"I defaced a statue of the Emperor..." he says, fearfully. He's pretty small.

Well Con will use observation as well, for anything really, not sure if he would know or know of the associate ...

Because defacing statues is boring.

And too easy.

Putting Rianna's underwear on it, on the other hand...

...I can't even do anything but laugh in response to that one.

Seriously though...fly in an uncontrollable speeder over a cue 5 miles long to a forum full of laser towers and guards, killing them all and last second assassinating a tax collecter then trying to escape vs. peeing on a statue.

True we would have to drink a lot before, but I'd take that risk...

I think it's because of who we are and what we are capable of that we needed to do something more extreme...?

Because you are too dangerous. You needed to do something very serious else he would have just killed you.

Nor would your capture have looked credible...

Yup, as I thought.

Galder has been pretty quiet after being led away from the Emperor's court. He is unsure what to make of Kuylen's apparent death. Part of him reasons that Kuylen has faked his demise multiple times now and this could just be another one. Part of him feels that there might be some finality to this one.

Haron will look at the fella next to him and ask him "So... nice weather, aint it?" trying to make some small talk to pass the time

"That's it? I must say that is bad luck."

"The Emperor takes things like that personally..."

A rumble. The ship is taking off. This is literally a cargo hold, not designed for passenger convenience. Your teeth are already vigorously chattering into each other.

Xavier waits for his teeth to stop chattering, "So why would you do that then?"

Galder will tear some of his shirt off and put it in his teeth, in order to cushion them and keep the chattering from bothering him. He makes little effort to talk to anyone and just points to the cloth if anyone bothers him for something unimportant.

Secured in, you don't have that much movement, Galder. Your arms are strapped in.

It doesn't ease off as the ship lurches unsteadily into hyperspace.

"I didn't think I'd get caught!"

As for the other prisoner...

You cursed the luck that brought you here, Rah. Your latest bounty was a financial auditor in the Treganna Void, a empire founded by pirates outside the Republic and run on fake trappings of a proper society that are little more of a cover for tribute to the king- Rivas being the latest in a long line of such kings.

(Well, not literally a line. Pirates often take power the old fashioned way).

What you misjudged was the importance of this auditor, Rivas' personal accountant. You killed your man but you didn't make it out the compound- and Rivas has exiled you to the penal colony of Datura, from which no man has ever escaped. Seeing as most ships cannot even enter the Void that Datura is in, there's never any chance of rescue.

But when you saw Galder and some of the others on this ship also, you know now the Force had something in mind. This does not necessarily make you any less annoyed- you were never the same after the Ghost Citadel. Fevered dreams haunt you still. You left them because... you couldn't handle life with them. But you cannot fight destiny.

As the ship takes off, Rah looks about him, teeth rattling. He stares curiously at Galder, then Rianna, Dak, and Rand as if he knows them. The others he kind of disdains at before looking back at Galder with a spark of recognition. "I know you..."

Suddenly above the noise of ships engines he starts laughing and breaks into a slightly annoying song

"hahaha, what is this?
What do I smell?
A gaggle of nurf terds?
All bound for hell!"

"What brings them here?
What can it be?
A band of odd misfits
In deep shit with me..."

He then looks a bit confused, quietens up and looks away

(Heya guys, couldn't stay away forever! 😊 )

Dak stares at Rah for a moment before looking at Galder. "Is that... Rah singing?"

(Woo! Rah is back! Yay someone else to eventually bring to justice! Swift saber-y Justice.)

"Yeah getting caught is very bad, what is your name?" Xavier asks while he starts to hear the singing.

"You guys know that guy?" Con asks Dak.
