Chapter 2: Getting In
Obi-wan and his master walked around until they came across a large window overlooking a large banquet. Obi-wan put his face against the glass, "It doesn't look like they know of the danger they're in." Qui-gon walked behind his apprentice. "It's quite likely that, Obi wan get down!" He quickly spun around to deflect a shot from a giagantic droid. The blast smashed them both through the glass falling until they landed on one of the many banquet tables throwing exotic foods and drinks to the floor.
Obi wan sat up looking up at the window they had just smashed through. "So much for a less destructive means of entry." "Hmmm…" mumbled Qui gon, "The droid isn't following, probably programmed to patrol the outer hull." Obi wan turned around, "Aahh, master?"
Countless eyes from hundreds of different species looked at them with curiosity and discust. Raising both arms the master explained "Everyone remain calm, no need for alarm we're… er " "Window washers" exclaimed the padawan. " Yes window washers, now." Qiu gon lowered his left arm and waved his other hand at a nearby ship's hand. Letting the force flow through him he said, "Now perhaps you could direct us to the ship's captain."
The Captains Cabin
This was not the captain's idea of fun, sure she was a beautiful woman leaning over his desk, but not the way he would prefer. "You weak-willed jelly-spine tea-swilling cog!" The young and absolutely gorgeous, green skinned woman yelled in his face. "I specifically instructed that no one was to enter my cabin!" A much more muscular and taller male of her same species stood just feet behind her giving a look that said 'say anything dumb and it'll be the last thing you do.' The captain simply sighed for the fifth or sixth time, "But ma'am you ordered room service."The woman moved back far enough now that he could now actually see what her face looked like. At the ,moment she was bearing all her sharp teeth, eyes once chocolate brown now literally turned red with hatred, and had orange hair that went wonderfully with her green skin and was surprisingly not on fire. "I ordered food; not some nosey half-breed to run his eyes over my personel positions as I sign the bill!"
Luck seemed to be with the captain because before she could continue raving the doors swung open and a deck hand named Steven, or Stevy, whatever walked in followed by an older gentleman and a young boy, each clothed in brown robes. "Captain these two jedi fell through the dining room skylight and asked to speak with you."
The already angry woman whipped around almost knocking over her muscular companion. "Who let jedi on my husband's ship? Escort them off Immediately!" The older man simply lifted his right hand. "Ma'am, I believe you'll enjoy a soothing beverage by the pool."
Almost like a miracle the women immediately relaxed and turned back to the captain. "Captain I believe that I'll go enjoy a soothing beverage by the pool." The captain simply nodded in amazement to the spectacle that had just taken place. She then grabbed her buffy friend and walked off in the direction of the pool, which just so happened to be on the other side of the ship. The captain shook his head and returned his attention to the jedi. "Sorry you had to witness that," he apologized. "But, Mrs. Rhoden thinks the galaxy revolves around her simply because her husband owns this ship." "It is not your place to apologize," said the older jedi. "Captain our orbital sensors indicate this ship is falling dangerously close to crush-depth" "Preposterous," replied the captain. "Our sensors indicate normal cruising conditions…" The jedi simply frowned at his response. "Then you are probably also unaware that your hull has been fortified with automated defense droids" The young jedi stepped in. "Commercial grade."
The captain's eyes widened in shock. "What! That's impossible!" "May we speak with your systems engineer?" Asked the young jedi. "Why of course, right away." He walked over to a terminal on his right and pushed in a set of commands. "Chief Bouyardy please report to the captain's quarters." The captain said into a microphone waiting for a reply. "Yeah, yeah…" Then there were sounds of some sort of scuffle and odd metal clangs of metal on metal. "…just let me finish securing this horde of killer droids first!" Within a heartbeat the older jedi turned to the captain. "What deck is he on?" "Sub-deck four port forward holding deck, now to get there…" Both jedi dashed out of the room before he could even finish and completely missed the to aliens watching in the shadows.
"Hmph… jedi, something's going on here Buck and I don't like it." Said stepping out of the shadows. "They obviasly don't recognize us sweetbread… don't start panicking." said the deep voice of Buck. "I'm not panicking. I just don't want to change our plans because of some uninvited religious zealots!" She snapped. " I might not agree with Clode on everything, but he's got those jedi pegged."
Buck put his massive arms on her shoulders and stayed behind her. "Right now we should be more concerned with getting through to your husband. If he's not on the mining platform when the package arrives…" He let out a small sigh trying not to think about it. " Then everything we've been planning will be for nothing." "He'll be there," she reassured him. " He practically lives on that station." Buck bent down and kissed her on the cheek. "For a few more hours at least…" The attractive woman turned around and faced him. "I want you to follow those two monks. Find out what they know." Buck pulled back "What! I've got to wire the…" "Go before they suspect something!" Buck started to sulk off grumbling, "…hmmm…lady if you weren't filthy rich."
