[Devrin pov]
Well fuck. This pretty much guarantees the legends timeline. That makes things much harder. The power gap isn't just understanding the force, this motherfucker Palpatine can use Sith lightning to destroy cities.
Relax. Breathe in, out, in, out, I-
"Is everything okay"
Mom. "Uuuhhhh, yeah just excited."
I have to stay cal-
"You're lying." She catches me off guard. "So if everything's not okay, what is it."
Maybe teaching my mother the forces the wrong decision. Always have to be on my toes, the weight of knowledge is heavy. "I can't tell you, not until I'm sure."
Mom gives me a look that only mothers can. This definitely isn't over.
"Anakin, can you check for a entrance please." Anakin gives mom a look, then back to me.
"Okay but I wanna know tooo." He stretches the "O" sound as he head towards the underbelly of the ship.
I can feel mom staring daggers into the back of my head. "Staring won't make me tell you."
"Oh, but it will. What did you see, or feel, or whatever force thing happened?"
"It's was nothing"
Mom grabs me and make me face her, "what was it? You don't have to take this on yourself."
"Mom I know. It's was nothing, I just realized that until we leave this planet we will always have to live under someone. Watto paid taxes to the gangs for safety. I'll eventually have to do the same. We can't live here forever, or we'll end up like this ship lost to time."
"We will get off this planet." Mom says staring directly into my eyes. "You already fought for our freedom, are you gonna give up now?"
Huh, I guess she's right. I Put in this much effort, might as well see it through.
She pats me on my head, which is awkward cause I'm only a couple inches shorter than her. Come, let find Ani.
____________________________________
The door the ship slides open with a hiss. The years being underground saving it from years of erosion. The interior, while mosty destroyed most likely from impact, the are still a few survivors.
I crack open the top of one of the surviving crates, find a ancient set of data banks. These make be useful.
Anakin open the others only to find more of the same. His excitement throughly squashed, "no new toys? I'd thought we'd at least find a blaster."
"Anakin, Can you find out what on them? Save anything with the words with and Jedi. Let's keep looking, maybe there something in the ship mom?"
"Anakin be careful." She pats his head then follows me into the ship.
Slowly making our way through the main corridor, we take a look around our surroundings. Two doorways on opposite sides of the hall,followed by a sliding door.
Walking up to the first room, I grab a flashlight from out pack. Anakin had the one we started with. checking the room for anything useful, we find a living quarters. It was mostly empty, save for a couple blankets mom decided to, "repurpose."
Find nothing of value, we move to the second room, find a mostly empty room with a well worn mat on floor. Mom begins to walk towards it, a grab her wrist pulling her back. "Probably not a good idea to meditate in the wreckage of a ship."
She turn to look at the spot before bowing. I stop and ask "do you see something? Does it happen to be a certain color, if so what color?"
"Yes, it's a older man, he's blue." She say not looking at me.
"Then go, I'll wait for you." Pushing forward gently, I stand back and let her find her way. Whatever it is it called us here, hopefully blue still means good.
Watching and she takes a seat, looking directly forward, as if someone is directly in front of her. I see her body relax, slowly falling in meditation.
Feeling a whisper on my ear "I found something." Stifling the screams that want the burst from my chest, I turn to Anakin, holding a data pad.
"What did you find?" Holding my chest in fear of my heart exploding. I beater be good enough for you to try and give me a heart attack."
"A ship load of sith army reports, flight tracking, shipping manifests. Dated 3000 years ago. It was a sith ship."
"I'm not too sure." Looking back at mom, knowing that meditation an take a while, I walk out with Anakin. "Let's check the rest of the ship."
Moving through the sliding door we find our selve in what u assume is the common area. Clothes, both light and dark, lay spread across place. Everything from a old sith uniform, to old republic Jedi armor. This room use to change more than relax.
"Anakin see if you can get the power on." Anakin moves towards the main computer while I check the entities the main cockpit, the door deformed by the crushing rock on the other side. How did the rest of the ship survive if the cockpit ended up like this.
The light flicker on before immediately turning red. "The ships in emergency mode." He says running over to me.
"Any diagnostics, what's broken and what's not? We can come back and scrap it for parts.
"I ran a scan, other than the main controls and the warp drive. Everything thing else is scrap, even the generator is barely holding on cause it's in emergency mode."
"Great more junk"
"I think I can release the cockpit door though?"
Before I can say no he taps his data pad, The sealed door making concerning noises. I pull Anakin back before his eagerness gets us killed. The shears against the wall making a awful noise, rock and debris fall from the opening. Before long the door is open, rocks and dust fill the area, but Anakin and I see it. A body
After the rocks settle we move closer. Finding a body, or more accurately a skeleton. It's covered in robes of unknown origin.
I slowly pull at the skeleton, trying my best not to break it. Uncovered, it's an adult skeleton, a familiar silver and black cylinder at its waist.
Anakin grabs it before it can, "what this?" He says holding a version of his future weapon in his hand.
I smile, "it's our ticket out of here."
