Message to the Universe

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

"It's good to know my chances of reproducing are low. Saves me the time of trying." said Bermfad before stopping for a second to think. "Wait, you made a body that could have a child. Mandalore are you sure she's a droid? She seems more human then a droid should ever be."

Opressed admition: For once I agree with the meatbag.
Statement: Master, it appears that some of the local gangs are outside of the building. Somehow I think we may have interupted their little group therapy sessions.

Came Hk-47's statements as his hulking body was in the elevator door as it opened. Bermfad slipped one last comment into the mix before getting to the more serious business.

"Well your body is cute, but not that cute." said Bermfad and then looked to Mandalore taking his helmet off. His face held no smile this time. He had seen the motion he took to activate one of his implants to start simulating his bodies homones. "Your gonna kill yourself one day, old man..."

"For now I can't afford to be weak, your here to watch my back. So put that helmet back on and let's roll." said Canderous lifting his heavy repeater slightly and walking up next to HK-47. "HK, Don't hold back on these scum."

Excited statement: I shall endevour to maximize my killing compacity.

Bermfad did as he was bade and put his helmet back on, and he seemed to look at Cele as if he had something to say and then moved on. "I guess it's not over until our pretty lady sings." said Bermfad in more of a mutter then anything else. He was ready to fight. Canderous and Bermfad as if thinking the same thing stepped behind HK-47's large body so that when the door opened and if blaster fire came spilling in HK-47 would absorb most of the fire.

Celestial shook her head when Bermfad made his comment about reproduction, but did not correct him. She had meant she could simulate the process of reproduction, but she lacked genetic material of her own. She could create a child and even make an artificial womb in a droid body, but she could not pass on her own essence to a new generation. She had tried to work out such a transformation matrix to convert Binary programming to DNA sequences but there were factors which were skewing her equations. She suspected it was the Force which was causing the majority of the errors with a touch of chaos theory she had yet to find the pattern.

Celestial continue to look at HK when the elevator opened. “And I thought my jokes were bad.” Elisa said as she pulled out two of her blasters and set them to stun. She took up position behind HK and prepared for a fight. She looked back at Bermfad as the lift headed up and gave him a simple wink.

The lift doors open and she extended her hands out from HK and open fired using HK as a shield. She slowly followed HK out and when he let loose with his ACP she stepped out from behind him and took cover. Most of the thugs took cover in shear fear of the massive weapon. Cele mapped the location of all the enemies and uploaded them to Bermfad’s, Canderous’s and HK’s hubs.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Bermfad and Canderous spread out form behind HK once he had provided enough covering fire to allow them into better positions. Bermfad ran straight forward and slide to a stop on the other side of where one of them where hiding and put one hand over the edge of the small wall one of the thugs was hiding behind and shot three shots into the man. Cele's hub made doing so easy. It was like playing one of the holonet FPS with hacks.

Canderous had stepped off to the side and his heavy repeater fired up soon enough lighting up the room from a different angle of HK. They for the most part where keeping their attackers at bay and behind corners. Some of them had resorted to blind firing however the shots where poor and no were near close enough. Canderous then stopped his firing and ducked down. "When they come out, light 'em up." said Canderous to HK, more then anyone else. Bermfad's lightwhip flashed around another corner into yet another victim, and soon deactivated. Finally he tossed a regular frag grenade into a bunch of them, purposefully not cooked.

They men saw the frag hit the ground below them and scrambled, only to meet with a torrent of flames coming from HK-47's left hand. Most of them met their end there and the ones on the outside of the building who was watching were now deciding to retreat but not before leaving a present for those who were hassling them. As Bermfad had been closest to the door he looked out there at the retreating guys after cutting down another trandoshian thug running out of HK's torrent of flame.

"Looks like they are retreating." said Bermfad over his com, and then zoomed in on something on the ground outside. He recognized it as an illegally modified bomb. Military grade, most likely to blow them and the building to kingdom come. "I hope your magic fingers work on bombs, because that is something I definitely wouldn't mind you turnning off."

Celestial looked at Bermfad. "You joking right, I have access to the HoloNet and all the information it contains." Celestial said as she walked up to the bomb and pried open the case. She looked at the internal workings for a second before she ripped off the side of the bomb case and unscrewed the detonator. She slid it out it and threw it down on of the massive airshafts nearby. "What a primitive device. So what is next Bermfad, Cow tipping?" Celestial said as she looked at her hand which was leaking her green blood. She much have cut it when she ripped the case apart. She quickly placed her hand over the wound and walked over to one of the dead thugs. She quickly ripped a bandage from their cloths and placed it on her hand. She would need to repair it with the equipment that the Verpine would include on the Bebop.

"No no, you've got it all wrong! We don't tip cows any more. That's an ancient sport that died out long ago. We tip Bantha's, and if it's a sport you think you can beat me in then your welcome to try." said Bermfad in response. It looked like they were out of trouble for now, and it was time to head towards Mandalore to see if the message had been heard. They waited as Cele patched up her arm and Bermfad internally winced at the thought of feeling no pain at all as surely being a droid she did not.

"It seems we'll have enough time to get off this rock before they decide to come back. If not then they'll be sorry." said Canderous moving towards the landing pad, with HK-47 right behind him. Bermfad turned to follow as well turning his HUD to night vision.

"Think about our offer Celestial. You will always be welcome on Mandalore. I'll make sure of that." said Canderous as he passed by her. The group headed to the Ebon Hawk without much difficulty. Canderous went to start up the 'old girl's engine' as he called it, while HK-47 took a familiar position on the ship from all those years ago. Bermfad however stood outside the hatch of the Ebon Hawk looking into the distance as if standing guard or deep in thought.

Celestial keep pressure on her hand as she walked along with the Mandalorians. When they got to the Ebon Hawk, a shiny new Horizon-class Star Yacht was sitting on the pad next to it. Written on the bow of the ship in red letters was the name Bebop. Celestial looked at the ship with a smile and walked over to the boarding ramp. She turned back to the Mandalorians as they walked onto the Ebon Hawk, "She you boys on Mandalore." Celestial said. She figure she would go see what Mandalore was going to do with them, and if she was lucky she may even be able to temper their hand to prevent anymore planet wide destruction. Celestial walked onto the ship and headed to the lab which would normally be an infirmary.

Once in the infirmary she sat down and removed the cloth that was holding cloth that was holding in her blood. She looked at her hand for a second before collecting small clips and pinning the two sides of her skin together. She then rolled across the room and slid up to another table. Her she removed a item that looked like a cocking gun from a cabnet. She then slowly and evenly applied a clear substance to her hand. This was design to bind the carbon nano-tubes back together and grow new bonds when heat was applied. Celestial finished the process by walking into a chamber on one side of the room and standing in it for two minutes. This backed the glue compound, growing the skin back together.

Once finished Celestial inserted a little of the gel into her hand to replace what was lost and headed to the cockpit. There a single astromech droid rolled around. Celestial looked at it for a second and then spoke. "What is your designations?" Celestial said in the droid language.

The Astromech Droid replied in droid also. "I am EI-N4. Custom built Astromech Droid for the Bebop. I am also program to respond to Ein." The droid beeped.

Celestial looked at the droid. "Okay Ein it is. You may call me Celestial or Cele." Celestial beeped as she sat down in the pilot’s seat. She looked at the controls and quickly determined she would fly it manually until she could wirelessly slave the ship to herself. Celestial engaged the ships engine and headed out of the Nar Shaddaa atmosphere. Next stop would be Mandalore.

[Exit Celestial and the Bebop]

~~EI-N4 “Ein”~~

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Bermfad soon walked back onto the ship and headed to the cockpit. Mandalore looked over to him for a moment before taking off. They slowly climbed the hieghts of Nar Shadda's buildings weaving in and out of the cross sections and then into space. They began to calculate a hyperspace route to Mandalore. Bermfad joked before they hit hyperspace.

"Now wouldn't that just suck if our Hyperspace map didn't have mandalore?" said Bermfad giving out a hearty laugh.
