Into the Fire

[Nova]

As the Bandits emerged from prisoner intake, Nova kept silent — but her gaze was clear and focused. Before they were ushered into the receiving area of the cell blocks, Nova readied herself. As soon as the gates opened and the rebels were slowly shuffled toward and past two tiers of cells, Nova's dark eyes darted back and forth, capturing what she could of each passing prisoner's face.

Everyone seemed to be jeering at them... but she made special note of anyone that wasn't. She looked for prisoners who said nothing. She looked for postures that held back, that seemed in control. In particular, her eyes sought out prisoners who appeared... serene — people who looked the way Nova had read and always imagined a Jedi would.

Nova searches for prisoners whose appearance or behavior might suggest their being a Jedi.

PERCEPTION [4d6] = 16 + Preparation Bonus [1d6] = 4 = 20

Once they were locked away, Nova noticed Rahullu immediately begin inspecting their cell... like a good solider. She guessed that DS was probably doing the same, and she hoped that Jendu was passing this latest test of his mettle as well as he had the ones prior. The Wookiee went about his work dutifully, tactically, but not without cracking wise. Nova smiled. Maybe she was rubbing off on him after all. "Ha. Next time, I'll see if I can get us a repeat-offender discount." 

She turned to see Rahullu checking the bunks, and for any scrawled words on the walls. "I do know standard Imperial telecommunication signals and protocols, in case of emergency or when without usual com-scan capabilities. And yeah, it could prove to be of use in here."

Then, she saw that Corrand was stirring. It was the most active she'd seen the Balosar since before he had become so stricken with illness. She tried to see if she could glean anything about his current condition. "Hey Radar, how ya holdin' up over there?"

Nova tries to see if she can tell anything about Corrand's condition.

PERCEPTION [4d6] = 8
OOC: Gave him a nickname already... because of the antennae! ;-)

Hopefully, there was no relapse. Then again, maybe having a suddenly "sick" comrade — at just the right time, once the Jedi was in tow — would help punch their eventual ticket out of this cage....
