These two old lushes are good to us; the booze will be fit for a king!" Appreciating that logic, Co-pilot hosltering his gun stated - Co-pilot- "Almost there...."

And dropping into hyperspace The Hand Maid Tail, and the three Twi'leck girls, went ripping along through space. The voice of Shakk rose up in a bewildered tone -Shakk- "Gid was that a waste of time?" The words coming off as more statement of fact than a question were only heightened by Alem adding -Alem- "Gotta admit she has a point there Gid." Her blood pressure rising to a dangerous level the red girl calmly said -Gid- "Ryma plie Kora, were they wasting their time when they taught either of you to speak?" This statement quite successfully put a stop on any further questions touching on the ear of Gid, not to mention that between Alem and Shakk communication via their lekku became much more prominent. All things said, it was a quiet trip. Even as the ship began Turning to exit hyperspace Gid said nothing

The Battle of Nar Shaddaa
Holding at the designated rendezvous point outside the Hutta system, on the embarkation deck of the Invincible Reason, the main ship of the Australis flotilla, Kaine oversaw the retrieval of the aborted strike on the Ren stronghold on the Smuggler's Moon. There were only a dozen wounded from the battalion, who had lost two irreplaceable skilled sharpshooters. They had made an excellent accounting of themselves, and Kaine had made a point to mix with them on their return, and reassure them their sacrifices had not been in vain. In time past, two beings named Darzeka and Vevut had acted both as commander of the Jare'rami'kade and Kaine's equerry and adjutant both. Bors was not suited to the latter role, and so Saphi the Ryn took up the tasks while the Besalisk commanded the squad. She spoke to Kaine as he exited the medical facility.The flotilla is ready to return to friendly space as soon as you give the order, Boss. Kaine spun around to face her. Who said we were leaving? By now Konig had joined the Jare'rami'kade, his own command squad, the Pride, eyeing their rival commandos, and were being eyed back by the Gurlanin and the Besalisk; Saphi was ignoring the boys. Konig's eyebrows raised at his father's words, but he said nothing. Kaine went on. They killed our soldiers, we're not finished here. Then he outlined his plan. Heads began to nod as the Field Marshal and Alor described what he wanted to do. There were grins and shouts of 'Oya!'. When he was done, only Konig objected. Buir, I cannot allow. Kaine growled back. Allow? Konig ignored the menace in the old boar's tone and proceeded. I cannot allow you to have all the fun here. Kaine grinned. Your place is on your ship. Konig wasn't to be denied. And yours is in the strategium, not on the front lines. I will stay aboard if you will. For a long moment, their eyes locked. Kaine knew he was going to lose this argument, he couldn't very well deny his son when he was ignoring protocols himself. Wouldn't want to bugger things up, it'll be good to have you with us. Orders were given, and preparations began for the attack. Outside, with the flotilla barely lit by the distant sparkle of Hutta's primary, the Reason and her four escort corvettes formed up. The assault plan was sound, they didn't have the firepower or the ships to fight it out with a super star destroyer, so they weren't going to. By going in with the corvettes in the shadow of the destroyer, they would be masked from the destroyer's sensors until it was too late. The corvettes would deal with any fighter screen the enemy dreadnaught could put up, and then the Invincible Reason would launch her own strike package, a boarding operation in force, that would gut the enemy ship from the inside.The boarding force was made up of the 2nd Battalion, all clad in massive assault armour and fitted out with heavy weapons. Naval personnel and even troopers would be no match for them. The heavy armour was resistant to the light weapons most defenders aboard a ship might possess, and even if they encountered trained and equipped military forces, it was unlikely the enemy would have many heavy weapons, nor the time to set them up and make use of them. In contrast, each Battalion II trooper was armed with three heavy weapons of their own, clad in heavy powered armour, fitted with thrusters and repulsors; they were in short, mobile tanks, every one. Kaine and Konig and their command squads had likewise taken the time to kit themselves out in their own assault armour. Kaine's was a towering mass of thick black and green beskar plates, while Konig's was a work of art, inlaid with aurodium. Kaine held a heavy repeating disruptor in two gauntleted hands, while Konig's gauntlets were massive clawed talons.The assault flotilla was only five ships, none of which was a match for the enemy's super star destroyer. Invincible Reason, under the command of Konig's XO, would move in to engage the larger ship, which would be held in place by virtue of its position in low orbit over the Ren's tower. The enemy would take the logical step of launching what fighters it had to screen the capital ship. Masked by the descending Invincible Reason, the corvettes would at the last minute break from the destroyer's wake and unleash a devastating coordinated volley into the enemy's starfighters, to clear a path for the strike package. Once the boarding force was aboard, the flotilla was to break off and jump to lightspeed. With no targets, the super star destroyer's firepower would be useless, and the boarding force could deal with the ship from the inside.Ready or not, the five ships jumped to lightspeed for the short trip back insystem. |

Quesh, a mostly barren planet with toxic gasses and toxic areas, located in Hutt Space.
A matalok dropped out of hyperspace. As the vessel moved towards the object of its destination, Esthh Krazhmir observed the planet with the senses of the matalok. The world was brown and appeared from this distance to be mostly lifeless and uninteresting...and for the most part it was. It was an inhospitable planet with a toxic atmosphere, rare for this galaxy it wasnt the result of despoiling of the planet by a race, but actually natural. It was not matter, the Vong had created biots to survive such things, especially when preparing to terraform a planet and cleanse it of the toxins of pollution. The planet was supposed to be home to a creature sometimes taken by Hutts as pets, but he had not been able to track down where there might be a Hutt with one. The hard way it was, finding their own. Locating the creatures shouldn’t be a problem. Since the creature’s particular talent was reportedly was to interfere with repulsorlifts...he had brought several along. A common enough piece of equipment in this galaxy, used to the point that they were almost a crutch really, useful, very useful…
The plan was simple enough, they had attached a repulsorlift to each of the coralskippers that the matalok carried. They would fly across the planet low, and relatively slow, and note when and where the repulsors had difficulties, and then do a more thorough search, calling down warriors to collect the creatures. Esthh wondered briefly if the creatures bit hard or what other issues there may be with them, but that was for another time.
The three squadrons of coralskippers slipped away from the matalok and down into the atmosphere, followed by three landers with containment creatures and warriors wearing toxic ooglith cloakers.
The matalok moved into a low orbit as the coralskippers fanned out in a long line and activated the repulsorlifts and began sweeping through likely areas, if there were such places. The troop carriers followed, spread out behind the line, evenly spaced. It took a surprising amount of time really, it took nearly four hours to get the first hit in the search. The line paused as three coralskippers spun out of line and worked back and forth, closer and closer, working until they were able to pinpoint an area, the closest coralskippers repulsor failed completely and the dovin basal had to take the crafts complete weight lest it fall out of the sky. The warriors fanned out and started to search for the creature with smaller repulsorlifts. It didn’t take long for the warriors to home in on the creature, catching the green four legged thing with the stalked eyes however. The creature bolted off through the tangled material as the warriors tried to keep pace. Meanwhile the line of coralskippers returned to line and the line of coralskippers continued to move, the wing commander angling them towards an area that was similar to the one where they had found...if not captured the first creature. A Lobel the commander had called it.
It didn’t take long for the coralskipper line to discover another two get hits on two other locations, setting the warrior squads to chase. It took the first squad nearly five hours to capture the creature, finally having to resort to using netting beetles, which only slowed the creature, the netting beetles not being designed to deal with the toxic atmosphere they did not last long and their webbing was not nearly as strong or fast. The warriors had to be quick as the netting wasnt as strong as it normally would be, and the beetles died faster than normal, so it seemed that it would be important to not release netting beetles until they were very close, or possibly from multiple sides, already being on all sides of their prey. Finally the creature was capture, snarling and angry, biting two warriors to the point where the vonduun crab vambraces almost cracked under the pressure of the bite and all the warriors shook their heads with pain. The commander wasnt sure what was causing the pain, he suspected the creature...it was able to counter the repulsorlifts...but he wasnt sure how, perhaps it was something to do with how the creature did it. No matter, they had it now, had one at least. Once they were back aboard the transport he sent his findings on to the other warrior squads. With the information the captures went faster, though not without similar difficulties once the animals were touched by the warriors, struggling in the netting beetles webs.
The pattern was repeated time after time, for over twelve hours. Only the ability to fly above the terrain and the creatures essentially telling were they were so to speak, was what allowed things to go so quickly, but even after twelve hours they only had eight of the creatures. Conferring with the shapers however, it was deemed that they had enough to make a genetic template and experiment with the creatures abilities.
The squadrons and transports climbed away from the surface and met back up with the matalok. Esthh examined the creatures as they came out of the transports as the matalok began climbing away from the planet. Shapers quickly began attending to the coralskippers and transports, making sure that the toxic atmosphere had not damaged them much, and healing the damage that was done...as well as feeding them.
The matalok moved into open space, and leapt to hyperspace, heading for its next destination.

Aargonar. An apparent barren planet at first glance, but on closer inspection holds life. The planet is a wind swept desert, remarkably similar to Tatooine.
“Sir what are we looking for here?”
Esthh remained silent for a moment, staring and the bright ball, the brown ball glowing with the light of its primary. A dry planet, desert for the most part, mostly barren.
“A giant worm that tunnels through the surface...by melting its way through the crust.”
The captain regarded him for a moment before looking back towards the planet.
“We are looking for a creature that melts its way through the planet...underground, out of sight. So how are we going to find a worm that doesn’t…give off vibrations that we can find? I can’t imagine running up behind it in its tunnels is a very attractive option.”
“No. These worms supposedly eat sarlaccs, and this planet is unusually high in sarlaccs. We are going to deploy a number of sensi slugs who are going to measure the temperature of the surface, under the ground where a sarlacc cannot get a grip on it. When the slugs measure enough temperature change...we shall arrive and pull it out of the ground with the dovin basals on the mataloks.”
“It sounds...reasonable sir.”
“It could take some time which is why the coralskippers are about to...there they go.”
All 72 coralskippers fanned out, descending towards the planet where the great eyes of the mataloks had identified the most likely spots on the surface that could have been sarlaccs.
“How long do you think it will take?”
“Who knows. An alpha predator that preys on sedentary creatures...literally dug into the ground that grows to immense sizes. All I know is what it supposedly can do. Something that hunts prey dug into the ground...there must be a lot of sarlaccs to keep an entire species going. Makes one wonder what on that planet keeps the sarlaccs alive. It is possible everything is a space fantasy, or terror...of those caught in space too long. If true however...and we can exploit it...it has potentials to open up some interesting possibilities.”
A subaltern looked up from the communications choir.
“Sir, one of the creatures has been sighted.”
“Set course immediately! It may not be much of a wait after all!”
The matalok quickly dove for the surface for the coordinates.
Upon arriving over the sarlacc the crew of the matalok found a large worm eating its way through a sarlacc. The worm seemed to be slowly working through the sarlacc, happily eating away, though not in any hurry.
“Maybe it eats and sleeps and eats some more, taking months or years to eat through a sarlacc?”
“A distinct possibility captain. Regardless, let us retrieve it. Dovin basal operators, drag that worm out.”
The worm shifted slightly as the dovin basals reached down and got a grip. The worm reacted violently and suddenly molten material started pouring into the sarlacc pit from the inside and the gouka dragon seemed to lunge downwards into the ground, quickly pulling itself out of the grip of the dovin basals and disappeared into the ground. A gout of molten material fountained up into the air towards the ship before the dovin basal operators got their charges to stop pulling, the molten rock dropping back to the ground.
Esthh stared for a moment as the hole continued to fill with molten material for a few more moments before the motion stopped and there was nothing left but a cauldron of glowing liquid rock. He walked over to the dovin basal operators polyps.
“It was very informative, and I do not blame you for the creatures loss. It was very informative. Next time however, rip the creature in half if you must.” He turned to the captain and first officer. “Wait for the next one, and be sure to get a usable creature or corpse.”
It took nearly a week before another gouka dragon was detected, this time the dovin basal operators didn’t hold back. Being an apex predator and having little to fear from flying things, the gouka dragon never noticed its attacker before it was yanked from the dying hulk of the sarlacc. It wasnt a particularly large specimen, but hazardous nonetheless. None of the biots that were readily available could handle the heat generated by a creature...well, perhaps the insides of a yaret-kor, but the insides of a yaret-kor were supposed to stay inside. The solution was simple. The matalok slowly rose until the creature died, held at a safe distance until the cold and slow loss of pressure killed the creature. Even then samples were taken from ships without bringing the creature onboard until it was certain that it was dead and was not coming back to life.
The Vong stayed on Aargonar until they had four more samples, taking another two weeks to gain the samples between the two mataloks. When they had their samples, they climbed into space, and leapt into hyperspace.

Kwenn Space Station - Kwenn - Edge of Hutt Space in the Mid Rim
The shipyards had released the Dewback-class Pleasure Yacht into Buf's care, and now the finishing touches were being completed to turn it properly into The Beskar Bes'uliik. Dining areas were being populated with tables and chairs, all manner of dining ware was being stockpiled, kitchen equipment was being installed. A cacophony of workers were milling about under the direction of Buf himself, with the Chef ensuring proper placement and adherence to his design plans. Transports were also bringing over more Bantha-II Cargo Skiff's that had been designed and custom built to Buf's specifications to mimic the original Sid Lid Sizzler, which Buf had custom built by hand. Now Ubrikkian was building them in a standard design, allowing better integration and use of space. Buf's dream was drawing ever closer to reality

Kor Desilijic, Hutt Space.
A matalok dropped out of hyperspace and moved into a high orbit.
Kor Desilijic, home of the Desilijic kajidic of Hutts, a planet of rocky mountains lending their valley’s to swamps. During the Yuuzhan Vong war it was one of the planets in Hutt space that had not fallen to the Vong in retaliation for their double dealings. Unfortunately for Esthh, the commanders then had not been interested in collecting specimens, other than perhaps squeezing oil from the Hutt’s bodies and frying food in it, which according to rumor was quite tasty. It also meant that the Hutts were not very big fans of the Vong. This planet however, since it never fell to the Yuuzhan Vong left it as a main hub of trade and illicit items. It was a puzzle that Esthh had pondered this problem and how to go about it. Finally he decided to go as himself, and bring something that the Hutt’s might like, and if not, then he would acquire them.
A blast boulder and a quartet of coralskippers slipped down into the atmosphere towards the Rasmal Valley Palace complex. They were met with a number of guards at the landing port, Nikto, Klatoonians, and Gamorreans, even a few Rodians. Esthh stepped out in full armor, along with his guard, loaded down in weapons and splendor, there were times to stay subtle, and times to make a show, this was show time.
“Take me to your leader. We have business to discuss.”
The guards turned, already having orders, and escorted them into the presence of an immense hutt with some hair on his head in an opulent room with a number of other hutts, all with some kind of hair, all on their own hover beds, or barges depending on their size. Esthh could see why so much hutt oil had been made of other clans.
“Present yourself Vong! I have little time and little patience for your kind! It would please me as much to have you flayed alive as it would to speak with you,” the large hutt rumbled.
“I am Esthh Krazhmir,” started Esthh. “And I am here to do business with you. I am in the market for a number of creatures, and instead of skulking around hidden, I am here in your presence, and I am certain we can come to an understanding which will be mutually beneficial.”
“I would hope that it would be more helpful for me. Your ship is not so large and powerful that I cannot have it destroyed.”
Esthh nodded his head.
“That is true, however you don’t know what I have brought with me to the planet, nor what my matalok might be carrying that can be unleashed upon this planet. There are planets that were wiped out with a single unstoppable strike. Something that would be mutually destructive, but that will not bring my people peace, and it will not bring you any profits. Quite the opposite. I want things, and you want things.”
The giant slug glowered at Esthh but was too shrewd to ignore the points.
“What kind of deal are you offering me?” rumbled the hutt.
“Clan Desilijic is famous for its entertainment, the stadium can even be seen from orbit with a keen eye without enhancement. I am willing to trade a number of beasts for your audiences delight, and your credit coffers. In exchange, I have a number of creatures that I wish to have, they are common enough and can find them elsewhere, but this is simply time savings for me. Do we have a preliminary deal?”
The hutt laughed. “Zoo for a zoo? I wonder if you can survive my price! What animals are you desiring, and then we will see what I want for them.”
Esthh started naming off species.
“Translucent clam, Herabe, Winged Xendrite, Ubese Thorn-backed war dragon, Q’inthian membrane, Simoomian Sensory Hounds, Hssiss, Albek, Adar, Nashtah Hounds, Flapdragon, Kwazel Maw, Egoa tree, and Kintran Striders. Enough of each for a genetically stable population. I am offering a few species. Eight gundarks, and six nexu.”
The hutt responded almost immediately.
“That is a long list for such a small return. You will have to do better than that. If you want that much I shall need more. Partially on good will and past crimes against the hutts. I want two rancor, two zakkeg, and two greater krayt dragon.”
Esthh considered for a moment before countering.
“For those I also want Vhork, Tailring, and Qormot.”
The hutt chuckled. “Oh no my Yuuzhan Vong, it is not that simple. If we keep adding, then I keep adding. I want a geonosian hydra.”
Esthh countered.
“If you want to up the deal I want 100 Verpine, two complete sets of Bartokk assassins with fertile queens, Vesuvague Trees, megonite moss, a number of Kintan Crushers, and not less than 100 Givin of both sexes. I will also put Dwarf Rathtar on the table.”
The hutt raised an eyebrow at him and Esthh knew he had him.
“Now we are talking about sentients.”
“Nothing that the Hutts nor the Yuuzhan Vong have dealt in before, and continue to do so.”
The hutt considered for a moment.[font color="4deb2d"]“No bartokk.”[/font]
“Then no rathtar.”
“You drive a hard bargain,” grumbled the hutt.
“You are hoping that I am killed retrieving your pets,” Esthh replied. “I am not unaware of the dangers of these creatures.”
“I have every trust in your warrior abilities to retrieve them.” The hutt paused for a moment, thinking. “Very well. All that you have named in exchange for what what you have offered. I also want a Tyrant Rancor.”
“In the numbers that I asked for.”
“Agreed. Good luck Vong! You will need it!” The great hutt chortled. It wasnt on his conscience if the Vong died, he would be quite happy. If he delivered though, he would have some great shows and make a fortune on the wagers.
“It is a deal. I will hold you to it.” Esthh turned and walked away, ignoring the looks that were sliced in his direction.
It didn’t take long to get back to the transport and head back to the matalok in orbit as he started laying plans for the creatures that he had to capture.
Shortly after the Matalok jumps to hyperspace.

Kor Desilijic, Hutt Space
A matalok dropped out of hyperspace and moved towards the planet. The ship seemed a bit odd, as if it had a number of large pods attached to its outsides, and in fact this was the case, and one reason why the living ship entered the atmosphere under much more controlled conditions than normal. After entering atmosphere the matalok launched a transport that headed down to the Rasmal Valley Palace complex.
The transport landed and Esthh strode out with a shaper trailing and a pair of warriors following in formation. Unlike last time the Gamorrean and Nikto guards escorted him to the throne room without complaint, even if they did not leave off the hostile looks.
Esthh entered to a cacophony of music, laughter, movement, and all the trappings of a proper Hutt throne room, unlike what one might normally call to mind of dingy and dark, this was bright and various precious material streamers in a dazzling array of colors and patterns streamed in an artificial wind.
“Welcome commander,” bellowed the Hutt from the dias. “I see you are still alive. Have you brought me your part of the zoo?”
Esthh walked up to within a few feet of the giant slug.
“I have indeed. Have you gathered your part of the deal?”
“You pain me, what kind of business would I be running if I could not deliver?”
“I will have my shaper begin examining the specimens.”
“Of course,” the Hutt indicated a pair of guards to lead the shaper to where the animals and plants were being kept.
“I have another proposition for you.”
The Hutt gave him a look.
“Oh you do? What proposition is this?”
“I have a few things for sale.”
The Hutt leaned back.
“Going into the trading business so quickly I see. Well then, entertain me.”
“I have a hragscythe for sale, and I want 500 million credits for it.”
The Hutt raised an eyebrow.
“That is quite the specimen, but 500 million is too much I am afraid. It is more than four star destroyers! I will offer 100 million.” A hragscythe was not something to be sneered at, and it would be an incredible addition, if he pitted it against the two Greater Krayt Dragons...he would make a fortune in the betting alone, let alone selling tickets to such an event.
Esthh shook his head.
“500 million. Everyone has star destroyers, who has a hragscythe? For another 500 million, I will throw in the gorog.”
That brought the Hutt up short.
“You have a hragscythe...and a gorog.”
“Indeed. I believe that the tourism alone would pay back the investment in a year, aside from any gladiatorial events. If every person on the planet came and paid just five credits one time in a year, not counting off worlders, you would repay your investment several times over.”
“You bargain like a merchantmen commander, I commend you for how quickly you pick up the trade.”
“If you want to make credits, the rarer, the higher the rewards. Do we have a deal?”
“We do. Come, let us see these new creatures!” The great Hutt’s dais lifted from the floor and started floating towards the entrance.
Esthh walked beside the hutt with his warriors following along immediately behind him.
Outside on a viewing platform the group viewed the matalok slowly dropping down over the great arena. Esthh ordered the creatures dropped off from the matalok in their carry husks and the matalok disgorged Chazrach pulling living cages of dangerous predators from the matalok’s holds. The creatures who were not sedated gave quite a show of being ferocious and loud.
Side doors opened and Nikto and Gamorreans started pushing and hauling crates full of other creatures and plants towards the matalok. Esthh saw the shaper checking over the animals and plants as each was hauled out, before approving them to be loaded onboard the matalok.
They watched for a few more minutes before Esthh turned to the hutt and pulled something from his pouch and tossed it to the hutt. The hutt startled, caught it in his hands as his guards scrambled belatedly. The Hutt threw up a hand to stop them as he looked at the sphere in his hand. A krayt dragon pearl, a large one, one that likely only came from a Greater Krayt Dragon. Easily worth 250,000 credits or more. He marveled at it in the light before looking at Esthh.
“How much will this cost me Vong?”
“Nothing. A bonus. The other two I have will cost you a million credits. One is twice the size of that one, and the other is a third larger still.”
The Hutt looked down at the blue pearl in his hands, the thing was the size of a large fruit. He laughed, deep and at least to Esthh, seemed almost choking.
“I like you commander, you play a fun game, even if it does take my credits. I will admit that you have drawn me in on this one. Next time though, next time. Agreed. An additional five hundred thousand credits! I hope you spend it all quickly and return to me. A shame that your fellows during the war were not so open to business. It would have been much more profitable.”
“Perhaps. Perhaps. I have things to attend to. When the credits are delivered I shall be going. Good day and happy gladiator events.” Esthh turned and strode off, telling his transport to head over to the matalok. It took a number of hours for the shapers to sort through all of the animals and plants that were delivered by the Hutt. Long enough for the hutt’s guards to deliver several small chests of credits that were checked before being loaded aboard the matalok. Esthh didn’t feel like getting double crossed by the Hutt. After all the Yuuzhan Vong had made no secret about pressing some of his distant relations into edible oil.
With the sun starting to set on the hutt planet, the matalok lifted off and climbed once again into the cold of space, holds full of creatures and plants.

Sentinel-class shuttle, Defiant - Cockpit. . . The view as usual from the cockpit was mesmerizing to him, and he kept checking the consoles to make sure that everything was okay. He was also certain with the recent mishap that happened to Elika, and Lucy, well at least they were all together. We are currently traveling in hyperspace, and it should take us two days to getting to Hapes Forcias informed everyone in the ship. Muting the comms and removing the headset, Forcias leaned back, he was grateful that Andros had visited them earlier, and had even given them some water. "You being here, is your brother even aware?" Asked Forcias with an arched eyebrow, as from the looks of it, it seemed that another commanding officer was away from Umgul which rarely happened honestly. Laughing though humorlessly, "No, I had to clear this with the higher ups." Definitely unconcerned truly as there was one thing about her brother, Honoros did talk back to Mace, at least, to Ayla sometimes, but Mace, not so much, not since she had been fully healed as well and Honoros no longer had any grounds for concern whenever Mace used her powers fully now . . . "Well glad you are here, and I am also sure that Luce is glad too, once she is awake and realizes that you are actually here . . ." Laughing, he and Horsea just talked, at least they weren't in the way of the people there in the main hull, and just kept conversing peacefully despite the reason of why they were also both here.

Sentinel-class shuttle, Defiant - Main Hull
"He is pretty cool, Saoirse agrees with Brion, and then nods when he says he may take her and Mahela up on the offer to be stewardesses later on. Nodding when Brion asks if her training to be a Jedi is a recent development, Saoirse tells him, looking up as she thinks back on how long it has been since she found out she was Force Sensitive, Maybe about a week or so? Smiling as she remembers how she first met Atlantis, Saoirse explains, If he wasn't a Limmie fan, I might never have learned I was Force Sensitive at all."
Nodding when Brion hands her his datapad after bringing up the holonet page of his lawfirm, Saoirse looks at the images and even tries for a minute to make sense of the names that accompany the pictures of the partners and other lawyers but her dyslexia makes the letters in the words and names seem to switch around constantly or makes the letters look like meaningless smudges and blurs. Saoirse is about to just hand the datapad back to Brion, but he is talking with Atlantis and so she decides to wait until they are done speaking.
Mahela, knowing that Saoirse can often struggle with reading, quietly asks her friend, "Can I see that?" Saoirse has developed strategies to deal with her ADHD and dyslexia so effectively that most of her professors do not even know that she has any learning difficulties, but reading has always been her biggest challenge since it can take so long for her to use the tricks or strategies she has leaned to make reading possible. As Brion and Atlantis talk Mahela reads the names of the lawyers and partners out for Saoirse and then hands the datapad back to her.
"Thanks, Saoirse tells Mahela with a grateful smile, glad that she can now at least match names to faces for the lawyers, and then tells Brion, Thanks, when he and Atlantis have finished talking, grinning as she hands him the datapad and says, Your holonetpage is like looking through a modeling agency catalogue."

Lana had lifted her finger to indicate to give her a moment since she had noticed that her Shakal might have been worried about the Hyperspace jump, perhaps. "I will, once we are in hyperspace, like I have said, I am staying by your side." Smiling knowingly, Lana squeezed Elika's hand, and when Forcias had announced that they were going to be jumping into hyperspace, Lana just kissed her Shakal's lips to soothe her nerves, but also alleviate her concerns overall.
Upon hearing Forcias again speaking, Lana pulled her head back and smiled. "I know you will be fine, my Shakal." Winking playfully and noticing that Karamel had approached them and mainly Elika, Lana looked at the feline and scratched her head. "Keep her company and watch over her for me, okay?" Lana spoke in Hapan to the feline knowing that Karamel could understand her all the same as well, since her parents were also both Hapans in any case.
Standing up from her seat and smiling, Lana turned to look at her her brother was, and obviously with Lindsay, though the lawyers seemed to be well in their research, but before that, she looked at her brother with a smile. "Do what you need to do, Kai, rest first, and then we can talk later if you want."
Placing a hand on her brother's shoulder, and giving it a faint squeeze, Lana looked at Lindsay before smiling, then went to sit down in the lounge area where the lawyers were but still at least she was afforded a view to keep an eye on her girlfriend if she needed, though the fact that Andros had also returned, that would certainly also soothe the architect's nerves. "Is there anything you wish to know about Hapes in general?"

It honestly wasn't foreign to him at all, the people from Honoghr that were here, he had already met them a while back, in this case though, Brion Hunter, and Andrea Strange were the ones he had not met yet until now at least, but he did know about them. After all Atlantis was also, even often interested in whatever his girlfriend would tell him, share with him. He knew that to Crystal, the Strange sisters, there were three of them, and their cousins were very important, not just to her but also Ljiljana, since they all grew up together.
And then there was also that other thing that Stefanie and Crystal were once lovers, and even engaged, but even seeing them together now, Atlantis wasn't jealous nor was he worried since he had no reasons to be. There were other stories he had heard, even gossips, of course, but he would definitely keep everything to himself. Glancing over to where the lawyers, but also Crystal and even Lana had gathered after Nash had come back from the cockpit before the jump into hyperspace, Atlantis nodded just actually seeing them in their element too, and he was certain that they would also want to catch up in any case.
"Individually, I know they are all great at what they do, but together, well..." Atlantis smiled knowingly, there was nothing more to add about that, though concerning the pilots, Atlantis did nod. "The Kiffars, at least the male, with certainty I can definitely tell you he is the pilot, and one of the best ones I know of, his name is Forcias and the other one with him, Horsea, I think she is more of a copilot really, the other pilot who is catching on some sleep. Umgul Defense Force pilot, that would be Lucine." He informed Brion, Atlantis figured that at least the lawyer would know that they were still in good hands, plus he seemed to be concerned about his coworker.
Everyone here, at least all of them one way or another were here for the Hapan siblings, Saoirse and Mahela, the both who weren't ever aware of anything to begin with, Atlantis just took them both with him for reasons that had nothing to do with the Chume'doro.
Hearing Saoirse after she handed the datapad back to the lawyer, Atlantis laughed in amusement looking at Brion. "Well, there are some of the models," Atlantis playfully said as he nudged Saoirse towards where the lawyers seemed to be gathered. "If Lily heard you, you best believe that she will be laughing." Though he wouldn't be surprised also if Brion laughed honestly, for he did know his Senior partner and time and time again, he was told that Kassidy and Ljiljana could be twins separated at birth...

"Limmie player? Sweet, I love that game, I play it on the console though with the guys, though would be cool to have a game, you and I if we can?" Brion's eyes did light up, and he was pretty psyched about it if that were even possible in Hapes, maybe, he hoped though he was actually feeling pretty bummed for her since he figured with Atlantis approaching her that meant she had to stop playing? "While for sure it's cool that he found you, but that must have also been a bummer to stop playing, no?" Though he supposed that at least she'd be trained in the Force and maybe that opened up new possibilities for her too. Also not wanting to make Mahela feel left out, he did look at her with interest.
"You play too?" Tilting his head on the side curiously he was truly interested, although if she wasn't a player, he still said. "Or you two just linked up at Uni because you share a similar field, or something?" When he had handed his datapad to Saoirse, and then Mahela took it, though before he could even say something more, maybe a joke about the holonetpage of the lawfirm, his attention was soon turned towards Atlantis.
Nodding, exactly understanding what Atlantis meant when they were all together, Brion could not help but to actually glance in their direction, he even smiled with pride. "Yeah, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with when altogether, too bad that some are missing..." He was definitely thinking mainly about Kase and even Reggie, since they all grew up together in a sense with Stef, Andie, Linds, and like they often said, at least him, Nash, and Stephen they were the arm candies of the ladies. "That's cool that Leed can get some rest and can be subbed in by any of the ones you have mentioned."
Taking his datapad back from Saoirse with a smile when she thanked him, Brion soon pursed his lips before bursting out into laughter, and he was pretty sure that everyone heard that, controlling himself, he turned to look at the lawyers there. "Yo! The lawfirm's holopage is like a modeling agency catalogue!" Laughing again lifting both of his hands in the air, he looked at the Zabrak and chuckled. "Uh, I guess we can take that." Looking over the lawyers, "I mean, we got called worst, what was is the last time, like a dating agency or something like that?" Pursing his lips again and trying to control his laughter, Brion lifting his hand again and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, all alluring people for sure, especially the ladies honestly, they bring all the people in the yard." Brion just looked at Andie and winked at her teasingly.

When Lana scratched her head, Karamel purred contently and meowed softly as if replying to her auntie, before moving her paw down from Elika's leg and just rested her head on Elika's lap with another happy and content purr . . .
Nash who had looked over the feline who was about 24inches tall on her legs just smiled before noticing his sister walking in his direction. Nodding, and thanking her with blinking once, Nash looked back at his Childao and pecked her lips. "Gonna freshen up and get changed, I'll be right back." Since from Forcias they had now entered hyperspace and were well on the way to Hapes, at least.
But before going to the cabin he shared with Linds, Nash walked over to Elika and grabbed something from his pocket and handed the treat to her with a playful expression which perked up Mel. "No, not now, just be adorable, and maybe she'll give it to you." Laughing softly and petting the feline, Nash looked at his sister's girlfriend with a peaceful expression. "Myself or Lindsay can understand Mel, so if she is being fussy, just ask one of us. But I'll be right back, and then we can maybe talk a bit more?"
Definitely her choice, he didn't want to impose at all, plus it was a long way to Hapes, and right now he just wanted to go freshen up and get out of his uniform and be in comfortable clothes, which was what he did as he went over to his cabin, and actually did freshen up and wore much more comfortable clothes . . . Rubbing his temple, and just taking a deep breath, he finally walked out of the cabin only to hear Hunter laughing and something about the lawfirm's holonet page and the alluring women.
Shaking his head in amusement, Nash walked over towards the lawyers, and asked "Are you hungry?" Before actually looking at everyone. "You all hungry? Because there is a galley that is fully stocked, and I am sure that I can whip up something for everyone."

Sounds like we are jumping in hyperspace soon ... Not really too fussed about it truly, since I am in good company, even if it's for this complicated matter. I do look at Sweet Cheeks when she informs me that even her man does not even talk about Hapes that much, or actually never talked about Hapes that much. Sounds about right too, the Hapan Bombshell is the same.
Smiling when Lana actually joins us, before I could even ask anything about Hapes right about now, I hear PJ's voice calling out to the lawyers here though it concerns the holonet page, which honestly does made make me laugh. Putting Linds' datapad down close to her vicinity, I focus my attention on the one I have been referring to as Payne Junior ... "Dating service? Laughing and shaking my head, I actually do not even need to check the lawfirm's page because I am quite familiar by it. Reggie and Kase still running their polls in the lawfirm, or someone else actually helms those?"
Ah those polls, which reminds me, I should be placing a bet soon ... Speaking of my Tropical Hotness, I might be wanting to talk to her about something soon, but that will come much, much later, hopefully when we get to Honoghr, but right now, seems like that the Hapan Stud has come back and looks all freshened up. "Nuh uh, Hapan Stud, you sit your ass down, relax, you have been piloting since Honoghr apparently, so just sit by your sis or your babe, one of us will handle the cooking." Which obviously won't be me, because I suck in the kitchen ... Though not that bad, I am sure that I can handle the cooking, but I'll definitely need some help there with all the mouths to feed.
Actually come to think of it, we haven't eaten since that morning in Umgul, right, we only had breakfast ... "You are definitely going to help me out there, right Baby Girl?" Eyes wide, and probably begging there, or even Lover Boy could assist, I know he knows how to cook. Oh crap why did I even open my mouth there ... Placing my hand on my forehead I end up groaning in annoyance.

Saoirse grins when Atlantis points out where some of the lawyers that are all attractive enough to be supermodels are sitting and says that Lily would have laughed had she heard the comment about their holonet page, asking him teasingly, "Laughing because it's true, right?"
Nodding when Brion asks if they might play some Limmie together, Saoirse smiles and says, "Sure, I like to play any chance I can get, and then shakes her head when he says it must have been a bummer to have to stop playing after her Force sensitivity had been discovered, telling him, Kind of, but some of the younglings and Crystal's brother, Ryan, play every now and then so I still get to play, chuckling as she says, and it's especially fun since I'm not the only one using the Force during the games now." Having always loved playing Limmie for the the sheer joy of it rather than to win or compete, Saorise sometimes finds playing with Ryan and the younglings just for fun even more rewarding than she had found playing on Umgul U's team, seeing how happy the younglings are and how much they enjoy the games better than any trophies or accolades she had received before.
Shaking her head, Mahela tells Brion in her soft voice, "No, I'm not an athlete at all really, not feeling up to explaining that while she had run track in high school, some negative experiences after she began transitioning have led to her sticking to University extra curricular pursuits like speech and debate or Dejarik where gender identity is seldom, if ever, an issue, and smiling as she goes on instead to a far less unpleasant topic for her, We met in an Introduction to Psychology course during our Freshman year, and became study buddies, best friends and roommates not long after that."
"Yep, Saoirse agrees with her bestie, putting an arm around the Togruta's shoulders as she tells grins and tells Brion, She's a bit of a gamer chick, so if ya brought your console or have a holochess table on board and need an opponent I may be able to spare her for awhile, and then laughs when he says the ladies in his lawfirm are especially alluring, grinning as she asks him teasingly since she is pretty sure he is well aware of how attractive he and all the other guys in the firm are, You're just saying that to fish for compliments, aren't ya?"
Mahela laughs as she listens to Lily telling Nash to sit down since he piloted the shuttle all the way from Honoghr and should probably be resting rather than offering to cook for everyone. Nudging Saoirse with her hip to get her attention, Mahela smiles as she tells Lily, "We'd be happy to give you a hand with the cooking too if you need any extra help."

Prior the jump in hyperspace, Crystal had looked at Stefanie, knowing exactly how the dark haired lawyer tended to be when she was focused on a case. It was never a bad thing at all, but Crystal also knew that she needed to put that aside for now, and probably just look at it with fresh eyes, and perhaps even talk with the Hapan siblings. Maybe Stefanie, or anyone here could find something here. Crystal was just hopeful that a way would be found.
She also did mention that she missed Rianne Strange, and totally could not wait to see her face to face soon, and hopefully that will happen. She was certain that would happen, which actually made her smile, and even what Lindsay had said about Karamel, well definitely not surprised at all about the feline.
Though she had looked at the AG with a dubious gaze, if Andros had a joker up his sleeve, Crystal did not know, though yes the fact that Horsea was here too, actually no clue still which was why Crystal just looked at Lily with a faint shrug before glancing at Andros as if to tell her to just ask.
The modeling catalogue, that definitely got Crystal to laugh, and she welcomed the laughter wholeheartedly, and just rolled her eyes playfully, "She is not wrong about your holopage." Crystal told the lawyers with a playful wink, then again from memory, it had always been like that even before in New Alderaan and even in Coruscant, especially when they were all together. Those were happy times, and right now seemed like she was being enlisted to cook.
"And as you can tell, Lily still sucks in the kitchen." Crystal said with a laughter before standing up from her seat, "Lily is right, just rest Nash, we'll go cook." Looking over Mahela and Saoirse with a smile, Crystal inclined her head with a grateful smile. Before heading to the galley though, she looked at the people present in here, and remembered both of the Kiffars in the cockpit, then there was also Lucine who was probably sleeping and started to think about what she could make, though she figured that she should first check what the choices where.
"Come along Jankovic," Pulling one of her childhood friend up and waiting for Saoirse and Mahela, Crystal looked at the two besties as they navigated towards the kitchen. "Mahela, Saoirse, this is Ljiljana or Lily. Lily, Mahela, and Saoirse." Crystal introduced them before entering the galley
Sentinel-class shuttle, Defiant - Galley
Smiling, at least it was spacious enough, and had everything to make a meal, Crystal checked into the pantry and even conservator, and grabbed some ingredients, cheese and sauce plus the crust. "Pizzas might do." Crystal tilted her head side to side and washed her hands explaining her plan to them and how to make them though she wasn't fussed at all, on however they presented it, she just made the sauce made sure it was tasty and even grabbed some meat to put on top and anything else that would make it more filling and palatable.
"By the way, I hope thusfar you are not regretting coming along with Atlantis." Crystal said to both Mahela and Saoirse, sure she had briefly clued them in earlier on why they were making the trip to Hapes, but also since they were here, maybe they had some questions too, which Crystal would gladly answer to the best of her abilities.

Tugging Mahela along to the galley after Crystal invites them to help with the cooking, Saoirse grins as she tells Lily cheerfully, using the shortened version of her name since she isn't sure she wouldn't butcher her full name, "Nice to meet you, Lily!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ljiljana, Mahela says in her soft voice, chuckling as Saoirse calls her a showoff teasingly. As they start following Crystal's instructions and making the dough for the pizzas, Mahela smiles and says, We're not regretting it at all, no, and then admits, Though I am not exactly clear on why we're going to Hapes yet. Grandmaster Vyridian said that a part of the reason was political, so am I right in assuming that Lana is not happy about being recalled to duty?"
Saoirse, entertaining herself by making pizza people instead of the more traditional circle and square shapes that Mahela sticks to, adds a few questions of her own as she adds pepperoni eyes and buttons to her people shaped pizzas once the sauce and cheese have been spread over the dough, "How can we get Lana out of being recalled? It seems pretty obvious to her given the way everyone has been talking that the architect's girlfriend does not want to be a Royal Guard anymore, so she asks, Is that why all the lawyers are coming, to try and find a legal way to get her out of the Royal Guard? Using ground beef to decorate her pizza people a bit more, Saoirse asks, Have the lawyers come up with any ideas yet? Grinning as she remembers Andros intimidating Aidan, she asks, Will Andros be trying to intimidate the Queen Mother into releasing Lana? Chuckling as she remembers how effectively Andros had convinced Aidan to think about how what he says might be taken before speaking, Saoirse only half jokingly asks, He's probably our best bet of convincing the Queen to let Lana out of being a Royal Guard even if the lawyers can't make a case for it, don't you think?"

Of course, I still suck in the kitchen duh. I don't even need to hide that fact, and just shrug when Baby Girl mentions it, I totally am fine with not having any interests in cooking, but since I did offer originally well I need some help at least. And thankfully even the Zabrak and Togruta offered which made me smile at them ...
Now that we are here, I figure I would just shape the dough differently, heart, circle yes, and square. Any other day, maybe I would just do other funny shapes, but this is me being PG ... I am glad to have been introduced to these two besties, and just smile at them both in a friendly manner, and figured that Crystal would get the conversation started, though it does make me chuckle that Mahela referred to Lover Boy by his official title. "Just call Lover Boy by his name, sweetie, I begin to tell her with a wink before explaining. Atlantis is not big on title from what I do know. Though I still glance at Baby Girl so she can confirm, but I am pretty sure that I have that right. Though listening to both of the friends about this whole Hapes trip, well ... It's actually far more complicated than that."
Oh boy yep ... Though I cannot help but to smile when Saoirse has mentioned Boss Man. "I see you have met Andros already before now. Grinning knowingly, and the whole intimidation, actually that is not really Andros honestly, not how I know him. Quick run down, before yesterday, we weren't even aware that Delaana was, or is a Hapan Royal Guard, Waving my hand to let them know that I am sure that I have confused them even more, that I know, I just carry on. Lana and her brother are apparently both Chume'doro, but then left when there wasn't any QM before, but now apparently an heir has been found, but also Lana had been found because of her search for Elikapeka in the last three years ..."
Moving onto the next dough and decorating it with some toppings after shaping it into a circle, I just look at Baby Girl with a knowing glance. "In a sense though, it's not really political truly, because I don't think he is here acting as Vice Governor, at least I do not think so, but because he deeply cares like us for Elika, we are here to support her, and her girlfriend and will see if she can be released. The lawyers are pretty much doing the same thing for Nash, because Lindsay is with him, again we weren't even aware that they would also be here also I admit with a grin before passing along the pizzas to Baby Girl that she was going to just put in the oven I suppose. But when you love someone, you just do not let them go without a fight, so we'll have to see the terrain first and observe, and maybe a solution will come to us once we are there."

Whenever one of them where done with decorating the pizzas they were making, Crystal would put them aside and would check if there was enough sauce or anything else, that she would keep topping up whenever it was necessary. She was also paying attention to the questions, it truly was more complicated than that, and she was thankfully that Lily was here also to fill them in. Though about the Grandmaster part, Crystal did concur to what her childhood friend said and just smiled knowingly. "She is right, Atlantis won't be offended at all when you call him by his name, he prefers it that way, though I am certain that when he is at the Academy, that cannot be helped, but we aren't." Crystal smiled warmly, she was sure that the Togruta knew that her boyfriend was easy going also, even if probably Mahela had not talked that much yet with him, Atlantis was simple too, selfless, though yes it went with him being a Jedi but titles and everything else, he preferred to go without those.
Just staying her tongue for the time being as Lily was talking, Crystal was just putting the made pizzas to be cooked, though she knew that all of them could not be fit inside, so she would have to do them by batches, though for now she was just silent, and just even didn't say a thing to let both Mahela and Saoirse take it all in, after a moment, Crystal did say. "Problem with that though, the Hapan Royal Guards have an oath, and it last all of their lives..." Crystal explained after sighing softly. "Elika obviously wouldn't mind at all relocating there if indeed Lana cannot be released, but that is something that Andros isn't favorable with honestly." Crystal informed them, then adding, "That I wouldn't be favorable with either, but Elika has deep feelings for Lana, and vice versa, so there is nothing much we can do but just be there for them and support them." Washing her hands, and just leaning against a nearby counter, Crystal smiled slightly and even if she accepted that, it did not mean she was truly happy with it if it had to come to that. Especially after having technically lost Elika...
"Stefanie is still looking, same for Lindsay, but one thing I do know at least, Lana, as I am not quite certain about her brother, but I would assume it's the same thing for him, though I do not think he received a visit from someone from Hapes like his sister did in Umgul yesterday, they both do not want to go back to their lives back in Hapes, not after..." Lifting both of her hands to just emphasize everything around them moreover the people that surrounded the Hapan siblings, they are loved, people care about them, and what she did know, Lana never talked much about Hapes, just like Nash it seemed from what Lindsay had said previously to Lily...
