"Master Silvarti, when you've finished your tasks with the thranta, I'd appreciate a chance to talk. My name is Thollus Rhan." Thollus says with a small bow as the Jedi climbs the exit ramp.

Dodging the crew and stevadore droids carrying the thranta cargo out of the ship, Thollus arrives at the gangplank beside Iona "Quite the welcoming party."
Having fetched his pack from his room, and with a quick scan to make sure nothing was left behind, walks out into the corridor towards the exit ramp.
With a smile for Iona and a wink for Kaath , Thollus says "I thought they'd see it our way. I'll see that my gear is stowed and ready for our arrival."
"Hmm, perhaps Captain, if I'm not to presumptuous, you should remind them about our cargo. They may not appreciate having a cargo of smelly irritable Thrantas flying about their space station." he says with a smile.
K. I'm back :)
Will be in Mexico for the next week, so posting may be a bit sporadic, assuming the resort I'm going to has internet. Elton feel free to post on my behalf if needed.
Watching as the green planet fills the viewport, Thollus' thoughts turn to the possibilities posed by this planet of Jedi's Is it here that my destiny will be fulfilled, answers to my many questions , or perhaps more puzzles will be unveiled....
"Excellent, I'll let my friend know and she'll make the necessary arrangements!" Thollus said smiling, sharing Iona's amusement, looking to Chal "My apologies, but commerce must prevail!" Chuckling at Chal's obvious discomfiture, Thollus lifts his datapad and signals to Adjua Message to Aduja: My dear Aduja, Captain Iona has accepted the fleets' shipment of Thrantas. If you would, have your quartermaster complete arrangements with the good captain's crew. Hopefully, your duties would allow you the time to visit our dock, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to say goodbye to you in person.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thranta fun! fun! :)
After a beep from his datapad, Thollus reads a message from his friend Valjor. Reading the message, he calls out to Iona "Captain, is your ship able to transport Thrantas? The fleet has a shipment ready to go."
Typing into his datapad as he walks with Iona, Thollus replies "Lately from Nar Shaddaa, but before that I'll be honest, I don't know. I'm travelling to Tython to hopefully find out more about myself.. a sort of pilgrim." smiling at Kaath "Thank you, your assistance is greatly appreciated" Turning to Iona "I've sent a message to my friend, I will let you know if anything comes of it." Message to Adjua Valjor : "My dear Adjua, you no doubt know about the trouble the Thull brigands have been causing at the starport. I successfully made my way through the chaos and found my transport, in dock 7B. I would love to see you again before I leave for Tython. The captain has told me that she has extra cargo space, if you know of any fleet cargo that needs to be transported to Tython, contact captain Iona Liaan of the Lady Felicity. Thollus." Persuation
"A pleasure Iona. I'm glad no damage was done. Could you check with your crew whether my belongings have been transferred on to your vessel? I would also appreciate if someone would show me to my berth?" Thollus pauses for a moment, gazing curiously after the Neimoidian stomping up the gangplank. Turning back to Iona, he says "I may be able to help with your cargo needs, I recently made a friend in the Alderran fleet. I can inquire if they have any shipping needs in the direction of Tython. With your permission of course" Smiling, he pulls out his datapad.
"Zarn, Tollen. Thollus mutters as he type into his datapad. Glancing up in annoyance, seing that the youth as still there, "Dismissed, ZArn. " Watching until the youth leaves the dock, Thollus turns to Iona when she speaks to him. "No Thul am I. " he says with a wide smile, his arms open at his side "Merely a man trying to ensure thst his transport to Tython wasn't dismantled by malcontents. I guess my little ruse fooled them. Lucky that....Thollus Rhan " he says extenfing his hand in greeting, "I presume your the Captain of this fine vessel....how does she fare?"
A frown furrows Thollus' brow, his face becoming mottled with rage "This is dock 7B, the smugglers moved last night to dock 2A. Another team is dealing with the them, you are needed at the east gate. " Thollus hisses, striding up to stand in front of the Thul who spoke Deception "Your name slug, his lord Thul will be interested in those who question orders " Persuade (Intimidate)
Dismissing the Thuls with a wave of the hand, Thollus proceeds to the space dock containing the Lady Liberty. Arriving at the entrance, he see the situation quickly getting out of hand, without a moments hesitation he strides into the dock with the assurance of someone who knows exactly what should and should not be going on .
Deception
Hearing the explosion from the dock which was holding his tranport, Thollus muttered to himself "This will not do!". Vaulting the bench, he takes off at a run towards the Lady Felicity and her crew, drawing his blaster pistol. He is prepared to Intimidate any Thugs that come near him
or If confronted directly, he will assume an air of command and superiority and order the Thul youths to the opposite side of the starport
Blast that ship? How inconvenient!" Thollus mutters to himself, jumping behind the cover of the bench he had been sitting on. "Hmm, looks like Thul irregulars..." Thollus tries to estimate how many of the attacker there may be.
Perception Check to see If Thollus hears the commotion
Enjoying watching the people pass by in front of him, Thollus checks his datapad's chronometer to see how much longer he can anticipate waiting for Adjua to return. Idly examining a passing diplomat, noting instinctively the man's gait, how he holds himself, the air of authority, the arrogance in his face, Thollus enters another series of queries to the holonet: Gather Information Information on House Thul
Sitting in the sun, Thollus drew out his datapad and began entering some queries to the holonet: Gather Information Jedi influence/presence on Alderaan
Walking about the plaza outside the spaceport, Thollus was amazed that he knew exactly how clean the air was, down to the last molecule of dust! How can I know this? Normal people don't have these abilities. he thought sitting on a bench beside some brightly colored flowers.
Sighing quietly at his curiosity having been frustrated, Thollus meanders through the crowd toward the spaceport entrance, sunlight streaming in from the outdoors. Hmmm, some fresh air to clear the head, I think.
Having his earlier observations confirmed, Thollus turned about and attempted to pick the dark boy/ man out of the crowd of travellers. Perception
Brat! Thollus says as he turns away and closes his eyes, attempting to verify in truth that he cannot "sense" the boy.
Perusing his search results, Thollus notices out of the corner of his eye a boy in black standing next him. Curious, I usually know when someone is near-by....How do I know when others are nearby?...If I can't see them or hear them?...and how is this so different from the others that he could come upon me unawares? Shaking his head in bafflement, Thollus lowers his datapad and turns to the boy "Well, aren't you remarkably different?" he says to the boy, dressed in all black, pale face made paler still by the black lip and eye paint.
Elton: Do you mean that I don't notice him at all or that I only just now noticed him?
"Adjua....Adjua" Thollus murmurs to himself as the woman disappears into the crowd. Turning to find a place to sit before the main viewing port, he notices a couple Republic soldiers sitting nearby who had obviously been watching. Giving them a sheepish grin as they nodded and grinned at him for his success with the pretty naval aide. Walking away from the soldiers , Thollus' face resume its normal passive look, his fingers entering queries to the Holonet. "I find my self "attracted" to Adjua. But not in the way I would expect. I seek to know her for the potential knowledge and influence not for any "Romantic" notions. Is this the kind of man I am?" Gather Information (Valjor family name)
"My dear!" Thollus calls after his new friend's shashay-ing body "Your name ?"
Ah, was I in the way? My apologies." Thollus says stepping off to the side towards the seats. Glancing down to the royal crest on her uniform, "Your duties , do they take you towards Organa Castle? I would very much like to see it and would walk with you, if you would permit it?" he says with a smile. Persuasion
"Lost? Oh no, not at all! I was merely watching the ships come and go... quite hypnotic! And then you come walking by! Simply striking in that wonderful uniform and interrupt my reverie, beautiful...beautiful !" Thollus says rising from his seat and offering his hand in greeting "Thollus Rhan at your service!", a welcoming grin spreading across his face. How the lie slips so easily past my lips... Where does it come from? Is this what I am? Deception Check
Awaiting news that his transport was ready for departure , Thollus sits quietly in the main viewing area watching vessels arrive and depart. Occasionally, with out even realizing what he's doing, Thollus will observe some person rushing by and idly determine the best way to impersonate/trick/ or otherwise influece them based on their appearance and mannerisms. Catching himself doing so as a Alderann naval officer strode by Action one: obtain uniform, Action two: fabricate identification , Action three: adopt Alderaan accent, Action four... Suddenly sitting upright, he thought "Why do I know how to do this?" shaking his head "These strangers are less mysterious to me than I am to myself"
I think there may be a bit of separation in the leadership roles, with Iona taking care of ship-board dealings and Thollus taking on that which occurs outside. Perhaps, we'll have to see how thing shake out :) Thollus has the capability and confidence to lead, but his uncertainty of where he sits in the world may hamper him at first.
Cool concept Elton.
I was going to make the same suggestion.
Awesome!!
Here you go Elton.
