"Yeah, almost reminds me of our Venators for some reason..." Anakin says with a frown. He shrugs it off though. Probably just a coincidence they look similar.

INT. JUNKED VESSEL - ENGINES - DAY

The Scavenger carries the satchel and another large, found piece, over enormous pipes in the vast space, heads through the dust toward a distant SLIT OF SUNLIGHT.

REY: Parqual zatana!

A half beat and the Teedo YELLS SOMETHING BACK, threatening. BB-8's head swivels to him, then back to Rey, like watching a tennis match. Rey angrily moves to them, pulling a knife from her pouch. Rey starts CUTTING BB-8 out of the netting.

Anakin can't help the small smile on his face as the girl releases BB-8. He wished there were more people in the galaxy like her, or perhaps as kind hearted as Palpatine.

The Teedo freaks out, YELLING. Rey suddenly stands, turns to the Teedo and says, fiercely:

REY: NOMA.

The Teedo barks a sort of "AHHHHH!" Then heads off on his beast.

This prompts BB-8 to start BEEP-YELLING at the departing bully, provocatively.

"That droid has a lot of spirit Master. Remind you of someone else?" Ahsoka asks with a grin. Anakin nods. "Yeah. He's like a circular, rolling R2 droid. I'm almost jealous R2 can't do that."

"You'd still accept R2 with open arms Anakin." Obi-Wan remarks.

"Of course I would Master!"

A few of the masters in the room frown in irritation.

REY: Shhhh.

BB-8 quiets instantly. The two watch the Teedo head off. Finally, BB-8 BEEPS a question. She KNEELS to him.

REY: That's just Teedo. Wants you for spare parts. He has no respect for anyone. Your antenna's bent.

"That defines most Scavengers in the galaxy." Anakin remarks.

She kneels down to straighten up the antenna.

REY: Where do you come from?

BB-8 offers up a series of beeps, although a little defensively.

REY: Classified, really? Me too. Big secret.

"Definitely a little R2 right there." Ahsoka remarks cheekily. Anakin nods, almost a little proudly.

Once she fixes the antenna, she stands up and points in the direction of Niima Outpost.

REY: Nina Outpost is that way, stay off of Kelvin Ridge.

"I do hope that droid manages to secure the map the the Jedi," Mace says with a small frown.

"Hmm. Long and hard the path will be, I fear." Yoda says as he thinks about it.

She moves to leave, before noticing that BB-8 is still standing there.

REY: Keep away from the Sinking Fields in the north, you'll drown in the sand.

Anakin grimaces. He's encountered similar sand pits on Tatooine before.

As she begins to walk away, BB-8 glances in the direction of the Outpost, before following after her.

Rey noticed and turns around again in annoyance.

REY: Don't follow me. Town is that way.

(he BEEPS again)

REY: No!

She heads off again. Finally he BEEPS to her - something SWEET this time. That he is alone, scared, has no one else. This makes her stop. She turns and looks at him. Not liking him. But a gesture of her head says, reluctantly,

REY: Come on.

the situation with the droid and the map, a few of the Jedi in the room can't help but smile at the quickly forming bond between the two.

BB-8 quickly moves to her. They head off together.

REY: In the morning you go.

A series of beeps follow.

REY: You're welcome.

Anakin and Ahsoka give off soft laughs, the droid reminding them so much of R2's adorable attitude

EXT. STAR DESTROYER - DAY

Three TIE Fighters scream past towards the warship orbiting above Jakku.

INT. STAR DESTROYER HOLDING CELL - DAY

Poe is shackled to a chair, evidence of torture clear on him. Kylo Ren enters the room while Poe looks up weakly.

With the scene change, everyone's mood shifts at the sight of Kylo Ren on the screen.

Mace frowns deeply, and Yoda looks concerned. Anakin is wondering who this person really is, and how they are going to beat him, especially because of his blasted prophecy.

KYLO REN: I had no idea we had the best pilot in the Resistance on board. Comfortable?

"So, it's the Resistance against the First Order?" Master Koon notices. Master Mundi frowns. "What about the Republic? The opening text said that the Republic still exists."

"Something tells me that they don't see the First Order as a threat," Obi-Wan says with a frown.

"That just isn't right. This is a Sith organization here." Mace argues.

"Ahh. Hard to see it is, hmm? Hidden in the shadows they are. Perhaps seen to the Republic as more of a terrorist group perhaps," Yoda speculates.

A few Masters agree with his logic.

POE: Not really.<

KYLO REN: I'm impressed. No one has been able to get out of you, what you did, with the map.

POE: You might wanna rethink your technique.

Growing in annoyance, REN moves forward and reaches his hand out towards Poe's face. Immediately, Poe flinches and grimaces with pain. He tries to look away, but is unable to.

"What is he doing to him?" Anakin demands

"Some type of Mind Probe I believe," Plo Koon observes. The Jedi all think about this Kylo REN with worry. From what they've seen of him already, he is very strong with the Force, capable of stopping even blaster bolts in the air without effort.

KYLO REN: Where, is it?

POE: The Resistance, will not be intimidated by you.

"A brace young fellow." Master Mundi says with respect.

Kylo Ren shoves his head into the chair harshly, and then adds more pressure to Poe. He moves his head closer.

KYLO REN: Where... is it?!

Poe tries to hold on and resist the pain, but eventually it becomes to much for him. He begins to scream out in agony.

The Jedi wince. They haven't observed such a brutal tactic in torture in a long time. The closest they ever dared was an enhanced Mind Trick to try and located a missing holocrons from Cade Bane.

INT. STAR DESTROYER CORRIDOR - DAY

WHOOOSH! The cell door SLIDES UP. Kylo Ren exits, fierce, confronts GENERAL HUX who awaits him:

KYLO REN: It's in a droid. A BB unit.

GENERAL HUX: Well then. If it's on Jakku we'll soon have it.

KYLO REN: I leave that to you.

"This is not good," Anakin says worriedly.

"If the First Order get their hands on the droid, all could be lost for the Jedi." Mace says gravely.

EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - DAY

BB-8 is dropped onto the sand from a speeder.

REY: Don't give up. He still might show up. Whoever it is you're waiting for. Classified. I know all about waiting.

BB-8 BEEPTALKS a question.

REY: For my family. They'll be back. One day. Come on.

Having not much experience with family, most of the Council members ignore this. However, Anakin frowns sadly, and Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Yoda take notice. Only Obi-Wan and Yoda truly knew about what happened to his mother on Tatooine, and the strong bonds he shares with those close to him. Ahsoka has yet to learn this.

She tries to force a smile, but can't, really. She heads off. BB-8 BEEPS... then heads after her.

INT. NIIMA TRADING STRUCTURE - DAY<

Rey stands with BB-8 in front of Unkar Plutt, at his window. He reviews her goods. He glances quickly at BB-8.

UNKAR: These five pieces are worth... Let me see here... One half portion.

"I feel like that's a rip off," Anakin says.

REY: Last week they were a half portion each.<

She hates him. He leans forward.

"She definitely shares your view Anakin." Obi-Wan agrees.<

UNKAR: What about the droid?

Some of the Jedi hold their breathe. BB-8 can't be lost now.

REY: What about him?

UNKAR: I'll pay for him.

BB-8 doesn't like this at all. Rey is awkward, but curious.

UNKAR: Sixty portions.

Mace frowns, feeling a little angry at the girl for giving up the droid. She doesn't even understand the importance of its cargo!<

While Anakin is upset at this offer being made, he can't help but feel sympathetic towards Rey, since it's so obvious how starving she is. He's felt that way plenty of times in the past.

CLOSE ON HER. Stunned. Literally hungry for this amount of food, her stomach practically rumbles. BB-8 sees her interest and BEEPS furiously, not liking this conversation at all. She looks at Unkar. Looks down at BB-8. Considers it all. Finally, she hears herself say:

strong>REY Actually... the droid's not for sale.

A few Jedi breathe out a sigh of relief. Anakin manages a smile. "I don't even know if I could have accepted that offer," he says.

Obi-Wan offers him a warm smile. "You would have Anakin. After all you offered complete strangers a place in your home."

Anakin smiles at the reminder.

REY: Come on.

Unkar furious. Rey, then BB-8, head out. Recovering, Unkar watches her go with dark eyes. He picks up a communicator:

UNKAR Follow the girl and get that droid. He SLAMS the service window door SHUT.

Anakin frowns angrily. "Cursed junk dealers," he mutters. The Jedi can only hope that BB-8 and the girl will stay safe...
