The Star Wars Iconic Characters and the Lords of the Expanse: Hunting Grounds...

Arani stops, and looks at her friends in surprise.

"Dinner, dancing, hunting, and a bit of espionage? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think we're actually the right people for the job. If we each focus on our own strengths, and work together, I think we can pull this off."

"Precisely what your Auntie said, if I'm not mistaken."

Sia-Lan clapped her hands together and did a little happy dance that consisted of some twirling and skipping. "Yes! I'm getting a hoverboard! The X-2394 series please! Those babies can really go!" She poked at Kaz. "And can I have your promise that you and Kelko will help me jazz it up? I want speed...I want height...I want manuverability...I want it to be state of the art craziness!"

Visions of the sleek board with state of the art propulsion system, clean aerodynamic lines, good grips bounced in her giddy head...definitely perfect for skating above the crowds in busy cities and getting into the most naughty kind of troubles.

Giving both mechanics a wink, she absolutely beamed with contentment. "I'm sure you both have more ideas for that thing than I could come up with. Please tell me some of them?"

"Weapons, fatigues and other gear for the hunt will be loaded onto the ship before you leave in the morning. Aside from that, a case of surveillance equipment will be supplied.

"Any questions?"
"Is it OK to use our own gear? I'm not madly keen about going hunting without my bowcaster. I've yet to meet a better weapon for big game." Rorworr pats the weapon slung across his back.

"You want to break your neck by the sounds of things." The Wookie grins at Sia. "My advice? Be careful what you wish for. If you let those two loose with your board, it'll out perform most speeders. Which isn't necessarily a good thing if you've got no seatbelt..."
 

"Feh. the B7K7's for amateurs. If you want a half-decent flechette rifle, you've got to go with something from Merr-sonn. No one does nails with tails better'n them," says Vor'en, unexpectedly breaking from his cool surveying of his surroundings to talk about the one thing that really interested him: reducing matter to a lower level of organization (preferably atoms), and the stuff that let him do it.

"As for the Yui Kai... well, the less said about them, the better. A place I was working security for got nervous, and hired two dozen or so of them... one speeder alarm goes off, and ten minutes later they had taken out the parking facility and most of their own team. Have you ever had a grenade launcher jam on you? Imagine one bottomless second of fear, where you don't know whether you can just clear the jam or whether it's going to blow up and take you with it.

"Now imagine doing that when you've got a thermal detonator in there." Vor'en falls silent once again, and goes back to sweeping the surroundings with is blank, plasteel-covered eyes.

ooc: Just a little ray of sunshine, ain't he?

Vor'en shifts his shoulders uncomforably. It's been a while since he was in company where talk like that wouldn't earn him respect and friendship. Mercenaries were like hobbyists, in that way- the more knowledge you had on the subject, the more respect you were given.

Vor'en cast his mind back. He had been given a small datacard, once, that told him how to deal with civilians. He had been patrolling an occupied city at the time. He reviewed it's points as best he could.

1) Do not point your weapon directly at them unless they are obviously threatening. Keep in pointed at the ground.

Well, okay, check.

2)If they come to you asking for food or medical supplies, direct them to the nearest interplanetary aid orginization outpost.

Er, check.

3)If you find a civilian with a weapon, do not treat them immediatly as a hostile; many on Ilkosso Prime have them for hunting purpo...

Oh, screw it. He'd have to wing it.
 

By contrast, as a budding young noblewoman, Arani has received extensive training in dealing with friendly military personnel. However, it can be summed up in three sentences: 1. Tell them who you want them to shoot. 2. Stay out of their way during the fight. 3. Pay them.

"Oh, no problems, Rory!" Sia called out, ruffling some of his fur. "I've got something even better than a seatbelt!" Her auburn brows waggled slightly and she laughed. "No...not the Force...magnetic boots!"

B]


Glancing over at the mercenary talking, Sia-Lan looked relatively thoughtful. "Thermal detonators are fun...I like playing pranks with them. Anyway...that's fine talk coming from a Solider boy. Is your knowledge confined to weapons? Or can you fight?"
 

At hearing Vor'en's comments on practical weapons use, Kaz's face lights up. He moves over next to the soldier and begins rattling off one weapon after another, getting as much practical information as he can for his future projects. That done, he'll go into his own ideas for weapon upgrades, combining different arms, even cybernetic weapons.

The techie's knowledge on the subject is impressive, if not vast, but comes strictly from his studies in manuals, magazines, and books.

Needless to say, the last thing he's paying attention to is Deel as the Twilek explains their mission.

"Absolutely," Deel assures the Wookiee, as they approach the entrance of the hotel, "But the gear will be there just in case you need it, for the others to use, and for appearances."
