SS: Ugh, how much farther do we have to walk?
XF: Until we find something to get us off this rock.
SS: Hey, what's that?
XF: Well I'll be, it's some kind of store.
SS: I wonder if it's named after me...
MG: Donz be ridiculouz. Thaz preposteroz.
*SS and XF walk in, but a sign says "No droids or pets allowed" leaving MG and the cat outside*
Store manager: Hi! Welcome to Saver Scorp! We have the best deals on weapons, technology, antique war supplies, etc.
XF: So I see...
Store asistant: Would you like a tour?
SS: Uh, sure.
*The SM takes XF to one section, while the SA takes SS to the other*
SM: Over here is our selection of flamethrowers, as well as antique Clone Wars and Pre-Clone Wars battle droids.
XF: Interesting...
SA: This is our selection of weapons and military supplies.
SS: *drools*
SS: OH! An Imperial Light Repeater! WHAT! 1000 credits!
SA: Here is a standard Imperial Blaster for only 250 credits.
SS: But those are so lousy, you can't hit anything with them.
XF: Hmm, flamethrower 4000, wookie design, I presume?
SM: Yes, I was able to get one off a wookie when they were testing it here on Endor on those cursed Ewoks.
XF: Sounds like you don't like these ewoks very much.
SM: Not at all. They constantly raid my store, and two of them killed my wife. I've got a huge bounty on their hides.
SS: AH! A rail launcher! WHAT! 3000 credits!!!
SA: That's not even including the ammo.
XF: How much is the bounty?
SM: 1000 credits each. Here's what they look like.
XF: Thank you very much.
SS: *grumbles* Best prices... hrumph.
XF: See ya around.
SS: Bye.
SM ad SA: Thank you! Please come again!
SS: So, what are we doing now?
XF: Collecting a bounty on two ewoks.
SS: But how are we goung to find ewoks, especially the ones we want?
XF: I don't know, may take a few days, maybe even weeks. Heck, maybe even--
*the two stumble upon the prey they're looking for*
Ewoks: Yub yub
SS: Whoa, that was easy.
XF: I'll say. *compares with pictures* Yep, these are the two.
SS: What are they holding those white flowers for?
XF: Hmmm, I believe white has something to do with war, I can't quite remember though...
MG: I believe sirz-
SS: Shut up MG! We're trying to think!
MG: But I- XF: Silence! Argh, I think I almost got it... White and war, white and war...
SS: OH! I know! The white flowers are gersantaniums, which is a deadly poison! They're trying to kill us! OPEN FIRE!!!
XF and SS: Oof!
XF: AAHH!! Kitty! Help!!!
SS: Whoa! EECK!
SS: GAH!! Help XF! Oof! Are you sure this bounty is worth it!?
XF: Coming! It's our only chance to get money to get off this planet!
SS: *groan*
XF: Ugh!
Kitty: HISS!!
*ewok throws kitty*
SS: *rolling over* Yikes!
XF: *stumbling* Whoa!
XF: HI YA!
SS: Take that!
XF: OW! SS, help me kill this blasted armless ewok!
SS: Coming, coming...
*kitty makes sure the other ewok is dead, and then promptly sprays the corpse*
*SS blasts the ewok*
XF: Whew, thanks.
SS: My pleasure. Now what?
XF: Well, the guy said he wanted their hides, so let's skin them and bring them back.
*SS and XF ignite their lightsabers and get to work*
*kitty picks up ewok arm and brings it to MG*
MG: Get away you feline! I don't want that arm!
XF: There. Now with some of my handy dandy whipcorp, we can tie these pelts onto us and carry them back to Saver Scorpion and collect our bounty. Oh, and could you carry my helmet MG?
MG: Zure, zir.
SS: I'll make a pile of the ewoks' remains as a reminder for other ewoks.
XF: Oof! These are heavier that I thought!
SS: *grunt* Good thing that the store isn't very far away.
*back at the store*
XF: We've come to collect our money.
SM: And you have earned it!
SA: Here you go!
SS and XF: Thanks!
SS: *drooling* Must get that repeater!
XF: What!? Get back here! We have to save this money for getting off this planet!
SS: *reluctantly* Oh, all right. *sniff*
XF: Thanks again, bye!
SM: See ya around.
SS: AACK!!! MG! What happened!?
MG: Thoze devil ewokz came and ripped off my armz. They ran away az zoon az you came out.
XF: What happened to kitty?!
MG: I couldn't zee becazse of all the ewokz ripping off my armz.
XF: *sniff* I guess we'll have to assume the worst...
XF: Scorp, cover for me while I put on my helmet.
SS: Sure thing.
XF: All right, we'd better make ourselves scarce, and quickly.
SS: Where are we going?
XF: Anywhere. Hey, what's that white thing over there?
XF: KITTY!!!
SS: Ya, ya, your cat's back. We can't stand around forever, we're just srtting ourselves up for an ambush. Besides, my droid is geting heavy.
XF: Agreed, hey, kitty is going somewhere. Maybe he has something to show us...
SS: Ya, right.
XF: You were saying?
SS: That's one smart cat.
XF: Hmm, ramp down, nobody in sight, looks...
SS: Conspicuous.
XF: Hmm, online computer is still on. Looks like we can make this baby fly.
SS: Well, if it's the only way off this horror land...
*XF starts up the ship and lifts off*
Kyle Katarn: HEY! What are you doing with my ship!!? COME BACK!!!!! I'll get you for this, even if I have to become sith to do it!!!
*en route to Coretheca*
XF: Nav computer say it will take roughly two days to get to Coretheca.
SS: Ugh, it's going to be a boring trip..
XF: Maybe not. I pick up a pamphlet telling the history of Saver Scorpion.
SS: Oh? Let's hear it...
XF: Ok, says here...
"Hi! I'm Jasper Jaskus, founder of Saver Scorpion INC. The origin of the name came from when I was stationed on Endor, fighting for the Empire under Commander Justyn Stebbins. My commader won my respect by his outstanding bravery and courage
during the heat of the battle; he was the only stormtrooper to actually kill an ewok. I heard he became a bounty hunter under the name of Saber-Scorpion, and from that name I have called my munitions store 'Saver-Scorpion' ever since.
SS: Told ya it was named after me!
XF: *grumbles* Ya ya, don't rub it in... Let's look in this ship's captain log...
"Stardate (*^&%$@(*, Captain Kyle Katarn."
XF: Whoa, the dates are all messed up. And, uh oh, we took Katarn's ship.
SS: He's not going to like that...
XF: *uneasily* Well, let's just continue reading...
"I propsed to Jan today, she said she would accept if I got rid of 'that piece of junk, the Raven and replaced with the Crow.' Guess I'm heading back to the Valley of the Jedi...
Stardate *%$**&, Captain Kyle Katarn.
Found the Crow, and shipped it back to Yavin Four. Used up all my credits fixing up that blasted thing, but at least it's a lot better than the Raven.
Stardate )**$%#%, Captain Kyle Katarn.
Jan has accepted my proposal, and today we head off to Endor for our honeymoon."
SS: Whoa! You stole their ship while they were on their HONEYMOON!
XF: Oops. Well, I'll give it back to them eventually.
SS: I think we should stop reading the log.
XF: Good idea.
*about two days later, on Cortheca*
XF: Well, were here.
SS: Good, now let's find something to eat, I'm starved.
XF: Agreed, I'm hungry too.
MG: I'm need appendagez...
SS: Hey XF, are you sure the restaurants are this way?
XF: Um, they were last time I was here.
SS: I don't know, I got a bad feeling about this... Don't you feel as if we're...
Mercenary: Surrounded?
