Obroa-skai was a planet in the Obroa system within a strategic position in the Borderland Regions of the Inner Rim Territories.
Ecologically, the world was a terrestrial mix of tundras, mountains, grasslands and deserts. A standard day was 26 standard hours and a standard year 456 local days.
The reputation that had developed over the centuries was that the complete knowledge of the galaxy had been gathered within the computers of Obroa-skai's information repositories. [/center]

Noon's thoughts were still on the mortality of the universe as they hurtled through the star spangled sky towards Obroa-Skai. In this world there was no such thing as immortality, he thought. Nothing was eternal.
His body ached from the exhertion on Tatooine and he could not wait for a long dip in a bacta tank. Rather comedic he thought, considering his thoughts on mortality, was that they were both on their way to get medical treatment.
And then there was the case of their prisoner locked in the cage. He was going to be a real problem...

Wa'jacca had taken a short nap in the few hours they had been in hyperspace. It had taken long enough in the hunk of junk Lamda class shuttle they had procured from the owner, who ironically was now being held prisoner in the cage.
He had done this to help pass the time and also to take his mind off the blaster bolt wounds which had burned up his upper left shoulder pretty badly. Despite being shot at with a blaster, he had refused to use his lightsaber, deciding instead to use simpler, more brutal methods of attack. That had almost proven fatal however, and he would have to reconsider his choice on keeping his saber locked away in his duffle bag if more serious situations like those arose again. However, the need to keep a low profile demanded that he not use his lightsaber or the force if he were to seem like an average Wookiee trying to make his way in the universe.
He awoke, and found the ship decelerating from hyperspace around a snowy looking wasteland.
He had never been to the location that Noon had mentioned to him would have adequate healthcare. He would not judge it by its surface, however, as he had been surprised before by how technologically advanced some worlds had been when they looked like wastelands before.
He looked over at Noon who seemed agitated about something. He wondered if it was about the prisoner or his injuries. <"Perhaps the local authorities of this planet can do something about the prisoner."> He voiced, hoping to put the man at ease.

Noon rolled his eyes as he eased the ship out of hyperspace.
Reality.
There it was, floating in front of them. Obroa-Skai. There was something about that name, Noon thought, something poetic. Obroa... He smiled as he said it out loud,
"OObrrrooooAAAhhh..."
Definitely something beautiful about its name, just like the planet itself. Noon looked over at the waking Wookiee and realised that the poor thing needed medical attention more than he himself did, and yet, it was still trying to put Noon at ease. What a kind hearted creature, Noon mused.
"You're right Jay, perhaps the authorities can do something. Do we know if Obroa-Skai falls under Republic or Imperial domain?"
Noon entered the co-ordinates for the Aurora medical facility and began following the directions to get to the medical facility, guiding the ship towards the side of the planet it was on...

Jay looked over at the human and nodded. <"It does have an interesting name. It must mean something important to the culture of those who live here."> He paused viewing the blinking lights on the console infront of him. He stopped and looked over at Noon. <"I thought you said you knew a place for medical attention. I'm not familiar with this planet. I'm not sure if they would be friendly to us.. However I am not affiliated with either.">

Noon grinned at the Wookiee's reaction.
"I said I know a place for medical attention. I do. I don't know much about this planet though, and I've never been one for politics myself. The reason I ask about its government is because I was wondering if either would actually care about something that happened on Tatooine. I do not think they will be too thrilled with our heroic story, law enforcement officials tend to care a lot about jurisdiction..."
As the ship broke through the atmosphere, Noon began scanning the land below for Aurora. There to the north the facility lay. Taking the ship in low to the ground, Noon approached the medical facility...

Wolf Metelmann finally stirred awake and looked around himself. The last thing he knew he was engaged in a deadly bar fight in Chalums cantina in Mos Eisley, but now he found himself locked in his own ships detention cell. "Blast". He thought to himself. "What the devil happened"? The very last thing he remembered was pumping several rounds into the wookie when a table had mysteriously flown through the air and smacked into him rendering him unconcious. It wouldn't take a genius to figure out what had happened then. His attackers had subdued him somehow, keeping him conviently asleep while they removed him of his weapons and stole his ship, flying it to god knows where with him as their prisoner.
He grit his teeth in anger and frustration, it was embarassing to find himself in such a situation and he was determined to make his captors pay for that embarassment. Pushing aside his drowseyness that he felt from awaking from a long deep sleep, Wolf began to fiddle with the cell and it opened with a soft pop after not much effort. Being a practical man he had installed a failsafe to be able to open the cell from the inside incase he ever found himself a prisoner aboard his own ship, he'd never expected to be actually using it. He snuck across the deck and opened the shis conceled weapons locker, withdrawing his E-11 blaster rifle and made his way to the ships cabin, holding the powerful blaster at the ready.

<"Perhaps we can keep the prisoner subdued long enough to drop him off on another world."> The Wookiee murmered, scanning the horizon as they broke through the atmosphere and the medical facility began looming ahead.
Jay felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up as something dark began clouding his mind. Something was amiss. It was close... <"I think our villian may be awake,"> the Wookiee murmered softly to Noon. He slowly reached down to the duffle bag next to his seat and cocked his bowcaster and withdrew it from the bag. He slowly began undoing his crash webbing.

"Well, there is one way to find out,"
Noon said, grinning, as he pulled the stun cuffs activation remote from his belt. Thumbing the button, he activated the device clamped around Wolf's wrists. The jolt would be enough to stun a grown Wookiee, but just in case Noon reached down and withdrew his Westar.
"This is exactly what we need while trying to land a ship,"
Noon mumbled out loud. He stood up and faced down the passage to see what would happen to their captive.

Holding the blaster was a little bit difficult with his hands bound by the cuffs but Wolf managed to hold it steady and aim the weapon well enough considering his perdicament. He walked across the deck of the shuttle and made it to the door to the cockpit before he felt a strange buzzing in his hands. Frowning he had no time to dwell on it as the cuffs began to sting then fiercely electricute him. "Son of a....aaakkk". He cried out as he shock hit a dangerous intensity and he fell to the ground convulsing violently and began foaming at the mouth and gurgling as he was shocked over and over by the stun cuffs. "Aaaahhhhh".

The Wookiee heard the response from Wolf as soon as the cuffs had shocked him. Wa'jacca was starting to have second thoughts to keeping this man captive aboard his own ship. Perhaps that wasn't the wisest move. That probably would be one of the top 10 of things not to do after a battle. Having lived 208 years, he should have known better on that one.
Jay moved down the corridor to where Wolf was twitching on the ground, with his bowcaster aimed at him the whole time. He maintained a distance of several meters just to be safe. <"He's not safe aboard the ship."> He told Noon. <"What do you suggest?">

Noon suddenly had an inspirational thought.
"Jay, take him to the boarding ramp."
Smiling at his own cleverness Noon ran to the front of the ship and turned the Lambda around. Flying it away from the medical facility they had been headed for, Noon took the ship to a sparse clearing in the countryside and brought the ship near the edge of a clearing situated by a river.
He double checked his scanners, the nearest settlement from here was 100 kilometers, a good 4 days walk for a fit human. Also it was over 1000 kilometers from the facility they were headed to. Keeping the shuttle hovering, Noon turned to a cabin storage overhead bin and sifted through them until he found what he was looking for.
Taking the survival kit back to Wolf and Jay, Noon strapped the back pack onto Wolf's form, making sure to avoid the dazed man's arms after kicking the weapon away from him.
"Alright Jay, we'll dump him here, and when he comes to he can make his way to a settlement where he can either get off planet, or leave us the blazes alone."
Noon planned to deactivate the stun cuffs once Wolf was safely out the ship. Drawing his Westar and pointing it at the man on the floor, Noon hoped Jay would pick up Wolf and throw him out the ship. They were hovering two meters off the ground so Wolf would receive minimal injuries from the fall. Speaking to Wolf, Noon was unsure if he would be heard, but made his voice clear none the less,
"We're letting you live, even though I doubt you deserve to. If we see you following us, we will kill you."
Noon nodded to Jay, signalling him to help their guest off board...

Wolf groaned loudly and spat at Noon in response. "Eat bantha fodder sith slime". He snarled between clenched teeth. He then rolled over onto his other side and apparently forgot Noon and the wookie were there. "Beaten and robbed by a pair of rank amatures, i'll never live this down". He grumbled to himself. Wincing from the pain in his side from where he had fallen hard to the ground when suddenly being shocked by the stun cuffs Wolf grunted in both pain and irritation. He twisted onto his back and stared up at the ceiling and the his two assailants who were looking down at him pointing weapons at him in a not so friendly way. "What is it you want boy"? He rasped. "Credits"? "Spice"? "Women"? Wolf demanded. His eyes narrowed suspeciously. "You're not after it too are you"? He tried to lift his head but failed and cackled a chuckle that turned into a cough. "You are arn't you, you want it for yourself, that's why you jumped me". He said accusingly shaking a finger at Noon as he smiled at him wickedly, displaying a mouthful of yellow teeth.

The Wookiee looked at Wolf and almost laughed. The man had no idea who they were or what they had fought him for. He thought they were after his belongings. Were all beings so materialistic? Surely there were some intelligent beings out there after more than things so trivial. <"We want you to have morals and learn how to treat others. If I hear you rape another woman I will track you down and kill you like we should have on Tatooine."> The Wookiee growled. Some men didn't learn how to treat women properly.
He chuffed over to Noon, <"I think this is a good enough height."> The ship hovered at 25 feet. From this height Wolf would likely receive several bruises if he was lucky, and possibly broken bones if he wasn't lucky.
With his right arm, he grabbed Wolf by the left foot and pulled him to the boarding ramp, not being careful if he bumped into anything along the way.

Noon would have stopped Wa'Jacca when Wolf had mentioned "being after it too." He had no idea what the man was talking about, yet it seemed as if perhaps Wolf had discovered something big, something interesting. A treasure of some sort, perhaps.
But Noon made no attempt to intercept Jay. No, they were both injured and needed medical attention, and they could not safely receive it with some angered enemy trying to come after them.
Rather than stop Jay, Noon kept his weapon aimed at Wolf, while his other hand reached for the stun cuff remote.
"Try anything until you're on the ground, and I'll hit this button again! Jay, do it!"
Once Wolf was on the ground, Noon planned to deactivate the stun cuffs via the remote. For now though he kept his last bargaining chip in place...
