"I will go with Naught and Larik. My name is Lama,by the way. So you can call me that."

"Can I get a lift from anyone to the Lambda?" Dolar asked. "It's quite a walk...."

"Hop on, Dolar" says Lalam. "Let's see if this shuttle is big enough."

Saladin enters the store, perusing the store, before purchasing a comlink and leaving and heading for the western edge of the small settlement, waiting by the wall.

Khit sits upon Gupgup's back, waiting quietly just inside the gates of the massive walls. As she sits there she is adjusting her rifle, checking her pistol, making sure all the straps are tight on the saddle packs. It's a routine she has been through a thousand times before, it's calming to her and Gup.

Then all of a sudden Khits vision goes fuzzy, and an image appears in front of her, 2 Acklay approach, a mother and child. Incredibly they speak to her in a kind of way, they use her memories to show her the connection she has to the world around her. A connection that has always been there, that she has always known, but never understood. These Acklay have more to teach, but not now. As the vision starts to fade a humanoid in white climbs up on the juveniles back. Finally her vision clears just as WW-413 pulls up at the gate on his bike.

"I have a feeling we are going to be getting to know each other a lot more soon 413"

"What gives you that Idea?"

"I have a habit of being in the right place at the right time, and for some reason I can often preempt people. It's always just a feeling I have, or something I dream of. You wouldn't happen to know a couple of Acklay would you?"

"Most appreciated, mister Ogoodu," Dolar answered and tucked his datapad in his backpack. "So, what are we waiting for?"

In Hushed Tone

"Not in the walls, they'll shoot you for mentioning those beasts, we'll talk about that when we get out" WW-413 whispers as the gates open.

"Lead the way"

Lalam fires up the speeder and revs the throttle. He likes the sound of it, it's the first real thing he's owned. "Hang on," he yells to Dolar, and they head for the Lambda shuttle.

Larik watches the Lambda team head out and looks the Kaminoan up and down. He shoots Naught a knowing glance.

"I guess it's just us three going to check out the collector's inventory. So what's your story? You're a long way from home, if I haven't missed my guess."

Spotting the group heading for the shop, Saladin leaves his perch and follows.

Larik watches the Lambda team head out and looks the Kaminoan up and down. He shoots Naught a knowing glance.

"I guess it's just us three going to check out the collector's inventory. So what's your story? You're a long way from home, if I haven't missed my guess."

"An outcast? This Gand knows a thing or two about that. This Gand had some unpopular opinions back home and rejected a few offers that a Gand does not reject." Naught makes a dismissive gesture, "Nothing to be done."

"As for this one," Naught says, gesturing towards Larik, "Larik helped to smooth over some Imperial trouble. Vendaxa is a good to place to wait for the Imperials to forget, yes?"

Agreed, but now down to bussness, where is this collector?

Kemenril listens silently to the Kaminoan's story. After watching the group split, he opts to stick with Lama, Larik, and the Gand. "I am pleased to see some are as sceptical as I am. Tell me, strangers -- what do you make of all this? When the female on the holo spoke of teaching us...well, we all know of what she spoke. This causes me great concern. I have gone to great lengths to stay hidden and now I find my true nature is the subject of job offers broadcast to strangers? If this woman were here now I would have cut her down as she stood."

Group One

The way to the Lambda is dangerous as many Acklay lie along this path and the jungle is full of hiding places, one such beast ambushes you as you pass its lair, do you turn and fight, or run away?

Group 1

Khit prefers to run, but is not accustomed to leaving anyone behind, she draws her pistol and prepares to fire back at the beast if required as Gupgup keeps up the pace trying to put some distance between them.

Group 2

Naught turns to regard Kemenril, "Really now? It would have taken more than one death to secure that secret." Despite her words, there is a hint of amusement in her voice, "Seems wasteful. There don't seem to be many with similar abilities around to be killing so hastily. This is the first this Gand has found since leaving Gand."

We must get to the collector. And negotiate for a ship. Don't get distracted.

"He owns the general store," Saladin intones as he approaches. "I've no idea where he keeps the ships, but he'll be inside."

Then let's go there and talk to him. If he agrees to let us search the ship we should do that, otherwise let'sleaze and wait for the other group to get back.

Naught walks up to the general store, opens the door, and gestures for the others to go inside. "Larik should probably open the negotiations. Wouldn't want to spook the shopkeeper."

Fine. But keep your weapons ready.

"Yes, let's leave the talking to me. Be ready, but don't do anything stupid. And don't act unless I give the signal. And trust me, you'll know the signal."
