Tec walked along the corridors of TSS's headquarters on Delph, seeking out companionship.

He almost went to Jade, but she was on vacation at the moment, so he couldn't do that. Cairo and Jai were busy, as always, and Owen he hadn't seen yet.

Maybe I can find Raven somewhere he thought to himself, and then remembered the bad terms he was on with Trevelan, and decided against it.

"Damit, isn't there somebody I can talk to?!"

"...damn ISDs....they will <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> never<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> be finished....."

Owen was concentrating so hard on his datapad that he nearly slammed into Tec.

"Oh!. Sorry my friend, I didn't see you there"

Tec steadied himself as his sight focused.

"Oh, 's ok. I needed someone to talk to anyways. Care to chat over something to drink or eat? I forgot breakfast cause I was too bored when I got up."

Owen reached out with his minimal Force abilities.But Tec was unreadable.

"Certainly. I haven't had a meal in almost two days. Jai wants her ships done, and when Jai wants something done, she makes it known. Anyway, let's go eat"

Just as Tec and, Owen went to get something to eat.Tex walked down the hall in quest of nourishment himself.<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> italic When is the last time I ate?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> Tex asked,himself. Not being able to recall. And the fact that his stomach was making sounds like he had heard when smuggling missions had gone wrong and, guns started going off.Tex decided it was way past time for a refuel. Once Tex entered TSS's dining hall, he ordered his food,and started glancing around the room a place to sit. Tex noticed right off the extra seat at Tec and, Owens table. Tex walked over to the table " Hey guys do you mind if I sit here?" Tex asked

Tec smiled at Tex as he bit into his food.

"No, we don't mind at all. Besides, don't we have a game of sabacc to play?"

Tex laughed, "Yes we do." And guess what I have?" Tex said,as he set his food aside apitight suddenly gone at the aspect of making money. With that Tex pulled out a deck of sabbac cards. " Ok gentlemen are, you ready to lose some cash. "Whose gonna deal first." Tex said placing the cards in the middle of the table.

Owen smirked and looked at Tec. He gave him a look that said <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> oh god<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> as he chewed on his pastry.

He sat back and looked at Tex.

"Not me, why don't you deal, Tex"

"Ok guys here we go." Tex said with a laugh. " But I worn you both I have done this before." Tex smiled as the cards started to fly from the deck like the wind. "I played this game with a Sith Lord once and, won my freedom." Tex said as the cards were flying off his finger tips."So don't ever let anyone tell ya gambling is a fool man's game boys." "Sometimes gambling is the only thing standing between you and, death." " Or at least that's what this old smuggler once told me." Tex said with a laugh as he looked over his cards at the two men
