Collan, Kehsnai, Nightshade, Niil, Nim, Trax: Escape from the Death Star

[Niil Spaar]

Niil sighed, but it wasn't from exasperation.  This girl has likely grown up around predators of all types before the Imperials enslaved her.  "Because we're not like the Imperials, Keshani, or any of the galaxy's other low-lives that prey on someone else's bad luck.  This won't be the first time we've risked our lives for someone we've never met before, and it's not going to be the last.  I'm sorry, but you're looking for an ulterior motive that just isn't there."  He shrugged helplessly.  "I don't know what else to tell you."  He thought for a moment, then smiled.  "Tell you what . . . why not at least come with us to Kashyyk first and see and hear everything for yourself? Then decide if you want to stay with us or leave.  But you'll always have a place with us if you want it."

[GM Craig]

The old man chimes in. "You must trust in others, at least this much - we do not have time for this discussion now. Ships are currently sweeping the system looking for us. We must not be here when they arrive."

[Niil Spaar]

Niil nodded his agreement to the old man's words, and gave Keshani a wink.  "At least trust Trax and Nim.  I know for a fact that they'd like you to come with us."

[Keshani]

Her expression was one of stubbornness, but there was a hint of relief as well.

"Can I stay with the droid so it can work on finding the implant?"

[Collan]

Collan shook his head.

"Keshani...between Juno, Niil, Trax, and Nim, life support will be straining. For safety's sake, you'll need to come with us. The Rogue Shadow's systems were really designed for only a small complement. I'm a pretty good field medic and Ch'lana's ship," there was a definitely pang and catch in Collan's voice as he thought of the recently deceased Jedi-teacher and friend of sorts.

"Between the master Jedi and myself we should be able get it off you," Collan explained.

[ooc: Craig, I assume that Collan knows how to do field surgery to extract shrapnel and all that. As well as where slave trackers are normally put and how to find them.]

[Keshani]

The teenage girl visibly flinched away from Collan as he spoke. The thought of trusting him to cut into her....

But it seemed like she didn't have much of a choice, so with a rather dejected/beaten expression she finally nodded and tensely headed in the direction of the other ship.

[OOC: Sure.]

[Collan]

"Niil...when Nim wakes up, have her explain what I did for Trax, okay?"

The smile was half-hearted when he added, "I don't any one believed me when I said that I can talk pretty fast when I need to."

[Niil Spaar]

Niil chuckled and gave Collan a thumbs-up.  "No problem, Collan.  See you on Kashyyk."

[Niil Spaar]

OOC:  Any discussions for Trax, Nim and Niil?  We'll be on board for 2 weeks.
