Episode One: A Shadow Grows

Kadal nods at Vessi as she does her introduction.

"Not getting killed is at the top of my priorities."

He leans his head back and closes his eye, finally feeling a moment to relax.

While talking with the others, Mal powered up the holovid and began a query to see if anything new had developed with the semi-recent blockade of Corellia. The ongoing dispute was a potential powder keg waiting to ignite. Mal hoped it wouldn't come to that, but Corellia was an old powerhouse. The blockade was likely just a symbolic manuever, because to Mal's mind it sure made bad tactical sense.

Mal's focused his query on "Corellia", "blockade" and "separatist" to see what might come up.

Mal sat back in thought, turning information over and over, getting the weight of it and letting conclusions rise to the top, while still listening to the others talk. He wondered how much the others knew, how much they cared about the unfolding event on Corellia. He would wait for an appropriate break in the conversation to fill them all in.

Next he began searching for information regarding their destination: "Tyrena".

MalEveryone else

After they are safely in space and traveling, Vornu will explore every square inch of the ship. He will claim a bunk for himself and store what little gear he has there. Soon after wards he will look for the individual who seems to be proficient in Jawaese (Vessi-ki).

In Jawaese:
Greetings, know language well. Where learn.?

Tyrena is a coastal city with a lot of custom ship shops, they also are home to a flight academy known to turn out some of the best pilots in the galaxy, there are said to be all kinds of life in Tyrena as all sorts are attracted to the academy, this means though there is a larger police force here then usual.

Obrim is known for owning three custom shops, and fits out many offworld ships, originally from Nal Hutta little else is known other then he got in trouble for swoop racing back in the day.

In Jawaese "I learned the language when I was doing an investigative report on a lost ship. Unfortunately your people do not concern themselves too much with where or how old the things they scavenge are. Admirably practical they were."

"Speaking of 'practical'," Mal piped up, "This guy named Obrim looks like he's made a decent living here on Corellia customizing ships and speeders. Anyone been to Tyrena before?" Mal turned everyone in the room onto what his investigation turned up.Mal was impressed with Vessi-Ki for learning the Jawa's native language. Most being in the galaxy tended to live as if species of smaller stature were beneath notice. As a Jedi, Mal was able to get a sense of what most other common species were trying to communicate, but had not been able to learn secondary languages to the degree he would have liked to.

Maybe when I retire, he thought to himself as a wry joke.
