Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vaan had had enough with the Wookiee's games, and he and Ashe followed him to the turbolift before flashing ID at him.

"Listen here, my name is Commander Vaan of Imperial Intelligence. I would like to assure you that both my accomplice, Ashe, and I are fully trained in combat and have served in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. I am here with another member of the CEDF, as well as the Imperial Knight Seifer Duron. I don't know why you and the administrators are trying to shake us, but for the sake of argument, I am going to assume that this is something suspicious. If you do not comply with me, I will put this facility into lockdown and alert the Emperor. Military forces will no doubt be involved. Do you understand me?"

The table now cleared of players, Angel left as well and roamed around the casino, watching random games in progress and taking note of those who would be considered pros. She saw the wookiee go back and forth moments later, only noticing because he stood out from everyone else. Suddenly, her comm was active. Answering it, R1 appeared in the hologram. < A few suspicious ruffians seem to be hanging around the ship. They may be attempting to steal it. > " Can't you deal with them yourself? " < Yes, but I haven't brought the security system back into working order yet, so there is a risk. > Angel sighed. " Alright, I'll be right there. " She left the casino for the landing pad.

Gorwooken Growled acquiescently. He'd take them to see Veron, and hopefully he'd be able to warn them before the situation got out of hand. He knew that bringing an imperial officer into Veron's office could be construed as treason, but probably would be, in the end, far less bad for the cause then trying to kill the imperials, failing, and bringing down the wrath of the whold empire on cloud city and its residents. Pressing another button on the panel, the turbolift slowed to a stop and switched directions, taking them up, towards Veron's apartments.

((I know. I just like making the Jedi Master work for it))
Link heard voices up on the Hill where the Viaduct was set. He frowned a bit as he listened to them give a description that matched more or less up with him.
Then, one of them vanished from his force sensing.
They knew he was here.
He scuttled under the bridge a bit further and took his fish from his fire. He blew on it as he kept his other sense open. Even if one had disapeared from force sense, but there were other senses Link could rely on. And no one in the galaxy could defeat all of them.
Keeping casually alert, he took a bite of his fish and savored the taste.

On the landing pad, a group of punks were doing something to the Sundered Rose. Coming closer, Angel could see they were painting bizzare icons and words all over it. Her appearance giving her off as a high class woman as opposed to a fighter pilot, the teenagers pay her no heed, expecting someone more obvious to claim ownership. " What are you doing to my ship? " she asked, her tone being that of someone who was annoyed. " Yours huh? " one of them asked. " Must be all show, especially since it was almost shiny before we got to it. " He looked her up and down. " Why don't you ditch it and come with us. Ours doesn't have the bark, but it's got the bite. He put his hand on her, about to start a cheesy pickup line routine. His hand found itself removed from her when she knocked it aside. " You've got 3 seconds to clean that off my ship. 1... " The kids stopped, and joined with the other. " 2... " They pulled out crude but effective melee weapons. " 3. " One of them raised his arm up, about to swing. Before he even began the downward motion, the deceptively harmless looking woman was leaning forward in a thrusting pose, her fist rammed into his stomach. He starts to double over and collapse. The other 2 are slammed together, a blow to the backs of their heads following. They're knocked out in an instant, before the 1st one even hits the floor. " Stupid punks. " Angel said. The ship's hatch opened up and R1 rolled down. As soon as he was on the landing pad, his compartment opened and his arm extended, starting to clean the ship himself.

((I already covered that base, shinn. That's why my droid is so useful. And it would be four troopers, not two, if you're doing that.))

And odd smell was in the air, something of chemicals, though not replusive it was moderatly odorful. It was close. A look behind him would show the scorce. A jawa, 3 feet even and wearing grey robes was right there, both hands in the other selve and looking at the youth."Spasmistic, you are. Why so?"the jawa said in a strange accent in basic. Its golden eyes looking at the boy.

(( *shrug* If you insist ...
Not much for Freya to do, so I'll give her old man the floor ... ))

Veron turned about as Gorwooken entered the apartment, with the Chiss in tow. "It's you again. Is there something I may do for you?" he politey queried.
