Early in the morning, Luke yawned and stretched, only to be greeted by a queezy feeling in his stomach and a splitting headache. He groaned and wished all kinds of deaths on the hangover making his life miserable at the moment. He could not really remember what had happened after his little outburst, only that Tav continued to try and make moves on him and Azaria had jumped up and moved off to the Force knew where, anything happening after that was a big blur.

As he tried to will away the headache, he felt something else, shapely, soft, warm and...was that a nipple? Groggily he opened one eye, his eyelids protesting heavily against the movement. There was something of a blueish blur and as his vision cleared the blue blur changed into Tav... Sleeping. Cradled in his arms.

Naked.

His other eye opened, both pupils dilated. His heart skipped a beat. His breathing stopped. His hangover completely forgotten.

"Oh Sithspit!" He said and jumped out of the bed. Just as that moment his hangover returned in all intensity and fall back down on the bed, on her, groaning in hangover-agony.

Docking at Starforge Station in 15 minutes, the intercom blared through his room

Boomer downed a small pill she kept for just such occasions; throbbing head full of Corellian Whiskey and possibilities. It was about the only time she was NOT considering the mass to volume ratio of a small landspeeder and how best to take out the person while leaving the vehicle (and more importantly) the driver fully and completely intact. Where everyone had gotten to was none of her concern, she had watched people wander off to do what well... people would do.

As her mind cleared and the throb at the back of her skull slowly subsided, she rubbed her neck slowly and thought of all of the things she could do with a great deal of money. Munitions, she thought, and a small smile creeped up the sides of her mouth. Ordinance of all shapes and sizes... whenever might they be able to determine how much their cuts might be? Or if they were going to take out a fair chunk of the buyers or the middle men, or both. She sighed deeply and considered the best possible locations for the remaining explosives to be placed in case they decided to go that way.

'It never hurt to be prepared,' she thought, snapping her pill case shut with a snap. Perhaps it was time to get dressed and have a bit of breakfast. Casually looking at the chrono, she chuckled to herself. That would be lunch...

Jarion didn't wake up, not really, but he did become uncomfortably aware of the progenitor of all hangovers that had taken up residence in his organic bits. At this point he would have crawled out of bed, had the bed not been several meters away from his current location, face first on the floor mere inches from the door.

He moved toward the closet in a barely human series of muscular twitches and lurches. Inside the closet was a box he had scavenged from the lower decks, and inside the box was equally scavenged salvation.

Jarion dumped the box out unceremoniously and grabbed a small cylindrical object with one hand, and with the other he ripped a similar object from his own abdomen. He cast the expended module aside and with surprisingly steady hands implanted the fresh one.

He sighed loudly as the misery began to fade; the new filter expertly extracting the toxins from his system far better than the frail organic liver it had replaced. In less than an hour, Jarion was back to full functionality.

"Hey." He called over the intercom, "Have we docked yet?"

As he waited for a reply he began reviewing the digital record of all the events his organic brain couldn't quite recall.
