    "It's... not that simple anymore." Dash said, opting to leave it at that. Dash quietly stared at the surface of the table; reflexively clenching and releasing his fist. He shook his head slightly, and spoke up. "It's old news now. When I look back at those days, I enjoyed what I did, but I...

    "A lot of swoop jockeys like me spend their time here. Some newer guys looking to get signed to a sponsor, some older guys trying to relive the glory days. Food and drink's pretty good too."

    "I didn't think you'd be angry. I'm blown away at how idiotic that sounds." Dash, shook his head. "Plenty of people running from bounties lay their head here.As long as we keep a low profile, we should do fine." Their walk took them eventually to small bar. The neon sign outside showed a...

    "Oh, don't get me wrong, when I say high-end; on Nar Shaddaa that just means the toilets will only give you one disease, instead of three."

    Dash just chuckled nervously. "Let's try to keep the body count to a minimum, shall we? The last thing we need is a trail of bodies leading people right to us." A sudden ping coming from the cockpit told Dash they were about to arrive at Nar Shaddaa. "Well..." Dash said, heading for the...

    "Not really a good idea to spend time thinkin' about what could'a been." Dash said, gently thumping his foot against the cabinet behind him. "We got out of that mess fine enough." Dash glanced over to his Swoop, and scratched his head thoughtfully. "First priority once we reach Nar Shaddaa...

    "That's one way of looking at it." Dash scoffed; idly tweaking various bolts on his bike. "It's not really all that great. Freedom of choice also means an over abundance of doubt. You never really know if you're doing what's best. At least in your position, you've never truly needed to doubt...

    Dash just cocked an eyebrow at her oddly specific exclamation. "Yeah." He said simply. "Let's go with that." Dash worked quickly, disassembling the fuel intake within three minutes. "Damn..." Dash muttered, looking over the various parts. "Fuel lines to the ignition are leaking." He set to...
