Star Wars
Reincarnated as a Tooka
A Isekai Star Wars story
Part 3c – Corellia
Even after becoming a Tooka, I still consider Corellia to be my home. It is, after all, my place of birth
- Undryl Stathe, in Orbit of Corellia 21 days before battle of Geonosis
An hour passed as Undryl meditated in the bridge of Tooge's ship, he never told her the name of his ship, but Undryl never asked to begin with. "There are jobs and money, and then there are no jobs and no money" Tooge said, which prompted a confused eyebrow, sort of, to rise as well as an ear to tilt slightly in confusion.
Tooge pointed towards the hyperspace tunnel "This is our stop" He said. Undryl just nodded, she felt as much, an hour had passed.
The ship belonging to Tooge dropped out of hyperspace exactly an hour later as he had promised, however there was still the issue of getting a landing lane and even more, a landing pad. That and they were still out a ways in terms of where they were in the system to get to Corellia, so it might be another hour just to make landfall.
As Tooge piloted them in, Baozi came into the bridge, with him was his padawan, Nyxia. And it was the woman who spoke. "Are we there yet ?"
"Almost, we're in system, but it will take a bit before we can get a landing lane, and then from there a landing pad" Tooge replied calmly as the two actual Jedi on his ship took a seat at two different locations.
As Tooge went over some readouts as they got closer to Corellia, Undryl spoke. "Head for Coronet Spaceport, Blastfield Shipyards Auxilary spaceport" She said, She held her paw to Tooge. "Use this" she had written down, somehow, a code.
"This ?" Tooge asked her, she nodded simply. "Alright. Here goes nothing" Tooge said, he typed the code in.
"Welcome back Master Jedi, its been some time" said a voice on the loudspeaker. "I am afraid we have a slight issue with the code provided, however since priliminary scans show it is offical, we have cleared a lane for you. Stand by"
"Standing by" Tooge replied clearly in shock that the strange numbers worked without issue
A moment passed. "Rishii CR90, you are cleared for pad Two Seven follow the flight path of your landing lane and you'll be here shortly, then we can figure out further of your code source." The voice was not human, clearly a droid voice but it didnt matter. Tooge smirked, it was time to make landfall
Undryl got up from her seat and headed for the bridge corridor. "Master, a moment if you will" Baozi said simply. Undryl turned to him.
"Walk with me Master Vanvaris" She replied, very briefly even Nexiya saw not a Tookasized woman talking to her master, but very briefly she saw, an outline, like a ghost, Undryl Stathe herself, talking with her master.
The two headed for the boarding ramp area. "What is on your mind Master Vanvaris ?" Undryl asked him
"Do you still plan to borrow my name while we are here ?" Baozi asked her
"As long as you permit me to do so, yes" Undryl said "Is there a problem with me using it ?"
"You currently lack a first name, a surname you can use, but if we must make it offical while you are here..." Baozi was at a loss of what to say.
"If someone asks me for my first name, I will use the first name that comes to me from the Force directly. In the mean time, you have a radio call to make, and I have a code to clean up." Undryl said in reply
"What was that code anyway ?" Baozi asked her.
"When I was a child I was given that code by my mother to use whenever we went off planet on tours or starship shows to show off our latest models. If I ever got split from them I was to use that code to have access to a private airspeeder or hangar or landing pad with one of the Stathe staff waiting for me to ensure I was safe." Undryl explained
"So in other words you got us a back door into Stathe Manor ?" Baozi asked her
"You could say that" Undryl said. "That droid though does not seem to be convinced that the code is verified, and yet it cleared."
"The droid is smart enough to question the code, most droids do as told." Baozi replied.
"I want to know why I am a Tooka, but there is something I must get from my old bedroom. I will take Nyxia with me when I head there, you will examine my... human remains before the funeral. Agreed ?" Undryl said simply, as if giving orders, somehow Baozi felt he wasnt right to question that and he simply nodded in return.
"Ladies and gentlemen and various other spieces. We will be Landing in a moment, please keep your hands, arms, feet, legs and other assorted moving parts away from all doors until the CR90 has come to a full and complete stop." Came Tooges voice from the nearby comm station. Undryl raised an eyebrow as Baozi simply rolled his eyes. Tooge liked his humor "Thank you for flying Tooge Airlines" the Comm shut off
"This happens often ?" Undryl asked him while jerking a thumb at the comm station.
"Every landing of any kind. He means well but sometimes I think his time as a speeder pilot got the best of him" Baozi said. "At least he is not calling out the floors anymore"
"What ?" Undryl asked to Baozi, the last time a person called out floors was when she was a child and she and her parents had gone to Coruscant and had the tour of the senate globe
"Tooge used to be a turbolift controller at a high end hotel on Nal Hutta for about two years before getting the ship." Baozi explained, "He'd call out what each floor had within sight of the turbolift. It was rather comical but it drove the Hutts crazy"
"I bet" Undryl said as the ramp lowered and Tooge arrived.
"Ready to unload ?" Tooge asked as Undryl gave him a dirty look, "That code you gave me raised some confusion, but once your student gave her code to go with it, no further questions were asked as you two were requested here as quickly as possible"
"I will handle clearing up the code, once I manage to whipe a few things or at least speak to my mother in private before the funeral." Undryl said
"We are indeed expected, so it is all the more pressing that we get the investigation underway" Baozi replied to Tooge, "Nice flying." Tooge simply took the coimpliment with a birdlike smile. And hit the ramp controls. "I hope you find what you're looking for, both of you." Tooge said as the ramp opened.
"That makes three of us" Undryl mumbled.
"I'll stay here with the ship, if you need me to pick up or wait for you, let me know via comlinks" Tooge said, Undryl then headed off, she had to worry briefly about a code issue
