He's very efficient. It doesn't take long.

Good. He's glad he's done some good, here.

And then another shuttle arrives, and everyone is loaded into it.

He'll quietly board.

They make it to the Shrine without getting shot down again. It's a imposing stone edifice, towering above the rocky plains surrounding it. In the distance, he can make out what might be smaller subsidiary buildings. The pilot is carried inside and the commandos follow. Rafa is stopped by a robed Voss.

"Outsider. I am Dalga Wo. You come as foreseen."

"It is an honour to meet you."

"Because of your arrival, a man has lost his limbs. This was foreseen. A healer will attend to him. But in all things, there is a balance. Will you be the one to pay the cost of his injury?"

"Yes," he says immediately, because what else is he going to say?

"Very well. Come with me." He leads the way inside the shrine. It's well lit, but there is a palpable sense of weight surrounding him. This is an old place, an important place.

He follows, keeping his head down.

They come to a small room where the pilot is laying on a bed. A Voss kneels next to him, meditating. When Rafa enters, they look over.

"Are you ready?"

"—what do I have to do?"

"You are the balance. Action on your part is not required."

...okay. He nods.

The healer bows their head, and Rafa senses the Force swell in the room as a soft golden glow rises first around the healer, then the pilot, and then Rafa himself.

He feels stabs of pain in his legs, growing sharper and faster until it feels like they're being ripped off.

He doesn't cry out. Not because of the pain. But he does lose all strength in his legs and fall down.

It seems to last for a timeless eternity.

And then suddenly it's over. Not even any lingering tingles.

He spends another few seconds shivering before opening his eyes again.

The pilot has legs again.

...and he?

A quick check will reveal his legs still attached at the knee.

Is anyone else legless?

Nope.

—okay. He beams. This is really cool.

"We thank you for your help, outsider," says the healer.
