Character
Standing next to Arwen as he meticulously worked underneath the stationary light interceptor was a quirky maintenance droid, a DUM-series pit droid. With its mechanical precision, the droid effortlessly held onto an open anti-static toolbox that contained numerous tools to perform maintenance work. The box was almost as large as the pit droid, yet it showed no signs of difficulty in its more than capable grip. Arwen had rescued the droid from a salvage yard where it had been abandoned and mistreated. It would have surely rusted and faded out of existence if he did not rescue it. Besides feeling sorry for it, Arwen found companionship in the little droid's presence.
As Arwen cautiously adjusted the starship's components, the pit droid set the toolbox on the ground and began rummaging through the contents, searching for the necessary equipment needed for the next stage of Arwen's work. Without request, the droid swiftly provided Arwen with the required tool and handed it to Arwen. Grinning in appreciation, Arwen graciously accepted the wrench and used it to tighten the bolts he had installed. The droid, equipped with numerous scanners in its circular photoreceptor, observed Arwen's work, occasionally tilting its head or making exaggerated gestures with its mechanical arms. Some would see it frustrating having a droid critique their work but Arwen appreciated it, knowing that the experienced eye that was fitted with numerous scanners was only ensuring the quality of work was up to standard.
"It's break time, right?" Arwen said, pointing at a bench nearby. The droid tilted its head inquisitively, its photoreceptor scanning the surroundings before showing two mechanical thumbs in response. Arwen chuckled and patted the droid on its shoulder as he climbed up to his feet. The duo were shortly interrupted when Arwen's handheld holo communicator alerted him of an incoming transmission from Jedi Master Valery Noble. Accepting it, he was greeted with a projection of Valery that was illuminated in blue, "Greetings, Knight Hamenick. According to reports I received, there has been an increase in activity in the Old Sith Worlds region of the Galaxy. These planets once belonged to the Sith Empire, whose survivors have now established a new power base in the Outer Rim. But I've been worried about their reach expanding far beyond their borders, and now we've detected Sith Convoys in the region as well. Your mission is quite simple — you'll be joining me to neutralize one of these convoys and learn as much as we can about why they're there, and what exactly they're doing. When you have the time, find me in the Council Chambers."
"Looks like we're getting a longer break than we thought, my friend. Wait by the ship for me," Arwen said, addressing his pit droid. The droid raised a mechanical thumb in acknowledgment, understanding the seriousness of the situation. The droid lowered its dome head and returned to the light interceptor as Arwen went a separate way. Covered in grease and oil, he made his way through the glamorous Jedi temple, the complete opposite of how Arwen looked right now. As Arwen navigated the halls of the Jedi temple, he couldn't help but feel a sense of readiness as this was going to be his first mission under the guidance of Jedi Master Valery Noble. The journey through the temple was familiar to him, and he greeted fellow Jedi he passed with a nod of recognition and a warm smile. As he neared the Council Chambers, he inhaled a heavy breath and prepared himself for what was to happen. The Council Chambers stood tall, its entrance guarded by imposing statues depicting Jedi of the past. With each step as he closed in on the chambers, Arwen's resolve deepened, knowing that within those walls, crucial decisions were made and destinies shaped. He hoped one day he would be a part of those crucial decisions.
As he entered the chambers he provided Valery with a brief bow. "Master Noble, I came as soon as I could," he said, his voice filled with concern.
