(actually, my blaster wasn't out either, but I'll go with it ) Raph'e holstered his weapon, but left his hand resting on it's grip. "All right, let's just be civil here. No need for violence." He turned to Jorek. "Good to see you again. Care to tell me what's up?" He looked towards the Twi'lek. "I assure you, this has never happened before. If you are still looking for a job, I'm sure Fixer would be delighted to take you on. Any skills in mechanics, electronics, computers, or something else business related?" He turned to Jorek. "I'll leave to discuss the droid business, since that's your department." He gestured to the Gen'Dai. "And is there anything you need that might be provided here?"

Jorek nodded as App met his wishes for resolve and continued on as if nothing had happened. "Hey, nothing really. I got some stuff to go over with you about some additions to the racer after I get done here. I think you're gunna like it." He said, cracking a mechanical smile at App.

((technically... you wouldnt be able to tell im Gen'dai.. unless your like a genious or a force user... but i'll roll with it.))
Jorgun whipped two more cred cards out of his pouch. "I need a very fast and strong assualt fighter. If you have one of those you can keep the change." He handed the two cards to Raph'e. "If not, then you can take me to Mandalore. Those are your choices, else give me those back." he pointed to the two cred cards he just handed the man that held immense value.

"I'll come back sometime later, but for now, the hunt calls me.", Talgo said to the shopkeeper, then turned to Jorgun. "I'll follow you on your quest, we will both recieve great honor in a hunt like this."

Astonished by the humans change in motive, Jorgun was forced to do a double take.
"What......you wish to help me ... with this sith?"
Jorgun looked about. apologized for the rucus and decided to move along.. the next shuttle was coming anyways.
"Do you have ship?"

They both started towalk out the exit to the repair shop. Jorgun turned his head slowly one last time to stare at jorek through his helmet for a minute.. as if he'd seen him before. then he walked out after the Mando.
"We should gather intel first.. head to Tatooine." he said as they neared the ship on the landing pad.

Talgo pressed a button on his wrist gauntlet, the boarding ramp came down and the door on the Hunter's Jewel I opened. "Head straight through the cargo hold to the latter, I'll be up in a moment. B3 might be startled, since your not me."

Talgo finished his checking of the systems on a computer panel. The Mandalorian walked over to Jorgun, the boarding ramp retracted and the door closed. "Alright, up the latter to the cockpit.", Talgo said, climbing the latter ahead of Jorgun. "B3, ignite engines and lift off asap!, Talgo called to B3-A3.
"Yes master", B3 replied before asking, "What coordinates should I lock in for the autopilot?"
"Category: Planets: Tatooine: Garuuba's Palace.", Talgo stated, sitting down.
"Master, autopilot is online, coordinates set."
Talgo's ship entered orbit of Ord Mantell, and jumped to hyperspace.

Jorek stared blankly as everything happened around him at seemingly unreal speeds. After it was all gone he looked around in shock, not believing what had happened. In the span of an hour or three this had gone from average day, to potential gunfight, to uncomfortable and crowded reception desk, to average day again. "Can somebody tell me what the fek just happened here?" He looked around expecantly to App or the Twi'lek, or even Fixer, who had remained almost completely silent throughout the entire ordeal.

Raph'e watched what happened around him, unable to even reply before the two exited the repair facility. He watched in confusion as they strode away, and looked towards Jorek. "You tell me, I've been around for about half as long. Maybe Fixer knows knows something?"
He turned towards Fixer, who hadn't said a word the entire time. "Well, on the bright side, I'm back."
Despite all that had just happened, he could keep the grin from his face. It was good to be home.

Doneeda gave him an "I don't know" sort of look as he asked. It was certanly odd, thats for sure. But, she hadn't dealt with a third rate transport company, and a sleaze ball of a cab driver who was constantly trying to pick her up and checking her out in the mirror of his speeder to be turned away by some mix up with a couple of armored guys with nothing more important to do than talk about killing . So she looked around from person to person and decided to figure out how to get a job...she wasn't in the mood to go all the way back to Courscant just yet.
Sooo...who in char'ere?
She asked, looking from person to person, waiting for a response.

Fixer digested the events that had occurred in the last hour and exhaled for what seemed like a minute. He bowed his head and looked over at Raph'e.
"Good timing App. I think we need to stash a shatter gun under the desk here just for situations like that." He reached with a shaky hand to a small glass of water that was sitting behind the desk. It shook him up. He had been a whomprat in headlights. He could have given a damn if the water had come from the refresher bowl. He took a long drink, and sighed again. "I don't know what that was but it really was... confusing."
After another long sigh he looked over at Jorek and the Twi'lek that was next to him. "We'll get the programs worked out in a minute." After a moment of heavy breathing and another drink of water he wiped the visible sweat off his brow.
Fixer attempted to give the Twi'lek a winning smile, yet found that only a nervous wrinkle appeared on his face. He drained the glass of water and set it on the desk. "Miss," He addressed the Twi'lek. "If you'd be so kind as to have a seat I need to go take care of something quickly. I will be right back. Judging by your pack and clothes, your probably looking for work." He looked over at Raph'e.
"App," He said, motioning Raph'e over to him. ((Not trying to godmod, just trying to move plot, and catch up.)) When Raph'e got within whisper range he whispered over his shoulder. "You remember when I hired you a couple months back? Give her something challenging to do. Observe her a bit. I need to hit the refresher. That situation was all kinds of uncomfortable." When he'd given Raph'e his task he smiled again at Jorek and the Twi'lek and made off to the closest refresher.

Raph'e nodded. "I agree. We should probably all carry hold-outs or somethin' too. That was damned crazy."
He leaned in close as Fixer whispered to him, and nodded. "Will do Fixer." It wasn't the greeting, or really even the task that he'd been expecting, but it would do. He turned to the Twi'Lek.
"All right, what are you wanting to do exactly? I'm expecting you to be into mechanic work, but we're flexible around here."

Doneeda watched for a sec and cocked her head to one side when the man behind the counter spoke to her, and went to sit down. The three of them whispered something amongst themselves then the one who had walked in in the middle of everything, came over and spoke to her.
I ca' do a bid of whad'evar. God 'sperence on droids an' ships, work'd in a droi'epair shop for a bid, work'd on speedars an' ships awhile bak. I have mos'lee do ships dough, don' ever'ding from repulsors do power inv...innn...whas it call...
She dropped back into her native tongue.
ke'dasal'mak...dama...seko...saekkooottaaalll...
She muttered under her breath in Twi'leki.
Invardars!
She said triumphantly.
I god'los ov 'sperence...les jus 'ay dat, I'n bettar a' fixin' den talkin.
She said, with a nervous grin. Which, was all she could do to hide the fact that nervous wasn't really the right word. All the strange people, and the fact that she'd just had to drop into her own language to figure something out...she was almost shaking.
I sooo blowed it...
She thought, waiting for a response.

He grinned as she explained her talents to him. He had worked with Twi'Leks before, back on Commenor, so he hadn't had a whole lot of trouble understanding. In fact, he kind of liked the way of speaking. It never ceased to make him chuckle.
"Ships, eh? Well then, let me think... That little ship we're using for the derby is already here, isn't it? Yeah, that'll work. Go out into the hangar, and find the Star Saber out there. Use whatever tools you need, and do a complete diagnostic, maintenance, and tune-up. Find any problems and fix them if you can. Keep in mind that this will be a racing ship. When you're finished, report to me. Jorek, you've been tweaking with that ship, especially it's programming, right? You better go with her. Supervise her work, and make sure she doesn't run afoul of any modifications you might have made."
He turned back to the Twi'lek. "If you get the job done well, then I think you'll have a job." He stepped aside and motioned her towards the hangar. "Get to it."

Jorek had been idly surfing the channels till he heard App say his name, then it had all come back and he was filled in. He looked over at the Twi'lek, his head turning robotically. "Please follow me to the hangar." He said with a harsh, barely human voice then promptly turned and walked towards the door.
He went halfway back to the virtual world as he strode down towards the hangar assuming she had followed as spontaneously and seemingly programmed as he had started off.

Doneeda nodded and thought it odd the way Jorek spoke. Then again, he was a cyborg, so it sort of made sense, in a roundabout way. She walked into the hangar and looked around, spotting the ship rather quickly. There was an older freighter, and it. It was a small ship, bout 15-20 m long and, judging by the engines, they weren't kidding it was for racing. But it looked like it'd been sitting for awhile, most of it showed signs of age and weathering, and more than likely it wasn't any more race worthy than the asteroids it was flying through. The tools were pretty obvious, either scattered around or in the boxes, and the diagnostic tools were on top. But she had an idea...
Hay...Jordek, is d'compudar drowing any err'codes? I don' wan' pull someding apar'n fin i'work or domeding.
She said as she pulled one of the diagnostic panels off the right engine to have a gander. Upon opening it, it was rather apparent that the engine needed to go. There were a couple of indications of this, first, the sheer amount of soot in the compartment, second, the fist sized hole blown in the inner engine housing.
Y'kno wha? On seco'thought, don' bodar...mos'off dis heep i'prolly scrap anyays.
She walked over to the wall and pulled a datapad off, and took the first of many notes.
Replace engines with CEC J-32's and CX-7 AB units.
So...where you from?
She asked as she pulled panels off the right engine, getting it ready for removal.
