Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Jowmum plugs into the last remaining open computer slot on the ship.
I've told the Nav computer to put us slightly off the main road and near a nebula I've been looking forward to observing first hand.

Alright, hopefully we didn't overshoot our destination too far.
I ease the ship out of hyperspace.

Boris Shoots Hailey a glance then nods.
"I think that I am going to make sure that Ishwarr and our guest don't end up cause more trouble trying to put out fires."

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Hailey unclenches her fists and stops biting her lower lip once she can see stars again. "Well, at least we're all still in one piece. And I don't think we missed our target, Tali. We're only half way there; another three days and we might've overshot."
Hailey stands up and comes back to the workshop. "We are out of hyperspace now, and should be at full stop in a minute or two."

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
A large nebula fills the view from the front window. The rainbow of colors is enough to calm anyone who stares at it for longer than half a minute.
I'm going to have a step outside.
Jowmum goes back to the workshop to use the lift.
We are out of Hyperspace, in case anyone was wondering.
Jowmum tries operating the lift and it won't budge.

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
[For future reference: A few pointers on the Star wars universe that may be helpful.
*Once a ship is in hyperrspace, there really isn't much to do until it exits. The calculations are made before hand, and once a ship initiates the jump, it's pretty much going to get to the destination on its own, unless something drastic happens. It's kind of like sliding down a long slide. You have to have effort to get to the top, and to position yourself, but the ride is effortless. Because of this, Jowmum's locking out the computer shouldn't have caused the ship to "jostle". I was thinking more along the lines of life support going out, lights turning off, comms shorting etc. And depending on the system, rebooting the computer may not have fixed the damage. Not going to retcon anymore than we have already, but for future reference...
Also, because of how hyperspace works, aborting a hyperspace jump is an extremely dangerous proposition, and cannot be reliably calculated, even by the best navigators. It's pretty much a toss up whether you will exit into a sun or black hole, or planetary body or into empty space. Most pilots consider it suicide... It's about on the same level of stupid as bailing from a moving vehicle and hoping you land on something soft. And even if you do exit safely, figuring out where you are is very difficult, unless you recognize landmarks. The computer can't do it on its own after a jump is interrupted. Rough time/distance calculations may be done, but not reliably. Again, don't want to retcon, but again, keep this in mind for the future. For now, I guess we just say you got lucky on your exit... ]

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
The miners accompany Ishwarr to see about disarming the "bomb". They aren't bomb experts, but they do know about explosives, and how to rig them, as well as how to contain and direct the blast. They stay well away from the bomb reasoning that if it goes off, the massive wookie might be enough of a meat shield to save them. They do call out instructions and advice...
You are surprised to see the wookie move with a delicacy and a calm and focused deliberateness you would not have thought possible from him. After several minutes so stense you could have sworn the air was about to snap, Ishwarr grunts an all-clear, and everyone begins to breath more easily.

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Ishwarr hands the deconnected explosive to Marv for examination, and the other begins to laugh. A deep, genuine belly laugh; he is soon gasping for air.
Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Hailey rubs her forehead. "What's so funny?"

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Jowmum, who has by now gone back to the cockpit to unlock the lift and set up an encrypted radio to the cockpit, was in the process of activating the lift again when the laughing broke out.
They're laughing at me, aren't they?
He activates the lift and goes outside for a stroll.
I might as well start a new set of calculations while I'm out here.
He starts taking holopictures.

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Darv peeks his head over and joins too. A small chuckle that develops into a roar. Between gasps for breath, Marv attempts to explain.
"That fool [snort] droid. "
"Huh. Thought 3D-4K was smarter than that." Darv chimes in. They both continue their laugh and you can't get anything intelligible out of them for several moments. The laughter is contagious though, especially after the tension, and soon everyone is in fits, even if they don't know what they are laughing about...
15 minutes later, after things calm down a bit...
"I'm afraid your friend was right. These are only setting charges. They have a long burn time followed by a sharp blast that ignites whatever other charges we set. They have enough power that they probably would have damaged 3D-4K pretty badly, and I wouldn't want to stand to close one when it went off, but it's only about as powerful as your average firecracker. Hardly a severe danger to the ship or crew, or suitable for making a proper bomb... To be fair, he only was an administration droid. A derned good one too, before we got that new EV-8D3 model a few weeks back... "
"I think I'm done working with droids though... If an organic goes bad, at least you can tell by their body language and pheremones... But behind that cold, expressionless face... Who knows what they might be plotting... And even the best ones, like our fallen friend here [he toes at 3D-4K's carcass] can easily be subverted or hacked... Yup, no more droids for me..."
"All this trouble has made me powerful hungry... You got any grub?"

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Jowmum came back in after he finished making a hologram of the nebula. He spent about 10 minutes outside.
There is no way an astromech fiddling with a computer terminal is that funny.
He goes and just observes from the lift while everyone is laughing. He comes out when people recover.

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
"If it were not dead already, I'd strangle it!" During the laughing spell, Hailey walked around the workshop until she found the droid's blaster. "Nope, sorry no real food unless one of you gentlemen would like to cook; you don't have to go hungry though, there's always the ration bin. Freshly restocked too. But I am not going to cook. I've got a burn on my neck, a headache the size of Formos, and I'm starting to feel a tingling sensation going down my arm so, I'm going to go take a nap. Thanks guys."

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Once alone in her room, Hailey starts examining the blaster for usability, ie. Did it have more than one charge and was it capable of being reused? When she gets bored of that she puts it away, accidentally knocking out the pair of binoculars. Curious, she starts trying to clean them up a bit as she falls asleep...

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
After making sure nobody Hailey is looking, Jowmum starts making something that is supposed to be less messy than pancakes for the miners (sandwiches).
Jowmum says something to himself quietly so nobody will hear him unless they are just outside the door.
If nobody else is going to get a snack for our guests, I will. And Hailey isn't going to stop me.
He emerges from the now disaster area called the kitchen in 10 minutes with a bland stack of grilled cheese.
(1d6=3 means your sandwich is a bit overdone, but still edible)

Boris takes a restraining bolt and locates Talik privately.
"Talik, do you think that we could repair and interrogate 3D-4K? I would like to know what happened. It should be possible to just get his communication circuits working."

Anyone in or near Hailey and Tali's room might hear the mumbled nonsense of a bad dream for the next half hour. (Unless someone decides to wake Hailey up.)

Its about this time Tali is sitting in the pilot seat but purposefully leaving her hands off the controls.
Guys I think I might still be hallucinating, weren't we suppose to exit at Nar Shada? All I see is a giant space cloud. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but I'm not sure if I should pilot in this condition.

Yeah, I could try to piece together his voice modulator and verbobrain, but most of this is mangled beyond use.

Re: Session 10: Back to Nar Shadda
Jowmum has finished lunch for everyone. He serves the miners first and everyone else in the room, saying, You're welcome. to anyone who thanks him, then goes to the cockpit.
Your lunch, Tali.
Your lunch, Tali.
