Cait laughs. And I hope he hasn't made her mad. Or you might need a new droid.
Alright Takeda. Where do you want these? She says holding up the small container of gems as she follows him to the docking bay.

"Ummm. Those would probably be safest up in one the forward lockers."
Takeda sets the equipment case down gently to not disturb some of the precision instruments in it. He opens the crate and repacks the items into several smaller crates so they are better protected and then proceeds to secure the rest of the load.
Dusting his hands off on his pants he stops by his room as he makes his way forward to the cockpit for a new shirt. Since meeting the Jedi he has been going through clothing faster than normally.
"Looks like we are all set, are you ready to see if your people left anything down below, and see if my experiment works?"

You got it Takeda. Cait walks over to one of the forward lockers. She gently puts down the small container and makes sure it is secure. She then goes back to the main packing area to retrieve her suit and helmet. She then walks back on the ship. She stores the suit and helmet in her locker. She then walks to the cockpit to join Takeda.
Yes, I'm ready. I'm curious to see if it works. She sits down in the co-pilot's chair and buckles herself in. Ready, whenever you are Takeda. Up for some diving? So how does it work?

Looking over his shoulder to make sure Hana is strapped in, he pulls the ship out of the space-dock.
"On the way in while we were in orbit searching for the station I had Dweezel strategically place beacons. That way we will not get lost or flipped around. I think if we descend down into the deeper atmosphere, we should find the bigger and higher quality crystals. Since there is no record anyone has ever discovered anything down there, but the upper reaches have been scanned, if the Sidhe left anything, it would be down deep like that."
Takeda flips a few switches bringing the shields up to a high output and starts the repulsors.
"You ready for this?"

I'm impressed. Sounds like you are prepared. That makes sense to me otherwise someone would have found it by now. If they left anything it won't be easy to find they are good hiding things. I should know.
As ready as I'll ever be. Let's go for it.

Takeda nods, and brings the speed of the Banju-12 down to a very low level and eases the ship down into the clouds, He reaches over and pulls an armature of displays into his view.
"Dweezel, keep a close eye on those repulsor outputs, and hull pressures."
Within moments the view ahead of them decreases to meters, some times the forward arms of the hull disappear into the haze of orange. Takeda flips a switch and a pulsing hum is heard from somewhere in the ship.
"I don't know how well this will work, watching you work with the statue gave me an idea... seems coursca gems energize at a specific frequency... so I set a com relay to pump out low energy pulse, I had a small one already, I just kept using trial and error until my sensing it with the force it hummed when the right frequency is hit... oh and they glow then. To your skill with the force these things should light up like beacons."
Takeda grins to her, then nervously looks at the scrrens as the ship begins to groan under the crushing pressures.
"It is alright... Right Dweezel?"

Cait watches intently what Takeda is attempting to do. She nods at his explanation. That just might work.
Hmmm interesting. Is there anything you want me to do to help? Or have you got it covered?
She looks concerned when she hears the ship groan under the pressure. Problem T?

Dweezel's buzzed reply does not sound all too alarmed. T relaxes some.
"It makes me nervous when it comes on that fast, but pressure levels seem ok. The Clans build ships very heavy. Often they have to be used in combat situations... If you want to be looking to see if you can feel anything Sidhe, I doubt it would show up on my scanners, and I doubt I would know it for what it was if I was feeling for it."
He turns back to his controls and checks his readings and attitude compared with the beacons and then gets a ping.
"We got one! Dweezel, it's up to you now."
As Takeda maneuvers the ship around, a small glowing patch can be seen dimly ahead. With some clicking Dweezel hooks himself up to a junction and starts buzzing to himself quietly as he tries out the new hardware.
A reinforced set of loader droid arms, deploy from the recent addition to the hull of the ship. It reaches out and plucks the glowing stone from its path in the atmosphere, and then retreats into the casing it came from.
"I have a cluster of readings about 100 meters below us, let me know if you feel anything and we can break off and go look."

((Sorry guys, I've been really out of it and sleep deprived lately and my heart hasn't been in it. I'll just pretend I'm on the skipper.))
Hana sat unusually quietly on one of the arms, concentrating on the gas around them with the Force.

((OOC No problem Hana we all have those days. Yep we have dragged you along with us. So no worries.  )) That's is reassuring to hear. Being crushed is not something I want to experience any time soon. I'm glad they built them sturdy. She says with a laugh. Hmmm... Alright I will try. I'm not sure if there is anything Sidhe there or not but doesn't hurt to look I suppose.She crosses her legs and sits Indian-fashion in the chair. She closes her eyes and concentrates tapping into the flow of Force within the gas cloud on Yavin Prime. She unconsciously also begins to hum. In her locker on the ship her harp begins to play on its own. It matches the melody she is humming. She nods when he says they got one to show she heard him but is searching with the Force for any Sidhe items that might be there. When he says he has a cluster of reading about 100 meters below she reaches out with the Force to try and discover if anything is there. Her humming and the music of the harp vibrates along her Force probes and sets off a response from something below. I think I found something about 110 meters down. I'm feeling some sort of response through the Force. I think we should take a look. She says. |

Takeda nods
"Heading down"
The ship tremors as they descend, however nothing catastrophic happens. Takeda maneuvers the ship around guided by Cait's directions.

Yes, we are close to it . You should be able to see it now.
She says her eyes are still closed. She hums again and it sets off a ripple through the Force that anyone Force sensitive that is near to them can feel.
A little to the left about 5 feet and down 2 feet.

Looking for the glow, Takeda almost misses the small square cube only spotting it just before it bumps into the cockpit window.
"Wow! they gift wrap even... I take it this is what you were sensing Cait?"
Regardless if it was or not, he begins to manipulate the arm to retrieve it gently.

She opens her eyes just as the small square cube nearly hits the cockpit window.
Yes, that's it. Wow! It's small isn't it? From the response I got through the Force I thought it would be much larger.
It is a carved box of a jade green color. It is about 4 inches long, 2 inches wide and 3 inches deep with delicate curved legs. The carvings are delicate and floral in nature and cover the entire box. With a silvery filigree latch on the front of the box. It looks like a small jewelry box.

As the box is safely stowed away, Takeda turns to Cait with a raised eyebrow.
"You do not see that every day... You think there might be the remains of a station, colony, or ship further down?"
Takeda looks over at the readings.
"We are doing good so far, but I do not want to push the ship too much deeper, if we get stuck down here... I doubt there is anything handy on Yavin IV that can get us. I promise we will get something to check this out further. Any objection to heading back up making a couple of grabs as we go and then see what it actually is?"
