@ Ves Kira
You had first met Ruben when you had tracked down the origin of your ancient amulet. You had reached an agreement, where you would help with finding and recovering the relics for a fair share of what you found.
Ruben however, never trusted you with the navdata that would lead to the planet. Or perhaps there was something fishy going on with his ship...as not even the Hutts had managed to recover the secret of theunknown planet from it's navcomputer. Luckily you had managed getting captured by the Hutts back then...but the last years haven't been very fun, with both the Empire and the Hutts after you. Of course, access to that mysterious planet was also gone.
You heard the news that Ruben had managed to steal his old ship. You know what this means. He would without a doubt start his usual work again. But it isn't like you can call him and ask him to join back...or to fly to that planet.
There are few ways however to reach him you can think of, based on your previous experience working with him.
You could try and stay close to some of his contacts that he sold his artifacts through. Without a doubt he will have to contact them if he plans to start his business again. Those contacts, rich merchants and nobles, weren't something you had bothered with in the past. It was a good thing because they wouldn't be able to sell you to those who were after you...but on the other hand it was a bad thing, because they wouldn't be easy to stay close to.
You could also try and make contact with those 'Black Snake' pirates. At the start they were just causing trouble for you, but Ruben cut a deal with them, and used them as a means of protection. Eventually Ruben will have to 'renew' his deal with them, probably. The problem would be that finding the pirates is not hard...persuading them to help you, would be harder. And their leader was a pervert, from what you have heard.
Finally, perhaps you could make yourself known, and let him find you. But that would bring others to you, too...
Or perhaps there are less obvious options too. But the most important problem, was that a couple of days ago, the Wheel had been taken over by the Imperials.
Luckily they seemed content with just controlling the station, rather than purging all the criminals out of it...but sadly, a group of those criminals saw fit to steal your vessel and make a run with it. And then they got blasted into smithereens by the Empire, like the idiots they were. Along with your ship. At least it wasn't you. You were totally not planning to do the same, if you were faster.
Still, you now have to find a way out. Either go along someone else as a passenger...or steal one.
[Feel free to write a few things about yourself, what you were doing/how you found yourself at the Wheel, and what you plan to do next.]
@ Sarai, Taken
After a call, Ruben would come to pick up Taken and Sarai, with the portable mining platform.
"Are you two...wait, how can you even get pregnant so fast?" he asked Taken, somewhat taken aback
"It was just a couple of days you were missing...!"
"Sarai, you are still up to the latest fashion I see. That belt really suits you." he nodded.
"In the meanwhile, we managed to find a few old stuff from the ruins." he said, leading them towards the dining room
"We are packaging them now."
There was a mess inside the dining room. A couple of small sculptures, a broken arrowhead, some things that looked like rocks, and a couple of jugs were spread over the table, and Hel was taking pictures of them. Rita was then wrapping them up, and spraying them with some foamy thing that would solidify moments later, making them look like odd balls.
"Makes finding them with scans harder." Ruben explained, drawing the attention of the others.
"...." Hel looked over, speechless
"...did you contract a disease that makes your belly bigger?" she finally tried to guess.
"Perhaps it is time for a break?" Ruben offered
"We have all the time in the world, untill your sisters come back."
"With my ship." he added, after a moment.
@ Taken
After leaving the temple, you had some odd feeling. As if you were not alone. (roll a Use the Force check!)
