(Uluv, west side of spaceport row)

Kalen Joss, the Jedi Knight who no one knew, was on his first 'assignment' since he had arrived on Arx. He was the grandchild of Torah Joss, and son of Darak Joss. And to be fair he had only been back in the 'Galaxy' itself for a mere 6 months. His grandfather had been a Jedi assigned to one of the 'lost fleets' of the old republic, and he had spent most of his life in a Galaxy 2.5 million lightyears away from the one he was standing in now.

Long story short, he needed a job when their small band of survivors had finally hitched a ride home with some space whales. And he was now compiling a detailed report on the new street narcotic called Day tripper. And to be honest with all the different contracts and contacts he had recieved for this 'mission' he wasn't even sure who he was working for at this point. It was one of clans of the Brotherhood he had joined, he knew that much for certain.

The toxicological and symptoms manifestation reports were complete, Kalen was now observing the drug users general actions and reactions on the street. By his reckoning in this area of the city atleast 20% were obvious users and another 20% were likely users.

To reach toxic saturation of the drug, which caused the overdoses it appeared as though the addicts would have to use the drug multiple times a day. And even then, for atleast a month before clinical toxic levels of the drug were even possible. The drug itself caused such strong reactions, that most people lapsed into long periods of near unconsciousness before ever getting anywhere near a toxic dose.

To actually overdose from day tripper an addicts body had to actually develope a large enough tolerance to allow the subject to even ingest enough to overdose. But after the one month mark, the instances of overdoses skyrocketed. Most addicts wouldnt survive another month on the drug. And no one who used the drug for over 2 months without dying would ever be able to be referred as sane ever again.

His detailed report and analysys was due in less then a week back on Arx, which meant he had to finish the street level study today, and investigate the distribution angle of this whole drug trade tomorrow. Immediately upon arriving Kalen had realized why this had been such an urgent request, with a reasonably high payment too. If he completed this mission, he'd easily have enough to survive for another month or 2 on Arx. But this drug was a scourge, an absolute menace, and if it spread to other sectors they'd likely have millions of dead within a few months.

Just then a junky wiggled away from a wall and tried to walk towards Kalen, obviously to trying to beg for or try to stealing something. Just as Kalen was preparing to consider defending himself the addict simply fell forward, face down in a puddle. In this drug infested ally, on a drug infested world, how sad, he thought... Kalen was about to just walk on, and carry on with his observations when he noticed the junky still trying to breathe face down in the puddly, making gurgling and slurping sounds.

Kalen stopped, sighed, and then went and grabbed the man and rolled him over so he wouldn't drown in the 2 inches of muddy, disgusting water.

As he strolled away, he hoped that his 7 part, 29 page report(so far) would be enough info to help his 'client' figure out how to fix this mess.

Kalen wasnt used to this level of poverty and destitution. His entire life up until 6 months ago had been slent aboard a small flotilla of 5 dilapidated Republic Dreadnaughts stuck in a far off Galaxy. About 4500 people in total when Kalen had been born 39 years prior. Only 1700 made the finished the trip home, being pushed by the whales(3 of the 5 ships had been destroyed during the trip through the inter galactic medium).

By trade he was medic, and a skilled one. But by training he was actually a Jedi Knight, trained at a very young child by his unassuming grandfather, Master Torah Joss. His grandfather died when he was 7 and he finished his apprenticeship under his own father. Indeed the group of dreadnaughts actually had 2 Jedi's when their trip had begun nearly 74 years prior. And by the time of the return trip, they had had a small impromptu Jedi Academy on the Dreadnaughts, Sadly only 2 of the 7 'grandfathered' Jedi had survived the trip home. Kalen, and his on again off again rival/love interest, the redskinned half Twi'lek female, Syla Tan. Unlike Kalen, who had been made a Jedi Knight by his father(now dead)nearly 17 years ago, and been made a Master only weeks before their return trip, Syla had been Knighted by her mother(now dead) only a year before the return voyage.

Kalen had heard that Syla had followed him to Arx, and had joined a different Clan, be he had quickly accepted this mission before ever reaching out to her.

Maybe he would look her up when he returned to Arx. But for now he continued observing DayTripper junkies in their natural environment.
