Joshua met Mulk and Zana outside the entrance to Peenk's pool house. Mulk was without his usual Beskargam. Instead, he wore a simple outfit, his lightsaber hanging from his belt. And in place of his normally clean shaven head, he now sported a mohawk. Next to Mulk stood his wife Zana. Zana was taller, and in armor. At her sides were two rather deadly looking blasters. She grinned and said something in Mazuran. Mulk laughed and replied in the same tongue, nodding. "Ok." Joshua told the two. "I couldn't find a language program for Mazuran. So let's keep all talk about me to Basic, shall we?" "You will not find a Mazuran language program, Joshua." Mulk said. "There's never been much demand for one, and we like to keep our mother tongue a secret." "Just like you people with your Latin." Peenk said as she jabbed him in the ribs with he elbow. "Any one can learn Latin." Joshua shot back. "At one time it was the most widely spoken language on Earth." "What ever." "Joshua." Mulk held a hand up to his wife."I want to introduce you to my wife, Zana, the mother of our forty eight children." "Forty eight?" Joshua nodded with approval at this number. "Not bad, not bad." "Well, I'd love to talk about having kids." Peenk said, though it was clear that was the last thing she wanted to talk about. "But I want to know why you're suited up for a fight Zana." "We found the lab." The tall Mazuran said. "Merrik told his superiors about it. But he'd have to wait for approval before he could send anyone. Doon told us it would take about two, maybe three days. So he made a call to Stefan, and he had a couple squads down there in half an hour." "And they found that it was guarded by battle droids." Mulk continued. "The locals said that after the Empire left Coruscant, they tried to enter it to see what was inside. Everyone who entered was never seen again." "They then told Stefan that a group of Mandalorians from the Aliit Bessa arrived and brought several large pieces of equipment with them. That was three weeks ago. One week later a small Human male and a droid arrived and the boys from Bessa left. But the droids were still there. That was the last time there was any activity." "Looks like it's time for you to gear up boy." Peenk whispered in his ear. "I can see you're itching to find Zell. I went shopping at Merzer's yesterday and bought you some new gear. I think you'll like it. And I can't wait to see you in it." "Well I can't let you down. I'll get ready." Joshua grinned. "I'll have a couple of my friends from Excalibur come along. My cousin Ami and my friend Mark Berring both have commando training. They're both at Merzer's with Melee, buying some gear." "Your cousin was a commando as well?" The blonde asked. "No. She withdrew from special forces. She was ready to graduate from training when I was found. Her mother had a long talk with her, and she returned to the fleet." Joshua slowly shook his head. "Her family was badly hit in the war." "Will they get in trouble helping us?" Zana asked. "NO. Especially since we'll only be going up against droids. Besides, it's a rescue mission." Yeah, I redid Mulk, using Freak 4. Now I can actually dress the guy up in some of the clothes I have.
