Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

**TWO HOURS LATER**

Kyvarr, Idaya, Fiarr and Dohr find the next two hours pass very quickly.  Between eating, grabbing a shower and checking gear the time flies.  Before long they hear an announcement over comms calling all crew to a briefing.  From their various locations, the four watch as all the members of this mercernary group move into the starboard cargo bay, a few stopping long enough to grab food and drink in the galley.

After the last of the crew entered the cargo bay, the door closed, leaving the four alone.


OOC:  This thread is currently for those not in the Talon meeting (i.e. Idaya, Kyvarr, Fiarr, Dohr).  You know the crew are all having some sort of team meeting in the starboard cargo hold.  Since it's been two hours since your last posts, you can assume you've eaten, washed, and checked over your gear.  What you do know is up to you!

Talons, this thread is not for you (unless you walk out of the meeting!)

Re: Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

After eating her fill, Kyvarr, with the assistance of Fiarr had relocated to the port cargo hold, ensuring she put no weight on her injured leg.  Now she was propped in a chair with her leg comfortably resting on a storage crate with pillows on top.

She'd arranged to have her case brought over and now she was carefully pulling out various components of Nijel, cleaning, oiling and testing each part before moving on to the next.


OOC:  Figured it's easier to be social in an open cargo bay then a small room!

Re: Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

Fiarr had spent her past two hours cleaning up, keeping an eye on Kyvarr and aimlessly wandering the ship.    Once she had finished all that she settled down in a chair near Kyvarr and began scouring a datapad she'd found in her travels and began accessing Holonews and financial reports.  It paid to keep up on what was going on in the larger universe.  Who knows what would happen in the next few hours.

If Idaya or Dohr wandered by she invited them to join their little 'exile group' as she jokingly called it.

And Idaya did wander in, indeed. She was headed for her bike, tailed by the chattering orb-shaped droid, but changed her course towards the Cathar and the Bothan upon noticing them. "I take it, you are looking for employment with this group, are you not", she asked in a polite tone. Even if she had had some disagreements with the feline creature, she was determined to be courteous. She was of good breed by the sound of it and despite her accented basic, she gave off an air of gentle nobility.

Re: Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

Of the four outsiders Dohr was the last to arrive to the port side cargo hold. After the meal when the women had left the cabin, the Kel Dor had sat down on the floor, lowered his canes beside him, put his hands in his lap and closed his eyes. It had been a while since he had last had the chance to relax and meditate. Decades ago, when the Kel Dor had still been a young boy, his mother had began teaching him meditation. Lacking jedi training or sensitivity to the force, learning to calm himself down had been difficult for Dohr. But Shara had not given up on the boy. Though he would never master the art on the same level his parents had, now, all those years later, the doctor was able to fall into a trance-like state very quickly. A minute into the meditation he was somewhere else and didn't notice the passing of time.

About an hour later Dohr Veen let the hum of the engines lead him back to the present and opened his eyes. Feeling very relaxed an refreshed, the doctor nimbly pushed himself up and silently thanked everyone for letting him have the room for himself for so long. Stepping outside Dohr headed to the galley to find the three women, but no one was there. Since the areas they as passengers and non-members of the crew were allowed to enter were limited, it didn't take him long to find the others in the port hold. Fiarr noticed him coming before he saw her and invited the doc to join their 'exile group'. Dohr smiled and gave the Bothan a bow. "I would be delighted to, Fiarr. Thank you."

The Kel Dorian picked a spot beside Kyvarr and followed her example. It had been too long since his rifle had been serviced last. Of course as a disciplined soldier, Dohr had cleaned and oiled the 9118 thoroughly on his trip to Det Akari. The air-tight locker had kept the carbine in perfect state, but still he felt he should take it apart, clean everything up and put it back together again. Twice. It was probably quite obvious for the women present that the Kel Dorian's robe and vest must have been specifically fitted to hide both the modified carbine and the flechette pistol underneath. They had for sure already noticed that instead of one cane, the Doc now carried two. Both were intricately ornamented with engravings and embossed figures, but on closer look one was somehow quite a bit more beautiful than the other and Dohr seemed to handle it with more care or… perhaps respect.

Fiarr greeted Dohr's arrival warmly then turned her attention to Idaya.  "You are correct.  When all the gang trouble erupted Kyvarr and I were sitting at a cafe waiting for a job interview with this group.  Kyvarr had been approached first as they were impressed with her military history.  I managed to. . .uh. . make an impression on one of the group at that big party a few nights back, the one dubbed the 'Party of the Century'.  Either way we were supposed to meet the group for an interview when all the trouble started.  Now we're here.  I have no idea if they're still planning to interview us or drop us at the space station.  Either way I need to get my friend here to a hospital soon."

"You made an impression?" Kyvarr echoed, looking up where she was in the process of assembling Nijel.  "You stole Kimy's credstick and you call it making an impression.  You're lucky she didn't come after you with a blaster rather than offer you a job!"

Re: Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

The blue woman raised brow. Fiarr was a thief? Well, a band such as she had concluded them to be could probably use an 'acquisitions expert' for scouting and getting in to places, they were not supposed to go in to. It made tactical sense. "A former soldier and a light-fingered individual. I say, you make a rather unexpected team, but I can see the tactical wisdom in it", she said, but she clearly meant no offense. "So, Kyvarr, you were infantry?" And she did acknowledge Dohr as well, as he walked in, by nodding at the doctor even though she was still waiting for the answer from the Cathar.

Re: Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

Fiarr chuckled, her fur rippling.  "One little lift and now everyone thinks I'm a professional pickpocket!  I should explain before you start worrying about your money."

"It happened at the party of the century.  I had attended with a young Duros, a refugee who had just escaped an Imperial World.  He was suffering terrible post traumatic stress and one of the doctors who visits him suggested a night at the party would show him he's safe and allowed to have fun.  I thought a party would be fun so Kyvarr and I went as chaparones, though she spent the time having drinking contests with a Wookie!"

"Well this young Duros is having a ball and the group he's with end up in an off-limits bedroom.  Nothing devious, they just wanted a new place to dance and have fun.  Unfortunately this was Kimy's room and she took the intrusion in a less than ideal fashion.  She began screaming at the intruders and waving a stun baton at them.  Overkill on her part, though I can appreciate not wanting to be disturbed.  I don't think she was happy with the party in the first place."

"Well, having a human shouting at him and threatening him with physical harm was enough to send the Duros right back into his trauma.  He'd had humans beating him and yelling at him for years.  Now this woman had undone all the rehab we had done in one minute.  I incorrectly assumed she was an Imperial as she seemed to be acting like one."

"Rather then cause a scene, I decided that this Kimy could pay for my charge's ongoing rehab so I 'borrowed' her credstick.  I had every intention of returning it after she'd made a sizeable donation to a refuge that was caring for the Duros, and many other refugees who'd escaped from Imperial oppression."

"Fortunately when Kimy came looking for me, she'd cooled down somewhat.  Instead of causing a scene, she actually offered me a job interview!  After I returned her credstick of course!  Though I hope they're not just looking for a thief.  I lift one credstick and suddenly I'm labelled by it!  Never mind I attended the Bothan Military Academy, served in the Bothan Space Defence Force, received extra training in Spec Ops and was recruited by the Bothan Spynet!"

Re: Act 6.0b - During the Meeting

Kyvarr lets Fiarr finish telling her story before starting to answer Idaya's question to her.

"Yup, enrolled in the Praxis military at the age of sixteen.  After basic training I wasn't allowed to join a commando squadron as I'm too short so transferred to armoured corps instead.  Started out as a loader and ordanance specialist in a AT-TE walker.  Good job, learned to manage and build explosive ordanance from scratch.  Managed to score a gunnery position when the usual guy got arrested.  Saw a lot of small skirmish action and quickly rose to sergeant and got my own command, a TX-130 Saber-Class tank.  Now she was a beauty.  Small, but fast and powerful.  Pulled off many a successful hit and run operation with her.  Just the thing for chasing down insurgents.  I also served as the base's unarmed combat instructor.

Everything was fine until the damn Empire invaded.  It was a slaughter, most of the armed forces were killed, arrested or defected.  Barely got out with my tank crew and the clothes on my back and Nijel here."


She held up the weapon she'd finished assembling for Dohr and Idaya to see.  As they looked she depressed the trigger to test the cyclic action.  Naturally the power cell wasn't inserted!

"He's a beaut isn't he?  Wanna try him?"  She held Nijel out to anyone who wanted to take him.

Fiarr grinned.  "She's left out the best part.  Why don't you share the story of 'Lieutenant' Dulvan and the Battle of Neylem Ridge?"

Kyvarr rolled her eyes and sighed.  "You just had to bring that up didn't you?"
