Well this was was much better! Jumping between worlds, running cargo, selling scrap - all the humdrum routine of life as an aimless Space Captain flying from one job to the next was an adventure in itself, but it didn't hurt to find a moment to simply let the ship land on some unknown and remote world and sit back, relax but also lie low! Whilst for the most part the ventures of the Rim Hopper crew had been somewhat routine, it did have a nasty habit of occasionally going a little pear shaped thanks to the rather colourful crew that had found their way into the ship's compliment of misfits
Savareen seemed like the perfect spot to set the ship down, and allow the crew to take some time and stretch their respective limbs, both motorised and flesh alike. Not only was it far from the reaches of local crime lords that had been somewhat mildly miffed... no utterly pissed off by the colourful crews antics, some partly fuelled and caused by one to many sour Sarlaks, some caused by the ever destructive antics of the ship's chief engineer and a few caused by choice words and a few thrown punches at some perceived slight. Yet despite the remote and relatively isolated state of the planet, it was hot dry and had a refreshing oceanic breeze that rolled over the desert land mass.
The VCX-100 had landed down in an relatively isolated spot, nestled away in the shade cast by a towering hulk of a capital ship's wreckage that looked like it had been sitting in the dusty plains for well over a century. It seemed to be the perfect spot, as not only did it allow for a particular droid to get extremely excitable over the sight that had fallen upon it's photo receptors - so much so that no sooner had the ship touched down and the engines started to power down, the little buzz droid had already made a break for the boarding ramp. But for the fiery haired spacer it granted her the opportunity to get out of the ship and allow her complexion to move away from that ever flattering 'trapped in a tin can' pale shade of skin.
The impromptu sound system set atop the Rim Hopper's dorsal hull was blaring out a tune that had become something of an ear worm for the fiery haired spacer since the crew's recent antics on Batuu, beside the blaring speakers a cooler of beers hidden away under an improvised canopy for additional shade. With a light sigh the female rolled over onto her front and reached out towards the cooler to retrieve a fresh bottle of beer, her cybernetic hand snapping off the metal cap that sealed the drink away, allowing for a slight fizz and foam to escape from the bottle. "I'm sure the council will object to more than what you just did" Eisa chuckled as she shet her book down before taking a swig from the chilled beverage and setting it to the side to resume reading 'A Parsec too far' a trashy romance novel that she had picked up in one the many countless space ports that she had passed through. This one in particular had caught the spacer's attention, the cover emblazoned with a shirtless man suggestively wielding a lightsaber beside a scantly clad dark haired female, surrounded by crude renditions of battle droids reminiscent of the Clone wars - coupled with the tagline 'His Force was too strong for one woman'
Whether it was the fit of hysterical laughter that the cover had instilled on the young woman when she had seen the novel on the shelve, or the morbid curiosity that she held over how the novel's author sought to fantasise the Jedi knights of old. Eisa was instantly sold on the prospect of reading the novel, just for the prospect of how much much it would make her chuckle and so far it wasn't disappointing. Pulling her attention away from the pages of text, the fiery haired spacer cast a cursory glance down towards the makeshift camp that the crew had made as they spread out for their downtime, a light grin crossing her lips as she raised her beer in a gestured salute to her crew before returning back to her trashy novel.
It was good to have a moment to sit back and relax with no distractions over the horizon.... Right?
