Infamous

Trip

Tatooine

   The Mos Eisley Cantina was packed full of pilots, bounty hunters, droids and slaves. If you look past all the gambling and fighting you'd see some younger teenagers in the back, all arguing over a map. After a few minutes, a redhead walks over to the group, seeming to be scolding them.

"Guys, you can't take a hit on a Jedi. You'll die, it's not worth it." The redhead starts, and a younger girl cuts her off.

"Says the one who takes all sorts of bad hits, Trip. We need this. It's fifty-thousand units!!" "Hell. No. It's not worth it- I'll pick up some more hits, we're not going after a Jedi, much less a Jedi Knight, Ari."

The kid just sits back, and a few kids walk away from the table as Trip sits down, leaning against the hard stone bench."Ari-" "Come on, that Jedi is flying on a Republic Cruiser drop here. It'd be an easy shot."

"It's a Jedi, it's never easy." "Says you.." "Yes, says me Ari. Drop it." She ruffled the girls pink hair, getting up out of the booth. "I'm going to shower, don't do or try anything stupid." "Tell that to Caz over there." Ari mumbles, and Trip looks outside as a small fight had begun.

Trip immediately ran outside, pushing the small crowd out of the way to get to the boy. "Dengar, get off of Caz!" She yelled, her blaster aimed at the hunter from Corellia who was pinning Caz to the wall. He faced Trip, pulling his blaster out and aiming it at Caz. "Why should I? This little germ tried to steal my credits."

The second he pulled his blaster, Ari and a few other kids were outside, all with their own weapons pulled. The crowd that had been there had backed off, but a few from Dengar's crew stood up, hands on weapons but not pulling them. Dengar looked around, slightly nervous.

"Pick your battle, germ." Ari said, and Trip just put her blaster back in its holster. "I'll give you 50 credits to walk away." "100, and we have a deal." Dengar said, letting go of Caz and walking to Trip. "Fine." She placed the money into his hand as he walked past, glaring at Caz. Caz sheepishly smiles at her as she walks over, running her hands through her hair.

"Caz, please tell me you realize what you did. Those credits could have gotten us a bigger ship, a way out." Trip was trying not to yell but Caz just rolled his eyes. "Or a new blaster, or a house here." "Caz, I need to get you out of here. Not just you, all of us. Ari, Luke, Ikaa, Kida, Solxav, the whole crew!" He finally just looked away from her, at his feet. Trip shook her head, walking back towards the public shower area, not wanting to deal with Caz at the moment.

Trip inserted a few coins into the showers locked handle, waiting a few seconds for the water to turn on. Downside of staying at Mos Eisley, the showers weren't free. Sadly, Trip didn't have anywhere else to take the kids.

Her crew was made up of seven kids, including her. Trip herself was 19, while the other two oldest were Caz (17) and Kida (18). The rest of them were 13 or younger, all kids that Trip had found in the area. Most of Trip's crew was human, aside from Ari and Solxav.

Ari was a bit different, her and Trip had been together for 5 years. They had been slaves to the same master until he was murdered, and had been "sisters" ever since. Ari looked human, with tan skin and facial features like Trip's, along with pink hair for some personality, but she was a Clawdite.

Solvax was a Twi'lek, he was purple and white for the most part. They found him nearly dead, left in the middle of the desert planet. Trip nursed him back to health, and he was the baby of the group, only 7 years old.

The others, Kida, Luke, Ikaa and Caz were all humans. Kida was the daughter of a pilot, but both her parents left her here under her Uncle's protection. She doesn't talk much, but is the best pilot in the crew. Luke and Ikaa are brothers, they're both slaves that Trip paid to have freed. The boys were being starved with their current owner, a small booth runner on the planet.
