Excursion

[tdc25]

The search for a temporary traveling partner in Cartel came to an end. It was a Chiss Bounty Hunter named Ieng that would escort the rogue droid TD-C25 to the densely populated planet, Coruscant. They agreed to an odd deal with the operator of the ship earning nothing in return, something that TD wondered would later become a problem. It was a rare sight to behold in a Cantina, especially a rather crude and rowdy one. She was in a rough situation financially, with little money and few acquaintances in Cartel. This would have to do.

The man brought in his droid to the bar near the end of their deal making; it was a IG-97 model. The protocol fembot looked around her surroundings carefully as she wondered if robots were allowed in this Cantina. For safety, she kept herself obscured by her long and tired looking cloak. The Chiss and his robot soon left the building and led the way, with TD keeping herself closer to the Imperial battle droid as they moved.

As the duo came to the landing pad the metal woman stopped, “You two get ready for take off, I’m going to get my Bantha.” She pointed behind herself before leaving their general area.
She put down her hood as she walked a short distance to reach her mount. The animal snorted once he saw his master, she patted him on the head happily. “C’mon, we have some distance to cover.” She took the large creature’s halter and started to lead him to the ship.

Ieng sat in the pilot's seat. He was a mediocre pilot when it came to space combat, so even a crop duster on some backworld planet could blow the CC Gozanti-class cruiser to pieces if they wanted to. IG-97, or "Ian" as Ieng called him, was lounging at a holo-chess table.
Good thing I got that contract, thought Ieng. That way I can just head to Kuat once I get this pretty lady to Coruscant.'
Ieng wished droids weren't so emotionally clueless. He could've made a move on her if she was organic. A pity, he mused.

What a pity.

(OOC: Just wanted to say, my char is attracted to yours, so he might try to keep in touch with you while he completes his 2-month contract with a stormtrooper garrison on Kuat.)

 

[tdc25]

(That’s fine!)

Leading the male Bantha to the ship was easy, but getting him in the storage department will be the difficult part. The animal leaned his head towards the spacecraft and sniffed it curiously. He shook his head as the droid examined the locked door. She made a few tugs at it but unfortunately it wouldn’t budge. The bull stared at her as she struggled with it, letting out a concerned coo.
“You’re right,” She mumbled towards her mount.

The machine approached the beginning of the ship and knocked on its side, looking up at where Ieng was at. She pointed at the back of the ship; the large creature could be seen from the pilot seat.

 

[Robbie White]

"So, uh, what do you do for a living, TD? (OOC: My char is familiar with your model as he was in a garrison with one.)

 

[tdc25]

"I travel, but I have been a waitress and translator among other things," She answered somewhat shortly as she was distracted by the large door, "Help me open this, please." She gave it one more good pull. The Bantha beside her huffed.

Sounds are made as metal parts dropping from the one the ship's inner workings are heard, then followed by a female voice going,"Come on...where is it!?"

 

[Robbie White]

"Did you hear something, Teedee?"

 

[tdc25]

She looked beyond the ship, "I did." She said quietly in a suspicious tone, "It sounded like a voice."
The droid walked away from the back of spacecraft and tried to sense where it came from. The occasional noise of clanking parts and metal bits falling echoed in the landing area. She attempted to look underneath the ship but her gears wouldn't enable her, she stood in an awkward pose as she put her focus back on the bounty hunter.
"I think it's coming from under the ship."

 

[Anara Natu]

The clanking sounds became more clear and it was evident that it was from inside the ship. A female voice was soon heard again," Come on you bastard! Give it back!"

 

[Robbie White]

Ieng went under the ship into the engines.

 

[tdc25]

TD stood up straight, albeit startled by the sudden language. "Er, inside the ship actually." She corrected herself.
Was it another crew member or a complete stranger? She hoped it was the initial thought rather than the latter, though the man did have a battle droid with him... That would make a terrible mess, she had already witnessed a murder in the Cantina earlier. Another one would change the entire mood of the trip.

 

[Robbie White]

Ieng didn't see the Togruta, so he blasted off into hyperspace. "Ah, hyperspace," he said. "I don't believe I've told you that I used to be a Chiss Ascendancy commando.

 

[Anara Natu]

The mysterious clanking suddenly stopped. The voice came back, "Give it back...wait a minute...is the ship moving? Not good"

 

[tdc25]

The robot settled herself into her seat, sitting near the holo-chest table. She kept a hand on the wall as it rattled slightly when the ship went into hyperspace. The Bantha all the way in the back let out a quick roar when the spacecraft began to move quickly. TD took off her cloak and looked at it for a moment. She should've left it with her mount to calm him, but it was too late now. She put it aside her seat.

"I believe you mentioned that back in the Cantina." She replied as she stretched out her arms.

Mid way through her stretch the protocol fembot heard the murmurs of a woman's voice, she looked behind her to watch the entry way into the room. "I heard it again." She spoke with slight anxiety.

 

[Anara Natu]

An attractive young Togruta woman opens the door to the cockpit. While looking down at the floor, she awkwardly says,"Uhh.. Sorry! But can you please turn back? I think I made a mistake wondering aboard here", She then looks up to see the Chiss and blushes wildly," Uhh..he he. I'm sorry..really I am" She then looks down again, awaiting response.

 

[Robbie White]

Ieng glared. "Stowaway, eh? Well, well, young lady, you made a mistake. Being a stowaway, you are technically violating New Sith Imperium law. IG-97, go get the vac suits."

 

[tdc25]

She looked at the droid that sat beside her and then redirected her attention to Ieng, "I think killing this woman here would ruin the mood." She replied, assuming that was the Chiss' intentions. She never bothered to acquaint herself with the Sith Imperium laws.
"I think cuffing her to something would be the better option." TD suggested as she kept her hand close to her bow, in case the situation became hairy.

 

[Robbie White]

IG-97 came back with two vacuum suits and two attachments for his legs. Stepping into the attachments, he effectively stuck himself to the floor. Ieng put on one vac suit, gesturing for TD to step into the other set of attachments.

 

[Anara Natu]

The Togruta gained a shocked look on her face and through her hands up," No wait! It was an accident! I was just looking for something that a monkey stole from me!"
