[center][color=c3be15][h3]Verro Tallav Jedha City, Jedha[/h3][/color][/center][hr] She looked frightened at first, given his sudden appearance, and the over abundance of pirates, bandits, and bounty hunters in the mid and outer rim, he didn't blame her. In an effort to seem more friendly, he pulled down the cloth that concealed his face. It took her a moment, but she took the communications module out of his backpack and examined it closely. Seemingly deep in thought, no doubt seeing things and connections in the device that Verro had no clue about. He set the backpack down on the ground and leaned over to look at her astromech droid, he had met a few before, but never really talked to any. All he knew about them was that they were extremely useful and pretty much the multitool of droids. The droid itself seemed rather unimpressive, basically the shape of a domed trashcan with wheels, but he knew that it was much more. He looked back at the woman, who glanced back up to him. [color=orange][b]“You roughed this up pretty bad, but I think I can fix it.”[/b][/color] She reported. Verro smiled at the news, for an hour he couldn't find a module that fit exactly in the slot in his backpack, and he preferred that model anyways. She pulled out a bottle of orange liquid, then introduced her droid. Kay6, as her personal soldering tool. The droid spoke up and judging by the womans response, it sounded like the droid took a little bit of offense. He wondered if the droid had any weapons and made a personal note to not irritate it until he found out. She continued, explaining that she only carried a few solders on her for Kay6's repairs. She then said something interesting, offering the idea that he should get a communicator with more durability. Verro looked at Kay6, then at the radio the mechanic held in her hands. He didn't get shot in the back often and he wasn't sure if there were any that fit his backpack slot, but maybe he could up-armor it. He thought about simply covering it in durasteel or plastoid, but he needed to access its controls in case he needed to make a long range communication. She spoke up again and Verro shelved the thought, he'd maybe sketch something out later. She said that she could repair it, albeit only a temporary fix. But that still made Verro glad, she bantered with her droid for a little, then carefully looked at the guardsman. [color=orange][b]“You are a friend aren’t you?”[/b][/color] Verro inhaled, taking a moment, [color=c3be15][b]"As long as you're not a pirate or bandit looking to raid shipping vessels, I'm sure we'll get along."[/b][/color] he replied. She didn't look like a bandit, and she didn't seem predatory like most of those types of criminals are. She seemed like a good person. He spoke up again, [color=c3be15][b]"And... it wasn't entirely my fault. The communicator,"[/b][/color] he clarified, [color=c3be15][b]"raiders boarded the vessel I was tasked with guarding. A younger guardsman beside me took a blaster bolt to the shoulder, I had to turn around and apply medical aid immediately. A bolt to the shoulder could cause permanent damage if it healed wrong, worse yet if the bolt punctured any of the arteries he could have been in serious trouble. While I was examining his wound they shot me in the back, comms kit took the blast."[/b][/color] He gestured towards it, [color=c3be15][b]"Probably owe it my life. If I didn't have my ruck on, the bolt might have gone through the back of my head."[/b][/color] the guardsman explained, tapping the side of his helmet. He shook his head and crossed his arms, [color=c3be15][b]"What kind of person shoots a guy providing medical..."[/b][/color], he grumbled, glancing to the floor. He looked back up to the woman. [color=c3be15][b]"The kid is fine, by the way, he luckily had plating that took the brunt of the laser. He just had some minor burning, bruising and some superficial puncture wounds from spalling. Should be out with a doctor right now."[/b][/color] Verro said, point out towards the city with his thumb Verro glanced up to the sky, [color=c3be15][b]"Since we're friends, I'm Verro Tallav."[/b][/color] he put a hand on his over his heart and bowed slightly, [color=c3be15][b]"Merchant guard and occasional hostage rescuer."[/b][/color] He extended a gloved hand for a handshake, [color=c3be15][b]"Your name? I don't have a lot of friends around Jedha."[/b][/color]
