"Alright. Good. Where were you hiding? Must have been a damn good hiding spot. It's been two day since take off!" Gairus said, suddenly curious about how this little girl managed to stay hidden for so long.

Tabula sucked her fingers clean and then answered his question. "In the walls of the cargo deck.

"Smart idea. Tell ya what. You stay hidden, and don't get me or Mareal in trouble, and we'll sneak you food, and maybe find you a less dangerous hiding place. Okay?" Gairus said. "Mareal, I doubt she'll cause us any more trouble."

"Vat about the cameras?" Mareal asked, pointing at the small bulb above her. "Dere are several around dee ship. You'll hafe to be extremely cautious if you vant to pull this little plan of yours off."

"Well what the hell do you expect me to do, just leave her here with an Akk dog guarding her hiding place?" Gairus asked.

"Vhy not? Xan stays nearby, and he's smart. Betveen him and the akk, nobody vill really notice until you unload. Akks are easily controlled by deir masters. It's dee safest place I can dink of from a mandalorian is behind dee giant monster of doom."

"Umm where should I hide now then?" Tabula asked the two who were now arguing.

"Alright then. Tabula, we're gonna get you some food, maybe a blanket and pillow, and we'll get you back behind the wall. We'll check up on you occasionally, okay? Now, we need to give the camera a show. Any ideas?"

"Better yet," Gairus said, "maybe we can wipe the last thirty minutes of the tape. That way, no questions are asked at us."

"You're a crewmember, right? Just unplug dee camera, go up on deck, spot dee problem, and mention dat you need to fix it. Delete dee footage while you 'check' to see if it vorks, after fixing it. Most people can handle small jobs like dat. Unless you vant to pretend she vas a dummy for your fentriloquist act?" Mareal replied. She knew a little about security systems, but she guessed that on a commercial ship, it wouldn't be overly complicated to erase several minutes of memory.

"Alright. Sounds like a plan." Gairus nodded at the Tabula and Mareal, and walked to the turbolift. "Wish me luck, eh?"

"Let's talk about fluffy."

"Two hour shifts. You're making the schedule so keep the watch among the more technically savy people. Thats you, me, Kaleb over there, Lux, and LE-AD. He's the LE droid that manages our automaton workforce. Anyone else I dont want up here on watch."
A sudden alarm blared throughout the ship, screaming and flashing red emergency lights. Hypserspace was melting away and realspace was coming up fast. The ship was nowhere near Garqi and it was being shunted back into subspace.
Jag's eyes widened in alarm and he grabbed the ship's intercom.
"Attention all hands! Brace for impact! We're coming out of lightspeed hard!!"

"Now where have I heard that before?" Gairus thought. He shrugged. "Corellians have luck. We're magic like that. Sorta like those Jedi I read about in history texts...'sept we don't shoot lightning at people! Heh heh." Gairs hit the button to go to the Galley. He would stop for a long chug of something alcoholic before doing what he was about to. For added measure, he took off his shoulder rig and stashed it in his dufflebag. This would give him what everyone needs: an excuse. Gairus sighed. "Do or die, Geb. Do or die."

Luckily Gairus was in his bunk when he heard this. He sat in his chair and held onto his seat. Hopefully Mareal and the kid would be okay. And quick. He sat down, and braced for massive G-force.
