[Hank Beast]

Spoiler

Location: Naboo
Time: 0800 hours
Date: Year 3 of Original Timeline
Character Playing as: Crado "Hank" Beast

Crado had just left the planet Cathar even though it had been the second he had been off world since he became a slave further out in the galaxy but still he didn't like leaving his home world being the fact that his son still lived there but he had to explore the galaxy to see what it was like off world.
Nearly 2 days after he left his planet he came across a planet that looked blue it wasn't like any planet he had ever seen before but it looked like it was a good place to stop to collect some food for the rest of his journey, so on decided to land on the planet he steered his x-wing towards the planet's surface.
Being not to used to piloting his new space ship he lost control while going into the atmosphere of the planet so he couldn't see where he landing, Crado's ship could be seen in the far of distance of the planets buildings and nearly everyone thought in to be a shooting star but inside the ship Crado was growling in anger at the ship as he tried to pull up the ship with all his might eventually getting enough force to pull it up so it wouldn't crash face first instead in landed in a way that it left a trail of broken trees and ruined dirt behind it.

Crado who was barely alive due to severe crash that had befell him the blue Cathar opened up the hatch of his x-wing to climb out and collapsed out onto the grass below him seeing that the planet was a very green planet as he saw a beautiful waterfall not to far from him, he felt happy that he would be able to stay alive since her didn't die in the crash.
Crado stood up as carefully as he could due to fact he noticed that he had dislocated his knee, growling in pain Crado grabbed hold of big stick that was big enough for him to use as a walking stick.
Slowly making his way towards the middle of the field he sat down and started to quickly adjust his leg so his knee would be easier to walk on and as he did that he made a loud growl in pain and then he collapsed down and said in basic "Stoopeed Sheep".

Now that she was here, Sylvaria Pho could now consider herself to be among the billions of other beings that had seen the rolling plains, dense forest, and murky swamps on Naboo. It was a gorgeous planet, teeming with lifeforms of all shapes and sizes, each one having a niche in their ecosystem. Everything was so different, so unique, yet it was all connected through the Force. The energy was constantly flowing from life form to the next, and yet it was all bound together for eternity.

The young Cathar rested on the branch of a tree, one of many in a small grove located on the Naboo plains. From here she had a glorious view of the surrounding countryside, the mountains looming off in the distance as well as the nearby waterfalls feeding the river below. She preferred this setting much more than the nearby city of Theed. While she had no problem with populated areas, Sylvaria had always found people to be rather....annoying, for lack of a better word. So here she sat, watching the local sun rise slowly over the horizon, it's rays dancing brilliantly off the surface of the river.

Suddenly she heard the familiar cry of a bird, and instantly recognized it as the unique cry of her pet Jubba bird, Melody. The grey and red feathered creature swooped down low over the grass, and glided her way towards Sylvaria before ascending rapidly and landing perfectly on her shoulder. She let out a gentle coo, and nudged her head against the Padawan's shoulder. With a smile, Sylvaria petted her head. "Glad to see you too, girl. Had a nice hunt, huh?"

Melody blinked twice and tilted her head, a simple "yes" to Sylvaria's question. The two sat there watching the plains as they became increasingly more active, the native animals slowly rising from their temporary slumber. It was then Melody shrieked loudly, a clear warning of danger. The Jedi was immediately alert, and looked towards the direction Melody was facing. Was that a meteorite? Why was Melody....

No!

That was a ship! And it was on a collision course with the ground below. "Fly ahead Melody and see if the pilot is alright! Hurry, girl!" Jubba birds were naturally Force sensitive and extremely intelligent, so Melody was used to telepathic commands. She speeded off towards the crash site, while Sylvaria put her fingers in her mouth and whistled, the shrill sound echoing throughout the plains.

Without hesitation, she leapt of the branch, and landed safe and sound on her Nexu, Whiplash. The massive feline had been hunting as well in the nearby plains, and from the red tint on his paws and around his mouth, he had obviously succeeded. "A ship has crash landed south of here, we need to get there. And fast!" Whiplash didn't move an inch, and instead just turned his head slightly to, one of his pair of eyes glaring at the Jedi. Sylvaria rolled her eyes. "Please?" He purred briefly, and then sped off towards the ruined X-Wing.

Crado would see Sylvaria riding Whiplash on the horizon, as well as Melody flying towards him much faster. Within moments they would be upon the injured Cathar.

 

[Hank Beast]

Crado still had his head in his paws cursing at the ship with growls and snarls with the 3 different languages he knew he always went back to talking catharese because he found it easier to speak this language and every-time he spoke basic to humans they said he sounded Russian which he had no idea what that meant.
The Blue Cathar Elder stood up still with really bad pain in his legs but he knew that he was good enough to walk, as he tried to make his way back to the X-Wing to grab the food he brought with him for the long journey, he grabbed hold of the stick he now used to walk temporarily before his body fully healed.

But then suddenly the Cathar collapsed on the floor due to his leg have a spasm causing the Cathar to grab the ground before he hurt himself, when he was on the ground he started sensing something with his whiskers it wasn't something he normally felt especially after he left his homeworld it was another Cathar no a woman Cathar riding on a "Nexu?" Crado said to himself in Catharese "What's a female Cathar doing riding a Nexu they are beast" Crado had to admit that he was impressed in how someone would partially train a Nexu especially since he considered the Nexues beasts he didn't think they could be trained.
But then he noticed that being an elder he probably be recognized too easily especially with his chemical tainted blue fur he would easily be recognized so he looked around for somewhere to hide but it was too late the Cathar was here before he made up his mind.

 

[CaliforniaWinter]

Melody had already arrived at the crash site, her keen eyesight witnessing the name Cathar's fall from afar. She circled the blue furred man twice, before softly landing next to him. She studied his features, her eyes unblinking in their relentless stare contest. Everything she was seeing was being transferred back to Sylvaria, their Force Bond stronger than any friendship.

It was only a few moments before Whiplash, with Sylvaria riding bareback, approached Crado and his X-Wing....or what was left of it. She hopped off quickly, and it was here the Elder would be able to fully take in her appearance.

Her hair was a stunning shade of red, one side of it covering her left eye and it flowed past her shoulders. Her fur was cut very low, giving it a velvety appearance and texture. It too was a shade of red, but much lighter and she had spotted patterns along her outer legs and arms. Sylvaria wore her usual black and gray robes that ended at her waist, along with her brown Jedi boots and gauntlets. On her back was her Nightsister Energy Bow and on her hip was the hilt of her double bladed lightsabers, clear indication of a Force User. Overall, she considered herself average in the looks category, but as of now that was not her concern.

She knelt down on her knee next to Crado and spoke in Catharese. She started off a bit awkwardly, but smoothed out as she spoke. "Are you alright?! We saw your ship crash from a nearby grove and we came to help." She cautiously ran her hand gently along Crado's leg, examining it for the location of the injury. "He has blue skin and fur.....strange. A mutation perhaps?" She continued to use the Force to sense for the primary source of pain, and once she found it, she turned to Melody and Whiplash.

"Go check the wreckage to see if he was carrying any medical ssupplies. Be careful you two." They flew and ran off respectively while Sylvaria focused her attention back on the Cathar. "I can heal, uh, your leg with the Force, but it will only soothe the pain and not fix any real damage. I, um, I hope you don't mind." She tried her best to smile reassuringly, but it only came out as awkward. "Oh, excuse me! I'm Sylvaria by the way. Sylvaria Pho."

 

[Hank Beast]

Crado noticed as the woman was coming near him to show of his appearance a little bit better than what it looked like from afar his fur is completely blue, same as for the skin underneath due to the chemical accident caused during his time as a slave, he also had a large slash across his chest caused by a Kiltik during one of his blood-hunt.
His eyes glowed a bright yellow and if you look closely to them you can see the fire burning in his soul, then the woman asked in the native tongue of the many Cathars which people around the universe called Catharese "Are you alright?! We saw your ship crash from a nearby grove and we came to help" Crado saw that the young Cathar was trying to help but she didn't need to, he knew it would heal eventually and he would be fine until then but then he saw that the woman was looking at his discoloured fur a clear sign as him when he was a slave "Do not look at my fur it has been a burden to me ever since it happened but yes a little medicine but don't waste much, don't forget the Cathar heal quickly" Crado said with anger at the start and then he mellowed out in tone when he went to talk about the medicine.

Crado finally noticed after the Cathar said "I can heal, uh, your leg with the force" she was a jedi with was uncommon but not rare in the Cathar race even though he never developed the ability to use the force he still found a way to out match some of the more skilled fighters in the area when he was younger, but Crado had to respond soon otherwise the woman would think he was ignoring her "I see that you are of the many jedi of our race, but please could you refrain from using the force on my leg I don't need it heals even though it may hurt" Crado said to the young woman just before he noticed that he forget to introduce himself after the young woman said who she was "Pleased to meet you Sylvaria Pho, my name is Crado Beast".

 

[CaliforniaWinter]

"Do not look at my fur. It has been a burden to me ever since it happened, but yes a little medicine. But don't waste much. Don't forget the Cathar heal quickly." Sylvaria just stared at the Cathar, her face showing no emotion, something she excelled at. This man had barely survived a crashed landing, and he wanted no Force treatment whatsoever? Talk about peculiar....

"Well....if you insist, sir. And trust me, I'm well aware of our natural healing abilities." She spoke in Catharese, the language fluidly rolling off of her tongue. It had been some time since she had spoken to another Cathar, and even longer in their native tongue. Truthfully, it was quite refreshing to meet another Cathar, even under these particular.....er, circumstances.

While she did not leave the Catharese side, she did scoot back a bit, the anger in his tone catching her off guard. This was why she preferred animals to people: animals were much more docile.

Sylvaria was suddenly hit in the head by small box, the contents jingling inside as it landed on the ground. She turned to see Whiplash glaring at her. "Ow! What was that for?! You know what, never mind. I'll deal with you later." She rubbed the back of her head and picked up the medicine box. "I see that you are of the many Jedi of our race, but please could you refrain from using the Force on my leg? I don't need it healed, even though it may hurt." Again, the young woman blankly stared at him for a few moments before continuing on with the procedure. He was an odd fellow. Nothing to soothe the pain? Perhaps he was one of those warriors who "embraced" the pain. "Yeh, and insanity right along with it..."

She motioned to his leg, a warning that she was about to inject the medicine. With his approval she did so, the pain of the injection most likely minimal. "There you go, sir. That should ease the pain and begin mending the internal damage immediately. Still...." She stopped once he introduced himself as Crack Beast. A rather fitting surname she mused. "Pleased to meet you Sir, uh, Beast. I'm afraid that we can't stay here forever......at least you can't." She mumbled that last part to herself, unsure he would notice. She stood up, whistling out loud as she did so, and outstretched her lightly furred hand.

"Well Mister Beast, it looks like your X-Wing here may not be able to take off without exploding. I could take you to Theed, the nearest city if you like." She wore a polite, albeit awkward smile on her face. Melody and Whiplash came up beside her, both of the rare animals eyeing the blue pigmented Cathar carefully.

 

[Hank Beast]

Crado knew the woman found it weird when he said that he didn't need his leg healed even though it hurt "You know the only reason I said that was because I don't what to waste the medical supplies I had with me" but just as Crado said that the woman stuck a needle in his leg.
Crado had met many different Cathar that were different due to his time as a slave even some that didn't like him due to the colour of his fur but then some woman like the fact that it showed the fact he had battle scars.
"Pleased to meet you Sir, uh, Beast. I'm afraid we can't stay here forever......at least you can't." Crado ignored the last part because he didn't want to get angry "Yes I know that we can't stay here why do you think I was moving away from my ship but then I realized that I need to get my equipment and other essentials from my ship before I leave" Crado said to the woman "We should be fine for another 20 minuets so that's enough time to get my things from the ship before it explodes".

Crado got to his legs again standing just a little bit taller that the woman he grabbed the stick and started walking to his ship when he heard the woman say that she could take him to a local city on the planet he turned around and said "I'd prefer getting my things first before I go to any civilisations" Crado turned back around and walked towards his X-Wing he smiled because he realized that the young Cathar didn't know who he actually was she must be one of the slaves taken from Cathar when they were younger.

 

[CaliforniaWinter]

"Yes, I know that we can't stay here. Why do you think I was moving away from my ship? But then I realized that I need to get my equipment and other essentials from my ship before I leave." Sylvaria grinded her teeth a bit, her eyes watching Crado closely. He seemed to be in a rather foul mood, one she didn't approve of but had no control over. Sylvaria had a temper of her own, so she decided it would be best to remain silent and let the man gather his supplies."We should be fine for another 20 minuets, so that's enough time to get my things from the ship before it explodes."

The young Jedi had been absent mindedly stroking Whiplash's fur, Melody on her shoulder watching the show of affection with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. "Good. That'll give my ship enough time to reach our location." She stopped petting Whiplash, much to his dismay, and logged in their coordinates on her wrist mounted data pad. "It appears yours won't be going anywhere anytime soon..." Those in Naboo would see the squid shaped ship, The Strident Trident, activate it's engines and began heading towards the Naboo plains, a trail of smoke following it.

Sylvaria moved forward cautiously as the older Cathar rose from his position on the ground, and began to rummage through the wreckage of his ship. He told her he would prefer to gather what remained if his personal belongings before they made the trip to Theed. She didn't want to pester the man about his health, after all she was not his caretaker. But no one should be left unattended after taking such a nasty dive in their starfighter.

Melody whistled out a series of noises and squawks aimed towards Sylvaria. Apparently she was hungry....again. With a small nod of approval from her owner, Melody flew off to feast once more before they reached civilization. Speaking off....

"So, uh, what brings a Cathar this far away from his home world? And to Naboo in particular." She chuckled quietly, an attempt to create conversation and lighten the mood. "If you don't mind me asking, that is!" She was indeed curious, but she didn't want to stick her whiskered nose into anyone else's business without their protection.

 

[Hank Beast]

Crado chuckled at the fact that Sylvaria said "It appears yours won't be going anywhere anytime soon..." due to it originally not being his but the ship he stole to escape the slave encampment "Oh this wasn't my ship let's just say I borrowed it from someone I really hate" he said with the slightest bit of humour as he limped over to his ship.

When he got to the ship he started bringing out different equipment and miscellaneous things like the picture of him, his wife and his son remembering that he was still on Cathar with his family, his leg gave way again but he just lifted himself up again being angry that it just kept happening to him and started going through his wreckage again bringing out the two different coloured lightsabers trying to conceal them as much as possible so he wouldn't need to explain why he had lightsabers with him especially since he wasn't sith or jedi.

As he was nearly finished going through the wreckage Sylvaria started talking again "So, uh, what brings a Cathar this far away from his home world? And to Naboo in particular." Crado knew that she was trying to lighten the mood with casual conversation but he was really in a rush due to the ship about to explode so he shot her a stern look and started talking "You really want to well I'll tell you, I'm off planet because I wanted to explore the galaxy, what you didn't know is that I'm an Elder" he stopped so he could catch his breath and continued the conversation "What you didn't know is that I left the planet on my own free will but then I never studied the galaxy that well so this planet Naboo, you call it, I've never heard of it before I've been just going though the different planets of most solar systems, most were uninhabited being desolate and dangerous while other have been teeming with wildlife so I made some drawings so here take a look" Crado tossed her a book filled with amazing drawing of many different creatures from other planet, ranging from the giant beasts of Hoth called Wampas to the plums found in the ground of Tatooine and there were written synopses of what he learn from everything and how they ate, hunted, how they grew and even.... actually that last part probably shouldn't be read..... fine how they mated.

Crado finished getting everything even though he saw the woman still looking through his drawings he coughed to get her attention and signalized he was done and he started moving down the field away from the ship before it exploded

 

[CaliforniaWinter]

"Oh this wasn't my ship. Let's just say I borrowed it from someone I really hate." The Padawan smiled to herself at that statement. Apparently they both had borrowed ships from some rather seedy figures, although she wasn't going to tell him that; what would he think of a Jedi being a thief? It wasn't like she had any other choice to steal the ship!

Crack suddenly turned to face her, a stern look plastered across his face. Perhaps she had went to far? Not everyone wanted tondwell on the past, or share their business with complete strangers. "You really want me to? Well I'll tell you. I'm off planet because I wanted to explore the galaxy. And what you didn't know is that I'm an Elder." Sylvaria wasn't surprised. Many Cathar left the homeworld to see the greater Galaxy, but usually they weren't as....aged as Crado was. When he mentioned him being an Elder, Sylvaria gave no indication that she cared for that title. She did not spend the majority of her life on Cathar, so to her Crado was but another man along with the countless others in the galaxy. She would still treat him with respect, of course, but she hoped he wouldn't expect any special treatment because of his title.

After he paused to catch his breath, he continued. "What you didn't know is that I left the planet on my own free will, but then I never studied the Galaxy that well. So this planet Naboo, you call it, I've never heard of it before. I've been just going though the different planets of most solar systems, most were uninhabited being desolate and dangerous, while others have been teeming with wildlife. So I made some drawings, so here take a look." Sylvaria let out a small laugh. He was talking rather fast for someone who was injured. She had no fear of the ship exploding and injuring them. From his estimate earlier, they still had enough time to move out of the blast radius. Credo tossed her a book, her heightened reflexes allowing her to catch it perfectly. It was a bit worn and weathered, some prices here and there were burnt from the flames of the X-Wing, but over all it was in good condition.

As she flipped through the pages, she smiled at the drawings and information, mist of them fairly accurate. If nothing else, Sylvaria was an animal fanatic. She had always admired how nature had managed to create such diverse species across the Galaxy, each with it's own special purpose in it's native ecosystem. A rather large portion of the flaura and fauna Sylvaria recognized, while others were new to her. She was impressed, that much she could say.

"It seems you share the same love for nature almost as much as I do. These drawings are fantastic!" After skimming the last couple of pages, she handed the book back to Crado and mounted Whiplash as they moved away from the inevitable explosion. Whiplash eyed the blue skinned Elder carefully. It was was just his personality to dislike everyone and everything around him.

As the ship exploded, sending shrapnel and smoke far far into the air, The Strident Trident could be heard in the distance long before it could be seen. It sounded like tiny explosions along with a small thunderstorms. The squid shaped ship circled them once before landing in the nearby grass roughly. One last bang could be heard before the engines powered down and the ramp slid open. Sylvaria smiled at the old rust bucket and turned to Crack, an amused skill spread across her face. "Looks like our ride is here!"

 

[Hank Beast]

"It seems you share the same love for nature almost as much as I do. These drawing are fantastic!" Crado chuckled as he had his book chuck back at him it seems his book was in pretty bad shape so he would probably need to get a new front cover and he made a sigh of relief as the pages were in good condition enough to copy off "I'm twice the age of you and I've lived on Cathar for nearly 3 decades I thought you would ask more about it because I sensed your reaction you are obviously not had your Blood Hunt yet, because I sense the struggle with your anger or you were taken from Cathar long ago" Crado said as he got to where there was a safe distance of the ship before it exploded.

Crado heard the ship explode in the background and turned around to see shrapnel going high up but not before one knocked back down on the floor he cursed in basic "Vhy yooo stoopeed sheep" Crado got back up slowly so he wouldn't hurt himself even more and just as he got up he started to hear sounds of rusted nuts and bolts, Crado though to himself "Please don't be her ship, please don't be her ship" he looked up in the sky it was a weird ship shaped kinda like the creature from earth called a squid and it sounded awful and just as he though that he wouldn't need to go on that ship it landed on the grass and Sylvania said "Looks like our ride is here" she smiled after she said it he knew that he could survive one crash but two because of the awful state of the ship he knew it was a death trap.

"I'm not going on that thing I think I'd rather stay on the ground and keep living thank you very much, even with my ship I knew it wouldn't crash unless that happened" he said as he pointed back at the destroyed ship behind him "But as for that ship it's a death-trap I'm surprised you still have it".
Crado went to go sit down near a nearby rock and started to draw the Nexu Sylvania owned.

 

[CaliforniaWinter]

"I'm twice the age of you and I've lived on Cathar for nearly 3 decades. I thought you would ask more about it because I sensed your reaction. You have obviously not had your Blood Hunt yet, because I sense the struggle with your anger. Or were you taken from Cathar long ago?" Sylvaria tensed up at the question, her jaws tightening and her fist clenching. While the man did not know her personally of course, he still had no right to ask such a question. "It would be best you do not ask that question again..." There was anger in her voice, laced with frustration and regret. She had had a troubled life leading up to her time when she fist entered the Order, and she wasn't about dwell on that now. Whiplash growled low, the threatening sound emitted from deep within his chest. The two feline-esque beings were rather similar underneath, and Sylvaria's tale was forever intertwined with Whiplash's.

She petted the Nexus fur, sliding her hand from the front of his forehead to the beginning of the quills on his back. A calming method she had learned years ago. After a few more moments of tense silence, the Nexu relaxed a bit, but he still glared at Crado.

As Sylvaria and Whiplash began to head towards their ship, she noticed the Elder was not following them. She searched his feelings, and apparently he didn't wish to take the ride that was being offered. "Don't tell me you're afraid of a little mid flight, ah, turbulence." The older Cathar simply shook his head and began to walk to a nearby rock."I'm not going on that thing! I think I'd rather stay on the ground and keep living, thank you very much. Even with my ship, I knew it wouldn't crash unless that happened." He said as he pointed back at the destroyed ship behind him. "But as for that ship, it's a death-trap. I'm surprised you still have it". She rolled her green eyes, frustrated the old coot was cooperating as much as he had hoped. If it was up to her, he could sit here and turn blue in the face for all she cared.....well, it was bit too late for that!

But Sylvaria had been taught to be polite and understanding, something she despised. "Well, you can walk to Theed if you wish, but with that leg and the distance from here to there, you're gonna have a hell of time trying to make it." She turned to the Trident and smiled, reminiscing on all the good times she'd had in the ship. "He may not look like much, but the Trident has been around longer than you or I. Sure, he has a few, uh....missing parts, but he still gets me from point A to point B."

She turned back to Crack, who appeared to be drawing something. "You can either take the Trident or Whiplash to Theed since I'm feeling particularly generous today." She smirked mischievously. "But I can't guarantee your safety.....with Whiplash I mean." The Nexu growled hungrily, licking his lips as he did so.

 

[Hank Beast]

"It would be best if you do not ask that question again..." Crado knew now that she was either a former slave or a youngling who had refused to take her Blood Hunt he didn't want to say anything but he had to it was either find out and leave knowing or forget about it and go on that deathtrap "I'm going to ask you anyway because I'm going to tell you this that if you are what I think you are then you are like me a former slave who was taken from Cathar obviously you were taken earlier in you life time than I was, and then that if you were taken you never did a Blood Hunt therefore leaving turmoil in your body between our natural rage and your actual personality" Crado said in his normal standard tone.
Crado nearly finished the drawing of the Nexu and then he stood up and started to walk over to the Trident but he didn't go on he checked the engine to see what was wrong with it and see why it was making so much noise. As he looked at the engine he saw many core parts were missing manly the sparkplugs, hyper-speed calculator and the cap for fuel he looked at the woman with the most weirdest look "You do realize that your missing multiple sparkplugs to making your ship make that nose and probably why it is slow moving as well as that's probably what's making the smoke come out, secondly you are missing a hyper-speed calculator which allows you to plot co-ordinates on you ship to get there quickly making that mandatory if you are ever in an ambush and finally it is missing a cap for you fuel and I mean really a cap for fuel....that is the most obvious thing that you need so your fuel doesn't leak if you took care of the ship or bothered to repair it, it could run really well and judging by the damage you will need alot of credits for this to get fixed" Crado said in a almost mechanic-esk voice.
After he finished explaining the flaw on the engine he went to go sit back down adding a little bit extra mainly a drawing of the woman in front of him but he concealed it so she couldn't see.

 

[CaliforniaWinter]

Crado yet again opened his mouth, babbling on about slaves and Blood Hunts, that Sylvaria had an anger within her that needed to be purged. Well, maybe that's what he saying, in all honesty she wasn't paying him any attention. Hurry Melody, we haven't got all day. And I'm ready to be rid of this man. Sylvaria and Whiplash followed Crado into the Strident Trident, the ramp rusted in some places, a few more spots appearing as if they had to be welded back on. She dismounted Whiplash once they were fully inside, the Nexu moving towards a couch that was nestled against the far wall. He flopped onto it lazily, shutting his four bloodshot eyes for yet another nap. With a soft landing, Melody landed on Sylvaria's shoulder, her skills at approaching someone silently phenomenal. From the looks of her belly, she was indeed full, but unlike another pet the Cathar had, Melody was pretty active during most of the day.

The duo looked over to Crado who was rambling on about engine parts and other nonsense she didn't care for. Perhaps when he got his own ship, he could blabber on about repairs and missing engine components, but for now he was on her ship so his opinion was moot.

Sylvaria unattached the Nightsister Bow from her back, the exotic weapon fitting perfectly with the jungle like theme Sylvaria had decided to decorate the ship with. After carefully placing the bow on it's holding place on the wall, Sylvaria ordered the Strident to began the trip to Theed. As one would look around, they would see vines intertwining with cables, plants ranging from small pots of flowers to something that almost look like a small tree in the corner. There were tanks filled with many animals, ranging from snakes to birds. Each one was personal to Sylvaria, having found the myriad of animals throughout her travels on her way to join the Order. While Sylvaria disliked being inside ships, whether they be as large as a Star Destroyer or as small as a X-Wing, the Strident would always be her home. It was were she could relax and truly feel safe and secure amongst a galaxy ripe with turmoil and tension. Perhaps one day she would acquire a larger vessel to house her mobile museum, but for now, the Strident would do.

She turned to Crado, had begun on another drawing. "We'll have about twenty minutes before we reach Theed, or is there another rmtown or location you were heading to? I could easily make some navigation adjustments." As if on queue, the landing ramp ascended slowly, the screeching almost unbearable. With a mighty blast, the engines roared to life, and away the Strident went, the hulking ship heading towards it's current destination of Theed. Sylvaria would appear undeterred by the violent takeoff, her stance steady, and Whiplash still fast asleep. They unusual trio had taken off so many times in the old rickety starship, that it would take more than a couple of earthshaking explosions to knock them off their feet.

 

[Hank Beast]

Crado watched the girl face show yet again that he was annoyed with him and he could accept that he was like that when he was younger but he really wanted to teach this way of the Cathar and so he just kept quiet when the girl asked if he wanted to go to another location he make a quick smile and made that disappear so the girl wouldn't spot him.
This would be a good chance for him to change course to off world to the planet Cathar but he didn't want the girl to hear the name so he wanted to be smart and say the co-ordinates so the ship computer didn't say the planet "Yes actually could you set the co-ordinates on the ship to N-6 on the galactic grid please I was heading there before I made this unexpected crash landing on this planet" he said rather quickly as he continued the picture of the girl he was thinking that after he finished to leave the drawing somewhere on the ship after he got off so the girl would find with the message about the Cathar people so she could study it making her learn more about her people that's only if she didn't go to the co-ordinates he asked her to go to.
