"I from what was on those thugs, I could not find any reason why they were chasing her. I guess we will have to wait until she wakes up to see if she knows why they were.
I mean all she has is a few odds and ends, and and these three hydro-spanners..."
Takeda, gingerly rummaging through the contents of her home made satchel, pulling out a cloth wrapped bundle that unfurls to reveal a pair of hydro spanners and a black and silver handled object of about the same size...
"Oh... this is a nice one... ummm, Cait? Is this what I think it is?
Takeda holds up the object for inspection, keeping his fingers well away from the activation plate, it slightly clunky form managing to look small in his big blue hands, but the dull black shrouded emitter still manages to give it a very "terminal" looking quality.
"Well.... that might explain it..."
Takeda turns to Gin,
"First door on your right, right next to this room is the facilities... Oh and the little bin on the top next to the galley door is the clothes cleaner. Check the closets under it for towels, I think that is where Dweezel stashed them this time.

~gin looks at the objectsfor a second before looking in the direction takeda designated~ "thanks give me a minute" ~gin grabs some cloths and walks to facilities quickly washing, then he starts audilby cusing as he searchs the closets for the towels before digging around~ "okay there are no fraking towels" ~putting his fresh cloths on he walks out cloths ticking to him and his hair pulled into its typical wolf tail~
~looking at takeda he glares~ "i am going to dismantle your droid and make a toilet out of it"
~looking at the objects in his hands while wringing out his hair~ "so what pray tell might those be? and depending on what they are can i examine them"

Cait nods and continues to play as she listens to Takeda. That is not surprising she would have hydro spanners.
When he takes out what he found and unwraps it and pulls out the things from the bundle she leans forward.
She raises an eyebrow when she sees the black and silver handled object that is "not" a hyrdo spanner.
If you think it looks like a light saber I would say yes.
Hmmm....black and silver. This looks familiar I have seen it before somewhere just recently. She frowns trying to remember where she has seen it.
You think maybe she stole it? And that is why they were after her? Either that or it is hers and they were trying to steal it from her.
Seeing Gin come back in with his clothes sticking to him. Problem Gin?
Phedra looking at the black and silver hilt of what looks like a light saber. When Cait says it looks familiar. Phedra looks closer and says. That looks like Mara's saber to me you know Luke's old one that he gave her.
Of course! That is why it looks familiar. Then Cait frowns. No, I don't think it is the hilt is little different than this one is. But how did this girl end up with it?

~gin looks at cait with an eyebrow raised his voice slightly annoyed~ "no no problem cait i'm just a little wet nothings wrong at all, and ploting how to turn a droid into a toilet"
~looking at the saber gin really cocks an eybrow~ "i seriosly thought that you guys protected those things with a bloody passion more so one that old and valuable"
~looking at it he with an urge to run tests on it he decides to follow his better judgement and check his gear skimming through the boxes inventory~ 'okay everythings good here" ~grabbing his rarely used throwing knives he starts to sharpen them years of experience aiding him in the task~
"so my question would be how did that thing get into some unknowns hands, and did the person have anything else on them datapad anything."
~remebering back he looks at takeda~ "yo you get anything off those punk arse thugs coms comps anything?"

Takeda looks over at Cait:
"No clue, could be either... do you think she is a Jedi? Remember they asked us if we were Jedi, but I have trouble believing that lot were undercover security in any fashion... even deep cover people are not that good at being scum.
Takeda listens to Phedra then looks over to Cait, tilting his head in curiosity at her rather cryptic comment and frown.
Turning quickly to Gin, but not in a threatening manner, "I have had to put up with it for a couple of decades now... I get first dibs on taking him apart
Takeda head then returns to a state of turning back and forth between the other speakers like he is watching a tennis match as Gin inquires to Cait about her speculations as to how the girl obtained it. And then the question to him about the coms and items on the thugs.
Takeda fishes out the com chips and hands them to Gin... "Feel free to take a crack at it."
Takeda then looks back over to Cait, and then idly down at the saber in his hands... Pointing it in a safe direction away from anyone, he hits the activation plate, with a slow an ominous energy hiss the blade comes to life.
"Well, answers that question... it works... funny, I did not know they came in red."

Oh dear Gin. What did Dweezel do or not do? Yes, we do and each is unique to it owner. So the question is who's is it? And how did she get it if it isn't hers?
No, she isn't a Jedi or at least not one I know. She might have been trained by someone in hiding. But she looks a little too young for that unless.... she is older than she looks.
They used to come in many colors it depends on the crystal or crystals used as the focusing crystal. Though the ones who usually use red blades are the Sith. Most jedi blades were either green or blue because crystals were hard to come by during the times of the Empire.
So judging from the blade color this was a Sith blade not a Jedi. And before you ask they are harder to come by than a Jedi blade.

"the bloodly piece of scrap metal took all the towels"
~listening to cait he chuckles~ "so the question still stand how the hell did she get it, andcan't you run some form of scan to test age possibly by cellular division rate or something like that figured you might have a means to that since every species show age differently"
~looks at takeda while retrieving the sim cards~ "okay okay you get dibs it is your droid anyway"
~chuckling he looks at the blade~ "takeda my blue friend you should have seen the man that trained me his sabers were some seriously odd colors though what they were eludes me worried more about not losing my head."
~pulling his datapad out he unlocks it and sets it to a touch pad setting setting the sim cards next to it~ "give me a few and i can make a general program to track these things without them being able to be traced to us"
~looking at the datapad his fingers start to slowly dance across the keys slowly gaining in speed before long they are mearly a blur to the normal eye as line after line of code flashes into being~ "by the way takeda how much longer are we gonna be here"

Takeda quickly snaps the blade off when Cait says the word Sith.
"Oh, I am sorry. I hope that did not disturb you." Takeda tucks the hilt into his belt next to his knife for the time being...
After Caits addition of a Sith saber being more valuable than a Jedi's; Takeda chuckles slightly before he speaks, the kind of chuckle one makes when they are nervous about a question being answered truthfully... "Is my nature as a money grubbing merchant that obvious?"
As Gin speaks Takeda nods, to each in turn, a grin creeps across his face hearing about Gins training, one can appreciate a good blade but Gins right, when they are coming at your head it is harder to take the time to really see them for what they are.
In response to the final question. "possibly we should take a nice quick jaunt elsewhere... say the nearest uninhabited start or something to drop of some cargo and lighten our load. Any suggestions?
Somewhere along the line of the conversation, Ayu'lesh partially wakes, she maintains her composure and only barely cracks and eye, only enough to get the barest idea where people are in relation to her. She is in a huge bunk, clean sheets too... There are 3; no, 4 people here; she feels better and healthier, though starving; a woman, she thinks, it seems to be where one of the female voices come from is playing a harp... Either she is already dead and gone, or these people are not out to do her in, you don't stand around talking and playing the harp with someone you are planning on dumping out the airlock. Her groggy but immediate fears abated, she relaxes more and drifts back off into a wonderful moment of sleep... On a real bed no less, and clean too!

Oh my that wasn't nice of Dweezel.
Yes, that's about it. Hmmm... possibly but not with the things I have with me. I would need the right medical scanning and test equipment. Which I don't have here. One thing I'm pretty sure no matter her appearance she might not be human or not wholly anyways.
Gin is right. Now that we have access to more types of crystals we have a rainbow of blade colors.
Cait shakes her head but smiles. You have nothing to apologize for Takeda. The blade is just that a blade. It is neither good nor evil of itself. It depends on who wields it.
Not more valuable just harder to get them away from their owners. Sith are grouchy when comes to giving up their weapons. Cait says half joking.
Cait shakes her head. No. I don't know this system that well. What are we close to? And I thought you wanted a ship? Won't we jeopardize that if we leave?
Phedra just watches and doesn't say anything.

~not looking up as his fingers truely reach a state of blur as he types out the program he listens to cait with a chuckle~ "well wouldn't your temple have the required equipment for the task cait"
~his eyes looking up as he pops his fingers he scans the room stopping at takeda~ "takeda buddy caits right no weapon is evil as a warrior of any kind you should know that a tool is never evil only that person wielding it canbe, its like saying people don't kill people guns do on their own"
~before his fingers blur again~ "besides we need to dump our cargo soon, besides we need to figure out what to do with your new stowaway."
"besides i need to find a place that i can drum up some buissness that doesn't involve caving someone's skull in or sublty, to top it off if we go somewhere with the ability to contact your order safely we might be able to asertain without a dought the possible owner of the saber correct"

Takeda shakes his head "It should not, they are a company who sells ships, we can come back another time and they will still be ready to take my money... if not they are probably to expensive for me anyhow. And frankly, the cost of potentially being caught with six dead bodies here with how tight security is... that is a cost I am not willing to pay, and certainly not with You and Phedra aboard... I would be hunted by your order to the ends of the next galaxy if I got you embroiled in a scandal here and now... I can see the Tabloid... "Jedi Grandmaster Accused of Murder of Six Innocents!" No thank you... we need to get out of here before someone comes looking."

Cait smiles at Gin's question. Of course it does. Nick and I made sure we had the most update equipment and supplies when we supplied the new Infirmary on Yavin.
But we don't happen to be there. I don't thinkTakeda has that kind of equipment on board unless I'm mistaken? She looks at Takeda for confirmation of this guess before she continues.
Another thing I would have to have her permission to do it. And I can't get that until she wakes up. I could do it without her consent but I rather not because it would be a violation of her trust and I don't want to do that. She looks like she hasn't been able to trust too many people in the past. We will have win hers first then we can go from there.
Cait looks down at Ayu'lesh with a sympathetic glance before continuing. She looks like she could use someone she could trust.
She should be wake up soon I would think and she probably will be straving. I'm surprised she hasn't already.
To Phedra. Phedra will you move the food closer to her? So she can reach it. The smell might bring her around.
Okay Cait. She moves the table closer to the bed.
To Takeda.
Yeah, I see your point. You could always ask Colin to build you one. He probably enjoy designing it for you. After all its only a ship.
She grimaces when he mentions the bodies and the scandal. Yeah that would not be pretty. I take it we take her with us?

Hmmm, I might just ask Colin to do so.
Takeda nods to Cait's question: "Or at least give her the option to... Can you wake her up?"
As they turn to look back as the sleeping girl her one eye cracks open... With a lazy voice, not totally devoid of nervousness, but one odd enough to the circumstance otherwise... "You mean I get a choice, other than a quick exit through an airlock after you pass the last nav-marker?

Good it will give him something to do besides bug Aine.
Cait feels a soft stir in the Force just before Ayu'lesh speaks. Cait starts to say something to Takeda.
I think that won't be...ah so you are finally awake. We were wondering when you grace us with your presence.
She glances at Takeda then back at Ayu'lesh. She sets down her harp. Of course you have a choice. You are our guest not a prisoner. Though we were curious why those men were after you.
She softly touches Ayu'lesh's forehead. Good, no fever.
Are you hungry? We have food for you. She indicates the water and plate of food on the table. If you don't mind me saying it that you look like you could use something to eat and drink.
Do you need help sitting up?

Takeda looks down at the girl.
"If your willing, I will take you to a major star-system nearby, give you 500 credits and let you be on your way with no questions asked, in exchange about not making a fuss about hanging around here... We should go as soon as possible."
"I am starving!" Without any sense of shame the girl sits bolt upright and pigging out as she listens to everyone speaking... Hers has been a hard hard life, and if these people are offering her a brief respite, even if for alterior motives, refusing the opportunity to eat is only going to make it harder to get away. Her mouth stuffed, she nods to Takeda at the mention of getting away.
"This a luxury ship? This food is fantastic!"she blurts out between bites, the sounds slightly distorted she talks around her food.
