Lucine shrugs with a skeptical expression when Horsea expresses her belief that the Chume'doro may still be on Umgul given the emotions she had sensed from Wan; guessing from the few times that she has interacted with intelligence agents in the past that it is highly likely that the Chume'doro knew Wan had decided to return to Hapes as soon as or shortly after the decision had been made and, with her mission's objective met, had left Umgul rather than risk being ensnared in just the kind of play Horsea had been ordered by Andros to make, Lucine isn't sure what proving the Chume'doro was on Umgul will achieve no matter how definitively it is proven that she, in the final analysis, had come to Umgul and done nothing more serious than deliver a scroll to Wan, who had, after all, gone AWOL from her duties as a Royal Guard and set all the present drama in motion in the first place, but puts that in the not her problem category and keeps her thoughts to herself.
Grinning when Forcias tells her to trust the process, Lucine gives him a thumbs up and then laughs when he jokes that being around her and Horsea is enough like he imagines being on Hapes will be that he isn't worried at all, winking as she tells Horsea, "He has a point," and then waves as Horsea heads off to shower after whatever had happened at the Mist Order academy.
Arching an eyebrow incredulously when Forcias briefly sums up what had happened at the academy when he and Horsea had been called in to help with the situation, Lucine asks, "A Krayt Dragon and zombies? Are you sure, she leans up to kiss his chin affectionately as they head to her speeder, you aren't just making some of that up to impress me? Taking her datapad out of the side pocket of her flight jacket when it pings to alert her to an incoming message, Lucine reads it and smiles as she tells Foricas, The VG. I'm not needed for baby-sitting duty since the ge. . . Hekekia has her own Chume'doro and a CQC trained CFO with her the day, getting into the driver's seat of her speeder as she says, Gives us time to pack and, she winks mischievously, do whatever else we want to do with ourselves while we wait for our ride to Hapes to arrive."

Grinning at her kiss at his chin, Forcias looked at her, he supposed her could understand her skepticism. Before he could reply though, he heard her datapad and got the the passenger side of her airspeeder. "Well good thing for us then . . ." Smirking mischievously and getting inside, Forcias sat comfortably and looked at Lucy playfully. "Also, I wasn't aware that I still had to impress you." Leaning over to peck her lips, he chuckled and shook his head. "Though, I do wish I was making it up, but I wasn't at all." He told her sincerely, from the few times he had been at the Academy, he knew who was the one who shapeshifted into a Krayt Dragon, and the zombies, well he could only assume that either the one who possessed the Zabrak was a necromancer, or it was the woman that got stabbed by Horsea.
"There is a Gupin at the Academy," Explained Forcias, he figured that his girlfriend would know what a Gupin could do in any case, which was why he did not explain. "And either the dark spirit in the mask that possessed the Grandmaster's apprentice, or the woman there was the necromancer, but there truly were zombies there, and the one who shapeshifted into a Krayt Dragon handled those outside of the Academy."
It definitely wasn't an every day tale for anyone, and would totally be surprising but when it came to people attuned to the Force, sometimes crazy things did happen, but this one certainly was just altogether surprising. "As for Elikapeka having her own Chume'doro and Crystal, I am certainly not surprised that Andros just told you to stand down." Forcias actually wondered if Lucine knew that the CFO was actually attuned to the Force too, sure it wasn't public knowledge, at least not in the government building, but a few did know, he wondered if she had realized that at least or overheard some of the convos that went in that direction when she was by the architect. "You know, right? That the CFO is not just good at CQC?" Asked he dubiously.

Lucine chuckles as, while maneuvering her airspeeder over a particularly - in her opinion - slow moving hovertaxi and then then around a hoverbus, under an airspeeder choosing the wrong moment to switch lanes, and then maxing out her speed to pass yet another civvie moving too slow for her tastes, she tells Forcias with a grin, "Of course ya still have ta impress me, bae, winking as she jokes, You know how easily I get bored," and then dips under a hoverdumptruck and swerves around a swoop bike riding Ugnaught that looks terrified as she narrowly avoids colliding with him.
Continuing to pilot her airspeeder as though she is in a starfighter in the middle of a battle, Lucine nods after Forcias explains that the Krayt at the academy had been a Gupin transformed into a Krayt, and the zombies had been either the Grandmaster's possessed apprentice's doing or the chick that had been with her until getting a lightsaber through the back of the head, telling him, "Sounds like a pretty crazy day for everyone, frowning in concern as she asks, Grandmaster's apprentice and everyone else doing alright after everything?" as she thinks about how traumatizing it must have been to be possessed and for the other students to have the academy they call home come under attack from one of their own.
Starting to bob and weave through layers of traffic as she begins heading down towards her apartment, Lucine grins as she nods to confirm that she knows about Kayne's Force sensitivity, having learned about it while doing her statue thing while guarding her principle and overhearing her and Kayne talking about it, "Yup, and winks as she says, You'd be surprised by all I have learned about Hekekia and her housemates while on the job, bae, frowning playfully as she says, Too bad I can't tell you about any of it," even though she doubts Forcias has any more interest than she does in gossiping about the architect and her friends.
After setting her speeder down and heading with Forcias into their apartment, Lucine, a veteran of many trips on short notice, packs in about ten minutes - her version of packing involving opening a duffel bag and throwing a bunch of clothes and toiletries into it until she figures she has enough crap to last a week or so, Lucine waves her hands down over the duffel bag sitting on the end of their bed and says, "Done! Since they haven't eaten yet after heading to HQ in the morning, Lucine says, I'll make us something to eat, and then returns a minute later with a pair of MRE's she had collecting dust in her pantry, blows the dust off one and tosses it to Forcias as she jokes, See? I can be all domestic and crap when I want to, bae, and then plops on the bed as she tears open the wrapper on her MRE and says, Mmmm, spiceloaf and Mounder potato rice, yummy!"

Forcias wasn't bothered, or actually worried by the way she was piloting her airspeeder, plus it was just so her, which was why he wasn't even fearing for his life nor was he anxious or thinking that they would be getting in an accident. "The defensive measures of the Academy had been activated, hence why we got the alert, for the aftermath though, from what I have seen no one was harmed, at least not gravely. Though I am guessing now it'll all be about emotional pain, maybe." Said Forcias thoughtfully before sighing and looking at Lucy with a shake of his head. "Honestly also, H and I didn't stick around longer when the situation was over, Ayla just told us to move along with what Andros asked H, because the General was also there . . ."
When it came to more information about the Academy as a whole, one thing he was sure and certain of, all of them worked together to expunge the spirit entirely. "I believe that the apprentice of the Grandmaster will be just fine with how supportive all of the students are at the Academy."
That was a fact, and he felt it, although not much more to say, and perhaps it wouldn't not interest Lucine much since it was Jedi business as a whole though he grinned when of course Luce knew that Crystal was FS, and that she was more than good at CQC. "Mmm, wouldn't be surprised at all if you have learned a few more things about them. Though the CFO is actually pretty good according to Ayla, but she still keeps her affinity in the downlow ergo why no one in the government building as a whole, or even others know that she is, you know."

Getting out of the airpeeder, once they were into their apartment, quite honestly Forcias was, and could be a minimalist sort of person, and just packed up light, shirts, underwears, and pants, some toiletries of course, but that was it, he was not too troubled about this whole thing and figured that he could get whatever else he needed on location.
Chuckling when receiving the MRE, Forcias pursed his lips and just looked at her smiling. "I do can see that, and honestly." Leaning forward to kiss her neck teasingly. "I do love that you are trying." That was all there is, he pulled his head back, and he wasn't going to complain at all, plus he also was used to MRE's anyways, it was often simpler and quicker when always on the go. "You looking forward to that trip, by the way, and not because it's Hapes or whatever their customs are, but you know?"

Since Forcias had assured her that everyone at the academy was fine and well save for any PTSD some might feel after the attack and possession of one of the students, Lucine has put the matter more or less out her mind by the time they have finished packing and are digging into their MREs; while she can't exactly say she knows the Mist Order's Councilors well, Lucine does know from what she has picked up when overhearing her principle talking with the Jedi she is close to that they are all concerned about the well-being of their students as much as if not more than their training to be future Jedi, and trusts that they are up to the task of helping their students through the aftermath of the attack.
Smiling when Forcias says that he can tell she is trying to be more domesticated than she is accustomed to being after living alone for so long, appreciating the fact he has noticed her efforts, Lucine nods when asked if she is looking forward to the trip to Hapes, smiling as she says, "Yup, and explains, I mean I know it isn't exactly a vacation and all, but it will kind of be like one since I won't have to baby-sit Hekekia with all the Jedi there, and I don't figure we'll be needed much for all the political crap either, so we can just chill and sight see or whatever, then spears a piece of spiceloaf with her fork while pursing her lips and adding, Hopefully it all works out for Wan, otherwise it'll be one downer of a return trip, then shrugs as she figures there is no point worrying about something she herself has no influence over and gives Forcias a serious look as though she is about to ask an incredibly important question before pointing the piece of spiceloaf on her fork at him and asking, What kind of MRE did you get, bae?"

Figuring that it would be a quick trip in any case from the government building to here, I don't even get Crystal to start explaining anything whatsoever about what has happened in her office previously, and instead I just keep my mind focused on our current objective and that is to gather Lana's things at her apartment, so she can pack up and we'll get to see her armor too.
"First time coming here, this is a nice part of the City. It's true, it seems to be close to everything, although I suppose it can be quite crazy with all the noise, and I kind of like our spot away from the busyness of it all. Also what did the Intelligence Hottie say in Hapan earlier?"

What Lily said previously about the Deputy Director of Intelligence, Lana couldn't agree more. Even if overall she had been confused for the reason why Horsea wanted to see the scroll, when the Kiffar mentioned it was because Andros had asked her to gather some info, Lana was not sure what she would technically find for the Chume'doro weren't technically operating outside of the Consortium but with her doing things for the last three years in trying to find her Shakal, she knew that she had alerted them one way or another. Lana hated it, and she should have been more careful...
Finally they had arrived at her apartment complex and she had her arm wrapped around her Shakal's waist. Any other day, any other time, Lana would have probably smiled or teased her girlfriend for her apartment was the place they had shared more than ever. This evening though, it was different and somewhat bittersweet to her... Taking a deep breath, Lana finally opened the door to her apartment and gestured for everyone to just go inside.
Shutting the door behind her and remembering what Lily had said, Lana smiled knowingly. "It's a farewell, and it was actually what the Chume'doro said to me before departing yesterday. It means 'have a bright day without equal'." Lana translated before gesturing to the opened false wall since her Shakal did mention she wanted to see her armor, and there it was. "That's the only thing I brought with me before leaving Hapes." Although she didn't feel like she was even worthy to be wearing that at all since that armor felt like it was foreign to her.
Not really lingering on it, she walked over to her room and grabbed a duffle bag putting some of her clothes in, she lingered for a moment in the room and smiled just looking at her bed. Glancing over at her girlfriend with a faint smile, Lana took her hand in hers, "Remind me to transfer the ownership of this place to you if I have to stay there..." Although she hoped that was not the case, she wasn't sure at all, and so instead of selling this place because she did buy it a while back, she'd rather give it to her girlfriend, plus it would allow for Elika to be next to the Government building if she stayed up late there.
Not really also the kind to pack heavily, Lana just took the necessity and pretty much left most of her clothes in her closet before grabbing another sturdy box to put carefully her armor pieces in it. And while doing that for some reason she remembered what the Director said previously in the office. "Did something happen during the day that had you concerned?" Lana asked softly, for actually even if she and her boss were next to one another in the legal department, they still had their own offices, and Lana had not seen Crystal much since she figured the CFO would be busy putting things in order for the department with her coming to Hapes too.

Now that they were out of the government building, Crystal was more inclined to let herself feel and actually be aware of her surroundings altogether, and for that she was glad that Lily had decided to pilot. From what she could feel at least there was nothing going on now, but previously without even searching for it, she had felt several of the Jedi on the planet melding as one. To do what exactly, Crystal had no idea whatsoever, but at least now, everything seemed to have reverted back to normal which thankfully did not concern her much anymore. Plus Horsea did inform her that no one had been injured at least.
Stepping into Lana's apartment, and actually this was the first time she ever came here, Crystal looked at the decor and thought that it definitely suited the Hapan, there seemed to be some photography of some landscapes on the wall, plus a picture of her and her brother. Smiling and actually noticing the both of them seemingly happy, Crystal felt bad that it had come to this, to Lana being recalled, which also in a sense her brother too, hopefully all of them showing up there in Hapes to support them, it might blindside the Queen Mother.
Finally looking at Lana when she translated what Horsea had said previously, and even mentioned it was what the other Hapan, who visited Lana, had said to her before leaving, it actually got Crystal to smirk knowingly. Though her gaze landed on the armor, which seemed to be golden and intricate, it made her wonder if truly they always had to wear that back home. Saying nothing at all and giving Delika some privacy, Crystal remained in the living room with Lily and just hoped that the Hapan wouldn't be seeing this place for the last time.
"Yes, there was a disturbance in the Force, but being at the office I couldn't really figure out what." Crystal explained thoughtfully, her own doing her fault for not being ready just yet to reveal that she was attuned to the Force. "What I do know though, the Jedi seemed to have shown a united front and handled the situation with no casualties." Crystal figured that Horsea was where it all went down, therefore believed the Kiffar after she had said that no one was injured, at least seriously. "As for Horsea wanting to see your scroll, she and Mace actually by touching any objects or even people, they can acquire information from it. It's called psychometry, it's distinctive to Kiffars, some of them at least who have that innate ability." She told them knowingly, over the last three years she had learned a lot about the Force and the abilities linked to it. "It's the reason why Mace and Horsea always wear gloves, they don't like inadvertently tapping into that power." Crystal figured that she was revealing some tidbits about the Kiffars that probably wasn't revealed before to any of them, but fact was the Kiffars never truly hid things, they just did not volunteer information, which was what she had come to find out when Ayla had actually trained here, and still did from time to time.
"I suppose that Andros probably wanted some information about that Chume'doro, how she came here, or whatever. Though I am not even sure what she was looking for, maybe the person's face..." Crystal might have an inkling but even then, she wasn't at all comfortable with assuming anything which was the reason why she did not go further, and instead just looked at the Hapan seeing that she only had a duffle bag, and was just storing her armor. "Do you need help with anything else by the way?"

Forcias understood what she meant, plus indeed it would be a nice change, although the whole matriarchal thing where males were considered second class citizens, would that even apply to foreigners too? Honestly Forcias in the end couldn't care less, it's not that he was used to be considered lesser, because that was never the case at all with his friends, whom he called family and even considered like sisters, and with his girlfriend here. He never really felt threatened at all or considered to be less, he knew that they all respected him for who he was and they just liked teasing one another. Although sometimes indeed it could be difficult when he was in the presence of women and he was the only guy there.
"Hopefully indeed, because Elikapeka does deserve it." It was how he saw it, and even though he was certain that there were other solutions to make their relationship work, it was always better when individuals were permanently in the same location at least.
Finally unwrapping his MRE, he looked at it, he guessed he had worst, but he also had better, he showed it to her and chuckled. "Dehydrated vegetable protein straw." Picking one of the tube and munching on it, it was bland but that again was not a problem, he just ate it without complaining at all. "We should probably get some rest, or a goodnight sleep after this, since I don't really see us leaving tonight, or at least I hope not, and it's a long way to Hapes, and I figured Wan's brother will probably want to rest for a bit also, since he is the one coming here to pick up his sister..."
From the info that H had given him previously, apparently Delaana's brother was also a Chume'doro, but apparently he also used a different last name to avoid whatever confusion or something, and he was a lawyer in Honoghr, or is a lawyer from the lawfirm that the CFO, and AG called upon when there was that situation with the VG. Not really questioning anything further, Forcias just leaned back against the headboard and finished his MRE. "C'mon let's just get some rest, we'll be contacted anyways if we did end up leaving this evening. . ."

Umgul City Starport
After getting the flight path from control, which Nash acknowledged, he brought down the ship steadily into atmosphere and landed the shuttle without trouble whatsoever to his assigned bay. Shutting off everything after making sure that there was no hitch, he still went into checking the shit post flight to see if there was something off just in case the system did not pick it up just yet. Grabbing his datapad, Nash sighed softly before leaning back on his seat he just closed his eyes to sense his sister.
Sestra . . . Calling out to her like he had often did, and quite unaware that he was doing so before, or at least didn't even know that it was the Force, but now he knew better and he had honed some of skills in actually the Light Side of the Force in Honoghr. Finally turning on his datapad, he starting typing the message that he had arrived although he was not alone at all. An irony too he supposed since he would soon be finding out that even his sister was not going to be alone.
Standing up from his seat, Nash grabbed his bag and looked at the people who had decided to come with him. "Welcome back to some of you on this planet, and I suppose for the rest of us, it's welcome to Umgul?" Said Nash with a faint grin, he was going for humor but at the same time, his heart wasn't into it either, and he felt so guilty that he had pulled them all into this because he refused that his sister faced this alone.
Of course throughout the trip he had answered some of their questions and just gave them the reason on why he and Lana had left Hapes, and what was supposed to be temporary just became something that actually he wanted to be a permanent thing. He always despised the treatment he had there, at least before. Now with whomever the heir was of the previous Ereneda, he truly wasn't looking forward to knowing.
Finally disembarking from the shuttle after just grabbing his commlink, he waited for the ones he was with and just wrapped his arms around his Childao and held her close as if his life depended on it. "Sent a message to Lana, she knows I have arrived, although I told her that I was not alone . . ."

Elikapeka, sensing the subtle shift in her Ceesi's mood after they enter the apartment that had been where they had stepped over the threshold dividing what they had been to and felt for one another before from what they are to and feel for one another now, feels her own spirits shift in response to the change; the cautious optimism that she had felt being replaced with a more somber realization of how much their lives may change in the coming days which casts an almost melancholy light over the simple act of packing.
When Delaana points out the open false wall where her armor had been kept, Elika takes a moment to look at the suit of ornate gold and silver armor, objectively able to admire it's beauty even though she cannot help but resent what the armor represents; her Ceesi's heretofore hidden past coming back to haunt her. Elika tries to picture Dealaana in the armor, finding it difficult to picture the kind, gentle, intelligent and playful woman she has come to love wearing the armor or doing the things she assumes would have necessitated her wearing it. Elika knew when her Ceesi had told her about being summoned to Hapes that there were things about her girlfriend's past that had not been shared, facets of Delaana that had yet to be revealed, and while seeing the armor is a reminder of those things, Elika feels no less determined to stand by her Ceesi and do whatever is needed to nurture their relationship and allow it to grow.
Following Delaana into her bedroom in case she needs any help packing, Elika smiles when her girlfriend holds her hand and asks to be reminded to transfer ownership of the apartment to Elika if she needs to stay on Hapes. Kissing Delaana's hand tenderly, Eilka nods and says softly, "I will, my Ceesi," not feeling as though she needs to voice their shared hopes that they will find a way to free Delaana from her oath.
Sitting on the edge of the table as Delaana packs her armor, Elika listens to Crystal's answer to her Ceesi's question about whether something had happened earlier in the day, learning from her friend's reply that something had happened to the Mist Order's Jedi - which explains Horsea's statement about no one being injured - and also includes an explanation of what Horsea had been doing while examining the scroll, making it more clear to Elika what had been happening and why. Resting a hand on Delaana's shoulder as she finishes packing her armor up, Elika reiterates Crystal's question to add herself to the list of helpers on hand, asking, "What can we do to help you finish packing up, my Ceesi?"
Cipriani Arms Apartments
Nodding her head in agreement with Forcias' assertion that Hekekia could use a break after all that she has been through, Lucine says, "Preach, and then - more seriously as she thinks about what Forcias had shared with her about Hekekia's past and how it had appeared to have bound her fate to the fates of others that were caught up in something with a scope and history Lucy still has a hard time wrapping her head around - muses, You know, with how FATE seems to have drawn her here to Umgul along with the other players in that game you told me about, I wouldn't be surprised at all if things end up working out for Wan so that they both wind up right back here together, then frowns as she considers how that just means Hekekia is back on the board she probably doesn't even realize she is on, and then shakes her head before she goes too far down that particular rabbit hole, asking Forcias, You ever get a headache just thinking about all this stuff?"
Making a comically disgusted face when Forcias reveals which MRE he got, Lucine tells him sincerely, "Uuuuckk! Sorry bae, I'll make sure to check the labels better next time, no one likes the protein straw ones," and then nods after he suggests that they get some rest in case they wind up leaving for Hapes that evening. Gathering up their MRE wrappers and disposable utensils, Lucine puts them in the trash and then, after brushing her teeth and changing into a sleep tee that she only wears until she gets back to the bedroom, slips under the covers beside Forcias and, though she doesn't let him get the rest he wants right away, eventually falls asleep with her head resting on his chest.

Mazikeen, or Maze to those she allowed to call her that way, which was only a few, needed to stretch her legs, which was the reason why she was the first to disembark from the shuttle when it had landed.
Apple in hand and her dagger the other that she was twirling expertly had just taken a bite of her fruit and then glanced at the people she had decided to accompany, well technically she didn't care much for the reason why they were here, since it wasn't much her concern, it was a Hapan thing, those siblings apparently had pulled a fast one from Hapes back then, yadda yadda, Maze didn't pay that much attention to the explanation because...
Well she was only here as a favor to the man who remained in Honoghr, and that was Saam, and because he was with one of the lawyers here, and also because of what happened in her past, Maze was just here for protection. Plus Hapes, that should be interesting. The views were probably going to be enticing.
"Probably best not to get comfortable, since I am guessing we are waiting for your sister?" It was what she had understood, they wouldn't be technically setting a foot into the planet, or at least outside of the spaceport, which was why she just sat on the nearby crate and just ate her apple while scanning the area to see if any of those custom officers would be approaching them for whatever they needed to do.

Umgul City Starport
From his corporate suit that he had been wearing ever since their departure from Honoghr, Brion had changed into more casual clothes once they were up in the air. Previously he had just finished a case in court and had gotten that emergency alert from Leed that he needed to talk to all of us at the lawfirm.
The Senior partner he usually answered to, Kassidy Payne, had just told him to go along to at least have all of PMS' field be represented there on Hapes if necessary as apparently Stefanie, and Andrea (his girlfriend) were also going with Lindsay, since it was all about his Hapan coworker. Now, actually everything made sense about Nash, and even his sister, for the times Delaana was on Honoghr, and Nash would be requesting some time off. Brion had assumed that it was to spent some time with his sister because he found out through the vine that his sister's significant other was missing.
But now, seeing Leed in his suit, which in comparison to the business suits he usually wore back on Honoghr, that was definitely different. Umgul, they were in Umgul but they were not going to step a foot into the City, apparently it was just get here, pick up Delaana, and yep. That was how Brion got caught in a whirlwind.
"Say, Stef, this is where you got the charges dropped for my bro right?" Brion asked remembering that a few years back, the Senior lawyers of PMS had come here to represent the VG due to some allegations or whatever, and then they had come back with his fraternal twin in tow. He also knew that this planet actually housed some of their besties. Walking closer to Andie, Brion was glad that she was here too at least. Although he wished that this whole trip were under different circumstances.
That being said, Brion just like all the people he currently was with in the spaceport, was also attuned to the Force but he was no way a fighter or a warrior like Nash was, or even Mazikeen. Brion knew that Nash had handled a situation back then that concerned Lindsay, and had even stopped Kassidy from doing something, as for Mazikeen, she was currently twirling a dagger in her hand! Were there any other explanations needed there?!

Andros previously after making sure that everything was going to be running smoothly while he was away from the planet, had made sure that he was ready to go at a last moment's notice. Despite being a politician now, he still knew how to jump immediately when needed. So when he had been alerted about a certain ship named Defiant that requested a permission to land to the city, Andros just pushed the request to be granted but also to not even bother with having customs to check the ship or the occupant as it wouldn't stay on the planet long at all.
Right now he was on his way to the spaceport, with actually the Non siblings but also Horsea, he requested for the latter to come with, ergo why she was with him too currently, and he was just casually dressed for travel, and thankfully he also had his go to bag in his office which he picked up since it also already contained everything that he needed within.
Andros was listening to the Kiffar who was updating him about that other Chume'doro, she had even pulled out a holopic from immigration, apparently she had came under the name of Hanako Aoki, although there was nothing further about it but just coming here from Carida, and then leaving to Taris, although no records of her roaming the city from there. Plus with Horsea handling that scroll that their own Chume'doro had received, that was proof enough for him, and maybe he would be using that back on Hapes... Maybe.
Finally stepping out of the airspeeder, Andros had sent a message to everyone concerned on the planet that Lana's brother had arrived and he was already on his way to the spaceport with the DDI to meet up with the brother, and would be waiting for everyone there. Advancing towards the people that had just disembarked the spaceship, Andros dismissed customs who were from the looks of it were about to go do some checking. When he got there though, he actually was not surprised either that it was not only their Hapan's brother here.
"Counselors. Looks like we are not the only ones with that idea..." Andros said with a faint smirk, he at least recognized Stefanie Strange, but also Lindsay Mildhurt for having represented him a few years back, then there was Mazikeen who was shadowing Stefanie Strange back then, then there was Delaana's brother, whom he had never met, but knew about. "Nash, I presume." He nodded his chin in the Hapan's direction before looking at the other woman who he was unfamiliar with but seemed to share a bond with Stefanie. "As you might have guessed, you are not here to only pick up Delaana." After all he was here with Horsea Aestrea, some of the lawyers here already knew who the Kiffar he was with, as for the rest, well it was going to be a waiting game for now.

Walking into the Hapan Bombshell's apartment, any other day, any other time, I probably would have teased Delika since well ... This place is supposed to be a good memory for them both, and now that Gorgeous is back here ... I can only imagine what they are both thinking or even feeling, and not even commenting at all, I just end up looking around finding some landscapes and that picture that the siblings have together, all smiles. Genuinely happy from the looks of it there. Though my mind does not linger on that holopic as I look at Delaana with a grateful smile for the translation. "You'll have to teach me some phrases, or even other words. I request from here, I mean sure I do know some words here and there from Sweet Cheeks, but we were kids back then at least, and I had lost interest in learning, plus it's a tough dialect. Pretty language, but seems difficult to learn ..."
There is that possibility indeed that I am just making some small talks, and honestly better than the silence, all of us here know that this is probably the last step before our departure, since this morning all of us had packed our bags and stored there in the compartment at the back of the airspeeder. Although right now my gaze is onto Lana's armor, and while it does look pretty, I just actually cannot fathom the Hapan wearing that, even if I am sure it fits her well. I have been so used to see her either casually dressed, or for work or even in her sportwear, but to see her in that ... Makes me wonder too how much we truly do not know about her, or her past.
Giving Delika that space and not hovering there, I stay put and wonder actually how I could help here, though from the looks of it Lana doesn't seem to be taking all of her effects at all, but that matter that had been raised earlier in Crystal's office, I just look from the Hapan to my childhood friend, and just arch my eyebrow upon finding some of those news, and that Horsea and even Mace could get info from whatever they touch. Leaning something new, and I am at least glad that Baby Girl has a step into that world because that is just all foreign to me. Still silent though, at least I am not my usual playful self, I just point at both Elika and Crystal when they have asked that question, if indeed Lana needed more help with anything else. Because surely those weren't the only things she was taking with her, right?

Considering that it was going to be a long trip to Hapes, Lana had agreed to teach some words to Lily in Hapan. But currently she was just finishing her packing actually, and moreso she was listening to what Crystal was saying, about what happened around the city, or at least from the sound of it the Mist Order Jedi had a situation, and also the reason why the Director of Intelligence wanted to see the scroll that has been handed to her.
Placing her hand on top of her Shakal's that was on her shoulder, Lana actually shook her head as there was nothing more to pack, and honestly she did not care much for the rest, and she preferred to keep this place as it was instead of stripping it all of its content altogether.
"Nothing more, it's fine." She reassured all of them before hearing that familiar voice in her head, she closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief actually because her brother's presence, especially when she knew that he was close, it also felt like home so to speak. And the fact that he was here too, ready to stand with her to receive whatever punishment, that had to mean something at least. Though she guessed that maybe for her, they would be lenient, or at least hopefully, though for Nash...
She didn't even want to think about it. "Nash has arrived." She told them before hearing her datapad signaling that she had received a message. Grabbing it, she read the content and actually smiled, it appeared that a lot of people in Honoghr also cared about her brother, just like a lot of people here cared about here to the point that they were all coming. Smiling gratefully, Lana looked at them all and actually laughed. "He is not alone either..."
Looking at the women that was with her, she just smiled and figured that they would know, and just understand how grateful she was right now, and how much also she was grateful for the fact that a lot seemed to be wanting to stand by them also.

Even before Lana could say that her brother had arrived, Crystal just felt some familiar aura close by, and just wanting to make sure, she closed her eyes and raised her awareness in the Force and felt them, although one was unfamiliar to her, the other she wasn't sure it was Alex or Andie actually but whomever that was did have that familiarity to Stefanie, who was of course there, just along with Lindsay.
"Indeed he is not, and I am not surprised that they would also fight for your brother..." Crystal said knowingly before glancing at her childhood friend. "Lindsay, and Stefanie for sure I can tell you are there, and there is that one other chick that was shadowing Stef, as for the two others, one I do not know, but the other one, it's either Alex or Andie."
Knowing that at least they all had prepped themselves and put whatever they wanted to take into the airspeeder, Crystal just waited for a moment and finally informed them, "Should we start going to the spaceport, or is there something else that needs to be done before we leave? If not we should just head there, I am sure that everyone else coming will be there."
Depending on the answers, if they were all ready in fact, or needed to purchase something first, they'd get what they needed and by the end of it, there were heading to the spaceport, at least.

Cipriani Arms Apartments
Having been alerted by an incoming message that the ship from Honoghr had arrived, Forcias leaned over towards Lucy to wake her up slowly by kissing her neck. "We gotta go, sweetheart." Said Forcias before getting out of bed and actually grabbing a quick shower with Luce after she rose on her side. This time at least the shower didn't take as long as it usually would. Changing, in just his usual dark shirt and pants, Forcias just waited for her, at least they were just fast, and got them both to her airspeeder for her to pilot them towards the spaceport . . .
Umgul City Spaceport
Horsea was dressed in civvies, she had given her notice to Mace, and even Ayla that Andros had asked her to go with, and the cousins both agreed and even went as far as saying that they would handle Honoros too and whatever fall out.
The journey from the government building towards the spaceport had given her the opportunity to update Andros on what she had found, which was nothing substantial at all but at least they did have a picture of that ghost person who Lana could probably recognize anyways. Whatever the Vice Governor wanted to do with the info she had gathered, that was up to him, but when they got to the spaceport, Horsea inclined her head to the people, she knew some of them for having handled their biometrics clearance when they were here the last time, and some were new faces, except for the Major's brother at least.
Her signature, of course, was hidden, since after all she did carry her lightsaber with her, just like the other Kiffar who had just arrived with Lucine, inclining her head to both of them and just gesturing to her bag that would let them know that she was also part of the Hapes trip, at least while maybe Forcias took the relay from Nash and vice versa, at least she and Lucine could talk or whatever. But preferring to let the big shots do the talking at least, Horsea still greeted everyone from Honoghr in a friendly way before just standing aside and waiting for the others.

Umgul City Spaceport
The closer he got to the spaceport, the more he had started to sense that it was going to be a big party heading to Hapes...
And factually?
Atlantis chuckled under his breath, he could not help it, but any other situation, maybe he would have laughed wholeheartedly but it wasn't the time at all considering why they were making the trip to Hapes.
Finally parking the airspeeder in a designated spot, Atlantis opened the doors for the women and waited for them to step out before grabbing their bags to head towards where people seemed to have congregated.
Recognizing some of the lawyers, he inclined his head in their direction with a smile before noticing that one of the men seemed to be wearing an armor, that probably was Delaana's brother.
"Looks like we are waiting for the ladies." Atlantis said with an amused grin, not too bothersome to him, but he was glad that there were familiar faces indeed, and most certainly the ones from Honoghr where also going to Hapes for the same reason the people from Umgul were.
Figuring that the intro could come later, perhaps it was actually best to wait for the four women who were going to be here soon enough... Right?

Umgul City Starport
Even though she is half asleep, Lucine pilots her airspeeder just as though she would pilot a starfighter or gunship in the middle of a battle, dodging around, over or under the civvie traffic heading towards the starport, getting her and Forcias there in record time.
While she is no more awake after the flight to the starport than she had been when Forcias woke her up, Lucine still goes into security conscious mode as they arrive in the hangar bay where everyone headed to Hapes is gathering, noting the placement of things that would afford cover points in the highly unlikely event the hangar were to come under attack and observes where the various civvies and MG personnel present are standing around and chattering amongst themselves. Leaning back against a wall that gives her a clear view of all the means of ingress and egress from the hangar, Lucine unzips her khaki bomber jacket so she would have easy access to her holstered DC-17 hand blaster were she to need it, then yawns as she pushes her cap back on her head and chuckles as the scene of everyone milling around outside the ship suddenly reminds her of a platoon of troops waiting for the green light to deploy on a mission.
Spotting Hekekia as she arrives with her posse in tow shortly after the Grandmaster shows up with a Zabrak and a Togruta she assumes are students at the Mist Order's academy, Lucine nods and greets her principle dryly, "Ma'am," then gives another nod to greet the architect's posse.
"Lieutenant," Elikapeka greets her lieutenant cheerfully, amused to see that she is doing her statue routine even though with Andros, Horsea and everyone else with Force or combat skills present around and how great the odds seem to her to be against anything happening anyway it seems to Elika that there is no need for her lieutenant to be on guard.
Patting Andros on the shoulder as she stops beside him, Elika sets her bag down lets go of Delaana's hand as she had been walking beside her girlfriend when they entered the hangar, and gives him a hug as she observes in an amused tone, "Quite the turn out, huh? Spotting Nash, Elika smiles warmly and waves to greet him. Looking back over at Delaana, Elika reaches out to hold her hand as she smiles and says, It looks like your brother brought just as much backup as you have coming to support you, my Ceesi."
