It felt good to be back on the Rebel Dawn, after spending so much time away from the Rebellion proper. Getting back to the ship had been a small adventure in itself but not terribly difficult. Enfali just thanked the Force they hadn't packed up shop on Terminus, or Ord Pardron. Otherwise it might have been just a little more difficult finding away back to the ever moving Rebel flagship. As cramped as it was, it was certainly nice to have a safe place, with a bed that wasn't made out of sand and rock.

And to practice things.

Enfali stood in one of the cavernous hangars of the cruiser, rearranged to act as a training room. For this little exercise, targets popped up out of the floor, and she had to shoot certain ones, while leaving others alone. The scattergun buck against her arm, and boomed with each shot. At the range she was engaging the targets it was hard to miss, but that was rather the point. The intention was to ensure that you could make the snap judgment between hostile and friendly, not show off your mad sniping skills. Not that you could really snipe with a weapon like the Starbreaker in the first place.

Enfali was never one to really boast about her own skills, but she was pleased to note that thus far she hadn't accidentally shot the wrong targets. While the targets were practice, the ammo she was using was very much real. The sharnaff shot did a number on the wafer thin targets she was using. The rhythm she'd gotten herself into was calming in its own weird, thunderous way. But it eventually came to an end when she ran out of ammo. Looking around she saw that she was also out of any directly on hand as well.

Not that, that was a problem, the Dawn was well stocked with such things. Obviously the armory would have some, but then were was the question of going and getting more targets. Quickly she cleaned up the mess of shells, and destroyed targets she'd created, and head off for the armory. Getting more ammo was simple enough, though she had to introduce herself to the guards. It wasn't as if she'd spent every waking moment getting to know the crew of the Rebel Dawn, that had been Pearot's job if anything, and there had been some changes since the time she'd come aboard. The Rebellion was growing every day, heck even the pro-Empire anti-Sith faction of it had grown with the arrival of the Statera. A Star Destroyer just up and joining, with one of the heroes of the Empire aboard no less. That had to have hurt like a kick in the balls to the Sith.

Now the question was where to find more targets...

A scattergun loaded with sharnaff shot and flechette in hand, Enfali started poking into some of the different storage rooms on the ship she had access to. She searched one, two, three, four, five...and so many more as she made her way back towards the aft hangar. She found a lot of cleaning supplies, spare clothing, emergency rations, and the like. But no targets.

Opening the door to one of the storage rooms closer to the hangar she prepared herself for disappointment. The room was small, and filled with boxes. Peering inside one of the ones closer to the door, Enfali almost jumped for joy.

"Finally," She muttered, trying to pull the box fill with targets out of the small room. She succeeded, but in doing so cause an avalanche of boxes to spill out into the narrow corridor.

Looking at the mess she'd created she felt like beating her head against the bulkhead. How did that many things spill out anyway? There was all kind of stuff in the storage room apparently. More targets, some fire suppression equipment, and what looked like a black metal beach ball had spilled out of one of the crates...

An odd tingling sensation, a build-up of static, drove up the droids side, through his circuits, causing what must have been serious pain to the small unit. His sensors where not active, he couldn’t see or hear anything. Slowly he diverted all power to his audio receptors and holographic projection unit. A small red light flickered on, next the main detection unit on his ‘front’, and suddenly G0T0 was aware of the numerous sounds in the room.

A loud beating sound, ‘Badum, Badum’, a humanoid heart, heightened with adrenalin. Whistling air, panting, with shock? A humanoid breathing. He painted a mental image in his logic engines, the human was standing still, it was female judging by the pitch of the breath, as well as the heartbeat. G0T0 could roughly determine the size and weight of the human by these simple sounds.

He could not tell if the humanoid was armed, he could not tell if it was angry of scared. In a situation such as this he would normally be able to see, and then fight back, however in his less than optimal situation he could do neither of these things. G0T0 needed to be re-activated, before his reserve power ran out, and fast. He projected an image on the floor in front of him, a light switch, being turned off, and on.

He hoped the humanoid understood the message.

Enfali did get the message.

The...thing wanted to be powered up. That was something she wasn't entirely sure about at the moment however. Going over to the bulkhead, she patched in with the ship's internal communications, and contacted the command center.

"Hey is there anything about a...droid I guess being in storage in SL1015?" She asked over the comm.

"A droid you guess?" The voice of someone in the command center answered back.

"Well it's either that or a bomb that wants me to turn it on."

"Oh. Uhh...Let me see...I don't see anything about a droid being moved in there, but it's near the hangar so some cargo might've stored there without being checked in."

Enfali sighed," Well I'm going to turn it on, keep on eye on what's going in here and internal security on standby would you?"

"Will do."

And if you hear a loud boom, try to gather up enough of what's left of me to put in an urn or something...


She could see the inscription now. Enfali Tragati, of the Rebellion, the woman who split the Imperial Knights apart...killed in a corridor because a bomb asked her to detonate it, and she was dumb enough to actually do it.

But she reached down, and then looked around, and pressed the button to reactivate the what she hoped was just a droid. As soon as she did, she backed away a few paces, but didn't raise her weapon, or otherwise act overly alarmed. Either it'd blow up, in which case a scattergun wasn't going to do much good, or it wouldn't in which case it probably wouldn't be needed.

It was most certainly a bizarre sensation, being reactivated. One would assume that power surged violently around the droid unit, pouring into every corner and whizzing it back into operation. This could not be further from the truth however, as was apparent now, with the droid instead rolling slightly to the left before gently chugging up to eye-height with its repulsors. G0T0 reactivated his sensors next, and was suddenly swamped with visual and audio information.

Seeing the organic life form in the room with him, G0T0 activated his speech unit, and spoke in Galactic Basic. ‘’MY THANKS HUMANOID.’’ it shouted, before rapidly adjusting its volume so as to be no longer screaming at the humanoid. He did not recognise it, and thus he was naturally wary. Wirelessly he accessed his memory banks, buffering himself for the next stage of his re-activation.

Without saying a word, he turned on his ‘Planetary Management Software’ and felt his IQ increase by nearly a quadrillion percentage points. He saw things the humanoid couldn’t even imagine, yet due to his size and shape, and lack of hands, could do little about them. Overwhelmed with the knowledge at his disposal once again, G0T0 spoke:

+++This vessel is unidentified, data does not match any in existence in the Galactic Alliance fleet. Vessel does not match any in Imperial, or Chiss Fleets. Will explore further.+++ immediately following its outburst of basic, it projected in front of it the entire decades worth of Galatic Alliance Budget information, and started to syphon out data that would lead it to the only conclusion possible. +++This vessel is custom made? Made for a special purpose? Human, explain. Why am I here?+++

G0T0 faced his companion, his single visual receptor looking directly at her, almost pleading for information.

"Uhh you're welcome," was the first thing Enfali said in response. She was a bit overwhelmed by relief that the droid was in fact not a bomb, the sudden appearance of information that meant absolutely nothing to her being displayed from the droid, and the questions it rapidly asked. Her first impression was that it seemed a little on the bossy side for a droid, but who knew what the people who'd programmed it were thinking. Maybe they'd decided to give it the personality of a bureaucrat with an overinflated sense of worth. The Force knew there had been droids programmed with worse personalities though.

"This is the Rebel Dawn," She continued, answering the droid's question with hesitation clear in her voice. "It was custom built on Manaan, I think."

"It's the command ship for the Rebellion," She said, giving the droid a funny a look. "When was the last time you were activated?"

She had a feeling it had been a few years since the droid had last been turned on.

Processing this new information, G0T0 rummaged through its memory banks for this Rebel Dawn Vessel of which it had been informed. It found nothing, and whirred angrily. The vessel was custom made, this much was clear, and had been confirmed by the organic, but so many questions had been left unanswered.

G0T0 needed knowledge, and information, data. Activating his wireless search, he found a holonet port, and began searching. Drifting slightly across the room, he extended a manipulator arm and plugged himself in, beginning the replication of the ships databanks, absorbing the information it contained.

Almost ten years of it.

The fact struck G0T0 like a truck, and he responded calmly to the question. +++Information suggests ten years have passed since my last activation. Explain – what is this ‘rebellion’? If my diagnosis ten years ago is correct, the Alliance has fallen yes?+++

His download continued, and the lights in the room flickered. He could see the personnel and assets list of the rebellion. It was….meagre. +++If this is the rebellion, you cannot succeed in your war, for you are not at optimum levels of personnel and munitions. I can assist in this if required.+++

Enfali was dead certain that the Rebellion didn't keep information stored on every asset that belonged to it in the databanks of the Dawn, certainly not ones that could be accessed just by plugging in, in a random corridor on the ship. That was "how to not get your Rebellion destroyed by a single infiltrator" 101. It would have been inconceivable for the Rebellion to have lasted as long as it had if such was not the case. But that didn't mean the droid was wrong either. There weren't a lot of resources in the Rebellion as a whole, as far as Enfali knew. But on the other hand, they were gaining more and more every day.

"Yeah ten years give or take," Enfali answered the droid's last query. "And sure, welcome aboard. Do you have a uhh designation?"

She wondered what it was the droid was exactly programmed to do. The Force knew it was certainly presumptuous if it thought that mere minutes after being turned on it was going to start boosting the Rebellion in a major fashion. But on the other hand, how could you not like the enthusiasm? She was still a bit cautious about it, but doubted it would have been aboard if it were truly a threat.

"You want me to take you down to our engineering section and get you checked out?" She asked. If the droid had been inactive for ten years or so, there was a good chance something within it had degraded. Obviously not to the point of impeding the droid, but she doubted very much the droid would want to stay damaged if any had accrued. If it didn't, that was fine by her. She still had a mess of boxes to clean up, and target practice to get back to.

+++Ten? Ten years! I must be updated with what has happened in this timeframe Human. Is the chancellor safe? What has happened to the senate and to the core worlds?+++ the droids blurted out in a state of panic, it's recent reactivation on somewhat damaged circuitry taking it's strain.


Finally, G0T0 activated it's personality software, something to take the edge off it's somewhat direct personality, and spoke one more.

+++I am sure however that we can save such an input for a later date Madam. Repairs would be very welcome. My designation is G0T0 Gal-Sec, formally a Planetary planning droid designed to run and develop planets. You may call me whatever you wish. May I ask, in return, what is your designation?+++

"Enfali Tragati, nice to meet you Goto," She said. Goto was a bit easier than G0T0, she hoped the droid didn't mind. And she was being truthful about it being nice to meet the droid. Nicer than meeting a bomb, or a oversized paperweight certainly Although she wasn't sure how nice it really was to meet a droid. They were just droids after all, weren't they?

"As for what happened to the Core Worlds..." Her voice trailed off. Just thinking about everything that happened on Coruscant, and to Coruscant was enough to send shivers up her spine. "There should be some recordings of what happened. And I think there are some members of the senate who are a part of the Rebellion."

As to which ones were, Enfali had no idea. She neither knew any of them, or really cared to know any of them. They wanted to reestablish a New Republic, and that was all fine and good for them. Good for them all really, but she was more concerned with future Imperial entanglements, than old Alliance ones.

"So let me show you to one of the engineer bays," She said motion for the droid to follow her.

Following her out to the engineering bays, G0T0, or Goto as he would now be known, searched his companions name through his database, coming up with a few results, one of which matched the audio and visual description of the person before him at present. Carefully, so as to not offend, his companion he spoke +++I do not understand Enfali. According to Alliance records you are an Imperial Knight?+++

Goto was - at least in as far as a droid could be - confused, and worried. He had no idea what had happened whilst he had been deactivated, so once again he spoke +++Mistress, would it be possible for me to access the Holonet whilst I am being repaired, my software cannot understand its present situation unless I am up to date with the last ten years.+++

"You might want to wait until you get checked out," Enfali replied. She moved so that she was walking closer to right beside the droid. It felt awkward talking to some[ST]one[/ST]thing behind her, even if it was a droid she found chatting easier when she could see what she was chatting with. "I don't know much about computers, but I'm pretty you'll want to ensure you've got the latest anti virus kit from what we've got down in the bay. Ten years is a long time in software I imagine."

"And yes I'm Imperial Knight, or rather Marshall I suppose," She continued. The split in the Imperial Knights was whole other story in itself, but fortunately it was one easy to sum up. "We're Imperial Knights who choose to fight alongside the rest to remove the Sith. Like you said we're not at 'optimum levels' of the resources we need to combat the Sith. We've got all to pool together what we have if we're going to have a chance."

And she left it at that. She could have gone at length about it, it was an issue she felt rather deeply about. She was very much in favor of putting aside all those petty differences to achieve the goal of turning Korriban, and Ziost into biggest, and prettiest, glass ornaments in the galaxy. Even if meant working with the Jedi, she supposed, even if they were squirrelly hippies. Likewise she personally didn't see too much of an issue for them working together in the event of victory. An Empire and an Alliance had stood side by side for nearly a thousand years, and she saw little reason why they couldn't again once the Sith were removed for good. Of course there were likely to be those with more extreme opinions on both sides, and that was going to be the real issue. But all that was a very, very, very, very long way off. If it ever happened.

+++Waiting until I am back at my optimum level would be wise Enfali.+++ intoned the droid in response, no doubt causing further social awkwardness for his counterpart. Noticing how his companion appeared uncomfortable when conversing with a 'beach ball' Goto activated his Holo-Unit, projecting an image of a stereotypical, upper class man - possibly from the Core Worlds - who appeared to 'walk' next to Enfali.

''Perhaps this is more to your liking Madam?'' the projection said smoothly, ''Speaking to a faceless droid is oft most disturbing after all. Regardless, let us not dally any further. An Imperial Knight you say, working with the Alliance Remnants? It seems that there is a great deal more to this Rebellion of yours than at first meets the eye?'' said the projection as they rounded the corner, entering the Engineering Bay.

The droid headed over to one of the workers, his projecting following.

"There certainly is," Enfali answered as the droid entered the engineering bay. Heck of a thing, finding a droid in the middle of a crate in a closet. G0T0 was....interesting certainly. And to believe it had just been left in a box somewhere. Which reminded her, she actually actually had to go finish cleaning that up. It didn't matter who you were the Rebellion, you didn't just leave things strewn about in the middle of a hall. Hefting her scattergun she headed back the way they'd came.
