Klan took a deep breath of the dry air and licked his teeth once. The air on this world tasted great. Not too sandy like that Kriffin rock of Tatooine, and just enough moisture to stay above freezing during the night. Not to mention, there was the energy in the air. A kind of subtle, crackling energy that floated on the aether, detectable only to those who could sense the Force. The feeling was dark and cold, but in a much more insidious way compared to cold temperatures like snow or ice. And surprising Khlan, that feeling felt right.
As the light began to darken with the setting of Thule’s sun, Khlan bent down on the rocky outcroppings he stood upon. The moss under his feet gave off an eerie glow that messed with his cybernetic eye sensor slightly. Curious, Khlan ripped some off and placed it in his mouth to taste, before spitting it out. He wasn’t sure if it was poisonous, but it definitely didn’t taste good. The only good it did was light up the way with its eerie bioluminescent glow.
“GONK?” BoomBox honked questioningly as it followed after his master.
Khlan looked at the GNK droid and hissed. “No, we aren't there yet. Hurry up, I’m not going to be late because of you”
The droid honked again with a saddened tone but continued to follow. Khlan picked himself up and continued to walk towards a point on the horizon. In the distance, he could see what looked like a structure. Several days ago the Gank had received an encoded message to meet at one of Thule’s ancient Ruins, the one before him. There, the Gank was promised to unlock his abilities.
Some underground research helped Khlan realize that the message seemed genuine. The planet had ruins all over it, apparently Sith in nature, and anyone who could send him an encoded message either knew him personally or knew of him well enough. Whether the promise referenced his abilities in cybernetics or his burgeoning skills in the Force were unclear, but this was an opportunity Khlan would not pass up. And even if this trip was a bust, perhaps Khlan could acquire something from the Ruin’s that would aid his cybernetics.
About an hour later, just as the Sun was giving its last rays of light, Khlan and his droid made it to the coordinates. Looking around, Khlan began to search for whoever was supposed to meet him.
"Hello?" Khlan called out.
