Mercenary Crew: Age of the Rebellion

[Grace]

((Rexraptor, you used 'A' and 'C' for all options... 'D' would work "in an uncharted or worthless system", and 'B' would have your "full vote". ))

 

"Don't look at me, I'm just the escape planner and gunner," Rita muttered. But she knew Raze would want her opinion. Sighing, she shook her head. "Giving up's not an option. Killing the Jedi-thing is not honorable. Hiding's for wimps. Never thought I'd say this, but the Rebellion's our best shot... and the most interesting option."

 

She leaned back in her chair. "But whatever we decide, I want a few minutes alone with the Jedi-thing. I have my reasons." She glared darkly at each and every one of them, as if to discourage them from asking what her reasons might be.

"I vote that we space her." Travis said nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet up on the table. When he was answered with nothing but silence, he opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow at them all.

 

"I was kidding." he said, "Jeeze, tough crowd. The one time I am lying, no one picks up on it.

 

"Anyway, killing the chick-popsicle wouldn't be a good idea. From what I hear, Jedi are practically immortal to normal little people like us - especially if they have their light-sword-thingie. Even without it, she could probably kill us all before we had the chance to get a shot off.

 

"I'm not too sure about the Rebellion. I know that they take in all manner of rogues and rebels and stuff, but I've heard some things about them that I don't particularly like. Not to mention, they haven't exactly been successful in avoiding and/or defeating the Empire. I don't think it'd be exactly safe to try and join their ranks.

 

"As for hiding...well, where could we hide? The only place safe from the Empire is the Unknown Regions, and there's no way in hell you're dragging me there. If you all want to go hide there and get killed by some weird space pilots or get lost in the void forever, then be my guest. Count me out."

 

He sighed. "What I guess I'm trying to say is...I don't like any of those ideas. Of course, I don't have any of my own, but....yeah."

"You know Travis, I sometimes which we could space you but you'd do something to that airlock and trying to fix it is murder, and old Biffy wouldn't work unless you're still alive " John muttered to himself. "My vote goes to rebellion."

"We Can't go alliance they've gone underground, and even if we know where they are we still don't know the Jedi's loyalties. We could be taking an Imp right to them!" Zam disagreed with his friend." "I mean allthese option are mute points until we know who the hell theis women actually is and i don't want to kill an innocent jedi or get stuck in the iddle of nowhere with a dark one."

Raze leaned back in her chair. "Ok... so far we have three votes for taking her to the Rebellion, that is, if we can find them," she added cynically. "And one 'non-vote'..." She looked at Travis, and then at Zam. "...and one abstaining until we get more information about our questionable passenger slash cargo."

 

She let out a deep breath. "I agree with Zam that it would be best to get more information about our undesireable passenger, but exactly how are we going to do that? If we ask her if she's a Sith, and she is just a 'normal' Jedi, she will answer 'no'. And if she is a Sith, I can't believe she would be stupid enough to openly admit to it, so her answer would still be 'no.' We'd need time to interview and observe her and that's something we don't have.

 

"If the Imps want her, and they know we have her, it won't take them long to plot our last trajectory and come looking for us again. They'll be scouring all known hyperspace routes and possible ports in this area, probably put a bounty out on us, too, and it wouldn't take long for word to get back to Barrus Phee that we weren't going to be delivering our..." She frowned slightly. "...cargo."

 

Raze lifted a single eyebrow, as if she had just had an idea. "Unless... we go ahead and deliver the cargo anyway. The Imps certainly wouldn't be expecting us to make a beeline for Coruscant, not when they know that we know they're looking for us." She looked at Travis then. "Ace... how hard would it be to make something that 'looked' like a Jedi frozen in carbonite? You know, something that we could put back inside the crate to make it appear as if we never opened it?"

[ForceFightWMe12]

Travis blinked for a moment, caught off guard. "A Jedicicle replica? Er...Well, the easiest way would be to go to some back-alley metal worker with a pixle scan of what the Jedi looked like when she was frozen. It would cost a pretty penny, but they should be able to make a passable replica. Although, something tells me that we don't have the sparable funds or a the day's worth of time that it would take to make the thing. So that's out of the question.

 

"Now...if I could recreate it..." he sat and thought for a moment. "We could probably get an image of what she looked like off the cam feeds from the cargo hold and medical ward."

 

He rubbed his temple with a knuckle. "It's going to be making it that'll be the hardest. If we could find some spare metal or something similar to it and melt it down, there's a chance that it could be shaped to look like the frozen Jedi. But...unless we find that much metal and can shove it in the ship's engine, I don't know how possible that could be."

[JasraLantill]

"Can you use whatever carbonite was left over from her 'case'?" Raze asked Ace. "Maybe you can just... carbon plate something, instead of having it be solid metal. Besides, if it were solid metal, the weight would be off. Maybe...." She paused for a moment as she thought. "Maybe we could use food board or something in the middle of it? You know, something solid, something organic, but not as heavy as metal? Just enough to fool whoever it is we're delivering this cargo to. What do you think, Ace? Can you do that?"

[ForceFightWMe12]

He scratched the back of his head, thinking for a moment. "That might be possible. I didn't really look - I don't know how much is left. But, if there is enough to put together and shape into the form of the Jedi...then I see no problem with using it.

 

"The food board could be useful also - though we might need to simulate a heart beat or a heat signature from inside the carbonite as well. Er...someone frozen in carbonite does have a heart beat and a heat signature, don't they?"
