Thanks for all the replies everyone. Xin stared at her brother as he floated in the isolation chamber. With a shake of her head, she turned to Pok. "I was told that he was basically going to be a clone of our father," She said in a confused tone. The doctor nodded, reading from the life support monitor. "Well, then why does he have hair?" "Didn't your father have any?" Pok asked, turning away from the console he was working at. "No," Xin then called her sisters over their links. "Melee, Ano? Did our father have hair?" "No!" Melee said with a definite tone. "Of course not!" "Yes he did," Ano cut in. "What do you mean, yes he did?" Melee demanded. "I knew him just as long as you, and he had no hair!" "He did. He just hid the fact because everyone knew he was half Ratataki, and expected him to be hairless, so he made himself hairless. That way, he said, if things went bad, he only had to lay low a few weeks and grow it out. Then, when he came out of hiding, no one would recognize him." "And how long have you known this?" Xin now the one demanding an answer from Ano. "Since I was thirteen. It was when I broke both my legs in that tumbling accident in gym class. I was stuck at home for a few days. Well, one day, our father comes home from the store with a bag full of goodies for an ailing daughter. As soon as he stepped through the door, it tore open. And among all my junk was a bottle of depilatory lotion. He made me promise not to tell anyone." "Oh, well I'm glad to find this out now," Melee said. "What color is it anyway, Xin?" "Brother's got him some red hair." Baby pushed her way past the others and crept over to the steps that lead up to the platform the tank sat in. Placing her hand on the transparisteel, she began to shake. Turning around, she leaned against the box and began to cry. "Is this why they call you Baby?" Gath Pok asked contemptuously. "Stop acting like a child." "You know what?" Baby scowled at the doctor. "You can be a cruel bastard." "Hey, that's me!" He shot back with a smile. "Screw you! And stop that tapping!" She shouted angrily. "Ah," The doctor just grinned and spread his hands. "I'm not the one tapping." The Twi'lek spun about and found herself staring into Zell's blue eyes. "I woke him up," He told the Twi'lek with a chuckle. "He's done cooking. You can take him home. He's all your's now." "Then he's ok?" "Sure," Pok replied. "Now I need to ask MU-SO 2 a question." "Yes, Dr Pok?" The droid asked from across the room. "Where did you learn to regrow eyes?" Baby and Xin reacted with shock when they realized that Zell had real eyes. "Before Excalibur disappeared, Major Kirk connected me to her medical computer, allowing me to download it's library." "Smart boy," Pok said to himself before turning to Baby. "He has a subcutaneous interface like you. I want you to give him the learning program Joshua gave to each of you. Then give him this," Pok tossed a one piece bodysuit and a pair of boots at her. "We don't want him running around naked." "Speak for yourself!" Baby said staring at Zell's new body. Looking back up into his eyes she smiled. "Xin?" "Yeah?" "I can see why your mother fell in love with your father the first instant she saw him. He was hot!" Zell smiled at this, causing the red skinned beauty to go weak in the knees. Xin shook her head and left, grinning. Pok hit the control that opened the isolation chamber. "You can come out once the program has taught you how to use that new body of your's. Understand?" "Yes, Dr Pok," Zell said in a deep voice that made Baby feel giddy. Denise Williamson stood talking to Joshua and Marko as the troop carrier lifted, taking the prisoners topside so they could be handed over to the Coruscant Security Forces. "We sent holos of all those goons to the cops, and two of them are wanted by SecFor," Marko Bessa glanced at a data pad he held in his hand. "One's wanted for kidnapping. He was already tried in absentia, so he's on his way to prison. The other though, is wanted for selling Mind Blow. That's still a capitol offense here. Just as it was for the Empire, and the Old Republic as well." "Yeah, well let's hope he's executed if he's guilty then," Denise said angrily. "That is some very bad stuff." "Yes, even large organizations like Black Sun refused to have anything to do with it," Marko told them. "But that's probably for no other reason than you can seldom sell the stuff more than once to someone. And they are all about profit." "So, ah, are they still watching us, Josh?" The doctor asked. "Yeah," Joshua nodded. "Two in the building across the street. Two in the building next to that. And of course the girl that Karyn told us about, and her very large friend. They're watching from that old wrecked LAAT/I over there." "They're just waiting for us to leave," Marko said. "They're going to take this place over as soon as we get out of here. And here the gang comes now." Xin and Melee ran out, followed by Zell who now carried Baby on his back, and finally, Mulk, Zana, and Gath Pok who carried a bag. "What's in the bag?" Joshua asked as he glanced over Denice's shoulder. "All the hard drives that were used to create Gigantor here," Pok jerked his head in Zell's direction. "I'm going to melt them." "Here you go doc!" Marko said as he pulled something off his belt. "It's a special flamer. Designed to create big ass fires." The Nirilese took the weapon and threw the bag on the permacrete and switched the flamer on. For half a minute he held the flame to the bag. Finally it sputtered and died. The hard drives now reduced to a puddle of melted plastic and metal. "It breaks my heart to destroy what was on those," He said sadly. "It could have helped your people, Joshua, Denise." "Doc Pok I have it all up here," Kirk said as he tapped the side of his head before turning to the tall redhead. "And nobody, no matter how good they are with computers, can get to it." Melee and Baby pushed Zell out of the way and forced Joshua about so the Twi'lek could see his wound. "Let's get you to the hospital now!" Xin said when she saw the burns. "And don't you dare tell me I can't go!" Joshua Kirk nodded and lead the others up the ramp of the transport. Baby though, spun about and placed her hand on Zell's chest and shoved him back. "You are going right home to our place at Peenk's. There you will wait for me to get home. We are going to have a very long talk," She then turned around and stormed up the ramp. Zell gave Joshua a dejected look. "Don't look at me!" He told him in a stern voice. "We're having a talk in the morning!" Melee pulled him up the ramp as the carrier began to lift. "Boy," Marko said. "You are in some kind of trouble. Now let's get out of here," Pausing for a moment, he continued. "Peenk's waiting for you to get back, and she's pissed, too." "Why is she angry?" Zell asked in frustration. "Are you that dense?" Marko spun about and stepped up to the red haired giant. "The girl saw what Baby and your sisters went through when they were on that ship, waiting for word on you," He then tapped a finger to Zell's temple angrily. "Maybe it's never occured to that incredible brain of your's, but Peenk has become very fond of those three girls! Even more so since she found out that you and your sisters are part of Ro's family." "Sorry," Zell Orrinie said sarcastically. "But I just could't live like that anymore! Being so fucking weak and brittle. So when I saw the chance to rectify that situation, I took it!" "So you were small," Marko began, but the taller man jumped in his face. "No!" He shouted in frustration again. "It's more than just being small. I was weak! It took all the strength I had to just carry my computer gear in a bag!" "I didn't know it was that bad," The clone muttered, awkwardly. "It was. And my bones just made my life worse!" Zell thought for a moment and crossed his arms. "Have you ever seen the medical scan they took of Joshua when he first arrived on the Runner?" "Yeah," The older man nodded. "Yeah. We were shocked at the kind of punishment that kid's bones had taken." "Well, mine are in worse condition," He said in a low voice. "I'd stumble and fall and break bones." After the carrier was full, Marko turned to the wreckage of the LAAT/I and saluted. He then ran up the ramp and sat across from the lone Orrinie male and strapped himself into his seat as the ramp closed and the craft lifted. "Hell," Zell, now staring at the deck smiled slightly. "The first night Baby and I made love, she crushed my hips." "Say again?" Marko said, choking back a laugh. "He said that Baby crushed his hips!" Sanva Vishula cut in as she punched Marko lightly on the arm before grinning at the redhead seated across from her. "That's how good Baby said he is." "She's told you about that?" Zell blushed as he turned to Sanva. "Zell!" Rosch Kellou blurted out happily. "That girl is telling everyone that will listen!" "Why do you think we girls treat you with such awe and respect?" Sanva said with a smirk. "We truly respect a man that sees to his partners needs first. Just like Marko here." "well what can we say?" Marko said with a grin. "We are good." "Yep!" Zell said as he sat back and smiled. "Like damned kids!" Rosch grumbled as they were pressed into their seats as the crafted lifted. "Yeah, but that's what I love about such men," Sanva sat back and smiled whistfully. "How they can be boys sometimes. Those tend to be the more adventurous ones in bed." "I find that to be true, as well," Marko said as he put his hand on Sanva's knee. After a couple seconds, she placed hers over his and leaned over and kissed him. "And they don't get more adventurous than you," She said after she pulled away. "That's one of the reasons why I love you." As the carrier was lifting off, dozens of armed men and women ran from the building across the street and entered the tunnel. Rango Bosta stood with the girl that was leading them in their fight to bring normalcy back to this area. She, though, was inspecting the droids. "I want Dansaa to gather all the droid parts and see how many she can get up and running. Especially the droidekas. Also, have her bring that excavation droid she built. I want at least two other exits to this place." "You got it, girl!" He said in his deep voice. "Hey boss!" A voice came over her comlink. "That kid that moved in here is gone. We found his clothes, but he's not here. We even found a bunch of hair. Blonde and red." "Hair?" She asked confused. "Yeah, hair." "Well, keep looking for him." "Girl, we need to talk," Rango said as he crossed his arms. "About what?" "That tall redheaded boy that came out with them," He said as he bent down to stare her in the eye. "Did you see him go in with them?" "No," She said before a confused look crossed her face. "No I didn't! This is getting strange!"
