There were few places in the galaxy that Yuri considered safe. Without a doubt in his mind he considered The Vegesso Asteroid Base as one of them. So sitting on bar stool, leaning with his elbows against the wooden surface of the bar itself the tall human looked in front of him, enjoying a moment to himself. The base was so much different than the first time Shyra and he entered it with T4, now they had dozens of droids running around the place, hangars were operational, markets and what not and actual people running around as well. Given, all of them were Retrade members at this point but certainly it was a strong deviation from when he first entered this base. Some of the people were in fact possible future Chieftains of this very base but that was something Yuri and Shyra would have to agree upon, whom they trusted enough to handle operations in their absence.

With his TranspariPad in front of him Yuri casually sipped on his drink as the silver, bartender, droid in front of him did his job and served the patrons. No one really addressed the muscular human at this point who now carried the title of Underlord in the Ona'bak Retrade. Waiting on his partner to arrive with a special delivery he simply smiled at how good things were going lately, money was coming in, ships and more members. He never really aimed to be a high ranking member in a crime syndicate but it wasn't such a bad life once one got a little used to it. Off course all things were earned, both the money and the ships. The adventure on the Chiss capitol sprang to mind as one of the more recent ones.

Enjoying as the alcoholic beverage burned his insides Yuri thought about the ships that the Retrade got after that specific job but he was dragged out of his serenity by the screen of his TraspariPad lighting up. A text notification, as Yuri found out by taking the device in to his hand and reading, of an incoming vessel with correct protocol reaching the base. A smile lit up on his face, she was finally here!

Finishing his drink in one go Yuri swallowed the vile poison that was the whiskey and made his way to the hangar, his one true partner had finally arrived with some new toys. The sensor net had confirmed everything was in order so the Underlord wasted little time in heading over there to greet her. By the time Shyra would enter the base and leave her ship she'd see Yuri walk inside the hangar and spread his arms out, quite happy to see her after such a long time spent apart!

While Yuri was off fighting Rakghouls and saving the galaxy, Shyra was here at the base working. Fixing doors, building new areas, assembling beds, or flying orders in and out - a time consuming process considering the required protocol for gaining access to the base now. Either way, this latest job that Shyra went out on was a much more exciting one. Having caught a shuttle out with another Retrade member, and planet hopping for a week or so until she had collected her package. Enlisting the help of another Retrade member, Shyra collected two CM-44 Copperhead shuttles and performed the annoying, but necessary, hyperspace jumps and code exchanges.

Each of the two Copperheads were loaded to the brim with supplies - alcohol, food, fertiliser for the in-house gardens, air and water filters, and some more goods for the markets - Shyra, of course piloting one of them which she had adopted as her own, the other piloted by a Retrade Layman who went by the nickname "Chief". The Copperhead's four engines whirred in independent movement as Shyra spun the ship into the magnetically secured hangar, each engine rotating independently as the ship pivoted a hundred and eighty degrees with lightning fast precision. The ship settled down onto the landing gears that slid out from the engine mounts, whirring down to their silent standby. Shyra gently kicked off her pilot's chairs restraints and moved through the rear area, squeezing past the pallets of stock and goods.

Upon exiting the ship, Shyra saw Yuri and gave him a gentle hug and then motioned a hand to the Copperhead that Chief was settling down onto the ground, while keeping her other arm around his waist, "That one's yours."

"Copperhead Assault Shuttle," she smiled, "R4 can pilot it - don't worry, big guy," she patted him on the stomach as she then moved over to a crew of people in the Hangar, "Yo! Get all this unloaded and into the right places! Both ships!"

Shyra turned her attention back to Yuri, "We're good to start business by the looks of it here - Doesn't look like you've managed to blow this place up or alert the galaxy to us," she smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "Good work, Sharp."

It was quite clear the way the two Copperheads entered his field of vision which one was piloted by Shyra. She was easily the single most capable pilot he'd have the pleasure of flying with, she excelled under pressure, knew her ships inside and out and on top of that sometimes actually piloted the Hansa in just her bra. Oh the good ol' days! Yuri had to smile watching the two vessels land as several droids and Retrade members piled up behind him. He didn't say much, just grinned as he got a hug from the person he trusted more then anyone else in this galaxy.

After all Shyra and he did go through thick and thin and had become true partners. Hugging the shorter red head back he let go of her as "Chief" landed the other Copperhead next to Shyra's and before he knew it his face lit up like a little kids' would when it got a present from Santa. Or in this case a really hot female Santa that liked to kiss other females. Ohhh what a beautiful place the galaxy was!

As the people moved in to unload everything Yuri bust out laughing. "I love it. Thanks Shyra!" The little jab at his piloting skills was hardly noticed by the big man as he observed the small ship, god damn that thing looked awesome! But before he had a chance to inspect it closer he'd received praise from his partner about not blowing up the base or anything like that.

"I object! What am I? A Kushari?!?" He said jokingly as he observed Shyra's Copperhead, signaling for the woman to join him in observing the ships. "How was the trip? You up for a drink later?" A little ways away "Chief" exited Yuri's Copperhead, his heart still beating like crazy from the experience of flying with one Shyra Dervish... God the woman was a crazy skilled pilot...

Shyra chuckled as she leaned against Yuri's bulk, "Meh - the flight was alright. Chief struggled once we got to the belt. Dumbass had to use the mirror circuits -- his shop copies what mine does a few seconds later." Essentially it allowed a string of ships to follow the same path at a high speed that allowed fast, decisive actions without any margin of error between them.

"Ships handle like a dream, though..." she nodded to the rest of the base, "Hows the little city moving along?"

While she waited for a response, she tucked her finger into Yuri's pants and gently pulled him in the direction of the recreational areas of the base - namely the bar. Shyra led the way, listening to Yuri give a run down of the base's operations, pausing to give instructions to members of the Retrade, or the maintenance and service droids that actually operated the base.

The bar itself which neither Yuri nor Shyra had bothered to give a name yet was simply known as 'The Bar'. It was a generally simple place, a clear bar in the centre of the room, with some tables and chairs littered around in a hodge-podged fashion. A speaker box placed in the corner played some of the more nostalgic tunes from twenty or so years ago. Shyra sat down at the bar and waved at the bartender droid, who had become accustomed to her presence and quickly set to presenting her with an ice-cold ale, and placed a second in front of Yuri at her request.

"So, Sharp," she smiled as she placed her drink down, "Certainly a long way from a mechanic and an on-the-run merc, aren't we?"

The way those babies looked Yuri was stoked to take them out for a spin, not without T4 though. You know, just in case... The Copperheads looked badass though, no other way to describe them really. And the news about them handling like a dream were welcomed ones as well. Getting "dragged" to the bar Yuri enjoyed the little walk and the short business talk Shyra and he had. Especially her yelling out instructions like that certainly was amusing to him.

So far so good would be the general assessment on how things went, everything was really going according to plan, if there really was one. Maybe even ahead of plan with the new funding the two received by joining the Retrade and gaining the titles of Underlords. Just meant more people walking around to Yuri, which really was a welcome change. Having a gang of droids run through the place would have been weird, this way it's more alive and easier to endure when Shyra was gone. Although with so many droids around Yuri was slowly but surely getting the hang of a new language, Binary, although he obviously couldn't speak Binary he began to understand certain beeps and boops that the droids made when working.

He still had a bit to go before he could call himself a mechanic but certainly he now understood 'Trooper' a whole lot better than when he got him back on Nar Shaddaa. But back to the present, leaning against the chair with his fellow Underlord sitting across the table Yuri smiled as his head nodded at Shyra's words. "Indeed, indeed we've come a long ways since then. Especially my bank account... Says I have over 4.5 million credits on my personal account. And all thanks to this right here..." Gesturing with his right hand to the two of them Yuri grabbed the big glass of cold ale and raised it in to the air. "So here's to us then!"

Taking a heavy swig of the beverage Yuri felt refreshed as he put the glass back down on to the table his brown eyes returning to look at Shyra as he added. "That reminds me I wanna go ahead and buy you something nice. But they were out of Hydrospanners and White outfits like the one you got on Coruscant. So I'll just go ahead and ask, anything in particular Miss Shyra Dervish, Underlord of the Retrade would like for her birthday?" Smiling and joking a bit the man was interested what his partner could want at this point. Seemed like it all worked out for the best, even with the money and the base after the Heist things continued to go, pretty much as usual.

Just with new ships, guns, armors, bases, more money and new contacts... Things always kept moving and developing, that much was for sure.

Shyra chuckled and sipped on her ale, "What to buy for the girl who has everything, eh?"

Truthfully, Shyra was the proud owner of two ships, she had spoiled herself and kitted out one of the bases many hangars with a full workshop capable of handling repairs on almost any ship or device. While now it was a little pointless, she had some of the best armour that any pilot would dream of - the Hansa was grounded a little until all the excitement of the heist settled down. A 'classic' like that ship drew more attention than Shyra wanted these days - hence the new, 'more common', Copperhead shuttles. Clothes? Shyra was happy buying bulk packets of combat pants and singlets. Jewellery - got stuck when she was working on ships.

"I donno, Yuri. Its not like we need anything these days. Between the money the boss has put into this place, and the money it makes on its own, we're not exactly left with a shopping list a mile long," she shrugged sipping on the ale. "I mean, I wouldn't mind improving the belt's sensor net - maybe add a few weaponised droids out there or something."

"Oooh!" she smiled, "We could convert hangar twelve! -- you know the one that the magnetic field doesn't work on, so we have to use the blast door. We could convert it into a nature reserve thing. Its plenty big - I'm sure we could get some animals in there. Probably work as like a day-care thing too for members who arrive and don't want their critters crapping all on the ships!"

Anticipating Yuri's next question, "...Yes. You can buy something to go in there."

What to buy the girl who has everything indeed. Love! That would have been Yuri's first answer, a random one no doubt, but he was on many occasions a random person himself who had quite a wacky sense of humor. And while he had no illusions about who he was or where he came from the man was thankful for the turn his life took. And much of it could be attributed to Shyra, and their odd jobs. Although Yuri had yet to see any money made from the VAB he was perfectly content with earning his own buck and having a little savings box here just in case.

Sipping a little on the ale Yuri waved over to the droid. "Get me some water will ya?" For whatever reason the ale wasn't quite doing it for him, and with the new air filters and water purifiers he could enjoy a glass of water as well. His attention wasn't removed from Shyra for too long though, as Hangar Twelve came in to the conversation and with that Yuri smiled like a little kid. Really sometimes Shyra has the weirdest but still best ideas around. If it were a cartoon right about now Yuri would have a white cloud over his head and many many wild and awesome animals would fill it up, while Yuri himself could pet and play with them.

The wicked grin didn't disappear after he had a second to think about it. Oh no! Rather the big man nodded replying. "I like it. Can I..." And there it came! As if she could read his every thought Shyra answered his question before he even had a chance to ask it. Yuri chuckled, it would appear they've really become close over their time together. Or was it that Yuri was just that easy to read to the master pilot that was Dervish?

Either way he nodded as the droid came over with his glass of water, leaving the ale behind should Yuri reconsider about drinking it. The man nodded thanking the droid before returning to the subject at hand. "I like the idea... I think I know where I should go about buying some pets. Though first we should decorate it, right? I've been meaning to go back to the Daedalus after I wrap this mission on Nar Shadda with Lorelei." Looking at the table Yuri thought about it again, Nar Shaddaa....

The place where he grew up and the place that shaped him. It was where he endured so much, where an evil Hutt owned him as a slave, and where the RKD Syndicate had him work for them. It was a most difficult life in many regards but in a way Yuri made peace with it. If he hadn't lived there and that particular way he very well might not have been where he was today. Though deep down he didn't really wish to go back to that planet. Too many bad memories... Shyra being his closest friend, along with Xalax, knew very well most of Yuri's past. That he was a slave, a gladiator and an assassin. She didn't know all the details but certainly knew more then anyone else in the galaxy about the man that was Yuri Sharp.

"A meeting with the Hutts... And I have front row seat for it. Should be fun, right?" He asked half jokingly, though Shyra could easily tell that it bothered him that he would be going back to that place...

Shyra chuckled and nodded, "It should be..." remembering Yuri's checkered past, she then added, "...just remember the Hutts come to the Retrade when they need things. We're a lot higher up the food chain now."

Finishing her ale, Shyra leaned back in her chair and put her feet up on Yuri's leg beneath the table. Shuffling down in her seat and breathing deeply she smiled, "God damn its good to have fresh purifiers." Shyra's thoughts quickly returned back to Hangar Twelve. "I figure if we use the access up on deck three we can keep the critters inside - there's about what? an acre in there?"

Hangar Twelve was, without a doubt, probably one of the largest hangars on the base, with the exception of Hanger One. Something like nearly four hundred meters long, and at least a hundred meters wide, it was capable of housing some of CEC's widens and most ugly YT-series freighters. Of course, with the door completely cactus, the space was entirely unused. Shyra's mind was planning a crazy, crazy place. Animals from all planets there, a riverbed, waterfall, trees -- naturally some creative landscaping and plumbing would be required to pull this off.

Scratching her chin as she looked to Yuri with a devilish grin, "You know - being in our positions, we can just post up missions for certain members to hunt down certain animals, right? Capture them and bring them back in to us for release in Hangar Twelve," while the idea of certain animals was a nice one, Shyra had to make a point, "That being said, we'll have to be careful about what animals go in here... Too many predators and it'll just end up a killing field."

"I think a little nature strip in here would be nice..."

A subtle nod was all the reply Yuri gave on the matter, one couldn't erase certain things from their past but the former gladiator certainly tried to work past it. After all he already paid the Hutt who "owned" him back with death, so they were kind of even in that regard. These were different Hutts altogether so if he looked at it like that it certainly could work out...

Enjoying the noticeable increase in fresh air Yuri smiled while looking at Shyra as she allowed herself a moment to relax, but quickly the topic of Hangar Twelve being transformed in to a little park with animals was brought back on to the table. And quickly the two realized that they actually could go around issuing orders to the new members. Yuri was pleasantly surprised at this little benefit, though he didn't exactly plan to take advantage of it, too much.

"Well you do make a good point in not getting too many predators inside. We don't want rivers of blood flowing because we decided to get twenty Narglatch or Krayt Dragons! Hahaha besides if we do make it look all nice and pretty I would like to enjoy the occasional walk in there without having to wear my power armor... Right? Oh yeah get a couple of Dewbacks! Had Dewback meat when I was on Tatooine to get my power armor and it is delicious." Off course Yuri had no idea that they wouldn't be killing those animals at some point, or would they? Looking at Shyra for confirmation on the matter Yuri was curious what her stance on it was.

Shyra chuckled, "The idea is to let 'em walk around and live, Sharp. Then again, I suppose we could rotate what animals are in there every now and then..." she let the thought linger as she pulled her transpariPad from her belt and began tapping away at it, posting up the mission for a few critters. Upon its completion, she placed the datapad upon the table and looked to Yuri with a smile. Having the resources to do what they wanted was a nice touch, plus it opened the gates for the base to be used as a stop-over point for smuggling runs, storage of rare animals that could be sold with ease. Outside of that it also made for a nice place to forget that you were actually floating in a highly dangerous sector of space sitting inside a large hunk of rock amongst several thousand other hunks of rock.

A wave to the bartender droid had him quickly ignoring the other patrons, and shuffling two more ice-cold ales in front of Yuri and Shyra. Taking a sip she eyed Yuri off before speaking, "So. I've decided we need to get you a woman. That dancer back on the Daedalus help sate your lust any? Or are you still itching for some more tail?"

The large man had something to say on the matter actually. "Yeah no need to keep them in there all their life. Eventually just throw them on stick and we'll have ourselves a nice barbecue. It's not like they're gonna live forever anyway. Not like we can hunt them or anything..." Yep they feed the animals and give them a nice home and when it's time they do what they need to do... At least that's how Yuri saw it, although then again if there was meat to be made without killing animals he could easily go for that instead.

He just had this idea of everyone enjoying some good ol' fashioned barbecue and hanging out, just to not have the pressure of being inside an asteroid that was almost the size of a small moon. But that was just one of his ideas. He had another one lingering around in his mind and it involved speedos...

And then the topic of women came up, which woke up the giant man. He paid close attention to Shyra now, as the memory of the Twi'lek dancer returned. A little smile on his face appeared for just a second. "You do have a point... I'll work on it. Gonna visit Amy on Coruscant, or go for another visit to the Daedalus... Or do you have someone in mind already? It's Lorelei isn't it?" Giggling as he let the ideas swirl around in his 12 year old brain Yuri awaited to hear Shyra's thoughts and comments on the matter. There were always the Chiss women... After all Yuri did help save their Capitol a while back, so they could respond, other then with a 100.000Cr, with a few lady friends for Yuri. Right? There was something that the man rather liked about blue skin...

Shyra laughed, "You wanna shag the boss? Not a smart move, Sharp. You've got better odds getting me into that mess of sheets you call a bed."

Truthfully Shyra was a busy girl and barely had time to satisfy herself, let alone find a man who was capable enough to do it for her. The Retrade was a lifestyle now, not even just a job. Not that she was complaining by any stretch of the imagination, business was great, her bank account was fat, and only getting fatter, even with all the money she had poured into her ships, armoury, wardrobe, and the money she had personally put into the Asteroid base she was still sitting pretty with just shy of three point eight million credits. No matter how much she seemed to spend the money kept on rolling in, and Shyra was not complaining about that.

"Like you've got time to go chasing tail anymore anyway," she shrugged, sipping on her drink. "With all thats going on here, i'm half surprised you're not napping in the corner with all the hard work that seems to be taking place around you."

A thought came to her mind as she looked into the large man's eyes, and she smiled, "So I have an important question to ask you, Yuri..." she paused and took a hefty swig from her ale. "Will you marry me?"

She let it linger for a moment, and laughed at the look on his face, "Kidding!" She smiled as she rested her hand upon his, "I'm sorry big guy, I had to."

"In all seriousness, whats the living arrangements now? You going to move into the base? Or keep your crap on The Hansa in the hangar?" she frowned, "I love the ship, but she's too high profile to keep taking out - so i'm going to park it right in the back of Hangar two - the big one - and set it up as a house, of sorts... I'll still keep all the uhh..." chuckling, Shyra continued, "...party favours that we installed there for close access. Plus there's room for the Copperheads in the two pays in front of it that both have a straight-shot at the exit up the main launch way."

"Speaking of the copperheads - What're you gonna name yours?"

It was a biological trick really. All men wanted to 'shag' every hot female they saw, just their urge to breed or something. Women really should see it as a compliment sometimes, simply because if men went crazy after them, probably meant they were hot. Scratching the back of his head Yuri looked on at the crazy broad commented on his chances of landing in bed with the boss. "Hey, I disagree Dervish!" He couldn't even keep his serious face up, a smile popping in every other second. "I think Lorelei is... bwahaha... Yeah you're probably right. She is hot though..." Boy oh boy was the boss hot.

Then again Yuri didn't exactly see her as the boss, titles didn't mean that much to the guy, though he was sure to be on his best behavior when she Lorelei was around, after all in record time thanks to her influx of credits and manpower the VAB had undergone a crazy change, as have both Shyra's and Yuri's bank accounts. His partner then commented that she's actually surprised that he wasn't napping in a corner somewhere. To that Yuri just looked to the side for a second. "Yeah I've got limitless energy like that... That and I took a nap while on my way here and then one just before you got here on the Hansa. But damn woman, there's always time to be chasing women."

Picking up his drink two, female, Retrade members walked past the table and Yuri casually looked over. "Sup?" Returning to his conversation with Shyra he certainly didn't expect what came next. His eyes widened suddenly, what the kriff, married? Wh... What? She wanted to marry him? Yuri's brain for just a second tried to compute the idea of Shyra being a soccer mom and because of that and Yuri being a bit worn out his brain almost melted.

A huge relief came in that Shyra turned out to be kidding. Well not a huge relief, but just in that the image that Yuri had a moment ago wouldn't come true just yet. Imagine if she had to drive the kids to school and someone wanted to race her, oh my god...

"Phew that was a close one... You had me going there Dervish." Sipping on the ale instead of the water Yuri realized that he would probably benefit from some sleep as well, noting that for quite a while now he was just taking naps when he could. Three very dangerous and exhausting jobs in a row, and very little sleep. Maybe Shyra had a point? Looking at the table as he tapped his fingers against it, his TranspariPad close to his hand, the man wondered where he'd live now.

"I'll leave my stuff in the Hansa for now. Not really feeling like moving just yet. Might move if I find a nice room inside the base though. Will move my gear to the Copperhead though." And by gear he meant all the guns and armor, stuff that he didn't really need inside the base. "So I guess we're still living together? Or did you want to redecorate my room into a spa?"

When the subject of the Coppearheads came up Yuri just shrugged his shoulders and gave a mellow. "Figured I'd just go with Copperhead, easy and awesome. And you?" Looking at the table Yuri had a childish idea. "By the way, wanna go and yell instructions at the newbies just to cheer ourselves up a little?" Not really giving Shyra the chance to say no the hulking man stood up, giving her just enough time to answer or comment on any of the topics they discussed and perhaps have a quick sip of the ale before he moved in a literally picked her up in his arms and carried her outside much to the surprise of the present Retrade members.

"Reminds me of Metelos. By the way I've seen this add that made me think, we should go on a vacation when things settle in sometime. you know, lay on a beach for a few days, TranspariPads in hand, catching some sun. How about it?" Where they were going? Hangar Twelve! "If you prefer you can walk on your own. But I want a big ass predator animal in Hangar 12 damn it!"

Shyra laughed and elbowed Yuri in the ribs, falling from his arms gracefully to land on her feet and settled into walking alongside him with ease. The walk to Hangar twelve was a remarkably short distance away as it was right next to the market, which was only a few levels below the entertainment area of the base. A short walk, and an elevator ride filled with small talk - ships, members of the Retrade, idle gossip, and Shyra's on-going bet with other members of the Retrade as who can cross the asteroid belt faster than her.

"Chief is still under the impression that he can get from one side of the belt to the other faster than I can," Shyra laughed as they rounded the corner, and she tapped the wall-panel that opened the observation deck for the large and unused Hangar Twelve, "Dumbass..."

The large hangar, easily eighty meters across, and nearly four hundred long was going to be a nature reserve. Pointing out along the hangar to certain areas, vents, ducts, and a cargo lift, "We can organise for a cargo hauler of dirt in here, we can put a waterfall over there, down into a deep pond there..." she smiled and looked to Yuri. "Install a few scanners in here to keep track of all the animals to keep them from killing each other, help find the ones we need... We could probably convert the mechanic bay next door to be a carnivorous animal holding area - get a few ray shield emitters in there..."

"What do you want in here, big guy?"

Really this place was huge, not that the walk was long or anything, but the base certainly had everything one could want and need to live a normal life, in space. The tall human was actually quite glad to see so many people inside the base, certainly during his absence they went ahead and transformed this place so much that it seemed like a totally different place. And while the pleasure of carrying Shyra didn't last long Yuri did have the chance of saying hi to multiple Retrade members he met recently. One of which actually did some maintenance on his speeder.

"Haha Chief... Good man, but crazy if he think I'll bet against you in a race." It was the truth really, Chief was a capable pilot, easily a few levels above Yuri when it came to traveling through space and piloting shuttles, though Yuri certainly had a big edge when it came to piloting speeders and shooting things. Not to say that the man didn't know how to handle a gun as well. Which actually put him in the position of possible Chieftain, though that was something both Shyra and Yuri would decide on together.

Either way it would have to wait as the doors to Hangar Twelve opened and revealed the massive unused space. Yuri looked around, trying to imagine what exactly Shyra had in mind for it. All the while his brain screamed, predators!!! Then again though, he didn't want to get eaten or anything like like that, and it would be nice to have such a space for the occasional walk as well. So he calmed the **** down before turning to face Shyra. "We could get like three Vorn-cats? You pick the names. Also we could install an elevated sitting area to have lunch in, maybe the occasional business meeting? Sure would be nice to have a place that doesn't remind me of Cantina's all the time. What do you think?"

Looking around he added with before Shyra had a chance to answer. "Also any animals in particular you'd like to see here? With this much space I'm guessing you'll have a field day designing it." It was a good day actually, finally a bit of time to lean back, make plans and just not worry about who would be next to jump out and shoot at you, Yuri was enjoying the hell out of it.

Shyra let out a chuckle at Yuri, "Ease up there big guy. I'm not naming anything until its in front of me."

She motioned to the space, "I reckon we can fit a decent sized ecosystem in here. Plants and animals of all sizes from various places... Hell, there's a whole market in this. Live animal export - idiots like you would pay top dollar for certain animals. We can organise for the Retrade to hook us up with a few animal handlers."

Motioning to a small balcony-esque style mezzanine that came down from the observation room that led down a single staircase that moved to the hangar floor, Shyra continued, "Probably get one of the stimcaf carts to set up over there - we'll have to figure out how to keep the animals from dive bombing our guests, though..." Shyra made a quick mental note of how to fix the issue.

Releasing a deep sigh, she turned around, admiring the space, "Go back a few months, Yuri. I had a jammed ship, and you had big muscles. Who the hell would have guessed we'd have ended up here doing something like this..."

This whole enclave thing could get pretty darn boring if we don't find something to do!

That's what Yuri though at one point in time. Putting sleep aside and all these chores as well Yuri figured since they were in the middle of nowhere, which one could argue was any place in the galaxy the man let his brain do some thinking. Talking monkeys in Space. What? Yep that's what they were, basically!

But moving on he addressed the little safety issue that some of their guests might have. Pointing in the general direction of the area he spoke casually but with a renewed energy to his tone. "Just put a shield or some thick glass and you'll be fine. Besides we need to talk some really important." Gesturing that Hangar Twelve would come along with time Yuri wasn't really into flowers and trees, though he wouldn't mind helping out in setting it up if he was at the base and had the time. Which really he couldn't lie about since he really didn't have that much to do when he was here!

Things went smooth everywhere he looked, the droid bartender always made good drinks, food was good, equipments was coming in and carried by droids, installed by the tech people. All he really needed to do was say what he wanted done and eventually it'd get done, Hangar Twelve being a perfect example of that. It was just easy at times, though if he was to be honest so far Yuri only came here to rest before going out on another job.

"We should get tattoos! Some awesome dragon and tribal stuff." Yuri said out of the blue, gesturing at his back and shoulders. Wouldn't that be cool? Yakuza-style! Looking at Shyra Yuri let the idea swirl around a bit before he commented on his own brilliant suggestion. "I think you'd look really badass with some tattoos on you..." There he was being a 16 year old kid again... They needed something to do after all...

"Tattoos? Really?" Shyra raised an eyebrow to Yuri, "What makes you think I don't already have any? Perhaps just in places you've not yet had the privilege of seeing?"

She chuckled as she let Yuri ponder the thought for a moment. "And what makes you think we've got enough spare time to run about getting tattoos?"

"I don't know about you, but i'm actually running a business here," she motioned to the hangar next door to them, "I've got the chop shop kicking off, the on-site mechanic team choosing their workers, and beyond all that, I'm also running the survey and security net response teams."

"How did you end up getting so much damned free time?"

Hmmm maybe she had a tattoo on her heel? Or!!! Then again maybe she was just jerking his chain? Yeah sounded about right. Looking over at the short haired woman Yuri got a bit of a lecture, he didn't exactly get yelled at which was the only good things about it, but Shyra did raise the issue of him apparently having too much free time. To which Yuri had a response! Leaning in a bit closer Yuri had this serious look on his face while he replies.

"Shyra, you used to be cool. We did all sorts of jobs before, and now we're drifting apart! Just kidding, I handle outside stuff at the base. Like..." Ok now he needed something good... "Vorn-cats for Hangar Twelve! We should get three! I think I know just the guy! Or do you need me to help out with something here? Either that or I'm going for a nap and I'll see ya later and then maybe we can do something?" Yuri could play the innocent kid all he wanted but he obviously knew that Shyra was the one who kept this place running smoothly. Though he did wish that sometimes they'd get to do more stuff together.
