Shaya nodded subtly and walked out of the inn, through Ahto city's gates, and headed north from there.
After about five minutes of walking, Shaya stepped inside a small shop and walked up to the counter. Talking with the Selkath for a moment or two, Shaya turned to Alex and said,"He says the mechanic is busy at the moment, but he'll be available tomorrow." She sighed after she said that and felt herself beginning to let her guard down a little.

"Thank you for your assistance." he said smiling warmly. "And now, If you'd like I'll leave you be." Alex walked back to the hotel and found his nose in a brochure that was trasnlated in to basic.

Shaya stood there for a moment or two after the Jedi left, pondering what she was going to do.
Might as well go back to the inn, She thought, I need to catch up on some lost sleep.
She yawned and headed back to the inn.

The day passed slowly for Alex as fe tried to reread all the brochures in the lobby. He rented a room and woke up refreshed the next morning. He went down stairs and waited for the woman that had helped him yesterday. If he needs ship repairs he'll need a translator.

Shaya also awoke the next morning and walked into the lobby, giving the manager her key once again.
She saw the Jedi by the door, and knew she wasn't going to be able to pass him without saying anything, so she walked up to him and said,"Let me guess: you want my translating help again." She couldn't help but smile underneath her dark hood, still satisfied that he had not yet seen her face.

"Yes I would like you to translate for me unless you want to spend a long time to teach me the language." Alex smiled hoping that she knew it was a joke. "What's your name anyway?"

"Shaya Starr." Shaya muttered from under the hood. "And yours?"

"ALexander, miss Starr," he said hesitaintly. His growing up in the temple the other hopefuls thought his name was something to make fun of. "Shalll we continue to the Dock?"

"Sure," Shaya said, thinking deeply.
She walked towards to door and said,"Follow me."

Walking out of the door, Shaya found herself in the middle of a large courtyard with a ceramic fountain spouting water. She walked past it, heading north, and after about ten minutes they reached the shop where Shaya had asked for the mechanic the day before.
Once again, Shaya walked up to the counter and asked the Selkath about the mechanic. After talking to him for a moment or two, Shaya turned to Alex and said,"He says the mechanic will be back in an hour." She sighed impatiently and threw herself into a silvery chair that sat by the desk.

"Thank you. I sense that you are not one to want to deal with Jedi so if you want you can leave any time you want."

"But..." She began, finding herself once again letting down her guard a little. "But won't you need me--I mean, a translator to help you understand the mechanic?" She questioned, not quite sure why she was protesting.

"Ok," Shaya said, now standing up out of her chair. She walked to the door and stopped, muttering,"Then goodbye."
Walking out of the mechanic's office, Shaya walked into the courtyard again and walked to the edge and lifted her hands to the sides of her hood, and pulling it off her head. She took her hair band out, spilling her honey blonde hair over her shrouded shoulders. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, remembering her father once again.

Alex waited for the mechanic and when a Selkath walked in he talked in sign language to him. "Are you the mechanic?" It signed back: "Yes What can I do for you?" Alex smiled knowing that he had finnaly established a way of communication. "My ship crashed a mile away from here. Can you help me?" It smiled back and talked in selkath to the other one at ther counter. "Let's go to my speeder." Thank you."

Shaya saw Alex leave with the Selkath mechanic and thought, Finally, he's doing something on his own...no more of this Jedi business for me. She smiled and left the edge of the water, walking northwest towards a small shop where you could purchase ships and speeders. Shaya wasted no time walking into the small shop.
"Hello, Kasij." Shaya smiled at the clerk. This time the smile was not fake.
"Ah, Shaya Starr. Good to see you again so soon." The man replied. Kasij Wassige had been Shaya's closest friend on Manaan since she was a child.
Shaya smiled again, saying,"I think I'm ready to buy that ship I've been looking at."
Kasij looked surprised. "Really? So soon?"
Shaya nodded.
"Good, good. Let's go look at it. Follow me." Kasij led the way out of the shop, walking eastward towards a small hangar in the outskirts of Ahto City. Shaya followed silently, but her mind was not silent. She didn't know why that Jedi kept coming to her thoughts. She shrugged it off.
After all, She reasoned with herself as Kasij led the way to the hangar,that was the first Jedi I've seen in ten years...I must've just been shocked to see one after all this time...

Whent they reached the ship Alex jumped off the speeder and strode to his ship. He searched the cockpit to make sure everything was there, but the computer was on. Strange. The power went out in the crash. Why is it on? The jedi walked out of his ship and saw a portable battery outside that was hooked to a terinal on the side of his ship. Al walked up to the panel and pressed a few keys. They pulled up files on the temple schematics; underground entrances, secret compartments, any thing you need to break in to the temple, but this was the information he was bring back to the temple. Someone's hacking into my ship! Alex turnde to see where the selkath was, and e jumped out of the ship and pointed a gun at him. "Step away from the termanil, or i'll shoot Jedi!" Alex almost laughed. "Why do you think that blaster will stoop me?" The selkath screamed, "This is a tranquilizer!" The selkath fired at Alex but by the time he reached his lightsabre he was hit and everything was going black.

Shaya soon bought the small, one-seater fighter ship and thanksed Kasij for his help.
"So, where's your first visit gonna be?" Kasij asked, gazing at the brand-new wing of the fighter.
Shaya half shrugged. "I dunno, probably Kashyyyk." She said, wrapping her hands around the steering stick.
"I didn't know you knew how to fly." Kasij said with a little tone of worry in his voice.
"I know enough." Shaya said, running her index finger over all the little buttons and controls in the cockpit.
"Oh," Kasij started again,"there's one hidden feature I forgot to show you."
"Oh?" Shaya questioned.
"Yes," Kasij said,"step out a minute and I'll show you."
Shaya nodded and hopped out, watching Kasij grab a small lever on the bottom right corner of the side of the pilot's seat. He pulled the lever hard, and the seat flipped forward, showing a hidden seat in the back.
"Wow," Was all Shaya could say.
"Yes," Kasij said, bearing a proud smile on his tanned face,"perfect for hiding passengers who do not wish to be seen."
Shaya nodded and thanked Kasij for showing her.
"Well, I should get going back to the shop." Kasij said, seeing the sun starting to dip down below the horizon.
"Ok. I'll be seeing you then, Kasij." Shaya smiled and waved as Kasij walked back into Ahto City.
Shaya put the pilot seat back down and sat in the fighter once again. "What shall I name you?" She asked aloud, running her finger alongside the side of the viewport.
Then a thought came to mind.
"Renegade." She smiled at the name.

Alex stirred awake and stood up drowsly. He looked around to see he was still where he was but his ship was gone. Al decided to find Miss Starr and see if she can help him. He reached out to the force and found her signitaure at a shop.he found her in a ship and started to tell her about the selkath that stole his ship and he needed help getting it back. "I have a tracer on my ship that will help me find it, and I have speacil information on that ship that must not find its way into wrong hands. All I need is a lift. Can you help me?"
