Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well...Its kind of complex..." Natalia stopped and referred to her data pad, quickly pulling up her notes on the subject.
"Read this, its all of the official stuff plus some of my notes." She said, offering him the pad. Intelligible explanations were not her strong point and she knew it. She always ended up expounding on some minor detail that was interesting to her and all but completely irrelevant to the question.

"Well, you try doing the math on how a human of average build can leap 30ft vertically, unassisted, in normal gravity and see how comfortable you are around them." Natalia said, slightly annoyed by the question. Her personal opinions were not one of her favorite discussion topics outside of the tech realm.

"It's not that...I just..." Natalia trailed off then shrugged. Growing up raised by a droid had instilled a basic faith in mathematics and science, not people. Figuring the debate would be a lost cause she decided to change the subject to one that interested her more.
"So, are you thinking about getting your ship fixed or possibly selling it?" She asked, a spark of her earlier enthusiasm infecting her voice. She would love nothing better then to purchase the odd craft and spend a month locked in her workshop studying and repairing it.

((got to go))
"If I can make a full study of it as we work you've got a deal." Natalia said without hesitation. She wasn't to keen on letting someone else near let alone into her work shop but this would be worth it.
"...And I've got a storage room you can stay in if you need a place to stay while we work." Natalia herself lived in a converted one over the shop. She despised being away from her shop for any length of time.

((Does this include the lower levels of Coruscant, such as the Red Corridor, or just the upper central city?))

As bob climbs into his ship, he offers natalia a helping hand she didnt seem to like that kiss on the hand....note to self: kissing hand yea....another note to self: binge on blue prints as soon as possible. find out the most recent advances in ship technology, note part 2: salvage ALL pieces, even if they can't be fixed by someone else, if only to take them apart and see how they work. note part 3: upgrade 'bob' and see if I can't get my hands on a lightsaber, or at least see one in action and try to make an imitation....hmmm....
"where to m'lady? just show me where to go and I'll see what I can do...." as he said this, Bob showed natalia where to sit, taking up a small hammock-like construction for himself at the control console and donning gloves and a helmet. the gloves themselves were hooked in with various wires, and had multiple nodules attached to them. As bob moved his hands (in gloves) pressing nodules and making different hand signals, the ship came online and the shields back up.

((what? he couldn't repair the controls of the old ship, so he had to make his own ! blaugh ))

After taking a few moments to look at the datapad's directions, Bob nods, " alrighty then....lets see how much of my ships systems are still running.....hmm....do we inertial dampners?" As he laughed, bob continued to imput data through his gloves, his fingers twiddling and twitching, flicking the nodules rapidly as he calculated the needed vectors and thrust needed for the ship's flight. As the ship rose from the ground, it seemed to groan from the effort, shaking violently as it dislodged itself from the street and left a sizable crator. after a few more moments of waiting, Bob made a single, easily distinguished motion with his hands, pushing his thumbs down as if he were firing a weapon. The ship almost immdiatly responded, accelerating to full speed quickly as it flew through the air and towards their destination, as they were going, Bob continued to duck and weave through traffic, like a mad man pilot or a pod racer, he managed to break a few laws and run a few lights (which he could be charged for if he had a transponder code on his ship....but he doesnt. rofl ). as they neared the abode of natalia, Bob again began to twitch his thumbs around, the shields rose and the engines stopped, allowing the ship to land abrubtly on the surface and cracking the duracrete slightly from the impact. after a few more motions, the ship powered down, and bob took off his gloves and helmet, and turned to natalia, " have fun? because that was GREAT! I never got to test my piloting against others like that before...."

As his smile faded, Bob looked at natalia, innocently, " um...try what? I was just flying.....and what was with all those blaring noises as I passed around people? was I getting complemented for my skillful flying, or berated for some reason?"
