Mental characteristics
Personal history
One of the Kaminoan scientists named Mar Jani thought it was a little silly to raise all these diverse, specialized “clones” and not a one of them is female. Humans are sexually diverse for a reason!
So, uh, that resulted in me. One very, very unauthorized experiment. I had a full pod, but, well, things happened.

OOC: The Web of Silar Mins Postscript
Dear GM:
I started with 51 CP.- Blaster: DC-17 spends 5 points, goes from "5D+2" to "6D+0"
- Con (the art of LYING SO MUCH) spends 3 points, goes from "3D+1" to "3D+2"
- Tactics spends 5 points, goes from "5D+1" to "5D+2"
- Communications spends 4 points, goes from "4D" to "4D+1"
- Armor Repair spends 3 points, goes from "3D+2" to "4D+0"
- I would like to pick up the new-to-me skill of Persuasion so I spend 2 points, and add to my character sheet "Persuasion 3D+0" under my Perception attribute.
Things our characters still have on their to-do list:
- Hired by Emperor Eric "Monnk" Terrek to rescue people of the Mechanis Empire. These people were stolen by Dorad Mesfaw a.k.a. fake!Silar Mins to turn into Panther Shapeshifter Slaves. We've got some of the people aboard the Banana Republic! But we may need to hunt down a few more. We won't know 'til we do a head count.
- We need to ACTUALLY RETURN these people to their home world of Mechis II.
- It is relevant to Mom Mar Jani's interests that we also undo what Dorad Mesfaw did.
- It is relevant to Vader's interests that we extract from Mesfaw what all happened to Morticia, so that she has the option of returning herself to a shuttle-type body.
- If we do not actually present the Chentavari Zoo and Conservation Station to Emperor Gregor Vortapani of the Tapani Empire, there is a non-zero chance that Dizzy Flores will not merely be yanked off her Leave of Absence in order to experience Demotions and possibly a Dishonorable Discharge, but in fact she might be put on trial for a capital crime.
- Which would absolutely have a negative impact on Dizzy's WEDDING
- We can't have a wedding unless we return to Vath's vicinity, because we can't get married via holotransmission. That would be tacky.
- Rushlight has been learning things about The Wind which might benefit from discussion with a learned colleague. None of us are educated in spooky action at a distance.
- Arrawtha and Carmen are a thing. Does Family Matriarch Iwa have things to say on this topic?
- Let's play a game between adventures: find, and list in a single place, all the mentions in all 3 campaigns of "Jack Legrange" a.k.a. "Jacques LeGrange" a.k.a. "Zel Gellanis" a.k.a. "Gel Rhomas" a.k.a. ????

I am not dead! I am, however, concussed. And my suit is kinda somewhat busted. I can't talk to Carmen because of the busted helmet. I can't see Iwa or Charkarr. Rushlight is fighting some dudes. The woman in the armor is atop a bridge, fighting more dudes. Greelo is crawling around the ambulance, which is teetering near a hole in the ground, and at that Greelo is mostly using just one arm to pull himself around because something is wrong with his legs and his other arm is wrapped around this gigantic diamond shape made out of purple crystal with a "cage" of black crystal fangs or something around its top and bottom sort of like jaws. Because of the teetering, I have to be careful about standing up or we will fall. First I advise Greelo to roll himself to the opposite end of the ambulance, in hopes that he will be safer there. Then I lay my forearm along the back of the ambulance seat, angle my DC upward to fire through the window toward the "sky". I fire one grenade at the same instant that I push my body up out of the seat with my legs, hopefully turning my "downward push" momentum into more of a "sideways push". There's a tentacle faced dude marching across the battlefield toward us, and I think he might be Sithspawn because he did that {hand gesture makes the entire ambulance move across the ground} thing. And ... what if I just ... break the black parts of the crystal thingy? The answer to that question is: the Triune person comes out of the crystal. Rushlight heard (in an argument with a Bloodmith Raider) that they are an energy creature, which I guess means they can be locked up in a weird holocron? I don't have time to think about that. Retrieve target from hostile custody: check! I would tell Rushlight so, if my helmet had rebooted comms yet. Triune says "thank you". I tell them "you're welcome" and then turn to head for the back door of the ambulance, because I need to clear some hostiles out of our path to the extraction point which we never defined uhh, my bad! A n y w a y .... Knock a Reaver away from the back door of the ambulance while everyone else works on clearing the hostiles in their respective areas. Carmen is having so much fun playing Swooping Magpie (she calls it "Lawn Darts" but that's not how you play Lawn Darts and I would know!) as she tries to catch the Eborrean unawares. She knocked him flat but didn't make impact. Somewhere in there, the Mirialan Bloodsmith and her bodyguard jumped in their shuttle without waiting for the rest of the Bloodsmiths and took off. Through Greelo's comms, I can hear Rushlight telling Spartan Imperium Admiral Hunitar that some Spartan Imperium people are mind-controlled and working for the Eborrean, and getting into trouble with Reavers. Rushlight is ordering Admiral Hunitar to take steps. This is such a bad idea!
You know what?
This is an Ancient Aw'akeen Station
It was _SUPPOSED TO HAVE LAST BEEN SOMEWHERE ELSE_
It can ~CHANGE ITS PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION~
One configuration ~MUST BE~ a Travel Configuration
I yank off my helmet, shut it down completely, and look around for Segeer.
He's near Rushlight.
I trot across the decaying battlefield.
Somewhere during the past fight, Segeer took a hell of a hit to the chest. He's being treated medically by Rushlight. I commiserate: Right side of my face is all bruises, I'm on the withering end of a stimpack (properly administered by Greelo to get me up and back into the fight) and I definitely have a concussion.
BUT LISTEN!
And I explain my thought. Station. Charkarr. Wake it up. Transform to GET OUT MODE. Venn Run!
Segeer starts grinning at the ground. Like he is not supposed to be telling us about this, but if I figured it out and said it out loud, he can confirm the possibility which he has also been thinking about. Station gots t'have a movement mode, right? Station is Aw'akeen and Kwa joint creation, right? And Charkarr and his foul mouth can scream the dead awake, he can wake the station up! Right?
Right!
I trot across a different part of the battlefield to where Iwa is (with a Bloodsmith minion in tow). I report.
Stimpack is wearing off pretty bad, so Rushlight splits another stim with half to Segeer and half to me. Hoo rah!
Segeer warns Zadra and the other Shalent to make sure they are completely within the hangar. We send Triune, Jelsa-Kerr, and Ava-Baymax to their portal, with an agreement that we will do some data searching for Triune's "daughter" who came to our galaxy a while ago and did not have a perfect vacation with the Aw'akeen back then.
Rushlight tells Admiral Hunitar that we're still Tapani Imperium, we're leaving, here's that Reaver cure as promised.
WHOOSH!

me: Iwaaaaaaaaaa! me: my leg is stuck to the street via spit Iwa me: there's an acklay trying to size me up Iwa me: pretty sure if I shriek like a boy, you know, out loud, it's going to bite me Iwa (quoting me to me): The industrial section will be really quick clear me: We're going as fast as we can! me: How do you say BAD DOG GO TO BED in really loud Wookiee? me: if you could just me: you know me: lean in to the mic? me: {turns on loudspeaker mode on her helmet} Acklay: {boops me on the helmet}
The acklay thinks I am an Aw'akeen zookeeper, here to give it noms. Oooookay then. While having our usual intellectual discussion on topics of note, we join the team back up and head toward the tube car which takes us over to the dome which will probably have our people to be rescued in it. Rushlight has some kind of a voodoo fit and talks about a woman with diamonds on her forehead; we get a comms call from Iwa's grandson Arrawtha who says they are being attacked by Reavers. Carmen is there too so I get her to give us navigational (spherical) bearing for where they are, which I think I have translated well enough that we can run their way. When we get there, the Reavers are separated by a large fountain, so there are six hostiles close to the rescuables and another five or so on the opposite side of the fountain. Iwa says that I'm the commander, what's the plan. Whawha?? Uhhh! Okay! We want more of our forces to focus on destroying the Reavers that are on the far side of the fountain. Greelo to do crowd management and pin them in place somehow, Iwa to make with the hurty, Segeer and Charkarr and so forth to support. Rushlight and I to hit the Reavers who have their backs to us but are close in on the rescuable party. It's going FINE despite the MINI THERMAL DETS when suddenly blaster fire comes down on us from above and to either sides! Bloodsmith Raiders! One of whom is a cyberfan of The Rhino! Segeer is not doing well at all in this fight. I think he is down. Iwa is not having the BEST time ever -- sounds like she let her temper loose pretty early in the dance -- and the Bloodsmith Raiders rightfully see Rushlight and Greelo as the high-threat targets, because several of them keep shooting at the lads. Not entirely unsuccessfully. Mar Jani got shot in the shoulder at the start, too, which is a real problem. And now some of the Bloodsmith Raiders have jetpacks, that's not fair! After we went to all that trouble to throw Reavers up to their balconies! Everyone gets pretty heftily injured except Carmen, Arrawtha, Greelo, and me. And I'm starting to run out of options here. Ohhhhhhhhh kay! Thanks to Greelo's smoke arrow thing, Iwa whittled down most of the remaining Reavers. And then thanks to lots of stun and the Hakuna Matata song, I managed to stun Iwa enough that Rushlight's tranquilizer dart can finally take her from Rage to Night-Night. Despite earlier claims to Mom that my first aid training is "stim packs on right thigh, also I know how to apply tourniquet", I do know how to do that. While Greelo and Rushlight yammer a LOT, about a bad pair of options for outside help, I quietly patch up Mom and then Rushlight. me: ... uhhhh ... I don't know how to First Aid on droids me: Carmen? me: You know First Aid, subcategory Tinny? Carmen: ... I can repair a starship engine. Almost the same thing? Arrawtha knows how to repair droids, as it runs in the family, so he gets to work on Chakarr while I start patching up Iwa.
Who invited them?

Iwa does not know if she can trust what Zyrtec has to say. So we're going to have the Aw'akeen lady Zadra check up on the communication logs from the transport ship, and once Rushlight is done with his next 4 surgeries, we're gonna give him some Red Bull and then have him voodoo Zyrtec. Meanwhile, Greelo is looking up the mentioned bounties (to see if they match the story) and getting the basic layout of this kind of mining station from the manufacturer and so forth. Good research for our upcoming work. Sooooooo here we are at the Loval.... A lot of the consoles have been taken apart already and rigged up to Aw'akeen tablets and stuff. We hear some activity up near the cockpit. There's a guy up here with a double frontal cowlick of fiery orange red hair. According to communications records, the Loval has been mostly ferrying supplies until fairly recently. Also there is something out there that is a "Dreadnought class" vehicle, which then heads in-system. The Quartermaster from the Bloodsmith Raiders is a Mirialan, muscular, has cybernetic enhancements, and is pressuring Zyrtec to get enhancements done. She mentions that he's doing a good job, she's put in a good word with "Bol Spar" who is considering letting him take the next load to "The Plex". There's also a recording getting a message from an unknown ship (us!) with a Wookiee warning him to get out, he's about to be attacked. So all in all, Zyrtec or Zantac or whatever-dude, he checks out in all the ways we can get corroboration. I wouldn't let him loose and give him a multitool, you know, but I think Iwa is doing the right thing in taking this guy's intel. We're going to take the Loval, Rushlight and I, and we're going to be slightly dumb salvagers (maybe pirates?) who have wound up with this ship that has a local destination in the system and NO HYPERDRIVE and whatever the contract was, it's obviously vacant now and we'd like to pick it up! This should lead to a lot of distraction and stalling while, aboard Vader, Greelo and Iwa and Chakarr and some of the Aw'akeen commandos sneak down onto the forest and into the air shafts for the mine tunnels. Rushlight is fabulous. And feeling very pretty in a minimalist tabard dress and perfect makeup and some of the shaman stuff as anklets. So we two girls land and are met by some Bloodsmith Raiders whom we promptly horrify with our answers to, basically, every question. And our answers are:Of course! It's what the Mistress would want for proper communication!
- That's classified.
- We prefer to be discreet.
- We want to be paid in jewels. Not credits, because people can look at our credits without our permission.
- And a hyperdrive. We need a hyperdrive. It's missing!
- We are looking for a contract that heads out of system.
Some time goes by and we are chilling in the Mining area. I can see the beskar aran safe waiting for the ship to be repaired and the deal to be sealed. Suddenly! The nine shafts downward all start to glow! Rushlight's fur starts to stand on end! The lights are flickering! I put on my helmet, grab Rushlight by her hand, and run to jump on top of the safe. Mandalorian iron will reject the energy. It will keep us from forming a grounding circuit. We have to stand back to back, elbows locked together, because there is not much room but we're going to be okay---

Keep on flying.
But before all that: We need to survive the flight back into Calais. The Gear Grinders have JET PACKS and also GAUSS GUNS and are here to try ot make us crash! I'mma turn on the Shields ((2d+1 Shields on the ambulance))
Carmen straight up lied to me, by the way, about how shields and weaponry work together. There's no hole.
That one Gear Grinder used a PHASER CANNON on us and now the ambulance has a moon roof. I think we're going to make him swallow it and then find out where he got it and get one for the Deez Nuts later! (Okay, actually we just kill him in the air. But notes for future inquiry!)
Pretty soon we got hit with an E-Web from the Magic Bus, the whole ambulance is shutting down dead in midair which is not good for our survivability rate. Patients onboard are the Countess (stunned) and five additional people, I think including the Cardinal who is in a healing coma or some Jedi thing.
What IDIOT brought an entire BANDOLIER of thermal dets?!? I dunno but I think it's just atomized all of them. And the Magic Bus.
We escape into the sewer system but we know the Lightning Guard will be after us very soon. When we get to Dr. Wontag's hospital, it's smoking and burnt and very quiet. About four hours ago, something amateur but with spooky knives breached the place and created a lot of destruction. And then left a Hunter-Seeker on auto-attack in case Noki, Monnk, and/or Dr. Wontag came out of the room where they barricaded themselves.
Mom sent me a message! She needs rescue from "this little man" which would be fake!Silar Mins!
Along with giving me my mom's message, bounty hunter Kol Peck gave us the Palace blueprints that the Cardinal wanted him to get to us.
We get Monnk into an atmospheric pressure cast system because we are not taking the entire bacta bed while we are on the run. And then we set out for a mothballed dungeon (allegedly!) under the Palace.
Cardinal du Pleiss knows how to get in! That's not creepy at all!
We go in through a secret entrance into a room that slowly lights itself up. They look like plasma torches. We're on a landing with some repulsor barges on an underground lake.
Greelo's barge: me, Red Sparrow, 1 patient, materials being transported
Iwa's barge: Noki, Monnk, 2 patients, Makena, and Inspector Grimes.
Rushlight's barge: Cardinal du Pleiss, Countess Beaufort, Dr. Wontag, 2 patients
We get safely to the "torture area" one floor up from the dungeon, and it is VERY CLEAN up here. AND THE WALL MOVED. And it indicated a path upward when I stated that I am here to ensure that Madame Terrek is well.
Up in the main floor of the Palace, we split the party when I get a message via obscure channels: "help me". That's coming from somewhere in the back half of the Palace. Meanwhile up here, Greelo has a track on a squib that might be fake!Silar Mins, and Rushlight senses Enzio and Alon Paul that evil vampire-wannabe guy from a month or two ago.
You can't FIND THEM and yet one of them is right there!!!
We've got fake!Emperor, fake!Silar who mentions that he's also doing work for Jack LeGrange, and Son_of_ Pascale Contee. We think they're torturing Zallara Terrek and possibly the mother of the Emperor.
Once we have heard enough, we Save My Mom by some excellent wide angle stun and also a kick in the fork of Gerard Contee (since he's blocking stunner fire with his Spooky Knife.
Text message conversation
2. Sith Lord Knife Guy Alon Paul has been in on an usurper thing.
3. Sith Lord Knife Guy plans on leaving scene of crime. And maybe not whacking our team.
4. Who is in charge of Mists now that Enzio is extremely dead? He was murdered by Sith Lord KNife Guy Alon Paul.
2: but Alon Paul Thoulieu? that's disturbing
Enzio is dead and Alon Paul left after snacking on Rushlight. Rushlight and Dr. Wontag and Mom need to cure the poison in the Empress Zallara so she can be disconnected from the vines of her handmaiden. And then we need to hurry off the planet, ideally with our prisoner fake!Silar Mins, so we can go to Chalcedon and rescue Iwa's grandson. And rescue Baby Sister Carmen.
Characters Interacted With:
- The "Butcher" of the Boucherie Gourmade de Louis, maybe named Louis? Anyway he was in the Gear Grinders Magic Bus.
- various Gear Grinders with jet packs!
- Alon Paul a.k.a. Evil Vampire-Wannabe Guy
- Gerard Contee son of the late Pascale Contee
- Enzio of The Mists
- Cardinal Armand du Pleiss
- Countess Louise de Beaufort more than halfway transformed into a panther monster person
- Lieutenant / Inspector Landis Grimes
- the Red Sparrow and his maybe-civilian friends
- Makena the hairstylist extraordinaire
- Dr. Wontag
- Noki Sunfell
- Dizzy
- Greelo
- Iwa and Chakarr her personal droid
- Monnk who is actually Eric Terrek the son of Zallara Terrek
- Rushlight
We aren't getting shot yet!
Telona 10th, 12731
Here we are at last at the construction site near where the unconscious Countess got shoved into an aircar by Enzio and his buddy the other kidnapper. It looks like part of what has been cordoned off is right next to The Gilded Rose restaurant.
So the question is: does Rushlight need a reservation?
Mordecai Heller wants Inspector Grimes gotten off his current case. Or else take some crates to a beach and walk away.
You know, I should send a quick message to Grimes about organized crime trying to get him taken off this case. I can do that at the same time I take a look in this roped off bit here.
SIGNAL LOST
tl dr version of notes for 2.08 chapter 7
Telona 10th, 12731
Gear Grinders is a gang; Garek Fallon is the pilot jerk who swiped Dizzy's DC-17; Church of the Force has a bounty posted on Garek and that bounty was signed/funded by Cardinal Armand du Pleiss
That Cardinal now wants Greelo to go after Faris Lem nicknamed "Hookshanks". For 60K in credits. He was a close associate of Pascal Conti who is now dead a la Rushlight. The Cardinal prefers "alive" but "life is unpredictable".
