After cleaning herself and her weapons, Tara pulls out a small device from her pocket and looks at it.. "Well, I saw the wagons and the bodies and went over to investigate and when I realized it was the Captain.." The metal mask changes to a sad look, "I've worked for him in the past as a guard, and he was a good man. I found this device on him and it directed me in this direction.. Knowing the captain, it probably points to something of his he planted in with the cargo. So I figured I'd try to find out what happened."
She shrugs and the metal mask you notice seems to change with her emotions as she tells the story..
"Following the needle, it led me to small opening up there" she indicates the ledge above from where she jumped down onto the beetle. "When I saw you fighting them I figured I'd assist first and then ask questions later. It's kinda hard to question a bug.. well.. for me anyways."
The mask smirks, and Tara reaches up and removes her mask, then walks over to Khoren to show him the "compass" she followed. "Neat trick with the cleaning.." she says in a lower voice when she presents him the "compass" to look at.
After revealing her true identity, some of you may recognize her. I wrote short bio in the other thread.

"Hello, Tara," Khoren says, looking intently at the compass. What is this? "May I?" he sort of asks, and begins to identify the compass. Lost in thought for a moment, he catches himself and continues: "Thank you for your concern about the captain. It was a tragedy that we will all carry will us for some time. But, as you say, perhaps we can finish his work.

But, as you say, perhaps we can finish his work.You've seen these before, but this one is a much simpler device. It is a tracking receiver. It comes in pairs, usually, sometimes more. Put a tracker tag on an item and it blends into it, making it nearly invisible. The receiver device, the compass, will lock onto that tag. Usually the receiver shows things like bearing and distance though. This one....wait... what's this?
You find a tiny button and *click*, the device hums and unfolds in your hand. It shows a screen with a read out. Ah, now this you've seen. Whatever it was, it is... bearing east by south east... wait this can't be right.... it is moving.... 238, 980 miles... 238, 950... 930 miles.... 910 miles. You turn it around.... something must be off... or it is not calibrated or perhaps damaged. You find nothing wrong.
You look at the screen again and the numbers are enormous. You wonder if removing the power would reset it? One tuned, these normally did not lose the link, even when power was lost, but... this one is wonky.

"Wait, did someone say, bait!?"

(OOC: "(Han blasts console) Boring conversation anyway. Luke, we're about to have company!"
Poor things...Bait. Yui pulls her weapons out of the beetle, but before being able to clean them, hears Utazo's warning.
(whispers sarcastically ) "This group is so popular, me, beetles, Tara, and now some more! Soon this'll be the social event of the year!"
"Oh, nice to meet you, by the way." Yui smiles, but then gives Tara a small mock bow (OOC: These two females will be fighting over the most epic attacks from now on...).
Yui hurriedly wipes her weapons clean, and walking past Tara, takes a spot next to the entrance, hoping she won't be seen if the two people enter.

With some reluctance, Khoren puts the compass in his belt. He wraps his cloak around him, and takes position against the wall behind Yui, preparing himself for the bait's trap to spring.
With a wry grin, and as unobtrusively as he can manage, he uses his hedge magic to clean the gunk off of Yui's weapons.

Yui tensely waits by the entrance waiting for something to happen, although she does notice beetle eyeballs plopping off her daggers. She nods to Khoren appreciatively.

Not being the most stealthy person around, he hides further back in the room.

Tara instantly nods back to Yui's nod.. and then notices her smirk and quirks her eyebrow. ~I wonder what that smirk is all about? She seems similarly trained as I am by wearing no armor, and I saw some of her moves..~
Tara sighs and puts on her mask and places her weapon on her back.. and after seeing where Yui goes, Tara tries to move to a beneficial position so that she (Tara) will set her (Yui) up for a good first strike when those unseen assailants enter the room, should that be needed.
Tara kneels down on one leg, facing sideways to the entrance, as if examining something, but is really keeping a watch out of the corner of her eye and is ready to react. ~Well, they wanted bait, we can't disappoint now can we?~

It looks like our plan is too wait for the men to wander in, and observe or attack as necessary, so is everyone hidden?

Of course, Tara messes it up. Yui thinks maliciously. (Just being in character no harshness meant :), for Tara for some reason is a perceived threat in Yui's mind). Hoping that she hasn't been seen yet, Yui readies for a sneak attack.
