Aboard the Jade Shadow.
Mara wakes shortly after Luke, spends a few minutes in the 'fresher, and changes into a dark grey combat jumpsuit. She straps her utility belt around her waist and hooks her lightsaber onto it. Next she raises the left sleeve of her jumpsuit and straps her hold-out holster to her wrist, and after checking its power levels, she slides her hold-out into the holster and pulls her sleeve back down.
Grabbing her thigh holster, she straps it to her thigh and puts the SSK-7 heavy blaster pistol in its place.
Steaming cup of caf in hand and munching on a ration bar, she enters the cockpit. "Goooood morning, my farmboy," she says between bites. She leans down and kisses his cheek. "How're we looking? Should be ready to revert to real space soon." Mara sits down in her pilot's chair and looks over the instrumentation while sipping her caf.

Luke grins at the kiss like a schoolboy. "Things are looking good Red. We are almost there and it's been nothing but smoooooooth sailing." He takes a sip of his hot chocolate. He gets up and grabs two more ration bars, gives one to Mara, and keeps one for himself. "No telling when our next meal will be since we are hanging with Pap and Gert." He laughs.

"Very good." The countdown to reversion clock reads ~5 minutes. "I'm going to power up the weapons systems...just in case there are some unfriendlies in the area."
Mara flips a switch and the Shadow's impressive weapons system starts to come to life. Countdown clock now reads under a minute to go. Placing her hand on the hyperdrive lever, she watches the timer...3...2...1...
Mara pulls the lever and the ship reverts to realspace. "Here we are: the graveyard planet. Not much to look at." Activating the sublights, she positions the ship with its nose facing the planet. "Any sign of the Night Stalker?

Luke checks the readings. "Nothing yet, but they may be cloaked for some reason. Luckily there is nobody else out there but us at this time."
He stretches out with the Force and doesn't detect anyone nearby. "Nope, nobody but us."

"Well I'm going to keep weapons activated anyway. And don't tell me I'm paranoid either, Skywalker. I just prefer to be prepared. You never hear of anyone getting killed from over-preparedness."
Having put the ship into orbit around Boz Pity to wait for Pappy and Gert, Mara stretches in her seat. "I hope they get here soon, I am itching to get off this ship and DO something."

Luke laughs at Mara's impatience. He sits back and relaxes, and begins to go through some Jedi alertness techniques in his mind. "Would I ever attempt to say that you are paranoid? Over-prepared?" Laughs again. "They will be here soon enough."

She turns to him and smiles sweetly. "No, I suppose you wouldn't say I'm paranoid because you know I'd deck you." She laughs and taps her fingers impatiently on the pilot chair's armrest. Looking down at the misbehaving fingers, she wills them to keep still.

the countdown reaches thirty seconds and he puts his caf in the cup holder....taking the yoke in his hand he pushes the communication button. "We will coming out of hyperspace in 25 seconds dear. Wanna come up here and run the sensor array?" Looking out the window he mentally counts down the time left.........

She walks into the cockpit of the Stalker just as shes reverting to real space. "Could have warned me sooner, I was getting a caf." She sets it down and sits in the copilot's chair.
She scans the sensor readings but they tell her what the Force already told her as they reverted to real space.
"Shadow, this is the Night Stalker. Glad to see you joined the party Skywalker. Try not to lose any appendages on this little vacation ok Brother in law?" She smirks.

He reads the radar and vectors towards the Shadow..."Well here we go Gerty this is gonna be fun."

"Yes dear, never in a million cycles. And by the way, they're here."
Luke opens the comm channel in response to Gert's comment. "Hey, I thought you guys said this was going to be a piece of cake?"

Mara rolls her eyes and shakes her head at Luke's comment.
To Pap and Gert: "Took you long enough, old man. You want to give us a heads up on this adventure of yours, or are we supposed to guess?"

"Did we say piece of cake? We meant to say tough like an old nerf long in the hoof. Oops. Our bad." She chuckles.
"As far as I know, we are supposed to be exploring a particular area of the surface looking for a door. No idea what kind of beasties we might encounter. The planet is not inhabited. It's a grave yard."
Speaking of beasties she thinks... and makes an inventory of her weaponry mentally.

" To be honest Sis I'm just as much in the dark as you...but we can talk about it on the ground. And don't worry I brought plenty of supplies for an extended stay if needed" He closes on the shadow and should start turning towards the planet. But it is his sister and he is a bit crazy so he rams the throttles forward and skims inches over the Shadow and breaks hard for the landing zone.
