Will give a +2 bonus for the drunkenness, which brings the skill check up to a 24.[/sblock]Despite his drunken state, the young pilot turned away from Kay and watched Deurr walk off, "At guy kina creeps me out...bodyguard or no."He trailed off, but then his brain was reminded by his ears that Kay had, in fact, continued to speak. This registered in his mind and after downing more of his drink, he sighed and shook his head agian, "Really can't talk about it. 's high up important an I jus can't. But I still fly lotsa other ships like nothin' you could believe. Jus got a shipment of new TIE models to the base a few weeks back. They're amazin'. Fly like a dream, too..." he stopped to think, or at least something close to thinking, then smiled broadly, "Now that's somethin' I could get you in to see. I mean...if you wanted to..."Deurr:[sblock]As there weren't any windows that you could find, the best way to get a view of the sky was to head outside. It wasn't hard to step out the entrance to the Blue Moon, and though you couldn't spot where the Kel Dor had gone, you were high enough up above most of the city to have a fairly good view even from the walkway you were on.Seeing anything specific, even with electrobinoculars, was difficult. By now, Corulag's sun had completely set and there were lights all over the place, lining the walkways, the buildings, and traveling across the sky in the form of airspeeders and some ships. But you couldn't see much beyond the lights themselves, and looking towards the north, you couldn't seem to find anything too out of the ordinary when it came to air traffic.[/sblock]Garret:[sblock]Before you even got close to the table, something in you told you there was a problem. You had no real explanation for the feeling, just that whatever you were heading towards was dangerous.By the time you began to feel that way, you could see the object sitting there on the table. It was a palm-sized, flat object that could have easily been a larger credit chip or a datacard. That easily explained why it didn't seem to be noticed by anyone around, all of whom were absorbed in the shockball matches on the holoscreens, but at the same time didn't mesh well with why you were sure there was something wrong about it.[/sblock]Apartment Group:Istara's own comm beeped a moment after she'd spoken up and it was Sara's voice that followed, "Hang on a second, Istara...give me a moment to prepare the data and I'll send it your way. Personally, I think Sya's just looking for an excuse to fly, but it wouldn't hurt if you had a look at the data."It took a couple of minutes, but soon the data was sent to Istara's equipment. Sara had sent the direct sensor logs as well as a few graphs that looked to have been hastily put together and compiled the more relevant information. The sensor data itself was a bit of a mess, which was to be expected, but upon an initial glance, you could see a simple graphical display of an unknown object in the sky making very sharp maneuvers in all directions that didn't seem possible at the speeds it was traveling, which were faster than any starfighter you'd seen before. And it was small, too. Smaller than a TIE Fighter. The fact that the sensors on the Vortex had detected it at all was amazing...it would have been hard to see without actively looking for it, even.The graphs only reiterated much of the data, while adding some more curious information to the mix. It looked as if Sara had checked the speed of the ship with its relative size and calculated what those maneuvers should have done to both pilot and ship in atmospheric conditions. The ship itself should have been torn apart according to the readings unless it was made out of something Sara hadn't checked for and the pilot...even with an inertial compensator, no human could have stayed conscious through the quick changes in direction at those speeds. Most species, in fact, would have had a great deal of difficulty even reacting as fast as the data showed the pilot must have been.</blockquote>
