h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*SW-888 enters the ignition codes from his backseat*

*Ring closes door and lifts back ramp once X-wing parks safely*

RING: Got company, Es. Clean up a bit, eh?

*SW-888 makes a noise*

*Ring sits*

RING: Let's see... everything working fine.

Lift off... *presses buttons*

*to Ring*

Is there anywhere to sleep? It's been a long day

*thumbs behind*

RING: Grab yourself a bench, kid. Not muchof a rest, Geonosis only a parsec a way...

*pats ship console* Not enough to test you is it?

<*grabs bench and rips it off the wall* >

*lies down on a bench and enters a resting and recuperating trance*

SW-888: +++NOT HITTING HYPERSPACE+++

*ship groans*

*Ring gets up and moves into back*

RING: She's back! *he smiles and whacks hyperdrive with a spanner* Never trust Annat to do your mechanics.

*plops back into seat and stars blur as he buckles up*

*Wakes from his trance felling rather better than he did before entering it*

So we're on our way to Geonosis then?

*SS stops*

RING: Nope we're at geonosis.

Do that mind thing, see if you can find Tayswi.

*reaches out through the force, looking for Annat*

I cannot sense him on the planet, is he meant to be here?

RING: Well if he's expecting us to hand over weapon designs...

Weapon designs?! To whom are you supposed to be handing these weapon designs?

RING: Pfft! Him I guessed.


*to SW-888* Open a channel with the Interceptor.

*SW pads in some numbers*

what weapons are these designs for?

RING: Armour and rifles apparently.

*throws datapad to mihar*

*the Datapad shows designs for sheer black armour, distinguished by a name tag. The Armour is close fitting and highly articulated to allow for lightsaber duelling.*

*the pad then cycles over to show designs for a laser carbine. It is short and squat barrelled, but numbers below indicate it fires extremely rapidly at a power that can cleave through body armour. However the battery packs only hold enough for 30 rounds*

*mumbles to himself*

Hmm, I'm not sure about these plans, the design of the armour indicates that they are for Jedi, but then why the rifles, unless... They're to attack Marol's clone army. Oh my... I wonder if the council know about this.

*to Ring*

umm I just need to go and check on something in my ship. Casey, you stay here.

*leaves for the landing bay*

*at his ship Mihar radios to Casey, through his comlink to let him know if Ring or SW head his way. Mihar uses his ships radio to open an, encoded, signal to yavin*

RING: Pff. Jedi.

*Mihar waits in his ship for a response from Yavin*
