So, after getting back to the EbonHawk from meeting with the Jedi guy on Onderon, I encountered a glitch where no one was doing their usual stuff on board. They were all in slightly different spots on the ship, and were just standing there instead of doing their usual 'on the ship animations.' (edited for being a sieve-brain).
For example, Bao-Dur was standing right by the workbench. And running down the hallway, I noticed that Atton was standing, apparently tired and grumpy from having to stay behind to fix the ship.
So I tickled him...which appeared to annoy him a little bit at first but then he got into the spirit and tried to tickle me back. :D
When I left the ship and re-entered it all went back to normal. But I have a save game of it that loads the error back up. Heh.
