Luke, a tall golden droid, and the Ewok chief Chirpa, were waiting for the volunteers when the portal finally deposited everyone on Endor. "Welcome," Luke said, giving them all a smile, "and thank you in advance for your help."

He gestured to the Ewok. "This is Chief Chirpa, the leader of Bright Tree Village, where we'll be staying for the next few days." Chirpa bowed to them, then spoke a few words. The droid shuffled forward to translate. "Chief Chirpa welcomes you to Endor," he said, words coming out pinched and precise, "and requests that you make yourself at home. If there is anything he or his warriors can do while you are assisting their neighbors, please let him know."

There was a brief conversation between Threepio and the Chief. "Or tell me and I will convey it," Threepio said. "I am C-3PO, human cyborg relations, and will be serving as translator for you during your stay here. Do watch out for the bugs, and the large drops, and the variety of creatures found in the forest..."

Luke shook his head at him and Threepio stopped speaking. "He worries a little too much," he explained with an easy smile. "If you'll follow me, you can drop off your stuff in the visitors' quarters and we can get started building some huts."

"Sorta. You look the type who needs something to stun, not kill," Ronon replied. "Stunnin' people never gets old."

"I've never done either," she admitted. "Though I also have a taser I never use. It did always look kind of fun."

"You and me should hit up the gun range sometime," Ronon suggested. "Maybe we can tase the mayor guy for fun." His smile should indicate that was supposed to be a joke.

Pepper actually laughed. "Do you not like him?"

"Don't really know'm," Ronon shrugged. "Asked a lotta questions, though."

She made a little face, though to be honest, asking questions was often her job, too. "But yeah, if you want to go to the range sometime, I'd love to. As long as you don't let me shoot myself in the foot."

"You shoot yourself in the foot and you won't be worrying about your Louis Vuitton," Ronon grunted.

"And that would be very sad," Pepper said, looking down at her lovely shoes. "I'll wear shoes that make me short, just to put your stiletto-doubting mind at ease."

'Short' was still pretty darn tall. But losing three to four inches of your normal height would do that to a person.
