A report blinked into the Conclave's schedule to be looked at, another call from Arda. The planet seemed to be collecting problems that they could not handle. This one was not life threatening, but it was clearly causing upset in peaceful space. It told of an animal, lurking at the edges of the village, stealing bright objects and skittering off into the forest, not a problem, not until it was cornered for stealing and bitten someone before brandished a lightsaber, something the villagers had learnt to fear.
*~*~*~*~*
The cacophonous noise of the forest burned Mala's ears. Such a contrast to the dark and silent wreckage she had lived on for so long. The people smelt funny, the earth was uncomfortable beneath her feet and the water made her cold. She hadn't meant to stay here, she'd slipped from another ships belly, drawn by the unusual noises and wound up left behind. A bird shouted above her head. "SHUT UP!" she shouted jumping to her feet and sending many of the fluttering beasts fleeing to the skies.
Returning to her haunches she patted the items she had collected. A brightly coloured ball the children had been playing with, a mirror, a small collecting of fishing hooks among other bizarre items. She picked a hook up turning it slowly in her fingers, holding it close to her eye as she tried to understand the point of it. A disruption in the skies above made her jump and somehow the hook ended up through her finger. She howled and shook her hand furiously, trying and failing to dislodge it. Whimpering she looked up to see an angular ship passing overhead.
Torn between the pain in her hand and the call of curiosity from the ship, she howled again, before giving into the latter and moving once more through the jungle forgetting to cover her stash.
