Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cale gripped his Rebar rod as the mando stepped closer.
"Last couple of times we crossed paths you and I weren't necessarily on friendly terms. You shot at me, tracked me down, and planted a tracer on me. Now explain to me what you want before I gotta put a dent in that tin can encased head of yours."

Cale blinked.
"Wait, you want to join my fleet?" He asked incredulosly.

Cale thought for a moment and then a crafty smile part his lips.
"Tell you what. I don't trust you at all. But as it just so happens I'm arranging a little Reindevous out at Lameradd in about three weeks time. From what I hear, the DSA's taken Bilbrigi. If you can make off with one of their space docks and have it out in orbit around Lameradd by the time of the Rendeivous, I'll invite you to a party I'm throwing."

"Joke noted. It wasn't funny," Rook said, straightfaced. "You are not my soldiers, nor part of my crew. The only thing I expect is when you're on the Mother One, you don't question orders. Either perform, or get off the ship. Some of us are waging a war, even if it is covertly."

The flight reached the orbiting convoy, and began docking procedures with the larger cargo ships.

"We'll be in for a long flight. I don't recommend getting off the shuttle, as we try to keep several of the storage compartments depressurized. If you need anything, ask me. We have one fresher, one sleeping compartment, and a storage room, which can double for a meditation and fighting room. If you need entertainment, you can fight each other, do jedi things, or if you need information, come to me. I'm not a good storyteller, but if that is what you need to pass the time, go for it. If you really become bored during this day long journey, you can bother me for a fight. Anything else?"

"I did not know Neb much personally, as I was usually off doing more of the work. As a child, he was much different than as an adult. As his nickname became Ace, mostly because Labrynth sent him to do the higher risk jobs, I would much rather call him Janis. Truely two sides to the man. Sadly, he was inherinetly predetermined towards the darker things of life. However, if a life story is what you wish to hear, you may want to listen to it all, as much as my knowledge knows, and that may take a very. Long. Time. There are three segments to the story. Childhood, adolescence, and Jedi. What would you like to hear?"

"Since Birth. And then again after he was appointed the rank of Master. He was odd, as Skywalker once mentioned to me when I began investigating several key things about him, without his knowledge of course, is that no matter how hard he tries, he would never dissolve either good or bad. However, he could never stay on either side permanently either. Most of his missions were diplomatic for this reason, so as not to provoke an imbalance."

Cale breathed a sigh of relief.
That was one less problem he had to worry about.
"Rain?" he called back to his ops officer. "Problem has been taken care of. Get warming up the ship."

Cale's expression fell as he dropped the piece of Rebar.
"Well terrific. Something tells me you're the hunter Rain was trying to warn me about."
