Something isn't right, and once Raphael pulls himself out of the fog of sleep and sits up in a bunk, he blinks. "Where the heck-?" It takes him a moment to realize where he is, and when the communicator goes off, he pulls it out and stares as he processes the message from Ga Re. "...wait, seriously?!"

It's amazing how fast the turtle can move, up and out of the room in a heartbeat. He's making a beeline for the cockpit, practically throwing himself into the seat. "They could've given us more of a warning!" he complains, grabbing the steering yoke as he finally looks out towards their destination. "....whoa."

Raph You're So Nice

[plate_builder]

Oh, they could have been given any warning. Preparations are always advisable. But the Agrii are terrible at that. Reeve is slower to roll out of his bunk. Watching the rush of green is enough for him to decide to take a moment to rise before following.

What? He's got more than enough faith in Raph after all the First Breath has survived in his hands. He makes his way toward the cockpit and looks at the display, frowning.

"There is something wrong with that planet. It... looks like it's just one city."

[heypartner]

"It is one city," Cobb says as he pokes his head into the cockpit. He can't rush through the ship or else he'll bump his head on one of the pipes. He's also still generally uneasy about space travel. He's never done it before.

He braces a hand against the doorway and stares at a planet he's only known about through stories and holovids.

"Coruscant's a Core world in my galaxy. Most civilized place there is, they say. City all the way down to the ground." He frowns a little. Could he get home? He wants to believe it but... there's a trick somewhere. "Should be safe to land. The New Republic controls it in my time and I don't see any Imperial cruisers hangin' around."

[rage_on]

"It's a city?!" Raphael sputters, looking from Reeve to Cobb once he's joined in the cockpit. Sure enough, the more they close in on the planet, the more apparent the sources of those concentric glowing lines along its surface are.

"You know this neighborhood then? Huh." Well, come to think of it, the Agrii did mention something about a lot of them being from the same place. Still, he's not sure what all they expect from this.

"Looks like we're already being pointed towards some place," he says as he takes the cue from the display that comes up. "Taking us in."

[plate_builder]

One city. Reeve's expression fade into disapproval. He can already foresee all the problems that could result in. He's built a city in the sky.

"How bad, one must wonder, the lives of those who live below are," he muses. "The places considered the most civilized are only so because they've hidden all the ways they're failing their people."

So it seems Cobb isn't alone in thinking this place isn't all it seems to be. If everything seems so nice and lovely, a lot of people are lying.

"A place to keep the ships docked. Seems fair. We shall have to see if someone with Comms can create a beacon to the location to help everyone return to them without issues."

His attention turns to Cobb again, a man he doesn't know and thus cannot address directly. But he'll try.

"What are the chances people here will speak the same language that we all, inexplicably, do."

[heypartner]

"It's shit." Cobb could answer from experience having spent a long time mining underground. Those people at the bottom might think the sun a myth for all they knew of the rich life on the surface.

He leans into the cockpit a little bit more and starts scanning over the control panel of the ship, looking to see if he recognizes any sort of comm array. He has no idea what he's looking for really.

"Can we hail the other ships and let them know we'll go in first? Things might be complicated for a few folks on this planet." Cobb isn't wanted by anyone, not like the Jedi and Mando might be. He can walk around freely. So should Reeves and Raphael. "If we scout around it'll be good though the little read out said we're in the past..."

Which he still doesn't understand.

He nods at Reeves. "They should be speak Galactic basic. Which is what we're speakin' right now. Huttese alsooh common. Jee seel translate beke speak lo." Cobb didn't think Bocce would be spoken here but he had that in his back pocket if necessary. Huttese might not be a common trade language right now but always worth a shot. His galactic history was spotty at best.

Billy finally wanders in, still looking half asleep, hair mussed and blinking blearily out at the plant.

"...This is new," he notes, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "...What'd I miss? Everyone looks worried. Like...extra worried, on top of the suddenly being back in space worried."

[rage_on]

"Should be that button there," Raphael says, pointing it out on the console before returning his hand to the controls. "Or you can just use the tablets." They at least had no shortage of getting in touch with each other, and by now most of the others should be awake unless they were heavy sleepers.

"Scouting sounds good. I'm all for some scouting." Right up his alley. There's a moment when he squints over at Cobb as the guy starts babbling in alien tongues. "Uh-huh. Guess that's not the weirdest thing I've heard."

He glances over his shoulder at the new voice. "I mean. We've been thrown on a surprise space-trip going to a planet that looks like it's nothing but city, but I don't know about worried."

From the looks of it, the hangar's attached to some larger building, virtually a private port for them. Raphael brings the ship in nice and easy. One wouldn't think it, but he's actually had spaceship flying experience even before having info stuffed into his head from a datapoint.

[plate_builder]

"I'm worried for the health of this planet, and the level of corruption I expect to run into," Reeve counters Raphael's point quite handily for his own part. Yes, Billy, he is worried. Perhaps no one else was, but Reeve was just that sort of person. One who was very concerned.

"Good morning, Mister Kaplan. The Agrii are up to their old tricks. I think I preferred the resort planet to this, already."

AS for Cobb's words, well, Reeve is a touch relieved over that. Being able to be understood was vital.

[heypartner]

“Good point. Might just wait until they land.” Cobb glances out the windows of the cockpit. Other ships are moving to land and one of them looks a little rough.

He’d also keep in mind that everyone on his ship couldn’t speak Huttese if he needs to talk around them. He should work on those trust issues.

“If these are like hangars back home it should have an owner who rents the space out and possibly some droids.” Cobb shifts a little to grab a pipe as they touched down. Landing didn’t unnerve him as much as waking up in kriffing space did.

Once they touch down he moves to the door and the ramp. The Aurebesh looked a little different than what he was used to but close enough for him to read. Yeah, this was definitely his galaxy and seemed it might be old.

He saunters out with his hand loose by his blaster and starts looking for the person in charge of the hangar. If there was one.
