Gray could hardly see for the pain from his beating for stealing food as a guard shoved him into his cell for the night. Oh he had known better, he really had, but the little scrap of fish left from his owners' extravagant dinner mixed with not eating anything for nearly three days made him abandon his training for that brief second. What made the beating particularly sting is that he hadn't even gotten the morsel to his mouth. So along with his stomach cramping from hunger his back was now bloody and raw and the offending hand broken.

The young boy curled up on the hard rock floor and cried silently, wondering if anyone would ever come to rescue him. "Mama...Papa...Big Brother....Where are you?" He whispered, closing his eyes and trying to sleep despite the discomfort and pain.

He dreamt of Boeshane and its night time chill, the scent of it ocean air and the sounds of home. It was a bitter sweet dream one that lead to confusion when he woke up to a bitter cold. Gray slowly opened his eyes and looked around in utter surprise and loss as he stared out at a field of snow in front of him and buildings behind him.

Where in the Universe was he?

Giving the little boy a small smile, Andy closed his hand around the child's gently. "Gray? That's a nice name. It's nice to meet you, Gray," he said. To himself, he sounded like an idiot, but he'd never really had to deal with kids; he was out of his element. The one thing he did know was that he had to treat this one with care; like he was fragile, because...maybe he was.

Andy led him slowly toward the buildings. "Where are you from, bud?" he asked in an amiable tone, hoping to get Gray to open up a little bit, or at the very least to trust that Andy wasn't going to hurt him. "I'm from the United States. Earth," he added to gently prod the boy into answering.

"Good to meet you, Master Andy." Gray murmured and followed carefully behind him his body protesting the movement yet he refused to complain. Maybe it was from years of indoctrine or maybe just his own stubbornness but either way he bore the pain with silent tears until the man asked where he was from.

"Colony planet Boeshane...Boeshane peninsula." Gray looked up at the man then, a stressed look on his face. "Where am I? ...When am I?"
