| As the junker of a ship slowed and pulled out of hyperspace, the icy planet was now within the sights of the pilot. This was the coordinates that he had been given from the message, but he couldn't understand why this planet was chosen over all of the others.
The small junker settled down on the landing pad of the planet's main city. Once the ramp lowered, the figure was hit with a blast of icy cold wind. His arms tightened around his body, making sure the jacket was fully closed off to the elements.
Nearly a half hour later, Aiden had made his way into one of what he believed would be a restaurant. Honestly, all he was concerned with was the warmth this place was providing him. He hadn't been given any specific place to have this meeting.
Once he had grabbed a seat and gotten a warm cup of what tasted like tea, he would sit there, waiting and hoping that he would figure this out before it got too late.

| This wasn't an usual meeting where Mika would choose a planet with a very low numbers of sentient beings. Things are going to get heated up for the Libs pretty soon, so the lady figured she should change the patterns for her choosing in meeting with allies or potential allies. This may not seem like much, but every little thing counts when you're combating an enemy with vast resources like the Empire. She also changed her means of transportation. A HWK-290 would drop out of hyperspace.
There would be a couple of FA-4 pilot droids flying the light freighter, along with a team of four astromech droids and a medical droid onboard. It was unusual to see the droids to a planet like this, but they weren't going to get off the ship. Except for the medical droid, their only purposes is to keep the HWK-290 from falling apart. The astromechs would have to work with pilot droids in keeping the ship from having a lot of inconveniences due to the harsh weather of Mygeeto.
The light freighter would descend into the planetary atmosphere, burning through the layers before getting to land onto the lone hangar bay of the only major city on Mygeeto that's also known as Jygat. Mika, under an alias she used for the front on Nar Shaddaa, would dress herself in a snowsuit that's designed to keep herself warm against the conditions. Because of her "official" job title, she was traveling to Mygeeto to "help" find Mygeetans and Muuns "jobs." She had heard of a failed rebellion on Mygeeto, and wanted to see if she could recruit any Mygeetans or Muuns into the Libs. It didn't hurt when a Jedi would be part of her recruitment base.
Underneath the snowsuit, she was dressed like a businesswoman. In order to maintain her cover, she couldn't carry any weapons that would be very recognizable. To protect herself, she had a combat knife strapped and hidden away above the ankle and a Palmgun strapped and hidden away above the wrist. Both weapons would be well concealed by her business attire. The purpose of both weapons was to have an element of surprise should she be ambushed upon. She would put the hood up and got out of the ship, walking outside in the freezing temperature. She usually had bodyguards to meetings, but this was a civilized world with multiple witnesses. She had to rely on protecting herself when something happens.
Anyway, because of the conditions the planet's in, it would make sense there won't be many restaurants since there's probably many that would rather stay in their homes and get warm. Because of that, along with a galaxy-wide set of networks the Libs have had access to, it would be easy enough for one of the contacts to inform her of the Jedi's whereabouts. The restaurant the Jedi had gotten himself into, happened to have a contact. This man was simply a waiter, which also happened to be a liaison officer between the Libs and the remaining survivors of failed Mygeetan resistance.
It didn't take long for the spy to contact Mika on a secured channel of the comlink, appraising her of the Jedi's whereabouts. She went through a few more minutes of Mygeeto's harsh climate before getting into the very same restaurant. "Whoo..." She spoke lightly to herself. It had been a long time since she would appreciate some warmth. Perhaps too long. She'd spot her contact, of which gave her a very subtle signal of where the Jedi was at. Mika nodded at the man and casually walked over to the table. The lady would put the snowsuit on the chair, before sitting down. "Hello, I'm Mika Jeebs. I'm the one you contacted about joining the Libs." Introducing herself, she extended for her hand to be shaken.

| The warmth of the tea was starting to warm his body back up, but for the first time since he had taken his seat, a cold chill ran up his spine. His head turned noticing someone walking in through the door. He turned his attention back to his tea.
Minutes later, another chill overcame his body. This time, he didn't turn to see, knowing that it was the door opening again. As he took another sip, a woman had approached his table, sitting down and addressing him. A soft smile came to his face as he looked at her.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mika. I am Aiden. So...how does this usually work?" He simply asked, hoping to find out if there was anything further she would need to know.

| The lady leaned her back against the chair softly. As the very same waiter would approach the table, taking an order from Mika. "Hot chocolate, please." She didn't want anything more, as the waiter went to get her a drink. Mika figured she wasn't going to be there very long, it usually doesn't when it comes to meeting with a possible ally. "Well, I usually ask questions about why you would want to join the Libs and fight against the Empire. Since you are a Jedi Knight, you already answered my question to why you wanted to fight against the Empire. However, there are many resistance groups or remnants of the Separatists left over from the Clone Wars. Why did you choose the Libs in particular?"
It was a time of coincidence. The Libs were raising the stakes, and because of that, the resistance is looking not only to recruit more people but also look for people like Jedi Knights like Aiden or a rugged, elitist fighter like Baird to help out. The Empire holds the advantages in numbers, technology, and training. This is why the Libs need more soldiers that are heavily trained in warfare more than ever.

| A small smirk came to his face as the lady that was now sitting across from him ordered a hot chocolate. It wasn't something he normally heard when he was out. The smirk quickly faded as she responded to his question with a question of her own. It made him think for a moment. Why did he choose the Libs over the others that she had mentioned.
Once his answer came to him, he would begin his explanation to her, "There are a few reasons, actually. First off, there's been a person that I've been in contact with that told me the Libs were needing any and all Jedi that were still alive throughout the Galaxy. This person suggested that now was more of a time than ever. Secondly, I don't believe in what the Separatists do. That is why I defended the Republic during the Clone Wars when the Order allowed." There would be a slight pause in his explanation before he would continue.
"Look, I want the Republic back. I see it as the Libs are the one and only group that has the capability and persistence to do what is needed to be done to bring peace and joy back into this Galaxy..."

| The waiter came back with the hot chocolate, handing her a mug. She decided to take a sip, listening in to what the Jedi has to say about joining the Libs. After several moments had passed and that the Jedi had laid out the reasons for joining the Libs, Mika took another sip out of hot chocolate. She wanted to keep herself as warm as possible. The lady isn't the sort of person that usually goes to planet like Mygeeto. The mug would gently be placed back on the table, "Well, then I believe you should know a few things first."
Mika had let out a small exhale, feeling a little tired. However, she was never tired enough to do business for the Libs. "This isn't the Clone Wars. This won't end in a span of three years. We don't have millions of clones or battle droids to back us up. The war we are fighting in will go on a lot longer than three years. We are a small band of freedom fighters struggling to restore freedom and justice in the galaxy. You will need our help as much as we need yours. If we are to get rid of the Empire someday, we must work together to achieve that."
The aide-de-camp went on to take a small piece of paper out of one of her pockets and handed it to Aiden. "This here is a set of coordinates to one of our outposts. Burn it after you put the coordinates into your ship."

| Aiden understood the fact that this wasn't Clone Wars, like she had commented on. Before he had contacted them, he had been willing to give his time, blood and sweat in order to try and bring this Galaxy back to what it once was. She was just reminding him exactly what he was wanting to sign up for.
As he reached down and took a hold of his cup, and shaking off the waiter as he offered more tea, Aiden would take with his other hand the small piece of paper from her, not even bothering to take a look at it and sliding it deep into his pocket.
"It may take a while, but with more and more joining the cause, it should become easier. But, first, I will head to the indicated place and get things rolling..." He wold take the last sip from the cup and set it back down on the table in front of him.
"Is there anything else I should know?"

| The lady continued to take sips out of the hot chocolate. While she doesn't usually take this type of drink, she had appreciated the warmth, or rather hotness. Mika didn't have much of an opportunity to drink one due to the locations she usually traveled to. "Yeah, well, recruiting is kind of difficult to do so. There's always a risk of words reaching our enemy. But I don't need to burden you with this." The aide-de-camp looked to the same waiter and gave him a nod, indicating that their meeting was about to be over and then they could move on to recruit the natives of Mygeeto.
She would straighten herself up on the chair as if she was about ready to leave. "One more thing. As long as the numbers in the Libs are far smaller than those in the Imperial military, we will need people like you more than ever. I would be lying if the Libs weren't just being generous in welcoming you to the resistance. Having someone from your occupation will improve the odds a lot. Just don't be surprised if we start using you for a lot of high-risk missions."
Mika would finish the hot chocolate before getting off the chair, "May the Force be with you." She turned around and walked toward the waiter so they could begin recruiting Mygeetans and Muuns into the Libs.
