Star Wars: Outer Rim task force (Rp Thread)

[MortifiedPenguin]

As she lazily ate her food and pondered on what the rest of the crew were like one of the Jedi approached her; judging from his attire and the single braid that dangled from his hair and caught behind his ear he was one of the many padawans aboard the vessel. Had the master already decided to send one of his apprentices to lecture her? It was a possibility, but from this ones demeanor she doubted it, he confidently swaggered up to one of the seats opposite her and asked, "Would you mind if I sat down here, beautiful?"Definitely not.

Bemused by this Jedi she casually gestured to the chair opposite her, "Not at all," she replied and waited for him to take a seat before she continued, or tried to.

Another Jedi approached and this time instead of asking if he might join her, he lazily slumped into another one of the seats opposite her and and said, "Hello, madame, what is your name?"

"My name is Trefs'tren'ifsano, but you can call me Streni," She said remembering that other species had trouble pronouncing names rooted in Cheunh, "What might I call you two?"

 

[Floris2123]

The woman seemed amused and gestured to a seat opposite her. "Not at all." Kaelen smiled and sat down. It seemed the woman didn't mind his compliment. Suddenly Kel sat down on a chair at the same table, Kaelen looked a bit annoyed. Just as things seemed to be going well Kel had to appear. Kel looked like a nice guy but he was reducing his chances.

"Hello, madame, what is your name?" Kel asked. "My name is Trefs'tren'ifsano, but you can call me Streni," Streni? That sounded like a nice name. "What might I call you two?" Kaelen's smile reappeared, "my name is Kaelen Amon. Unofficially a jedi knight, officially a jedi padawan." He stretched out his hand and shook Streni's hand. "Also. You have a pretty name, Streni." Kaelen was smiling more innocently now.

 

[Ruedyn]

'Well THIS is breaking a few codes.' He sat down when told he could, mostly just half paying attention. He didn't want Xerx to find this out. He seemed a fan of group lectures.
"My name is Kel, the magical disappearing padawan." he waved his hand in the air theatrically before vanishing. He proceeded to start eating, not bothering to take the cloak off.
"Sure I can't call you Tres'tren'ifsano if I wanted to, Streni." He was grinning, but still invisible. Kel felt like an ass for what can basically be summarized as 'magical cock-blocking', but he felt Kaelen needed it, and this was somewhat entertaining.

 

[Redryhno]

Grissk finished his own meal and stood up from his seat. After placing his tray on the stack of trays awaiting cleaning and wandered to where the padawans sat around a Chiss woman.

"Padawans, let this female eat in peace without your disturbing presence,"

The droid translated,

Forgive them please, they are still young and have not yet learned to control their emotions to the fullest extent."

He turned to Kel poked where he believed his neck to be with a claw,

"Now finish eating where you are visible to all, the crew does not need to feel they are being watched from every crevice and shadow of the ship.

" He again turned to the Chiss woman,

"Again I apologize on their behalf if they caused you any grief. When you are done, search and find Master Xerx, it will be a good exercise for you. I will be waiting with him. There is a disturbance in the Force."

The last part was meant to be a joke on his part, though a Doss smile is a bit of a vague expression to behold.

He walked the corridors of the ship until he found Master Xerx, on the bridge. Grissk did not enter, instead standing out side, awaiting the padawans and the Jedi Master.

 

[Ruedyn]

"OW, my arm!" Kel turned visible again. He was starting to dislike this one, at least Kaelen was passive-aggressive. He got up, and gave a weak apology to the Chiss about time wasting, before heading off. He dumped his food in the nearest waste thingy, before turning invisible again. If you have it, why not abuse it? Kel smiled, and turned back to visible when he found Grissk.
"Hello. I control myself pretty well. Just saying, don't judge angry-pants."

 

[Redryhno]

"Hello. I control myself pretty well. Just saying, don't judge angry-pants."

"You have yet to pass the trials young padawan, and neither have you seen the universe in all its beauty and savagery. I was not always with the Jedi, young one, I know [i]exactly[/i] how easy it is to fall. But as I asked you before, do not *Translation Error, cross-referencing for understandable equivalent* cloak yourself in light around the crew of this ship, they will have enough problems should we run into danger out here on the outer rim without you adding to their woes."

Alysa had returned to her second helping of the morning's coffee. She didn't really like the taste of the strange beverage, but she did enjoy the stimulating effects. She knew she had to be careful with the substance being a Ghostling; caffeine overdose was a real possibility.

It was as she finished that she noticed the other Padawans getting into a bit of a fight; apparently over not abusing force powers and/or women. Somehow, this didn't surprise her in the slightest. None-the0less, it would need to be curtailed, else she'd need to fulfill her job as Medic earlier in the day then normal.

Floating over to the other Padawans, she tried to break them up. "How about we all calm down; you know what Master Skywalker has to say about letting out emotions control us, right?" she said to Kel and Kaelen, the two most likely to get into trouble. Then she turned to Grissk, adding "This is just a suggestion, but maybe you shouldn't phrase your concerns as an order; humanoids tend not to respond as well when ordered."

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

Cadius took in the mess hall. Mess was the right word for it, a bustle of mercs, Jedi, and Republic personnel jockeying for space and the largest helping of whatever nightmare substance this was that passed for nerfloaf. He sunk his fork into it and tried to lift it to his mouth, only for it to apparently liquify and slip between the tines back onto the tray.

"I'm pretty sure this needs to come with a gallon of either juma or painkillers."

He switched to his spoon and loaded it, then slid it into his mouth as quickly as possible.

The worst part really was that it didn't taste all that bad. Something this horrendously awful, this badly prepared should feel like being stabbed in the mouth with disgusting, and it made Cadius contemplate just what it was they put into this. Nerf was right out, nerf did not move like that on the tooth. Gornt? No, not tough enough.

"Is this Mynock!?"

Cadius knew that on some planets they voluntarily ate Mynocks, even considered them a delicacy, but Cadius was firmly of the opinion that those planets needed serious help.

Needing a distraction from the horror in his mouth and on his plate, he looked around. This that a Chiss?

Blue hair and skin with red eyes...Cadius had heard of the Chiss and the Chiss Ascendancy, they were the boogeymen of dozens of spacer tales, bizarre, dogmatic, isolationist aliens with strange technology. His only direct experience with them had been during the Thrawn War, working with Karrde and the Smuggler's Alliance. What the hell was a Chiss doing on a Republic warship? Chiss/Republic joint op? Not a spy, no spy would be that stupid. Maybe a defector?

Frak.

His concern shifted to amusement as he watched a Jedi wearing a blindfold start trying to flirt with the Chiss. The compliments might work better if it wasn't blatantly obvious you can't see. The comedy was unfortunately cut short by another Jedi walking over and behaving like a hooting jackass, using some kind of cloaking ability to act like the invisible spaz.

Note to self, start carrying thermal sensors. He spooned another mouthful of the unidentifiable meat product into his mouth, doing his best to swallow before he could taste it or think about it.

 

[Birdfalcon]

Xerx was on the bridge making plans to head towards the hylian way where most of the attacks have been taking place "The shivsasten will be relucatant to allow....excuse me Captian" Xerx turned and looked to the door "Grissk you may enter...I take it kel and kaelen are acting like younglings who just discovered thier ablites agian?" he said walking over to the door and opening manually not that he couldn't just use the force but more out of respect for Zach and his crew. "I suppose I will have to make training and medtation today that much stricter as it seems they have engery to burn" he said with a chuckle as he stepped aside to let the Knight in


"You should have that ghostling of yours find a way to keep em from harrasing my crew it's bad enough yer idealistic pretty boy farmer/sith lord's son master convinced his sister that having Jedi on my ship was a good idea." Came a reply from Zach who was bent over a table looking down at tatical maps. Xerx turned back to Zach "Captian..may I remind you to act the role of a Republic Captial Ship Captian, You are not among your cantina buddies from the rebellion anymore there is no need to be uncivilized"

 

[Ruedyn]

Kel made a mental note to not make people stick to the celibacy thing in the future. Just makes him the bad guy. At least the Chiss seemed smart enough to not fall for his colleagues flirting.
'God help us when a jedi figures out all the uses of the mind trick.' He smiled, though he was annoyed he wasn't allowed to practice his go to. Not like he'd ever need to turn invisible or anything, golly, how could that ever be useful? He shook his head, and barely paid attention to the accomplished jedi, and his threat of stricter meditation. He actually liked that part anyways. His mind turned to loopholes. He could simply half cloak himself, but seeing the top half of a jedi would be worse than just going whole hog. Better yet, sod the business and go do some combat training. He went with that one, walking off.

 

[Floris2123]

"My name is Kel, the magical disappearing padawan." Kel waved his hand and he turned invisible. Still, through Kaelen's eyes nothing changed, Kaelen used the force to see. So someone using the force to cloak themselves was just as visible as anyone else. "Sure I can't call you Tres'tren'ifsano if I wanted to, Streni?" Kaelen was starting to get annoyed again, he wanted Kel to go but he didn?t seem to be leaving anytime soon.

Then Kaelen noticed Grissk approaching. Great first Kel, then Grissk, just leave me alone dammit. Grissk started speaking and the bot started translating "Padawans, let this female eat in peace without your disturbing presence. Forgive them please, they are still young and have not yet learned to control their emotions to the fullest extent." He is calling me padawan and trying to tell me what to do? Who the hell does this guy think he is?! Kaelen's face betrayed a hint of anger as he looked at Grissk. "OW, my arm!" Kel said turning visible. He said something about having to hurry and walked off. Kaelen sighed, he didn't want to go but he thought it would be best to leave too.

Kaelen was just about to leave, when Alysa appear. Not another one.. Kaelen was starting to get very sick of the other Padawans. "How about we all calm down; you know what Master Skywalker has to say about letting out emotions control us, right?" Great even more people trying to lecture me, they aren't even a higher rank then me, dammit. Kaelen stood up and smiled at Streni, "I am afraid I must go now, I hope to see you again later." Kaelen smiled as charmingly as possible, then turned around and walked towards his new master.

"Grissk you may enter...I take it Kel and Kaelen are acting like younglings who just discovered their abilities again? I suppose I will have to make training and meditation today that much stricter as it seems they have energy to burn" Kaelen sighed, this just wasn't his day it seemed.

Kaelen walked towards the room and heard the captain and his new master arguing. He didn't much like his new master but at least he had proven himself, the captain was just another Jedi hater it seemed. Kel walked the other way, he seemed to head towards the training room. Kaelen would have joined him, if he hadn't interfered earlier. But now he didn't want to join Kel in skipping meditation. Kaelen decided it would be best to play the part of the good little Jedi for now, he only needed this master permission and then he would be instantly promoted.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Titus finished his meal and left the mess being annoyed at the building idiocy of the conversation his roommates were having. He went back to his quarters and began armouring himself in the set he had been building since he had been pulled from the fire all those years ago.

He had it on except for the pack, his kit, the kama, and the pauldrons. But they wouldn't matter if the systems weren't working properly, seals holding, HUD cycling, smart-link functioning, air filter functioning, vibroblade functioning, energy shield nonfunctional.
He started plugging the rucksack in, making sure it's systems were interfacing correctly, seals interfaced and holding, HUD interfaced and functioning, smart-link functioning, air filter interfaced and cycling, air supply functioning and full, vibroblade functioning, energy shield nonfunctional.

He looked at his locker pulled a datapad out and with a stylus wrote "shield still fucked, where did Katarn get a running one? Needs research."

He pulled his kama out and attached it to his belt, then pulled his pauldron out and attached it to his cuirass. He then began the long process of making sure all of his kit was functioning and still interfacing correctly with the armour

 

[TheBlueShotgun0]

Yeah head back to the barracks for now.

"Understood, sir." Devin said, and left the captain's table. He was quite surprised at how... how unprofessional the captain acted. In the Stormtrooper Corps, and indeed most Republic units he'd served with, the commanding officer was much less lax. The difference was almost disturbing, and it definitely made Devin uncomfortable. The irony was not lost to him, however. To think of all the times he's complained to his fellows about overly stern officers, and the one time he has a relaxed and casual superior, that very trait makes his skin crawl.

As he moved to leave the mess hall, he spotted a grease monkey of a man, probably one of the hired pilots, trying to stomach the mess on his plate. As the pilot took another spoonful, Devin realized he recognized him; he was the captain of the privately owned ship aboard, though he couldn't put a name to the face. He approached the table and spoke up. "Excuse me, but you're the captain of that ship in the hanger, aren't you?"

 

[Asclepion]

"Hey, you're Cadius Eldane, aren't you?" Jen Seele exclaimed, cutting him off and pressing her body against his. "I've heard of you- wow, how it must feel to be such a swashbuckler! I love adventurous men! You will show me your ship, right? Oh I can't wait to see the inside!"

She arched her back, giggling like a schoolgirl, showing ample cleavage and turning her head upside-down to face the men he was talking to.

"Come on, let's go!" she chirped, pulling his hand. Outside, they passed an astromech droid, D1-G4, on it's way to the utility modules.

Cadius wasn't stupid. He knew a fight when he saw one. And the woman from Aridus alerted him- and his Wookie friend was close behind...

The bounty hunter had found the smuggler. The rest was the capture and covering of her tracks by destroying the ship. She shuddered, the shudder of a woman who feels orgasm approaching.



[HEADING=2]KABOOOOM!![/HEADING]

In an instant, the droid D1-G4 was engulfed in a surge of energy that blasted outward in every direction. Other droids were thrown through the air in a ferocious storm of lightning and vaporized metal. The walls and ceiling collapsed in molten slabs and the entire section shook. The pressurized oxygen tanks were impacted, caving in and releasing their compressed, liquid contents in a second explosion, ignited by the heat and energy. The chamber became an inferno, fueld by the air as a torch.

The bridge computers responded immediately, sealing off the section and cycling through an emergency check and self-repair. The words flashed across panels;

[hr]

EMERGENCY- LIFE SUPPORT​

[PrinceOfShapeir]

Cadius looked up from his mouthful of unidentifiable meat, chewed, swallowed. By the stars, you could lose a dog in this woman's tits. He cocked an eyebrow at her flirtatious dialog. Space, she's laying it on thick.. He looked at her for several seconds. Waited for the punchline. Then noted the pair of blasters on her hips.

A pair of blaster pistols isn't standard issue. So she's a merc like me...or she's not supposed to be here. And Mercs don't behave this way.

"Sorry, ma'am, my partner and I have a strict policy. No hookers aboard the Ace. Besides, I'm just getting over the last time I got an infection down there and I'd prefer to not get a fresh one." He pushed his plate back and got to his feet, heading out of the mess hall. "Nice tits, though."

 

[TheBlueShotgun0]

You've got to be kidding me. Devin thought as the mercenary started flirting with Cadius. I swear I'm in a mad house. Devin vividly remembered the punishment for such behavior in the Stormtrooper Corps. This girl was lucky that the New Republic didn't handle it the same way. As Cadius walked away, Devin turned to the girl with a look of disgust. "You're on a military vessel. I suggest you act like it." he said simply. "By the way, we'll be arriving at the Bespin system in a few minutes. Get ready for combat." Devin looked over her skimpy outfit. "And put some clothes on." Not wanting to hear any retort, he walked away in pursuit of the Captain.

"Excuse me, Captain." he said as he approached Cadius. "You never answered my question, though I suppose that women did. You are the owner of that ship, yes?"

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

Cadius took the corner, dropping his hand to his blaster pistol as he got out of line of sight. That hadn't been just some harmless flirtation, he'd stake his ship on it. He turned as the soldier approached him, keeping his hand under his jacket, close to his pistol. "Yes, I'm Captain of Ace of Sabres. Was just on my way back to my ship. Can I help you?"

 

[Asclepion]

Unperturbed, Jen leaned into Cadius's ear and whispered in a low throaty voice.

"You've angered a very powerful man. You should jump ship. Now."

She stroked his collar before breaking off. Sirens reverberated throughout the vessel.

 

[TheBlueShotgun0]

"Yes, I'm Captain of Ace of Sabres. Was just on my way back to my ship. Can I help you?"

"We're going to be exiting hyperspace in a few minutes. I'm sure the Captain will be giving you the full brief soon, but you should ready your ship for combat ASAP." Devin noticed the hand inside Cadius' jacket, probably gripping a weapon of some kind. He supposed it was second nature for his type; a lot of these mercs had been outlaws under the Empire. "No need to be paranoid; we're all on the same side here."

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

The woman muttered something in his ear, touched his collar. Right. Bath time later. "I'm not so sure. We're in a combat zone, there's no telling who might have crept aboard. I'll go prep Ace for launch."

He flipped out his comlink. "Hektorr? Hektorr, where are you? Start warming up the ship, we're about to drop out of Hyperspace. And keep your eyes out, there's some nutcase dressed in lingerie who is...just keep an eye out for Human women flaunting their tits. I'm on my way back to the hangar."
