GENERIS
10.20am local time
Generis was going to be hard work, Dash could just tell.
The world was hot and humid and little fresh air blew through the window, even as the wheeled transport shot up the mountainside. He adjusted his tank top in a vain attempt to keep cool, but it was no good.
They had a long trek ahead and Dash had opted for a tank and shorts, good hiking boots and a billed hat to shield him from the sun. His lightsaber hilt was strapped to his waistband and he hopefully had anything else he might need in his pack.
They reached the ridge line and all bailed out of the transport; Dash, Knight Redson and the other Padawan he had not had a chance to speak to yet.
"The kids went missing from that lake down there" he heard the driver say to Redson, pointing to the emerald waters at the foot of the jungled slope. "Local law has combed the area, but we're all running out of hope now. Got most people thinking it must be spirits in the old temple. That's why they called you guys".
Redson assured the man they would do what they could and the driver departed with a wave, hurtling back down the dusty track.
"Half a dozen children missing" Redson confirmed, turning to them and building on the brief intel he had already shared earlier. "Would not normally be a task for Jedi, but on a border world like this we can use any opportunity to build bridges with the locals. We will head down to the lake and then start our search from there - keep your eyes peeled, both of you".
The Knight turned and set off into the heavy jungle, making a path the two Padawans could try their best to follow.
"Guess we better not lose him" Dash said, smiling up at his counterpart. Like a lot of Jedi, the other Padawan was a bit taller than him. "I'm Dash, Dash Pavan".
