OUTER RIM TERRITORIES
AURUM
A place lying at the bottom of the Galaxy, far from anywhere she had ever been before. Aurum was a shrouded world, which lacked any real activity. Once there had been an Order there, then another. It had peaked the interest of a few factions, but they had since retreated or died. Now it was silent once more, save for the vast array of native wildlife that prowled and roamed in the undergrowth.Yet Jyn was no botanist, she was no biologist... She was not here for research of that kind. In fact, for the first time in known history, Jyn had transported herself somewhere... Albeit with a vessel and droid which had been abandoned. But that didn't matter - this was her life they were talking about, her survival. She knew she would die if she ended up stranded once more. She simply hadn't the place to store supplies. In fact she had no way to get supplies!
Until now, that was. With this... acquired vessel, and a droid to pilot it, Jyn was free to roam the Galaxy. Which had, undoubtedly, led her here. This was it, the end of the trail... Yet hopefully the start of a new one. Jyn did not know exactly what she was hoping to find here, but she knew that without it she would be lost once again, forced to wander the stars without purpose, without reason.
No, she needed to find more. She had to.
Trudging through the forest landscape of the mark she had found upon a planetary map - the only one in existence, or so she had been led to believe - Jyn released the flap from her satchel and stared down, waiting for her furry little friend, Fuz, to leap out and bound into the trees. But it didn't happen. Because Fuz was gone.
A void emptied within her at the reminder, and she closed the satchel with a sinking feeling in her gut. She had to give herself time to explore and search for... Something. Anything. Jyn truly did not know what. Rubbing her neck as Aurum's dense heat rained down on her, the young girl sighed and took a sip of fresh water from the flask at her hip. She had to get her mind off Fuz. She had to focus.
She double checked the slugthrower holstered at her side and nodded her head just once. Everything was in order. Now to reread what had been written. Taking out the datacron, Jyn halted in place and refocused on the words. Mountains... She had to find the mountains to the East, beyond the forest. She checked her location, direction... and pressed on. Hopefully she was headed in the right direction, and her heart felt weighed down as if it was made from stone.
