Re: Chapter 1 - Mission Diverted
The wide Mirialan glanced up from his handheld readout over to the students, and just mouthed a deep 'harrumpph' at the droid's explanation.
The thin woman examined the droid, her light blue eyes scrunched up as if trying to focus on the automaton, causing her dark skin to wrinkle around her flat nose. She straightened out the two tone blue padded security armor that was a little too big for her narrow shoulders, as she spoke to her fellow guard. She snapped her fingers loudly to get his attention. "Nezy, did you find anything on the scan?"
Nezy appeared disappointed, and shook his head negatively. "Nah. Clean."
The woman nodded, and seemed to contemplate something, tapping her narrow chin with a slender finger. She gave a slight shrug and continued speaking. "Students, I see. Well, generally droids are frowned upon here. Long history where they put good people out of work, and all."
She turned and called out to the padawans, waving her hands wildly, and somewhat excessively to make sure they noticed her. "You three, there. Is this your droid?"
The three verified that the droid was with them.
She yelled back, pointing at them and then the droid. "Then you and your instructor are liable for anything it does wrong. Best be keeping a close eye on it."
The woman was interrupted as the scan alarm went off. She pulled a Bothan from the line, putting a hand on her blaster. It was the same Bothan on the tram with the YV-666 crew. "Please step over here, uh, Miss." They proceeded to scan her as well, and ignored the droid after that.
K1 was free to go, but, Jini was still being held at the other side of the gate.
