[IC] Prologue: Frying Pan

[Jendu Verbenti]

[OoC: OMG I just lost my entire post!!   ]

[OoC2:  I'm sorry for being away so long.  I've been sick and still not feeling well.  Jendu wouldn't have been hiding.  He may be young but he's also eager to learn and prove himself to people with more experience.]

Jendu takes a moment to relax.  The blaster fire was both terrifying and exhilarating.  He tried to help with the shields but the walking carpet was roaring incoherently and his huge frame was so large that he completely blocked the controls, keeping Jendu from even squeezing in to help.

When Nova mentions that they should go over, 'angling the deflectors,' Jendu nods and replies, "Perhaps we should assess whose skills would be best suited for which controls.  I admit my education in the last few years has been more aimed at polishing my Senatorial skills.  But I have a keen eye [Perception 3D], I'm athletic [Strength 3D] and pretty quick [Dexterity 3D+2].  In your educated opinion, where would you think you could use me best." 

[Tiktuk]

Once the hyperdrive kicks in Tiktuk flexes her ears under her hood hearing the whine and noting that it has a small discrepancy and will need maintenance when they next get the chance. She then scampers her way to the common room and starts fixing herself something to eat as she watches the big folk talk about things. she jumps up placing her food on the table then climbs into the soft seat and extends the booster seat normally used for children so she can sit and eat at the table.

She just sits their quietly and watches the others trying her best to just blend into the scenery again like she is used to among the big folks.

[Garlen Veir]

Unstrapping from the gunnery station Garlen looks a little unsteady on his feet after the crazy maneuvers that Nova had looped the ship through. He takes a moment to steady himself, then heads for the common area. 

He no sooner walks in to the room than he suddenly veers off and ducks into the refresher. Everyone is treated to the sound of him obviously being sick to his stomach after the wild ride.

Moments later he emerges and walks up to the food synthesizer station and scrolls through the menu, obviously not finding what he's looking for he gives the machine a thump on the side, then turns to look at the room.

"What? Why the kriff don't we have anything worth drinking programmed into this blasted thing? When we get to CorpSec I'm gonna buy some lum, or beer or something to throw in the hold of this tub."

[Tiktuk]

Tiktuk looks at the sound of the thump and then twitches her nose. "jek jok waba waba noo noo tag gok." (I could make a distiller with spare parts.) She then takes off her mask and starts eating the rations she selected mostly various cheeses with crackers and meats as well as a cup of precious juices.

[Rahullu]

[OoC: OMG I just lost my entire post!!   ]

[OoC2:  I'm sorry for being away so long.  I've been sick and still not feeling well.  Jendu wouldn't have been hiding.  He may be young but he's also eager to learn and prove himself to people with more experience.]

Jendu takes a moment to relax.  The blaster fire was both terrifying and exhilarating.  He tried to help with the shields but the walking carpet was roaring incoherently and his huge frame was so large that he completely blocked the controls, keeping Jendu from even squeezing in to help.

Rahullu looks at Jendu and Nova "Good idea jendu, but i think it has to wait, we have pressing issues here. One is our cover blown, since the empire was waiting for us? Two We would need to alter our ships signal and im not sure we have the time for that. Buts lets discuss it with all bandits. Oh and yes Jendu you did well for the first time"

occ: sinc nova i there she will translate and the wookie translator is down

[Rahullu]

Once the hyperdrive kicks in Tiktuk flexes her ears under her hood hearing the whine and noting that it has a small discrepancy and will need maintenance when they next get the chance.  She then scampers her way to the common room and starts fixing herself something to eat as she watches the big folk talk about things.  she jumps up placing her food on the table then climbs into the soft seat and extends the booster seat normally used for children so she can sit and eat at the table.

She just sits their quietly and watches the others trying her best to just blend into the scenery again like she is used to among the big folks.

As Rahullu enters the common room with Jendu and Nova i tow, he goes forward to the little rodentlike creature ans slowly extends his hand towards it as he goes down  on his knees to appear less theatening to the small creature. "Well done Tiktu its was good thinking tying to lure the empire away and the using the ship cannons to give us cover"


Once Galen gets into the room rahulllu says"Garlen and Jendu thx for the coverfire, it was well done" he pauses shortly"Now that we are all here Nova and i have some things to talk to you about."

[Jendu Verbenti]

Rahullu looks at Jendu and Nova "Good idea jendu, but i think it has to wait, we have pressing issues here. One is our cover blown, since the empire was waiting for us? Two We would need to alter our ships signal and im not sure we have the time for that. Buts lets discuss it with all bandits. Oh and yes Jendu you did well for the first time"

"Thanks!" Jendu says happily to Rahullu via Nova.  "We would have benefited greatly from someone of your strength when pushing that thing but we managed.  I have also never encountered nor precipitated in a space chase before today.  Helping to keep a ship's system's running was an interesting experience.  We've always had specialists to that kind of thing.  But it was rather exciting!"  

When Galen enters and Rahullu rumbles something in his language, Jendu waits for the translation and then nods and sits down to give the Wookie and Nova his undivided attention.

[Garlen Veir]

Tiktuk looks at the sound of the thump and then twitches her nose. "jek jok waba waba noo noo tag gok." (I could make a distiller with spare parts.)  She then takes off her mask and starts eating the rations she selected mostly various cheeses with crackers and meats as well as a cup of precious juices.

Garlen nods at the little creature.
"I've heard of Jawa beer. That sounds like a great idea."

Then when  Rahulu, Nova and Jendu enter hequickly grabs a loaf of bread from the food synthesizer  and plops down on a chair, one booted foot dangling over the arm rest.

"Masking our ships signature may be the first order of business, regardless of our time constraints. Or perhaps when we get to CorpSec we could trade ships? Or steal one?"

[Nova]

Nova nodded at Jendu and gestured toward the common room, leading Rahullu and the Senator over. She wanted to give Jendu the benefit of the doubt. Despite her initial apprehension at having a civilian in the field with them, she had learned early on that in the Rebel Alliance, though you often made due with what you had, each person still had something they could contribute. Fortunately, Rahullu offered a response and Nova agreed.

"Lu's right, first things first. We'll have a few hours to figure that out. Right now, well... we may've just been ID'ed. We might have to mask the Crate Draggin's energy signature. Tiktuk and Veir can probably – "

Suddenly she heard retching. And more retching. As Veir stumbled out of the refresher and toward the food synthesizer, Nova saw that Tiktuk had propped herself up in one of the child-seats, saying something she didn't quite catch. "I've heard of Jawa beer. That sounds like a great idea." Veir answered.

Then Tiktuk removed her mask to eat. Because seeing the Jawa without her mask was still so uncommon, Nova couldn't help but stare for just a moment. When Tiktuk noticed and they made eye contact, Nova awkwardly offered her best fake smile in response. 

As Rahullu thanked each member of the crew in turn for their role in a successful escape, Nova mentally reviewed what their options might be:

Jury-rigging a sensor baffler or new transponder ID codes? She had no doubt that Tiktuk and Veir could pull something together. And despite firing off only a few wild shots, Jendu's reflexes seemed sound enough – plus he was willing to learn. With Veir needed on the guns, Jendu would probably be able to handle shield operations just fine, even the nav-computer if need be, as long as he prepared and focused only on the task at hand.

Once they got to the prison site, she hoped that they'd still be able to place someone amongst the staff, but who? Herself? Veir, because of his prisoner ground transport experience? Could the Senator handle such a prolonged bluff?

"Masking our ships signature may be the first order of business, regardless of our time constraints. Or perhaps when we get to CorpSec we could trade ships? Or steal one?" Veir offered. Nova smiled. She was glad the Bandits were on the same page – and she'd gladly trade their sleepy Bantha for something sleeker.

[Rahullu]

Rahullu looks at Nova and seeing no indication for her to speak up he growls. "Whenever you are ready boss, we need a few decissions. One how do we continue now are our ship id busted or our own ids something tipped of the imperials thats for sure? Two can they track us throught hyperspace and can we dropp out to jump again i dont like to go the straight way. three as me an Nova dicussed and as Garlen just said Can we mask or change our ships id? those are our first priorieties before we can start to think about getting captured we have to make sure our cover was not blown. Then he waits while Nova and or Gralen translates
