Takeda finishes with the scan of the underside of the ship, but finding nothing is almost as bad as finding something... Are you ever really sure you have looked well enough? Climbing up onto the top of the ship he continues the search for any hitchhikers, electronic or otherwise.

As Cait passes Gin he tosses her his hat.
Hey thanks! That will help Gin. She puts the hat on stuffing her hair up under it hiding her hair completely. When he hands her the jar of grease. She grimaces but takes it.
Thanks Gin. She hands the jar to Phedra. You better do it you can see what you are doing.
Anything you can that might be useful Gin. Just be careful okay?
Cait makes faces as Phedra liberally puts grease on her face and hands.

~chuckling at cait's displeasure he looks at phedra~ "feel free to use the whole jar on her"
~Streching he walks down the ramp orienting himself rather quickly to the change in location he takes on a compleatly non-assuming lazy slouch looking almost entirely like a mechanic or manual aid he looks around before sending a lazy question towards takeda changing his voice to a gravely sound~ "yo cap we got some free time need to strech my legs somethin fierce and get i some goo ol drinks in my system"
~he chuckles as he slowly wanders down the ramp looking at the enviornment around him lazely~

Takeda calls down form the top of the ship as Gin exits, hoping Gin catches on what is said is as much for the benefit of prying ears as much as for him.
"No problem, we are stuck at this facility until we get clearance to head further in anyhow. Just keep your com on, if we get word we are cleared, I doubt the Aure'x will be happy about us having to hunt around for your inebriated backside."

Phedra chuckles at Gin's comment. Cait to Gin. Don't encourage her. She is doing fine on her own, thanks.
When leaves grabs the jar away from Phedra. Enough. I need to change now.
She closes her eyes and concentrates. She shifts her features and color of her hair and eyes.
She makes them plainer, more nondescript and human.
She is now a human female with light mousy brown hair and pale blue eyes. Her features are plain and not very memorable. Not ugly but not pretty either.
She walks to the cargo bay followed by Phedra who has shifted into her cat form.
Cait says to Takeda in a voice very unlike Cait's lower and more throaty with a trace of a spacer's accent.
Goin' to stretch my legs Cap'n and get something for this dry throat be back soon.

Cait gives Takeda a slight salute in acknowledgement of his order.
Will do Cap'n.
She then leaves the ship.
Phedra follows after her but first looks at Takeda and gives him a wink and a meow.

~looking over his shoulder at T he chuckles lazily pulling out a com and making a show of turning it on before putting it away~ "couldn't give two piles of wamp sheet at their displeasure, but cap i be good stick ta one maybe two shots aft ta all jobs ain't easy to come by"
~looking over his shoulder at cait he surpresses a chuckle~ "well i'll be i ain't sure of this place where oh where can i find me a shot ol ta good stuff?"
~looking around he makes a show of being a lazy drunkard of a man not worth anyones time~ "wonder if any one gots any iders where the booze be?"
~whistling a little tune he wanders in a direction easdropping effortlessly in on every conversation as he passes by keeping an ear out for anything they may be of some importance but not totally sure what makes it into that catagory~

Cait follows slowly in Gin's wake using a slouching, lazy walk. She asks someone for directions to the nearest bar and then heads in that direction. Phedra trots at a distance following her in the shadows.
She listens to the conversations around as she walks to pick up the general feel of the place as she looks for the bar.

~walking for a couple more hundred more yards gin looks at a random woman~ "excuss me would a perrty lill thin like ya know where the local pub may be, i jus' got here an i need a a goo ol shot could ya point me in ta righ way" ~after about 30 seconds the woman finally manages to deciper gin's comment and glares at him pointing at the pub cait went into before speaking disgust in her voice as she doesn't even bother looking at him smelling the grease on him~ "it's that way now leave me alone"
~grinning gin turns intentionally stumbling~ "thank yer, ooh one shot two shot four shot three, ur i di tha wron"
~walking in his incredibly relaxed stance he makes his way to the bar easedropping on conversations along the way gathering small bits of gossip about what might be the reason for the security increase, and discarding the usless information such as the deviants and kinky conversations and the ones about how who annoys who, reaching the bar he runs up to it tripping once on purpose before hugging one of the wall people turning away from him in disgust~ "o bab i nee tis"
~walking inside he scans the bar before ordering a shot of whiskey and leaning against the bar~
"oh one shot fou shot ree shot i thinks me needs more booze" ~he mumbles his ears perking up as he listens in on every conversation within 30 yards of him"

Cait following Gin has a hard time not laughing at his masterful performance as a drunk spacer. She just hopes he doesn't get carried away and gets himself into trouble.
She follows him into the bar a few moments later scans the area and walks to the bar to order. She thinks a moment and orders a Tihaar. She then walks over to empty booth near some other spacers who are talking about the conditions on Kuat. She unobtrusively listens while she sips her drink wondering why Nick likes Tihaar so much. Give me fruit juice any day over this stuff. She thinks.
Phedra sneaks in when someone enters distracting the bartender and hides in a dark corner near Cait's location.

Even though it had only been days since this nightmare started, Ayu'lesh felt like it had been months. Between trying to avoid being caught by either KSF or Murza's goons, and trying to find one of the underground doctors that had the needed medicines for the blasted rot she caught, she was about at the end of her strength.
As she ran ungracefully down the corridor, she looses her balance once again and falls. Her head spinning, she tries to rise but does not succeed till the third attempt. She looks back over her shoulder only to see Diplado round the corner with two more goons. It was just her rotten luck that they happened to catch the same transport she had snuck onto to come out to Redrish.
She makes it to the next corner, only to see down at the next junction another of Murza's henchmen, hoping he has not spotted her, she ducks into the nearest hanger-entry alcove and tries the door.
"Please be open, please be open, please be open..."
The door hisses open as her hand hits the button, nearly collapsing again as she slips inside. Inside she finds a larger than usual "light" transport, which happens to have the ramp open. Her desperation overcoming her better judgment, she stumbles over and heads to a dark corner of the cargo-hold of the ship, among the neatly stacked crates.
*********************
Takeda was just about to come down from the top of the ship, but he spots something stuck in the slight gaps of the plating of the hull. As he is bending down to fish out what happens to be a sizable chunk of industrial grade coursca, the door hisses open.
Flattening himself against the top of the hull, he watches the red haired girl in ratty clothes stumble her way to his ship and go in. For a moment he is not sure if it might be Cait, or possibly even Phedra, but the size and movement was all wrong for either of them, and there is something else... fear, he can even smell it on her.
Knowing that if Cait or Phedra had run into that level of trouble, they would either be retuning together, or he would have had a com from one of them. he waits for a moment pondering what this is all about.

~Gin while listening picks up a little chatter from someone that looks somewhat offical about some man and a bunch of ships causeing a problem which triggered the increase in security dubbing it a rumor he stores it away thinking little of it as he listens in on another conversation picking up the words bald and man in the same sentence~ "oh the worl nees a shot a shot a shot oh ta worl nes ta relxaa"
~looking around he decides to order another shot as he slips down sitting/ leaning against the bar as he reaches up and grabs the shot
~downing a second shot he tries to stand only to fall down on his face with a heavy thud pulling out his com he puts it up next to his head~ "uh cap da i nee ta be bak yet uh ya kno wat i'm comin bac"
~dropping credits on the bar he wanders out tripping frequently moving very slowly~

Cait's picks up similar information to Gin's with the added information that several people had run through the array causing problems and fighting. They had destroyed one section of the array by some kind of explosion or something. They weren't sure just what.
She watches Gin stumble out in another fine performance of a drunk spacer. She chuckles to herself. She waits for several minutes before she finishes her drink. She then follows him out. Phedra anticipating Cait leaving as already snuck outside waiting for her to leave.
They walk slowly back down the street toward where the ship is. Cait is pondering what she has learned. She has opened herself up to the Force here and is sensing that there has been a major Force disturbance just recently. Which matches the description of what the spacers were saying about the destruction caused to the array.

A few moments after Ayu'lesh entered the hanger, a small convention of organized thug types takes place outside the door. Diplado briefs the other six and then heads off elsewhere down the corridor. As the six near humans walk over to the door and enter they draw blasters.
Meanwhile inside, Ayu'lesh huddled up in a corner fights to stay conscious.
