While attempting to get away from a pack of sneaky womp rats, Ki-Adi-Mundi inadvertently finds himself in the middle of a Krayt Dragon lair, and furthermore, in the middle of a Krayt Dragon hunting party led by the former Jedi Master Sharad Hett. Ki is left to observe as Master Hett's son, A'Sharad Hett, performs a ritualistic kill on the massive creature. As the two Jedi converse, Hett voices his suspicions that a certain Hutt crime boss might be instigating the conflicts between the Tusken people and the settlers.
