Keshani, Nightshade, Trax: Parting Ways?

[GM Craig]

Rand is left alone as Doha joins the senators up in the ruined house. Juno Eclipse walks over to her. "Senator Organa has plans to transport you to Alderaan, for implant surgery, Sgt. Rand. It will be my pleasure to fly you there." She turns to the rest of you. "The senators are parting ways after this. They have asked me to take you wherever you wish. Where do you want to go? Trax, if you wish it, Senator Organa has offered you a new prosthetic. He can arrange that on Alderaan, if you like."

[Keshani]

Kesh felt very lost. She didn't know what she was supposed to do. She hadn't been ready for the demand of a sudden decision like that and didn't know if she had chosen correctly.

So she just stood back trying to make herself small and invisible.

She had never been off of Bakura before, other than the various prison experiences and had absolutely no idea what she should do or where she should go.

She also felt suddenly alone again. She was surprised to find how much that made her stomach feel unsettled....

[GM Craig]

['He's right there with the others.]

[Niil Spaar]

Nill came jogging up the trail toward the ships , and slowed to a walk when he saw Nightshade.  Giving the man a bow, he said, "Nightshade, may we speak in private?"  The look on Niil's face was troubled.

[Nightshade]

Returning the bow, Nightshade nods to Niil and follows him to a private place for a conversation.

ooc: Let's move this to my scratchpad so we don't hijack this thread.

[Trax]

Trax gave Juno something of an incrdulous look when she openly mentioned his prosthetic arm. The man wasn't exactly impressed.

"Assuming we all stick together, is Alderaan as far as you take us?"

[GM Craig]

"I'll take you anywhere you like, but yeas. Senator Organa would like you to come to Alderaan so he can do right by you and Rand. After that, he intends to pay for passage anywhere you want to go. After Aldreaan I'll be pretty busy."

[Trax]

"The senator would t happen to have access to a neural regenerator there would he?"

[GM Craig]

She shrugs. "I'm not sure, but he is a man with extensive resources."

[Trax]

"Then he and I need to have an extensive talk.

Are you in a rush to leave?"

[GM Craig]

"We are planning on leaving in the next hour or two."

[Trax]

Trax gave a nod to the woman and then turned to Keshani.

"And what about the two of you?" he asked the young girls.

"The galaxy just became your play ground."

[Keshani]

"I..uh...don't know yet. ", Kesh replied still feeling confused and a bit panicked at the suddenness that it seemed a decision needed to be made.

"I, um, assume you are going to alderaan?"

[Trax]

"Yeah." he replied to the girl.

"I need to make sure Rand there is back on her feet and then get her back to Karvis.

Not sure how long the trip will take, or if we'll be able to reconnect with this group," Trax indicated the official rebellion,

"But it's more time to think about what the two of you want to do."

[Keshani]

"Yeah...", she replied. There was clearly something left unsaid, but without Nim's powers of reading people it was hard for Trax to know what, if he picked up on it at all.

Kesh felt torn. She felt drawn to Trax for some reason. She thought she might be happy hanging out with him for a while. But she was also afraid.

First, she wasn't sure if he was still disappointed in the fact that she had tried to take her own life back on the station. Second, she was still afraid that when he finally realized that she wasn't this Mariah girl that they kept all talking about that he would be done with her and she'd be out on her own again.

And she was afraid of being hurt. She didn't want to like this man. She didn't want to like ANY of them, and then get pushed aside and left on her own. She didn't think she could handle that.

So was it better to just take Maris at her offer and stay on her own now? Limit the possibility of repercussions later?

But feeling welcome and maybe even accepted by the group during the time on the station had almost been addicting in itself. Having felt that she wasn't sure she would be content on her own again.....

"I guess you've got stuff to do on your own then..." she commented, trying her best not to let her feeling of disappointment show in her expression or her voice...
