Rah was laying in the shade of the make-shift pavilion. He was just about to drift off when something occurred to him; where had that blasted bounty hunter gotten to? The pirate sighed and got up stiffly. Hajime! Where the blast are you? I don't hear any power tools whirring or any curses of agony! Only silence met him. Silence that was broken suddenly by the hum of starship engines. Rah glanced up to see Hajime's ship disappear into the distance.
Grrr, ah well...I suppose it was too good to be true. Tssslk!
Yesss sssir?
So come on now, how much did he take?
What do you mean?
How much of my blasted treasure did that scalliwag make off with?
None at all actually. He sssaid he felt no further need of ssstaying ssso he left.
Rah shook his head and wandered over to find Frogu. He turned the corner of the Shock Hammer to run straight into a strange face. By the look of this figure he was obviously a Jedi, but why hadn't anyone told him there was ANOTHER person here?
Tssslk fluttered down onto Rah's shoulder. Ahh yesss, I forgot to mention. There isss someone here who wishhhes to asssssist usss. I think he isss a Je- oh. I sssee you've found him.
Rah ignored the tulvaree and addressed the new man directly. You have any idea how many people have shown up here in the last couple hours offerering their help? You think I wouldn't think something was up? Who sent you?! Was it that blasted Admiral?! What are you planning!? Rah yelled these questions as he flailed wildly. This was just getting ridiculous.

Avoim had a puzzled look on his face, he then said “No being sent me, I felt a ripple of despair in the Force and followed it to here, when a starfighter left, so do you require my services or not?” Avoim put his hand near his Lightsabers but not directly over them so it wouldn't look as if he were preparing for battle, even though he was, he didn't like the tone of this man, and thought that it was necessary to take this precaution in case the man decided to kill him and make some cash off his items.

Frogu jolted his head to the side as the bounty hunter left very unexpectedly. As soon as Hajime pulled out another ship landed. One of Frogu's combat/service droids had left his turret and had set up a shade made of fine royal cloths propped up by two metal poles. Frogu looked at the newcomer with the sniper rifle and said.
"I'm trusting you, make yourself at home, join us. We are working to repair the big ship over there."
Frogu ran off to greet the even newer-comer. He had lightsabers on his belt. Frogu importantly shifted his belt to show his lightsaber hilt. Rah had beaten him to the man and was yelling at him. Something about an admiral. He needed to calm down. The little creature stepped in
"Now Rah, dont be rude, the more the merrier in terms of getting off this rock. If he tries anything he dies. by the way another is over there, I welcomed him.. my combat driods have a beat on him, he tries he dies my freind. Take a seat ill greet this new one."
Frogu looked at the Lightsaber-man and extened his hand freindily "Welcome, I am Frogu, we are working to repair the big ship over there.."
Frogu pointed to the shock hammer.
"We can talk prices and fees later, dig in, join us."

Avoim shook the mans hand and said “I'll be more than happy to help,but I do expect payment of some kind, I'm not the kind of man you want to screw over.” Avoim then walked to the ship, noticed the lot of holes in the ship, apparently from a space battle. Avoim then extended his right hand and used the force to grasp a sheet of Durasteel and levitated it over to the area he was at, he then unhooked his normal Lightsaber with his left hand, placed the Durasteel sheet against the ships hull. He then placed Lightsaber against the edges and started melding it together.
He then said “Did I mention I was once a Jedi Knight of the Republic?” Avoim chuckled a bit as he assumed the people would be kind of shocked. Avoim knew that he'd get his payment or take the payment from them. With the money he'd buy more consumables for his ship, more everything as well as repairs and the like for himself. With the money he'd also buy some supplies to make another Lightsaber, a double bladed or dual-phase Lightsaber, he just didn't know yet but he'd be on the road down a path to the Jedi Order, or at least a student in some way.

Rah closed his eyes and took a deep breath before looking the Jedi in the eyes once more. The pirate opened his mouth to speak, then closed it and shook his head. Rah turned instead to the tulvaree now perched on his shoulder. Tssslk...kindly speak for me in this matter. You tend to be better at this than I am anyways. I'm going to go back to the pavilion and work on the reactor core before I stab somebody.
Of courssse sssir.... The tulvaree reperched upon a nearby boulder as Rah strode stiffly back around the hull of the Shock Hammer mumbling something about treachery, lightsabers, and flaming pinatas. Now, let me sssee if I underssstand. There isss another newcomer here Frogu? I will sssee to him in Rah's ssstead. In the meatime.... Tssslk turned his gaze to the Jedi. Jussst carry on with the hull repairsss you're doing....sssplendidly. We ssstill have much treasssure left over from our last raid, you may help yourssself to it asss "getting off thisss rock" isss our greatest priority asss well.
Tssslk took wing in the direction Frogu said the newcomer had arrived from. After a few seconds of circling, the tulvaree spied the man and alighted suddenly in front of him. Ahhh, more assssissstancccce. Pleassse, we could ussse your help with the capacccitor conduitsss.

Loogark, after recovering from a slight catatonic state, evidently caused by heat exhaustion, looked around the site. Strange figures roamed the wreckage of the vessel, some of which he had already seen before through his rifle's scope. The ship looked heavily impared, yet fixable, but he obviously required the assistance of the other... scavengers.
"I... Offer my help to fix that ship, just... If you could spare some water... "The shistavanen looked seriously dehydrated, leaning on his long-barrelled rifle to keep from collapsing.
(((OOC: Sorry about taking so long. I've been trying to get a handle on this thing, reading the whole thread over and over again, so I thought it would be best if I just started over again.)))

Frogu half-frowned as Rah went off to go fix something... over there away from everyone else. The odd blue creature seemed to be very frustrated with all the newcomers. Did he not realize that they were all here to help him.. even if it was at a price? Frogu felt uneasy at the mention of the Jedi Order. He knew Jaon, the man who made his lightsaber, was also a former jedi. He hadnt heard from that Jedi since... He voted not to dwell on it. Rah's strange companion went off to deal with the other newcomer... and Frogu approached the former jedi and Assisted in the welding with his lightsaber, the short, lime-green blade hissing from its emitter. He hoped that they new jedi wouldn't try and get his treasure Frogu would rather die than part with it.

Avoim had been fixing the holes on the hull of this ship for several minutes, when the strange short creature came out of know where, pulled a Lightsaber out and began to weld pieces of Durasteel back on. Avoim made sure to make a Mental note to ask how he got a Lightsaber and how he was able to use it so well. After a few hours the holes on the ship were all repaired, Avoim then walked over to the man in the tent, assuming that it was his ship, and said “The Holes aren't an issue, that'll be the about.....” Avoim stopped to think for a moment.
After three minutes, Avoim finished his previous sentence “ The Equivalent of Five Hundred Thousand Credits, for the holes; the more work I do, the more I charge ya.” Avoim then awaited the mans reply, but in the mean time said “I don't need it right now, unless you don't want any more of my help, if you do need more help, then you can hold off till I finish.”

Oh dear.... Tssslk eyed the bedraggled man pitifully. Normally I would take advantage of your weaknessss to make you a tasssty morsssel, however, Rah requiresss all the help he can get so I will go againssst my nature. Consssider yourssself lucky you met the right tulvaree.
Tssslk took wing and disappeared behind the large silhouette of the Shock Hammer. Meanwhile, Rah was tinkering with the reactor core with a rusted welding mask over his face when the Jedi approached him. The pirate glanced up and placed his tools down in irritation. Didn't Tssslk give you a job? I don't really care about the importance of the holes or the cost to be ridden of them. Just get back to work and leave me be. You will be payed generously I assure you. Rah flicked his mask back down and continued to solder the reactor conduits back into place.
Without warning, the work table shook and Rah cursed as the wire he was about to attach became fused with the interior of the reactor. Tssslk! Be more careful where you land you hairy vynock! I outta-
The newcomer isss dieing. He needsss water.
Rah cursed loudly as he threw down his tools hard and stomped off in the direction Tssslk had just come from. As he rounded the hull he could see a decrepit figure leaning piteously upon a large rifle who's mouth gaped with parched lips. The pirate rolled his eyes and pulled his canteen from his belt. He glared at the man and placed one hand on the hilt of his vibroblade while the other extended the water in offering.

A proud shistavanen warrior, begging a scraggly-looking feeorin for water... Loogark was evidently not pleased with this particular situation, but alas, we was not willing to die yet. Struggling to keep it aligned, he stretched his left hand, and took the cantine from his apparently discontent benefactor, bowed down slightly, and quickly swigged down the water, to about half it's original volume. Feeling somewhat recuperated, he wiped the clinging water from his hirsute face.
"You have my thanks, Feeorin. *cough* I am Loogark Rekh, and as aforementioned, I offer my help in repairing this... ship, of sorts... "
Loogark took one more sip of water, and offered the cantine back to its owner with a stern, yet thankful demeanor, standing barely upright again, and strapping his large rifle to his back.

Frogu hopped onto his mouse droid and directed it in the direction of the newcomer, the one with the rifle. He rode by and said "go see the blue one!" He then turned around and made his way towards Rah. He arrived at the Blue humanoid's feet and said.
"The new one is coming up. I don't know the first thing about ship repair, but I think that soon this thing will be goody enough to fly, right? I mean, have you done systems checks?"
Frogu stood there, waiting for a response. He knew Rah was frustrated, but he would just have to deal with that.

Rah reached out to take the canteen which he placed back in his belt. He then turned his gaze back to the newcomer and spoke quietly. My name is Rah Boralis. This is indeed my ship. I have had the...fortune of being stumbled upon by many figures down on their luck such as yourself. If you will assist us in these final repairs, you will be given food, shelter, and whatever riches you wish to take...
Frogu zipped by on his mouse droid and addressed him. Rah glared at the tiny creature irritably for a moment before speaking I did a diagnostic not long ago. Many minor systems are still inoperative, but the reactor is the only crucial system to our departure. Unfortunately, it was badly damaged in my recent encounters and many of its subsystems were fried. Other than that, hull repairs are still necessary to keep the craft airtight and intact during re-entry.
Rah stomped off back to his pavilion where the reactor panel was exposed. He picked up a fusion cutter and yelled back to the newcomer. Rekh! Go ahead to the crew quarters and lie down for a bit! When you feel up to carrying some durasteel, come out here and inquire to Tssslk for your assignment. Only a few more days and we should be ready!

OOC: Catatafish just isnt gonna post.... we NEED to do a time jump and get the hell outta here before this whole thing dies.
IC: Frogu yelped as Bzzt turned over his his side and threw Frogu off. He rose quickly, embarrassed, and acted like nothing had happened as he righted his robot, who did rapid circles around the House the second it was able. Something was wrong with that droid... it was most likely very old. When it wasn't spazzing out, it got the job done. Frogu put up the hood on his Jawa robe as strong gust of wind blew sand and red earth particles down his neck. He didnt want to bother Rah, so he went back to take a quick food break at the House As he went up the ramp, he called back
"Anyone want food?"
He wasn't going to let anyone in his ship... and he realized how stupid his question was because he didn't know what anyone ate.... he only had fruit so they would have to deal with it...

((OOC: LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!))
It had been many days of endless toil. Though the ragtag group of castaways and treasure hunters remained wary of each other, an efficient working group had been established. Now, the restored splendor of the Shock Hammer loomed before the tired workers, a testament to their effort.
Rah stood in the bridge of the Shock Hammer and was yelling into the intercom All hands to your stations! Prepare to release the docking lines! Frogu, get your ship ready for take-off! Avoim, that goes to you as well! Rekh, join me in the bridge and help prepare for liftoff!
The Tear Runner had been loaded into the hangar and the campsite packed. The supply crate lay empty and discarded amongst the red sand of the desert. The Shock Hammer itself was sufficiently patched, and though many minor systems were still damaged, plenty worked to allow safe transportation to another system where they could receive professional repairs.
Gentleman! We have worked endlessly these past weeks! And now our efforts have been rewarded. Behold! The most fearsome pirate vessel in the galaxy! Let our presence be known and let a swift end come to any who appose us! All engines online. Rekh, activate main repulsor drive! Tssslk, retract the landing gear! Hang on to your seats!
Rah slowly pushed the large throttle lever next to the wheel forward. An intense pressure pressed his back hard against the chair as the Shock Hammer lunged forward through the sky. The ignition had blasted the sand into a deep crater where there camp had lain, now nothing but a smoldering supply crate lying half-buried in the sand.

OOC: Are we moving this RP straight to Mygeeto?
IC: It had been a few weeks since Frogu had landed the House, his modified dynamic-class freighter on a barren patch of earth occupied by a bounty hunter and a pirate. Soon enough that bounty hunter left, and a rogue jedi had arrived just as quickly, and after him, a starved marksman of some sorts. Frogu had developed somewhat of a relationship with his new companions. It appeared that they would accumulate treasures together. For the first time he could remember, Frogu was apart of something. He sat in his cockpit, tingling with excitement. Soon Rah's voice came over the comm, a rousing speech while at the same time issuing commands. After two years in this galaxy, this place of starships and politics and combat and all the grandeur of civilization, Frogu had never mastered the whole flying thing. but he knew how to take off and land and cruise... he left the maneuvering to his droids... they were good at it.
The treasure was back in its unruly pile, the combat droids in their turrets, and an astromech on the autopilot terminal. He heeded Rah's words, and he blasted off, following the far larger Shock Hammer out of Korriban.

Finally, he was off that cursed planet. Loogark was content taking orders from the captain of the Shock Hammer for weeks, just waiting for the moment when all that backbreaking labor payed off, and the ship finally left Korriban leaving nothing but a crater of sand. He had always been somewhat of a lone wolf, yet this... crew... had grown on him some, during the past few days. It felt good to be part of a crew again and, well, the prospect of wealth was also a compelling factor.
"Captain, do we have a destination in mind? Personally, I would like to get as far away from this hellhole as I possibly can.", asked Loogark, keeping an eye on the ship's recently repaired navigational circuitry.

After what seemed like a life time on the dusty, lifeless planet known as Korriban the Shock Hammer was fixed and the crew was ready for lift off, after a few minutes, Avoim was told to get into his ship, which had been moved a few feet from the Shock Hammer. Avoim then began to flip switches and started up his engines, when Rah came over the CommSystem, and gave a speech that showed he had great leadership qualities in its speaker.
After the speech the ships lifted off, the Shock Hammer in the front Avoim and Frogu following, the flew into the endless night known as space and its adventures to come down the line. Avoim then Docked his Star Fighter in the Shock Hammers Hanger, and waited to be called from his ship, to the bridge or to battle, whichever happened he'd go into no matter what.
