Search options (Page 39 of 57)

Sometimes reloading can work wonders, but I would imagine in this particular instance that it would just put you straight back on the stage.

If you've got the console enabled there might be a port command that would work where the HUD one doesn't.

Or as Taustin said, restart/reload an earlier save. It's a ballache, but it will definitely fix it.

Xam quickly considered her options, leaving had not been her intention, but realises that if these guys aren't willing to help her, she stands a better chance hiring a pilot who can if she isn't hampered by the lock down.

So she takes the offered pathway, bracing herself as she allows the force to control her until she arrives on the other side. The scene she finds it not what she was expecting, four people surrounding the young girl who was unconscious.

Xam: Perhaps I should have explained more about the job I was hoping you'd have time for before I took your lift...

Shab retrieves a datapad and quickly syncs it into her visor, replaying the footage for Jester, starting at their encounter with Tamos & Darcott.

Shab: I wish I knew myself. We encountered these two after they tried to rip up the docks. *hands datapad over so Jester can watch the full encounter*

Xam's partway back to the cantina when her comm-link goes, and she raises a hand to click it back on, only to be greeted by the Hutt that oversees the district.

Comm-link: Why has a Sith locked down the dock?

Xam comes to a full stop as she processes that information.

Xam: Good question.

Comm: Get it undone. There are shipments due! I will not have profits compromised because you can't handle security arrangements.

Xam quickly arranges the techies to work on the lock-down. Until she knows what they're facing she'd rather avoid force, hoping that Shab might be able to shed some light on the matter soon, if her contact plays out. Meanwhile she has bigger concerns, not having a Hutt whip her hide for losing profits, which means a ship and pilot who can operate outside a locked dock.

Once back at the cantina she quickly settles at her console, accessing the dock security footage and opens a new link, seeing if the two kids she sent are still in once piece. If that ship is still in once piece it both might be able to get past the lock-down, and she potentially had communication with it.

Nei: So am I allowed to wake the girl before we arrive to at least tell-

She stops abruptly as they all hear a beep emanate from Sara Jane, all turning to it. Nei reaches, but pauses to allow Venrii to grant her permission to search, and gently locates a small communication device, holding it out to Kraven and Venrii.

Shab approaches Jester after he finishes shouting.

Shab: And I thought you'd be difficult to find. *pauses* Do you know someone called Penalla?

==========

Nei: Trust is earnt. And the choice should be hers, not inflicted upon her. *sighs* But we have little choice but to follow his lead for now. Wasting energy on constant, unnecessary fighting is counter productive

Xam: *waits till they're out of sight* I better confirm they have actually left.

Shab: Actually, I think I might have a hunch who they're trying to avoid. *pauses as she thinks* Reckon you can tag them in some way?

Xam: I know a few maintenance men who can try and slip something, but I can't guarantee that they won't find it, you might get a couple of parsecs before they ditch it.

Shab: Then I better be quick so I can catch up within that time.

Nei: *quietly* Honestly, I don't know. You're being taken to people who shouldn't want to harm her, but what precise plans they have I wouldn't like to guess. She's powerfully strong in the Force, and whilst the Jedi are usually good people, as an organisation they employ an amount of subterfuge they would never admit to. *sighs* However, whilst difficult, it is possible to run away if it progresses beyond what she is comfortable doing. Depending on how much security they place around her. *pauses* We've got until we dock to try and find out more about their intentions, whether they'll divulge anything...

Xam: I suppose there's no alternative to going round in circles, us there?

Shab clears her mind, stealing herself mentally as she stands up, drawing both blasters.

Shab: Try that again and I will fire, but I'd rather this didn't have to end in death.

Nei signs a couple of rude names at Nitsua before flouncing off to where Venrii and Sara are still slumbering. She flops down next to them, her back to the wall, using all her senses to tell when Kraven and Nitsua are out of range. She lays a calming hand on Venrii's head, and carefully uses the force to wake him without startling him.

Nei: Stay calm & keep quiet. I don't wish to hurt you, but your best option right now is to let them think you're still asleep.

Xam: Now, now, boys, all this for information we might not have? And on two women who your mind tricks will have very little effect? Very well, shall we see what Falleen discipline has to say about your force powers?

Shab: They don't learn very fast, do they? Seeing as we seem to be where we were only five minutes ago.

Both women draw on their inner strength and break free of the hold again.

==========

Nei rushes forwards and stands in front of the two men, blocking the way to the cockpit.

Nei: What right do you have to knock her unconscious and take her somewhere you haven't even asked if she wants to go? Are you so self-righteous that you believe you can do no wrong and that she has no say in her own future?
