"yeah... sorry about that, Akio has had a bad history with humans...
But, that sucks that they never used many of them, seem like they would have worked well"

a moment of silence passes, before Akio Bursts into the room, making Maya jump in her chair.

"god, im sorry about that Tharix, they just haad to call me to host a meeting didnt they.
Anyway, im sorry about all that before, you just fainted! but i didnt want you to just be sat there
so i"

"Aki! im sure he realises what must have happened, but he said he wanted to speak to you.
so... Tharix? What was it you wanted to ask?"

Akio proceeded to sit down in the chair next to Maya.
He had put his usual attire away, instead wearing a shirt instead of his usual under cloak garments, but, still wears his probably quite uncomfortable combat trowsers, with some equiptment still in its attached belt.

"so... yes, what was it you wanted to speak to me about?"

"Akio, as you are an ex-member of Tie, and I'm..." he paused. "Not sure what I am anymore... I'd like to ask you... well, actually, now that I've found them, it might be easier to just show you." He hands him a few of the blueprints, and then says "I've designed all of these. What do I do. I don't want these to go to waste. I don't even know if I'm part of Tie anymore... I mean, if my own troops abandoned me..." He pauses. "D-don't get me wrong, I still feel some sort of loyalty towards Thrawn... but nobody ever really took these designs seriously, and when they did, they'd build one of them and call it done."

Suddenly, a strange noise comes out of the blue, and out of the blue, a blue Police Box. Out steps a strange man with a weird glowing screwdriver-looking device, and a blonde woman out with him.
“Doctor, where are we?” she asks.
“I’m not sure Rose, but from my readings, we are in a galaxy called the Cosmoteer Galaxy...and we just got caught up in a big war.”
“I think we should leave now, Doctor. I don’t like this place.”
“I don’t either. But, perhaps one day we could visit this place. It seems nice enough. Come on, Rose. Let’s get back to the Tardis. How’s about we meet back with our old friend Shakespeare, eh?”
“Sure. I thought up some new Sonnets he could publish. I got a really good one I created.”
“What’s it called?”
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”
“Already made. Sonnet 18. Pretty famous in fact. Though, it’s a little too...meh. Alright, enough dilly-dally. Let’s go.”
The Doctor and Rose step into the TARDIS. A sound emanates from the TARDIS, and, it soon fades into thin air. Perhaps we’ll see them again in the future...

the_guy545 OOF, that was good.

MaxwellCharlie
"huh... these are good.
well... i dont know really what to say...
my own people never did something like this to me, but...
well... as i said before, i wouldnt call people like that allies, ever!
how could they just leave you like that!"

"Aki, he doesnt share your hatred for traitors, dont force it on him"

"ah... sorry, the past stings sometimes.
But... what would you want from us? in a perfect situation? id call this a matter of fate that of all places to be stuck
its the place with my house on it, no?"

ImTired I actually really enjoyed creating that

the_guy545 You should seriously consider doing that more often.

"Nah, hes allowed to rant, I get it, and I don't mind." He looked at the blueprints again. "To be honest, I don't even know what I'm asking for. It just seems strange to not be constantly busy, or having my men yell at me, and I yell back at them... sigh Those were the days..." He paused again. "Actually... hang on..." He looked up at Akio again. "Is there any way that I might be able to..." He stopped. "I... no I can't..." He looked at the ground, then at Maya, then at Akio. "I... do you think that... your people... would accept me if I were to..." He paused again. "Join your cause? I mean, think about it. I have tons of blueprints here that Tie never used, nor are they likely to use... and I want to be able to show my skills with ship designing..."

MaxwellCharlie
"huh... well... i...
well, the others might not be that happy with a human around... but, you are not completely human, you know what, yes.... yes! this is it! this is the thing i tried to get to happen almost two months ago! get a human, or at least a non Tau to be in a position in the navy! or hell, diplomatic, ship design, anything! seriously, something like this could hopefully finally reunite Tau's with humanity again... well, although im suspicious of that idea, maybe... just maybe we can do this...

haha, anyway... that will be for the future, for now, you need to know that there are people more suspicious of humans than i, and its likeley that you wont be able to be... public so to speak, id have to start you out in some, say, shadow admiral, or shadow Ship designer, but, im sure as Tau's realise that you have helped them, you could easily sway public opinion.
So... what do you think?"

MaxwellCharlie
Maya, being the person she was, immidiately got up to see if he was ok,

"oh my! are you alright, that could have been bad!
you could have fallen over again, and i really dont want you fainting on us again!"

"oh im sure he is fine! well, look, Tharix, i really have no clue where you can stay other than here though,
I think you staying in one of the apartments will just get you killed... as said, others really dont like humans.
and that would really not be good at all would it!
you could stay here if you want, this house was built to have room for many, many people
as you have likeley noticed that by now.
Ill have some more permanent residence found for you, but as said
at the moment, it is more of a shadow role you will have to play,
This really isnt the time to go announce i let a Human do ship design for us."

Tharix
Totally forgetting that he almost tripped, he stared, catatonic, at the droid head. He snapped out of it half way through Akio's 'speech', however. "O-oh. You have a point there. I really don't want to be nuisance, and just... hang about. However..." He paused. "How quickly could you get..." He started, flipping through his blueprints, stopping on one of his designs, "...This, built." He held up a design for a small-medium sized ship.
"This would be a more open and hallowed out version I'd be requesting, because I'd be using it as a homestead."

MaxwellCharlie
"Hmm, i had not thought of making a ship for you actually...
Now i think of it, that might work...
Its been so long since ive lived in a ship, i forgot people still did that!
Well, ill have it equipped with our tech, to make it seem stolen...
Ill have to get Lance in on this. He is the only one i could trust to know."

"ha! that thing looks sweet, simillar size to the Illusion IV.
Maybe a bit smaller though, well! Even so, i can't say i designed my ship can I!"

"well, i suppose i better contact him now, before it gets too late in the day.
Exuse me for one moment."

Akio Proceeded to get up, and was about to leave the room, when he span around and spoke again.

"OH! could i borrow that blueprint, just so i can give him a idea of what it is."

Jenwuf
Tharix
Nervously, he handed the blueprint over. "Just be careful okay? These are all only copies." He picked up the droid head and turned it upside-down, inspecting the wiring. "Hmmm..." He stared taking apart the interrogation droid and began moving and adjusting the pieces to fit the R-4 unit's head. At one point, the head made a Boop-de-boop sound, but the sound died quickly and became distorted. It wasn't truly fixed yet. A few moments later, he looked at Maya and asked "Do you have any power outlets anywhere in here?"

MaxwellCharlie
"oh! of course there is!"

Maya Proceeded to get up and walk over to a small wooden panel near the door,
She lightly tapped it, and quickly the panel opened, revealing a room control panel of sorts.
After her pressing a few buttons on the controls, Tharix noticed a small, hole in the wall behind him,
Quickly a small Outlet emerged from said gap, and the Plaster like paneling, closed, actually revealing that the panels
Where made of many, many small square peices, that slotted together perfectly. Presumably, the result of many hundreds of years of Smart home technology.

"oh. you will have to find an adapter though, it might seem impressive, but really! after 2-300 years of this tech, we STILL havent made a universal plug socket."

Meanwhile, Akio was busy talking on the phone (yes, a house phone... Old fashioned tech at its finest)
To Lance, a top Engineer, in fact, responsible for many innovations on the very station Tharix is sat spinning in comfortably at around 1G.

Tharix
Tharix simply said "Lovely, thank you." And approached the outlet. He somehow managed to get one of the wires from the droid head plugged DIRECTLY into the thing, and moments later, it began booping and bopping. "HA! I made it work!" The head, still attached to it's mounting plate, spun around, looking for it's body, which, of course, it wouldn't find. "Let's see what your registration number is, shall we little guy?" Spoke he as he picked up the still booping head. "R4-F88" He read, as it was printed on the droid's mounting plate. "Well R4, I'll see what I can do in the future to get you up and running again!" He seemed happier than earlier, but there was still a small amount of sadness in his voice.

MaxwellCharlie
Maya was quick to notice the sadness still remnant in Tharix's voice
And questioned him on it.

"You alright?
You seem rather upset still..."

Although, before Tharix could awnser that question
Akio returned to the room.

"Good and bad news,
Good news, Lance can do this for you, Should have the hull done by tommorow, well, it will be done immidiately, but transporting it from The Factory department to the hangar will take a while.
Bad news, we dont have any of the TIE hardware to put on the thing, so, we will put some STE stuff on it instead.... Well, it isnt really bad news, just... Not going according to the plan in the blueprints.
Here, the blueprints are safe and sound!"

Akio puts the blueprints with Tharix's other belongings as he passes them, and sits back down.

Jenwuf
Tharix
"Oh, don't worry about that. As long as it works, all should be well." Stated he. He paused. "Hooold on a moment..." He flipped through his blueprints and found something quite interesting. "Right here!" He said, handing some blueprints to Akio. "You'r friend... Lance was it? Well, he'd probably find this, quite interesting." The blueprints showed MUCH smaller things, as compared to most of the others. It showed a light turbolaser, a laser turret, and, most importantly, a proton torpedo launcher. "This is Tie weaponry. I hope it helps you with the... Anhysbys is it called?" He paused. "I just thought of it when you said you don't have any TIE hardware."

MaxwellCharlie
"oh god dont even get me started on the Anhysbys, bloody kidnapped one of our guys in Sector 3, damn things are--"

His rant, went on for quite some time.

"rargh just why do they shoot at things like that..."

Maya just sighs deeply

"Right, anyway yes, that might be useful, thing is though, i doubt command will allow us to make them. but... small scale should be fine."

"As i said though before Aki decided to go on about the Anhysbys for the millionth time this week, are you alright? You still seem quite upset about this whole situation, i mean who wouldnt be? right?"
