6. OK, you've made your point...

[Renekin Skywalker]

"Sure," Alio said. "You guys take a break."

M-3TO looked over at Vex. "Do note that most decks are not, yet suitable for a humanoid presence." It stated.

After a few minutes, a pair of astromechs appeared. One looked rather thrown together.

"Ah, NAV-7 has been repaired," M-3TO explained, for the benefit of the audience.

Alio eyed the wobbly droid suspiciously.

NAV-7 made a rather idignant sound about being made to work again as it plugged into a terminal. And then another one about how some idiot put their stars and the wrong place and then lost a planet.

[Mierin]

Jessa raises an eyebrow as she asks, "What do you mean some idiot put their starts in the wrong place? How exactly do you lose a planet?"

[dakota]

"Thanks M3, we'll be careful." Vex replied, though he knew it was safe where he intended to go. " We should start bringing other floors online though, shouldn't we?"

He glanced back at Jessa as she stopped, "Problem?"

[Renekin Skywalker]

"Star shift = significant," NAV-4 Intoned. If possible, it sounded more educated than the other astromechs. "Predicatable, since P(Long deactivation)≫0. Unhappy ∵ Reality ∩ missing Alderaan."

Alio perked up, not expecting such droid eloquence from the likes of NAV-4.

"It's not missing," He stated, definitively. "It was destroyed."

"Sith superweapon = active?" NAV-4 squeaked.

[dakota]

"The Sith? No, the Empire are responsible." Vex replied softly. He hesitated as he turned back to Alio, "On second thought, I can hang around here so you can get a break, Captain. If you want one?"

[Mierin]

Jessa simply nods at Vex and says "And now you see what my issue is. How exactly can you destroy a planet like that?"

[Renekin Skywalker]

"One single weapon," Alio replied, interrupting them. "On a space station - "

"a^b underestimation re: Sith ≅ frequent. Machinations, max > ⌈x⌉ as min < ⌊x⌋. Evil is σ_X for..." NAV-4 was answering.

"That is quite the way, yes," M-3TO interrupted. "You had mentioned a break. With NAV-4 on the bridge during a hyperspace jump, there is no need for concern."

"P(NAV-4 = competent at navigating) := 100%" NAV-4 tweeted.

"More than a break," Alio said getting up and heading for the lift. "I need a drink. NAV-4, set a round-about course for the Outer Rim."

NAV-4 beeped and affirmative.

M-3TO motioned Vex and Jessa to the lifts as well. "This way, if you would like."

[dakota]

Vex shook his head, "Okay, this droid is going to give me a headache." He started to follow Alio when he thought about the course he had asked for, then glanced at Jessa, " Captain, shouldn't we be rendezvousing with the rest of the Alliance? This ship could come in handy for the fleet."

[Renekin Skywalker]

Alio looked and grin. "No one said we would actually end up on the rim." And he left the bridge.

[dakota]

"Then why the round about route?" Vex asked as he followed the captain.

[Mierin]

Jessa follows Vex and the captain and raises an eyebrow at Vex's question. "I would assume it's so we avoid detection?" she asks the two mildly.

[dakota]

Vex considered arguing, but since he rarely won arguments with his wingmate, he let it slide. "I guess."

He wanted to go explore where they had encountered the stranger, but with Alio off the bridge, he knew it would not happen. The strange encounter had done nothing but put questions in his head.

[Renekin Skywalker]

"Exactly," Alio said, as his lift door closed, leaving the pair for the next one.

The door of the second slid open.

'Shall we go?" M-3TO asked, going in and waiting for them.

As the droid turned to face them, a whisper of a feeling breathed its way from the elevator cab.

[dakota]

"Where are we going?" Vex asked as he boarded the lift hesitantly

[Mierin]

Jessa follows the others, and enters the elevator cab without hesitation as sh waits for M-3TO to answer Vex's question.
