Sharim finally gets up after admiring his friend and is ready to carry out his daily routine of survival once again consisting of the necessity's of life food and water. Sharim starts up his speeder ready to scavenge when he sees what he can make out to be a traveller off into the distance, he contemplates going over asking why they are out this far but he's also had a fair share of bandits it isn't until the traveller shouts out, what he said could not be put into words as he is to far away but Sharim did hear what sounded like a person needing help and since Sharim knows what it feels like to be abandoned whilst asking for assistance is when he decides to investigate........
