ANH 'verse. The Death Star. Waiting . . . waiting . . .

[astrotechmech]

Random turns the swivel chair back and forth, back and forth. 'Lock the door,' they said! 'Hope they don't have blasters,' they said! Well, the door is locked, and the Astrotroopers certainly have blasters! It is just going be only a matter of time before they discover that fact and try to blast the door open!

On top of that it turns out Princess Arcee is here. In the detention block. Awaiting termination. Jetfire and Hot Shot are seeing if they can prevent that. Nobody else from the ship was listed in the computer's databanks though.

Random stops moving the chair like an irritated organic does its tail, sighs, and rubs his face, grieving the loss of his crewmates.

"Oh! I know where the bowls are." Kia perks a bit and goes to the right cupboard to get one.

Random looks after her, and after a moment follows her over to the cupboard.

She gets up on the counter and takes down a battered tin bowl, then holds it out for the bricks.

[astrotechmech]

Random watches her carefully, seeing that she gets on the counter safely. When she holds out the bowl, he places the bricks he is holding inside and then takes the bowl.

Kia gives him her little smile and then slips off the counter to go see if there are any more bricks left to pick up. She likes being busy.

[astrotechmech]

Random makes sure she gets off safely before moving back to where the rest of the bricks are and starts picking them up.

Beside him, Kia puts a couple more bricks in the bowl, and then takes one out as she remembers why they came in here to start with. She's really not hungry, but she would rather nibble on this tasteless stuff than make her mentor worry.

Random smiles his small smile when he sees her eating, puts the rest of the bricks in the bowl, and puts the bowl on one of the counters.
