Scorekeeper

[Causstik Rahn]

Causstik Rahn stood aboard clan Merans massive orbital station. He was staring outside a massive view port into the expanse of the void beyond. Outside a thousand Trandoshan's and Mandalorians worked on building The Scorekeeper to Kami's exact specifications. When the ship would be complete was anyone's guess, but when she was she would be a beauty to behold. Over a hundred massive guns were set to adorn both of her flanks. A port was to allow ships to dock with her, and while she wasn't the curviest of ships; She was still enough to make a woman jealous.

"Im Jealous Causstik. just a few month's ago you were a Beginner Mando.. now... " she tried to think of the right words.
"Anyway it's Firepower or Hanger space you want fighters or Firepower?" She asked joining Caustic at the window.
"Thanks for thinking of us by the way. you need a base of opperation? i have a wee mining asteroid no one uses."

The Trandoshan studied the human before him with a hand under chin. It was true. He and his band of Trandoshans had ascended through the ranks rather quickly. So much so that even the Alor's recognized him as a warlord now, but he could not claim all of the glory. It was only because of people like [member="Kami Meran"] that he was able to do so. He would never voice it aloud though.

"No, my people are currently building their own base on the world Mugg Fallow. I'd like fire power," He stared out at his ship quizzically once more.

"Hmmmm, yes firepower is what I need,"

The Arkanian Mandalorian removed her helmet.
"I'll keep the hanger small then sat at least 6 fighters? " she tapped her bright white chin.
they were going for a 1700 meter ship that would mean a few restrictions.
"Lyth us fitting a Nural net that would make it respond a lot faster."

 

[Causstik Rahn]

Causstik thought this over and did the math in his head. 6 ships wasn't alot. They could carry two companies too the planet below along with the artillery, but their would be no one to truly guard the vessels when they entered atmosphere. Causstik supposed the Corvettes could handle that though.

"Verry well. Kami I had an idea for gattling lasers on the ship. How much longer would this take?" He asked envisioning a hundred gattling lazers tearing enemy fighters apart as they atempted to get past the Scorekeeper and strike at the troop carriers below.

"I also had an idea... A mass accelerated drive. Shields are good against lazer fire, but solid objects. Not so much, so what if we mounted a giant cannon that essentially fired giant cannon balls!"

"What if i fitted a huge sling shot to fire Exogorth's?" Kami joked.punching the huge Reptilian's arm playfully.
" Ship this size its standard shielding you are looking for. you need armor-plaiting to take impacts. "
She stoped. yhinking about the weapons. " if you have those weapons then that's Lubed, show me them. i'll try and fit them."
then she looked to Causstik " look this'll take a few days. it's a big ship [member="Causstik Rahn"] not a Fighter. we are looking at balance you can go all gun. but you need a hanger its a system of checks and balances here. you can only get 100% that'd be say 50% guns 50% shields not 100% both. "

 

[Causstik Rahn]

Causstik pondered what the Arkanian said and decided she was probably right. The mass accelerated cannon was a good idea though and Causstik vowed to put it to good use, but unfortunately the ship was too small for such a weapon. Or was?

"I always preferred blood for lube," Causstik joked. He would make it work. "How long do these things usually take? Their are thousands of people out their working on that thing,"

[Kami Meran]

ok maybe generational slang wasn't the way to go. Kami almost forgot her age due to being around older people so much. (Lubed is the SW form of Cool or Smooth. " Dude you look Lubed.")
"look [member="Causstik Rahn"] you want this done right or done rushed. because my people are good. very good. we don't do rushed jobs. we are talking a single loos bolt that can depressurize a cabin. im not keen on that. so it'll be don in a few days. you want to huff and puff fine. it'll still take what time it will take." Kami was nothing if not brutally honest.
Both Causstik and kami knew threats would only lead to laughter.
" You want some Chudde? " she asked actually feeling hungry.

 

[Causstik Rahn]

Causstik patted his belly hungrily. It had been a long time since he last and some food would go well with him. His mouth was already salivating at the thought of fresh meat in his belly. He could already smell the Bantha burger on his plate. His stomach gave a loud grumble.

"Mumm, fresh meat would bode well with me,"

(Ooc: lmao, blood for lube lel)

[Kami Meran]

ooc. so lets talk about the tech in the prefatory thread.)

"Ok lets talk shop and eat. i want something in my belly. " she said leading [member="Causstik Rahn"] to the canteen.
"We need to talk a lot of tech details. armor plaiting combat systems ect. " she said breaking into a lit of technical gobbledygook.
a lot of witch was numbers and lists of metals.
she was oblivious to Causstik rolling his eyes and feinting death. as she kept talking technical details with a full mouth.

 

[Causstik Rahn]

Kami proceeded to lead Causstik Rahn the Cantina. They picked a table next to an open view of Causstik's future ship. Causstik ordered a 20 pound steak raw and Kami a burger. She proceeded to spray Causstik with a face full of her meal as she spoke of gadgets and technological do dads. Causstik returned the spray of food with a loud smelly burp of Trandoshan death breath. Then kept pretending to listen whilst nodding occasionally. He almost fell asleep once or twice...

thankfully Lyth informed [member="Causstik Rahn"] of Kami's Autism and that she had problems understanding social interactions.

"Any way we are using an old Harrower for most of the parts so that'll reduce creation time and boost any repair abilities. "
she said looking over to the almost snoreing Causstik,
"Umm did i?... oh man i never looked to see if i was boring you sorry. i tend to not realize others emotions."

 

[Causstik Rahn]

"Hmm," Causstik bolted out of his sleep. "Oh.. uh.. it's okay," he said a little embarrassed at being caught fallen asleep. "Herm, what the khark is a harrower?" Causstik began to tune the woman out to listen to the voices in his head. She might have been oblivious to others, but at least she wasn't crazy
