Description
The battle-scarred LAAT came to a hover over the landing pad before gently touching down, blast doors sliding open to reveal a half-dozen squads standing inside. Tooka was one of the first to hop out, letting go of his brother's arm and tilting his helmet upward to look at the light clouds. Tyke, the brother he had been holding onto for support, followed right behind him.

  "Wow," he remarked while linking his hands together and stretching them up and over his head. "I don't know what's more surprising; that Click managed to not crash the ship again or that I've been here for more than 2 seconds am I'm not absolutely drenched."

  "Hey!" Click protested as Tyke let out a small laugh. "You try making a good landing when you can see more laser bolts than sky!"

  "You ever seen it this clear before Tooka?"

"A few times actually, at least 4 now." The littlest brother said, turning back to see that the other squads had begun to load the cargo onto the ship. "I saw the sky once, I can't remember exactly when. It was pale blue, kind of like Coruscant."

"Chit-chat later boys, grab some crates," Blitz ordered. "We won't be here for long."

"Yessir Capn" Tyke have him a half hearted salute, earning an eye roll in return.

With so many hands the troopers were making fast work of the large pile of supply and weapons crates stacked up on the side of the landing pad, a small pair of eyes watching their every move. Thanks to the small repulsorlifts Tooka didn't have to worry about falling behind the others when pushing the crates.

As Tooka walked aside the remaining crates a small blue figure hopped up onto one, startling the clone. Tooka simply paused and stared at the thing for a few seconds before attempting to communicate.

"Uh, hello there." Silence "..."

'What is that?' He thought to himself, the creature seemed vaguely familiar. 'Does Kamino have some sort of infestation? Maybe he-she? is a jedi of some small species like that one green guy? Wait does that mean he's naked? No- probably like Wookies with their fur.'

"I'm CT-0004." He tried to introduce himself in hopes of prompting a verbal response but the creatures only stared back at him in silence, large tail flicking from side to side in contempt.

"Uh- I'm going to move this crate over there now..." He was pretty sure at this point that the creature wasn't a Jedi but didn't want to risk being rude to a general, that and the way it was staring at him kind of creeped the trooper out. By the time Tooka returned the creature was gone and in his place he found Tyke.

"Hey guys look what I found!" Click exclaimed, holding up a strange square piece of technology Tooka didn't recognize.

"What is it?"

"Its a camera! It captures images, sort of like a hologram but 2-D. Here I'll take a picture of you guys." Click lifted the device in front of his face and Tyke posed next to Tooka. Unsure of what to do, Tooka tried to mirror Tyke's pose. "Smile!" As soon as he said those words Tooka felt something tugging at his fusioncutter and looked down to see the creatures from before.

  "Oh hey a Tooka" Click said after lowering the camera.

  "Huh?"

  "That's a Tooka, Tooka." Tyke pointed at the little blue feline. "Seems like he likes you, heh."

  "Oh," Tooka looked at the creature a bit closer, he could see how his helmet design resembled the creature now.

  "You really haven't seen one before?" Tyke questioned "You literally drew it on your hand-plate."

  "I told you before I didn't know what a Tooka was, I was just kinda scribbling." Tooka insisted, inching away from the crate that the blue tooka was perched on as it continued to try and grab at him.

  "I wonder how it even got here," Click thought out loud. "Maybe it stowed away on our ship?"

"Get that last crate!" Blitz shouted over to them from the ship, interrupting their little chat. "Let's get out of here before the storm rolls in."

Tooka was about to ask how they should get the creature off of their cargo but it had already hopped down, rubbing against Tooka's legs before scampering off as the LAAT started up. "Should we report that?"

"...nah, let a shiny find it heh." Tyke said before grabbing the last crate, the three then turned and made their way back to the ship. Tooka took his place at Tyke's side, grabbing his forearm as the blast doors closed once more. He could see a little flicker of blue watching from the side as they took off.

This originally was just a sketch of Tyke and Tooka because I wanted to draw and see what they looked like side by side to scale, Tooka is 5'5, about 5'6-7 with his shoes. Then I sketched Salty messing with his fussioncutter because tooka bothering Tooka xD. The sketch turned into detail linework and of course I had to add shading at that point, then after I just said screw it and added a way too detailed background Wrote the short story in 50 mins for some more background over the concept of someone taking a picture of them to justify Tyke's odd pose so if you see any spelling errors please let me know.

All the clonetroopers belong to me, the Tooka belongs to Star
