vergeofgreatness: (every word you say)

There were only a few stories about Darth Vader's son that he had heard since Luke had begun his service to the Emperor. Some stories were no doubt exaggerated and embellished due to the fact that Luke was the son of the feared Lord Vader. Either way, Krennic knew that he had to tread carefully. Luke may be Vader's son but perhaps he could be a way into the Emperor's good graces if he was more reasonable than Vader or more intelligent than the Mas Amedda.

He watches the shuttle land in the docking bay, trying to make some guess as to who will step out but nothing prepared him for the reality.

A child. They had sent a child.

Krennic's expression remains composed as Luke steps out of the shuttle and approaches, offering a slight bow of his head in respect. He hadn't known what to expect Luke to be like- perhaps someone older, definitely someone taller but certainly not someone who looked like he had simply strolled in from some remote desolate planet in the Outer Rim.

"Of course. The Archduke will join us later, he has some matters to attend on Geonosis." He gestures for Luke to walk beside him as they made their way through the wide corridors leading from the docking bay. "I pulled the shipping manifests for review. I questioned the officers responsible for maintaining the shipping manifests and record but perhaps you could gain some further insight from them."

He doubts that the officers will have the same fear of Luke as they would have with Darth Vader but that's something he keeps to himself. That's something he'll let Luke deal with himself and if he's truly Vader's heir, then he should be more than capable of doing so.
