Pit Stop

The Nimble Dragon stopped suddenly. Niner turned to Baron, it was that slow head twirl that Niner always did when the captain forgot to fuel the ship. "I know, I know. I just didn't think."
"Forgive me for I am programmed by yourself to give you this instruction in this scenario: Aegon stop forgetting to fuel the damn ship."
"I really should remove that instruction."
"You've tried before but I thought it wise to counteract your removal. I may be a droid but at least I have some basic common sense."
"Alright quit being a wise ass!" Aegon huffed. Niner switched on the communications device, his voice boomed across the ship. "Apologies Miss Keokea but we will be taking an unscheduled refuelling stop." Inna was in the room adjacent to the cockpit, she had started to hit against the wall as a way of acknowledging their communications.

The Nimble Dragon began its descent. The nearest planet where the Empire wouldn't be looking for them was Takodana, the luscious green planet and an excellent place for a quick and easy rest. Inna walked into the cockpit and stood between Niner and Baron's seats. "Takodana, now that's somewhere I haven't been in a long time." Inna commented. "I've never been," Baron replied.
"Last time I was here I was working with Mojokerto, we were picking up some narcotics."
"Sounds very legal..." Baron added.
"It's not like what you do is the most accepted thing in the galaxy." Inna smiled and turned to Niner. "Miss Keokea do you plan on seeing Takodana again during our refuelling?"
"As much as I can, it's one of the nicer planets in the Mid Rim."
"Well you'll have time. I think the ship is going to need a few repairs while we're here, haven't had any proper work done on the hull since the Denon business."
"I did suggest you to make some basic repairs after our time on Denon," Niner said sounding slightly annoyed.
"Shut up Niner!"
