When they got back to the Ghost, Hera immediately swept Esa to the refresher. Kanan shook his head and went to his cabin to meditate, he knew that Hera would be a while.

He was right, Chopper didn't even come get him till about an hour after they got back on the ship. He went to the med bay and found Hera with Esa, and now that Esa was all cleaned up. He actually could get a clear look of her.

She was badly malnourished, her skin had a green tint to it, and her hair was actually blue. Hera saw to it that her clothes were replaced, so she was now wearing a orange long sleeved dress, with white leggings and black boots. He noticed that a belt was secured around her waist, and he guessed it was helping the dress not be baggy. Esa had a piece of armor over her right shin, and on her left arm.

"How are you feeling Esa?" Kanan Asked her, and she looked at him. He could get a clear look of her eyes, and was shocked by their color. Her eyes were a bright, almost glowing, cobalt blue.

"I'm feeling better, but I feel really sick still." She Said, and he turned to Hera.

"Due to malnourishment, her body has been eating itself up just to keep her alive. She'll be fine, all Esa needs is some food and rest." Hera Said, and Kanan nodded.

"Ok, well, we need to contact Fulcrum." Kanan Said, and Hera nodded. They left Chopper with Esa, before heading to Hera's room to contact their source.

Now that she was alone, she started to hear something. It was music, she'd heard a similar song her whole life, but nothing quite like this. This song, it was more beautiful and different than any other she's heard. So, she got up and decided to find the source of it.

She wondered around the ship till she found the place where the music was loudest. But the door was locked, and she she couldn't figure out how to get inside the room.

She sighed, then leaned against the door. She closed her eyes and just listened to the music, when she suddenly fell backwards. She opened her eyes and saw she was in the room, she got up and looked around.

The music was coming from the bed, so she investigated. That led her to discovering a hidden drawer. Her face lit up with a grin, and she opened the drawer. Only to find a long cylinder, she picked it up. And the music stopped the second she touched the cylinder, she wanted to hear it again. So she messed around with the cylinder, she hit a button.

But instead of hearing music, she found a long blue something ignite from the cylinder. She dropped it from shock, and then heard something.

"Careful. You'll cut your arm off." Kanan said, and Esa looked up in shock.

"I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to find where the music was coming from." She Said, and Kanan looked confused.

"What music?" He Asked, and Esa was confused.

"The music that was coming from that thing, it was so pretty. I wanted to find what was causing it, but when I touched the thing, it stopped." She Said, and Kanan's eyes widened slightly.

"Esa, I want you to do something for me." He Said, as he pulled out a blue and silver box.

"I want you to try and open this." He Said, as he handed it to her. She took the box and looked at it quizzically.

"What if I break it?" She Asked, and Kanan chuckled.

"It's more durable than it looks, but think of it as a puzzle. Do you think you can solve it?" He asked, and he saw her nods.

"Yeah, I'm good with puzzles." She Said, before she ran out of his room to try and open the box. Hera came in just after she left.

"You think she's force sensitive?" She asked, and Kanan called his lightsaber to him.
