"Oh Im sure as soon as they get themselves untied and find someone to report to the Federation will make all due effort to hunt down a rogue droid and their missing lander. but that gives us a couple hours at the least. and even if they start looking for us, our trail will be too cold to follow. Then they'll start looking for us on the nearest civilized worlds, wasting all that time while we just shuffle on out of the core worlds right under their noses. Ease up Blue. the hard part is over."
The ship poped out of hyperspace into an empty area of vacum.
Cale worked the comn station and sent out a coded signal to everything within the imediate area.
"Ok now where are you guys..." he asked himself as he tried to locate the Auric Runner.

"My Yz-775. She'll be hard to spot because she's running silent now, but once the guys pick up my signal code and verify it, she'll show up." He looked to her with a slight grin. "You didn't think I flew across the galaxy in a cramped little fighter did you?"
Then, directly of to Port, a crimson ship flashed its running lights and began to cruise forard towards them.
"ah, theres my girl." Cale beamed as he flashed the lander's running lights in respons and began to float towards the Auric Runner.

Ali'anna smiled. "I can see why you're fond of her... a beautiful bird, if not...dolled up much." Even so, she appreciated its design, and one could tell from her expression that she enjoyed looking at the ship.

"Hey, she's a working girl. She doesn't need much makeup." Cale said in defense of his ship. The two vessels docked and cale opened the cargo bay. He issued orders to the salvage droids to load the Phoenix into the starfighter bay of the Auric Runner and made his way across the docking tube to the Runner. He opened the airlock and found his way blocked by a very large Barabel who looked down on him with a stern gaze. Cambot floated down and stared at him as well.
"Alinn stole a pod and holy sith you look like hell. what did you do? get shot down?"
"Can it shockbox. let the salvage bots finish loading up the Phoenix then strap down the Sentinel and set course for Vergresso. Im gonna lie down now."
"Who's that?" Rak asked as he eyed the Twilek.
Cale looked back. "oh. Guys, this is the Serpent-I call her Blue-, Blue, the lizard man is Rak, the cycloptic hover ball is Cambot. She's going to be hitching a ride with us."

A couple of hours had passed. During which, Mordranna ran the Squires through both A and X-wing sims, and made note of the results.
"Congratulations to everyone!" Mordranna called out. With little preamble, she then, based on each pilot's test scores in the sims, assigned each member a fighter and callsign. For the time being, she would continue to use her own Jedi Starfighter as Squire lead, at least until a replacement was brought in to take command. Of course, she would have to relinquish command of the squad, as Jedi duties would dictate. Squires Two through Six would be in X-wings. Seven through Ten were assigned A-wings, and the rest took to B-wings.
"We shall be reaching Yavin Four before too long," she announced. "In the meantime, take some well earned R+R, Squires. Dismissed!"

Ali'anna nodded slightly to each, her face an edged neutral. "Hello, Rak, Cambot." Her attentioned turned to Cale and she spoke quietly. "Where can I stay?"

"Remember that Girl who tried to nix me?" He asked. "You get her room. Cambot? show her where it is." The outlaw winced and started shuffling down to his room.
Cambot and Rak watched him go for a moment, then turned suspicious glances at Alia'anna.
Rak gave a reptilian snort and walked in the direction of the Rec room.
Cambot then turned and started hovering back towards Alinn's quarters, looking back to make sure the Twi'lek was following him.
He stoped floating near a door and nodded to it.
"This is the place. Kitchen is down the hall near the rec room. Any questions, don't bother to ask me. Now, I have to go and b***h at a bunch of stupid salvage drones."The droid said in a tired voice.

Ali'anna had half hoped there would be some belongings in the cubicle, but it was bare. She didn't want to be alone with her thoughts, so she tossed her SO-19 onto the military-style bunk and glanced at Cambot. "Need any help with them?"

The sphere continued to float mid air and said."It would be best to let droids to droids. if they're from Fedderation forces, they should be used to taking orders from droids."

Ali'anna sighed and walked to the rec room. It was comfortable enough, and she sat down on a synth nerf-leather couch that contoured to her back nicely. She gazed across at Rak, inviting him to try her.

The Barabel Rak sat on an epmpty storage crate, mending a rip in a pair of his pants with suprising dexterity for a burly reptile. He eyed the twilek woman as she came in and for a few moments said nothing then he fixed her with his yellow gaze and snarled at her in Huttese.

Ali'anna assumed he at least understood basic, so she chose to respond in that language though she was fluent in Huttese. "He crashed from what I could tell. That's where I met him. I brought him some supplies, he got a droid to act as our companion, and we held out by his ship until the salvage crew landed to pick it up. Our droid eliminated the crew and we hijacked the vessel, bringing it here." She leaned back farther, "Alright?"

Imperius opened up to the Force. Now that he knew what he was looking for, he knew that everywhere he went, he would look for them in the Force. What he didn't know was that he would sense a few as soon as he began looking. He followed the calling, and eventually came to a large hole, where he instructed some droids to search. One came up holding two pink shards and was promoted to Lieutenant.
Imperius pocketed the shards and returned to a dropship.

The Reptile looked at her suspiciously, unsure as to the truth of her words. He finished mending his pants and set them on a nearby crate.
