Lakoon'ta nods at Garland "I'm seen when I want to be. maybe those of us with some more grey backgrounds should take a walk in some less pretty areas of the station? Make some contacts, see what palms we can grease."

"fine, let's do this. Seems like the money is good anyways."
Lakoon'ta most definitely gives a slight glare at Zetara, but waits until Chiskisk is looking elsewhere.
"Let's be blunt we all have some things we want to look into as well, so I think a quid pro quo would work nicely here. We help you investigate Duravor's death, you make those of us that wish Starfinders, and help us look into something strange that happened to us."
"OOooor we could sell it to the highest bidder, and get the hell out of here." Looking around she probably sees general disagreement "I'm kidding of course. Let's get on our way."
"Im sure this place operates mich like modern post Drift Akiton, there is always a way to earn some credits. it's just a matter of what you are willing to do to get them. I'm not sure the Starfinders will help us until their friend wakes. But a refugee center sounds better than many places I've slept. Lead the way Kov'i. At somepoint you'll have to explain that surname." In response to Scera Lakoon'ta replies "Buck up girl that means there is something left. there are plenty of dead colonies and settlements with nothing to tell their story left. Your continued survival is Haven Colony's as well."
Lakoon'ta continues her act and moves to the officer talking to Zetara she berates him "My dear boy, these people are heroes and you DARE ask them for papers. Why, they saved your dwarf friend over there. Is that not enough? Used to be in my day you gave shelter and a feast to heroes, not treated them as criminal scum, interrogating them, inspecting their ship, the audacity. Which, by the way the people who should be interrogated are the 2 gangs that shot this place up, who you don't seem to be pursuing. What has the system come to!"
Hiding her weapons Lakoon'ta emerges from her position. she plays up her feebelness by leaning on cargo for support as she exclaims "Oh! Thank the Grandmother Rat these brave people showed up. I heard the dwarf call for help as I hid, I'm old, but not quite ready to die yet. but I'm sure I would have been killed by those gangs of they hadn't shown up and stalled them until you brave security officers showed up. I assure you these people were only here to help."
Lakoon'ta remains where she is and readies an action: Fire at the next gang member to fire at the area she heard Garland shouting from.
once there she waits for a clear shot on any member of the unidentified gang. as cover fire for Kovi and Scera
"Let's minimize damage, we have enough enemies, mysterious ones, the gangs could be useful resources later, they tend to know more than the optimistic groups like the Starfinders." She draws her pistol in one hand and one of her knives in the other.
@Ehron Right so 8 + the 2 free, +2 from int = 12. So i think im good, just looks weird on my interactive google doc. @duanimon You are right, my google doc added in my +2 race bonus twice, and by that I mean I didn't realize it was adding it in so I did as well -_-'. should only be a +9 engineering(literally operatives edge giving me an edge), just checked all my skills i put ranks into to be sure nothing else funky was happening.
"Sound like we are saving the day. Making friends and probably some enemies within 30 seconds of arriving. Anyone ever been here? What should we expect?"
Should be all set. Just listed my most important skills. I think i did them right. I wasn't sure if operative's specialization gave a true ranks in the associated skills or not(i.e grants you the +3 from class skill). If not ill need to remove 2 ranks.
I'm like 70% done with Lakoon'ta. Need to do gear and pick a feat mostly.
Greetings all, this book is amazing.
I haven't had a peak at the final product that it seems some of you guys have had. I pretty much plan on keeping Lakoon'ta as an operative, with emphasis on stealth, hopefully. We will see what happens when I have the book or pdf in front of me.
"Such a young gracious man," Lakoon'ta will accept the aid down offered by Ehron. Even with his aid, though it might be a rough landing.
Getting up and brushing her self off, "So we have some people who know how to make that thing fly, what about getting it started? I barely ever left Akiton in my life."
Lakoon'ta slows as the group approaches the grate she looks behind them to see if there are any robotic pursuers, or at least thats how she tries to play, really with the adrenaline of the past few minutes fading her age begins to catch up to her.
After catching her breath and noticing the stall in movement. She worms her way to the front. "Ah, a locked gate. Move aside let an old woman take a look. " She fiddles with the control panel and tries to use the wires behind the panel to trick the door into opening.
If failed.
Lakoon'ta continues protecting Garland. Lashing out at any attackers
"Now is the time!" Lakoon'ta will wait and move with Garland and defend him, she stops to attack any robot they pass
Under her breath, "Well now we have weapons." She motions her head to the scrap heap that was the robots She will sneak over to one of the robots and try to find something to use as a weapon.
"They have shown they are willing to kill." "They are also experimenting on us. I know it. I awoke while they were doing something to me, they seem to be skimping on the drugs. And this morning I found a patch of skin missing. We need to get out of here before we aren't who we were when we came in. "
Lakoon'ta wakes with a jolt and immediately begins to feel around her entire body looking for scars, potential modifications, or implants.
She mumbles to herself "Grandmother Rat where is this place. Experimenting on an old woman, so much for respecting you elders. Though I guess robots wouldn't understand that. Still flesh and blood must run this place at some higher level. Fine if that's the way they are going to play, Granny Lakoon'ta will be happy to play." a smile creeps along her face as she begins feel along the walls, cot, door and floor for anything that she might be able to break loose and use as a tool or weapon.
As the guards escort her away Lakoon'ta laments "AH, my escorts seem to be signaling that my chariot awaits. Oh my two escorts just for little old me, well we have such a good host. Goodbye for now, see you all at the next gala." She deliberately plays up her age and takes as long as the guards will afford her to walk inside.
Lakoon'ta shakes her head as Kov'i Lesk moves to touch the crystal, she fully expects the result to be the same, if not worse on the simpler Kov'i, as when Zetara touched it."I was about to ask if we had some muscle. Because let's face it, 2 brains, a smuggler, a clearly harmless granny, and the only other intelligent person I've seen" she motions to Zetara and Duanimon, Garland, herself, and then at Ehron " aren't going to make it very far, without someone to do some heavy-lifting. But I think our man just stumbled over to the magic knockout machine."
"I-i-i-m not going near that thing." "As the man said that is a smart move. You may survive here yet. Since there seems to be a sharing mood around here, you may call me L or Granny take your pick." "Looks like they might be planning something," he says in a low voice. "They might know a way to get out of here." "They certainly are talking a lot. I'll come, but know this I only believe people based on actions, not words." She'll follow Garland over to Zetara and Duanimon observe the conversation, she uses the taller human to block sight lines, but remains listening. "So a breakout. Not my usual style, I'm usually breaking in, but it is what the times require. You all seem to forgot one thing. Weapons and equipment are useful, but it won't get us very far once we are outside. For that we need information, my usual specialty, but with all the guards being robots I'm not sure how much I can pick up. We at least need to know what planet we are on, if we are on one at all."
From below her Scera hears a grandmotherly female voice chime in. An all white furred, with wrinkles beginning to form around her eyes ysoki tells her."No really deary shut up. The rest of you too, Grandmother Rat be damned, I would have made a fortune off of all you blathermouths." Glancing down the line at Ehron and giving a nod of respect
