The Fast and the Furry (FZ)

[Talau the Ever-Lurking]

When it came to pleasure planets, Zeltros was the top of the list. It also happened to be the current orbit for a well outfitted Ogma-class frigate. The crew had been scheduled for some down time sooner than later, and so the captain of this particular vessel had decided it would be...wise...to give them their time at a port that would be best suited for some stress relief of all sorts.

Of course, as she made her way casually along the streets, she figured that it was always a bit amusing how this was the place her military career had started. In fact, her favorite dive here was still the one she'd been working at when she'd met the people who had changed her life, bringing it to this point. As she strode into the small bar and restaurant, the farghul woman simply found herself a seat at the counter without so much as a word to anyone, dropping her jaunty little naval officer's hat down atop it and snatched up a menu as she hooked on long leg over the other.

Zeltros. A jewel among the stars. While many planets had ways to keep its inhabitants and tourists properly entertained, few were practically "built" for it. Zeltros was one of those few. The planet prided itself on being the "life of the party", so to speak, with many of its businesses garnered towards pleasure and entertainment. This was made even easier by the species that dominated the planet, the Zeltrons. With their ability to manipulate others through pheromones, the Zeltrons could easily make your day so much better.

It was a shame Shine didn't visit the planet more often. But considering the range of events that he'd come into contact with recently, Shine figured it was for the best to take a load off someplace where getting into trouble was a good thing. Here, Shine could enjoy the simple pleasures of a good card game, a solid drink and quite possibly, the exotic beauty of a Zeltron in relative peace, without the fear of encountering a situation that was far out of his element.

Shine had spent the day exploring, taking in the sights, the sounds and the smells of this exotic world. There was plenty to do, plenty to see...and no shortage of interesting people to meet. And those Zeltron ladies...Shine didnt' stare often but...well, they sometimes made it rather hard not too. However, now that it was getting late, it was time for some more...nightly activities. Shine had spotted a particularly good looking dive during his travels earlier and now that night was here, it was proper time to check it out.

Shine hadn't walked more than two steps into the dive before his eyes were drawn to someone within. He'd seen plenty of amazing things today, but this was the first one to surprise him; a person he knew. Well, he hadn't met the woman he was seeing per say, but he did recognize her. Not so long ago, Shine had fallen down a hole in the ground and through it, met his droid companion, Vistal. During that time, he'd been shown a small group of people who seemed to have Familiars of their own. The woman at the bar that he was now approaching was one of them.

Dropping calmly into the seat beside him, Shine motioned to the bartender to bring him a simple drink and a menu before he turned in his seat and smiled at the Farghul woman. "Now I've seen plenty of things I've never seen before today. But I never expected to see a sight that I have seen before. You wouldn't happen to remember a little place on Kuat where specialized droids were handed out, would you?"

It wasn't often that Zharra could be found without her ever faithful friend Roshgar, the huge and snowy shistav having a great many of the qualities she enjoyed in another being. However, he detested the planet and had made it quite clear years ago that he'd much rather haunt his duty station than set foot on it. That...was a shame. Her farghul nature loved the potential Zeltros had for getting into a bit of trouble, but it worked out since she had been able to leave Diana with the hulking chief of security, rather than bringing her planet-side. This was mainly because it was just what sort of trouble she wanted get into that she was debating right now as she ordered her drink.

It wasn't until she was sipping at it, however, that someone settled into the seat beside her. Twisting one ear around, her mind nearly immediately placed the voice to a face. Turning, she wasn't disappointed...her memory was just as good as ever, it seemed. Still, she wasn't entirely sure how to answer his question. It didn't seem the place she recognized him from would especially like mention of it, but....he had been pretty vague...

"Perhaps. Though Kuat is full of odd places...I couldn't possibly remember them all," came the smooth reply, both ears perked in his direction now as she leaned one elbow on the counter. "I do seem to recognize you from somewhere, however..."

Smiling back at the Farghul woman, Shine took his attention away from her momentarily as the bartender returned with his drink. Flipping the man a credit, Shine gave him a word of thanks before returning his attentions to the lady. He was not rude in the matter, not even close. He'd waited till she finished speaking before addressing the bartender; a woman like this deserved that.

Now, Shine rarely forgot a face. Considering the trade he was in, forgetting a face could be a fatal mistake; you wanted to remember the people you could trust and those you should be making star trails once you saw them coming. As such, he knew he wasn't mistaken in recognizing this woman as one of the people he saw upon the screen while he was in the underground base on Kuat. But remembering she was there was all he had; he had never heard her name, nor did he know much more about her other then the fact that she had a Familiar as well.

For a brief moment, Shine regretted not bringing Vis along through the city. He would have known all that Shine needed to know about the lady and would most certainty love to know another of his kin was near. That brief moment passed in a flash; Shine would have to learn all these things the hard way.

He wouldn't have wished it to be any different.

"You're not wrong there...the planet does attract a fair share of oddities. Hmmm...let me think...perhaps if I removed my shirt and broke my arm I would be easier to recognize? On the off chance that it does not, well, then I may be entirely mistaken in believing I saw you within a shed of sorts with a small group of others upon the planet. In which case, allow me to say my name is Shine Albatros and it is a pleasure to meet you."
