And a good pilot, at that. At least, he thought he was before now.
After all, whatt kind of quality pilot jets off into space on a course for D’Qar and winds up landing among a clearing of trees in the forest of — Fynock glanced back to the map displayed on the gridded screen of his refurbished V-wing—
And what kind of quality pilot doesn’t even know what planet he lands on?
Fynock sighed, grumbled an intelligible slew of garbled curses. He had been positive, absolutely positive, that he had set a course for D’Qar. If he took the time to rifle through the scraps of paper he considered to be his written “logbook” — if he clicked through his nav systems to find his previously recorded coordinates — he would find that he had, in fact, sped through space with D’Qar in his sights. Yet, here he was. And while he couldn’t quite explain why, Fynock had a strong feeling this was exactly where he needed to be. Even if the Resistance — so he was told from friends of friends and their sources’ sources — was located on D’Qar.
Even if he had no clue where he was.
The mid-afternoon air was thicker here than it was on Lothal, and quieter, too. Fynock strained his ears, but couldn’t even detect the faint chirpings of crickbeets.
Are crickbeets even native to this place?
He didn’t know. Not that it mattered much, because, from behind him, Fynock heard a heavy snapping sound, like boots splintering a small twig. His blaster was in his hand, his body whipping around to pinpoint the noise and draw its source into focus, but all he saw was trees. Damn trees everywhere.
“Alright, you got two choices,” he called out, voice and aim steady despite the wild drumming of his anxious heart. “Come out and meet me, or stay hidden and meet my blaster.”
Why couldn’t he have just landed on D’Qar?
