Faction A Bogus Journey (AOC)

[Jai'galaar Gred]

Echilon. It was a strange and dangerous world, but today it was the destination of the AOC corvette Cloud Breaker. The fast corvette had jumped into the system in hunt of a certain kind of fungus that only grew on the dark world. Supposedly this fungus was toxic, and could be pretty useful in the future. Even if it was a myth or something, maybe they could get some new allies. With this in mind, Jai had gotten a few agents together to try and get this stuff, and may have tried to bribe a certain someone with cheese. Right now though, the corvette was as close as it could get. The rest of the journey would be through the turbulent space of Hyfire. Space that he would soon learn was just as dangerous as advertised as droid EW-031 sharply turned the corvette without warning, sending anyone not strapped down flying.

It seemed to her, that her prospects were on the rise. Ever since joining the Agents of Chaos, Scherezade had found a freedom that she'd often felt she'd lacked before. Not putting herself in any position, whether it was low, medium, or high ranked, yet being a Fist at the same time, had given her the option to choose which missions to go on. The trust she had built up since the day they'd all gone into the Unknown Regions had little place left to grow, and she often handled a lot of the Scintilla's intel and security measures, which meant that the lists of all official missions and many of the unofficial, filtered through her.

This one though, wasn't one of those. Instead, she'd been asked directly by a certain young Mandalorian who just very coincidentally happened to have the right sort of paper bag with him, a paper bag that contained the cheese cubes that the Sithling adored so much. So how could she say no? Besides, she could always pretend that she was keeping a close eye on the Mandalorians that were within the Agents of Chaos. I mean, she was, but Jai wasn't one of those that she was holding on a tight leash.

But of course, this trip had taken more than a few minutes, and Scherezade is hardly a Sithling that can sit in place for more than a handful of moments at best. Within a quick skip of time from takeoff to space, she'd begun to bounce all around the ship, though its features eluded her interest. She just wanted to get there and get some of that fungus, and maybe add it to the Garden of Death.

Which was exactly when @EW-301 took that sharp turn, Scherezade was nowhere near being strapped down, and she flew right into the wall across.

"Hey!" she shouted as she regained her balance and stood up, "Do that again!"

Dexter was rather sleepy. Today his head was pounding. Too much booze the night before, even after a bath he still smelt like whiskey and smoke.
Still he chose to join in whatever adventure was going because for some reason when Scherezade asked anything from him he failed to use the word NO. Even when it meant he was likely to be killed or suffer heavy damage from over indulgence.
Still it didn't stop him taking a small cat nap on the deck floor, wrapped up all snug and snoozing lightly.
Till SLAM. His head bashed into a wall after he was sent flying from the sharp turn.
Curses spewed from his lips. Insults. Swears. More Insults. More swears and eventually he would get up.
Hearing Scherezade yell now he smirked and shook his head.
"What kind of death trap are we even on?"

L8R sat solidly on a seat in the cargo area, his bowcaster in pieces across his lap and the cargo containers near him. He had recently been convinced that glitter was very scary and intimidating so he had painted himself black but with quite a shimmer to it. With care and precision, he picked up each piece of the weapon to clean it.

As the ship made such a sharp turn, he only swayed slightly but watched with annoyance as the pieces of his weapon went flying across the bay. With a mechanically produced sigh, he stood, gathered up the pieces of the weapon and holding them under his arm, went out into the more social area of the ship, briefly examining the warm bodies scattered around in various states of annoyance/injury before approaching Jai.

"It seems that your droid pilot is incompetent. Would you like me to rip him apart for you? I'm sure I could fly this ship with more ease."

His left hand clenched to demonstrate his ripping talents as he turned his luminous yellow eyes to examine the ship itself.

Jai, like almost everyone else, had been thrown by the sharp turn. He was slammed into a nearby console, and groaned as he got up. He looked over to Scherezade, who he could tell was ticked by the less then smooth entry into the system. He then heard Dexter, who proceeded to call the Cloud Breaker a death trap. Jai wasn't about to give any weight into calling the corvette a death trap with an answer. He would however yell at EW-031 . The Mando looked to cockpit, yelling out.

"For Kad's sake EW what was that about!?" As if on cue, a cheery, spherical droid floated in, not seeming bother by the yelling. She noticed everyone either on the floor or getting up, but her processors didn't seem to register what happened.

"Oh! Were you playing some sort of game? Anyway, we've arrived at Hyfire, and encountered a stellar storm right after entry. Thankfully we avoided being hit by it, and are on our way to Echilon." Jai huffed, rolling his eyes.

"Great. Just give fair warning next time." The L8R walked in, asking if he should rip poor EW apart. She quickly flew behind the Mandalorian, making him shake his head. "No. No one's ripping anyone apart, L8R. EW had to avoid a stellar storm. Comes with the system honestly." EW then piped in.

"We should be nearing Echilon shortly. Remember no to forget your lights."

"Hey, why aren't you doing it again?" Scherezade asked as she stepped over Dexter Zytros , stuck her tongue out, and walked towards the cockpit, where apparently people were gathering.

It wasn't the smartest thing ever, to crowd over there with none of them being belted to their seats or otherwise physically constrained to a wall or floor. Or ceiling. For one, if the sharp turn were to happen again, they'd all try to move at once, making them all much more likely to hit each other in the process. Some of them had enough knives to cut a sheeba by accident, and that would most definitely be an accident.

So she just made sure that she was standing by the doorway. Improved her chances by 50% unless her math was off. But she could not keep the grin off her face in reaction to L8R . She liked that droid. It was a good droid.

"What lights?" she asked Jai'galaar, "I thought we're coming here to collect fungus and stuff."

 

[Jai'galaar Gred]

EW looked to Scherezade, seeming giddy as ever.

"Sorry Miss deWinter. Have to keep on a set course to be safe." Jai just shook his head and chuckled as the corvette got closer, particularly when deWinter asked about why they would need lights. He chuckled, pulling a hologram of the planet.

"We are, but Echilon is tidally locked. The light side is basically a lava field, so we're going to be in an area where the sun don't shine. Temperate rim. Post Gamma." As he said this, the corvette began to land, finding a large enough pad at the outpost to fit it. The outpost wasn't a city like Alpha, but it was comparable to a small town.

L8R sighed, a bit disappointed that he wouldn't be ripping a droid apart.. But then shrugged and seated himself again, assembling the parts of his bowcaster with ease and then folding it into its staff form so he could sling it across his back.

"I do not require illumination," he said, his tone showing he was still a bit grumpy at the missed opportunity at violence. "I hope there are more opportunities for action once we arrive. I find this quite boring."

He crossed his arms and sat, just waiting for the ship to land so they could get this started.

Scherezade froze for a moment at Jai's answer. The last time she had been to a planet that had part of it only nights and part of it only days, it had been Ryloth. It had been… A long time, and the memories were too far from pleasant. She had loved the nightlands of that planet so much, as well as its little dragons and lush forests. But events had barred her from returning there, long before she left the Southern Systems. There were places where the only way she could go, was with steel and fire.

How dark would it be on the planet once they were there? Scherezade wasn't certain. More traumas in her long existence yet short life had left the Sith in a tight sort where she was sort of afraid of the dark. The Force was good for that, giving her a Witch spell that she had constructed herself some two years prior, but no one could promise her that the planet would offer nothing that could sever her temporarily from the Force. So… Equipment it was.

"They better not offer you any new cheese," she said as she looked at L8R . "I'm not ready to have more competition over you just yet."

Grinning, she was surprised that she could more or less tell by the droid's body language that she was getting bored too.

"Tin girl," she grinned, "wanna jump out of the ship with me? We'll land before the ship."

 

[Jai'galaar Gred]

Jai could notice something was running through Sherezade's head, but he was quite sure what it was. He had already clicked the lights on on his helmet before speaking up, looking at the Sithling. "You ok deWinter?" He looked around, just being sure EW didn't pull any other crazy turns. As they were almost landed though.... Was she crazy! He looked at L8R, wondering if the droid would go along with this.

"Yeah, all good," Scherezade replied and shook her head, tossing the remnants of the earlier thoughts away from herself.

Grinning, she relaxed her stance once the ship was landed.

"So tidal locked and lava," she repeated, and then gave a shrug, "So odds are in our favor, right? I've got a lighter in my pocket just in case. Hate getting stuck in the dark."

As the doors opened, she bounced herself to them, and waited for Jai. After all, this was his mission.
