Angel looked around and saw the sea seem to stretch on forever in all directions. " Given that we weren't told exactly how to find him, either that old cook expects us to hunt Rook down the hard way, or he'll find us. " She then turned to face Trey. " Honestly, I'm about ready to just ditch this altogether, but I know I'll regret it if I do. We don't win either way, it seems. "

Quickly, things were set in motion the second that Rook gave the order. Finding the latest arrivals in docks, only one was registered to have a craft as unique as the Kapella dock. Tracking the arrivals would be quite easy indeed.
Dispatches were sent to the eastern sector of the city as fast as possible, which figuring the operation ran by Rook, meant that they should arrive about the same time as the dues were being paid for docking fees, something which the two should find oddly free, as they were already paid in full before they had arrived.
When one has such an information network, they often find themselves quite ready for what is to come.
The first dispatch, the primary, was a small kid, just shy of 17. His mesh brown hair was always in a mess, and for being only a child, he lacked any muscle whatsoever. Skinny as a rail, he stood about 5'11", not necessarily short, but still oddly thin. This was due to the fact he was an Etti, from Etti IV. But his story really does not concern most people.
He was definately not a slow runner, and he only hoped to look decent and not out of breath when he reached the appropriate hangar...

"I don't even know why I'm doing this!" Trey said as he wandered around the crowded city.
"Not many helpful people here are there?"

" Well, all they could help us with is a name. Plus, we're offworlders. From our appearnce, it's safe to assume people could think we're hunting someone with mal intent, and they'd be too afraid to talk to us, let alone help us. In other words, we're in a real Hutt hole. " Angel said, looking around and seeing a few other beings who seem to be intentionally ignoring them.

Drako turned and looked at the door Luger targeted. He felt the some thing behind the door. Jumping up the door burst out and hit the Destroyer droid. Landing Drako took off tword the control room down the hall.
The droid scanned and found Luger. Seeing the launcher it waited for him to fire and was gonig to raise its shields on it front legs.

Moving the ship slowly they hoverd above the ground. Other ships passed and Novara did his best to stay out of there way.
" You see any thing Jack? "
" .........Two...... one unmarked....."
" Hrmm..... What one you think it is? " Novara turned to the hunter.

"Good point," Trey answered.
"Let's just try and act incospicous. Go ask for a tourist map or something."

" Already done so thanks to the Force. " Angel said, having been peering into the minds a bit of whatever beings happened to pass by. " Hey, you gotta keep in practice with the Force if you don't wanna get rusty. Anyways, according to what I found in a few heads, we can find a map at a public terminal a little ways over there. " she pointed in the direction further away from the hangar area. " I don't think we'll need it though. My gut tells me Rook already knows we're here. Then again it's also telling me to get a burger. " she said, laughing a bit at the end.

The Etti reached the hangar. As he arrived, he stopped right before going in. Smoothing his hair, calming his breath, he stepped inside. Garunteed, the ship was odd, but even this Etti never saw this design before. It was unusual, larger than most required, yet somehow managed to retain the ability to be a starfighter. It was impossible not to see it wasn't designed with tricks and slight of the hand at mind.
The rear contained a false panel, which with the ship not moving, was more easily seen. The vanes which helped the craft hid secrets buried underneath exposed wire. But intelligently, it was possible to see if one looked hard enough, that the wires were not connected to anything, instead being a camoflauge of the most creative design.
The ship beckoned to him, sent him into a trance, he nearly forgot what he was here for. It was not a ship for any crew; he realized it was old, a ship which was stronger and better than that of which could ever be created today at the same size. It was a ship which reflected a unique set of ideals, yet still retained the modern facades which make time like today so normal.
It was... It didn't matter. Searching for the dockmaster, he found that the owners had already departed. Taking one last look at the ship, the Etti ran searching for where they were.

"I'm pretty sure that randomly probing peoples' minds isn't quite the Jedi way," Trey said skepticly.
"Excuse me, do you know if there's a swoop race anytime soon?" he asked a Selkath at the corner of the street. The alien indicated that he didn't speak Basic, so Trey left reluctantly.
"Isn't there a Coruscant embassy around here?" he wondered aloud.

" True, but we aren't exactly Jedi either. " Angel retorted. She saw the result she expected when Trey asked the Selkath. " I'm pretty sure they might still have the Republic embassy way back from Revan's days, and it should be listed on the map on a terminal over there. " She paused for a moment. " Then again, I doubt we'd need to. I sense someone nearby, different than everyone else somehow. I'd assume this person is looking for someone, probably us. Coming from the hangars. "

As Mordranna engaged in combat with the P-virus afflicted Sith Knight, a pair of acolytes showed up. And both had the most annoying laughter. "Uh, huh huh ... he's getting his butt kicked," the first acolyte commented, watching the knight's progress. "Yeah, yeah! Butt kicked! Heh heh," the second chimed in. Mordranna then jumped over the head of the penguin-like knight, hammering the red blade with her own blue blade. Not a difficult feat at all, considering that in the advanced stages of P-virus infection, one's stature tends to resemble that of a demonic penguin. Still, it was a mystery to the hopeful Jedi Master how the creature managed to hold a lightsaber in it's current state. "Doods, you're here!" shouted the penguin-like knight. The two acolytes looked leeringly at Mordranna. "Huh huh ... a chick," "Heh, heh ... that's cool!" snickered the second. And then, the two acolytes alit twin short crimson hued sabers. "Boii-yoi-yoing!" cackled the blonde acolyte. Mordranna then briefly turned her attention to the acolyte duo. "Please tell me you guys aren't for real," she groaned, shaking her head before focusing her attention on the penguin. "Rekan, you should be able to manage these two simpletons," and, as she fought the penguin, one of the acolytes made a lewd statement towards Mordranna, which was promptly rewarded with a rough Force Push.

(( Fighting Beavis and Butthead too now, I see. Lemme guess, Beavis will use Dark Craze to enter his Cornholio alter ego, right? ))
Angel continued looking around, still seeing the same group of sentients that seem to be just watching the duo, most likely thinking they're up to something. " We've been here only a few minutes and already I hate this place. I'd almost prefer being around Labrynth again... " she said.

(( I may just have to, though ND's *supposed* to be backing me up ... *fwaps a ruler across ND's knuckles, and then makes him write the Jedi Code on the blackboard 100 X* ))

Luger got ready, straping the launcher to him so that he could fire it then drop it without lossing it. He poped up and shot a missile into the other droids front leg, only for it to blast off its shields. He droped the launchr so that it hung at his waist and ran to another sucure spot, all the same as pulling E-11 into his hands and shooting it, taking it in its ugly red eye and disabling the circuts. He then rolled into another hiding spot, staying in the droids blind-spot though.
