STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

"No, now it just means we have to deal with you instead of getting away from you for a while..." Rianna mutters. "What do you need us for, then? To do your fighting?"

"Yes," says Rand, smiling faintly.

"I don't mind," Galder says. "I love one raucous spacer town just as much as the next."

"It is not the town that I am worried about," Rand says. "The jungles of Vorkuda are dangerous, and the tribal natives have a lethal reputation."

"Of course the jungles are dangerous. They're jungles," Rianna replies.

"Precisely," Rand says. "I figure you can use this time to vent any... frustrations you may have."

"Awfully trusting of you to come alone," Galder says.

"You will need me to access the Holocron," Rand says.

"Is this holocron supposed to hold anything special on it? And just what sort of lethal reputation do these natives have?"

Maybe I'll vent my frustration on you... she thinks to herself.

"I do not know specifics," Rand says. "We can ask around when we get to Vorkuda."

"Well then, what's keeping us here in the relative safety of our hidden base?"

"Nothing presently," Rand says. "Prepare your things. We shall take The New Beginning, if Xavier permits..."

Well, if that's that, then Rianna's going to just shrug and leave.

Dak will prepare himself for the trip.

"How much of a disaster do you see this being?" Rianna comments to Dak as they leave.

"With any luck, not as bad as last time." Dak pauses. "So, worse."

"And we have to deal with Rand at the same time...amazing," Rianna says.

"Sounds like an opportunity for plenty of trophies," Galder says grimly. He is packing his usual gear, though Dak recognizes the oversized assault rifle that Galder lugged around back in the day.

As far as stuff goes, Rianna's not bringing anything unusual. Lightsabers are all she needs, as far as weaponry goes, after all.

Dak will take his sabers and knives, packing light.

"Maybe we can feed the squid to these hostile natives..." Rianna comments nastily. "We don't even know what this holocron is supposed to have on it."

"Special holocron-y stuff, of course," Dak says. "Tentacle care products, skin bleach, how to keep your metal heart from rusting..."

"Hopefully more than the last one we went after," Galder snarls.

"I am still convinced that Rand sent us out on that errand simply to get rid of the two of us," Rianna replies. "It seems to be something he likes to try doing."
