"Off we go!" Dahlia smiled as she entered their ship.
"Who is going to co-pilot?" Killian asked. "Because I can't have Dahlia do it anymore. She is terrible at it. And sometimes her cheeriness is too much for me." He shook his head.
"I'll do it." Luke replied as the rest of them entered the ship.
"I am still curious about the what-if-we-can't-find-a-clue part of this adventure." Leia said while they all sat in the back of the ship.
"We will cross that bridge when we get there." Iona responded.
"That basically means you don't have a plan." Leia frowned.
"I mean...yeah." Iona shrugged.
Everyone sighed and grumbled.
Dahlia got up and went to the cockpit.
"Killian, can I talk to you for a moment?" She asked.
Luke looked at the serious look on Dahlia's face and knew that they needed a moment alone. "I'll just go check on...stuff." He got up and left the cockpit.
Dahlia sat down in the co-pilot's chair. "What are we going to do about the thousands of credits of spice that we stole hidden in the cargo bay?" She asked.
"Leave it where it is and deal with it later." Killian replied.
"Killian, it's like this doesn't even bother you."
"I thought it didn't bother you?" He asked.
"I didn't, until all of our friends were sitting on top of it!" She yelled.
"Dahlia, just don't think about it. It's fine." He tried to assure her.
"It's just weighing on my conscious." Dahlia admitted.
"Well, it shouldn't. We took that money from pirates! They probably stole it in the first place." Killian argued.
"That still doesn't make it right!" Dahlia shouted.
Then Iona entered the cockpit. "Sorry, I heard shouting. I don't know why I thought that meant I should come in here, because you were obviously in a fight..." They just looked at her. "Yeah, ok. I'm just gonna..." Iona turned around awkwardly and left.
Dahlia sighed. "Uh...okay, so Iona told me that she was dabbling in some criminal activity too, so I guess I feel a little better."
"I think you are just over reacting." Killian said.
"Yeah, maybe." Dahlia stood up and left the cockpit.
The ship flew through the atmosphere of the mostly ocean covered planet of Ahch-To.
"Iona!" Killian called to the back. "Could you come up here to point out the island?!" He asked.
Iona'Ryn joined them in the cockpit. "It has a specific look from above."
"Meaning what?" Luke asked.
"Meaning it looks exactly like a...like a skull from above." Iona exclaimed.
"Alright." Killian looked down at the surface.
There was just sea, then a couple of island, then more ocean, a large group of islands, some water, and then a few more islands.
"We could keep flying forever." Luke complained.
"Iona, do you know where on the planet the island is?" Killian asked.
"Not exactly." Iona answered. "I wasn't even paying attention. I just flew into the planet and started exploring." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Wait!" Luke shouted as he was looking below. "Is that it?" He asked pointing to an island that looked an awful like a skull.
"Um...yep." Iona replied. "That's it!" She smiled.
Killian turned the ship back around and they landed on the top part of the island.
They all piled out of the ship.
Iona looked around. "I don't recognize this area...I see a cave entrance over there, so let's just go down it." She started to walk when Leia stopped her.
"Wait, shouldn't we go in the same entrance you went down in the first place, so we don't get lost." Leia proposed.
Killian looked around. "I think we should spread out."
"I like that idea." Cax agreed.
Cax and Jakob went left, Killian and Dahlia went right, and Iona, Luke, and Leia went straight.

Cax and Jakob followed down the skull and searched for any clues on Morgana's whereabouts. They didn't see anything that seemed like it had been disturbed by any form of life. Killian and Dahlia had the same result on the right side of the skull. There was nothing but some trees, grass, and sand. Luke, Leia, and Iona'Ryn walked down the middle of the skull island. They stopped in the middle of the island, near the nostrils.
"I recognize this area." Iona said.
"What specifically do you recognize?" Leia asked.
"Like this." Iona ran and pointed to the nostrils. "These two caves entrances. I went down the right one which lead to the tunnel and Morgana was to the left." Iona explained. "And I landed my ship over there." Iona pointed to a sand area below the nose.
They walked over to the sand.
"It is obvious there was a ship here." Luke observed.
"Should we go down the tunnel?" Leia asked.
"No." Iona replied. "I didn't see anything down there. I haven't checked out the other end of the island." Iona suggested.
They continued walking and approached the mouth. The area was lower than the rest of the island, but there was no actual cave entrance there.
"I found something!" Luke called to the others while standing in the middle of the mouth of the skull.
They gathered around Luke, who was staring at the ground. Iona and Leia stared and the ground too.
"I don't get it." Iona sighed.
Luke looked up at her. "There is some oil and sand."
"Ok." Leia confirmed. "But this island is covered in sand, that's not abnormal."
"I know, but there is oil here too." Luke responded. "There was another ship here at some point."
"So what about the sand?" Iona asked.
"They must have been on a sandy planet." Luke replied.
"So you think Morgana is on a planet with sand...well that narrows down the search." Iona laughed at her own sarcastic joke.
"It's something." Luke frowned.
"It's really not though." Leia argued. "She could've just been to other islands. And even if we track the sand to like Tatooine or whatever, then there is no guarantee that she will be there. Then we will find another clue or something and then we will just go on a long trail that leads to a dead end." Leia looked at Luke. "I thought that you didn't want that to happen again?!"
"I don't...but I have an idea." Luke grabbed a pinch of sand and walked back towards the ship.
Leia chased after him.
"I'll just get the others then!" Iona shouted, went to the base of the island, and brought them back to the ship.
