Kelko hops into the cockpit of the nearest unattended repulsorvan, only to find that the operator's key is missing.

Set looks from the keyhole to Kelko. "So, can you hotwire it, Or should we get out and push?" smirks Set.

"Expected as much," Kelko mutters as he examines the ignition box for a moment with bulbuous black eyes. "Late model Hovertron, maybe manufactured on Sullust. Guess this'll be just like that time on Ryloth," he muses, drawing a slender electronic tool from his breast pocket. Then he pulls off the ignition housing, searches out the proper wires and circuits he'll need and gets to work.

ooc: Hot-wiring the van with a Repair check of +11.
 

OOC: Odd thing about the Star Wars rules... Neither the Disable Device nor the Repair skills specify anything about hot-wiring a vehicle. After consulting several other rulesets, I'm deciding that both can skills be used, but if you use Repair, then it is considered Jury Rigged and the DC of the check is increased.

Kelko uses a little trick Arani and Deel once showed him, and the repusorvan's drive sputters into life. It's got an odd periodic knocking sound due to the fact that one of the repulsors seems to be mistimed.

Nearby, a spaceport worker loading crates onto a hovercart looks up inquiringly at the van.

Set sticks his head out the window and waves at the space worker. "Don't mind us were just taking the truck to the shop for repairs." (Affect Mind +3)
 

Set can hear the dock worker grumbling irritatedly, "Just taking the truck to the shop for repairs..."

"Well just make sure you get back by the end of shift this time," the dockworker yells back. "The next crew will need it for the Mark 4 that just came in." The worker goes back to work and Set can faintly hear him muttering something about the genealogy of Imperial contractors, the average number of them it takes to complete any job, and the overtime pay they are likely earning not doing it.

Arani sits quietly next to Vor'en in the back of the truck. She's ready to spring into diplomatic action if necessary, but for now, she waits, fiddling with her datapad. Finally she turns to Dorn and prepares to speak, but then changes her mind.

Kelko allows a rare grin as the repulsorvan started up. He carefully checked his surroundings for a quick moment, getting all the obstacles in his plane of sight firmly entrenched in his mind, and then pressed the accelerator down as hard as he could. "Hold on everyone," he thought to say after the fact, aiming the van for the nearest exit.
 

Dorn sits in the back of the van, glad that his rash use of his lightsaber hadn't gotten his companions into a fatal situation. At least not yet, anyway. He sighs as he waits for Kelko to get the van moving, remembering how much they used to emphasize discipline in Jedi training. These days frustration seemed a more powerful force in his life.

Discipline and frustration...Dorn glances over at Arani as he considers those thoughts and is surprised to see her looking at him, as if she is about to say something. Oddly, he isn't surprised by how much he wants her to say something to him, anything at all.

The Jedi starts to say something to Arani when he realizes that she isn't going to speak, but he is interrupted by the van's sudden acceleration and Kelko's belated advice to hold on. So Dorn holds on to something, wondering where they will all end up this time.

"Here we go again," he mutters under his breath.
 

Kelko weaves the van through the landing struts of parked star ships, and quickly finds a gate in the fence surrounding the landing field. The gate is just beginning to close after a tractor dragging a string of floating cargo containers through. A small guard shack stands to one side of the gate, and a squad of four storm troopers seem to be conversing with the security guard.
 

Rorworr pats Dorn on the shoulder, recognising his uncertainty.

"Don't worry, she's fine. We've all kept an eye out for her." He says quietly. "Not that the last few years have been easy. But I'm willing to guess you already know that..."

Grabbing whatever handhold is in reach, Rorworr braces himself against the van's wall, knowing what Kelko's idea of an exit is likely to be...
