Hey Larik, I told you I could forge armor out of that metal. I have 2 suits, you can have one if you want. Anyway, thanks for your help getting that forge.

See my earlier post in OOC, you can have the upgraded one, as I already have some better armor than that.

Nice, thanks Lama. I'll definitely take that. By the way, did WW, just say he's bringing an Acklay? I must've misheard that. Right?

"Wale, Wale, I like the sound of that, yeah Wale it then!"

"You didn't mishear that, this Acklay is a friend and his mother trained me in the Ways of the Force, don't shoot him."

Nope, he said acklay. WW are you sure I can't tag it?

"His name is Arkady , if you want to know."

After he goes back to his forge and comes back Lama say "Hey, Larik here is the better suit."

Fine then, but can I tag Arkady then?

Tagging? What's that?

You know puting a tracker on something? We do it to all the clones we make, back on Kamino it helps us to not be suprised.

If he allows it.

Is he sentient then?

Yes, and son of a nature being so sticking tech in his body may not be the best idea.

In that case do you happen to have a mental bond with him?

Yes, yes I do. Why do you want to know?

Sorry. Double post.

Can you track him through it? I just want to be prepared.

"This is fascinating, Wale. This Gand looks forward to meeting your mentor and Arkady."

I agree with Gand, as well as a Kaminoan saying: "Knowledge is power."

Larik mulls over the most recent turn of events.
"I have to say, a Stormtrooper bonding with an Acklay and then convincing you guys that it's OK is certainly the weirdest thing I've been through so far. Why not? Let's see what happens."
Despite his words, he's not confident this will end well. He looks at Naught, hoping she can pick up on his ambivalence.

"I am uncertain about this," Saladin says. "I do hope nobody is offended if I approach this situation with a level of caution."

Although it hasn't been the weirdest thing I've heard. But I agree with the zabrak. We should approach this with caution. But anyways I will be in the forge if you need me.

"I have faced many Acklay in my time, they are a powerful foe. If this one is to be trusted, as i believe to be the case, it could prove a powerful ally in our struggles to remain hidden from those that hunt the gifted" Quietly she hopes this is not a trap they are walking into.

"The gifted..." Saladin says under his breath. "Right."

Naught catches the expression on Larik's face, and pulls him to the side a little bit. "This Gand understands the reason for this ambivalence and suspicion. Anonymity has been shattered and closely held secrets revealed to strangers. That it was in each case the same secret does not soften the blow. And yet a secret cannot be untold without violence. Mistrust aims at making betrayal impossible, but ends up making it inevitable."

Lalam asks WW-413: "Are we there yet?"
