"Well..." Walden says, pointing at the man with the robes, the one with the visor, and the Duros. "Those three...one thing's for sure."
"...They're important. I dunno what they do, or who they are, but they're important."
"Well..." Walden says, pointing at the man with the robes, the one with the visor, and the Duros. "Those three...one thing's for sure."

12 minutes ago, Shlambate said:" Indeed..." Zoroku studied what was going on before him closely, " I do however know what channels to file a formal complaint." He stared at the captain with his glowing red eyes. ' Yes... Either scared of the threat of pirates or threatened by me... neither is good sign.' He thought.
"U ughguughhhghghghhhgh aaaaahnr huurh uughguughhhghghghhhgh raaaaaahhgh raaaaaahhgh hnnnhrrhhh aguhwwgggghhh."
You aren't the one they should be scared of.
Muu would study the shipyard security procedures with his hands in the air as requested. He silently counted their numbers and observe their interactions with the apparent officer in charge. The Arbiter would then scan the hangar layout looking for any obvious Republic security risks. Muu is assuming the shipyard security is performing their best and looking for areas of improvement. The Iktotchi would smile and politely watch everything unfold.
Gaze rolls his eyes at the paranoia of the group while raising his hands, even though he already had one up in greeting, and turns to the other collected Padawans. "Were they even told we were coming? I mean, I assumed, when the Master gave us this mission, that the other side had...you know, been told to expect us ." He says the last while giving the guards the stink eye. He speaks up a bit to make sure his voice is heard. "So which one of you was Captain Scalawag huh? You know, the one who threatened to make us walk a plank, which makes zero sense in space."
Edited by KungFuFerret"Same here. Maybe they're pirates masquarading as the normal crew of the place." Tiberius says from under his mask, "Or maybe they haven't recovered from the Mando stripping raid from a couple years back." He says, Tibeius knew they very well might be, he had been on that raid after all, they had left the place devastated. "And I agree with Kattadik, no offense to you Zorkuru, but I don't think you're the most lethal one on board." Tiberius sniggers a little after Gaze's comment, "That might be the point, mabe they think that since we don't have our sabers on us we just stole the ship from the Jedi."
46 minutes ago, SHADOWGUARD CHAMPION said:"And I agree with Kattadik, no offense to you Zorkuru, but I don't think you're the most lethal one on board."
" Zoroku... Tiberius it is Zoroku, be Glad I do not have pronounce my full name." He turns to Tiberius who is at his side, " There is more than one way to be threatening, specifically Walden was speaking of how I chastised the Officer on the bridge for not having a properly disciplined bridge crew." He turns back to the face those searching the ship,
57 minutes ago, KungFuFerret said:"So which one of you was Captain Scalawag huh? You know, the one who threatened to make us walk a plank, which makes zero sense in space."
" A man like him with so little self control should not be anywhere near the communications station on the bridge. I hope Officer Chalon follows the correct protocol to discipline him." He says loud enough for the three figures in the back of the room to hear.
"Oh believe me Zoruku, I happy I don't have to memorize your full name either, and I didn't say most threatening, I said most lethal, specifically without a saber. I would definently say over a comm you are easily the most intimidating out of all of us, you sound like someone ripped out your emotions and buried them in a deep, dark hole." Tiberius says, button pushing was just as enjoyable with red-eyed, presumably, mutant Pantorans as it was with Mandalorians.
The commander of the guards would make no response, simply watching the newcomers with a stern gaze. Nor would the figures at the back of the hanger, though the portly man would dab his brow with a handkerchief nervously.
'How we doing in there private?' The chief guard would shout in a booming voice, and after a couple of minutes, the young man would return into view. In his hand he held one of the jedi's lightsabers. 'They're jedi alright, take a look!' With a buzz, the blade of Tiberius's blade strung forth, nearly impaling the boy in the chin as it did. 'They're jedi alright' he'd repeat, wincing slightly as he rubbed where he would have been stabbed.
After a moment the chief guard would not, gesturing of her men. 'Alright, stand down men' she'd grunt. They would do as commanded, lowering their weapons and backing away cautiously. The young trooper from the ship would move towards the jedi, cautiously offering the saber to them, unsure of the owner.
As they go, the three at the back of the hanger would hurry forwards to meet the others. 'Oh thank goodness' the man would pant as they arrive. 'I really must apologize, but we had to be sure gentlemen. When a ship jumps from lightspeed into restricted space, well, we must expect the worst'.
The Iktotchi steps forward with his hands crossed underneath his robes with his head slightly bowed. His face would tilt up towards the three who hurried forward and smile. " Understandable, yet the welcoming was quite the shock to my associates after a three week hyperspace journey as you can see. I am Padawan Muu Wusun, Arbiter within the Jedi Order, Greetings ". Muu would point to his party " These are my Jedi associates who are also within the Order. Thank you for allowing us to dock within your bay. We have been instructed to assist the Republic with the Foerost Shipyards" . Muu would motion his hand forward before them "Shall we proceed? ".

Gaze raises an eyebrow at their behavior and comments. "Yes, known ship profile, legal transponder codes, and told to expect us, presumably at their request. Clearly this is all a trap, a nefarious rouse to lower their guard." His tone dripping with sarcasm. He proceeds to look around the facility, taking in the condition, noting for any signs of detritus, open panels, corpses lying in their own waste as they slowly rot in the corner, the usual signs of things gone to heck.
" Gaze is correct, despite his sarcastic tone, unless the Republic Senate failed to tell you of our arrival you should have expected Jedi. " Zoroku walked up behind Gaze and Muu as the three officials approached them, " May I also remind you that Gaze's initial response was commentary on the lack of professionally of your bridge crew, if Officer Chalon had better control of the men under his command this whole misunderstanding would have never happened. " Zoroku turned to face Gaze, " I see now your test of their reactions did bear fruitful, it shows us that the officers of this station are more likely to act on impulse than to analyze all the evidence provided them... " Zoroku seemed to be trying to imply that this was planned.
"So can we have our sabers back?" Tiberius asks before audibly chuckling at Gaze. "I'm with Zoroku here." Tiberius says, purposely saying the name right in order to better present a united front, "You guys need fewer break hours."
"...Seems like the only competent people around here is the starfighter squadron that escorted us in." Walden says. He's certainly not impressed with the state of affairs here on Foerost.
"But who knows? Maybe there are some diamonds in the rough." From his travels with Master Sellas, sometimes the ones that prove to be reliable in times of need come from the strangest places.
An eyebrow would raise above the female officer's visor, and her mouth would open as if to speak, but the man in the centre of the three would wave his hand rapidly to belay any further retorts. 'I can only apologize master Jedi's. You see, when a ship arrives within restricted space, expected or no, we must take precautions. After all, we don't want a repeat of-' he'd pause, glancing around before continuing. 'A repeat of last time'.
He would step back, offering an odd cross between a bow and a nod. 'Allow me to introduce ourselves. I am Misas Fartol, foreman of the Foerost shipyards' he would say with pride in his voice. This charming lady is Admiral Jamcat Haghaw, republic liaison, and this fine Duros, he is Nen Stoom of the workers union'.
Both would nod, but make no other form of greeting. 'When you are ready, I can show you to your quarters, and then perhaps a quick tour of this sector before the end of the work day?'
"...Must be talking about the Mandalorians..." Walden thought to himself. It had looked like Foerost had yet to recover from the strike it had taken from the war. "Hm, guess Muu had the right idea about researching the whole thing."
Walden waited for the rest of his companions to respond to Fartol's suggestion.
Edited by satkazGaze would tuck his hands into the folds of his white robes, in the typical Jedi posture of neutral waiting. He makes no verbal comment, and simply continues to glance around the facility from their current position. He seems content to just let things progress at this point.
" I for one would like for the tour of the facilities to occur before we are shown to our quarters. I however am not the only Padawan here and the decision is not solely mine " Zoroku said as he looked at the group of Padawans and the group of the Admiral, Foreman and Union Boss. ' I will need to get my research into the hands of the Admiral, it will be the only way to get my suggested changes into the Republic Fleet.' Zoroku's gaze turned to the Admiral and studied her expression trying to gather any information from her reactions.
The Padawan acknowledged each of the introductions perform by Misas. Muu glances over his shoulders to view the other Jedi's facial reactions before responding. He looks at Misas Fartol and says " A sector tour of the shipyard is a lovely suggestion, Foreman ".
"I'll join you guys on the tour, not much else to do." Tiberius said, It would be interesting to see how the place had changed.
The foreman would manage a faint smile as the Jedi talk, bobbing his head rapidly in agreement. 'Excellent, excellent. Well we won't be able to see the whole facility, that will take much longer than the time we have left today. It does circle the entire planet after all. Perhaps you wish to drop your belongings off in your quarters and I can show you the main areas?'
The Duros would grunt at this, glancing up at the Jedi as he speaks. His voice is deep and raspy, and sounded like he was tired from a long day. 'This sectors crew nock off for the day soon, and I won't be asking them to do overtime just to show off the site. If you really want you can watch them at work you can wait for the night shift to start, but that's a way away'.
Muu politely acknowledges the Foreman’s offer and union workers comment. “ Thank you for the offer Foreman. I believe my associates and I are able to view the tour now, if that’s alright? We are happy to view t he the facility currently to avoid overtime complications Nen Stoom” he says. Muu smiles eager to examine the shipyard.
Edited by VergenceGaze turns. "Actually, do you have any personnel in need of medical aid? I know nothing of ship construction, but I doubt a place this vast is without it's work-related injuries. I'd be happy to provide my skills to any of your crew in need."
The foreman would glance at the union officer, how would sigh heavily before tapping on his datapad some more. This crew quite in about half an hour. Night shift starts half an hour after that. He'd glance up at the jedi, pausing for a moment. 'That's the best you're going to get out of us today, gentlemen'. There was a touch of animosity in his voice, but it was masked well by the raspy tone he spoke in. The foreman would turn back to the jedi, still trying to keep up the friendly appearance. 'Well that sounds reasonable to me master Jedi.
At the question about medical aid, the foreman's face would brighten up. 'Oh, we've been rather lucky for injuries. I think the last one was a welding accident in dry dock four. We have an excellent medical facility near by which your welcome to inspect if you wish. It's a good chance to talk to our doctors and see what we have to ofer'.
Gaze nods at this. "Sounds good. I could use the opportunity to purchase some missing equipment."
Walden raises a finger up in the air.
"I would love to take the tour...but I believe a Captain Bartlett wishes to speak to me. If you do not mind, I would like to inspect your starfighter patrols in this shipyard."
