A young Ahsoka, barely old enough to begin to speak and stand, is being cuddled in her mothers loving arms as she stands with her husband in the open area, long ago cleared in the hope of more crop land, couple crates of food stuff in front of them.

"I hope he isn't late, if we leave this out much longer scavengers will come for it, and we know what happened last time that happened" said Hadaan to his wife, a spear in hand next to three other relative warriors who also had weapons in hand, they were outside the age where the disease was more deadly, and Hadaan trusted them severely.

"If he does it again we wont have many people left to farm the lands and hunt" replied Ayisha, who was slowly rocking baby Ahsoka back and forth, the young child on the verges of falling asleep in her mothers comforting arms.

The sound of an engine flying overhead was brought to the attention of the togruta, who looked up, sheilding there eyes from the blazing sun that was in the middle of its arc over there view of the sky.

A small trading vessel, the kind that was for transporting common goods, it didn't have a powerful engine (it actually had a weaker one then most ships its size) it didnt have any offensive capabilities, it was something most smugglers wouldn't even joke about using, which is why the human aboard used it.

the ship was painted a pale blue with white diamonds on it, landed in front of them in the clearing, with its large closed hangar facing them, the trees near them wavering under the force of the engine.

The hangar doors slowly opened, to reveal a dark skinned human with curly black hair, standing next to a couple security droids, each holding menacing blasters.

"Why hello friends" said the human, stepping towards the crates of food, the droids following him.

Hadaan stepped forward, his chest out to try and intimidate the human, "as you know shili is dealing with a deadly virus, if you leave us these supplies we cou-"

The boy waggled his finger at Hadaan cockily "eh eh eh, that's your problem, not mine, ive got several planets where I got a racket, losing all of you would be no different."

Ayisha snarled, "do you have as little good in you as to not care for the fate of an entire species?"

The snarl surprised Ahsoka, who had never heard such a mean and nasty sound come from her mother, she began to wail with surprise and her mother went back to rocking her to calm her down.

The six droids holster there rifles, and began to carry the three crates into the shuttle.

One of Hadaan's relatives step forward towards the human "you aren't even an adult how dare y-"

The human quick drew a pistol and aimed it at the togruta's head, and Ayisha remembered the last time they had fought the smuggler, the sounds of her sisters screams as she was gunned down by the droids forever drilled in her memory.

She looked down at her daughter who had calmed down again and pushed back the tears that were whelming up inside her from the memory, she had a daughter and a good husband, she needed to look forward to that, not dwell on the past.

The young togruta stepped back at the sight of the gun and the human grinned.

"This blaster, isn't a blaster, this is a modified slugthrower, when your a smuggler, you have to deal with a lot of law enforcement, including the jedi and there laser swords, and this thing, is designed to put one in its place, it can also drill through your brain and out the other side as a bonus so here's a top, do not test me."

The droids finished transporting the goods to the ship and the human nodded "well, it was good talking to you lot, thanks for giving me more goods to sell, lets do this again next year."
