Kiwi had an idea to use apart of her Father's old ship, that is practically a hang out spot for Kiwi currently and decoration to their Auto and body shop. The part she was wrestling with might be a good for an expanded GPS to go into the suit she was currently working on. She had some pliers in her mouth trying to disconnect a wire or two with some gloved fingers. The ship was hooked up with power she needed the lights from various point while this board was under the dash. " Come on." She was mixed trying to be gentle and firm with it and when she wedged the part out slightly some alarm started Blaring a high pitched frequency. It scared her and she slammed her head in the Dash. " FUCKING FUZZY!" She cursed. She slid out and came up to the dash and started pressing frantically to turn off the alarm systems. In another thirty seconds she was successful and with her heart pounding she slunk down into one of the couple of swiveling pilot chairs. She jumped again after hearing her phone go off to get a call from Dad. Quickly she answered it. " Sorry Dad! I triggered the alarm again, that is all... Yeah I am okay... I'll be careful... love you too." When she got off with him she thought a small ringing was still in her ears but quickly realizing that was not the case she checked one of the many scanners and things to see something on the radar. Green blips were flying near by... that was new... This is an old system but it is picking up some kind familiar connection. Were they headed this way? She paused for a moment and changed out of her normal jumper an into the one that would house her suit. It was black and looked a bit different from normal and at least she always wore her glasses.

"Well that's interesting."
Bana said as his sensors beeped to life, picking up a familiar energy sensor. Tuffle based technology. On this planet of all places. It was certainly more interesting than anything else on this rock could have to offer in the immediate time frame at least. He'd immediately change his course to head toward the energy signature. Eyes widening behind his helmet when they got close enough to identify it.
An old Tuffle ship?
If this didn't fall into his mission parameters to examine their technology on Earth he didn't know what would. He made a direct line for the ship, landing outside of it as his left hand swiped to the side. Summoning his holo computer in an attempt to hack into the doors.

"That's one way to put it." Interesting, yes. Very. If Berri didn't know better, she might have thought it was a fluke, but her suit's sensors wouldn't be able to mistake the spike with a familiar energy. Here, of all places? It was a pleasant surprise that held her attention as the Smoothie siblings approached.
Finding what set their sensors off was dozens of gifts in one go. She stopped mid-flight, taking in the old ship that was clearly of Tuffle make. Coming to this backwater planet suddenly had new meaning.
Her heart jumped in her chest as she followed after Bana, landing a short distance away and running scans for any outward sensors or triggers they would need to keep an eye on while he hacked away.

Kiwi jumped in her skin. They got here fast! She almost did not know what to do and reached for something she had close by but watching the door, There was some computer noises being made and she just would rather they not hacked into the system and opened the door holding up a now active Taser. Seeing two armored aliens just out her door really widened her eyes
"This is an on-contact shock inducer and you will stop what you are doing... right now!" She eyed them her Glasses recording whats going on and reading the energy they produced. Seemingly there were people beneath the suits... Not androids or anything worse thank goodness.

Bana's scanners continued pulling information from the ship, and now their new arrival with her little weapon. Hardly anything to worry about with the energy output it was producing. It was quaint really. Still, her vitals were interesting. The heart pattern and lack of natural Ki energy being put off by this one was far more interesting than the ship.
He'd motion toward Kiwi with his head for Berri to take note. Maybe her scanners picked up something different, he doubted it. But possible. But it seemed they'd found a Tuffle. Or a half breed at least.
"As one Tuffle to another, let me tell you. You don't want to go down that road."
He'd keep his body language none threatening, but a compartment on his right arm would shift over his palm as it reformed into what looked like a giant blaster. Though at the same time he'd swipe his left hand to deactivate his computer and cause his helmet to split open and retract away from his face to reveal himself to the alien.
"We're not here to fight."

So the ship still had a keeper. Good. Berri's scans took in the startled newcomer as they approached, smirking lightly beneath her helmet at the sight of the taser in hand. Did she really think that was going to work on them? It was a cute little night-light.
Her scanners ran over the goggle-wearer with a faint tilt of her head, interest piqued as the readings came back. Specifically, the what of the matter, though she did note the other signs of anxiety.
"Now, now. No need to shout." Her hand fell over her blade as she stretched, then let it fall back to her side with the weapon in its sheathe. Bana was better at the obvious assault, anyway. Her helmet released with the motion, opening and opening away from her face as it slid back. She glanced at her brother, expressing her interest as well as her amusement, then looked back to the stranger.
"I wouldn't, if I were you. That tends to get messy." She'd prefer to not have to fight this one right off. If the ship was interesting, this was a whole new puzzle to figure out and play with the pieces.

She dropped her taser as they practically were nulled. She rolled her eyes... THEN "Tuffle"
"Tuffle? You are Tuffle?" She was exclaiming in her head. "Oh fuzz..." she paced back from the door deeper into the ship and back out. Her mouth opened and she pointed a finger in the air but she did not know what to say and a little squeak came out. She thought she was prepared for a day like this. But now that it is here she is just dumbfounded and blank.
They also seemed a bit tense... like literal make a wrong move and someone will end up dead. Judging by their own suits it would certainly be Kiwi with her basic mix of Earth and Tuffle tech. She clenched her jaw shut and shook her head. "Ah... the alarm..." she paused trying to scrape words together. "Listen please and understand... I've never met my Father's people before. Honestly, I don't know if it is so good that we are meeting at all. I know only so much about the Empire... What is your mission objective? Depending on your answer will define how we approach one another from this point forward." She placed both hands on each side of the ship's entrance.

Bana would step forward, the ranking officer here between him and his sister. And if what she said was any indication their scans were right, she was part Tuffle and her Father was full Tuffle. Though being here with a halfbreed and a ship didn't bode well. A deserter he'd wager.
"We have no primary objective at the moment. Simply scouting and information gathering."
That was all he'd say on the matter. Offering her a warm but practiced smile. Hoping to put her somewhat at ease.
"May I ask how old you are?"

Normally Berri was the one for talking, but she let her brother take charge as ranking officer since this girl is already asking about mission perimeters. Her lips quirked in a smile as she gave a hint of a nod. Tuffle tech on a backwater planet and a halfbreed. She listened to her brother gathering info his way and instead glanced at the Tuffle ship, looking for any signs of any indicators of its age by the design. Their technology had changed throughout the years; certain things could show them if the girl's story matched.
She offered a smile of her own, a friendly expression with a slight bob of a nod that seemed warmer than the sitaution required, the motion as flawless and second nature as breathing. It was still up in the air if this girl would be one to keep their responses positive, and she seemed to know it.

Ah he was flashing a sales men grin and she rolled her eyes and pursed her lips together over to one side. "I'm 18." she answered. "Then if you have no primary mission it would mean you are just scouting about." She removed herself from the door. "Fine, the name is Kiwi Seeds... If you need to recharge anything I have a couple of charging stations for say your weapons, communicators, or whatever... I have an adapter for it."
She was not even sure if the new truffle tech actually needed for charging in this day an age but what ever it was she had it. They would be welcomed with plenty of alien decorations and a lava lamp or two. There would be some wires hanging loose and panels missing as she had gutted some useful parts of the ship.

He resisted the urge to type in her last name into his holo computer along with the age to find who her parents were. Mostly because his helmet was off so that would be too obvious.
He did smirk at her offer, kind as it was. But far from needed. "That won't be necessary, our suits have self sustaining power sources. We have advanced far in the last two decades..." He'd say as he looked around, lips pressed together in displeasure at not just the aesthetic but the fact that he could see the ship had been scavenged from.
Not ideal....

"Well be fine," she advised Kiwi with the same smile, looking away from the ship when she was talking. She was so proud of her big brother, doing the talking thing.
Her eyes kept going back to ship, nostrils flaring slightly at the atrocious bursts of color and general feel of the ship. It would need work to get it functional again, and would probably be forever tainted by...all of this.
"So you did all of this yourself?" Totally not judging. Not at all. Her face was straight but there was a flicker in her voice. She was dying inside. Poor baby. It needed some serious love.

"Self sustaining? Doesn't that get hot? I mean as far as I can see I suppose it doesn't" She tapped her glasses coming closer to the two to check out their suits. "Still this is even more alien to me than I can see. The fusion cores that are on my ship are all but dry and are far beyond what I've been able to fix with Earth tech... Still it seems you have begun to sacrifice safety with efficiency? If something goes wrong you have to seriously stop what you are doing and can cause some self destructive damage..." realized what she said and decided to see that she would not have her words taken the wrong way.
"I mean not that you should take offense to that it is way more impressive and I am sure has more to offer than my own suit. Also I am working on a helmet but until then I've been using these safety glasses... That is what I was actually working on before you showed up," she retreated to the dash board and crawled under it again to wiggle the part she needed out, except this time she brought a pair of wire cutters to snip the alarm cord attached to it. "Um.. Yes? All my work... Just a secondI need the navigation memory in the ship, not only will I have a GPS of the world but of many vast parts of the Galaxy... maybe it is out dated after so many years but it is still a head start in my book." Obviously Berri was talking about her helmet and the tech she al ready created her self with what she could make of Earth technology. If successfully pulled out the GPS she would take it over to the work station on the left where a helmet frame was being worked on and plug the connection together and start downloading the information.

"The heat is managed with a self cooling system. And the increased risk is nominal when compared to the enhanced function."
They were at war and that meant soldiers lives were at risk. It was no different than that in his book. What was something for concern was the way she was just dismantlement the ship like it was no big deal! He couldn't hide the look of horror from his features as she ripped out a chip from the ship.
"How much damage have you done to this ship!?"
His voice was almost accusing in it's horrified tone.
