Mercenary Crew: Age of the Rebellion

[Master_Archon]

Otak listened to Raze and Zam's conversation with interest. But when Kashyyk passed from Zam's mouth he let out a quiet moan. He wasn't too loved on Kashyyk either, it's where he got his wookie skulls, enough said.

 

"Please, just don't let us land near the equatorial region," he mumbled to himself. "Erm, yes, yes I have," he answered Raze.

[JasraLantill]

Raze cocked an eyebrow. "You're wanted on Kashyyyk, too?" she asked intuitively. Then she nodded. "Ok...well, lest we attract any more attention..." She looked at Zam. "No equatorial landing port."

[starmark2k]

"K, I think Balbacca lives in the Northern hemmisphere,so chances are that's where we will land." Zam said as he looked around at Otakay. "Anyway you're not registered passenger of this vessel so know one knows you're on board."

[steven]

"Surpose that would be a better idea," Said John walking up to them "If it's a bomb the last thing we'll want to do is set it off right in the middle of a wookiee settlement."

[ForceFightWMe12]

Travis was not happy as he came charging into the cockpit, completely oblivious to the bleeding cut he had on his forehead. He was practically growling.

 

"What the hell did you do to get those Imps on us??" he barked at Zam, "They don't follow you into a fracking nebula for nothing!! You're so damn lucky you got us out of there in one piece --"

[steven]

"Shut up!" Snapped John, "It's not his fault. He didn't ask them to attack us you twit." John sighed "We need to find a certain poof and kill him when we're out of this mess."

[JasraLantill]

"Knock it off!" Raze shouted above both of them. "Both of you! No one is going to be killing anyone! Yet," she added with a glare.

 

She heaved out a sigh. "Travis, go and find a pry bar. John, go and drag that box out into the middle of the bay. We're opening it as soon as we land." She looked at Zam. "Which will be soon, right?"

[ForceFightWMe12]

Travis didn't answer. He spun on his heel, moving back to his room to grab a pry bar. A thunk echoed down the hall, followed shortly after by the sound of shattering glass.

[Master_Archon]

Otak chuckled at the furious Travis, finally, someone who got on his nerves. He got up after the initial confrontation, and chuckled a little more, he looked at Zam. He could tell he was going to like the pilot.

 

At the sound of shattering glass Otak decided to help John move the crate, it was heavy, even for himself, as he well knew. He did this more for his own curiosity and want to open the crate, than anything else.

[starmark2k]

"Well we aree going to drop nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." Zam Said as he pressed a button on the nav console and the ship gently dropped out of hyperspace. "...wwww. You better call Balbacca, i'll try an avoid the slavers sensor array."

[Rexraptor2000]

"...wwww. You better call Balbacca, i'll try an avoid the slavers sensor array." Ulim heard as he stayed in the hallway, since it was getting a bit crowded in the cockpit. He fuse skyrocketed, but he calmed himself down before he tried to take on all the slavers himself. He did feel guilt about the Wookies, since they were facing the same problem as his race. But then again, their entire race was still centered on their homeworld. His world was nothing but a globe of fire and ashes now. Also, the fact that he was fighting here during the Clone Wars end might have had something to do with it. He was curious about the Wookie reaction to seeing a Sangheili, who were apart of the CIS who tried to conquer the system.

[JasraLantill]

Raze nodded to Zam. "I'll do that from my quarters," she said, unbuckling herself from the seat's harness. She gave a look at Ulim. "Suppose you'll keep an eye on him as always, right?" said as she patted him on the shoulder as she passed.

 

She hurried to her quarters, and once there, she scanned through her personal logs and found a specific com frequency channel. The Wookies had been repressed for years now, and only trusted traders and friends had access to certain com channels. And even then, a code word was usually required to gain full access. In a few moments though, she co-ordinates to land near Balbacca's village.

 

Returning to the bridge, she input the co-ordinates into the nav computer. "There you go," she said to Zam. "Though be careful when we open the hatch. Those co-ordinates are in the Shadowlands." She turned and grinned at Zam. "But, on the bright side, there won't be any Imps down there."

[starmark2k]

"Yay a nice dark place where everything wants to eat us." Zam said with a deadpan tone.

 

The Eclipse flew towards the planet and into its atmosphere, it cruised over the large indigeous trees until it came to a small clearing. The ship stoped directly above the clearing and began to lower strait down.

 

As it came towards the ground a small settlement could be seen made from wood and what appeared to be scrap metal from various sources. The Gears lowered from the ship and hit the mesh of differant metals that servered as a landing pad.

[Grace]

"It's either plants that want to eat us or Imps that want us for hells only know," Rita said, coming up behind Zam. "And if we get eaten by plants, we can rest easy, knowing that the Imps won't come after us anymore and some poor, hungry giant of a plant is well fed!"

[steven]

As soon as the ship landed safety, John opened the Eclispe's drawbridge(or w/e it's called) and spoke to Otak as he went to assit him with the moving of the create."Okay buddy, let's get this thing moving. We should pop it outside just incase it is a bomb and all we have to do is simply lift off and we should be fine."

[JasraLantill]

"Let's find out what all the fuss is about, shall we?" Raze said to Zam. While Zam finished what he had to do with securing the ship, she left the bridge and headed for the cargo bay. The ramp was down and John and Otaktay were already moving the crate. "Careful with it," she said. "I don't want it damaged no matter what's inside it."

 

As the two began to move the heavy crate outside, Raze hit the ship-wide com button. "Flick? Rita? Ulim? Grab yourselves some blasters and stand guard outside. I don't want any 'interference' from any curious wildlife out there that might view any one of us as a quick snack. Travis? We need your lockpicking skills. Bring Bif if you think he can help."

 

She went over to the tool cupboard and removed a pry bar. If Travis or Bif couldn't open the mysterious container in a delicate fashion, they'd just have to pry the lid off it. Either way, they were going to find out what was inside.

 

"Just leave it there, boys," Raze said to John and Otak as the crate was off-loaded. "Give Travis a chance to see if he can open it up without looking like it's been opened it up."

[ForceFightWMe12]

"Move." Travis ordered as he came by. He still wasn't in the cheeriest of moods.

 

As the others stepped aside, he knelt in front of the strange container and pulled a pick from his pocket, hooking up to the hardframe of the electronic lock. Numbers began to scroll across the device in his hands.

 

In moments, he had most of the code undone, before becoming frustrated with the last two digits. "Can I kick this thing?" he asked Raze, "Please?"

 

The question turned out to be rather rhetorical. The last two digits slid into place, and the lock clicked open.

[starmark2k]

“Typical the Neanderthal wants to kick the Object that could quite possibly be a bomb.” Zam said as he walked out of the ship. “Tell we Travis When they were handing out brains, What exactly were you doing?”

[Grace]

"Zam, considering the fact the lock on the mystery item just unlocked, don't you think your petty Ace hatred can wait," Rita demanded impatiently, coming out of the ship behind him. "Besides, I bet it's not a bomb. I'll bet... 50 credits it's not a bomb!"

[starmark2k]

"We already have... remember when we brought it on board." Zam turned his head towards Raze. "So are you going to open it now or can we just leave it here and fly as fast as our engines wil push us?"

[JasraLantill]

Raze stared at Zam deadpan. "No, I thought it might be nice to just sit here in the jungle, maybe have a picnic, a few drinks, relax a bit... and then open it." She rolled her eyes and stepped forward, gently moving Travis out of the way with an outstretched arm.

 

She put her hand on the crate, hesitated for a moment, then raised the lid. Her eyes widened at what she saw, and for a moment she was silent.

 

"Oh, by the black, pitiless stars..." she said slowly, as she knelt down beside the open crate. "I don't kriffin' believe it...."

[starmark2k]

Zam Stepped forward and looked down."Huh, I owe Rita 50 creds." He said fairly calmly also i'm quite shocked at the carboite incased women who appears to be holding a lightsabre in her Left hand."

[Grace]

Rita stared, open mouthed at the Jedi in carbonite. When she managed to speak, she hissed, "What the droyk is a Jedi doing in carbonite?"

[JasraLantill]

"Yeah, I'm kind of floored about that too..." Raze said absently, staring at what appeared to be a lightsaber in the hand of the carbonite relief of a woman. Raze bent down lower to view the tiny flashing control panel on the side of the carbonite block. Then she called out over her shoulder, "BIF! I need you out here!"

 

She rose and put a thoughtful finger to her lips. The woman looked vaguely familiar, and that in itself was a disturbing thought. And a lightsaber didn't necessarily mean Jedi, although given the sudden Imperial interest, it made sense if their cargo was a Jedi.

 

"I think she's still alive, Zam."

[ForceFightWMe12]

Travis gave a short whistle, his bad mood temporarily forgotten. "By the Force..." he murmured, his eyes appreciativly looking over the carbonite-encased woman, his eyes falling on the lightsaber in her hand. "A Jedi. I wonder if..."
