jaster: you're jedi... huh, well this is my bar. i opened it a few years ago but i still do a bit of merc work on the side. as for ringo... thats a story for another time, its a long one. anyway come on in ill get you some drinks. *he walks behind the bar* i dont get a lot of full fledged jedi here, mostly force sensitives wanting directions or pilgrims and the local colonial labor force.

Krystal: The Undine have their own kind of Planet Killer. Not the big neutronium ice cream cone.
As for Martok... He WAS the Chancellor, before losing a duel and supposedly dying at J'mpok's hands. Turns out Martok only barely survived, and was taken to a planet in the Briar Patch, where the metaphasic radiation actually healed him, but was held as a prisoner by House Torg, with Torg himself having delusions of becoming Chancellor.
As for why J'mpok is being a coward... he's justifying it as "why should we aid the Dominion? They were our enemy! Let them die."
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Bri: if you don't mind requests, some replicated crab rangoons would be nice... As for Psychic powers, a lot of trill have Limited Telepathy, which honestly just acts like a people radar with us. I could feel someone hiding behind me if they were cloaked or anything like that. Hell, I can feel all of you around me even now when I'm looking at ya. Doesn't work on androids or robots though. Well when I say that, I mean fully machine androids. It works on the synthetic kind. The ones that are flesh and blood and grey matter along with everything else they have.
*********
Freeman: Jorin, she doesn't have to learn about you, but it wouldn't hurt if she came with us if she wants to learn about us as a whole. Clea sees something, and knows something she's not telling. If she was a threat, clea would let us know. Couldn't hurt to figure it out. If she takes a spare room, which we have hundreds of mind you, then that's a small cost. I'm genuinely curious at this point.
********
Erin: *she stares at Krystal for a moment with a look of confused disbelief* okay, two things. One, what do their planet killers look like then, and two, How has this Chancellor not been fought or discommended... or assassinated at the very least? It sounds like he had something to do with such a dishonorable fate. He definitely is a coward if that is how he deals with things, I can understand why the Hur'q are such a scary thing if he can't even fight fair. *She takes a bit of her food in the middle of her rant* some people just can't comprehend others being able to do what they can't. So he holds the entire empire back because he can't see any other Klingons actually fighting.
********
The Clone: *He speaks up to introduce himself. He sounds absolutely nothing like your typical clone, more of a deep gruff voice with an American sounding accent* if we're using designators you could call me RC-1709, but Kriff that noise, You will call me Phalanx, of Clan Jade technically.
Seku: Jaster, leave her, she's with me, I know what she is, we're dating and it's complicated so she'll explain in a.... Wait... *she slowly blinks before looking over* Like... A Mandalorian clan?
Phalanx: I'm adopted, clearly. How could you tell?
Seku: *she looks him over* Well the iron heart panted on your armor for one.
Phalanx: Was easier than fully modifying my armor to accommodate one. Got a Beskar weave though, so nobody can say I'm not following the tenets.
Seku: So, clan Jade then? Do the names Brian or Eli mean something to you?
Phalanx: They might, who's asking? Like a full name, heard Jaster call you Seku.
Seku: Seku'Dia Fenn, Jedi Knight.
Phalanx: *he laughs heartily for a moment and picks up a big metal mug to drink out of. The mug is a long way from home. So you're "Miss Seku" the kid likes to talk about then? Small world that Jaster knows you then, but not knowing you're a Jedi? That's kriffing hilarious. Waiting for him to fully connect the dots that this is his master.
Seku: so... You know him then?
Phalanx: I guess technically I'm his brother when I was adopted into the clan. It's not like Clan Skirata adopting every clone they see though, Mandalorians trained Clone Commandos, Their mother and father trained my squad. Took a long time to be reunited though.
Seku: *she whispers to the others* Freeman has never mentioned having an adopted clone brother. *She clears her throat before speaking up* So where is Eli then?
Phalanx: *he looks over to Jaster to see how he's reacting along to see what he's gonna say, in the meanwhile just stating* Well he ain't here.
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not.

Krystal: Undine Planet Killers look like giant Meatballs hoenstly. Not much else to describe them as. As for J'mpok and Martok, No one knew Martok was still alive until General Kurn found him in the Briar Patch and planned a jailbreak.
And as to why J'mpok wasn't taken out... Martok expressed no interest in reclaiming the Chancellorship. So for the time being the issue of who is the rightful leader of the High Council is settled. His behavior in the wake of the Hur'q attacks though... I can't help but wonder if he's HOPING the Dominion collapses. Doesn't matter if they're facing the Empire's greatest enemy, as long as the Dominion falls J'mpok seems content to just sit back and let them be destroyed. Any Klingons who are fighting the Hur'q are doing so by choice. Its going to take something significant to get the Empire as a whole to budge though. Something like the Sword of Kahless and lighting the Beacon of Kahless.
*thinks*
Hm...

Nexa: I wonder if my abilities might be sort of psychic... *she looks thoughtful, getting the Rangoon and then serving them with the other snacks*
Janri: You're starting off fairly small so I'm sure you'll do great.
***
Hanuh: I'm fine with whatever your decision may be, though of course I would still like to join you. I apologize if my interest offended you in some way.
Clea: *she taps her chin musing* I believe Rin also mentioned wishing to meet someone fitting Hanuh's description.
***
Rin: What gave it away, the Sith Battle Armor? *she shakes her head* I have explicit permission to be here in the name of archeological exploits. You got a problem with it, take it up with Sura-Je and Skywalker.
I think Skirata's adoptions started very early on but I'm not sure, I was still pretty young during the Clone Wars.
Lythe: as an eldar I’m capable of reading minds actively or passively as well as having a “people radar” tho eldar methods of leading are highly strict and may be seen and cruel to those of this universe.
Val: you might want to tone that down a bit.
******
Jorin: *takes a deep breath* alright but this isn’t a charity ship so make yourself useful…. And if you really want to know more about me I suppose I could set aside some time.
******
Jaster: you know skywalker? Huh alright then, I just like to make sure no one’s causing trouble around here. You’re fine in my book then. *he says to rin then looks over to seku.* so you’re his master? Can’t say I expected that… Ran security for the kid a few times with phalanx but it’s been awhile since I saw him last, he’s been out for a few months. And as for the bar I won it in a sabocc match. Phalanx and I happen to know a bit about brewing so it just felt right settling down here.
Kenzie: *looks at phalanx* so you’re a clone?
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: *she snacks on crab rangoons* yeah, we got rules about this kinda stuff. A betazoid would be the best to explain this kinda thing.
*********
Freeman: welcome aboard. *He chuckles and starts to walk into the shuttle*
********
Erin: that still doesn't change the fact that this chancellor sounds dishonorable and would likely be taken out if this was any other time in history... Wait what are you doing? You mention the sword and beacon and now you're writing something up?
********
Seku: I mean I'm not his only master. He was sorta a... Collaborative reaching. Rin is also one of his masters technically speaking. Nothing nefarious, seeing as you seen him and know what he's like.
Phalanx: I know the brewing, he's a people person. I make whatever and he sells it. Works out well enough. Better to finally have a place to settle my strange brews rather than only selling them where we travel. Should go out on another trip to find more stuff though. *He looks to Kenzie* Yeah, Republic Commando, Clone Commando, Call me what you will. Me and my squad were specially trained as a High Orbit Precision Entry Squad.

Krystal: Giving a couple people a nudge on an idea that might bring the Klingons into the fight.
NO ONE in the Empire will ignore the Beacon, especially if it is lit by one who wields the Sword of Kahless. Even J'mpok will have to accept that call to arms, even if he doesn't want to.

Nexa: Its okay to be a little strict, but try to balance it out. Too strict can make it hard for others. *She pauses* Could also ask a Vulcan. I don't have too many ex starfleet members on my ship though, when I left most of my old crew remained.
***
Hanuh: I thank you. *She gives a nod and starts following alongside the others, Clea being beside her and looking at her frequently*
***
Rin: Yeah, It was kinda three of us, and Sawbones too.
Reashe: Yeah, the Clones came from a while back when the Republic needed an Army to fight the Separatist droids. Pretty interesting stuff.
Lythe: there are laws against telepaths? That is problematic….
******
Jorin: just try not to get in anyone’s way alright. *she gets into the shuttle pilot seat and starts it up, motioning for clea to take the co pilot.*
******
Jaster: he’s a good kid, taught him a few things myself mostly computer slicing and the like.
Kenzie: huh so kinda like ODST I guess. *she looks at raeshe* so there was a clone and robot war?… huh.
Jaster: yeah it was pretty big in our history. Fought in it myself before the purge. Anyway down to business, you just here for info or can I interest you in some drinks or food? I make a mean fried nuna sandwich. *he grins at seku*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: *she keeps snacking on the crab rangoons* I didn't say there were laws against telepaths, I said there are rules. Like in court you can't convict someone solely on telepathic evidence. you need more evidence too, so as a security officer its good for you to know. There are also things about privacy and etiquette but there's nothing that says your existence or using your powers is inherently illegal.
*********
Freeman: *already sitting in the co-pilot's seat, he shrugs and gets up and heads to the back of the shuttle*
********
Erin: I'm totally gonna be waiting for "I wanted to come to the battle but my ship as in the shop" or "I locked my keys inside" *she says chuckling*
********
Phalanx: I taught him to shoot better with that pistol of his, and taught him the basics of brewing, taught him survival skills, or more of all that. his parents taught him well enough, just helped him build on that, I don't really have anything exciting like jaster with slicing, except... Guess I did teach him how to drive a tank. Wish we kept that thing.
Seku: Didn't teach him any force stuff? a shame but I guess between the 3 to 4 of us he already learned a lot before he got to you. Probably found teachers in-between too knowing him *she says finding a place to sit* I'll take the sandwich.... and something non-alcoholic... I uhh... gotta stay sharp. *she says glancing at Rin*

Phalanx: I guess technically I'm his brother when I was adopted into the clan. It's not like Clan Skirata adopting every clone they see though, Mandalorians trained Clone Commandos, Their mother and father trained my squad. Took a long time to be reunited though.
Seku: *she whispers to the others* Freeman has never mentioned having an adopted clone brother. *She clears her throat before speaking up* So where is Eli then?
Phalanx: *he looks over to Jaster to see how he's reacting along to see what he's gonna say, in the meanwhile just stating* Well he ain't here.
And as to why J'mpok wasn't taken out... Martok expressed no interest in reclaiming the Chancellorship. So for the time being the issue of who is the rightful leader of the High Council is settled. His behavior in the wake of the Hur'q attacks though... I can't help but wonder if he's HOPING the Dominion collapses. Doesn't matter if they're facing the Empire's greatest enemy, as long as the Dominion falls J'mpok seems content to just sit back and let them be destroyed. Any Klingons who are fighting the Hur'q are doing so by choice. Its going to take something significant to get the Empire as a whole to budge though. Something like the Sword of Kahless and lighting the Beacon of Kahless.
*thinks*
Hm...
*sets her food down and starts typing out a message*

Janri: You're starting off fairly small so I'm sure you'll do great.
***
Hanuh: I'm fine with whatever your decision may be, though of course I would still like to join you. I apologize if my interest offended you in some way.
Clea: *she taps her chin musing* I believe Rin also mentioned wishing to meet someone fitting Hanuh's description.
***
Rin: What gave it away, the Sith Battle Armor? *she shakes her head* I have explicit permission to be here in the name of archeological exploits. You got a problem with it, take it up with Sura-Je and Skywalker.
I think Skirata's adoptions started very early on but I'm not sure, I was still pretty young during the Clone Wars.
Reashe: So, why are you two running a bar?
Val: you might want to tone that down a bit.
******
Jorin: *takes a deep breath* alright but this isn’t a charity ship so make yourself useful…. And if you really want to know more about me I suppose I could set aside some time.
******
Jaster: you know skywalker? Huh alright then, I just like to make sure no one’s causing trouble around here. You’re fine in my book then. *he says to rin then looks over to seku.* so you’re his master? Can’t say I expected that… Ran security for the kid a few times with phalanx but it’s been awhile since I saw him last, he’s been out for a few months. And as for the bar I won it in a sabocc match. Phalanx and I happen to know a bit about brewing so it just felt right settling down here.
Kenzie: *looks at phalanx* so you’re a clone?
*********
Freeman: welcome aboard. *He chuckles and starts to walk into the shuttle*
********
Erin: that still doesn't change the fact that this chancellor sounds dishonorable and would likely be taken out if this was any other time in history... Wait what are you doing? You mention the sword and beacon and now you're writing something up?
********
Seku: I mean I'm not his only master. He was sorta a... Collaborative reaching. Rin is also one of his masters technically speaking. Nothing nefarious, seeing as you seen him and know what he's like.
Phalanx: I know the brewing, he's a people person. I make whatever and he sells it. Works out well enough. Better to finally have a place to settle my strange brews rather than only selling them where we travel. Should go out on another trip to find more stuff though. *He looks to Kenzie* Yeah, Republic Commando, Clone Commando, Call me what you will. Me and my squad were specially trained as a High Orbit Precision Entry Squad.
NO ONE in the Empire will ignore the Beacon, especially if it is lit by one who wields the Sword of Kahless. Even J'mpok will have to accept that call to arms, even if he doesn't want to.

Hanuh: I thank you. *She gives a nod and starts following alongside the others, Clea being beside her and looking at her frequently*
***
Rin: Yeah, It was kinda three of us, and Sawbones too.
Reashe: Yeah, the Clones came from a while back when the Republic needed an Army to fight the Separatist droids. Pretty interesting stuff.
******
Jorin: just try not to get in anyone’s way alright. *she gets into the shuttle pilot seat and starts it up, motioning for clea to take the co pilot.*
******
Jaster: he’s a good kid, taught him a few things myself mostly computer slicing and the like.
Kenzie: huh so kinda like ODST I guess. *she looks at raeshe* so there was a clone and robot war?… huh.
Jaster: yeah it was pretty big in our history. Fought in it myself before the purge. Anyway down to business, you just here for info or can I interest you in some drinks or food? I make a mean fried nuna sandwich. *he grins at seku*
*********
Freeman: *already sitting in the co-pilot's seat, he shrugs and gets up and heads to the back of the shuttle*
********
Erin: I'm totally gonna be waiting for "I wanted to come to the battle but my ship as in the shop" or "I locked my keys inside" *she says chuckling*
********
Phalanx: I taught him to shoot better with that pistol of his, and taught him the basics of brewing, taught him survival skills, or more of all that. his parents taught him well enough, just helped him build on that, I don't really have anything exciting like jaster with slicing, except... Guess I did teach him how to drive a tank. Wish we kept that thing.
Seku: Didn't teach him any force stuff? a shame but I guess between the 3 to 4 of us he already learned a lot before he got to you. Probably found teachers in-between too knowing him *she says finding a place to sit* I'll take the sandwich.... and something non-alcoholic... I uhh... gotta stay sharp. *she says glancing at Rin*

Clea: *she takes the seat and gets ready*
Hanuh: I won't. *she takes a seat elsewhere inside and sits, adjusting the robe parts of her armor*
***
Rin: I'll take a nerf burger. *she gives Seku a knowing look* And some soft drink.
Val: maybe I could try that with your ship, *she looks at nexa* the security officer thing.
******
Jorin: sorry freeman I just want to talk with clea. Normally when I’m flying the co pilot seat is yours tho. *she looks back over at clea speaking in a lower tone* what was that back there?
*******
Kenzie: uuh I heard sushi is good and some hard cider.
Jaster: *types away on his terminal as he walk off to get the drinks* alright I’ll be right back.
Kenzie: *looks over at seku and rin then at raeshe with a curious expression* do you want kids someday?….. *she says shyly*
*********
Freeman: *he takes a seat and puts his feet up*
********
Erin: trying to think of stuff to bring up..... so who else is out of time around here? or out of an alternate time or reality? I can tell Captain Mizuno is. do we got a list?
********
Seku: *she hears Kenzie and facepalms. is she that unsubtle that even Kenzie can pick up on it*
Phalanx: *he fills his metal mug with more alcohol and finds somewhere to sit. the mug screams of not of this galaxy.*
*Janri seems a little confused by what Bri is asking*
***
Clea: *She whispers* You'll have to be more specific Auntie.
Hanuh: *She looks to Freeman* What about you, you've got any interesting stories?
***
Reashe: *She gives a little elbow to Kenzie, but not actually hard enough to do more than give a slight nudge*
Rin: It would be nice. Why, frankly I'm surprised we don't have any already. *She takes a dry playful tone, subtly referencing her and Seku's busyness lately, while also teasing Seku*
