"Alright. Actually, how about we call it a day. I'll meet you here again tomorrow and we can start teaching you Mando'a." Cannon offers.
-
"Yeah... That works too. I need the sleep I'm assuming?"
-
"Both of us do. Plus I haven't seen my wife much since I got back, and I'd like to spend some time with her and my daughter."
-
"You have a daughter???"
-
"Extremely long story, but yes. Her name is Tracinya, or Traci for short." Cannon says, smiling a bit.
-
"Huh... Nice name. I'll see you tomorrow."
-
Cannom nods. "See you tomorrow, ner vod." He turns to leave. [spoiler]Timeskip?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yee[/spoiler]

[b][i][u]timeskip several weeks later[/u][/i][/b] Nathaniel, clad in a tear resistant grayish blue flighrsuit, boards a Mando transport along with Cannon and another Mando in black and white armor known as Shames.
-
[b]Nathaniel shifted slightly, looking almost uncomfortable in the outfit [/b]
-
"You alright?" Cannon asks him.
-
"A bit Nervous is all.
-
"Don't be. You'll be fine." Cannon pats his shoulder reassuringly.
-
"Vor'e. Did I say that right?"
-
"You're practically a native already." Cannon grins. The man in skeletal armor turns to him. "Alright lad, we're almost to the Dxun hunting grounds. I'll go over the rules of the hunt again."
-
"Yeah, gedet'ye vaabir." [b]Nathaniel turned to face the man in skeletal armor [/b]
-
The man nods. "You'll be dropped in the jungle with your hunting knife and some supplies. Find a predator, kill it, and bring a trophy to the LZ, which you will mark with a flare. You may not take any weapons with you into the jungle besides the knife, though you may make whatever you can once in the jungle. Any questions?"
-
"Predator. The one from the movie?"
-
Cannon laughs. "No, thank the Manda. There are some real big nasties in that jungle, kill a big one and you get more respect from the clan." Cannon tells him.
-
"Understood bossman." [b]Nathaniel got to his feet and stretched out. He had left his weapons in his apartment at the dojo [/b] "Any of you have a knife by chance?"
-
The skeletal Mando draws an old looking knife, covered in runes, and hands it to him. "Good luck, lad." The ship doors open, revealing a clearing in the middle of the jungle.
-
[b]Nathaniel took the blade and turned.[/b] "Here goes..." [b]He jumped out of the shuttle into the outside world [/b]
-
He hears the heavy thump of a satchel land beside him before the transport lifts off.
-
[b]Nathaniel grabbed the satchel, checking it's contents [/b]
-
Food, a flashlight, a compus, rope, and water are inside, as well as fire starters and a few other survival items.
