocol.
The Padawan stank. The shuttle stank. Everything stank.
Once the shuttle had landed on the tarmac at the military base, Artoo scurried around, connecting water and fuel hoses. While the Padawan visited the quartermaster for food, Luke ran over to the base headquarters to submit the reimbursement requests. Since the Jedi stipends had transferred to accounts that same day, they were all breathing easier.
Luke had drained his and Naluma's accounts to zero balances for her medical care, while the Padawan had used up most of their savings for the last supply run. Luke hoped the reimbursements would clear soon.
As for obtaining a med tech for the academy, Madine would not assign one unless Luke divulged the location of this new academy. Luke, out of security concerns, refused. Even though the general was not happy with the refusal, he did arrange for the entire company to take all four levels of field medicine. Naluma would join them during the last course to recertify her skills.

Three weeks after her accident, Naluma declared war on the incessant cabin fever and hobbled outside. She lowered herself to the grass with care and took deep breaths. The fresh air vibrated the Force through her entire being.
Ensconced in the core of nature, she reveled in the Force stirring through her, energizing her. To Naluma, each minute she spent here opened a valve of the Force wider. She felt at peace for the first time since the accident.
The nightmares had returned the night before, disrupting her sleep. She had stopped taking her pain meds for a few days to prevent them, but to no avail. Between the agony and the dreams, she returned to the meds to alleviate at least one of her afflictions.
