"I never been to Correlia. Heard a lot about it though, the friend I was talking about earlier said that she might move there until the kids are old enough to go out on their own," Yevat hummed finishing her drink, she called on if the mess hall workers over, gave them a tip and stood up. She turned her head down at her sitting compatriot and smiled with a tired air to her, "I've better get some rest. I suggest you do too, if your going to be working with us then your going to need all the sleep you can get. Your new here, these idiots are going to try and see how much you can take".

A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.
This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets. -
Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

The new Hyperdrive worked like a dream, and when Alex awoke from his Trance, it was because they had reached the green marble in space that was Dantooine. Not, as the Sith was used to, because the Hyperdrive had failed again. The ship had gone dark, the lights likely having been taking offline to spare power for refrigeration. What Facade really needed wasn't constant power rerouting, it was a general set of repairs that could only be offered planetside. Before such repairs could even be done, the hull needed repaired, and the fourth engine and heat shielding brought back online. Not to mention, the immense cost in credits that repairing a Hammerhead would run up, if he could even find a friendly shipyard that still knew how to work with its old systems, a prospect which seemed as likely as Alex discovering the legendary droid planet, M4-78.
Alex's first order of business was to order the Ministry shuttle prepped for their departure. HK-51 would be accompanying him, of course, and they would be joined on this excursion by Zeek. This done, the Sith went down to the mess hall to enjoy a quick meal with his passenger before departure. He was joined by HK-51 and OOM-55, while Zeek brought along his handlers, AH-01 and -02. After explaining to the Selonian that he would be accompanying himself and HK-51 during their work on Dantooine - a prospect the Selonian did not enjoy, but did not complain - Alex was about to begin eating when his head of security moved to speak.
"Lord Alexander," OOM-55 began, "As the primary protector of your ship and all its contents, I humbly request to accompany you planetside." The Command Battle Droid, much like HK-51 and most of the other droid crew, saw Zeek more as a pet that Alex owned, rather than a sentient of equal standing. This was not a thought that the human had bothered to dismiss. Thus, the OOM head of security saw protecting the Selonian as a simple extension of protecting his master and the rest of his master's property.
"I'd rather you stay here," the Sith replied, "Should something go wrong on Facade, it wouldn't do to have the entire chain of command offship."
"Sir," the droid replied, "Perhaps then, I may offer you two of my security droids?"
"Proud interjection: I can quite easily protect our master's pet while preforming all my necessary duties," HK-51 cut in, "The services of your underlings is not necessary."
That was the end of that. AH-01 also made queries into if either it or its companion would be coming along as well. This too was turned down, HK-51 was a fully functional protocol droid as part of his cover. This included facilitating communications through means other than terminating hostilities, and his language bank, much like the GE3's, including Mandaba, native tongue of the Selonians. Zeek, for his part, understanding the conversation revolved around him even if he could not comprehend most of the words, sank lower in his chair.
"We don't know what we'll find in those ruins, so I'll want full battle preparations," Alex said to HK-51 at length, "Energy shields, grenades, mines, the works."
"Statement: Of course, master, I shall meet you at the hanger in time for departure," the droid responded, before leaving.
OOM-55, too, gave a quick salute, before departing. This left Alex and Zeek to finish their meal in relative peace - the Selonian did enjoy his fish, as AH-02 assured the Sith. Though, seeing as he spent nothing on it, the human wouldn't mind much if it had turned out fish wasn't something the fuzzy alien enjoyed. Eventually, they finished their food, and the party of four departed for the hanger. HK-51 made good on his promise to meet them there, and soon joined his master and the Selonian on board the orbital shuttle, the GE3 handlers having stepped away to give the shuttle necessary clearance.
Nobody having much of a reason to talk, the trip to the surface was both quiet and uneventful. They landed in the spaceport of the city known as Khoonda, Dantooine's only surviving major settlement - the old capital of Garang never fully recovering from Darth Malek razing it, and a more recent, but still rather old, attempt at a colony by the survivors of Eol Sha was forcibly aborted by the Imperial Navy Admiral Natasi Daala. Khoonda had been spared a similar attempt at being strangled in its crib by the legendary Jedi General Meetra Surik, who had been the one to defeat the Sith Triumvirate, Darth Nihilus among them, before disappearing into unknown space. She had left her friends, which included Visas Marr, behind to rebuild the decimated Jedi Order, and never returned.
Upon exiting the landed shuttle on Dantooine's surface, Zeek immediately grabbed HK-51's arm. It made for a rather comical image, the Selonian clinging to the assassin droid as they made their way to the attending dock officer and paid for a full week of usage. The Sith didn't imagine they would end up staying that long. There were here to unearth an old set of Rakatan ruins, their location still clearly marked on the surface of Dantooine by several standing stones, some toppled, all well worn by the ages, and a hill which had a door, likely buried, somewhere along it.
Finding said door would be no great trouble, they'd blast the mound open if they had to to get inside. The object of their quest was a Star Map, also Rakatan in origin, which would hopefully point them to the planet Volik, the last known location of the mask of Darth Nihilus. But, of course, every quest began with the first step, which, for them, was found exiting the spaceport, and stepping out into the streets of Khoonda, Selonian clinging to droid, and both following the human.

Yevay then exited the room, stretching no her arms over her head. She made it back to her courters with a loud sigh and collapsed onto the bed after taking off her sash. The Miraluka placed the fabric on the small table beside her bed and curled up into a ball in the blankets. The lights shut off when she gave the order and she slowly drifted off, setting an alarm for when they got to dantooine. Pulling a pillow over her head the Phoenix agent passed out, conscious floating in comfortable dark space.
Karina sighed softly, to be frank she was bored and there wasn't much to do on the ship now her meditation had been done and there didn't seem to be any markets of her taste which she could look at and trade with. Her mind went to curiosities and she remembered the sense from before during her free time in her resting quarters, it was very odd but it almost seemed familiar to her but she couldn't pin point it so she sighed again. Moving silently through the crowds she decided to dodge more of the rowdy phoenix agents and keep away from anyone she thought may caused trouble as she tried to find something to do.
Yevay slowly woke up when one of her colleagues knocked at her door over and over again. She unrolled herself from the blankets, flinching when her bare feet met the cooler floor. When she opened the door a sheepish looking private smiled and pushed a box into her arms, labeled with her parent's address. Closing the door she opened it and shook her head with a sigh when all that was inside was a new holopad that had a single button. She pressed it and audio started to play, her siblings asking when they would see her next and parents asking if she was okey. The news of the evacuation must have traveled fast and they had sent the package when she didn't answer them.
The Ho'Din couldn't say much about her own family, her race lived as one big community in the trees away from the destroyed ground that came from her ancestors. When she had left it hadn't been a big surprise, many left the home planet to find a new and more interesting life but there were always tales of the healers only being used, she guessed she was one of the luckier ones but she couldn't help but feel now that she would be more comfortable back in the trees with all the exotic life that she had learnt to love. The shuttle seemed bleak and dull to her now, even with all the different species around her there were so many lifeless faces that only seemed to be based around business and just going on. She gave a soft sigh as she continued through the swarm of people.
Yevay put the holopad down and got ready, finishing changing back to her robes by fixing her sash around her head. The Miraluka called her parents and explained everything was ok before venturing back out into the ship, to check on and make sure nobody was causing trouble. She moved around people with practiced ease and found herself standing on a walkway above a crowded central room. Refugees filtering in and out of the room, some staying and talking to others. She listened leaning over the walkway's railing, keeping an ear out for useful information.
