Kids Are The Worst
A few years before Current Time... two kids, opposite in nature, are pulled by the force to meet under unlikely circumstances.
"Ow"
Seemingly alone on the empty cargo ship, an annoyed young Arkanian stuck a pierced finger into his mouth in an attempt to dull the pain. The offending item was a panel of circuits that lay bare, their parts half dismantled half rebuilt, with pieces that clearly did not belong, if not profane the image of the otherwise pristine ship. The child had been "experimenting" on it. While some children are known to wreak havoc by coloring on the walls, Arkanian children -those children born to a proud and arrogant species that touted a sense of pinnacle evolution- were a different kind of demon altogether.
His parents were never one to watch over him. And why bother? The city of Adascopolis on Arkania was completely enclosed. The safety rate of the city was impeccably high for those Arkanians living on it...though tourists were known to go missing from time to time under "suspicious" circumstances that often led to a cold trail. Perhaps they were trying to raise their child to be independent, but with no where to be and no one looking for him, Bast has managed to sneak his way to the space port and board a ship with one holy mission: to screw with it.
Often he would mess with droids back home, tear them apart and rebuild them to do the most embarrassing of things, borderline harassing those who sometimes took care of him in the place of his parents. Based solely on his personality and hobbies, it wasn't actually that surprising that no one was looking out for him.
A ship however, was much more complicated than a droid. Yet his hypothesis was simple: could he replace the finer components of the ship with useless components he found in his room? This led him to the present, messing with a circuit board, horrifying any ship-builder with his tactics, and probably impressing any average technician.
Shaking his hand and abused finger, Bast went to dive back into his work when he heard the sound of the ship's doors opening. Both the Cargo and the cockpit. He was trapped. Having previously banked on being able to escape out the other when one opened, the boy quickly shut the circuit door and dove behind some boxes of cargo.
He should've just admitted his wrong doing, but the proud boy did not. With both dismay, pride and fear, Bast felt the ship lift off the ground and fly into hyperspace. Apparently, his meddling still worked, but now there was no going back.
