Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Yesterday looked like another typical evening in Farpoint Valley: Jailbirds, situated right next to the landing pad and the Pulsar Compound, opened and pilots and crewmen were gathering to enjoy a few drinks and some entertainment before the IMC convoy would carry them into harm's way.
However the routine was shattered when a thin, haggard-looking woman staggered inside the club, quickly identified by the security system as Senyka Darkeye, a member of the Neutron PIxies who had been missing for years. The dancer was in very bad shape - she was barely able to speak, and did not recognize her friends.
It soon became evident that she was suffering from withdrawal when she collapsed, and then begged for spice - she had to be restrained by the visiting wookiee chef Jiwarri, who had taken a break from preparing the opening of her new diner, when she begged for spice.
With the help from Ashen' Katarna and Falcun Nix the young woman was sedated and laid up in a side room of the club while the people present waited for Doctor Caer Sei'Allon, a bothan of great experience called in from Mos Carova. But even the doctor could not do much more than give Senyka sedatives adjusted to her condition and advice her friends to arrange therapy for the woman.
While Miss Darkeye is getting treated as we write this her fellow Neutron Pixies must be wondering what was the cause of her spice consumption - did she take spice herself and became addicted, or did someone push or even force spice on her? Addicting people to spice is not unheard of as a way to control them.
