Douane said:OoC: Quick check to make sure: Martina actually understood what Sianni's brain tails "said" ? Just asking because it will affect her reaction since it's basically an invasion of Twi'lek privacy if people knew how do that.
OOC: It could be that she's guessing, or only recognizes the approximate meaning of a handful of gestures (none of them fit for polite company). She certainly is not completely fluent is Twi'lek head-tail talk (normal Twi'lek language, though, she is fluent in).
MEEP!
Sianni stares speechlessly at Martina while instinctively hiding her nervously writhing lekku behind her back. With quick step or two back she interposes Theta between herself and the woman, words still failing her as the magnitude of this ..., this sacrilege weighs on her mind. Humans were just not supposed to know Lekku! Sure, the Jedi idiot who brought her into this whole mess understood it and there may have been another two or three Sianni had meet who did but still ... Well, four, perhaps. But certainly not some random old biddy!
* * * *
The trip to the security office proved to be a bit of a problem as Sianni simultaneously tried to stay near Devan Ijatsi, just in case he'd need a real bodyguard, and away from Martina. She also grew painfully aware that her lekku apparently liked talking on their own, echoing her thoughts out into the world. Usually that wasn't much of a problem, but in this special case ...
Once the tech-heads start to work on the consoles, Sianni strolls over to Martina - still hiding her lekku, of course - and asks casually, if a bit forced. "So, who taught you Lekku?"

"Well, we had to get Lt. Vao to tell us what she was signing at that guy. There was no way she was getting away from us without explaining. The rest of us thought he was handsome enough, and he didn't say anything that seemed out of line, or at least not anything that justified emptying her drink on him. And I had to toss Sergeant Fortuna and Corporal Doneeta in the brig for brawling after they flashed their head-tails at each other -- they were darn well telling me what they were fighting about. Mostly stuff like that." Martina reminsced.

The Ithorian grunts at the mess of cables, then gets to work. He tries to jump start something with a combination of his data pad, some non-essential cables, and the outer wrapping of a discarded medi-pac. Perhaps then he could get a display.
OOC: Unless we're in a rush, I think a Mechanics check (taking 10) will satisfy for a Repair to get thing operational enough to look at the system. Otherwise, he can try to Jury-Rig it (which will require a roll).

"I'm not in the habbit of providing young people with the means for interesting ways to committ suicide, so I'm afraid you're on your own, there." Martina said.

OOC: I'm assuming by Tomalor's actions that he eventually followed the others to the security office (and that Kacela tagged along with him).
As far as the others were concerned, Tomalor and Devan Ijatsi were speaking High Engineering as they worked on getting some sort of display up and running. Or rather, the Ithorian worked, and the Ijatsi executive piped in with comments here and there. Which a lot of people would have found annoying, but since Devan did appear to know what he was doing, even if he was disinclined to get his hands dirty unless there was no other choice, Tomalor didn't really notice.
In any case, after an hour or so they'd accomplished something, and a screen lit up.
"Ah, no problem, we'll find those traitors through your service file then," Sianni replies calmly and flings the notecomp onto a nearby table as her lekku laugh behind her back at the joke. "Remind me to return that to the cutie soldier at the entrance, he's bound to miss his private stash of ... uhm, innovative Twi'lek porn by now. Just amazing what a male doesn't notice if you bump the rights part into him, right?" With a sidewards glance at Martina's armor she goes on. "Um, then again, maybe not."drothgery said:
