Diving Deep (Ask)

[Davik Tren]

Nar Shaddaa

Outside the Soaked Tusken

​

​

Just one more night on this planet... Davik had been to a lot of sleazy scum ridden areas of the galaxy, but none very well compared to Nar Shaddaa. Everywhere you went the air was overwhelmingly filled with pollution. Dust, smoke, puke, and oil. This could also be do to the fact that he was walking along the cities lower levels, and the lower levels of Coruscant were rarely known to be any more sanitary.

The sight of the familiar glowing sign which included a comical image of a Tusken Raider drowning in some sort of tropical drink, though this was to be no indication of what was waiting inside. He knew because he had sought this place out on his first trip to the planet, that client was long dead however.

Upon entering the usual scent of a hideaway would hit a patron's nostrils, as it now did with the spacer who set his flight bag in one of the booths and ordered a Corellian Ale, his drink of choice. Who knows... Something may come along tonight.

Jake on Nar Shaddaa, highly unlikely, but he just felt he should go.

Walking the planet he found a cantina with a Tusken Raider on the sign. He decided to walk in.

The place was pretty much filled there was a booth with a man in it, the emo boy decided to sit in it.

He looked blankly at the man, then looked down, he didn't want to speak first due to his emotions for some reason.

He actually wore his leather jacket today, he never wore it but what the hell. He thought.

Davik looked up at his drink as the boy sat down. It was rather odd for someone to approach another in a bar like this. More often than not you found people keeping to themselves for fear of being recognized. Though he thought he might humor this guy, he certainly looked like he would be a bit interesting, what with all the black garb. So with a slight smirk, the spacer addressed the youth.

"Please have a seat, are you thirsty?"

The emotional boy looked back up from the ground.

The man had begun to speak to him.

"Please have a seat, are you thirsty?" The man said.

The boy looked the man in the eyes.

"I am sorry but I don't drink sir." He said blankly, he then began to stare at the man's bag, Jake wondered what was in it.

[Davik Tren]

"You don't drink?.. Then why'd you come in a cantina, boy?"

Davik took another sip of his drink and looked back towards the datapad that he had placed on the table to examine his funds and arrangements off planet. It was very dark in the cantina as well, which only added to the difficulty of seeing the boy who was clad in black and insisted on only speaking in short quipping phrases. Hopefully Davik was not about to get gunned down by a low key distraction...

"You don't drink?.. Then why'd you come in a cantina, boy?" The man said.

"Im only sixteen sir, I came here to hopefully find a job, im a studying mechanic and a part time merchant on Abregado-rae." He said before noticing the mans data pad.

"The names Jake, Jake Shorin." The sixteen year old said softly. He moved his hair away from his eyes to get a better look at the man, the man was to hard to see to to the dim lighting, but the light givfrom his data pad was.

Davik looked up from his datapad. He knew exactly where he could put the lad. It was quite obvious that a fleet of smugglers and gangsters was in constant need of ship repairs and the like, and only so many people qualified to fit that role in their little alliance, the best he knew being [member="Kohai Drenn"]. Coincidentally she remained on the same planet as he, for a short leave of course. They would be leaving the following morning and if a new engineer was brought back to the station, that would be all the more profitable to the alliance.

"So an engineer... Can you tell me what you have fixed? Anything big, anything major? I know where a guy like you could get some honest pay for those sets of skills, if you are interested, that is."

"So an engineer... Can you tell me what you have fixed? Anything big, anything major? I know where a guy like you could get some honest pay for those sets of skills, if you are interested, that is."


"Well sir I am actually umm studying to be one, I don't know, I haven't really fixed anything....yet!" He said a honest pay did sound good, especially since his mother's fruit stand isn't going to cut it.

"Hmm I'm sorry if I don't qualify."

He looked into the mans eyes, hopefully he could still get the job.

[member="Davik Tren"]

 

[Davik Tren]

"Hmm I'm sorry if I don't qualify."

Davik thought for a moment... The kid was nothing but a student, but who knows? Perhaps one of the people at the station could give him the know how. He looked genuine, but what brought him to this planet?.. He still knew very little about this apparently wandering teen, but somehow he felt as though he could not be that dangerous. He had that look about him that he would never be down for a fight, more of a confused one.

"What have they taught you at this Engineer's school? Pretty standard stuff I imagine. Any experience with... Weaponry? Just as a completely random example, of course!"


[member="Jake Sorin"]

 

[Jake Sorin]

"What have they taught you at this Engineer's school? Pretty standard stuff I imagine. Any experience with... Weaponry? Just as a completely random example, of course!"

"Well, I learned some but not much sir, I could try, and learn, anythings possible right sir?" He asked before looking at the ground again.

"My father taught me most of what I know, while my mother focused on teaching me the value of credits and how to be a successful merchant. " he said in a honest tone.


[member="Davik Tren"]

 

[Davik Tren]

"My father taught me most of what I know, while my mother focused on teaching me the value of credits and how to be a successful merchant."

Davik mulled over the new information about the boy's mother. It was always useful to have a mercantile knowledge when you delved into the career that this boy was nearly being offered. One had to be able to realize the value of something after all. And though this teen's engineering skills were all school taught, and he had no real world experience surely it was something that someone back at the station could improve upon and mold him. This all remained in speculation, however.

"An engineer, and a merchant? It sounds like a little bit of both worlds... That's pretty good in my book. And I imagine you are on Nar Shaddaa for a reason, yeah?"

"An engineer, and a merchant? It sounds like a little bit of both worlds... That's pretty good in my book. And I imagine you are on Nar Shaddaa for a reason, yeah?" The man said.

Jake thought for a minute, then began to speak.

"I mostly wander in the dark, but I came to look for a job sir, I think my mother would enjoy extra money." He said before tapping a bit on the table.

He moved his hair out of his face to see if he could see the man better, it didn't work due to how dim the bar was.

[Davik Tren]

"I mostly wander in the dark, but I came to look for a job sir, I think my mother would enjoy extra money."

Well that was to be expected. Though it was odd for one of his age. Rather than go into the nice memories of the first time he had robbed some unsuspecting thug in the undercity, Davik put a few credit chips on the table to pay for his drink.

"Look... If you want this job, I might be able to hook you up, but I'm still not sure if you'd be particularly up to the task... You wouldn't be seeing mommy a lot, kid."

"Look... If you want this job, I might be able to hook you up, but I'm still not sure if you'd be particularly up to the task... You wouldn't be seeing mommy a lot, kid."

"Mommy sir? I don't need my mother would say it too." He said

That was the truth, his mom would say it. She lets hm wander like he is a full blown adult.

It's not like she cares anymore

"Sir...I do want the job." He said

[member="Davik Tren"]

 

[Davik Tren]

"Sir...I do want the job."

Davik nodded and smiled at the teen before standing up. and walking towards the door. He looked back at the teen who still sat at the booth and tried to recall the docking number of the hanger that the Lost Cause was being serviced at.

"Docking Bay 280A, we leave at dawn, don't be late now!"

And with that, the spacer strolled on out, and hopefully, the Alliance grew a member stronger that day as well.
