Thanks for running.

Nevasi is still reeling from her injuries and performs poorly on the obstacle course.
"Finish him!" Navasi fires then takes cover behind the stairs.
"Finish off that blue one! Navasi fires and ducks behind the stairs once again.
Navasi fires then moves to some nearby stairs and takes cover.
"Hey don't just stand there. Help out. This is for charity after all!"
"Great! Now finish off that blue one!"
Navasi frowns. "Well I'm pretty sure that's against the rules." She draws her pistol then turns to her team and issues a command. "Okay team. We need to blast those things before anyone gets hurt. Get that one with the blue carapace."
Nevasi may not be the best dancer but she quickly recruits several members of the street dance crew to walk her through the motions.
"I dunno. Maybe Gabitha is hungry. She didn't get any takeout back at the restaurant."
"Okay maybe sports memorabilia aren't really my thing. Fashion though..." Navasi proceeds to push comm charms and matching sun shades to unsuspecting patrons.
Thinking Klicknop is talking to her Navasi replies, "Yup totally retro. You're pulling that look off like no other. That'll be two, no wait, four credits please. You can pay Dot over there." She immediately turns away to talk to a pair of skittermanders eyeing some sports tee shirts for the local zero-gee football team, the Absalom Ankhegs.
It looks like she has a sale but her knowledge of the Ankhegs doesn't measure up to her knowledge of professional wresting and she loses the sale when she tries to convince them that star player Nagdashar 'Dash' Riprock plays third base.
"What there to know? We're selling stuff. People want stuff. We just need to convince them to buy our stuff. Easy peasy." Navasi looks over the items for sale. "Take these items for example. These hats aren't out of fashion. They're retro. The sunshades aren't cheap. They're inexpensive, a canny buy for the frugal shopper. Come on Dae. Let's get to work."
Navasi examines the figurine.
"Aha! This is the statue of Abadar at the entrance to the Freemarkets. I bet that 423 means stall 423. I think that's Second Time Around. It's a cool thrift store."
Nevasi rolls her eyes at Klicknop. "This is how you do it."
Navasi leans in to Klicknop and whispers. "Okay Klic. It's showtime. Follow my lead." Navasi once again plays the heel for the cameras. She strides over to the child and holds out her hand but pulls it back when he attempts to shake. "Ha! Too slow, kid. You're gonna hafta do better than that if you're gonna beat me. Even lame-o nerd Klic here is gonna leave you in the dust. You're going doooooowwwwwn!" She turns and strides confidently to her starting position.
For the record I don't think we can intervene from down below in time to help. I just feel that Navasi would make the effort. Plus I like the idea of her hotwiring a transport to do it.
"Klick, Gabby. Luna says that someone is in trouble up there. Help me find a flying car or something. Maybe we can hijack it and get up there to help." Navasi looks around for some sort of flying transport that she can commandeer or even hotwire.
"Uh oh." Navasi texts back. What do you mean tangled up? Is she in danger? You can't stand by and let someone be injured or worse when you can make a difference. We're Starfinders, remember. Besides, we don't want to look like those a-holes the Zo! Media Superstars.
Navasi pulls out a take-out bag from Perfexion and noshes on some dumplings. She offers some to Gabitha and Klicknop. She takes out her comm and texts Luna. How's it going up there?
"Waitaminute...I know this place. It's..."
Navasi looks around at the remaining Starfinders. "Well we might as well go inside and grab a quick bite. Who knows how long this will take them." She turns to head inside and peruse the menu. "We should probably order 'to go' Just in case. I hope they have spicy noodles."
Navasi spends some time working the crowd.
Once out of sight of the camera Navasi pulls Klicknop aside and whispers. "Sorry about that nerd thing but you were dying up there. I was just trying to salvage something. We needed to get some pizzazz onscreen. It's too bad you complained telepathically instead of out loud. The probably would have played nicely for the camera. Remember that for next time. We'll probably get more views if we can generate some drama."
Navasi takes inspiration from her favorite professional wrestling stars and taunts the opposition in an exaggerated and over the top fashion as she shoves Klicknop off camera. "Ha! Don't listen to that nerd! We only keep him around to show how awesome the rest of us are. Yeah, The Starfinder Society is here to get large and take charge. There's only one team worth watching and one team worth winning and aaaaallll the rest will just be sittin' and spinnin'. Yeah, baby, aaallll the other teams will choke on our exhaust as we go past that finish line. Heh, I almost feel sorry for 'em...
A green-haired human woman in light armor jogs up and begins to warm up by performing some light stretching exercises. "Pleasta meetcha Klic! I'm Navasi. You should do a bit of stretching before the race begins. You don't want to get a cramp."
Envoy seems pretty fun so far. Maybe even a tiny bit overpowered Thanks for the game everyone.
"Just one left. Get 'em!"
"Not that one Luna! Get the one to the south." Navasi takes her own advice and fires at the drone to the south.
Navasi draws her pistol. "That one! To the east! Get 'em!"
Despite getting a solid blow to the head from flying debris Navasi manages to dodge the collapsing shield.
Navasi tries to dodge but trips over some rubble.
Navasi scoffs. "Is there really any question. Let's get to the tower as quickly as possible and get to work."
"I think I'm getting the hang of this. "
" Or maybe not.
"Hmm...I wonder..."
"If they're so docile why did they attack us? I don't see any nests around here."
Navasi targets the second creature once again. "Get that one. He can't stand for much more."
She then moves behind a pillar and hunkers down.
Navasi is not scared with the shell display.
"Keep up the pressure on that one." Navisi points to the creature atop the stairs.
Navasi draws her pistol and shouts a command. "Focus on the lead creature. She follows her own advice and fires.
"Interesting..." Navasi carefully examines the purple boulders.
"I don't think these plants are that angry after all."
Navasi head over to the odd plants. "They do look rather upset. Let's see if we can figure out what not to do." She approaches carefully, ready to leap away if necessary.
