Star Wars - Rebellion

[GruTheWanderer]

Oraltor follows Calven and Leo. He hates to see fellow entertainers under the microscope, but he has heard that the politics within bands like these are often quite complex. Perhaps the lead singer is making a point of some kind.

OOC: Folks, I have just returned to my mother-in-law's house in Pensacola, Florida after spending the last six days in Orlando at Disney World. I'll be here until Saturday morning and will try to post later tonight or tomorrow (Friday). Saturday and Sunday will be spent on the road driving back to Colorado. So, bottom line is that I will try posting one more time before I return home and next week, the game will begin to take on a more normal pace. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Another hour passes and aside from a few stragglers, everyone has returned to their rooms. The band makes no further appearances in the lounge or anywhere else on the ship.

Before everyone has turned in for the night, an announcement is made from the Captain of the ship, a Sullustan by the name of Aflon, that the Celestial will arrive at Dantooine at 0900 hours in the morning.

The night passes quietly and everyone gets a good amount of rest. Talk in the dining room in the morning focuses on the rumor that the lead singer of the band is still missing. No one is sure what happened to her and the band is secluded in their suite. Evidently several crewmen searched the ship from top to bottom but found no trace of her.

Ten minutes before the scheduled arrival time at Dantooine, the ship comes out of hyperspace and begins the cross system trek to the planet. Five minutes before arrival, one of the Celestial escape pods is jettisoned from the ship and rockets towards the surface of Dantooine, causing much confusion amongst the crew...

Izon is in his room busy gathering his things when he hears an all too familar 'thump' sound. He looks out his view port searching for the cause of the sound. As he scans space for a brief moment, he sees the pod screaming towards Dantooine's surface. 'Odd. I wonder if that singer is behind this. I wonder if that man, or that boy are to blame for her disappearance. What's even more puzzling is the fact that I'm worried about some singer when I have a wookie to hunt down.' Shaking his head, he finishes up his packing and heads out of his room towards the holding room so that he can depart once the ship has landed.

Andre is up about earler to see if Leo made any progress on the toy. He packs up all his stuff and goes looking for Leo.


ooc the piece of equipment was purely for show he was taken in by it it is entirely junk nothing

 

[Mickerus]

Wulp, with the events of last night pretty much having gone bust, Leo retired to his room for the night, and has been working on this piece of junk he got from Andre (repair check, taking 20 I suppose?), if only to figure out what it actually does.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Oraltor attempts to make contact with the members of the band, asking the ship's crew for help if need be (Diplomacy). He'd like to offer his assistance in locating the singer, and learn as much about her and the band as he can (Sense Motive). Oraltor tells them that he knows a few people on Dantooine who might be able to help.

I'm back!

During Ryn's furious but successful struggle at the sabacc table to break even, he notices that the singer he was so infatuated with earlier has not come back with the band.

Ryn goes back to his room with the others when it's obvious that the band will be retiring for the night.

The next morning, Ryn cleans up, puts on clothes, and heads out to the lounge for breakfast, where he sees most of the others from the night before. The pretty singer is still missing, he finds out. He finds his way to a staff member right about the time the escape pod launches.

"Has the singer from last night been found? Oh!", motioning toward the escape pod out the window, "Who's that?" [Gather Information check?].

 

[Catulle]

As the evening wound down, Calven took advantage of the time to view some information holos on Dantooine; his research methods were more slapdash than he might have hoped, due to his enforced absence from professional academia but he thought he did a decent job. He used newscasts to read between the lines of tourist guides and cross-referenced with the historical noted he kept on his datapad to try and make planetfall as prepared as possible. His attention hardly wandered from his reading with the escape pod's launch, save to brand the affair "A damn nuisance."

OOC: I'm back from vacation and should be posting roughly once a day from here on out.

IC:
As it turns out, the Celestial won't actually be landing on the surface of Dantooine. An announcement is made shortly after arrival stating that a smaller shuttle will carry those passengers who are planning to disembark down to the surface. After transporting those passengers to the planet, the Celestial will continue it's journey through the outer rim territories.
------------------------------------------
Izon, while gathering his things, hears a knock on his door. Opening it, he finds the twi'lek band member standing in the corridor. "Excuse me sir, but may I speak with you a moment? In private?"
------------------------------------------
Andre finds Leo in his cabin, working on the piece of equipment. (OOC: I'll leave the description of the piece of equipment to you two.)
------------------------------------------
Oraltor is able to locate the suite belonging to the band members. Only the bith and rodian are present, with the twi'lek nowhere in sight. They are hesitant at first to speak of their troubles to a stranger but after some brief discussion, they invite the ithorian into the room. Once behind closed doors, the bith speaks frankly. "My name is Ta'aka, and my associate here," he says with a nod to the rodian, "is Kredar. Our twi'lek friend is out taking care of some business and as you are probably aware, our singer, Sasha, is missing. The truth of the matter is that Sasha is a spy for the rebellion. The rest of us are not spies, but are sympathetic to their cause. Sasha is a talented singer so it worked well that she use that as her cover. She was on a mission that I cannot speak of freely at the moment. Our fear is that she has been captured and taken to the surface in that escape pod that was jettisoned a short time ago. If you are truly interested in helping us recover her, we would be most appreciative. Do you have any friends on board that might be willing to help?" (OOC: diplomacy check with the band was a natural 20!)
-----------------------------------------
Ryn manages to locate a crew member.

"Nope, the singer wasn't found, despite a thorough search of the ship. The rest of the band believes that she might have been on that escape pod, and the captain of the Celestial agrees. Are you disembarking this morning? The shuttle for Dantooine leaves in half an hour."
-----------------------------------------
During the action happening around the ship, Calven remains in his cabin reading up on Dantooine. He vaguely hears an announcement that the shuttle for Dantooine will be leaving in 30 minutes.
