"Rey?" My heart stood still for a second. I opened my eyes, but closed them immediately again. It was too bright.

"Where am I?"
"We're on Jakku."
"Jakku?!"
"Yes. It is safest for us in this current state. If you were still at your senses when you told me that that Snoke guy was dead, then the First Order will not have a Supreme Leader. As they have to set themselves up again, we can strike."
"Wait... is there a plan yet?"
"Indeed: we are going to place a fake Resistance Base here on Jakku. Our actual one will be on Naboo. As soon as they are ready to go find us, they'll start searching the nearest areas... which includes Jakku. They'll think that it's the base and fly here. We can then launch a surprise attack."
"But General, what if it doesn't work?"
"It has to work. We have not found any alternatives yet..."
"If you say so, then I'll believe you."

I got up and looked around. I was in the medical station of a ship, or at least the ruins and what was left of it. It was completely empty. Not a trace of anybody. Where were the members of the Resistance? Finn? My hands slid around. All of this was so familiar but at the same time so strange. I hadn't been on Jakku for ages. When did I even get here? How long had I been sleeping for ? Suddenly I felt something round beneath my hands. I pulled off the blanket and found nothing else than Luke's broken lightsaber. I did not dare to touch it. Why would General Leia keep it in the meeting room, hidden under a blanket? There must have been a reason. Did she not want me to find it? Or did she not want someone else to find it?

As a matter of fact there was a lot of trash in the meeting room: the only table was the only clean furniture there was. There were three huge shelves. One contained a whole lot of cups, pots, glasses, and vases. One even had flowers in them, but they were already rotten. The second one was full of handmade jewellery. It included a necklace with a Resistance pendant. Who made those?
The third shelve contained basically the rest: rotten food, pieces of wood, blankets, clothes, and many more things.

Everything was covered in dust. Why here? What was this place? Did it have a history?
