Today we find Kleto, D3, and Vayne seated in a cantina on the war ravaged world of Kothlis awaiting a contact who has information that has been deemed vital enough to send a group to provide aid.

As their are sitting there in the rather depressed atmosphere due to the fairly recent destruction that touched nearly everything, a short, perhaps about five foot tall, Bothan with what appears at first glance to be a smaller Bothan in toe along with a small squat squarish droid. However as the trio got closer it became obvious that the smaller person was in fact a female Shistavanen while it was still unclear what class of droid followed along.

The droid moved on a pair of treads taller in center than either front or rear, had a square orangish-yellow box like body that stood about two-thirds above the treads, two centrally located arms on either side with sort of flipper like hands, so definitely not a class four droid, and a pair of ocular units upon a single stalk which was also centrally located and that extend upwards making the overall height of the droid as it rolled along behind the Shistavanen to be about three and half feet making it the shortest of the three.

The not-so-obviously female not-so-obviously Shistavanen was maybe four and half feet tall, which is kind of short for her species but not unheard of. She is dressed in drab leathers that were a slightly lighter color brown than her fur and carried a satchel that was about half her size which she had tucked under one arm held on to it with the opposite hand there was a cross body strap that went up over her opposite shoulder used to help carry it as well. At her waist she wore a utility belt of the sort a technician might wear which meant, while not visible, she might be carrying one of those mini-arc welders that often got employed as weapons when the need arose. While she followed along seemingly demurely and innocuous an observant eye could tell that her eyes were constantly searching.

The final figure the Bothan that leads the trio, was an almost stark contrast to the other two. Finally dressed loose fitting functional clothing with stylized shoulder cups and various hair jewelry that made him appear rather exotic. While he walked with a purposeful and steady gate, his ears and and eyes seemed to be taking everything in as walked over. Upon arriving at the table he introduces himself, "Greetings, I am professor Gokak Nus'ose and I believe the three of you are here to render me aid is that correct?" The question was almost rhetorical but he seemed to waiting for acknowledgement none-the-less.

D3 looks at the trio with suspicion and says Hello professor, i understand our mission is of the upmost importance, but i do believe introductions are in order. My designation is D3-0R4 II Surgical droid at your service, my companions here are can introduce themselves

Kleto looks at the droid then at Gokak. Shaking his head a little My name is Kleto, your people made a great sacrifice for the Alliance. We will do what we can to help."

Vayne looks at the professor and says " I am here to complete the mission and that is all "
Jun 24, 2020 1:12 am
Gokak cocks his head quizzically at Vayne's response but then shrugs and says, "Good, good." as he sits down leaving a place for the Shistavanen to sit next to him. "Well," he begins softly and leans forward to rest on his hands such that his hands make a sort of cup around his mouth, "I am not sure how much you have been told so I will give you a brief overview before we clear out of here. I have been searching for a planet where I believe some rather significant ancient artifacts can be found and I recently acquired some hyperspace coordinates to what I believe is this lost planet. However, I have run into some difficulty, as there appears to be some others that are also interested in what I have discovered and they are not the kind of folks that take no for an answer nor are they the kind folks I would care to share this with. So through a friend of a friend of a friend of mine, I was able to contact your organization in order to get some assistance in safely getting to our destination, checking things out, and then getting back to... well... our return destination. Of course the planet is a rather big unknown as well but hopefully it will not over difficult. So are there any specific questions before we take off, I would like to get under way as soon as possible."

what type of artifacts are we talking about?
Jun 24, 2020 3:58 am
The young Shistavanen looked at the trio as she stood there in silence; her droid beeped at her saying, "Should we say hi?" causing her to look down and shake her head no as if she understood what it was saying to her. Then she looked back up at the professor and nodded her agreement to the professor's unspoken request and sat next to him at the table while the droid pull up next to her seat. She did not say anything to the group but it was fairly obvious that she looked rather uncomfortable in their presence as if trying to gauge who she could and could not trust.

Gokak looks at Kleto, "That my friend is a very good question, however, it is also a question that cannot be answered until we get there. Now keep in mind, we are talking some ancient civilization on a lost planet so obviously something rather significant that I am sure of. Still, in nutshell, we will be mostly surveying the area to ascertain what equipment will be needed for a thorough investigation of what is there."

D3 ponders for a bit and starts talking again with a flat and monotonous voice Are you sure we can trust the navigational charts that your contacts have provided?

Gokak looks at D3, "Well I have enough confidence in my information to put my own life on the line, and I am no crack pot willing to risk his life on a whim. Further if you know anything about us Bothan's you know that we always get reliable information."

OOC:
Lockheart, I want to kind of expound on our relationship a little but don't want to infringe on your thoughts. Let me know if you have any ideas other than the obvious in the ooc chat
Kleto looks at his brother. Trying to read his face but doesn't get much, it is still hard to read him after so many years apart. He then looks at Gokak Seems that if this planet is truly lost it would be fairly easy to survey without us. Is there something you are not telling us? Should we expect any Imperial entanglements on this mission?
Jun 25, 2020 5:43 pm
Gokak purses his lips a bit as if in indecision then says, "Okay well you recall I did say that I have run into some difficulty with folks that I would not care to share this with." He pauses for moment slightly rolling his eyes, "Yeah well that is why I contacted you guys, I figured if it is important enough to them to try and secure it that it would be important enough to you to make sure that they did not secure it. Soooo there might be... some Imperial entanglements. I like the way you put that by the way, entanglements. Yeah I like that word. Very good choice. So can we go now?"
Jun 26, 2020 5:23 am
Very well. Wasting time in this inadecuate cantina has rusted my servos long enough and i wish to get off before any imperials show up. said D3 while looking around cautiously

You're right D3, let's move out. Gokak, do you have transportation ready to leave right away?

Kleto, steps up from the table motioning to the others.
Jun 26, 2020 9:44 pm
"Yes I do. Outside I have a speeder and I have ship ready and waiting for my return."
Jun 30, 2020 5:56 pm
Kleto looks at his comrads and then gestures at Gokak.

After you.
OOC:
I am really trying not to monopolize the conversation please let me know if I am doing too much. Seems like we have a "strong silent" type and a droid who both just want to get down to business and the "soldier" would do a lot of the talking here and trying to keep things moving
Jun 30, 2020 6:49 pm
OOC:
Well I am hoping the others are just being the strong silent types ;) -- but the posting rate I expect is 4 times a week on average -- which means I expect everyone to have posted (or passed on posting) at least once every 2 to 3 days -- so no your not over posting if anything you are under posting ;) but its cool
Gokak nods, "Good, good, this way." He gets glances about and then heads for the cantina exit. Pausing about half way there to make sure everyone was following.

OOC:
I'm trying the same as valdatta, as in not to take away chances from other players to talk, but if it's not bad then i can manage.
D3 nods at Kleto, faces Gokak and says Lead the way Bothan, we'll be right behind you.
Jul 2, 2020 10:03 pm
OOC:
Okay that is 1 of 3 players -- are the other two still here ??

When the professor got up the young Shistavanen quickly hopped down out her chair and followed close behind with her droid rolling along close behind her.
