Amaranth — Roleplayer Guild

Shai felt an overwhelming sense of calm wash over her and suddenly things felt as if they were going to be alright. She looked around the cargo bay with a bit of shine in her eyes from her newfound lack of worries. The Exile met the Captain's gaze, which told her subtly that maybe bringing the relic out was something best saved for a later, more private date and time. She stuffed the black object back into her pocket and stood up, stretching and suppressing a yawn. The Captain got everyone's attention and obviously interrupted a semi-heated discussion about some frakking device or another between Woo'rah and the Dug. Shai didn't much care for fancy devices personally. They had their uses, she allowed that much, but relying on them too much would make one weak without them (and there were numerous ways of stripping gadgets of their usefulness in the galaxy.)  

The Captain explained the details of the living arrangements and the technical specifications of the cargo hold itself. Most of it was fairly logical and made no difference to Shai. She did, however, note with a somewhat raised eyebrow that the co-pilot was a droid. Not a totally unheard of arrangement but still, it was unique enough that it warranted some small reaction. The pilot himself was the trandoshan she had noticed earlier, apparently named Baarsuth. Being piloted by a Trando and a Droid. Not a situation Shai could have placed herself in a year prior, but a lot has changed lately. It was a period of change for the galaxy at large it seemed and no one could avoid it. 

At the very least it was nice knowing that someone would always be in the cockpit. At one point she had commanded a ship but she hadn't the faintest clue on how to fly one. Now that she thought about it commanding one probably was out of her abil- Shai shook the self-doubt away. No use dwelling on the past now, the present was all that mattered at this point in her life. Shai focused on happier thoughts as she tuned out the technical details of the living arrangements. It seemed like she was going to be sharing a cabin with the wookiee, Liak'ykam. Well she definitely could have ended up with someone worse. Like the Dug. Or the other Twi'lek. She laughed internally at the thought of sharing a cabin with a Dug; one of them would probably end up strangled by the end of the first cycle and dark side users were known to be fond of choking people. 

Finally the Captain finished his briefing on the hold and asked for questions before they headed upstairs. Shai kept her course of staying silent and shook her head. Not much to get about a cargo hold.
