Finally, I've found a place to fit in, where everyone respects me. -Diary
of Baka Ma'lik
The moment they had landed, they'd opened the boarding ramp and the top hatch and anything else that could vent the terrible odor. Dantien had then taken Clipper for an uneventful walk to get the both of them some exercise. Now the ship was shut, Clipper was put up, and the crew gathered in a family owned Twi'lek restaurant. The waitress had already come and gotten their orders.
"You still should have asked me before changing the color of anything on my ship!" Jess Jess scolded Baka.
He tried to defend his opinion. "But you wouldn't have agreed no matter what! The room needed life! It was so dark, you'd swear you'd been sucked into a black hole." He habitually swept his fingers through the mop of hair on his furry head.
Janua snorted and spoke before Jess Jess had a chance. "It wasn't that bad! And you don't know that she wouldn't have agreed to something like a lighter shade of blue."
"I feel really sorry for you guys. I don't think we could put up with that shade of pink in our room," Elibex said, joining in. The other two occupants of the cabin in question still grudgingly stared at Baka.
"Pink." Prat clearly wasn't so upset that the room was repainted as that the color had been the most obnoxious hot pink available on Naboo.
"You both obviously need time to recover," Jess Jess said, laughing.
"From what?" questioned a new voice from behind the Gungan. The crew turned and regarded the newcomers. The one who had spoken was a human woman that had what Jess Jess recognized as a touch of a Naboo accent. Her companion was a sandy-haired man. They both wore uniforms with an unfamiliar patch on the shoulders that depicted a Corellian YT-1300 flying into the sky with two X-wings flying escort.
"Hello," Janua said, pulling up a couple of chairs for the pair to sit in. "Would you like to sit with us?"
"Sure, but just for a minute." The man had a somewhat low voice, but it wasn't quite in the bass range. "We might be needed back at our ship soon."
As they sat, the woman explained, "We saw your ship land and wondered who else had a YT-1300." She paused for a second. "Oh, by the way, my name's Mirishi Nabas and this is my friend, Jarvey Trench."
He picked up where she left off, saying, "She's the navigator and I'm the mechanic."
Jess Jess introduced her own crew. "So, what brings you to search us out? We're just a boring group of friends." Well, that was what Mirishi and Jarvey heard. The crew of the *Vornskr* heard a muttered "mostly" added onto the end. None of them were best friends with Baka yet, and the way things were going, it might just stay that way for a while. He didn't even have a one-syllable nickname yet.
"We were just wondering what exciting things another YT crew would be up to. Especially the crew of such an unusual ship." Mirishi seemed to be much more outgoing than Jarvey, or maybe he was just not feeling his best.
The young and naive Baka answered, "We've never done anything exciting. All we do is get people or their stuff from one system to another, a big waste of fuel if you ask me."
The always-optimistic Elibex wasn't satisfied with such a negative answer. "Of course on the way to each of those systems, we get to meet a lot of interesting people like the Jedi apprentice Wesba and his master, um, I guess I forgot his name. And Emaz Sneet, the vice president of Starco."
"Wow, it sounds like you know a lot of interesting people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're in the shipping business, right?" Six heads bobbed, some more enthusiastically than others. "Us too, but it's not very interesting at all. Just the same old thing all the time. Surely you must have some interesting stories to tell."
Jess Jess thought for a moment, but then shook her head no. "It's not very exciting on the *Vornskr* either, until something unexpected happens."
