The RBL Store.

[M1A2Tanker]

"Come on in for all your equipment needs.  Have a custom job you want done to make that old blaster shoot further?  Bring it on in and I'll fix you up with the Blas-Tech X10 Beam Focuser lens.  Want a vibroblade for that mugger?  We've got all kinds in here, from dainty Ladies blades to Gamorean battle axes."

"We also specialize in those hard to find custom jobs, such as the add-on upgrade to your blaster that give it that extra punch when you need it.  Need a specialized medical pack?  Got that too.  Want to work on your own equipment?  We've got fully equipped workstations for you to rent if you wish, and four ranges for weapons testing.  Want to work your ship over?  Bring it over to the RBL Store Hanger Bay, where we have the most advanced equipment available for you to work on your ship, and the best Wookie techs in the universe to assist.  You can also customize your ship as you see fit.  

"Our last items are the vehicles.  We've got everything you can get for a price, and leads onto other things as well.  Need an Incom model Xwing?  We've got them.  Need a line on a YT-1300 Corellian Transport, we've got a few that we can refurbish for you to your specifications (waiting time for delivery varies).  Come in and check out our line up.  You won't be disappointed."

Tank looked over his ad and nodded.  "This'll do it."  He placed it outside his shop door and stepped in, flipping the CLOSED sign to OPEN.  

He took his seat behind the counter and waited, good quality music playing over the speaker system.



This is basically an ongoing RP for everyone to mess around with.  Ninja Ewoks, Drunken Wookies and what have you abound.  ^_^

*walking aimlessly around the base*

hey when did that store get here?  let's go check it out.  

"LOL well looks like we found a way to keep you busy ehhhhh Tank?"

*tank sets his paper down*  "shuddap Ace!"

"Hey since you got this here thing up and runnin, I got some equipment I'll add to the list.   Here just look over this list from the Incenerator's excess"

1.  1 light scout Shadow Cat Mech with a heavy laser, two machine gun banks, and an IFF jammer.
2.  35 ex Imperial officers locked in the prison deck
3.  2 pretty shot up T-Wings from the "training sessions"
4.  6 fully operation I-7 Howl Runners
5.  5 neon signs that say "Imperial Life Rules"
6.  3 full size posters of the Emperor and little Darth Vader
7.  100 Imperial recruitment pamphlets
8.  2 fully loaded Daishi Mechs with 4 long range heavy lasers, 2 gause rifles, and long range missle banks
9.  2 double bladed light sabres (confiscated)
10.  3 disruptor rifles
11.  2 wookie bowcasters
12.  12 Tie Wings (don't ask)
13.  1 Imperial Admiral's Uniform
14.  5 insane Selkath (captured, don't ask lol)
15.  35 links of tank tread...............

[M1A2Tanker]

Tank looked at the list slowly, scratching his chin.  "Well, the mechs probably won't sell too well, since there's not much else out on the market that's comparable.  But we'll see.  Can't do anything with the officers, the pamphlets, or the Selkath.  You're kinda stuck with'em.  And you can't sell me back my own tank treads Ace..."  

He looked at Ace with a slightly accusatory gaze.

"As for the weapons, ships, the neon sign, which by-the-way I'll have one up just for grins and giggles, and the uniform I can take.  The sabers though I'll have to lock up.  Can't just sell those to anyone after all."  

[Acehigh]

Those three mechs are just the extras I have.  There are 24 fully operation ones in the Incenerator's hangar ready for action.  I was thinking of pitching them to the Galactic Alliance for ground troop support.  They have quite the punch for ground based vehicles.  As for the officers and the selkath, I'll have to just execute them lol.  Ohhhhhhhh Tank, I just found one more sign.  "Emperor's Secret Order"  I'll keep diggin through the mess and see if I can find anything else.

[M1A2Tanker]

"And I suppose you're going to want something in exchange aren't you?"  Tank replied as he stuck one of the neon signs up over the weapons aisle.  

At that moment Tank walked into the store, saw his double and waved.  "I see you've got someone at least dropping things off in here."

"Have to start somewhere Tank."

"Indeed CT."  Tank looked over at Ace and noticed the confusion.  "Oh, sorry, that's a powered down clone of me, so call him CT.  Helps tell us apart."  

[Goku1]

Goku walks into the shop, looking for something very particular. He spots Ace and Tank trying to work out a deal on the counter, and CT locking up the double-bladed lightsabers.

He strolled over to the weapons isle and started looking. " X-2 Imperial Heavy Repeater.... hmm, no, to slow and not enough accuracy. XK-37 Tactical field anti-personel wide beam blaster rifle..... nah, only effective at close range.*

Tank looks up and notices the currently Super Saiyan warrior. The static tingle in the air from the power emitted from Goku's body made Tank's skin tingle, but the sensation only lasted a moment. "Hey Goku, can i help you find something?"

Goku looked over at the camoflauged Jedi Master as Tank made his way over the Goku. "Thanks Tank. I'd like a little help. I'm looking for a high powered laser sniper rifle, model SR-93, you know, like the one Cap. Myn Donos uses."

[M1A2Tanker]

"That's a good rifle, but there's a new one out now.  Here..."  CT lead the way since he was done with the sabers, and pointed out the row of different blaster rifles and carbines.  He pulled out an exceptionally sleek and deadly looking one with a long barrel and large digital scope.

"Now this is the SR-122, made by the same company.  It has a longer range, more powerful punch, faster recharge rate, built in stabilization for the scope, and easy break down for transportation purposes.  Once you sight it in to your own specific sighting picture, it hardwires it into its processor, so you'll never need to resight it."  He holds the rifle out for Goku.

"Oh yes, before I forget, you need to show that you're qualified to use it before you can purchase.  Not my rules so you know."  

[M1A2Tanker]

"What the...."  Tank scratched his head.  "...where you finding all these officers at???  And I always wondered where all my tank tread went off too..."

[D'orjahl]

"PUT THAT THING DOWN!!!"

Came a voice from the doorway to the stock room.

"YER GONNA PUNCH A HOLE THROUGH THE HULL THIS STATION THE SIZE OF YER ILL USED MELLON WITH THAT GUNDARK KILLER!"

Standing in the doorway is a somewhat lanky man in his mid to late forties. Unshaved for several days wearing flight technitians coveralls, dirty hefting a satchel of tools and bradishing a half eaten banana.

"Here, I have just whatcha need to match the tallents you posess."

With that he starts rummaging thought his satchel and brings forth a light weight "Y" shaped metallic object about nineteen CM in length. The object sports two badly streatched rubber tubes inter-connected by a short strip of leather.

"There you go." He said tossing the leathal weapon to Goku.

"Get good with this and we'll talk about moving you up to the BB Gun."

With that, D'orjahl turns his back on the seathing Goku and dissapears back into the stockroom.
Out through the open doorway an empty banana peel is tossed backwardly and lands on the freshly wiped glass case counter in this newly opened millitary pawn shop.

[M1A2Tanker]

CT shook his head as he smirked.  "Typical D'orjahl....cranky as all get out.  But a really good mechanic.  Although he doesn't seem to get along too well with the Wookies..."  He shrugged as he picked up the bannana peel.  

"Have to have a talk with him about this..."

[Goku1]

As the gruff mechanic stalks out the door, Goku takes up the proper position of a slinger, pulls a mint out of his pocket, loads it into the slingshot, and yells, " D'orjahl, you want good, you've got the best."

 Goku pulls back, takes aim, and lets fly the slingshot. The mint hurls through the air and made a beeline for the mechanic, who whirled around just in time to see the mint zip right by his head.

  Goku appeared directly behind D'orjahl, and picked the mint out of the air before it hit the bulkhead. He re-loaded the mint, took aim, and hit the opitcal sensor of an outdated and dismantled 3-PO unit that sat a good 70 feet from him, shattering it.

Goku stepped in front of the awed mechanic, pulled himself to his full height and said, "That good enough for you? And as for a BB gun, heck, i grew out of those when i was a kid."

Goku walks over to where CT is still holding the SR-122. CT hands the rifle to him. Goku twirls it about like it was his old power pole, then in an instant takes aim and shoots of a snap shot aimed directly at D'orjhal. The mint, which no one had seen Goku place on the mechanic's head, vaporized in an instant.

Goku handed the rifle back to CT. "Nice rifle, almost no kickback, very nice balance. How much?"

[D'orjahl]

Smoke begins to pour into the store from the stockroom filling the air with noxious fumes and blinding everyone. Klaxons begin to blare calling the entire station to "General Quarters" and a second, equaly loud alarm starts whailing indicating a "hull breach"

D'orjahl picking him self up from the deck half blinded begins cussing and screaming, half blinded by the vapors emmiting from the stockroom.

"YOU #%^@*& MULLET HEAD!!! WHAT DO YOU..."
*BLAM*!!!

D'orjahl is lifted from the deck by an explosion in the stockroom and thrown into a mannequin wearing an old OBS TIE pilots flight suit.
 Shaking off the dizzyspell to follow and realizing that he can't tell exactly where he is anymore and dosn't know the way out, he begins to pull the helmet and lifesuport off of the mannequin.

"Figgures" D'orjahl thought to himself.
"I always knew that these things were worn by dummies, now another one gets to put it on."
D'orjahl straped down the chest plate and pulled the helmet over his head. Though his eye's were still half blinded, he could now breath easier and soon caught his breath. With a flip of a rocker swith he activated the VR display in the helmet and could actualy begin to see through the smoke with limited capability.
 "O.K. first things first. Stop fire!"

D'orjahl stood and made his way to the stockroom nearly tripping over CT.
"#^%$#@, now I gotta play Fireman."
The flight tech grabbed CT by the ankles and began dragging him to the entrace of the store.  When he entered the corridor he met with a disorented Ace and Tankwho were still caughing and wiping the tears from thier eyes.
 Ace was the first to clear his eye's.
"Man! I never thought I'd be happy to see a TIE pilot!"Said Ace as he helped D'orjahl pull CT into the corridor.
"Save yer sas, I hate these outfits and the nuts who were em!" Snaped the tech.
"where's Goku?" Said Tank getting his sight back and accounting for his mates.
"Who? OH! you mean MULLET HEAD! He probably ran off like a scalded mynock when the stockroom blew. THE STOCKROOM!!!!" With that D'orjahl ran back into the store for the stockroom.
 As the gruff flight technitian disapreared into the store Tank and Ace pulled CT farther from the store entrance. Station personel were running up and down the corridor moving into there battle stations.
"Where are the fire squads?" Ace wondered aloud.
"I don't know" Answered Tank. "But look...  ...no smoke is comming out of the store. It must be getting sucked out through the hull breach"
"Well, if the smoke is getting sucked out and the fire squads aren't here to stop the fire, that means we are probably on the wrong side of the FIRE BREAK!" Exclaimed Ace.


D'orjahl enters the stockroom, the room is void of smoke or flame.  "Where is the fire?" D'orjahl wondered to himself.
The tech located where the blaster blew through some shelves knocking them down and ignighting some lubricants staring the fire that had smoked out the store. Looking through the trail of holes left by the rifle, he saw that the line lead right into the hangar bay.
"O.K. well here was where the fire was, but why did it go out?"
The lubricants were scattered about as though they had been blasted apart from one another. Looking about the wear house like store room D'orjahl spies a foot sticking out from under a toppled shelf.
"What the... hold on mate! we'll have you out in a bit!"
D'orjahl reaches down to lift the metal shelves from the man pinned under them.
"GRUUUUUNNNNNT" Taking all his effort to raise the shelves he finaly get's them up over his head and looks down at the man.
"awwwww $@&%...... well, at least the mullet didn't run off."
 There lay Goku covered with leaky boxes of root beer syrup. Resisting the temptation of just dropping the shelves back down on the motionless form of Goku, the grizzled tech pushed his load over and away from the unfourtunate heap.
 As D'orjahl leaves the store to report his findings to Tank, the alarms go silent. The air in the store still has a slight haze. A voice cracks over the intercom. "FIRE IN HANGAR BAY UNDER CONTROLE, HULL BREACH SECURE".....

"I told that mullet to leave that thing alone..... he couldn't even hit me with a sling shot while my back was turned...   i can't belive it.... he broke that droid eye that I had already commited to sell on E-bay.... now how in the nine nebula am i gonna explain this to my coustomer!? Those out dated optic sensors are getting harder and harder to come by...." .....
....
D'orjahl turns around at the stores entrance..... and starts back into the store.... stripping off the helmet.
"I'm going to kill him...." **starts screaming** "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM, I'M GONNA BEAT HIM TO DEATH WITH THIS %##%N HELMET I'M GONNA RAM THIS FREAKIN CHEST PLATE DOWN HIS *&^$(* THROAT I'M GONNA MAKE HIM EAT THIS LIFE SUPORT.... MULLET YOU GOTTA DIE!!!!!"

[M1A2Tanker]

Tank would have gone back inside but the cursing and whatnot he heard coming back out long before D'orjahl appeared let him know that he should wait a second.  

Sure enough the grizzled tech walked out, still cursing and screaming obsenities.  

"D'orjahl, calm down.  What did you find?"  Tank said as sternly and calmly as possible.

The man just jerked a thumb over his shoulder and said, "Mullet head stopped the fire, but he made one hell of a mess."  

"So I gathered."  Tank said dryly as he walked in.  He looked over the messed up store, at the merchandise down on the floor, the holes left in the walls and...

"Oh man...D'orjahl is not going to like this..."  He said as he looked at the damaged, or rather wrecked remains of his prized possesion...a fully functional missile boat that he uses for space drag racing.  Tank shook his head and went over to where Goku was still laid out.  He gazed at the Saiyan with hard eyes, his arms crossed.  He was going to wait until he woke up.

"Goku...when you wake up, we'll have a nice little chat..."  

[Acehigh]

"Just finished checking out the rest of the hangar and the backside of the store.  All clear.  R 2Vader and Mauler, I need you two to come back into the store"

The still slightly dazed Jedi Knight and pilot walked sheepishly back round to the front of the store.  Upon arriving there he spots tank standing over a comatose Goku.  

"Tank all's clear round back.  Luckily, using that term loosely, the missle boat was the only ship to obtain damage.  I've commed R 2 Vader and Mauler and they are bringing the droid pilots out of the Incenerator's hangar bay.  While I know you don't trust my Impy droids they have their usefulness.  This isn't the best time to throw this on ya, but they are all programmed for starfighter combat and they can repair anything with ion drives and weapons."

Tank rolled his eyes and looked back at Ace.  "Are you sure they aren't more of your dark side disciples?"

"Trust me they follow my every command.  Since we left the Empire they have agreed to behave.  R 2 Vader is the only one that still has some 'flaws' left to work out lol"

Just as that sentence is finished R 2 Vader, Mauler, and 18 droids of various makes are seen approaching the hangar.  Clone wars style battle droids, a couple yvh droids, and even a couple 3po models are in the mottley group.  

"Ace all droids operational and ready for instruction."  came the metalic voice of R 2 Vader.

"Alright guys with your permission Tank I'd like to have them start repairing the Missle Boat, and damaged droids in the shop?"

"Alright Ace lets see what these guys can do.  I've always wanted to meet your "TAU Pilots" anyway.  Just make sure they don't do anything funny."

"Aye Aye sir.  TAU Squadron you heard the man, lets get to work!"

[Goku1]

Goku blinks his eyes and starts rubbing his head.

"Man, mabey using the rootie syrup to snuff the fire wasn't such a good idea, but snuffing it with my energy was. But i gotta find out how Vegeta manages to breathe vacume...."

Goku looks grogily around as he gets to his feet. He's completely drenched from head to toe in the rootie syrup, and he had a feeling he might get dunked in the trout tank as a treat for the fish.
