[FTL RP, WE'RE BACK, REBOOTED!] The Rogue Cadets

Lux said to Kyrie "I'm not sure if the Rocks would appreciate having Humans along... besides, I think we should look into light freight work with the runabout while Bren tries to play relationship councillor... or at least fakes it."
Eden chimed in "I'm sure there's a Rockman who doesn't care what your skin is made up of as long as they can get their goods from one planet to another without breaking the bank in shipping charges or tithes."
"Tithes?" Lux asked "Wouldn't they..."
"Charge a bigger tithe for outsiders?" Eden interrupted "That's why you got to be discrete about it... and speaking of discrete..."

She sent one such application to Lux's datapad. "Hmm... it seems there's a Rockman on Numa II looking to spread literature denouncing the Holy Words to Numa III."
She looked to Kyrie "Should we take that offer?"

Bren sighed a bit, "Fine, I'll go but what about the lanius can't exactly bring em"

Eden said "Am I the only adult around here who can get things done? Why not have Ruwen do something?"
Lux giggled "Maybe because if he sets foot on the station or anywhere in the system, he'll probably get treated like a god..."

Eden rolled her eyes, then quickly said "Ruwen, if anyone asks if you're a god, just say yes."
"Unless the Rockmen treat him like a god trapped in a mortal form..." Lux remarked "Like in that episode of Captain Awesome where he was thrown into a great big fire because the natives believed that was the only way to release him from his mortal form."

Ruwen sighed a bit, "Well I suppose I could stay here and translate for the Lanius, they still don't understand your Galatic Common" he said

Bren noddedh is head and went over and dropped Ruwen off on the large rock ship


"Take care man" He said following the beacon trail, he would be gone for a while and sighed, "If I'm not back in 14 Standard Cycles presume I'm dead" he said

“Sounds controversial. And that usually means high pay, so I say we take it.” Kyrie looked at the datapad. “I’m assuming they’ll want someone not rock since it’s basically blasphemy, so that helps too.”

"Ok, Bren. Take the Scarab on your diplomatic mission. We're gonna stay docked at the station and keep our heads down while in our crippled state. If anyone tries to shoot at us, I'm sure the station and the Lanius can help us out." Jake said. "Oh, and as for the Pelican. Go do whatever hauling you need to do, just be careful. While your hull isn't in tatters like mine, you're in the yellow zone. Be careful out there. Same goes for you, Bren."

"Don't worry captain, oh by the way checked the hull, a lot of the salvaged engi medical bot system survived, see if they want to deal with that or if you can repair it and use if your own ship or something" he said sending the crate over their ship, which of course caught with thier simple tractor beam"

And with that he beamed out, hopefully nothign bad happens

Jake picked up the Engi med bot tech. If he could install it... it would be a serious advantage for hand to hand combat and overall crew safety. Upon receiving the device in the lower-hanger cargo hold, he opened it to find a jumbled mess of burnt wires and electrodes. "I certainly have my work cut out for me," He said into the empty room, his voice echoing.

Ruwen however was looking around the station, looking at the walls and so on, "The rocks are doing very well for themselves" he thought as he touched the wall and closed his eyes, then shook his head, "However the technology to speak to their ships has been lost" he thought

(to clarify its not like the ships are alive its more like they found a way to fuse their bodys into the ship, for a few moments becoming the ship, useful for great shots, identfying problems or in some cases offering their lives to become the ship to get them out of danger, the risk is losing their mind into the crystal and becoming apart of the crystal itself, not a nice way to go)

"Exactly. We'd be scapegoats" Lux remarked as she prepared the runabout for departure within the system.
"So according to the information from Eden, the Rockmen have both physical and digital copies of the Holy Words" she explained to Kyrie "We're to be transporting the heretical literature as physical books disguised as the Holy Words..."
The runabout passed by several Rock ships moving about in the system; mostly haulers. A red-painted Rock Scout showed up on the screens; it was docked with a larger, orange-painted freighter. "Those red ships are the Grand Inquisition's vessels. I expected them to be as much..."

Eden said she'd leave the Pelican in the docks for the moment while she searched for further contacts and contracts within the area. "Maybe I'll get lucky and I can get you an Engi who can deal with your electronics" she said to Jake "or a Rockman mechanic who knows better than to cold weld hull plates into position."

[Chickengames]

“Alright, how many of these books are there? They better not be heavy.” Kyrie looked out at the red ships. “Grand Inquisition? Who are they? I don’t know much about rocks.”
