Murder on Kashyyk (A Bo/Shara production ;) )

[Shara]

NOTE* Incase you don't notice, I'm going with the scenario that Revan helped the wookies revolt and free themselves.

PROLOGUE:

He had to tell them. He had to.

Gwoorokk wasn't sure how it had happened. As Senator's went, he was low down on the popularity list. Not because he was bad at what he did, but because no one ever noticed him. To the others he was nothing but a Wookie, and a stupid one at that.

Yet now he found himself the possesor of valuable information, information he had to get to the Jedi Council before it was too late.

If it wasn't already.

He was fighting against time. If the Sith didn't already know he knew, they would soon. It was a matter of reaching the safety of Coruscant before they figured out where he was.

The large, furry Wookie male walked out of his hutt, sliding the datachip into his belt pouch as he went.

There was one good thing about Kashyyk- any offworlders would stick out like a gizka in a fuzzcat litter.

He walked along the winding tree bridges, every now and then growling out a greeting to someone he knew, heading for the spaceport. He was fairly confident that he was safe here. After all, let someone try to attack.... there were Wookies all around who would gladly help him.

Reaching the space port he waved a furry hand at the dock manager, who growled in reply.

Another bark for good measure and he entered the dock containing his personal ship. The engines weren't on. Strange. He had told the pilot to come ahead and prepare for launch.

Weary, he trudged up the boarding ramp and let out a roar, barrating the pilot for being so slow. No answer.

That was the first hint he got that something might infact be wrong. His pilot had never been late before.

He walked into the cockpit.... and stopped short. The pilot was there, alright, but his head wasn't... it was on the flore next to him....

Sickened, Gwoorokk started to back out.

"I don't think so, beast." a dark, deep voice hissed from behind him.

The wookie turned, startled, but his roar of indignation was cut off by a howl of pain as a blinding red blade sizzled into his chest, twisting violently.

The man behind the blade, a dark, hooded figure, stepped forward and pulled the blade out none to gently.

The smell of singed hair and flesh filling his nostrils Gwoorokk sank weakly to the floor, growling wordlessly.

"Nighty night, Senator."

The blade flashed again, severing the wookies head from his shoulders.

Deed done, the Sith nelt beside the corpse and rummaged through the creature's belt pouch. Finding what he wanted he straightened, turning away.

It would be a while yet before anything like authorities found the bodies and by that time he would be long gone........

(Anything I write is in the view and thoughts of the detective)

Chapter One:

I had just walked out of a small cantina on Tatooine. Some people looked at me and gasped. Yeah, I knew why. I was only the most famous detective in the galaxy! Anyway, like I was saying, I had just left a small cantina on Tatoine when this Rodian ran up to me.

"Detective!", he said. And silently, I thanked the Force that he spoke Basic.

"What?" This Rodian interested me. He wasn't like others. He seemed more civilized. Like a business man.

"I've just recieved a message from Kashyyk! You're needed there Immediately!"

"Thanks. Here's something for your trouble."

I tossed the Rodian five credits. After all, it was the least I could do. I made my way to my ship, but I wasn't in any hurry. It was probably some robbery anyway.

As I walked along the streets to the Starport, I saw more crime than flies on a Gamorrean. Small thefts, slave trading, and the occasional murder. Why didn't I interfere? Because I'm smart. I know not to interfere with Hutt business. Which is what most of the crime here is.

When I finally reached my ship after ten minutes of walking, I boarded her and preped her for launch. A few minutes passed while the engines warmed up. During that time, I took the liberty of making me a small sandwhich. Nothing too fancy. Just some meat and and veggies. Like I said, Nothing too fancy.

After I made my sandwhich, I went back to the cockpit and looked at the status of the engines. Both of them were ready to fly. I set the sandwhich down in the seat next to me and took my ship into space. In no time, I had entered Hyperspace and was on my way to Kashyyk.





I exited Hyperspace just outside Kashyyk's orbit. I turned on the translator in my ship just before Kashyyk Security came on.

"Unidentified ship, please state your business."

"I'm the detective called here."

"Land in sector A."

I piloted my ship for Sector A and landed it there. I'd never been to Kashyyk, so I thought It might've been hard to land here, but I was wrong. To my surprise, instead of trees that I had to go through, I just had to land my ship on a wooden landing pad!

I exited my ship and stepped onto the walkway connecting the landing pad and the village. I didn't even take five steps when a group of people-Kashyyk security I guessed-stopped me. Thankfully, one of them was human and not a Wookiee.

"Greetings, Detective! I am head of Kashyyk Security here!"

"Yeah, yeah, what did you guys want me for?"

Apparently, this job was more serious than I first though, 'cause the Head of Security became pale.

"Well, you see sir, our Senator-Senator Gwoorokk-has been......."

"Been what?"

"Murdered", he said quietly.

"A murder, huh? This is turning out to be more interesting than I first thought."

I DID IT!

Chapter two:

Through the view port of my ship I watched the foresty world of Kashyyk get larger and larger as I approached it.... It was, in it's own right, a very beautiful world. It was miniscule in comparison to Corellia, I thought, but that was just me.

Several lights blinked on and off on the control panel as the ship entered into orbit, quickly silenced by the flip of a swith as I started the landing sequence. In do order the vessel settled down lightly on the sturdy wooden dock and I departed, shaking off the hood of my robes as I stepped out into the dim light.

He was waiting for me, apparently quite miffed by my belatedness.... all well, served him right.

"Dex, old friend, sorry for the delay." I remarked, approaching him and bowing rather stiffly. " I got a bit, shall we say, caught up." and I wasn't about to give him the details. "What'd I miss?"

"The Kashyyk Senator has been murdered." he responded, eyeing me with a frown. "Apparently, by the blade of a lightsaber."

Apon hearing these words I forced my expression into that of shock and horror, shaking my head.

"Most desturbing." I looked up at the tree canopy overhead, frowning deeply. "Only a Sith could have done it.... but why?"

"That's what we have to figure out." came the gruff responce.

I looked back down at him. "Any leads so far?"

"None. Whoever did it was good... not a trace of them left."

"Have you spoken to the Wookie chieften?"

"Not yet. I was waiting for you."

"Then lets get to it, shall we?"

I set off across the wooden walkway, trusting he would follow. Most interesting, all of this was. Most interesting.

(FINALLY! ;D)



I followed him closely. There was something different about him, but I couldn't put my finger on it. He probably just did something with his hair or something that made him act differently. Probably got married for all I know!


"So, Kit-"

I had to move off to the side as a few....wide, Wookies passed by us

"-Any Idea why the senator was murdered?"

"Not really.", He replied.

"Maybe we'll find some kind of motive from the Chieftan."

"Maybe"

"Anything new going on? We haven't seen each other in ages!"

"Actually, I've gotten a few cases and solved them! But I always liked to work with you on cases more!"

I laughed. It was really good to see him again! He used to be my partner before starting his own Detective Agency. Now we were working together again, and it felt good! Our time together was short, as we walked into the Chieftan's hut

"Anyone know Sherriwook?"

A few wookies started to step forward and I rolled my eyes. Were these things stupid or something?!

"Anyone other than a Wookie?"

I could hear Kit laugh beside me. As if someone heard my silent prayers for a translator, a protocol droid walked into the hut

"Greetings, I am TC-6A", it said.

"Can you speak Wookie?", Kit asked the droid. Kind of a stupid question to ask a security translator droid.

"Why yes, I can."

"Okay, then. Chieftan, can you please give us any reason why the Sith would want your senator dead?", I always liked to start interogations.

The Chieftan answered in his own language and the droid was happy to provide a censored translation.

"The Chieftan says, 'Senator Gwoorokk never stopped speaking of big news concerning the Sith just days before his assassination. We never had any idea what news it was, though'."
