The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Perhaps he's right, Jasra,* said the Doctor, who had followed them into the cockpit. *Kira, I recommend that you limit the number of people who accompany you to meet with Jasra's employer. To large a group would attract suspicion.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 “Group?” Jasra frowned at the Doctor. “She can’t bring a ‘group’ with her,” she said incredulously. “My employer wants to meet with her alone. Besides,” she eyed Kira over, “I sense she’s capable enough to take care of herself. She and I will be fine on our own.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *What?! She can't go alone!* exclaimed the Doctor. *It's far to dangerous, even for a Jedi. I think that either Atton or Disciple, or possibly even both, should at least escort both of you to wherever it is you'll be meeting your 'employer'.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Or," Kira said, "Perhaps we can each slip in. No one can know they're with me if they don't see them with me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The Doctor had an idea. *Kira, if I gave you a small tracking device. I could lock onto your signal and take the TARDIS to meet you once you arrive. You would simply activate it when you arrive. I can take anyone - the entire crew with me, if needed,* said the Doctor excitedly. *I could even place it somewhere discreet, such as the hilt of your lightsaber, or perhaps-" he looked at her hair. *Your lightsbaer could be removed from you. But oerhaps it coul be placed in your hair band.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "I knew you were here for a reason." Kira joked, a smile lighting her face, "That would be perfect! Though...I don't think a big blue box materializing out of no where would go over too well with anyone trying to enjoy their drinks..." "Better as a failsafe." Disciple said, finishing her thought, "Only activate the signal if you need help." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Yes, an obvious alien artifact fading into existence in the middle of a bar is not something that would go over well on a xenophobic planet. One moment, I'll put together a homing becon,* he said, leaving the cockpit at a run. Nyssa and Tegan stopped in the main room as the Doctor ran towards the, *Nyssa, Tegan, get back to the TARDIS,* he said quickly. He opened the door and walked through the console room to the hallway, where he turned left. He opened another door, leading into his workshop. Tegab and Nyssa stood bhind him, watching curiously. *Coaxial tranceiver...* he muttered to himself. *Trilanium power cell....* he grabbed parts from across the table, assembling them with speed and skill. *Now, something to dampen the signal from their detectors... aha! That will do nicely,* he said, grabbing a small device from across the table. He picked up a piece of semi-spherical metal metal, and secured the tracer to it. It looked like a fairly attractive hairpin. *I should really make a pair of these for you two... it might keep you out of trouble...* he muttered. Standing quickly, he returned to the console room, Nyssa and Tegan following. *Stay here, I'll be right back.* He left the TARDIS, and returned to the cockpit. *If I may see your hairband for a moment, ms. Starr,* he asked polielty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 “All right. I have to admit it’s a good idea to leave someone behind on the ship,” Jasra said, sulkily crossing her arms across her chest. “Someone’s going to have to keep an eye out for scavs trying to dismantle your ship while its docked." She gave Atton a look. "Since ‘fly boy’ seems insistent on landing in the salvager’s quarter.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Hey, its the cheapest place around that isn't infested with gizka or some other rodent, alright?" he said, fairly annoyed, "Besides, anyone even throws a glance at the Hawk, I'll have her tri-barrel class A starcruiser blasters on them in the blink of an eye." "If I may see your hairband for a moment, Ms. Starr." "That was fast." Kira said, turning to the Doctor. She quickly pulled the band from her hair, allowing it to once again fall over her shoulders. Fixing the blonde locks so that they layed normally, she handed the band over to the Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Thank you,* said the Doctor, taking the band from her. He secured the device to the band, and passed it back to her. *You can activate it by twisting the plate to your left - no, sorry, your right,* he corrected himself. *It will also activate if you are exposed to any kind of lethal gas - even a Jedi cannot last forever while breathing hotraletic gas,* he said. *Atton, Disciple, I suggest you wait on the TARDIS with myself, Nyssa, and Tegan. If Kira and Jasra should encounter any danger, we will have to leave right away. I cannot use the time circuit anymore, but the spacial circuit is still operating.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Jasra snorted at Atton's comment. “Just like a man to talk about how big his guns are,” Jasra muttered with disgust under her breath. She smiled sweetly, but not genuinely at Atton. “Whatever you say. You’re the pilot.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Damn it." he muttered. He never knew that a woman could be so damn frustrating! Well...actually...he cast a glance at the Exile over his shoulder as she murmured a 'thank you' to the Doctor and retied her hair. Maybe he did. "And just like a woman to act as if everything she said was right." "Alright," he announced, "Grab a seat everyone. We're entering the atmosphere." As everyone either found a seat or braced themselves against the walls, the ship vibrated and rocked steadily as the freighter pushed through the air and clouds. Within moments, the Hawk had leveled out, the pistons on the landing gear had fired, and the ship lurched to a halt. "Gentle enough landing for you, princess?" he asked Jasra, "Or could you have done better?" Hearing what he had said, Kira rolled her eyes. Men. "Everyone know what they're doing?"

JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Princess? Jasra thought. Did that yelt rat just call me ‘princess?’ Jasra’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, I know what I’m doing.” She rose, and as she passed behind Atton’s chair (being that the Doctor and the Disciple were in the way) she whispered to him, “And you of all people should know that I’m no princess.” She straightened her tunic and checked her blaster. “All right,” she said to Kira. “Let’s go.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "I'm following the two of you," Crystal said quietly from the doorway. "Don't worry. I'll keep to myself. Nobody'll know I'm with you, but somebody needs to be there if you need help sooner than it takes to activate that beacon." She shrugged. "Who better to be there than the one who'll know something's wrong slightly before it actually goes wrong?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 ((You just love that yelt rat thing, don't you Jasra? )) *I will be in the TARDIS, awaiting the signal. If anything goes wrong, K9 and I will be there in a matter of seconds.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Atton burried his face in his hands, rubbing his eyes as if he was tired. "Women." he murmured. In reality, he was hiding the slightly red tinge his skin had taken on. "Well, I guess it would be a smart thing to have another person along." Kira said, nodding to Crystal. "Though you have to be sure to keep as far from us as possible. If you're found out, things could get real sour, real fast." She turned to the Doctor, "Be sure to be ready with the TARDIS. I don't know when or if I need help, but I'd rather the TARDIS be prepped and ready to go ASAP." "I think that's everything, Jasra," Kira said, resecuring her saber to the back of her belt, as to keep it hidden, "Lead on." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "They won't even realize I'm there until you need me," Crystal answered with a smirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Tegan was leainging against the TARDIS console, her hands folded in front of her. "What are you doing, Nyssa?" she asked. Nyssa was sitting on the floor in front of K9, some of the Doctor's tools in front of her. "Jasra is taking Kira to meet with her employer," she stated matter-of-factly. "The Doctor is going to want to be ready with the TARDIS in case she's runs in to trouble. He'll need K9 if he's going to be able to do anything." She put down the tool she was holding, and placed the new face plate over K9's circuits. "K9?" she said quietly. K9's ears began to move, and his tail shifted slightly - then smoke began to escape from his neck joint, and the light that had activated in his eyes went out again.

JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The stench of depravity and decay hit Jasra squarely in the face as she descended down the ramp with Kira and Crystal. At the end of the ramp, she paused, recalling the unpleasant memories of when she herself had first arrived on this deprived planet. She turned and gave Crystal a look. Crystal showed no outward signs of being repulsed or disgusted, but Jasra was still slightly suspicious that she still might be able to read her thoughts, even if no one else could. “I’ll try my best to keep my thoughts to the present,” she said aloud to her. “C’mon,” she said to Kira. “Sig’s Cantina isn’t far, but we’ll have to sneak by Hedra the Hutt’s place to get there. Gamorreans guard the front, Rodians the side route, and the alley around the back….” Jasra sighed. “Last I heard it was mined and was patrolled by an assault droid. Personally, I’d choose the Rodians route, as I’m better with bribes and blasters than mind manipulation and disabling mines takes too long, but I’ll leave it up to you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Urgh," Kira said, "I can't stand the smell of Gammoreans. Or their annoying, oinking language. I vote the Rodian route." she said, "Not to mention, its a lot more fun to play mind games with someone who's at least slightly intelligent." ~*~*~ "Alright, the Hawk's running on her security systems. She'll recognize the homing signal you gave to Kira," Atton said to the Doctor, "But'll turn anyone else into swiss cheese." "Come," Disciple motioned to them, "Kira could need help at any time. I suggest getting the TARDIS ready." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Yes, I agree,* said the Doctor, turning around and leaving the cockpit. He opened the TARDIS door, and saw Nyssa on the floor with a number of his tools out in front of her. *Nyssa, what are you doing?* She jumped, not having heard him enter. "Oh. I was trying to fix K9, but I'm not having much luck..." *Yes, I'm not surprised. He was hit hard by that... whatever it was. He'll most likely need a new neural chip. That's why I had him shut down, to prevent his memory from degrading.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Crystal was far enough back that she hadn't physically heard the discussion, but she understood the question and shrugged. To be less obvious, she would take the other road. She communicated as much to both Kira and Jasra mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Is there anything we can do to help?" the Disciple asked, stepping into the odd box, getting a sense of vertigo at the emmense size of the room inside the small box. Atton stepped in behind him, leaning against one of the walls, hands in his pockets. He looked around anxiously, and didn't try and hide how his fingers were itching to wrap themselves around his blasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Jasra grinned. “Rodians it is then.” She led Kira, with Crystal taking a different route nearby, through the twisted corridors of rubble until the Hedra’s place came into view. A flashing sign above the side door welcomed sentients to… “The Den,” Jasra said. “Disgusting place, even by current Tarisian standards.” There were six Rodians, all armed with blaster pistols, and two with grenades, guarding the side entrance and the alleyway, and hassling any and all who refused to enter or pay a high toll to pass through. Jasra looked pensively at Kira. “I know we sort of got off on the wrong foot,” she started, “but do you think you could teach me a bit more about Force mind manipulation? I've never quite been able to master the technique.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Actually, there is really nothing to be done now but wait,* said the Doctor. *I have set the coordinates for rematerialisation,* He pulled a large red lever on his left, and the door closed with a strange buzzing sound. *And I believe you'll find that your blaster will not work in here, mr. Rand,* he said. *The TARDIS deactivates all weapons inside her. *Now, I suggest you hold on to something. Dematrialisation can be a little bumpy sometimes.* He flicked a set of switches, and the humming in the room stopped with a dull thud. The column began to move up and down, and the engine noise once again filled the air. *I've set the TARDIS to activate the cloister bell when the homing signal is activated,* he said.
