"Black-one to base! I just lost the starboard engine. Mayday, mayday!" Yelled Poe.
"Base to black-one, your coordinates have been received. We are sending-" As the communication from the Resistance base cut-off and smoke billowed from the engine, the ship went into a nose-dive.

Poe pulled BB-8's eject button before pulling his own but his malfunctioned. His heart-raced as beads of sweat collected on his forehead, he put his oxygen mask on as the smoke emerged into the cockpit. The hazy air soon turned dark as he plummeted into the atmosphere of an off-course planet.

Niya saw his ship engulfed in smoke, spiraling into the atmosphere and disappear into the fog. She sprinted in its direction when she heard, Boom! Whoosh!  Her stomach wrenched when she located the x-wing in the swamp. She ran into the tepid cloudy water until she could no longer touch the swamp floor and swam the rest of the distance.

Once she got to the x-wing and pulled herself up on the nose cone, she saw the pilot slumped over the ship console and attempted to open the canopy but it wouldn't budge. With no time to spare, she blasted the controls to it. Using all of her strength, she hoisted the canopy above her head as a plume of smoke immediately rushed to her lungs making her cough, nose sting, and watering eyes blur.

She kneeled on top of the ship in front of Poe and carefully pushed him backward in his seat. She slid down over the console and kneeled by him unbuckling his harness, removing his helmet and breathing mask, revealing his matted dark hair, bleeding mouth, and forehead. The gurgling sounds around the ship warned her of the urgency.

"Hey, guy can you hear me?" She checked his breathing and shook his shoulders. His head flopped forward as she inflated his white floatation vest and clung to him.  As the ship submerged, Poe floated upright as she pushed him along struggling to keep her head above the murky water.

Once they got to land, she collapsed on his chest catching her breath and pulled herself up by the front of his vest and deflated it. Her drenched muddy clothes hung on her as she sat on her haunches observing Poe's breath. She gasped and stood when she heard ominous sounds drawing closer as the tall weeds a few feet away began to sway and quiver.

Unlocking her holster strapped around her thigh, she grabbed her blaster and braced herself. She was relieved to see a small orange and white droid rolling towards her. The droid emitted beeps of concern and sank his head towards the ground in sorrow when he saw Poe. She immediately was at ease and noticed her blaster was shedding copious amounts of water. Placing it on a boulder, she walked over and knelt down beside the droid.

"Do you know him little one?" She looked at the droid's translation screen, "He's your master? What's his name?"
"Poe Dameron." She read aloud.
She leaned over his face. "Poe? Can you hear me?" Poe's head pounded as he heard muffled sounds and then a woman's voice. Opening his eyes to a blurry shadow above him, he flinched, hitting his nose on her forehead.

Ignoring the pain, he scrambled to stand, reached for his blaster, and found it wasn't there. Then a wave of calmness washed over him, as a vision with braided dark hair stood before him.
"Who are you?" He looked around at his surroundings daunted. "Where am I?"
"I'm Niya... and you are on Dagobah." She said as she attempted to slough the mud off her forehead with the back of her hand unsuccessfully.  He looked at his drenched jumpsuit covered in mud.

"Dagobah, huh?" He said running his fingers through his hair. "Wow, I'm way off course." He shook his head in disbelief.
"Where were you headed?"
"Utapau. I feel...," he said as he started to stumble.
Niya grabbed his arm, "Here, let's get you inside." She said.
