Customs at Speeds unseen.

[Jen]

"The Mechanical Maiden: Fixing your Speed needs since... Nah.. Doesn't work Cindo." Jennifer, the mechanic of the mechanical maiden had said with a chuckle and melodious accent heard from in her voice. She took a sip from her mug which was filled with some brown-ish liquid, coffee or hot chocolate, perhaps both. Cindo agreed, they would need something else, more, natural and light hearted.​

​

---------------------------------------------------------------------​

​

It was early morning, a shiny and sunny one at that and the two girls, Cindo, the pink haired Rodian, and Jennifer had just opened up. Currently they were discussing the possibility of a slogan of sorts for the shop. Would be good to have such a thing if they ever wanted to advertise, it probably wasn't time for such yet though. They had just enough work and with only the two of them they couldn't take on a lot more. Increase in customers would at least force them to change a thing or two.​

​

Jennifer sighed happily as the ramp to the modified YT-2400, The Maiden (hence the name of their shop), slowly descended towards the ground below with a buzzing noise, the early morning light shining into the cargo bay which they used as a workshop. There would probably go some time before a customer showed up, normally at least, and all other orders were for some time forth, so it wasn't really to worry about right now.​

​

​

Adjusting her tight work trousers with various pockets and pouches around the hip she walked a bit down the ramp, looking out towards the sunlight, the steam from the mug in her hand still slowly rising into the air, a reminder that it was time for another sip.​

"Aaah. Yea. Coffee and chocolate. Nom"​

Hasjo Hallu, former Captain of the Republic Navy and Silver Jedi Padawan approached Jennifer. He gave her a curt bow. He was clearly a Jedi, not just from the way he stood but the way he dressed. Brown woollen cloak. Light brown tunic, dark brown trousers, leather boots. It screamed Jedi. He was quite the powerful being. His arms were large and his legs just as equally muscular. He began to speak firmly, and formally "I am looking to have a speeder bike constructed. Personalised for myself. I'm looking for it to be multi-purpose, for both on land and under-water use. I have some blueprints with me for the design I wish. I heard you were the go-to place?" He held out two folders. Blueprint #1 and Blueprint #2.

As Hasjo had approached Jennifer she had a first given him a kind nod from her position by the ramp, not realizing he was actually approaching her. She was perhaps a tiny bit drowsy and it could be excused as she had been up playing Sabacc the night before. As Hasjo had started to talk she had blinked repeatedly, looking down the ramp as she tried to find the source of the voice:

"I am looking to have a speeder bike constructed. Personalised for myself. I'm looking for it to be multi-purpose, for both on land and under-water use. I have some blueprints with me for the design I wish. I heard you were the go-to place?" She had not noticed it before, but now she certainly had, yes. Jedi it screamed. In fact, she had only seen very few of them down here so that could probably be her esxcuse. In the lower districts of Coruscant Jedi wasn't seen often. A rare occassion indeed, and seemingly with the sole purpose of getting a custom made speeder and from her shop. Odd. Just how far had the reputation of this place went...?

"Ah. Morning. Yes. You've come to the right place. Welcome to The Mechanical Mai-.. Wait.. Multi-purpose? Oh.." That was new, under water AND land use. She glanced over the man, he probably worked for the republic judging on his attire or at least something similar. "To be frank with you.. I must confess that I've never tried to make a speeder like that. That. That of course doesn't mean I can't. It's just going to cost. I hope that's no problem?" Jennifer had hesitated a bit as she talked, trying to cover it up with an unusual large smile. She had placed the mug she was holding on a table inside the shop, extending a hand to grab the two folders, cautiously opening and reading them.

Perhaps the Jedi hadn't thought of it until now or never would. But first oddity about this shop was that it was two young girls running the place he had catched rumors about. Second oddity was the fact that something. Could be felt radiating from the girl in front of him. That not being the scent of flower perfumed shampoo and oil that sat on her clothes. Nor both combined. No. It was more in the line of what Jedi specialized in. Something every Jedi possessed.

"To be frank with you.. I must confess that I've never tried to make a speeder like that. That. That of course doesn't mean I can't. It's just going to cost. I hope that's no problem?"
"Credits aren't a problem to me" Hasjo assured him. It was relatively true. His Uncle was quite the rich man as a recognised historian, and whilst he had been apart of the Jedi Order he had received payment for lodgings. Payment that was more than comfortable. Hasjo was indifferent to that which permeated from Jen - the force. Hasjo had always been weak in the force and was never truly strong in the connection. The only times he was strong in such a connection was during combat where he utilised his body to connect with it. An ancient technique that had been passed onto him by his master.

 

[Jen]

"Credits aren't a problem to me" Alright. A man of high stature then. This would at least make her able to go about this project easier than otherwise and the blueprints of the wanted product didn't look too far off from something she could manage to make. If she bought an already made fully functional bike she would probably be able to secure it for underwater travel too in a couple of days, that including the purchase of the parts needed for such, wasn't really an offer she got everyday.


"Ah. Alrighty then. Is there any other requirements needed? Speed or what not? I can optimize it as much as needed, but the price will of course become higher the more you add. But if it is only intended to do as you just said it could go around for the cheap price of two payments being eight thousand creds and when it's built a payment of eightteen thousand creds. That would just cover it." She gave a firm nod to add an extra effect to her statement, a smile covering her face. "I'm Jennifer by the way. So. When do you want it done?"

"I'm Jen by the way. So. When do you want it done?"
"Hasjo Hallu" he announced himself to her "I wish it done as soon as possible, but do not hassle yourself to get it done immediately. Just preferably within two weeks." He reached into his robes and took out two credits inscribed with the number 10,000. He held it out for her to take "Should this cover it for now?"
