*Bastila blushes bright red and yanks the datapad out of Bhobs hands before he can read any further.*
You can't read that, that's private!!
*She scowls at Bhob, picks up her purse and tucks the datapad away in it before turning to follow the Czerka imposters.*
That will not be necessary, much as he deserves it for going through my purse and reading my private letters. Honestly, just because neither of you speak his language is no reason to suggest tranquilizing him.

*I speak up calmly,*
"I'm sorry, Bastila. I said that I'd rather not have to. Are we all ready to go?"
*I walk up the stairs a few more steps closer to where Lee is waiting*

*Lee raises an eyebrow as he hears Bastila shout at Bhob. He looks back to Master Shim and shrugs. Apparently Bhob was getting into something that Bastila did not want him to know about. When Bastila finally directs her attention to Master Shim and himself, he answers after Master Shim.*
Being tranquilized isn't all that bad. Just make sure you aren't completely smashed before someone does it to you. A mixture of that, throw in some hyperspace travel, I'd almost take the torture of a sith lord over that feeling.
*Lee still had no recollection of Master Shim helping him not too long after he felt that experience and passed out again. He was out cold at that point.*
Anyway, tranquilizing or not, we need to get going.

*Bhob glares at Lee and Tolaris.*
<HELLO!? I may not be able to speak it but I can understand Basic just fine! The nerve of some people... Tranquilize me, my ass! Bastila, your friends are so rude and inconsiderate that they might as well be working for Czerka! I don't like them. And tell them I'm not a cross-dresser, or else I'll find someone like Astefan who can understand Sullustan and tell them about your secret love letters!>
*Bhob continues grumbling and muttering to himself but makes to follow the others, albeit grudgingly.*

*I can tell that Bhob isn't happy, and he's speaking Sullastan. Then in light of what Bastila says, I speak to Lee,*
"Why did you have to suggest the tranquilizer? I thought you were joking, and so I spoke in a joking manner. They think we are serious."
*I walk nearly up to the door at the top of the stairs where Lee is waiting.*

*Lee shrugs*
I'm not a very serious person.
*Lee looks over to Bhob, who is obviously upset and rambling in a language he can't understand.*
I'm use to getting to that kind of reaction. Sometimes it's just amusing. *Lee shakes his head, with a smile.* That, and I didn't want to be the only one who was tranquilized. One is the lonliest number after all.

*I listen to Lee, and nod*
"I understand what you mean, though Kali was also tranq'ed, i thought."
*Turning to Bhob, I say*
"We're sorry, Bhob. We didn't mean it seriously. Is there anything that could restore your trust in us?"

*Bhob peers up at the woman and after a moment he nods, though he isn't sure how to illustrate anything further through simple hand motions, and Bastila had taken back the datapad.*
<Well, apologizing is a good start I guess. Maybe you're not so bad after all, though I still have reservations about your companion there.> *he points at Lee* <Anyway, he seems to be getting increasingly agitated the longer we stick around.>
*Bhob makes a shooing gesture towards the exit.*
<So let's get going already before he gets any grouchier or makes another lousy attempt at being funny.>

*Seeing Bhob point at the exit, Lee rolls his eyes. Lee exits the basement, pulling out a datapad. He rounds the corner from behind a building and heads towards the speeders.*
Now that we've got the price settled, we can take you to our ship and you can pick up the merchandise there.
*Lee starts tapping at the datapad, trying to look as official and business-like as a Czerka employee could. It was a good thing Lee had alot of practice when it came to business. Business had been apart of his life since he was born.*
Come along now. Our speeders are this way. We can give you a lift, free of charge. Consider it Czerka extending it's courtesy to their customers.
*He could sound as cheap and slimey as any Czerka employee too. Leave it to Czerka to actually charge for a ride somewhere after offering it in the first place. Of course adding that it was free of charge would just sound like Czerka trying to sweeten a deal.*
*Lee hopped into the speeder and rested himself in the driver's seat. He began starting up the engines, waiting for the others to be ready.*

<SHOTGUN!!>
*Bhob shoulders his way past Tolaris and hops into the front passenger seat of the second speeder.*

*I listen to Lee, and then watch Bhob. I was glad that he appeared to be better since he nodded afterall.*
*I walk outside after Lee, and chuckle after Bhob runs to my speeder and calls shotgun.*
*I walk up to the second speeder and hop into the driver's seat. Starting up the speeder, I prime the engine as we wait for Bastila.*

*Bastila exchanges glances with Tolaris and shrugs as Bhob continues speaking. Without him acting out what he says, she can't infer much of anything as she has only learned some of the more common Sullutan words and phrases. But fortunately Tolaris is apparently able to ease some of Bhob's tension.*
*As the others exit the basement Bastila delays only long enough to look over the room and be sure she and the Sullustan have left nothing there before following the others up the stairs. She glances casually but warily at the Sith patrol down the street, using the Force to make her seem not any less visible, but insignificant to the minds of the soldiers. She is somewhat disappointed that Bhob has already taken the passenger seat in Tolaris's speeder as she was hoping for some girl talk, but she says nothing and climbs into the seat next to Lee.*

*Lee wanted to smirk so badly when he saw Bhob go for Tolaris' speeder. When Bastila slid in next to him, he had to fight the urge even more. Just how jealous would Alex be right now? Well, actually, just how jealous would half the galaxy be right now. He got to lock lips with Bastila and now he got to give her a ride. But Lee managed to remain calm and cool.*
*For a moment, Lee just sat there. He was thinking of the best route to take. He didn't want to take the same cave entrance Kali did. He was trying to draw attention away from her. But wait! When he and Tolaris were back at the old sandral estate, he knew there was a cave entrance nearby. They could just as easily double back and head there. Thankfully he and Alex had spent much of their free time back in the day exploring these cave systems.*
And here we go.
*With that Lee takes off towards the cave entrance, unknowingly the one that Astefan and company had fleed to months ago.*

*I rev the speeder and stay behind Lee's speeder. We head towards the Dantooine Plains in hopes of getting to the Sandral Estate.*

*Darth Bandon arrives in the settlement on his Sith speeder, flanked by two Dark Jedi also on speeders. He looks around for the squad on patrol here and spots them coming toward him. Bandon and the others dismount.*
"I was told that your squad had seen Czerka employees here. What were they up to?"

*The squad leader answers for the patrol.*
Yes sir. A group of them seemed interested in conducting business around here. They went behind that building there. *The leader points to a building.* Then they re-emerged with a woman and a sullastan. Then they headed off in that direction. *The leader points again.*
But I don't get why, sir. They said they were taking them back to their ship to finalize business. But the only thing out that way are the caves.

*Bandon opens his mouth to respond but then suddenly two fighters zoom overhead from somewhere in Khoonda.*
"Those aren't ours! Where'd they come from?!"
*He speaks into his comlink to someone back at the Enclave.*
"Have the fleet shoot those fighters down! Capture them if possible, but don't let them get away!!"
*Bandon turns back to the squad leader.*
"Normally I would enjoy doing this sort of thing myself, but unfortunately I havent the time. Locate whoever owns that building or lives in it, and interrogate them. Feel free to use torture, they are Jedi sympathizers and have been helping to hide Bastila Shan. Search the building thoroughly, learn all you can, and then destroy the building as a warning to any who would defy us. I would prefer that whoever you find be kept alive and taken prisoner, but if they resist, kill them."
*That said, Bandon climbs back onto his Sith speeder and his henchmen follow suit. They zoom off in the direction of the caves.*

*The troopers watch along with Bandon as the fighters screech across Dantooine's atmosphere.*
=Squad Leader=
What the kark?!
*The troopers raise their blasters to shoot at them, but the squad leader stops them.*
Don't waste your shots.
*The squad leader turns back to Bandon and nods.*
Yes sir. We'll get right on it.
*When Bandon leaves, the troopers march into the building and extract anyone inside. But to their surprise, they find no one. Furious, the squad leader orders the building burned to the ground. The troopers comply and begin setting the building on fire.*

*The civilians in the settlement watch as their neighbor's house is burned to the ground*
=Joe Civilian= See? I told you that nothing good would come from the Sith being here.
=Bob Civilian= Well, they shouldn't have been harboring Jedi to begin with.
=Akkere Civilian= <And why not? Just because the Sith say so? Here's a newsflash Bob, the Sith took this planet by force. The Jedi were victims, just like our neighbors were.>
=Bob Civilian= You better watch what you say around here, Akkere. Your house could be next.
=Akkere Civilian= <That's exactly my point! Any of our houses could be next. And next time it might not just be our homes, it could be our families. We can't live in fear and oppression forever. It's been over a year since the Sith took our planet by Force. Our planet, it was never the Jedi's or the Republics. It was ours. It is ours.>
=Sarah Civilian= *Runs into the crowd*
You guys! Something's happened in Khoonda! My friend just called, people are organizing, they're storming on the Government Building. They say the Jedi started something and the Sith have lost all their defenses!
=Bob Civilian= What? How is that even possible?
=Akkere Civilian= <Remember that Jedi Master that visited us a while back? The one with the crazy mustache?>
=Joe Civilian= How could we forget a mustache like that? It was epic.
=Akkere Civilian= <It was. But anyway, this must be the moment he was talking about. Now's our chance! You two fought with me in the Battle for Khoonda when the mercenaries tried to take over. We risked our lives to save our homes. What's so different now? And with the Jedi fighting with us, we can't loose!>
=Joe Civilian= I'm with you Akkere! Let's grab our hunting rifles and get to Khoonda.
=Bob Civilian= I'm not so sure about this....
=Akkere Civilian= <Years ago, you served with me in the Khoonda Wars; now I beg you to help us in this struggle against the Sith. This is our most desperate hour. Help us Bob, this is our only hope.>
=Bob Civilian= *Bob looks to those around him as they run off to gather what weapons they have*
Okay, fine. Let's do this thing.
*The civilians of the settlement grab their hunting weapons and then get on their speeders, heading to the Government Building in Khoonda*
