Description
High overhead a handful of ships cruised beneath the hot Bomuran sun. The streets were considerably more populated with beings from dozens of worlds tending to their own business whether that meant negotiating spaceflights or simply standing by and waiting for opportunity.

Strolling down a sun-baked street, Nod and Taina headed towards a meeting with most important people in the secluded spaceport. As if aware of the vital nature of their visit, eyes turned to the pair whenever they'd pass someone in the streets, and that didn't go unnoticed by the young Rebel officer.

"Is it just me, or are we drawing an unusual amount of attention?" Taina asked her partner.

"Believe me, it's only you," Nod replied, casting a momentary smile toward the human, "I've not landed here in months, and you're a new face. We're only being sized up. As long as you don't come off as nervous then you won't have to worry about anything."

Resisting the urge to look behind her despite the feeling of eyes staring at the back of her head, Taina focused her attention elsewhere, away even from the formidable gun a local hunter was propping up.

"And what should I worry about?" she asked.

"If you know then you'll just act more jittery," the Twi'lek chided, "I would have expected an officer like you would be a little calmer in situations like this. How many battles have you been in?"

"Battles are different," Tain corrected him, "We know the odds, we can pick and choose when and how we encounter an enemy. But this is outside of my element. I don't know who might be here, and to tell the truth, I have a bad feeling about this."

The very idea brought a skeptical twist to Nod's mouth. "What's to feel bad about?" he asked, "Nothing's going to happen here. We're completely safe."

"Thanks, Nod. Now I know we're in trouble."
