A Jackal, a Slug and a Mosquito Walk into a Bar... [EN0]

Postby Rekto the Hutt » Wed May 30, 2018 3:00 pm

Not really, but better to get the joke out early.

Rekto was more used to hyperspace boredom than your average Hutt but even he was getting impatient, wondering if he had made the right call to travel on this particular ship. Felt like a good call initially.

Watering mouth with a fresh gush of enzymes, he slithered toward the hyperspace comms of the ship and contacted the battle cruiser on some general ship call centre.

"This is Rekto Vanderijar Qunre. I've joined your Bankor troop, and on the way there on a Jedi ship. Be grateful and cooperative. I expect to be contacted with the best weapons tinkerer you have there."


But since he chose to speak only in Huttese, what they heard was:

"Tah doth Rekto Vanderijar Qunre. Jee gee pineu mee Bankor bacota, an dah bu heee heee dah wa Jeedai pankpa. Doth sonpace an panchakunka. Jee bakanu bai doth pankoph cay bu yuna rulya lootawunka uba gee heee."

Incidental music played as the Hutt waited for his call to be transferred. His call was important to the Republic, whose operators were busy right now. Eventually the sounds of a busy hanger deck could be heard.

"...no no. That's a school yard error. Look, if you tighten these bolts too much this whole piece will shear off when the pilot does something stupid."

A garbled but questioning voice could be heard in the background.

"This is a Spitfire, they are fighter pilots, of course they'll try something stupid. Look do it like this."

There was a metallic sound and more garbled questions.

"What's what flashing? Huh? Oh, the comm. This is Specialist Devaroo, what's the nature of your problem?"

The Hutt's patience had been mostly depleted by the time he finally got the right specialist on the other side.

"I am Rekto the Hutt, a great warrior bringing back the glory of the ancient Hutts forth for lesser beings to tremble and cower." He started haughtily. "I wield ancestral weapon of the Vanderijar. I want it adjusted, sharpened so it won't chip and better fit my hand so that I can behead and cleave as an afterthought. I need a specialist to handle it. Are you one?"

But since he spoke in Huttese it sounded like this:

"Dobra Rekto bu Yih, wa lhonu keueketka mapanbipa bu luaha dee bankepie Yih che koumi dotkola bai hhaca an daien. Jee konhasa kougine rulya dee Vanderijar. Jee banag fa baucayiy, bapheu hee fa nah duoka an cua dan bakopa bai mah kon hee da Meecooda banpomesa an wanba peee ba catke cohka canta. Jee dayan wa bmaleouetka bai hanei fa. Doth uba bo?"

There was more of the garbled voice in the background. "You're gonna need a 14F for that job. No. That's a 16C. No. No. Where did you do your training? Yes, that one. Now try not to let the engine fall out."

A small sigh and some muttering was accompanied by the sound of a welding torch. "Sorry, you were saying something about how much you appreciate how busy I am?"

"I do not appreciate it at all. This borders disrespect. You are a technician, so mend your ways and make time to respond properly." Rekto grumbled in Huttese.

Bee boo beep. Thank you for holding. Your call is important to us. The person you are calling knows you are waiting. Please continue to hold.


The smooth voice of the call waiting droid continued to repeat the message in between bouts of awful music. After the third repeat there was a crackle and the muffled hanger bay sounded further away.

"Let's get something straight here pal. You cold call asking for a specialist the night before an operation goes down and expect, what exactly? You want your ancestral weapon fixed so it won't get chipped? What's it made out of, flint? You're talking to a military engineering specialist, not some cut rate, black market, Hutt-worshipping, Nar Shaddaa fly-by-night technician."

The was a pause and a world weary sigh. "All that said, these flyboys don't give us any freaking respect either. So give me the elevator pitch: 60 seconds, why I should care?"

Leaving Clef and Carol to handle flying the Staccato until the meet up with the Republic Battleship, Hamelin goes to check on the passengers. He walks over to the Hyperspace Comm room.

Seeing the Hutt already on a call he looks around to make sure everything is peachy.

<rekt ti chirt cheg cheep cheep> He looks over to the holocom operator.

"If you do assist me in this, you'll be on my good side. If I appreciate your work, I'll open resources for whatever else you're tinkering with, once I cut my way through opposition to my grab of them on that funny planet. I want this assistance after the touchdown, not before." Rekto said in even tone. He then gestured to the Gand that he needed a moment to finish the conversation. In Huttese, his words sounded like: "Whao uba woy yauma mi du tah, cheespa dah mah dan wuona. Whao Jee uoh mee joday, Jee hatkocanh kouwahe wanka mee che pee bagn baua uba doth woy, bonee wagan Jee hhonoo mah heee hhe pankhobacaka-oba bai mah pomka see hoohah dah da mebenbe planeeto.

Rekara walked in, she was carrying a panel as she closed in to the ship's captain. "This world is such a wonder." She was saying to herself as she reached the crew, "The native life of Bankor is like I have not seen before. I wonder why these creatures grew four eyes instead of the usual two. It could be something related to why the Gran have three eyes as well." She lifted her head from the panel. "I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?"

The wolf listened. Faint sounds of welding could be heard in the background.

"Yeah okay, that's more like it. Call me when we're planetside and I'll see what I can do. Got to beat patching up these crotchrockets for ungrateful flyboys."

There was the definite sense of an implied shrug.

"Await my call." Rekto uttered quickly. " Bakanu mah naa." And disconnected.

Turning to the Jedi, he scrutinised them with moderate interest, his tongue flapping at the inner rims of his maw. Seeing the ichtian made him think of sushi-like things.

"You mean you're not going to fight but study lifeforms, Jedi?" In Huttese: "Uba besnewa uba doth tee meeto toe dokoi um bkiba nem wahca, Jeedai?"

Hamelin looks over to the other Jedi.

<Chick birt simba zule keta lum chu klat> He is glad that he at least caught the names of his passengers.
"Are you some sort of researcher as well Rekara?"

Having forgotten that the Hutt only speaks Huttese. He pulls out his datapad and types in a message to translate to the Hutt. He sends the same message in Basic to Rekara as well to be polite and not exclude her from the conversation.

I hope you are not having too much trouble Rekto.
I hate those call centre format for customer support.

The Hutt laughed at the Gand's sense of humour.

"I'll get what I want anyway. But I approve of moving tech jobs to the Hutt Space." In Huttese: " Jee hatkocanh yoieu haku Jee banag bap heee. Um Jee bamhaw see yatuka kakeeth hotpaka bai bu Yih Bmola." Rekto grinned. "Good you haven't forgotten where you come from. The Core will always misunderstand the Rim."

Then they complain that we take their jobs.

Mostly to bring the blessings of power and wealth on myself. But don't mind killing Mandos in the process. Rekto replied with cynical honesty.

Hamelin follows up.

Power and wealth are common motivators. Especially with Hutts.

"I am Jedi and protect those in danger from oppression and harm, but not only that, but I am a doctor, and so I have a special interest in xenology." The Mon Calamari set the datapad away, "Not only that, but my planet is new in the galaxy, we have been recently found, although our civilization is old. It is my duty to my people to learn as much as I can and to aide them in uniting to the Universe. Don't you think?"

Rekara had studied many of the Republic languages, yet the Huttesse was not one that she had thought would be of use, not since this was the first one she had come close to.

The Cala took a look at the datapad of the Hutt, and gave a look at him in wonder of his interests. She took her own and typed on it so that the Hutt could read.

"My planet is one rich in seafood, since we are a world of water exclusively. We show great passion for art, as well as for culture and science."

There was not much that the planet could offer to the galaxy other than their rich diversity of seafood. Their technology was water based, as they had not yet reached any other system or settled any other planet. Last she knew they were studying the technology to do so.

Seafood sounds pretty nice.
Refer to my previous comment about the Gand.
Though I can tell you that our atmosphere is mainly ammonia which is toxic to every other race that I have encountered so far.
