Kera

Giving a grin as she shoves some of the parts out of the way gently with a foot, Kera nods to the woman. "We found something. Pretty sure it belongs to you. I think what we scavenged will more than make up for the trouble." She puts a little more effort into moving the parts out of the way so the platform can be unloaded.

"I gotta be honest. I don't think we got rid of your problem. We just slowed 'em down. You want my advice, you need to look into some serious self-defense here. Eventually, they'll come back, and they'll probably be more serious about it. Only way to actually stop something like that from happening is to be stronger than them. Make the risk not worth the reward kind of thing."

The woman waves down some other villagers to help unload the platform and says, "Does that mean you don't want the salt?"

She looks a little perplexed about the rest of the conversation, but her son arrives for the end of Kera's lecture and says, "We'll see what we can do. Have a nice flight and stop by again if you're in the market for salts."

Kera

"Not unless you want to give the water back." She offers what minimal assistance she is capable to get the platform out of the ship, but mostly just keeps herself out of the way. "Good luck to you folks. I hope you catch a break."

She gives them a friendly salute and hits the button to shut the cargo bay doors as soon as they're clear. Not bothering to actually go up the stairs, she calls up them, "Corran, take us to the coordinates to pick up the salts!" Then she just holds onto the railing with her good hand.

The woman smiles slightly and says, "It its all the same to you, we'll keep the water. We have more than enough salt. You are welcome to it."

As she walks away, her son says, "Try to keep it off the internals of the speeders or they'll corrode on you."

...

The flight to the salt 'factory' is short and uneventful. Having heard about the arrival, the workers have already stacked 50, cubes of salt out near the platform. The cubes, each a meter on a side, are stacked two cubes high in a neat grid 5x5. Waiting out near the cubes is a droid operated wheeled scoop lifter.

With nothing hazardous nearby, Corran is able to take his time landing and once the cargo bay doors are open, the droid starts loading the cubes while the crew stands by watching.

Once everything is loaded, all that is left is a destination(and astrogation check).

Kera

Hitting the button to shut the cargoi bay once more, Kera takes the stairs all the way up to the bridge with the intention to set up the astrogation. We need to resupply, but we can go a couple of days. Hmm. "Just get us up into space for now. I gotta pick someplace to go. What kind of place would value salt, but not really water?" The question is asked rhetorically as she peruses the starcharts.

[Graybacca]

Yes Ma'am, Corran Left the ship off and heads for space, Corran think for a moment as he pilots the ship about Kera questions, finally Corran Says, How about Utapau i once heard that they export water, i believe they are also the home of a major starship manufacturer maybe we could buy some upgrades for the Mule too.



((Take 10 on pilot check for a total of 20))

Kera

"Uh, okay...I don't have random stuff like that memorized." She starts working on the astrogation to Utapau.

Astrogation check: 17

Corran lifts the ship off sending a cloud of white dust in every direction and heads for orbit. By that time Daine manages to finish off Nate's charisma upgrade. Nates rolls up to the bridge and assist's Kera in her jump. Not too bad, given the distance... should be about 68 hours, 7 minutes, and 30 seconds... or so.

Engage. The stars streak and the ship jumps to hyperspace.

{{ You've got quite a lot of down time... anyone want to make weapon upgrades, ship repairs, or the like? Nate will self repair for that time. }}

Once Trill hears about the jump he says, "We've got about a 6 day supply of water. Just in case we can't acquire any on Utapau, I'd like to suggest we try to conserve a much as possible. Assuming the captain is okay with that?"

[dauphinous]

Kera

"Yeah," Kera says as he takes the stairs down, "that's fine. I don't really think it'll be an issue, but sure, we can do a little conservation for a couple of days." Crossing over to her and Daine's cabin, "I need some rest. It's been a long damn day." With this, she disappears into the room.

FYI... we seem to be into page 50... so new IC thread.
