Eleven years have passed since The Battle of Endor, and ten since The Battle of Jakku. With the discovery of _The Journal of the Whills_, an anc...
Leia led Breha by the hand as Lor San Tekka led the way across Squan Station. After a long goodbye, Leia had finally worked herself free from Han, although it killed her very soul to leave him.
They proceeded to the one-and-only watering hole on the platform. San Tekka ordered some food for Leia and Breha as they awaited contact from Luke.
The owner grumbled at him as he realized no one was going to order the watered-down swill that passed for alcohol at this place.
San Tekka took 3PO to the outer walkway. While monitoring Leia and Breha through the Plexiglas storefront window, San Tekka took out a communicator and wrote out a message. "Droid," he said bruskly.
C-3PO said, "Yes, sir."
"Can you translate this—"
"Of course I can, sir. I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and I can easily trans—"
"Fine. Read this message in Astromech into this communicator. I have it tuned into a shielded frequency."
"Gladly, sir," C-3PO said as he finished the message with beeps and whirrs. "There is no reply, sir."
"There isn't supposed to be."

Leia took the food gladly and gingerly ate it. She was not even sure what it was, but at least it did not make her gag. Anything was better than emergency rations.
Breha, on the other hand, did not want her portion. The girl pushed her bowl away and pouted.
"Eat your portion, young one. I'm not sure when we'll be able to eat a hot meal again."
"I don't want to. I'm tired. And this tastes yucky. Can we just go home now?" Breha whined and thrust out her petulant lip.
"We're going to a new home. Come on, one bite at a time." She lifted the spork into Breha's mouth. "That's a good girl."
San Tekka moved back inside, with 3PO guarding the door. Leia looked up at him as Breha and she finished the last of the meal. "Well, what now?"
"We wait here for further instructions."
The barkeeper approached the table. "Unless you are buying more provisions, leave now. I need the table for paying customers."
Leia looked at San Tekka with worry. San Tekka was not rattled and calmly escorted them onto the walkway.
Once outside, he said, "Why don't we stretch our legs a bit? Being on a ship always kinks my back up a bit."
He directed them down an alley of black steel walls and a grated deck. While they were waiting, they heard the steady clip of boots on the polished floor.
San Tekka pushed Leia and Breha behind him and drew his blaster, prepared for the worst. Leia reached to her back waistband to draw her blaster, groaning when she realized she had left it on the Falcon.
