Star Wars: The Way of the Grey

A twi'lek orphan girl in a slum on Ryloth was about to gave up hope, she was hungry and sick, beaten from a fight with a bunch of other orphan kids, for the scraps of food they could find in the trash piles. She was sitting on the side of a dark alleyway, enduring the pain of hunger to lessen her hunger and thirst she drunk water from a dirty puddle yesterday, now she had a fever. She knew that it was a risk, but she had no other choice... Now it will be over at least faster she thought with sadness, but also relief. With her hazy mind she finally realised that someone was standing before her, a tall man, a human man? She couldn't make out his features. At least she will not be alone in her last moments, suddenly she felt happy, it was probably from the hunger, she felt light headed, her reasoning was gone. Her heavy eyelids slowly closed.

The stranger was looking at the small probably five or six years old girl. He looked at the girl but there was no pity in his aging eyes. Only realisation.

- So be it. He said.

The force made him come to this place, it led him into this alley at the right time to save this light grey skinned twi'lek girl. She was a bastard child of a whore, most likely dropped on the streets, or orphaned some other typically cruel way. It did not mattered to the bearded man. What mattered was that he could sense the force in the girl, he knew that she was the one he came for. He picked up the girl, and walked back to his ship, hastily.

- Don't die on me now, after all that trouble to find you. The man cursed while breathing heavily. He was old, his beard was entirely white, the spring in his steppes and deep wrinkles were tell-tale signs of a battle hardened veteran. Or at least a hard life, with heavy physical labour.

The man ran up the ramp of his ship, into it's medical room. Carefully placing the trembling feverish girl on the table while two different medical droid booted in and started to scan the girl's body. Each droid had four different arms, giving the girl antibiotics and bacta poultices on her forehead, with at least a few doses of immune re-invigorators with energy infusions.
