Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

"That does sound special... I want to see her someday." She said with a sigh.

"Oh, hmm... I could guess, but I'm in the same boat. I'm way less fashionable than you are, never mind her," she replied apologetically. "I'd probably wear the same outfit every day if people didn't comment on that sort of thing."

"Sure, though I have a little left," she replied with a small smile as she followed after. "What does she like? Or like to do?"

"That makes sense." The talk of the ship obviously got her notice. "Oh? How so? Light freighters can be really adaptable."

"Hopefully. I hear patience is a virtue," she replied with a small laugh. "I'm working on that one. Sometimes a project is too exciting."

Ashlin was something of the opposite - she looked clean and mostly uninjured, just a patch on her arm from the previous day. Her spirits are less high, though, while she was truly doing her best to fake a positive attitude. She didn't want to bother anyone more than she already had. She cast a few g...

"That is good to know," he says, nodding to Ashlin. "Would it be better to do remote activation? Or to have a series of them as a border and constantly running?" "Definitely the latter. That was the intention initially," she replied. "I'm going to make some refinements to it to make it more focused...

"I would really have to outdo myself in the realm of social awkwardness...."

"Also, I don't feel any effect from the sonic emitters, but are there any potential long term effects that might come up? Also, are there any other species that this sound range will affect?" he asks. "Probably want to keep other insectoid species out of range. I'll have to work on it with them. No...

"Ooooh, lucky lucky. Maybe that's what I should look for in a husband eventually."

"I was just thinking it reminded me of an extra limb, too," she laughed. "I mean, as long as it works, who cares?"

"I think maybe people don't often notice how connected everything is, too. I bet not having that point of reference makes it harder to understand."

"Once we know it works, it won't be hard to conceal," she said. "No solution is going to be perfect, but it's better than what we have now."

"Hmm... Well, I'll leave that arena to the people who specialize in it and just hope this part works out," she said with a shrug.

"Huh. Neat," she said as she turned back to her work. "Why do people seem so confused and alarmed by it?"

Delmi turned to Ashlin, “Is it lethal?” "Not normally! It was intended to be set up outside of the hives...!" She yelled over the clamor of the fighting and the slam of their shoes against the ground. Unfortunately, her hasty flight took her too close to one of the Killiks, and a swing later, she e...

I'm kind of squishy. I have two greens to throw at this roll, but I was just planning on soaking it. Edit: Did okay

"Exactly my thought," she agreed. "But I hear, 'it's more complicated than that' a lot in regard to politics, so I don't know if anyone would object to it for some other reason."

"Huh..." She watched what he did, finally nodded. "I know I'm super oversimplifying it, but I guess it makes sense that if there's something connecting everything, then you could use that to get them even more connected."

"Well, it's not like the goal is to drive them from the hive. The ideal would be to keep them contained to the hive and surrounding areas. They might react to them because they're uncomfortable, but any perimeter shouldn't be set up close enough to affect the hive itself," she shrugged.

Ashlin glanced around and took the compacted item out of her backpack, tweaking the settings one final time. Then she extended the mount and shoved it into the ground, setting up the anchors. "All right... You guys aren't going to hear anything, but the Killiks might freak out. They should mostly ba...
