Janri: I feel... tired... *she falls onto the ground with a thud* I think my organs got tossed around... but I'm not sure if they're still out of place, or I just feel sick.
Nexa: Is it cause it's her first time, or is it normally like this for you Val?

Rax: A what now? *he sounds confused but figures it out on his own*
*Someone is waiting for them at the starport, a mysterious armored and robed individual*

*Waiting outside the ship is someone who looks like a rebel veteran, wearing a combination of older rebel armor and newer armor manufactured by the new republic and other entities. They're waiting patiently with a datapad*
Reashe: Lets get started then. *she gives a nod and gets off the ship*
Rin: Ready to go then? *she starts to get up, offering a hand to Seku*
Val: you may have gotten a few bits misplaced… hopefully that sorts its self out. *she looks over at nexa* I have more control tho I’ve never tried the way janri just did, I open portals. *she walks over to janri*
*a few feet away a rift opens as Lythe steps out*
Lythe: I hope I am not interrupting.

Jorin: *puts her hood up* we’re still in orbit so there’s time for sight seeing later… *she still seems troubled by something as she walks back to the ship lost in her own thoughts and oblivious to her surroundings*

Krystal: Not off the top of my head. *goes through the menu*
Janri: *She groans* Would opening a portal make it not feel like my stomach is upside down?
Nexa: It might be better to do it the "old fashioned" way then... even if Mom is capable of it, I get the feeling she lacks the experience she'd need for a trip like that. *She sends a message for the ship to head to warp towards Drozana* Oh, Hey Lythe. Not really, Mom was trying out a new ability and we were talking. What brings you here?
Janri: I'd offer a snack but I think I need a moment before I make anything... Why the guest? *She gives a nod towards Bri*
***
Figure: *Her robes are a scarlet or crimson shade, a deep red almost like blood mixed with some advanced armor. It gives her an appearance almost like a Jedi general, except the robes and the armor are very different aesthetically compared to the jedi general armor. She approaches with a hood, then lowers it revealing crimson skin and dark black tattoos along with intense eyes. Its clear she's a female crimson Zabrak* Mmm, Mandalorians yes? Is one of you perchance the Dragon? I was hoping to meet with them.
Rax: Maybe we should have introductions first?
Hanu: I am Hanu, Nightsister.
***
Rin: It will be fiiiine. *She's wearing her usual sith based armor*
Veteran: So, Seku'dia yes? Lets see... Description is Blue Twi'lek, served in the clone wars, served in the rebellion... Do you have any proper identification I can double check, to make sure? *The man looks up to her from the datapad*
Reashe: *She waits beside Kenzie, taking a look at their ancient surroundings. While many buildings have modern updates or have been painstakingly rebuilt in the old Jedi architecture, there's still signs of how old the city of Knossa truly is.*
Val: I think portals are a no go for you, but from this test I believe it’s short distance sight based. I’ve never tried something like that myself, hmmm. *she ponders for a moment*
Lythe: I was wondering if you could give me some advice seeing as you three are my only acquaintances. And this is my commanding officer commander Victoria, “along for the ride” so to speak. *she looks over at val* you look different.
Val: oh yeah I guess you could say I had a bit of a home coming. But I’m the same… mostly. *she looks at bri* hmm you must be related to another counterpart thru marriage.
******
Jorin: *has on a plain navy blue shirt with black combat pants all covered by a black cloak, it’s difficult to see her face underneath the hood.* I may be able to being you to him. What’s this about?
******
Kenzie: so how old is this place?
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: I'm not her commanding officer, I'm her executive officer, but hey you get what she means. *She looks at Val* how could you tell? Not exactly like Victoria is an uncommon name.
******
Freeman: Wait, nightsister? As in Dathomirian Nightsister?... Well this is gonna be interesting. Aren't most of you supposed to be... Well not Zabrak? It's weird, they kept all those Zabrak men but no Zabrak woman... Well apparently not none as it would seem...
*****
Erin: Is it weird I'm in the mood for like... Sushi, Chinese food, and Mexican?... Not all wrapped up together, but like having a variety.

Seku: Okay you have New Republic records available, then Yes, I am Seku'Dia Fenn, Jedi Knight, Alliance officer and operative, privateer. Here I thought you only had records from the temple, so I excluded my last name. Will an old bounty puck do? *She asks pulling out the bounty puck which displays an Imperial bounty on her from her Pirating and pre-alliance rebellion days, the holographic head of her spinning around slowly* this was before they realized I was a Jedi survivor... And if that doesn't work suppose I have both my Alliance and New Republic military identifications. *She says taking out the IDs*

Krystal: Nope. Not at all. Figure our Replicators probably have a better selection now, and probably get the flavor right far more often.
Its rare but sometimes when I order a Coke it tastes like Pepsi. *shrug* Soda is soda so it doesn't bother me too much. I have my preference, but at least it didn't come out tasting like coffee.
Janri: I think you smell like her... it lingers more than you think. Though that might not explain the marriage part. *with some difficulty she gets up, focusing on shifting her insides around*
Nexa: In the future don't be afraid to call before a visit! If you got here like an hour ago you might've found us in a compromising position... *she rubs the back of her neck*
Janri: Whats the advice you're looking for? *she gives a softer groan as she recovers*
***
Hanu: They hybridized with the zabrak men for reproductive purposes. While a few could likely have done so with the women I doubt culturally they were interested. *She shakes her head* I was trained by my partners during the Empire's reign and fully embraced the culture and was accepted as one of their own.
I wanted to see them and learn about them. *she says, looking to Jorin* While Mandalorian culture does not truly forbid force sensitives it's rare that they show up, and I've heard many grand tales. What's drunken stories and is fact I'm curious about, and had heard that Clan Krayt was in orbit.
***
Veteran: The identifications are preferable, those are more difficult to fake. *he scans them before nodding* There's been an effort to combine New Republic records with those that have been salvaged from the Jedi Archives. Sura-Je and the small council here are trying to make this a place to rival the Temple on Corusant, or atleast how it used to be.
You're clear, I also have you on record Miss Saltarn. *he says looking to Rin* Just make sure your guests know the rules. As for Miss Fenn, you can transmit your New Republic identification on future visits and they'll let you through. Sorry for the inconvenience but even with the Kron nebula protecting our little slice of home, we have to be careful for Imperial Remnant spies or other forces that would love to take advantage of a fledgling colony.
Rin: That wasn't so bad, was it? *she says with a smile*
Veteran: Oh, and word of warning be careful if you plan on traveling outside the city. We've got some dust storms forming and they get really rough out in the wastes.
Val: like what janri said I just figured with how strong the scent was you’d be married to her.
Lythe: oh I was not aware… I’m sorry.
Val: *looks to lythe* it’s fine. So what do you need?
Lythe: I was wanting to know how to talk to people I need to make nice with those under me.
Val: so it’s a leadership thing, don’t get too attached is my advice.
******
Jorin: mandalorians have not had the best relationship with your order so you’ll have to forgive my skepticism. You truly came here just out of curiosity?
******
Kenzie: are we going outside the city?
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: Don't listen to her. *she says gesturing to Val* we both know how little the imperium values human life. you can value and not act like a commisar to the security team. she needs to learn the same thing.
*********
Freeman: No like... I don't mean keeping zabrak woman for that, I meant You mentioned hybridization, but no night sisters I've seen or heard of come out looking more zabrak than night sister... *he shakes his head* You're not actually dathomirian then if you came into the fold later? as in you are not born of them?
********
Erin: I'll take a plate with all the stuff i mentioned. some General Tso's Shrimp and a shrimp egg roll, a shogun sushi roll... that's basically a deep fried spicy tuna roll with spicy crab meat, avocado and topped with unagi sauce... and to cover the mexican craving, A plate of nachos. lotta cheese. Ground beef, lettuce, tomato, onions, sour cream, you know the whole works.
********
Seku: I'll keep it in mind, can you point us to the closest cantina, bar, lounge, café, restaurant, etc.. so on and so fourth.

Krystal: Dang... save room for dessert. *chuckles as she puts in the order and replicates the food*
Janri: if our advice doesn't work, then maybe a Vulcan might be good to talk to. *she rubs her stomach for a moment before finally feeling mostly fit again* It really depends on your crew. For me, I had to make sure that the people serving under me knew I was smart, brave, and strong and wouldn't tolerate disloyalty. Though keep in mind for mine, they were mostly orions and other more battle minded cultures.
Nexa: *she nods* Most people in the federation however go by Starfleet's discipline, ethics and etc. There's still certainly a lot of different kinds inside it, but a Starfleet crew in most cases is very different than a Klingon crew or Orion crew. From my experience in Starfleet, it's good to talk to those under your command like you're equal to them. Crewmembers very much appreciate when they feel they're valued, and like their commanding officers care about them. I mostly use the same tactics here on the Shade as well.
***
Hanu: Apologies, I thought i made it clear when I mentioned being accepted into their culture. No, I'm not Dathomirian biologically. I'm a native of Iridonia, from a group of the red ethnicity. *upon closer inspection, her Zabrak tattoos are mixed with Dathomirian ones, but specifically Nightsister tattoos. If one has an especially keen eye, and familiarity with Nightsister markings, she actually has two sets of Nightsister tattoos, different types.*
*She looks to Jorin* Yes, with the fall of the Empire I have been rather aimless. I was hoping to learn more of the famed Dragon and their clan as they vanished for a time, or atleast a large part did. Though, I have not heard of any strain between our peoples, aside from the Mandalorian general distaste towards those who wield the force.
***
Rin: No, not unless our search takes us there but the warning is appreciated.
Veteran: The main cantina is around the town square, you can see it by the large statue over that way. *he points in the direction of a statue that can be seen over the walls of the spaceport* Though it's a bit off to the side, you should be able to find it on your own once you get there. There's a couple others around Knossa, but you'll need to ask around for specific directions to each of them. Most businesses are centered around the square, though the square itself is sometimes used for group meditation or lessons from the Jedi to any youngling or trainees. *he taps his chin* if you need any more info, there's a couple of tourist droids in the area. One of them used to belong to Master Sura-Je, heard it was a gift. He's near the square I think if he isn't back at the temple.
Bri: *to val* You still hold onto your mindset, even if its the only thing you know. you've gotta be open to change yourself. My kara values her crew. every last one of them
*********
Freeman: *he leans in to whisper to Jorin* Iridonia zabrak don't come in red, Kobanu taught me that, unless she's adopted, or theres something we're both missing, tread lightly. Not saying to dismiss her, she could be like Rin. Hoping she is.
********
Erin: Oh, what do you have in mind for dessert? *she takes her plate* I'll let you pick. Hope Reina won't get mad about "spoiling our dinner" with a whole meal.
********
Seku: Thanks for the help. we'll be on our way now. *she gives a slight bow and starts to lead the way to the bar*

Krystal: Reina would probably throw a fit that I got buried by paperwork... again. *chuckles*
Nexa: I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Don't be afraid if things start out rough, few commanders were just as inspirational as they are now compared to when they started.
***
Hanu: To an extent. You've got quite the reputation amongst Mandalorians, I wouldn't say you're a galaxy wide celebrity like Skywalker, or Organa, but you're well known to those in some spheres. *At her hip one might notice a lightsaber prominently on display. Its design is very strange however, it doesn't seem to be built like a normal saber, and it doesn't align with force saber designs either. It'd be hard to tell more without a closer examination, but someone with an engineering mind might be able to atleast garner that the reason for its unusual design is because it had an extremely specific purpose in mind, rather than being a very unusual cosmetic choice.*
***
Reashe: Before the Empire, no they weren't. They weren't really meant to be fighting wars, they were primarily a peace keeping organization.
Rin: *she follows alongside Seku* They would be allowed to see their families later in life, but the Jedi Order before the empire wanted to avoid attachments, so not seeing one's family for some time was important to help with that. With the New Jedi Order things are different. Attachments are generally more accepted, though you might find a couple of Jedi who prefer the older way.
Historically though, Jedi have fought many a war, and from what I've been able to glean from the broken records before the Thousand years war, I think they were not as strict as they were in the past, so its good to see the new direction they're taking.
Val: hmm I suppose it’s something to keep in mind.
Lythe: indeed as a member of a dying race I find it is important to keep close those around you. Even tho you were an enemy at the time I sensed a kindred soul. And thru you I’ve found others that I am glad to call friends. *she looks at nexa and janri* I am glad to have met you both and greatly appreciate your advice on this matter.
Val: and you say you’re not good at talking to people.
******
Jorin: *nods to freeman as she discreetly eyes the saber hilt* do you spend a lot of time with mandalorians?
*******
Kenzie: huh small world I dont really remember my parents either.
*the bar looks to be themed after those old clone wars era clone bars complete with the holo image of a cartoonish looking monster of some sort, anyone with old sith bestiary knowledge could hazard a guess that it’s the likeness of a terentatek. The name “rowdy ringos” is projected under the cartoon*

Janri: I'm glad to have met you too. *she gives her a smile*
Nexa: I'm glad we could help. You're doing good so far! If you're staying we could make some food. We were headed to Drozana.
***
Hanu: I know two well enough to consider them a friend though we were loosely friends. Caliban Ordo was a forgemaster, and utilized the force as well though he was distant from his Clan. We knew each other during the Empire, he helped equip a lot of underworld crews.
The other was also of Clan Ordo, a bounty hunter but he never gave his name. He was eager to prove himself, a bit too eager. *While the second one is hard to corroborate, she seems to be truthful. While he wasn't affiliated with the rebellion, Caliban Ordo did make a lot of "mundane" goods for various factions and groups on Coruscant during the early years after Order 66.*
*Clea sways her hips idly musing about something*
***
Rin: Interesting name. I wonder why the terentatek inspiration? *she leads the way inside the bar and takes a look around*
Lythe: *lightly nods* I wouldn’t mind staying. *she looks over at bri* I can send you back if you wish.
*******
Jorin: clan ordo, that is an old one. You already know a force using mandalorian so why me? I’m nothing special. *she looks over at clea* something on your mind?
*******
*the decor is themed the same as it is outside. Old republic and Jedi memorabilia decorate the walls with clone helmets from just about every legion on display. There’s a full set of both phase one and two clone armor in a memorial of sorts along with a heavily damaged set of old Jedi battle armor. The place seems fairly busy with people talking and shuffling about. In the corner of the room something large grunts and shuffles over.*
Kenzie: *looks over at it* Jesus Christ that thing is huge!
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: I mean i can stay for a snack. you've already pulled me out here. just gotta let the captain know so we aren't AWOL. *she starts typing on her PADD*

Freeman: *he also turns his attention to Clea*
********
Erin: Works well, lets eat *she takes her plate and finds somewhere to sit down* you think there's anything I need to know about this universe as well as time besides not being at war with Romulus?
********
Seku: *she follows inside, looking around at the decor* oh yeah just what any survivor of the purge wants to see, Clone gear. *she jokes to herself before sighing, remembering the clones that turned on her. wishing they didn't, they were good friends.* kidding mostly.... I wonder if Klark is still alive. maybe he's the next one we hunt down to reunite with? if hes's kicking... *she looks over when she hears kenzie yell, rushing over* I think we found the inspiration, Rin! *she takes a defensive stance, drawing her saber but not igniting it.
*From over near the bar, someone in a covered booth shouts into the back room/kitchen behind the bar*
???: Ya got customers! Ringo is greetin' 'em, just be sure he isn't eatin' 'em next! think one pulled a saber. probably new!

Janri: I'll get to cooking. *she adjusts her tank top before heading to the kitchen*
Nexa: No mom, don't worry I'll take care of it. *Janri stops herself and takes a seat nodding to Nexa who begins to get stuff out to cook, deciding to focus on appetizers since its not quite lunch yet. She isn't quite sure what to make for everyone but fried pickles and mozzarella sticks are definitely some of them*

Val: *looks over at janri* are you going to be ok?
Lythe: what has you so disheveled looking? *she says to janri*
******
Jorin: I guess there is no point in hiding it. I am Jorin, I’m simply defensive of my identity since everyone that’s had an interest in me meant to kill me….. They’re usually ex imperials, would be bounty hunters, rival clan members, or you could be sith for all I know. *she pulls out her saber pointing the hilt at her* so which one are you?
******
Kenzie: I’ve never seen anything like it…
Jaster: that’s cause he’s a rare one. Not many know what a terentatek is anymore. Names jaster Morhen and this here’s ringo. *he throws a price of meat which ringo catches and eats in one gulp* he’s pretty much harmless unless someone threatens me or annoys him. *he looks between the group spotting seku* waaaait a second seku? How are you doin you old pirate? Lookin to recruit me for a job? An what’s that? You take that off a dead Jedi or something?

Krystal: *looks at her PADD for a moment* We were at war with them until the Undine tried to attack Qo'noS. Captain Shon almost sacrificed himself to destroy a planet killer. After that we had a bit of an Armistice, but with the formation of the Khitomer Alliance, things got a LOT better.
Most of the 24th Century though the Federation and Klingon Empire were the closest of allies. Hell... Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise-D was chosen to be the Arbiter of Succession for the Klingons after Chancellor K'mpek died. Had a brief conflict in the 2370s though but the threat of the Dominion got Chancellor Gowron to resign the Khitomer Accords, reforging the alliance between the Federation and the Empire.
To be perfectly honestly... I wish Martok was still Chancellor. I don't really trust Jm'pok. Something about him puts me on edge. And with him keeping the Empire out of the fight with the Hur'q... the only Klingons we got are volunteers.
I mean I know the Dominion was once our enemy, but the war's long over. And once the Hur'q are done with the Dominion... where do you think they will turn their attention to?

Nexa: In the future don't be afraid to call before a visit! If you got here like an hour ago you might've found us in a compromising position... *she rubs the back of her neck*
Janri: Whats the advice you're looking for? *she gives a softer groan as she recovers*
***
Hanu: They hybridized with the zabrak men for reproductive purposes. While a few could likely have done so with the women I doubt culturally they were interested. *She shakes her head* I was trained by my partners during the Empire's reign and fully embraced the culture and was accepted as one of their own.
I wanted to see them and learn about them. *she says, looking to Jorin* While Mandalorian culture does not truly forbid force sensitives it's rare that they show up, and I've heard many grand tales. What's drunken stories and is fact I'm curious about, and had heard that Clan Krayt was in orbit.
***
Veteran: The identifications are preferable, those are more difficult to fake. *he scans them before nodding* There's been an effort to combine New Republic records with those that have been salvaged from the Jedi Archives. Sura-Je and the small council here are trying to make this a place to rival the Temple on Corusant, or atleast how it used to be.
You're clear, I also have you on record Miss Saltarn. *he says looking to Rin* Just make sure your guests know the rules. As for Miss Fenn, you can transmit your New Republic identification on future visits and they'll let you through. Sorry for the inconvenience but even with the Kron nebula protecting our little slice of home, we have to be careful for Imperial Remnant spies or other forces that would love to take advantage of a fledgling colony.
Rin: That wasn't so bad, was it? *she says with a smile*
Veteran: Oh, and word of warning be careful if you plan on traveling outside the city. We've got some dust storms forming and they get really rough out in the wastes.
Lythe: oh I was not aware… I’m sorry.
Val: *looks to lythe* it’s fine. So what do you need?
Lythe: I was wanting to know how to talk to people I need to make nice with those under me.
Val: so it’s a leadership thing, don’t get too attached is my advice.
******
Jorin: mandalorians have not had the best relationship with your order so you’ll have to forgive my skepticism. You truly came here just out of curiosity?
******
Kenzie: are we going outside the city?
*********
Freeman: No like... I don't mean keeping zabrak woman for that, I meant You mentioned hybridization, but no night sisters I've seen or heard of come out looking more zabrak than night sister... *he shakes his head* You're not actually dathomirian then if you came into the fold later? as in you are not born of them?
********
Erin: I'll take a plate with all the stuff i mentioned. some General Tso's Shrimp and a shrimp egg roll, a shogun sushi roll... that's basically a deep fried spicy tuna roll with spicy crab meat, avocado and topped with unagi sauce... and to cover the mexican craving, A plate of nachos. lotta cheese. Ground beef, lettuce, tomato, onions, sour cream, you know the whole works.
********
Seku: I'll keep it in mind, can you point us to the closest cantina, bar, lounge, café, restaurant, etc.. so on and so fourth.
Nexa: *she nods* Most people in the federation however go by Starfleet's discipline, ethics and etc. There's still certainly a lot of different kinds inside it, but a Starfleet crew in most cases is very different than a Klingon crew or Orion crew. From my experience in Starfleet, it's good to talk to those under your command like you're equal to them. Crewmembers very much appreciate when they feel they're valued, and like their commanding officers care about them. I mostly use the same tactics here on the Shade as well.
***
Hanu: Apologies, I thought i made it clear when I mentioned being accepted into their culture. No, I'm not Dathomirian biologically. I'm a native of Iridonia, from a group of the red ethnicity. *upon closer inspection, her Zabrak tattoos are mixed with Dathomirian ones, but specifically Nightsister tattoos. If one has an especially keen eye, and familiarity with Nightsister markings, she actually has two sets of Nightsister tattoos, different types.*
*She looks to Jorin* Yes, with the fall of the Empire I have been rather aimless. I was hoping to learn more of the famed Dragon and their clan as they vanished for a time, or atleast a large part did. Though, I have not heard of any strain between our peoples, aside from the Mandalorian general distaste towards those who wield the force.
***
Rin: No, not unless our search takes us there but the warning is appreciated.
Veteran: The main cantina is around the town square, you can see it by the large statue over that way. *he points in the direction of a statue that can be seen over the walls of the spaceport* Though it's a bit off to the side, you should be able to find it on your own once you get there. There's a couple others around Knossa, but you'll need to ask around for specific directions to each of them. Most businesses are centered around the square, though the square itself is sometimes used for group meditation or lessons from the Jedi to any youngling or trainees. *he taps his chin* if you need any more info, there's a couple of tourist droids in the area. One of them used to belong to Master Sura-Je, heard it was a gift. He's near the square I think if he isn't back at the temple.
Val: ex-commissar by the way. *she looks at bri*
******
Jorin: yes that was what I meant…. Is the dragon really that well known?
******
Kenzie: so the Jedi also take theirs at a young age… do they atleast get to see their family or are they just turned into machines of war….
*********
Freeman: *he leans in to whisper to Jorin* Iridonia zabrak don't come in red, Kobanu taught me that, unless she's adopted, or theres something we're both missing, tread lightly. Not saying to dismiss her, she could be like Rin. Hoping she is.
********
Erin: Oh, what do you have in mind for dessert? *she takes her plate* I'll let you pick. Hope Reina won't get mad about "spoiling our dinner" with a whole meal.
********
Seku: Thanks for the help. we'll be on our way now. *she gives a slight bow and starts to lead the way to the bar*
***
Hanu: To an extent. You've got quite the reputation amongst Mandalorians, I wouldn't say you're a galaxy wide celebrity like Skywalker, or Organa, but you're well known to those in some spheres. *At her hip one might notice a lightsaber prominently on display. Its design is very strange however, it doesn't seem to be built like a normal saber, and it doesn't align with force saber designs either. It'd be hard to tell more without a closer examination, but someone with an engineering mind might be able to atleast garner that the reason for its unusual design is because it had an extremely specific purpose in mind, rather than being a very unusual cosmetic choice.*
***
Reashe: Before the Empire, no they weren't. They weren't really meant to be fighting wars, they were primarily a peace keeping organization.
Rin: *she follows alongside Seku* They would be allowed to see their families later in life, but the Jedi Order before the empire wanted to avoid attachments, so not seeing one's family for some time was important to help with that. With the New Jedi Order things are different. Attachments are generally more accepted, though you might find a couple of Jedi who prefer the older way.
Historically though, Jedi have fought many a war, and from what I've been able to glean from the broken records before the Thousand years war, I think they were not as strict as they were in the past, so its good to see the new direction they're taking.
Lythe: indeed as a member of a dying race I find it is important to keep close those around you. Even tho you were an enemy at the time I sensed a kindred soul. And thru you I’ve found others that I am glad to call friends. *she looks at nexa and janri* I am glad to have met you both and greatly appreciate your advice on this matter.
Val: and you say you’re not good at talking to people.
******
Jorin: *nods to freeman as she discreetly eyes the saber hilt* do you spend a lot of time with mandalorians?
*******
Kenzie: huh small world I dont really remember my parents either.
*the bar looks to be themed after those old clone wars era clone bars complete with the holo image of a cartoonish looking monster of some sort, anyone with old sith bestiary knowledge could hazard a guess that it’s the likeness of a terentatek. The name “rowdy ringos” is projected under the cartoon*
*********
Freeman: *he remains quiet, crossing his arms*
********
Erin: Then by all means, pick our dessert if you're already in trouble *she says chuckling* gotta stick together, right?
********
Seku: I wasn't exactly taken from my family. I was found on an abandoned spice freighter left there, eventually a jedi discovered i was force sensitive.
Nexa: I'm glad we could help. You're doing good so far! If you're staying we could make some food. We were headed to Drozana.
***
Hanu: I know two well enough to consider them a friend though we were loosely friends. Caliban Ordo was a forgemaster, and utilized the force as well though he was distant from his Clan. We knew each other during the Empire, he helped equip a lot of underworld crews.
The other was also of Clan Ordo, a bounty hunter but he never gave his name. He was eager to prove himself, a bit too eager. *While the second one is hard to corroborate, she seems to be truthful. While he wasn't affiliated with the rebellion, Caliban Ordo did make a lot of "mundane" goods for various factions and groups on Coruscant during the early years after Order 66.*
*Clea sways her hips idly musing about something*
***
Rin: Interesting name. I wonder why the terentatek inspiration? *she leads the way inside the bar and takes a look around*
*******
Jorin: clan ordo, that is an old one. You already know a force using mandalorian so why me? I’m nothing special. *she looks over at clea* something on your mind?
*******
*the decor is themed the same as it is outside. Old republic and Jedi memorabilia decorate the walls with clone helmets from just about every legion on display. There’s a full set of both phase one and two clone armor in a memorial of sorts along with a heavily damaged set of old Jedi battle armor. The place seems fairly busy with people talking and shuffling about. In the corner of the room something large grunts and shuffles over.*
Kenzie: *looks over at it* Jesus Christ that thing is huge!
*********
Freeman: *he also turns his attention to Clea*
********
Erin: Works well, lets eat *she takes her plate and finds somewhere to sit down* you think there's anything I need to know about this universe as well as time besides not being at war with Romulus?
********
Seku: *she follows inside, looking around at the decor* oh yeah just what any survivor of the purge wants to see, Clone gear. *she jokes to herself before sighing, remembering the clones that turned on her. wishing they didn't, they were good friends.* kidding mostly.... I wonder if Klark is still alive. maybe he's the next one we hunt down to reunite with? if hes's kicking... *she looks over when she hears kenzie yell, rushing over* I think we found the inspiration, Rin! *she takes a defensive stance, drawing her saber but not igniting it.
*From over near the bar, someone in a covered booth shouts into the back room/kitchen behind the bar*
???: Ya got customers! Ringo is greetin' 'em, just be sure he isn't eatin' 'em next! think one pulled a saber. probably new!
Nexa: No mom, don't worry I'll take care of it. *Janri stops herself and takes a seat nodding to Nexa who begins to get stuff out to cook, deciding to focus on appetizers since its not quite lunch yet. She isn't quite sure what to make for everyone but fried pickles and mozzarella sticks are definitely some of them*
***
Hanu: Caliban is... not very personable. He doesn't really care much unless I'm a member of his Clan. Wait... what do you mean why you? *She looks confused as she looks at Jorin, starting to put pieces together.*
Clea: Just waiting for you to make a decision. *she says with a mild teasing tone*
***
Rin: *She gets into a battle stance for a moment, but partially relaxes as the realization that a creature like this probably isn't a danger though she's still tense for now.*
Reashe: Is that a... no... it can't be can it? *Her hands hover over her blasters but she doesn't pull them yet as she hears the other voice*
Lythe: what has you so disheveled looking? *she says to janri*
******
Jorin: I guess there is no point in hiding it. I am Jorin, I’m simply defensive of my identity since everyone that’s had an interest in me meant to kill me….. They’re usually ex imperials, would be bounty hunters, rival clan members, or you could be sith for all I know. *she pulls out her saber pointing the hilt at her* so which one are you?
******
Kenzie: I’ve never seen anything like it…
Jaster: that’s cause he’s a rare one. Not many know what a terentatek is anymore. Names jaster Morhen and this here’s ringo. *he throws a price of meat which ringo catches and eats in one gulp* he’s pretty much harmless unless someone threatens me or annoys him. *he looks between the group spotting seku* waaaait a second seku? How are you doin you old pirate? Lookin to recruit me for a job? An what’s that? You take that off a dead Jedi or something?
Ringo: *grunts*
*********
Freeman: *looks to clea* A Decision about what?
********
Erin: How go the klingons here? back home apart from the whole romulan backed civil war they were having, they were staunch allies.... somehow all things considered.
*krystal's PADD dings with the message from Bri above*
********
Seku: Kriff, Jaster?... what are you doing here of all places, aren't you supposed to be some kinda criminal merc?... and The lightsaber is mine?... I'm a jedi. Couldn't exactly go around strutting that as a pirate. I survived the purge... why do you have some giant lizard?
Most of the 24th Century though the Federation and Klingon Empire were the closest of allies. Hell... Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise-D was chosen to be the Arbiter of Succession for the Klingons after Chancellor K'mpek died. Had a brief conflict in the 2370s though but the threat of the Dominion got Chancellor Gowron to resign the Khitomer Accords, reforging the alliance between the Federation and the Empire.
To be perfectly honestly... I wish Martok was still Chancellor. I don't really trust Jm'pok. Something about him puts me on edge. And with him keeping the Empire out of the fight with the Hur'q... the only Klingons we got are volunteers.
I mean I know the Dominion was once our enemy, but the war's long over. And once the Hur'q are done with the Dominion... where do you think they will turn their attention to?
