Well, she hadn't lied when she had told her brother Jerrid that she were heading down to the Southern valley, namely her bestie [member="Mariya Fleischer"] 's estate.
She had done so in response to her father grounding her ship the mariner IV for her stunt a week earlier on Commenor while under a sith attack. She had bolted through their blockade upon emerging from hyperspace, and then ripped through the atmosphere at a thunderous mach-10.
In short;
At the time, Marina not only evaded the pair of TIE/drone fighters, but managing to have them disappear in the explosion she had created using one of her escape-pods that she had eject in a narrow pass. No, her ship was certainly not armed, but she did however have fully fueled and 'on demand' ready escape pods.
And so, one may ask?
Well, she was able to remotely engage a pod's drive to near overload before releasing it. The overloaded pod crashing against one of the walls in the narrow pass, (with two drone TIES's on her tail, lest not forget that) had taken the bait in following her only to never come out of Juniper Canyon. And of course, that was how she also meet [member="Jairdain"] , whom had conjured up an electrical storm to disrupt a sith control ship from launching more TIE droids after Marina. She had met Jairdain when she finally was able to land and pick up Commenori survivors to evacuate them off the system.
Now 3 hours later her speeder was setting down on her bestie's front court yard, in the Southern fertile valleys of Alderaan....wine country.
But her bestie Mariya had not been seen, not any word on her whereabouts since the sith had attacked Alderaan. Marina had feared the worst. But her bestie was a mercenary, and Marina knew that she had been through a lot worse than sith skirmishes. Still, she had not been seen , nor heard of for nearly a year. marina had taken upon herself to look after her chalet and winery business.
She were met by one of the estate's servants, who welcome her with a hug. A quick greeting, followed by an exchange of dialogue about still no words from Mariya, soon got to Marina's point as to why she were here.
"I need to get to one of the winery's transports, and out past Gradine...." Marina said, not divulging any specific stystem.
She was hoping that the winery's monthly cycle exportation of its wines was still on schedule and had not left yet.
Sure enough the cargo transport was still being loaded and was ready to disembark in less than an hour.
Marina had no time to loose. She got the transport vessel's registration and got back in her speeder and off to get to the transporter before it took off.
40 minutes later she put her speeder down in Aldera's main port and rushed out looking for the transport.
She made it just as the last pallet of sovereign wines were being loaded. A quick plea and an exchange of credits got her passage to the nearest system on the transport's route that would bring her that much closer to her intended destination.
The 12 hour jump was nerve wracking, as of course the transport had only standard drives...it was soooooo slow, as as per Marina's taste.
But that arduous mundane jump finally came to rest on a system that she knew she could make contact with some people. After all, she had been kind of involved with the resistance in one aspect or another. Beside, she knew that 'Doctors'Without Borders' the organization she often volunteered her time for, had some personnel on that system. Marina was certain they could help her get to Commenor in one form or another...
"No no..my ship's fine. took on few hits but it's currently undergoing some...fuel problems." She explained to one of her contacts whom had been concerned about her needing a transport, as she had her own ship.
Naturally her rendition of 'fuel problems' didn't elaborate that her father had removed the fuel cells from the Mariner IV to keep her grounded. But here she was, light years from Alderaan and desperately trying to gain passage with anyone that had the notion of going to Commenor.
Again, the gods must have paved the way for her, for there was a transport...a medical frigate that was heading toward an undisclosed station.
"Ahh, I see. " Marina read between his words and nodded, with a good wink of her eye no less. naturally the man gave her a smile, doing his best to avoid rolling his eyes.
"Yes, I'll take it....and thanks." She said with quite a relief as she found the means to at least one of many undisclosed staging areas that were all set and geared up to help liberate Commenor.
Marina got to the medical frigate and they only had to check her profile for their system to clear her. Yes, she had been tagged in quite a few campaigns, besides being flagged as coming from House DeVoe and serving under Queen [member="Faith Organa"] . Unbeknownst to Marina herself, she was getting some reputation...even for a pacifist.
The medical frigate made the jump to the undisclosed staging site...a station orbiting what Marina could only assume was a mining moon. Her concern wasn't exactly where she was, only that it was where she could hop on a transport that was heading where she wanted to go...Commenor.
"Hold it!..hold it!..." She was shouting and waving as she ran toward what was the transport heading to Commenor.
It had already fired up it's drives and was readying for take off.j
Marina got to the side of it and was pounding it's hull, like as if anyone could hear her in a hermetically sealed ship. But one certainly happened to be looking out the port and saw tiny hands come up on the window. Naturally the ship was of a sizable weight and Marina had to jump and pound on the hull and sometimes glass when she jumped high enough. And still only her hand was able to reach the window.
It was luck once again that the pilot decided to power down and not lift the transport, but lower it's ramp.
marina didn't have to look twice as she scrambled up the ramp.
"Good gracious...I thought it was you. What in blazes are you doing here. Marina?" Yes, one of the resistance recognized her.
Him giving the pilot the signal to resume take off, he then motioned marina to sit and strap on.
As the vessel cleared the station and then took to jump out of the system, Marina and the man had time to speak and he finding out as to why she had needed to board. he shook his head as he knew she was taking too much a chance..that and without her ship. What possibly could she do?
"I don't know. But I just can't do nothing.." was the same reply as she had given her father...before he grounded her.
Well, the man had much to do and prepare for, so he instructed Marina to get on up to the main deck and find herself a good seat.
She did just that.
"Hi..." She said in a cheery tone, that kind of called the woman who was sitting next to the empty seat have no recourse but to turn to her.
"This seat taken?..."
