Access to the Kuat system proper is a highly structured affair, and is in a structured and layered system. With a network of deployed gravity well projectors the Kuat system proper is locked down except for very specific points. As such all Incoming and outgoing traffic unless otherwise cleared by Central control goes through the following points. Passenger/Private/Small-craft traffic: Inbound | Redrish | Ulion | Outbound | Durish | Kidir |
Freight & Commercial Traffic/Large-craft traffic: Inbound | Monadin | Horthav | Outbound | Venir | Renegg |
Military Traffic: Inbound | NAV-KDFI1 | NAV-KDFI2 | Outbound | NAV-KDFO1 | NAV-KDFO2 |

From Hyperspace to Redrish gateway to Kuat:
Probably because most people don't know that much about the Force. The Jedi are just the most well known of them. But we are not the only ones. There are many groups of Force users and they each have their own philosophies. The Grays, the Zeison Sha, the Jensaarai, the Aing-Ti , the Witches of Dathomir and the Sith to name a few.
Probably the next most well known of these are the Sith. Who believe in following the darkside of the force and the acquisition of power.
As they come out of hyperspace. Good. Well are we ready for this? Because it's show time people. So what is the plan Tak?

"Well, we could dock at the station and take on supplies while waiting for clearance... Might be a good time for one of us to poke around and ask questions about what has been going on and why the system proper is locked down. Well, that is if we can get a docking space, it looks very backed up."
Takeda considers for a moment then continues.
"I realy do not want to make too many appearances, even in disguise I will not be able to hide, someone will eventually make a link to the Aure'x being of my species at least... And quiet frankly your face is likely to be too well known. That leaves Phedra and Gin to banter with the station denizens."

Cait nods as she listens. Yes, that would work. Hmm... good point. That rumpus they had will have certain backed things up some. More so if they are still in lock-down.
Cait looks at him.
Yes, you are rather conspicuous. Seeing a Kwa is not exactly an everyday occurrence in most places.
I'm not sure Gin do you think you can do that without giving yourself away?
Cait looks at Phedra when he says Cait's face is too well known and they both smile.
There may be a way around that. I don't have to look like this you know.
Phedra chuckles at that. Cait looks at her and she stops.

"If you are going to be using some of that famous glamor... that would work, that would work very nicely as a matter of fact..."

Yes, you can call it that. And yes it would. But I was thinking of something a little more than just using glamor.
But first we have to figure out what we want to find out and what would be the best persona to adopt for this.

"What did you have in mind?
As far as persona, I would go with something basic and common, something easily forgettable, a ship crew person... Not that I can pull it off, but a normal human spacer... Came in on a light freighter, running errands before heading back out, have both people and goods being transported, went to get a drink and spend a few moments off ship. You know, the basic. Easily believable, and it is truthful enough to avoid people seeing through the deception."
Takeda transmits his ship's port credentials to Control and asks for a bay. After a few moments wait he receives coordinates and docks with the Redrish Station. There is some usual banter back and forth over the com, and finally it comes to the crux of the matter. Will they be taking KDY transport in from Redrish or are they requesting permission to enter the system proper. Takeda responds:
"I am requesting permission to dock at Kuat Array, my passenger is arranging a meeting to purchase a custom vessel... oh, correction... vessels.
Who is your passenger meeting and what is their business?
I do not know who he is meeting yet, they tend to keep to themselves.
You do realize the system is closed, yes?
Yes, I know the system is listed as closed, but my client insisted at coming now anyhow.
Is your a passengers Jedi or affiliated with the Grey Jedi?
What? what would that matter? Honestly, I have no clue if they are Jedi... I have only met a couple of Jedi over the years, but these people do not strike me as the type... No, I have not seen anything that would indicate they are, it is not like they are waving light sabers about.
What is the number of passengers, and what races are they? Also where are you coming from?
I have no idea what race they are, two humans or so it seems and some big guy who is the boss... We came from outside Obroa-Skai, though out last port was where we picked up the Aure'x-Tozama on Courscant. I do not know what else to tell you folks, All I know is I was paid extremely well to bring them here for a meeting, and that I was not to ask questions. And before you ask, I was told my ship was suitable because it had enough headroom... Other than that I have no idea why they did not take a luxury vessel. I just know they came in a transport that one of my crew said came from the Grand Coursca Hotel.
Please hold position, note that due to the recent events compliance is mandatory, failure may result in military action.
Takeda switches off the mic on the com and sits back to wait and looks over to Cait.
"And now we wait I guess..."

Something that works. She says with a smile.
Cait thinks a moment on what Takeda has just said.
common and unforgettable....hmmm I think I can do that.
Phedra snickers at that. Cait glares at her. You find that funny Phada?
Phedra chuckling. You could never be common and unforgettable. Its not in you.
Cait glares at her. We will see.
To Takeda. If I do this they won't know there is any deception. Though some people seem to think I can't do plain and uninteresting. I can handle this.
It is a good thing that alcohol doesn't bother me. Any particular information I should find out or just general about what caused the lock-down of Kuat?
As she listens to Takeda talk to the control.
She raises an eyebrow at the question if any the passengers are Jedi or Grey Jedi but she doesn't say anything until the conversation is finished.
Now that is interesting. They wanted to know if you had any Jedi or Grey Jedi on board. What ever happened I have the feeling involves Corey. She puts her hand on her chin and rubs it as she thinks. Hmm... if he lost his temper for some reason... that might account for this. I wonder what is going on. Do you want me to find out why they would ask about you having Jedi or Grey Jedi passengers?
She looks down at the lightsaber on her belt. I better leave this here. No sense in calling attention to myself with it. But I will need to borrow a blaster or another hand weapon.
She looks down at what she is wearing, a pair of dark gray-green pants, thigh-high brown leather boots, long sleeved white blouse, light silvery-gray green tunic, a healer's belt with pouches and a dark blue hooded cloak.
Do you think this will do or shall I change?

Takeda grins
"Find out what you can, about as much as you can... any extra information will come in handy I am sure. I think there are some normal sized weapons in one of the cases in back. I will go look in a minute, though with security being what it is I would just take a good knife and a com.
I think Phedra might be right this time... yes, you look casual, for Sidhe nobility that is... Plain and simple, your not dirty and your gear is to pristine... Dress more like Hana when she works on the ships.

Cait nods. Got it. I will just get them talking about is going on Kuat. Hmmm... I should talk someone on an outbound ship then if that is possible. Or a Kuati if they will talk.
Hmmm... I still need to carry a blaster I think. If they tell me that I can't bring it pass a certain point then I will bring it back. We need to know what they will allow in certain areas and that is the best way to find. Besides most spacers carry weapons it is part of the business they are in.
Cait wrinkles her nose. Eeww dirty. Not into dirt. She then laughs. Alright, alright I'll change into something grungy. Hana working on ship. Got it.
I better change then.
She walks to the door to that. She says to Phedra. You better come with me and help dirty me up.
She then walks out of the cockpit with Phedra following her.
Phedra says as she leaving. This going to be interesting. She does hate being dirty.

Takeda walks to the cargo bay, and goes over to a series of crates tucked in a corner. Lifting one off another he comes to the one he is looking for, punches in the combo and unlocks it.
A stale odor wafts up as he opens the crate, and one heavy in niter salts. He pulls out a few small containers, and goes through them, retrieving a leather vest of shaved rancor hide, a belt with holsters and then the accompanying blasters.
Out of the bottom of the chest, he pulls one more box, about 18 inches square, crystalline salts forming at the seams of it's lid. He sets in on the stack of crates as he repacks the one container, it needed contents having been retrieved. He absentmindedly speaks out loud, but softly.
"Its been a while since we spoke last, has it not been? Well, you were never much one for holding up your end of the conversation... Figure now is a good time to pull you out, seems like soon you will be going home finally... well, a home at least. Might as well have you bunk with me for the next little jaunt. After that, well, it is not like we will have any more to say to each other..."
Locking the container and re-stacking them as they were, Takeda scoops up the box under his left arm, the other items in his right and heads to the room Cait has pressed into her use.
"Phedra? would you hand these to Cait?"
The smell of metallic salts covering some other odor, is thick in the air for a moment but dissipates quickly as Takeda continues on and takes the box into his room.

When she gets to her room she pulls out her bag and rummages around in it. She pulls out a pair of old pants and long sleeve shirt she uses when she is cleaning and a pair of old boots. She didn't know why she put them in there but she had felt compelled to bring them along. Now she knew why.They are splotched with dirt and paint and the boots are caked with dirt and look like they have about had it. She grimaces and puts them on. She pulls back her hair and braids it in a long braid.
Phedra is guarding the door when Takeda comes up hand her the rancor hide vest, the holtered belt and blasters.
Sure Takeda. She says as she takes them. When he leaves she hands them to Cait.
Cait, Takeda left you some presents. Here take these. She says as she hands Cait the vest, belt and blasters.
Thanks Phedra. Cait says as she slips on the vest, puts the belt on, adjusting it so it will fit. She then slips the blasters into their holsters.
You're welcome Cait.
How do I look? Cait asks.
Hmm... alright but you still look too clean. You need to put some dirt on your face and hands.
Cait grimaces. Do I have to do that now?
Yes, you should.
Cait grimaces again. Alright where do I find some?

Takeda walks back to the the cargo bay once more, and lowers the ramp. He grabs a scanner and heads out to do a thorough check over of the ship.

Phedra thinks a moment.
The cargo bay would a good place to look I guess. They are usually dirty.
Cait shrugs. Okay. Let's start there.
They walk toward the cargo bay.

~Listening intently gin looks around thinking of his options as he chuckles at the thought of the grey jedi which he once longed to join, sighing as they pull out of hyperspace he looks at cait~ "I've spent a rather long time staying off the radar i think i can stay plain and ordinary for this"
~and pulls off his vest before kicking open one of his cases and pulling a side up reveling some severly thrased pieces of clothing including a simple hat that was once wide brimmed but is now not covered in soot with many parts of it burned to a crisp looking just moving it sends a fine layer of grim into the air looking at cait he flicks it to her~ "here use this"
~Pulling out a shirt with tears in it and the front cut open he slips it on takes off the glasses and the rebreather sliding the folder into a pocket in plain view and pulls out a jar of grease covering his hands he runs lines and spots of it in typical places before pouring some into his hair~ "i hate doing this" ~finishing he walks over to cait and hands her to jar~ "this stuff sucks to use but it will help with looking dirty"
~finished he forces his dominence over jester dulling his eye collor dramatically~ "so who do you need me to talk to and what do you need me to ask and what do you need me to do"
