As Captain Rex woke up,he groaned.He felt as if he'd gone 10 rounds with a jack hammer and lost."Hey,pal." a female voice croaked weakly. Opening his eyes he saw the woman from his dream.Groaning he shut his eyes again."Come on man,speak. I'm bored. They didn't even let Ora come visit." For the first time he realized he could understand her. So he opened his eyes again."How can I understand you?" then he held up a hand."Let me guess u don't know." Rex sat up noticing that he had bruises from his chest all the way down to his waist."Sorry.I got a little rough,but at least u were in front of me. Hell my back won't be seeing this side of black and blue for quite some time." The v-cut in the back of her hospital clothing showed just how bad it was, made him wince."They must of gegeven u something for the pain." morgan nodded."Yah, pretty good meds,still didn't like allowing them needle lovin bastards near me though." Rex smiled,then saw that she had set up one of the board games someone must of provided. "You play much where your from?" He painfully sat sideways on the hospital bunk, his lower half covered in draw string pants."Jesus, I'm so sorry. Does it hurt much?" He looked up at her uncomfortable embarrasment. "Not much,black of white?" She eased onto her bunk with concern."Black,and you're lying. There's no way, not much, cover's that." He let out a hurt laugh,"You're right. It hurts like hell,but not much can be done. I've become immune to the pain medication. So u were telling me Ahsoka sent you."
morgan laid out her pieces,as if she knew the game."Oh,yah. She got pretty pissed when I told her the story.Thought she was going to rip me a new one if I didn't leave quickly enough. I would've gotten around to you, but its not like I know what I'm doing and that critter change took me for a loop. I was totally out of it when I poped into her head,but I already told u all of this." Rex nodded. "Just wanted to make sure what went on in here wasn't just a kriffing halucination." He pointed to his head. He moved one of his white pieces out onto the board's checkered red and gray field.Morgan reached over and pinched his arm as she moved one of hers. As he rubbed the spot,he smiled."Guess I deserved that." morgan smiled in response. As the game became one of stratage and friends.

"Oh gracious Jaba, I swear that it was the Jedi who stal your cargo.Truely I'm not holding out,that scum took them and then disappeared without a trace. Not even a light speed heat trail was left behind.You know this is the first time I've ever not delivered the goods." Levin the Enslaver,pleaded in front of Jabba.Jabba the Hutt,had to agree,but it wouldn't do to toon weakness in front of the audience."I'll take your ship as payment for the lost cargo." The translator announced.Levin paled and then went red in anger.
"My ship! How am I supposed to make my living without my ship!"Jabba shouted at the little man in anger,raising a fist."Do u dare throw back the mercy of The Hutt?" Levin backed away,"No.Of course not,but my ship is worth meer then any group of slaves."
The translator responded,"then u can buy it back,for bouble what u would have gotten for the slaves."Levin nodded knowing that he hadn't been in the business long enough to have earned that much.As most of it went back to Corasaunt and the Boss who controled the gang.As if the Boss would believe the story.It would be meer likely he'd be put up for sale on the market himself before that happened. Shaking his head,he exited Jabba's audience hall and headed for what had been his ship. Growling he packed what he could into his duffle bag,Kelvin his co-pilot droid followed him out as Levin threw the keys to Jabba's goons. As the two lit off for the nearest towns,Levin told his droid the news. "Maybe someone will pay for the information." Levin shook his head,"what information could be that valuable to give us enough money for a new ship." The droid paused and showed him the recorded vid of the rescue party and their sudden disapperence.
Levin tossed his hat down onto the dirt and stomped on it."Stang it Kelvin why didn't u toon this to the Hutts. It might have been enough to sway his decision on taking our ship." The droid hmphed,or it at least sounded like it."I don't talk to piles of dung. Anyway we needed a new ship,our old one was falling apart."Levin picked up his hat,regretting having tromped on it."You got a buyer who's that interested." Kelvin laught,"get us to the nearest out post and you'll see."
