After entering hyper-space Takeda sighs in relief.
"Well, safely away for now then... It dawns on me that I never had a chance to eat anything at Star-Jammers... Any one want me to fix anything?
Takeda gets up and stretches, then smiles at Cait and Phedra.

Yes, that is good news. *laughs* I haven't either shopping sure gives you an appetite at least it does me. I suppose I could rustle up something in the galley.
Phedra says Don't look at me I'm a warrior not a cook.
To Phedra. Don't worry about I'll do it. I like to cook.
Cait then gets up to walk to the galley. What would you like Takeda?

"There is plenty in there, and if your cooking, I leave it in your capable hands. I have seen what you eat at the tap cafe, so I am not worried. In the mean time I will arrange some things in back so we have something a little more resembling a lounge to use..."
Takeda stops by the workshop and picks up a a small piece of scrap plate, a small power-cell, a modulator, and a bunch of wire. He also grabs some pillows out of one of the storage closet,
He heads into the back and moves some crates around to have a set of seats and a table. He takes a seat while Cait is getting things together in the kitchen and arranges the parts out so that there are little prongs of wire attached to the scrap plate other sets for little rings around them like little basketball hoops, and those run over to the modulator and the power cell. he thinks for a minute and retrieves a few small switches and continues puttering.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Takeda. Cait says with a laugh. But not very helpful. She says with a wink then goes into the galley and starts to rummage around in there.
Phedra follows Cait into the galley and gets in her way until Cait shoos her out of the galley as a nuisance. Delicious smells start to emanate from the galley as she cooks.
Phedra wanders into the lounge. What are you doing Master Takeda? Can I help? She sits down.

Takeda's progress is fairly slow, the wonderful aromas coming form the kitchen perking his interest. He looks up distractedly as Phedra enters the room.
"Certainly... maybe you can help me figure it out... I had this idea for a training game.
Trying to figure out how to make little holders for the crystals, one or a couple of which are energized. Cait helped me figure out that if power at the right frequency is applied to them, they vibrate and glow... and become easy to detect with the force."
So the thought is to make it so one crystal is able to be energized, and people training in the force have to channel and move the energy to one or more of the other crystals... Though I have had no luck so far not shorting it out. Any ideas?
He shows the assorted parts to her as he explains.

Interesting idea. Phedra gently taps a crystal with the tip of her claw weapon. The crystal makes a distinct ringing sound when she does.
Have you tried using sound frequencies in conjunction with the Force? Each crystal has an unique sound vibration pattern.The Force can be used to activate them if you know what they are. Cait does that instinctively when she does her singing. It is one of her talents. The ability to use the life song.
More activity is heard from the direction of the galley. PHEDRA! Come here! I need help carrying this!
Excuse me Master Takeda. Phedra gets up and bows.
Coming! She says to Cait then disappears in the direction of the galley.

"Hmmm, no I had not thought of using sound vibrations, only electrical frequency... I will have to ask Cait about it."
Takeda looks over as Cait calls for Phedra to help.
"By all means"
Takeda puts his project off to the side and makes sure the impromptu longe is as suitable as possible.

Phedra as she disappears into the other room. Do.
Moments later Cait and Phedra come back in carrying some platters and bowls.
Where do you want us to put these Takeda? Cait asks.

Takeda gets up and lends a hand getting everything on the "table".
"Wow, this is the best this ship has ever smelled from cooking."

Thanks Takeda. Cait says as she places the dishes down on the "table".
Oh, I forgot the roast beast. She runs back into the galley.
And comes out with a large platter of cooked meat. She also places that on the table.
Did I forget anything else Phedra?
Phedra shakes her head. No, Cait that was it.
I guess we are ready to eat then. GIN! DINNER IS READY!
Gin comes in to join them.
Cait sits down. Phedra is already sitting.

Takeda sits in awe and pure enjoyment at the aromas and the sight of the food on the table.
"Now I know how an Admiral's table must look. Thank you Cait"
Takeda waits, watching as everyone serve themselves first, just enjoying the first real communal meal served on this ship. He pauses a moment and then pulls his com out and calls Dweezel.
"Dweezel, bring us out of hyperspace and the plot a new course for Obroa-Saki"
He puts his com away before Cait is offended, then pauses to dish up his food. he turns to Phedra, "How often does she actually cook like this, I am only used to seeing her in the tap cafe."

Aw Thanks Takeda. Cait blushes at the compliment. You're welcome Takeda. I enjoyed doing it. I love to cook. I wish I had time to make a dessert as well. Maybe later.
Cait helps herself to the various as she talks to Gin and Phedra enjoying the camaraderie, she doesn't notice Takeda talking to Dweezel on his comm.
Phedra to Takeda in answer. Not as often as she would like. She is kept too busy most of the time with the Infirmary and helping run the Order. But what she is really good at is baking. She lowers her voice so Cait can't hear her. Her cookies have been known to cause fights over them. Too bad she didn't have time to make a dessert.

Takeda pauses and enjoys a mouth watering fork-full. He leans over conspiratorially to Phedra.
"Provided there is not galactic emergencies to control, I think we should come up with some reasons to make sure she gets out to enjoy herself more."
Takeda takes another few bites and then looks up to Cait. "When we get to Obroa-Skai, I will see about getting some better galley equipment and a proper table at least."

Phedra glances at Cait to make sure she won't over hear.
Cait and Gin are joking around not paying attention to Takeda and Phedra.
If you can get her to go. I'm surprised you got her to leave Yavin IV. She works too hard sometimes. No, make that most times.
When Takeda addresses her Cait looks over at him and says. That sounds like a good idea Takeda. The equipment in there has seen better days. I don't know how you were able to cook anything in there without frustrating yourself. I had a hard time and I knew what I was doing.

Looks embarrassed as Cait comments.
"Ummm, what I typical do to food aboard ship cannot be considered cooking... reheating was even something reserved for special occasions"
