at 22:42 | Journey to Sel Zonn Station (Jack Shepherd)As Jack headed towards the small, run down space transport on which he'd booked passage from Agamar to Sel Zonn Station, he saw a slender woman with black hair standing at the bottom of the boarding ramp. She was wearing a simple blue uniform worn by many mechanics and repair crews.
"Jack Shepherd, I presume?" she asked.

Maya asked again (OOC: she's not asking or saying any of this meanly, but I'm not sure how to convey that in the text other than to put this parenthetical statement). "Because I'm not going to wait here much longer for him."

Now come on," she said to cut off further conversation. "Let me introduce you to everyone else." And she finished walking up the boarding ramp.

at 17:57 | Re: Journey to Sel Zonn Station (Jack Shepherd)First Maya took Jack to the cockpit. "This is Ikis Thanda, who just recently joined me as my navigator," Maya said, introducing a Zygerrian dressed in the rugged clothes of a frequent spacer. He had the long, flowing red hair, typical of Zygerrians, with a braid in front of and behind each of his pointed ears, as well as a topknot, which fell into the rest of his long hair. He seemed even more serious than Jack perceived Maya to be.
"Nice to meet you," he said offering Jack his hand.
"It's good to meet you too," Shepherd replied to the Zygerrian. This Ikis seemed more like him than Maya did.
Maya then took Jack back to the passengers' quarters. "And this is our other passenger," Maya said, this time introducing a green-skinned Twi'lek dressed in refined, but functional clothing. He had a sly-looking smile on his face as he stood up from his seat and reached out his hand to introduce himself before Maya could.
"My name is Connus Amersu," he said. "And you are?"
"Commander Shepard," Jack replied, taking Connus' hand and shaking it.
"Oh, Commander Shepherd." Connus replied. "And in what army are you a commander? The last time I checked, the Empire was not at war." Connus had a look on his face that told Jack he had more disdain for the Empire than he did Jack's old title.
"I was a part of the Agamar Resistance," Shepherd replied brusquely. He understood Connus' meaning, but he still didn't like his tone of voice.

at 19:28 | Re: Journey to Sel Zonn Station (Jack Shepherd)Soon the ship was in the air and on its way. After a long 16 hours the ship arrived in the Brentaal system. As the ship exited hyperspace Jack could see his destination: Sel Zonn Station. Seemingly motionless among a sea of starships and satellites above the twinkling world of Brentaal, Sel Zonn Station grew larger in Jack's view every second. A central pylon formed the bulk of the station’s mass, and three landing platforms leading to docking bays extended from the central section, equidistant from one another and jutting out into space. The dorsal side of the station featured a disc-shaped secondary structure, on top of which blinking lights indicated the presence of a landing platform reserved for wealthy patrons.
As the door to the cockpit was open, Jack could hear some sort of customs officer talking to Maya over the comm. "Please transmit a manifest of your cargo, crew and passengers, with planet of origin specified for each sentient."
"Why does it matter from where my passengers and crew are coming?" asked Maya.
"It's for security purposes," the officer explained, "and if it's not included in the manifest, you will not be allowed to land."
"But that's ridiculous," Maya responded, her voice rising. Jack could see Ikis' back and shoulders tensing up as well.
"Rules are rules," was all the officer had to say.
Maya shook her head and sighed, and you could see her typing in some information (no doubt adding everyone's planet of origin) before she transmitted the manifest.
After a short wait, the customs officer replied "I will meet you in the following hangar on Yellow Deck."
"Yellow deck? But I usually land on Green Deck." Maya answered curtly.
"Well then, you must usually have passengers that don't come from planets listed on our watch list." And Jack could hear the comm cut out. Obviously the customs officer had nothing else to say.
Maya let out a quiet scream of frustration, but steered the ship to the designated hangar. The ship soon landed, and as Jack exited the ship, he could see the customs officer waiting at the bottom of the landing ramp.
"Please line up for a search," the officer said to each of you, including Maya and Ikis (who now had some sort of poncho draped over his arm), as you exited the ship.
"I'll start with you," the officer said to Jack. "Please spread your legs slightly and lift your arms straight out."

at 16:27 | Re: Journey to Sel Zonn Station (Jack Shepherd)The customs officer sighed. "Look I know you boys from Agamar know about the Empire," he said, obviously referring to the recent slaughter at Tondotha. "But maybe you're not familiar with all the new laws. Article 179 of the Constitution of the New Order," he began, rattling it off in a droll tone as if he was tired of having to explain this. "Section XII, subsection 3 states that I have the authority to perform a search of persons and/or vessels if those persons and/or vessels come from or contain cargo from former Separatist worlds, or other worlds under suspicion of threat to the New Order without a warrant. If necessary, I have the authority to then either put in temporary imprisonment such persons, or refuse such persons access to the station."
Ikis, standing to your left, huffed at this last statement, and muttered under his breath "Restricting travel. How dare they."
The customs officer gave Ikis a sidelong glance, but said nothing. Now finished with the rhetoric, the customs officer returned to his more officious self. "Right now I'm leaning towards the latter with you, but if you continue with the attitude, I'll consider the former. Now, legs apart, arms up," he repeated.

"I suppose," the customs officer mulled.
"Is this sufficient?" Maya asked, handing him a credit chip.
"Yes, this should be adequate," he admitted. Then, turning to Jack, he said "Very well, you may keep your jet pack. May I suggest the Green Deck for you, sir? Just one floor up." He then turned to Connus. "Next!"
Maya mouthed "Get where they're going safely and with all their possessions." to Jack.

"And why do you suggest that?" Connus asked.

at 16:47 | Re: Journey to Sel Zonn Station (Jack Shepherd)"I told you," Connus replied. "Nothing good about the Empire. Including its increasingly pro-Human policies."
The inspections of the other two didn't take long either. When they were finished, the customs officer said "You're free to go. We will search your ship, and if we find anything suspicious, believe me, we'll be in contact. Ma'am, I suggest the Green Deck for you; and for you," he said to Ikis, giving no title of respect, "I suggest the Yellow Deck."
Jack could see that Ikis was about to deck the officer, but Maya stepped in. "We're on the same crew. We're not going to go to different locations."
"Then I suggest you both go to Yellow Deck," the officer retorted.
"I'll go where I please," Ikis said.
The customs officer shrugged, as if to say "Don't say I didn't warn you." But he said nothing else.
The others joined you.
"Well I'm off to my business meeting," Connus said. "But thank you for the transportation."
"You're welcome," Maya replied. "Ikis and I also have business to attend to, but if either of you need transport off the station, please feel free to contact us."

"But you can't go now, we have to..." Maya started to protest, but Ikis cut her off. "This is one of those things I told you about. I have to go. It may help the cause."
"Very well then," Maya conceded. "Good luck."
After their goodbyes Jack set about looking for leads into the resistance movement.

at 16:46 | Re: Journey to Sel Zonn Station (Jack Shepherd)As Jack walked around, he noticed that besides Brentaal's planetary security force (dressed in the same style and color of uniform as the customs officer) there was also a moderate Imperial presence, in the form of Naval troopers. He also noticed that the two groups tended to avoid one another.
After four grueling hours of trolling around for information regarding any possible resistance movement, Jack finally heard something. It was rumored that the owner of the local casino The Credit Chip, a quiet and brooding Human named Cecil Vane, didn't like what the Empire had done to the station. Especially since they didn't take too kindly to him cheating Imperial officers out of their money. If anyone knew anything about a resistance movement he might.

"I'm afraid I will no longer need your boss's services," the pachydermoid replied. "I have just made a deal that will solidify my position on this station."
"But surely my employer could offer you something to help you," Connus countered, now sounding desperate.
"I'm afraid that to me they are not worth the price at which they are offered," the Chevin said.
"Ganga, surely you don't undervalue these services," Connus argued.
"No, but apparently you overvalue my need for them," Ganga thundered. He then stood up and exited the cantina.
Jack could hear the disappointed sigh from Connus, who slowly got up, headed over to the bar, and ordered a heavy drink.

They found nothing and she was allowed on station some time ago. Something else has happened. We must leave. Now!" Vane sounded very concerned. "And you might want to tell your Twi'lek friend to leave too. The Empire must have heard about our meeting. Even though the bartender doesn't mind non-Humans here, I doubt the Empire will take too kindly to one being in the vicinity of a resistance meeting." And then Vane took off out of the cantina quickly and into the Promenade.
Jack rolled his eyes, then quickly took a hold of Connus' arm and leaned in close. "You should probably get out of here, the Empire might be taking an interest in this place soon."
Connus started. He hadn't known Jack was there, and was surprised at Jack suddenly approaching him. "Oh, it's just you," he said, calm now that he knew to whom he was speaking. "Jack, right? Thanks for the warning. I may be depressed, but I don't think having a run in with the Empire will help that. Do you mind if I come with you, where ever it is you're going? It's not like I can go back to my employer now."

Connus followed Jack, since Jack said he could come with him.
As Jack and Connus rounded the corner, Vane was no where in sight. There were only a handful of citizens milling about in this main area of the Promenade, a few of them gazing out the massive windows at the planet Brentaal hovering below. Jack also noted the young man in the hooded cloak who had bumped into him just outside of the casino sat dejectedly on a bench, his head in his hands.

"Got a problem?" Jack asked.

But before Jack could respond, things started to get crazy.
