Oooh! New allies!

Akua exclaimed.

Is he... force sensitive?

She then asked Elias.

As he made his way down, Tino spotted a First order shuttle next to his landing pad.

Awww crap.

he cursed.

This mission was already hard. Now I have the bucket heads here too...

Not sure, but I'd be able to tell from a face to face meeting, let's go say hello.

Elias walked over to the door of the adjacent docking bay and knocked

Hello, Mr. Chiss pilot whose name I'm very sorry that I can't pronounce correctly, we're the occupants of the stolen, I repeat STOLEN, first order shuttle next door and we'd like to talk.

Then to Akua Elias quietly mutters,

In several of the possible futures he initially responded violently because he thought we were first order, and I quote "bucket heads"

And yet I don't have a bad feeling about this

Akua smiled.

Good then! Let’s go meet him!

Tino stared at the door warily.

State your business and who you are then!

Korath if people are out of money may i suggest you either trade the gentlemen for the winterwear or perhaps work it off. Im gonna go up ahead and start the journey.

Elias puts his hand on the door and closes his eyes trying to sense the emotions of the Chiss behind the door to help Elias pick the right words to influence the Chiss and create a positive impression of them in him.

We were about to go to the new republic base when you flew in and I had a feeling that you were going there too and would like to know that we were going there to confront two bounty hunters, a gand findsman and pale female twi'lek, who were waiting to ambush someone. We don't know precisely who they are hunting, but if it's us we decided to deal with them on terms we get to set rather than have a gand findsman on our tail to the rim and back. As for who we are, I know things that I shouldn't and there are additional reasons beyond the fact that we stole a first order shuttle that we believe the bounty hunters may be after us. I'm happy to tell you that in person, quietly but I don't like talking loudly through a door because it increases the odds of us being overheard.

Xanth looks at bug mate and the wee lad. Both were already shivering slightly though the boy was obviously trying to put on a brave face. She was bloody cauld tae.

"Oi you whey the fur. How's this mate. I'll gee you this here sword. Worth mare than a load o' yer furs. You gee me, bug mate and the wee yin full deck of the cosy coats. Gets you profit, keeps mah **** warm. Gid aye?"

in anticipation avalon pinches one of the furs and ties it like a cape before continuing to run around the store being a general nuisance

“We’ll take that one and two more coats,” Korath tells the proprietor, handing him 300 credits.

”Here,” he says to Xanth and Kark, passing them each a coat. “Put these on to keep warm as best you can.”

The Drall would reach out to take the sword to examine, but would pause as he is given the credits. He would shrug to himself as he pockets them. 'Alright, you've got a deal there' he would grunt. 'You want to hire the ibbits as well? Not going to get far without them if you're travelling'.

"Oh I see, jus' jump in and take aw the goodwill fer yersel when I was tryna do a heroic self sacrifice. Prick"

Tino, after thinking about it, relented and opened the door, though he had his blaster pointed at them.

Stay there and talk.

" Name's Lieutenant Arvel Venn, Republic Army," says Arvel. "These rather... unconventional ship jackers are with me. And may I have the pleasure of your name, sir?"

Jonas passes over his credstick and grabs a set of furs, "Man, am I lookin' fine or what? Hmmm yeah. Brothers' gotta watch out. Shaaf is back!"

Heya! I’m Akua!

The female beamed and waved her hands.

Your Tino arentcha?

The chisd stepped back.

How do you know my name!?

He exclaimed.

Why, cause you are force sensitive!

Akua beamed.

Elias: Tino I can pronounce, it's the long form that was getting me tongue tied. Pleased to make your acquaintance, I'm Elias Windrider, this...

motions to Chemdat

Elias: ... is my brother Chemdat...

Chemdat: Yo

Elias: ... and the Arkanian is Excal'ur.

excal'ur nods his greetings

Chemdat who had been leaning against a wall a few meters away sighs in frustration and: Dude just let us in, it's not like that blaster pistol is any threat to us, Elias could yank it from your hand from across the room after you decided to shoot but before you pull the trigger. Do the math, we knew the pilot of the ship about to land next to us was a Chiss who is going to go to the republic base, and we told you about a twi'lek and gand bounty hunter who is waiting there when none of us but Arvel Venn has ever been there and they weren't there earlier tonight when Arvel left to greet the supposed first order troops. And Akua told you your name, and she's a Miraluka which even if are unfamiliar with the species you can tell by looking at her because she doesn't have any eyes despite which she can catch this

Chemdat gently lobs a low denomination credit chip he'd been fidgeting with at Akua's head

Lobbing a credit chip at Akua's head to prove to tino that she can see despite not having eyes : 1eP+2eA+1eD+2eS 0 successes
p-a.png a-a.png a-s.png d-th.png s-th.png s-f.png

The credit chip is on a trajectory to barely miss her nose.

@player3333902

Chemdat continues: and if you think she did that with echolocation or something just ask the "blind" lady what color your shirt is. Elias just doesn't want to spell it out for you when other people are listening, but I'm sure he'll answer all of your questions in detail in private and give you any demonstration that you care for as proof that he can do what he's claiming he can. We come from a place where demonstrations that what you're claiming is true is a part of normal conversation but Arvel finds that annoying so maybe you do to.

Eep!

Akua yelps as the chip flies towards her.

Tino narrowed his eyes before reluctantly holstering his blaster.

Look. I don’t want any trouble. I just want to get my job done and go back to get my pay.

However, if anyone tried to probe him, they would be able to find excitement and curiosity in him.

Elias gave Chemdat a stern look and then said: Akua let me apologize on my brother's behalf.

Chemdat smirked.

Sense Tino's thoughts : 4eF 3 Light Side, 3 Dark Side

Elias senses Tino's thoughts as he enters the docking bay but Tino's buzz of excitement gives Elias a mild headache (3 strain)

Elias said: Tino , don't tell me the code to open your ship's hatch

To get Tino to think about the entry code, and then typed it in to open the hatch.

He explained, the first lesson is you should guard your thoughts and feelings, I just used a verbal trick to get you to think about the entry code so I could read it from your mind. If you need any other evidence that we are who we say I'll be happy to provide it. The point is that I, Akua, and Excal'ur are fully trained Jedi knights though with different specialties. We met on Dantooine about a week ago and escaped a first order invasion by stealing the personal shuttle of the former imperial inquisitor leading the assault. I had attempted to train my brother Chemdat in the ways of the Jedi but our familial bond was getting in the way... basically Chemdat doesn't want to listen to what his older brother is trying to teach him, so the reason we left our very backwater homeworld was to find my former Jedi Master Korath Lorren because hopefully Chemdat will listen to him because he's not family. We met Lieutenant Arvel Venn a few hours ago and he signed up for what amounts to a jedi leadership class to help him take down the first order. While we were talking, I took a glimpse at the future and saw a pale female twi'lek and gand bounty hunter team setting up an ambush back at the new republic base. We don't actually know who they're hunting but it could very well be us and our collective wisdom was to confront them now on terms we get to set rather than having a probable gand findsman dogging our trail to the Rim and back. I was advocating that we use our ships guns to hold their ship hostage to force them to come out and parlay, and if that wasn't enough to discourage them we blow up their ship to make the point that hunting us is unprofitable. Of course since you're force sensitive and you work for who was it, oh the black sun, and you're going to the base to salvage whatever you can, you might be who they're targeting. Given that all 6 of us in this docking bay are force sensitive, our collective impression might have been enough for the findsman to target a generic force sensitive. We were about to fly to the base when you were heading to the pad next door and I took another glance at the future to see if you were a threat and found out that you could be a valuable ally. So that's the general overview, do you have any questions for us?

Arvel chuckles, "And the second lesson, Mr. Tino, is that Elias, really, really likes Jedi parlor tricks. He's got a few dozen up his sleeves and will demonstrate them so long as you are interested. And several more after that."

Elias: i f you ever visit my home planet and make a claim, be prepared to back it up with a demonstration or my people will not believe you. It's a cultural difference that happens to annoy you and I apologize for that.

Elias: Tino, either before or after we deal with the bounty hunters we're going to need a ride off planet. Since you're here maybe we could go with you aboard your fine ship, it looks like a CEC ship to me but I'm not familiar with this particular model, if you're willing to do that we could fence the first order shuttle to a smuggling operation with the resources to switch the transponder codes, an then pay you several thousand credits for your troubles, we could probably get 70K for it and since there are 7 of us present, if you were to join our group split 7 ways that should be roughly 10 thousand credits each. Dealing with the bounty hunters can wait, while we try to find a buyer... what do you say?

Arvel, what section of the city did your superior officers tell you to stay clear of in order to proverbially keep your nose clean?

Tino narrows his eyes at everything Elias says.

Prove it to me then.

He says.

And who’s aboard my ship?

< why does this say pilot? It's an opposed discipline check and force power triumph to be extra convincing >

Elias: is this sufficient proof?

Elias telekinetically lifts tino about a quarter meter above the ground and then gently sets him back down
