Aeris nodded, contemplating his words as she attempted to come up with a plan for how to approach it. “You’re right. We do need more information,” she agreed, although she wasn’t quite sure about the whole observing for a while thing. They didn’t have the luxury of days, or even hours to spend observing each of their targets. Then again, that wasn’t exactly her style anyways, nor did she think it would be necessary.<br/><br/>The only reason their current intel was so limited was because she’d been searching for all of the Force Sensitives, trying to gather a little information about each one while in a shuttle above the planet battling with the distraction of strong emotions around her. Once they were close to the individuals, with a little time and the ability to focus, she could gather more information and in a fraction of the time. Once they had more information, they could come up with a plan for how to approach them and convince them to leave this place and join them.<br/><br/>Aeris didn’t have the same reaction that Jek had when the ramp fell to reveal a good amount of snow on the ground. She actually enjoyed the snow. She found it peaceful, even calming. It was a welcomed sight, especially with what was to come. She pulled the hood of her jacket up and led the way off of the shuttle, heading toward the transportation hub. They would undoubtedly need a speeder today, as their destination was farther off this time. Thankfully, all of the individuals lived close to one another, not as spread out as those they had picked up the day before, so that would at least cut down on their time just a bit.<br/><br/>“Do you think you could drive today?” she asked, her voice and presence level and confident, although she did not use the same commanding tone with him that she used with the soldiers. She looked Jek’s way as they walked through the snow, wondering if he would be okay with it. She knew that piloting wasn’t necessarily his forte, but she wished to try to use the drive time wisely and it would be difficult, albeit not impossible, to meditate while piloting the speeder. Besides, it would be good practice for him, which she thought he wouldn’t mind, and she had faith in him, so she knew that they would be just fine.<br/><br/>“I want to meditate and see what else I can learn about these three,” she explained, “Perhaps we can come up with a plan of sorts by the time we reach the town,” she suggested as they neared the transportation hub. “I know piloting isn’t your favorite thing, though, so if you don’t want to, I won’t make you,” she told him, sneaking in a little smile as she looked up at him before focusing her eyes back on the road ahead. Once they reached the transportation hub, she spoke to the attendant and got them a speeder, then returned to his side to confirm his decision before climbing into the speeder.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jax was quiet, standing beside her as she pounded on the door and they waited for an answer. He was surprised when the one who answered the door was taller than him, forcing him to look up, which was not something he often had to do. It wasn’t like he was abnormally tall, so he had met various aliens and even a few humans that were taller than he was, but it was not often that he met someone who towered over him the way this alien did.<br/><br/>He kept his surprise from showing on his face and said nothing as An spoke to the alien, telling him that Revan wanted them to learn the ways of the Force. He noted the lack of usage of his title, either Darth or Lord. He guessed that she was trying not to draw attention to his fall to the dark side, instead using the allure of his reputation as a hero during the Mandalorian Wars. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that, but he guessed that this was the way of the Sith.<br/><br/>The alien seemed surprisingly compliant and soon disappeared back into their home, returning several minutes later with a packed bag. He was glad that it had been easy and that they had apparently agreed to join. He only hoped that the alien didn’t have an issue with it once they found out what she had neglected to mention. For now, though, the issue at hand was how to transport them. He knew that there was no way they could fit into the speeder. Even if he could modify it to hold the weight, there would be no room for any of the others they would be attempting to recruit.<br/><br/>He held back a sigh as he realized that An-Lok was leaving this problem to him. “Any chance you own a large vehicle?” he asked, not expecting that he would, but wanting to cover his bases. The alien shook its head and Jax resisted yet another sigh and nodded an understanding. Of course not. “Do you know how to pilot a speeder or speeder bike?” he asked and this time the alien gave him a nod. “Alright, then.” He could think of a few different options, but as for which would better serve their purposes, he was undecided.<br/><br/>They could call for a shuttle to pick up the recruit and either take him back to the cruiser or the city, but each of these options came with their own set of issues. The third option was to find a vehicle big enough to fit the alien. That might be the best option, if they could find one. “Wait here, I’ll be back,” he instructed the alien before he strode quickly through the snow towards the transportation hub to find out what options they had. It wasn’t a large or major city, so their selection was likely to be limited to standard vehicles in standard sizes. A speeder van, speeder truck, or even a large model landspeeder would work, but even if they found one, they would slow them down. A larger model speeder bike or swoop bike would be their best bet, he thought.<br/><br/>When he reached the transportation hub, he spoke to the attendant about what he was looking for and took a look at their options. He was disappointed that he didn’t see anything that looked like it would work. When he told the attendant that he didn’t find anything that would work, the man thought for a moment before leading him to an area with numerous speeders and speeder bikes in various levels of disrepair. Some appeared to have been wrecked or otherwise damaged, others were in need of minor repairs, and a few were simply older models that had been decommissioned to make room for the newer models.<br/><br/>Jax looked through them and was excited to find one that he thought would work without requiring extensive repair. It was a somewhat bulky older model and needed a little care and maybe some modifications, but it would serve their purposes well.<span style="font-style: italic">“I think I found something that will work,”</span>he spoke into An-Lok’s mind.<span style="font-style: italic">“It will take me a little time to repair it, though. Maybe half an hour? An hour at most,”</span>he explained as he took a look at the speeder bike and noted what he would need to work on. He told the man what parts he would need and paid a discounted rate for the bike and the parts to fix it himself.<br/><br/>He shed his jacket and put it off to the side, not wanting to get it dirty and knowing that he was likely to warm up as he worked. He got to work taking things apart and removing any old or damaged parts while the man fetched the parts he had purchased. It wasn’t long before the new parts were brought to him and he got to work replacing them. With no further distractions, he focused intently on repairing the vehicle, blocking out everything else.<br/><br/>Once he was in this focused state, it took him just over half an hour to complete the repairs, as well as a few small modifications. He used their facilities to clean himself up a little before donning his jacket, hopping on the bike, and starting the engine. He navigated the vehicle out into the streets and then back to where the speeder was parked. He brought it up along side the speeder and hopped off, stepping off to the side and coming to stand near An-Lok, gesturing for the alien to take a look and see if he thought that he could ride it without too many issues.
