Ahina takes cover and take off her helmet. “Wait, it’s me, Ahina! I have been in bacta tank after last mission! I don’t know what happened here!” She takes great risk in showing her face unprotected by steel, but she has to do it, to avoid killing her clan members.
“I don’t pick the side! I just wake up from bacta tank, when I was put there, whole clan was united! Please tell me brothers what is splitting our clan! “ Ahina decided to take a gamble and put blasters at holsters and move from the corner to show up to mandalorians. “I refuse to kill my clan without seeking solution”.
Spoiler: Persuation 14 vs DC 11 - success There was a pause and the two whispered between themselves. "So you, what, woke up and stole dead woman's armour?" One of them asked - they were still aiming at her, but for now, at least they weren't shooting.
“No, I woke up and find Radia badly wounded, passed out from blood loss. I stripped her from armour and put her in bacta tank. My own armour was taken to armoury, so I borrowed her own, for some protection from unknown attackers. What is Radia done, that you are wanting her death?” Ahina explained, slowly lowering her hands.
Nami took a slow, deep breath in and out, relieved to see nothing out of place. She unfastened her short coat and let it slide off her shoulders, slipping her small blaster from its hidden holster as she did so. She pushed the blaster down into the bottom of her medical bag, among the more sophisticated tools and instruments there, where she hoped its compact profile and weak power cell would not be easily detected. With one more glance at the door to make sure it stayed closed, she pulled down the zip of her bodysuit from its half-way position. As tightly as the suit hugged her body, she had to twist and bend her body to peel it off so that she stood naked and panting in the apparent privacy of her quarters, breathless with fear and shameful excitement. A light sheen of sweat covered her smooth blue skin. She ducked into the shower, feeling a burst of relief at the sensation of the hot water on her shivering body. She wished she had time to scrub herself until the feeling of dirtiness left by Thassco’s touch was completely gone, but she’d been lucky to get any reprieve, and she needed to make other preparations. She did the best she could in a hurry, head tilted back to catch the cascade of water before it ran down the curves of her body, wondering if she would ever feel clean again after what might happen later. As she dried herself off, a sudden thought gripped her: of Thassco waiting just outside for her to emerge – catching her completely defenceless. Icy fingers touched her spine at the thought, even as she felt a flutter of unwanted warmth in her lower belly. But there was no way out. Naked, and clean just for the moment, she exited the shower to get dressed. (Ok, I'm back! I hope this is good, I broke off there in case there is any interruption)
"Bid." Ina couldn't help but say in an annoyed tone as she saw the rodian. "No, it couldn't have been worse." She replies, "The moff is out of the system, with his whole army. And just as I leave, an entire rebel fleet comes to invade. We were lucky enough to rescue a few people. But we will need to prepare to defend our system, and perhaps offer aid to any attempt of a counter-attack." She grumbles, shaking her head as Bid can see that rather than her dress, she was wearing her bodysuit, perhaps letting him realize that Ina was more than ready to fight before the situation became dire.
"She's a traitor!" One of the men, the closer one, still aiming at her spot, snapped. "You saved a fucking traitor, you are against us!" His voice hard, but also high pitched, nervous or maybe paranoid?
(Welcome back! I hope you had a fun time!) As Nami exited the bathroom, to her relief (or disappointment) she found that the Selkath was not waiting for her. She was alone. But as she exited the bathroom, she realised that there was something laying on a stand next to her bed. A familiar box. Only after a moment, she realised it was a box containing her sex-toys. She seemed to have forgotten to hide the box as she was leaving the ship. Truthfully, she did not expect any guests so there was no reason to hide it...
"Ah curious times..." Bid commented, seemingly not being bothered to much by the development. "But thankfully you managed to escape." Na could not make out his expression and the large black eyes seemed to be scanning over her body. "I take the Moff is preparing a counteroffensive you plan on joining?" He asked.
“I saved women of our clan in the fight. No one could told me what happened, so I do my best to save our own”. Ahina said calmly and recognised marks on his armor. “Come on Robb, I trained with you in hand combat multiple times. I don’t want to kill you or be killed by you. Tell me, what happened here”.
"I do not know." Ina replies, shaking her head. "As of now, I have not been able to communicate with the Moff." She adds, "But if he requests my assistance, I would be more than happy to give it." She sighs. "For now, we are headed back to our system. Make sure our defenses are alert."
Spoiler: Persuasion 17 Vs DC 10 - success The man hesitated. He did not answer at once, but after a moment, he decided to speak. "After last raid, Gabe challenged Trian for leadership. The two fought, but the combat remained undecided and now both lead opposing factions for clan leadership. Now... Decide. Who's side are you on, Ahina?" He demanded as he raised his blaster.
"Of coure, governor. I shall look forward to your arrival~" He said with a long drawl, that made Ina skin crawl. "Is there anything else, Governor?" He asked.
“This is bullshit! According to our traditions, opponents for leadership are supposed to fight by their own, not among their supporters! We must cease fire between factions and make another duel for leadership”. Ahina rise hand to Robb. “Tell me, that you don’t want to kill our clan members? It is supposed to be loss of one men, not whole group!.”
Spoiler: Persuasion 16 Vs DC 14 - success The man hesitated. "This won't work Ahina. Too much blood had been spilled. Either one side wins, or the clan splits." He shook his head.
“We mandalorians lost too many good men on civil wars. It weakened us and made us more vulnerable. It is time to stop this madness”. Ahina rise hand to Robb and Hobb. “Help me get to command centre, where I can call everyone to cease fire between factions and bring them for another duel”.
"Ghh." Ina couldn't help but shudder, her blue cheeks turning a slight purple. "Report." She says, trying to maintain her commanding presence. "What has been happening in my planet during my absence?" She asks.
Spoiler: Persuation 8 vs DC 15 - fail With a frown the man shook his head. "Sorry Ahina, but we are too far into this. Now, you either join us or leave - because if you join the other group, we will kill you." He raised his blaster again.
Bid shrugged. "I am but a simple business partner~" He said - which was true. He was not imperial and had no power when it came to imperial administration... Sans the influence he had over Ina. "According to my information - it's business as usual." He shrugged.
