Hera stood quietly behind the chassis of an old B-1 Battle Droid in the living quarters of a shuttle. The 'shuttle', an old Hammerhead Corvette stripped of most of its weapons and refitted for transport of passengers between systems, was taking Jedi Master Hera Albion toward a strange jungle world close to, but not inside, Empire space. Taking Hera Albion, and a young woman named Erin Lux, that is. The Jedi Master had requested the young masterless Padawan to accompany her on her mission in order to have a little bit of company.
Humming a quiet little tune as she worked, Hera reconnected wires and reattached refitted parts inside the practically ancient droid. Most of the internal workings had been replaced, though Hera had been careful to make sure the central processor was repaired, not replaced. She needed the information this little tan and yellow lined machine possessed in its memory banks. Dressed in her green armor with her blackened goggles hanging loosely around her neck, Hera utilized her pupilless eyes to track where power was moving inside the droid by heat signatures. 'Infrared vision does have its uses,' Hera thought, 'though I wish it could help me see why the processor has power, but won't turn the kriff on.'
Their trip had been, so far, fairly quiet. The Jedi Master had unfortunately engrossed herself so much in the work that she forgot to speak to the younger woman. They were close to their destination now and it had not occurred to Hera to actually tell Padawan Lux what their mission was. The ship shuddered as it exited hyperspace, causing Hera's two lightsabers to roll off her desk and onto the ground from the shaking. Still engrossed in her work, she decided to pick them up later.
If Erin wanted to get some information out of Hera, talking sooner rather than later would be wise.
