The docking bay official on duty was just starting to doze off when he got a frantic page over the comm from one of the newer recruits. Normally he would have
ignored it, but this time he sensed that this was a legitimate emergency. "What is it" he asked the panicking scout. "Sir we have a vessel,
rapidly approaching, and we aren't receiving any answers to our request for docking clearance". "Call security, sound the general alarm"
ordered the official, staying calm.
When the docking bay official landed at docking bay C23, the shuttle was in sight. It was an odd craft, unlike any he had seen before. It looked old, yet it wasn't damaged or worn. All of a sudden, as if being controlled by some greater force, the shuttle slowed, and landed gracefully.
The immediate scans of the ship showed no life signs on board. Not satisfied with this, the docking bay official sent in a small crew to search the ship. After a short while the crew returned. "Sir, we have searched the ship, there is no crew on board, but you may want to see something" The crew led the rest of security through the highly engrave halls of the ship to the very center. At first it appeared there was nothing there but a tangled mass of chords, but then the official noticed a small creature, the size of a Jawa, in the center. The wires seemed to be intertwined with the creatures limbs, as if the machine and this being had become one. "What should we do?" the search crew asked.
As if in response to the sound, the chords and wires retracted from this mysterious creature and its small lifeless body fell to the cold hard floor. A loud clanking noise echoed through the recesses of the ship as a lightsaber, connected to the belt on this creature hit the floor. The security reached for there blasters in response, but the official calmed them, there was no obvious threat.
"Take him to the medical bay, quickly" the official ordered, noticing the creatures pitch black robes rippling with the slow breaths of a self induced trance. "Put this ship on lockdown and notify me of any changes in this subjects condition" he ordered of the lower level security officers. He knew in the back of his mind that he would never forget this day, and that he would be seeing much more of this strange elegant being.
