From the moment Professor Justinios Drake received approval to use the Thracken Observatory near the Corellian North Pole he was curious if he’d experience his first snowfall. Six days passed without event but that changed his final evening upon the planet. As the twilight hour commenced a blizzard descended upon the scientific outpost.

Allowing himself a break from scanning distant galaxies, Justinios marched outside to view the snowfall first hand. There was not any weather back home on the middle levels of Coruscant so a snowfall was a truly new experience. As soon as his reptilian eyes saw the white flakes something inside of Justinios clicked. Without hesitation he climbed onto a large snow drift. The logical, scientifically driven portion of his mind begged him to stop the silliness.

This is just frozen, crystallized water falling from the middle atmosphere. You have created anti-matter in particle accelerator, how is this more exciting?

The logical side of his mind had a point but there was something about freshly accumulating snow that was fun at a primal level. He could only think of one response to speak aloud to himself, “I have no idea, just go with it!”

Using his stubby legs Justinios leapt out onto the fresh snow below and promptly began making tiny, Aleena shaped snow angels. The professor found himself giving no care to who else might be watching and simply enjoyed having a moment free from the weight of life’s problems.

It had been a stressful seventy two hours and thirty six minutes. Not to mention all the preamble beforehand. However, it had been worth the wait. All the uncertainty. All the waiting. All the preparation. But all that was over. An even scarier adventure lay ahead. And this was one neither of them, or anyone else, could prepare them for. All they could do was hold tight for the biggest, terrifying, yet undoubtedly the best adventure of their lives...

It had been a stressful seventy two hours and thirty six minutes. Not to mention all the preamble beforehand. However, it had been worth the wait. All the uncertainty. All the waiting. All the preparation. But all that was over. An even scarier adventure lay ahead. And all she could do was lay there helplessly. Totally dependent on others. And the only way to communicate with these giants was to make an ear-piercing noise. The biggest, terrifying and the best adventure ever was beginning to unfold.

Tabby and Mostynn stepped out of the medcentre and headed towards a speeder. They proudly looked down at the bundle in their arms. The snow was starting to get heavier. The baby opened her mouth and a snowflake landed on her tongue. As it melted, the new parents chuckled. Her father shushed her gently.

"I think Kooki likes the snow!"
