STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Movement

If Wentar knows where the Temple keeps their big loader droids I'll give Emso directions. If not I'll just wish him luck.

"Hopefully I'll have this thing cut out by the time you get back."

Emso scampers off to find what you need.

It takes awhile (and several times you are tempted to just use your lightsaber) but eventually you have the old unit out! It is just as heavy as the other, so you will need the loader droid to actually pull it from the ship. It is separated at least, and disconnected from any wiring.

Emso returns to report that the Temple appears not to have what you are looking for.

Of course it wouldn't!

Wentar, fairly frustrated at this point, lets out an irritated sigh. "How can we have a starship hangar but no loader droid? Unbelievable..."

Is there anyone else in the hangar? Maybe there's a Jedi with lifting nearby who can give us a hand.

You suppose the Jedi don't have much use for them?

The hangars are quiet today, aside from smallish maintenance droids tittering about some of the other ships docked as they do repair work. A few have done work on your ship too. None are so handy as Emso.

Are there any cargo lifting cranes around? Maybe we can move the Free Flier under it, attach a cable to it and pull it out that way?

The Jedi do not often deal with large cargo, not when flying directly from the Jedi Temple. And most of them do not have ships as large as yours. It seems to be the exception, rather than the rule.

Damn... Wentar's greatest hurdle yet, trying to fix his damn ship.

Okay, I don't suppose there is some where/way a Jedi can requisition a loader droid from somewhere.

Emso suggests just getting your own, if it is going to be this much trouble.

"And then you can use it again the next time you melt something heavy," Emso quips.

Wentar just puts a hand to his head and ignores the quip. Loader droids would be super expensive and out side a Jedi's 'pay' range wouldn't it?

I am really tempted to just go into the Temple proper and find someone with lifting.

"Why don't you just 'convince' someone to give you one?" Emso asks, waiving his hand at you. "Or maybe the Council will give you credits... I don't know. Do you think anyone around will help?"

"That first one would be a pretty abusive use of my powers and this is far too trivial to be bugging the Council about," Wentar says, shaking his head. "I'm unsure, if they've got nothing to do, maybe."

I'm wondering if there's a way I can just order a droid and just have them charge the Jedi Order for it.

It is fair to assume that the Jedi Order can expense some arbitrary purchases for their Knights. That or the Senate does.

Well then! Wentar will go to the... place Jedi go to do that kind of thing? I honestly have no idea what it's called. Requisition office maybe?

We'll call it Requisitions. All Wentar really needs to do is give them the receipt when he has completed his transaction.

Awesome.

"I could probably just charge something like this to requisitions," Wentar says after some thought. "Lets go hunting for a droid."

To the holonet! I'm sure we can find a droid retailer on Coruscant easily.

Certainly. There is not one directly near the Senatorial District (which is where the Jedi Temple and the Senate are situated). It would be a short ride over to the next district to purchase a droid.

Time to find a bus! Unless there are speeders we can just borrow from the Jedi Temple.

As the prequels show, the Jedi are fond of airspeeders for flitting around Coruscant. Being a talented pilot, Wentar can snag one easily for himself, something than can bring back a loader droid.

You fly out to the marketplace you pinpointed and land. The droid warehouse is a short walk from the landing pad.

"Looks like things are finally back on track, Emso," Wentar says, as they make their way to the droid warehouse.

The droid warehouse is nestled into the side of one of Coruscant's multitude of skyscrapers. This is closer to the surface, so sunlight still reaches the platforms that you cross to reach your destination.

A grouping of droids are displayed in front of the warehouse, of all kinds. Most of them look used.
