The freighter landed in the Coruscant docking bay with ease. The landing ramp came down and travelers from around the galaxy bursted out into the area, grabbing luggage or catching their children who strayed away. Among the people disembarking the ship was a tall blue Duro.
Amateur pilot doesn't know how to land a ship. Demek grabbed his bag and headed out to catch a speeder. He saw one, a nice bright yellow one. The pilot was a fellow Duro. He walked up to the speeder and came to a stop beside the driver. "Born a pilot. Always a pilot."
"Well, well. It's always good to see a friendly face." The pilot smiled, "Hop in. Where to?"
"The Jedi Temple." Demek said.
"The Temple, eh." the Duro smirked, "A Duro studying in the way of the Force rather then piloting. Never thought I'd see the day."
"Neither did I." Demek said, "Hey maybe I can get the job of being a pilot. You never know."
"Aye. That would be true. Lets hope." The pilot hit the thruster ignition. "We'll be there shortly. Buckle up."
"Bah, I don't like restraints"
"I know, same here. But, it's the only thing that keeps me in this job. Plus the fine here is a big one. And you wouldn't want to fall from up here."
"Isn't that the truth." Demek said and peered over the side of the taxi at the traffic below.
The speeder juked left and right. Out one lane of traffic and into another. The engine echoed when they past between two large buildings.
"Some fun, eh?" The driver said, "We're almost there. Sit tight."
The taxi came out of the buildings and then pulled a hard turn. They came out in front of the temple.
Demek felt his body being pushed into the cushioned seat. "Can we do that again?" he said jokingly, "Wow it's beautiful."
"Always like passing by this way." The Duro pilot smiled, "I'll land near the main entrence. I'm sure someone there will tell you where to go."
The speeder came around the Temple. The sun lit up the entrance of the building. Intensifying it's beauty. The repluser lifts kicked into the landing cycle with little noise and the taxi came to a nice calm hover over the surface.
Demek hopped out onto the ground. He grabbed his bag. "Thanks for the ride. How much do I owe you."
"Free. It's nice to meet someone who appreciates this place as much as I do. Especially a fellow Duro." The Driver nodded at Nemek. "Good luck. This is my usual root so I'll see you around."
"See ya." Demek said as he waved goodbye to the pilot.
The air taxi speeded off. Demek watched it until it was out of sight. There goes a good pilot. I hope to see him around. He's a good man. Well into the Temple. I couldn't have imagined a better place. He walked up through an archway and into a flowering garden with a fountain in the center. He nodded and smiled at the people he walked by. He reached the door and opened it. Inside it was nice, silent except for the hum of the lights and the heaters. The comms buzzed but only for a second until someone answered. He walked up to the main desk and waited until the person was done with their paperwork before he started to speak.
