"Huh, and I'm told that I stick out like a broken thumb. That's the human idiom, right? And, I mean I do, but..." Sol shrugs, his armor creaking as he eyes the...he thinks it's a Pantoran.

"But yes, I am also here to make the Empire have a bad time. Less with the shooting and more with "swish swish"" Solo motions to the sword on his back "But I'm also a decent hand at a hydrospanner as well. I was referenced to your organization by Julo, who I know through a mutual acquaintance. Please feel free to check my credentials with him."

Nara turns, her red eyes running up and down the Gank
"You're probably too tall to be a thumb but maybe like...an index finger that's been broken a few times and got really big afterwards? A swole index finger, apparently also with a sword."

"I am told I am a "middle finger" but otherwise, I believe the comparison is apt." Sol cocks his head to the side. "Is my Basic poor, is the word "swole" or "swolen"? I thought it was the latter"

"Preeetty sure it's 'swole'. When you go to the gym you're trying to get swole. If you're getting swollen you should seek medical attention. I got swollen once and it turned out to just be an allergic reaction to Ganaxian krill. Would not recommend."

" Ahh, a new word." This "swole" was apparently a piece of slang referring to his muscle mass. "My confusion lay in the broken finger comment that prefaced it. People's fingers tend to swell quite a bit when you break them. I should know from personal experience" He holds up his left hand, the limb entirely metal. "Well, some of them"

It seemed neither of them gave much mind to having this conversation in front of the Resistance members who were supposed to be screening them

"Nice. Cybernetic arms are very cool."
Nara holds up her left hand and thumbs up
"You can fit a lot of weaponry in them, they can give you supersentient strength or agility and...they come in some great colour schemes."

"Thank you, everyone, for coming to help the people of Bellionas. While I still don't fully know what all of your skills are, or what we will need to ask of you all by the time we're done, I am glad that you have all arrived and offered your time and help for the people of Bellionas. What we aim to do here is to give the people of our planet hope again. It won't be easy.. but I believe the first step in this is to get people talking again, make sure the people are aware of whats going on."

"Which is why I have asked you all here. Our first goal is to set up an old printing press nearby that has the generators and connections available for us to set up a radio. Something that will allow us to communicate with the people of Bellionas without the interference of the Empire. With the help of Mylar," she gives a look toward him, who is currently sitting at a small terminal, "we have gathered the components we'll need but there's still a lot of work to be done in setting up for this endeavor. Rubble needs to be removed, machines need to be fixed and put together, and connections need to be made. We also will need to ask for the aid of many of you who might know some tricks in keeping a careful watch and making sure the Empire doesn't catch on too early."

"Once we've set up, gotten people listening.. then we can start opening up peoples eyes to the truth of what conditions are like for everyone here on Bellionas."

"Oh by the stars this is soooooo lame."
Nara grumped from up the pack, with a bright-red eyeroll
"I thought you guys were freedom fighters, not freedom freethinkers. What next, a non-violent protest where we seek to win hearts and minds?"

"Can't fight an Empire, or a Republic, if you don't have enough resources." Jaxom said. "We've learned that first hand. But, I'm pretty sure we'll get the fight your looking for."

The young Pantoran who wandered in next, clearly a little anxious and guarded, looked rather unimpressive compared to the armored people. There was a little more bulk inside his jacket than his lean frame would explain, but the slightly plate shaped nature of the bulk suggested he'd come as armored as he could.

Korvin tried not to look too out of place, though he was clearly a little awestruck at the Hideout. And he seemed especially out of place when he saw Petra on the couch, walking to a respectable distance but blurting out, "Hey, it's you! From Drezzie's." He was smiling like a 17-year-old who has no idea how uncool he seems in that moment.

"Oh, hey, it's you, from Drezzie's," she repeated with far less amusement than when Korvin had said the words. Still upside down on the couch she groaned a little as she slipped onto her side and shifted into a sit. Watching him a moment before she gave a nod toward the couch on her right, "So.. you're gonna come lend a hand? Kinda took you for just some rich kid playing around with his dads money but this is cool," she glances around, "I guess."
