Rate tossed his DL and the Model 44 and stood up, hands in the air."They said you were good, but I an't no bounty hunter!! I'm just'a spacer!He shouted off into the distance.
"If your Charr Nbarr, I've got a job for you!!!"

"I dont know if they told you, but the Ims put me out of buisness. You're kriff out of luck, shizno." The voice called out in reply.

"Its about your old style of work. I want to get my ship back"Rate replied as he searched the horizon, the guy probably had the sun to his back if he was in the opening, or in one of those rock outcroppings.
It didn't matter, now they were safe from death, he wouldn't kill, hopefully. Rate had no dying need to go against a seasoned clone wars vet.

"The Imps drove me out of that buisness too. A good 15 years ago when they ashed my employers. Judging by the looks of you, you dont have enough to afford my rates anyway." The voice stated.
A crack echoed and a bullet slaped the ground before them, kicking up grass and soil.
"You keep moving your head around and I'll blast it off."

"Oh, come on Sep!" Lenler called out, hoping that this wouldn't get him shot. "I know you better than that! A few Imperial entanglements shouldn't be enough to make you give up!" He was gambling, he knew, but this just might work...
"The Sep I know would relish the opportunity to get back at them, not just give up..."

"You shut your mouth boy, before I paddle your a** and send you back to your ma for talking back to your elders."
That boy he did recognize.
There didnt deem to be a trap. An if there was, he was more than ready for it.
A patch of grass one hundred meters to their right suddenly stood up, revealing it to be a humanoid figure in an outfit composed of live grass and strips of coth to break up his outline.
The longbarreled Hunter in his grip was painted a dusty yellow and had burlap covering it's length, obscuring it from view when the man was in a prone position.
The Grass covered figure marched towards them, the rifle still up aind aimed at Rate's head.
"Neither of you kirflags know what we're dealing with here. We're not talking about some bush outlaws, swoopers, or unruly tuskdogs. Our planet has been invaded by an army. A real army with blasters, tanks, and body armor. Let that stew around in your heads for a bit before you open your oversized mouths again."

Rate gave a grin, he was good after-all. He stretched and put his arms across his chest."Invasions days are no fun, I've went through two similar to this in the last few years. No fun at all."
He looked from the boy to the rodian."So you up for the job or what?"

Charr gave the man a dire look.
"Your mama drop you on your head alot, didnt she?"
The rodian lowered the gun and his posture relaxed, though his expression was still grim.
"I'm not taking your kriffing job just so you can run away from trouble like you scum sucking spacers always do. Ive got more important matters to deal with."

The Next day, Kara and her men went back to work on the Chariot, the droid still apparently at the task Kara had given it the day before.
It was an exausting amount of work, but on this base, there was little else to do.
Wiping the grease from her hands, Kara leaned against an exterior wall of the Garage, looking out at the relatively rual location she had been cast on to.
This place was nothing like Anaxes, and even further away from the inside of a station or ship: Too much room, weird smelling air, unadjustable temperature changes, dust and moisture everywhere....
"Bloody hell, I hate this miserable muckball..." She muttered. "Why the Emperor wastes an effort to control places this bleak I'll never know."

"We can help you though." Lenler said, hoping that opening his mouth again wouldn't irritate the Rodian to the point of violence. "Whatever you need to do, we can help you, can't we? You don't need to do everything alone..."

The Rodian didnt have visible irises, making it hard to tell where his attention was.
But Lenler could sense that the rodian was looking straight at him.
"Boy, what are you saying, exactly?"

"I'm saying", Lenler said, slightly nervious, "That if you can help us, we'll help you." He was't sure what exactly the Rodians' tone of voice meant. Either he was truly interested, or gettign angry. It could go either way.

"And what is it that YOU want, boy? You want to run away from home? Leave your shitty world behind and be a spacebum? That'd make your mother really happy now wouldnt it?"

"I'm not sure what exactly I want." Lenler said, sighing softly. "I want to leave, yeah, but I can't just leave Seya-Qu like this. Those rat imperials are making life hell for all of the non-humans, and most of the humans, too. I want to go, for sure, but I'd like to make things right before I go. "
He looked Charr up and down, not really appraising, just a cursory examination. "You seem to be the person most fit to fix the planet. I want to help you."

The rodian didn't even blink.
"So you're willing to risk imprisonment, hardship, torture, the death of your loved ones and yourself, just to thumb your nose at the people who have a legit right to rule?"
