Kaili flinched as the blue-grey speeder flung forward, now thankfully out of his reach. He hoped the poor driver hadn't taken that little scrape to heart. Swallowing his nerves, he looked around at the nearest problems. A fat blob like speeder had joined him and the sleeker speeder (The Dolphin Comet he thinks its name was?) in third position. Slowly he inched his speeder behind the Comet, drafting behind it so he could wait to over take it at the next turn if possible.

A muffled explosion rung in his ears as someone farther up the track fired something off, followed by a blurred pink abomination (almost as garish as his green if he were being honest) falling behind the three of them. "Was...that the champ?" He asked dumbly, sparing a second to look back, his eyes catching the sight of the aforementioned ugly blob of a speeder barreling towards him and the Comet. Looking for all the galaxy like the worlds fastest wrecking ball. "WHO EVEN DRIVES SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN A RACE?!" He yelled in between cursing a blue streak, suddenly grateful there was no microphone in the cockpit as far as he knew. The thing looked better suited to loading cargo than racing.

Sukai knew Kiso was not in the race, she maybe could have been one of the participant, but Sukai was certain her older sister was fighting on the nearby planet against the pirates that were raiding merchant ships. Either way they were here now, might as well watch the race and let Akari be spoiled by Wu, "you know master perhaps you should have a child of your own if you like my sister that much". With her finger Sukai was surprised men could keep their hand off the women, her mother constantly had that problem, even with other women. "If you have a kid Wu can I play with them.. ah I can be the bigger one, it no fun always being small". "Do not worry Akari, you will grow up tall like me and mother".

Wu looked at Sukai. "Perhaps one day but I'd have o meet someone interesting beyond well this. You've seen a number of the prspects in the Silver Jedi." She looked at her. "I mean there is a few people outside of it but they like to try with any female." She wasn't worried about it seeing the awesome moment of it.. the race was looking awesome though. "WOOOO go team." She said it and jumped before she was looking at Akari. "We shal have all fo the junk food and one day maybe you shall have a padawan around smaler then you but for now don't be in such a hurry to grow up. You don't want to be all serious like your sister do you?"

Location: Stealthed Dropship enroute to a landing zone
Allies: Silver Shadows, Lotus Guards, The Force
Enemies: Mud-Devils
Objective: Surgical Strike and secure the mining facilities

Not that racing wasn't my thing but I wasn't really one for putting the skills I had on display. As it was as Leader of The Shadows I wanted people to know I could be relied upon. I'd heard about these Mud-Devils... pirate scum mostly. They'd taken control of mining operations on Mimban and personally I wanted some of the ore they had a monopoly on as such I'd come to Mimban in a stealthed dropship. Sensors were garbage here due to the atmosphere. I didn't want to deal with any AA emplacements either as it was I was focused on surgical precision as such I'd brought along a squad of my own Lotus guards there'd been several other seats in the ship in case anyone cared to join me in taking this place. Along with the Lotus Guards I'd recently acquired a squad of four HK droids. These pirates likely had electronic jamming tech as well, anyone who had jumped in before I'd gone towards the planet would have one lotus guard and one HK unit depending on how many had slipped into the seats...

The Lotus guards were busy finishing their loadout prep. HK units were doing the same, piloting towards the surface I hoped I'd avoid any unwanted surprises...

Objective: 2

Saka hated drop pods with a passion. She felt completely trapped and frustrated at the prospect of spending time in such a confined place, the young Padawan tried to quell the feeling of rising bile as the pod threw itself towards the muddy planetary surface.

Fortunately for her own sake, the pod had landed itself on relatively solid ground in between the vast marshland that encompassed Mimban. Not that it made the landing any better as it hit the surface with a relatively huge thud, temporarily causing her to black out.

Moments later she woke up as a beacon alerted her that the pod had landed—but in this case, her view was less joyful than the silver rest. Saka moved her arms out of the safety straps and kicked opened the pod door, this time she was very unsure about her location. Mimban was not an easy place to navigate.

"Yes master, although i do not know where, use the tracker to find me if the signal isn't too blurred."

The bomb found its mark, sending the woman and her strange speeder-mech flying backwards.​

​

After Rick launched the bomb, he had expected that he would be firmly in first. However, the woman in the silver speeder continued to keep up with him. His ship's frame and shielding, already low, had only been weakened by the forces involved in deploying the bomb. Therefore, ramming would likely not be a possibility. Instead, Rick would just use his the extreme forward speed of his "speeder" to burn through everything in his path.

As Rick cleanly and efficiently turned a bend, still struggling to get the woman off his tail, another swarm of drones flew over his speeder. Instead of fitting a weapon onto his missile rack, they swiftly attached a small, star-shaped object to the concealed fuel valve of Rick's vessel. As the helper drones flew away to resupply, the tip of the star meeting the fuel valve opened up, and a bright yellow liquid flowed into Rick's speeder. As the liquid entered the engines, it began to travel through the rest of the speeder. By the time it had fully circulated, Rick noticed that his speeder had become slightly faster and stronger.

With this new boost, Rick's pulled into full throttle, sending his speeder flying forward.

"Prospects in the Jedi? last I checked there was only like 10 men, most either married, old or related to me in some way" or already her boyfriend but that was something she'd keep to herself for now.She was brought back from her mind as the short Jin shouted out, Akari waving her hands in the hair for no real reason in unison with Wu. "Fooood for everything, and when I get a Padawan I will make them work for food, food always make me do stuff.... aaah I can get them to get me foo and if they do a good job can eat too". "But why would I grow up? momeny say that I will be smol for at least thir-" "Ahh small for at least three more years yes yes, eh hee heee". 'I am going to get wrinkles at this rate'.

"Exactly." She said it looking at Sukai for the amount of male jedi and well they had everything here as she raised an eyebrow looking at Sukai and Akari. A snicker as she didn't say her mother had told her somewhat more of the truth... hell explaining that she had let her feed on her was something to see. Where she was cheering for the racers. "Yes Akari... you bribe your students with food. It makes everything better just ask your sister about how marshmallows and her get along." Wu grinned wickedly to that though and hugged the little girl closer and between her and Sukai like a shield when she pointed out some of the racer. "WOOO."

 

[Eugen Aker]

"I should one of these days," she replied, slipping her shades back on.

She took the comment as a small dig at her absence on Eshan, but she had pulled out of the talks as she decided she wasn't going to get anywhere with the woman who was clearly pro-Sith and continued with incursions into Silver space.

Spencer passed over a holoprojector, which she prompted activated to display the rendering of a large rose colored crystal. Her silver eyes narrowed under her glasses, immediately recognizing the cut precious stone for what it really was.

"I do," she answered truthfully, shutting down the display. "What about it?"

Ivory had been able to bounce ahead from her strike against Dunames, then found herself victimized just the same. Kalli rammed into her, shaking the raven-haired woman in her seat. She cursed in Huttese, throwing a hand signal considered quite taboo, then gripped her controls and pressed the accelerator.

Angrily, she attempted the next turn, using her speed & maneuverability to attempt to gain ground on Aubrey & Rick Kaloo.

She would hold onto her weapon; a Tibanna Banana Split, until the time was right.

 

[Spencer Varanin]

“Good.”

Spencer nodded seeing that the woman beside her knew her artifacts. The Silver Order seemed it would be the wisest place for her to store her most prized possession. The Echani halfling rolled her shoulders back as she sat up and continued to admire the race that unfolded before her. The cloth that covered her head soon came down and rested around her neck and blonde hair rested pulled back above her shoulders.

“As you know the Mandalorian Empire is knocking on my door. It was bothersome to have that woman in my home walking and admiring things as if she already owned it.” Spencer didn’t bother to hide her dislike for the Mandalorians, they’ve always been a troublesome people.

“I’d like to move some of my more precious artifacts over to the Silver Order for safe keeping.” Eyes moving back to the Echani. “Thoughts?”

[member="Jyoti Nooran"]

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Sukai shuddered at the flash backs of marshmallows, the training that had induced a fear of the small surgery treats,, she had never suspected Wu to be such a professional torturer. "Oneechan why do you look more pale then usualy, hee hee your face looks like a mars-" "Upupupup, nope, don't mention that word anymore you hear", a finger quickly being placed on the young girls mouth, as their master cheered on the race. "You can talk about those treats when I a not around, it's just something personal, but Tana and Kiso are okay, talk about it with them all you want okay"? "Ummm sure thing, is it an adult thing? oh well never mind, race time whippppie".

[member="Wu Yeoh-Mei"]

 

[Eugen Aker]

Jyoti noted Spencer's blonde hair as her shawl came down. Odd for an Echani, unless she was a hybrid like Josh.

"She's always been like that. She also thinks Roche and the Core belong to her too, just because."

In that flash of rage against the Republic's move closer to the Core, she had gotten a real taste for the Mandalorian leader behind her more eloquent persona. There wasn't much difference between Yasha and her predecessors, except the former having the gift of a silver tongue.

"I'm sure we can accommodate your request. Such safekeeping is our specialty. So, that's all you wanted?"

[member="Spencer Jacobs"]

 

[Wu Yeoh-Mei]

[member="Sky'ito Yumi"]

"Darn right whippie." She said it and stood up kind of to look over at what they were doing. SHe checked it all out with a look on her face. "THis is looking amazing now... lets check it all out if we can." Where they were looking now it could go over... Wu stood as tall as she could and moved to get Akari on her shoulders so that they would have the best view in the race. She could see some of the others as in the distance she could feel the force itself... she could feel what was happening elsewhere on Mimban as it resonated when she looked up with a flick of her eyes. She looked back at the races. "Go team."

 

[Spencer Varanin]

Spencer nodded, agreeing with her fellow Echani. She glanced and noticed the note on her hair, she was indeed a hybrid and was something odd to others it seemed. Either way, it didn’t bother her in the slightest. A hand moved, and her slender fingers covered her lips as she thought, they folded soon after as she sighed.

“Safe keeping was my priority. I have other artifacts, I’d like to move over as well.” The woman paused as she thought about the things she had and how she had to go through these lengths to protect them from the Mandalorians. Jyoti asked if there was more she wanted. “Company to the races was on the list, you’ve seemed to fulfill that.” Spencer smirked and dropped her hand to her lap.

“To be honest, I had every intention on trying to convince you and the Silver Order to create an enclave or what have you on Eshan. Though we seem to be far from your realm of influence, I’d much rather have Jedi than Mandalorians running along the landscape of Eshan.” A frown, a rare sight on the pale face of the woman. “I know you cannot promise help but having a presence on the planet would be helpful.” A sigh and then a smile followed.


[member="Jyoti Nooran"]

 

[Eugen Aker]

There it was. The Queen wanted much more than just her trinkets safeguarded.

"Eshan is quite far," she acknowledged with a nod. "However, distance matters quite little to me. As Jedi, our mandate extends across the galaxy. The real obstacle to providing any kind of assistance is Thyrsus. In good conscience, I can't put up a front protecting the sovereignty of Echani Command against Mandalorian expansion while Eshan itself keeps Thyrsus as an unwilling colony."

The Mandalorians engaged in their imperial pursuits under many (poorly veiled) guises, one of their favorites being as liberators. She could see it now, the Mandalorians rolling into Echani space using the Thyrsian issue against Echani Command.

"I can't tell you how to run your country, but I do implore you get ahead of the Mandalorians and cede control of Thyrsus. This is how you will save your people."

[member="Spencer Jacobs"]

 

[Spencer Varanin]

She tensed slightly as the Jedi beside her mentioned Thyrsus. It was true that they were rooted deeply in the recent civil war on Eshan, but it was quietly taken care of. It had summoned Spencer back to the planet to replace her stand in. Regaining the reins was a feat, but things seemed to have mostly possibly calmed down. The tension in her shoulders relaxed as she mused over the Grandmaster’s comments.

“It seems I’ve held onto my former Master’s training in diplomacy tighter than I’d like to fully admit.” It wasn’t a secret that the woman had been trained by a former Empress of the Sith – strength and keeping those that had caused trouble close was something even the Empire today followed. Seeing that she was doing something she had talked down upon made her chuckle slightly. “I won’t argue.”

As much as she disliked moving towards an equality of peace, Spencer knew it was the best course of action for the Echani Compact and Thyrsus. “I’ve always known that I couldn’t hold on to Thyrsus as hard as I have been. It would be better for the system if we worked together specially to preserve ourselves from the Mandalorians.”

“Seems I have more to do than I had assumed. Is there anything you wish to ask of me?” Turning to Jyoti, the blonde smiled and nodded. “If possible, would the Silver Order like to send a diplomat to the talks between Thyrsus and the Echani Compact?”

[member="Jyoti Nooran"]

 

[Eugen Aker]

She caught Spencer stiffen as the Thyrsus question was brought up. Undoubtedly it is was a difficult prospect having to give up the world with its deep ties to Eshan. Surprisingly, the Queen seemed to come around to Jyoti's advice without complaint, even requesting the Silver Order play mediator.

"I could accommodate that particular request," she agreed with a nod. "I'll send my top diplomat. As for crystal and the other items, the SJO can hold those in our possession for the time being. I have don't have any further questions at this time."

With their business settled, she relaxed back into her seat, shifting her focus on the giant holoprojectors hovering above the track.

"Now why don't you say we enjoy the race?"

[Aubrey King]

The so called Boss fell back to the pack as she was stunned, and again it was just the Kiribian and the Mon Cala again running neck and neck.

However, she receieved a handy boost that may finally give her an edge against her current rival, Mech Wings. The Razorback began to glow with light as its engine when into overdrive, small winglike contrails forming it is wake.

As she passed the start line with Kaloo for the second lap, she gunned the accelerator in an attempt to pull ahead. She was determined to finally stand alone in first place.

[Allyson Locke]

Things were heating up as the first lap was ended, the second was already heating up to be something good. The stun for the Boss had come off and she shook it off. Any force sensitive would feel the rage that built up in the girl as she sped forward.

[member="Dunames Lopez"]
Movement: 2-6 = 4 = 2 movement
Item: Tibanna Banana Split * check table for effect
The lovely First Order pilot moved with grace as she remained in control of her speeder. She moved ahead of Kaili and Cal Rus. Seeing that she was able to get out of this push unscathed a lovely little bot dropped a weapon into her slot. The small little robot waved and mouthed Enjoy!

[member="Cai Kal Rus"]
Movement: 1 – 3 = 2 = 1 movement
Hazard: 6- 3 = 3 = Lose Control – 1 Maneuverability

Cai was doing good as he moved forward in the race, Dunames pulls ahead of the little pack they were all in. If Cai tried to push harder something happened and suddenly his speeder as adorable as it was – began to lose control! Hurry and regain control! The crowd ooo’d and cries of concern echoed through the track.

“IS HE GONNA LOSE IT?!” The voice of the loud mouth announcer named Ron.

[member="Kaili Brand"]
Movement: 2- 6 = 4 = 2 movement
Item: 3 – Tibanna Banana Split

“Looks like Mr. Brand’s speeder has found its way!” Henry cried over the mic as the sleek green and black speeder pulled ahead of Ivory Stroud and Cai – and matching speed with Dunames. It was getting interesting, but it seemed none were catching Aubrey and Rick.

[member="Rick Kaloo"]
Movement: 2-10 = 8 = 3 movement
Item: 4 = Cacophanizer Shell

Suddenly it was like his speeder came to life and sped ahead of Aubrey, the crowd wondered what was going to happen for the Kirbian. Would she catch up to the now current leader? Rick gained another armament for his dominating performance.

[member="Ivory Stroud"]
Movement: 1- 6 = 5 = 2 movement
Item: 2 = Reroll – 1 = Phobis Bomb

Ivory gathered herself up and now moved forward, it seemed everyone who was struggling in the first lap was now catching a bit of luck. She moved forward despite losing one of her shields and tied up with Dunames and Kaili. It seemed the three of them weren’t going to be leaving each other in the dust any time soon.

[member="Aubrey King"]
Movement: 1 – 10 = 9 = 3 movement
Item: 2 = reroll – 5 = Mech Wings +2 Speed

The Razorback was fast, and the crowd went wild as the first turn came and Aubrey quickly caught up to Rick. Just like the trio tied, it seemed Rick and Aubrey were going to match pace the first leg of the second lap. Just like previously it seemed like the speed gods were on the razorback’s side – once again receiving a boost.

Would this be enough to finally over take Rick?

The angry pink speeder walker blazed forward and pushed its way past Cai and was coming up from behind Dunames, Ivory, and Kaili. She wiggled her way and cursed shaking her fists at the trio as she sped by them. She didn’t get much farther and hung out behind Rick and Aubrey. As much as she liked getting the boost her speed she had hoped for a weapon to shoot back at the squid boy!
