*drives upto the base parking the hoverturck again*

*he carries the scanner down the stairs*

here you go Ancha *hands him the scanner*

*runs back up the stairs and makes a few trips carrying the components down*

don't ask why I didn't use the force...

*sets about building a flight sim*

*Takes Med Scanner and checks it out.*

Thanks for picking this up for me, Jo'tra.

*Points Jo'tra in the direction of the outbuilding.*

Can you build the flight-sim in the shed, please.

yeah sure...

*takes the stuff there is several journeys and then sits there not reading instrustions and just putting it together*

A flight-sim? What's that?

*rubs Annat's back*

Jo'tra has had a few minor problems with his sapceship flying skills, so he's building a flight simulator to polish up his techniques.

< "sapceship" = "spaceship">

Oh, ahhh, right. Good, flight simulator. Also good, you flew here, not him.

I can't believe his flying is that bad! Still, the flight-sim will give him something useful to do. It might get a bit dull around here .

How about you? Have you settled in here OK?

<>

Yeah, I guess... I don't know, I'm not good at getting settled...

Well, if you want to change anything - to make it more to your taste - feel free. You can order stuff from Erianna and charge it to the house account.

It's ok, really.

*Picks up Medical Scanner.*

Let's see how young Annat is doing.

*Passes scanner over baby. Series of beeps. Checks read-out.*

Good, he checks out OK. Fighting fit.

Your turn next.

oh, ummm, ok then...

*Passes scanner over Chnei. More beeps, a buzz and more beeps. checks readout.*

Hmm. Evidence of some bumps, bruises and breaks in the past. Showing elevated levels of nervous tension. Blood pressure slightly high. But otherwise in reasonable physical condition.

Want to see?

You can see all that on there?

*looks at scanner wearily* No...

*Annat wakes up*

*Annat begins to pull at Chnei's hair*

Ow ow ow...

Annat:

Shhhhh, shhhhh...

*to Ancha* You got any food for him?

Just tell the droids if he needs feeding and they will bring you the goodies.
