"What's that guys name again? Let me see if security will let him speak with me. Who knows he might be happy if Nym's gone."
I have no idea what his name was. Let it pass man. We're supposed to be relaxing right? No trouble remember?
Kloh was more than happy to let this opportunity pass. He'd been shot at enough in the last few weeks.
Venkru! Where's you brain man? Drowned on these famous Azure Milks?
Kloh shakes his head at his pal's lack of focus...then again maybe he took my advice about being on vacation...and keyed up Jaira's com.
Hey now...its a no go here. Fuzzball went down a hole that we don't have access to.
Via Commlink
"Jaria? Have you been monitering your comm?"
...
Long wait...
"No joy, I repeat no joy."
.....assumes she will recognize the lingo
"Well, we can wait till he comes out or we can find another rabbit hole, and I think I know where one might be. Meet me out front."
If they should actually meet Jaira out front she will lead them to the shop she found out about earlier and fill them in on what was discovered. "We could ask the shop keeper to spill, but I doubt it would work so I suggest Venkru and enter seperately as customers and distract the shopkeeper and any possible assistants, then Kloh can hack the computer for records and clues."
Kloh sighed, shrugged and shook his tentacle head as it seemed his companions were intent on 'working' during their time off and they were surely headed towards 'causing trouble' despite their bosses express commands not to.
This is a dead end. Fuzzy Wuzzy could check out in any number of places I'm sure. Let's split this joint Venkru and see what Jaira's cooked up.
Kloh will lead his ladies out arm in arm to meet up with Jaira.
"Maybe we should simply contact Yeebo or Nym and make a report, that way we keep following orders."
I like that idea...a lot.
You guys meet Jaira. What she has not mentioned is she has already contacted Yeebo and has orders. She best share them with you guys.
"Alright, it's a bit risky to hack the shop but I want that bonus, so try not to get caught please. I'll go iin first, then you two come in a couple minutes apart."
Jaira updates Enna but doesn't give any new orders, to she what she does.
When they get near the shop Jaira points it out to them and heads inside, where she starts looking for parts for a small droid then asks the shopkeeper about them as she is looking to make a custom design and needs parts that will work. And as a bonus she is being mostly truthfull and will buy a few select parts if they fit what she needs. ( I can describe this droid concept later in a pm)
Kloh wished Jaira had explained what exactly was so important about the shop before rushing in...and how much of a bonus they were looking at...this better not go nova... He conspired with with Nael and Yayoi to act as a distraction in case anyone with too much curiosity came by... make out, giggle, pet, tease, just dont let anyone else come in after us... and then checked his chrono to make sure he gave Jaira the allotted two minutes.
You want to go first Venkru?
"Unless you think I will make the owner nervous, I think you and your entourage might stimulate his visual receptors and evoke more relaxation than me and mine might tense the situation up......"
Kloh thinks it over and can't argue with the Madelorian's simple logic...he is a bit rough looking... and rehashes the plan with his slaves.
Alright girls so we're going in first. Same deal but use your charms to distract the owner and and take notice of any security. So unzip those those jackets and lets get his party started.
WHen his chrono alarm went off indicating the allotted time had past; the Nautolan ushered his women into the store.
Venkru sets his chronometer also and spends some time out front seeing what the newly acquired beast is capable of....
In passing he asks....
"So do we need to acquire some foods for you and the dingo? I doubt starship fare is your preference."
Inside the shop; Kloh's bulbous eyes cased the joint.
Venkru follows in a few minutes......
Kloh heads right towards where he can see shield generators hoping that they have one that will comply with their droideka's specs.
I suppose I could retrofit one if they have any Sorosuub 34XV's or 35XV's or better.
The Nautolan keeps an eye out for Jaira and makes sure not to step on her toes while she talks to the shopkeeper.
You slip into the store. The store sells mostly wilderness survival gear and other planet surveying equipment and other sporting goods. The shopkeeper is a tall and gruff looking Trandoshan and at the counter is a courtesy droid to check people out.
The Trandoshan nods as you enter. "Welcome to Gillman's Wilds wilderness supply store." He says in a very laboured basic. "What brings you people in today."
Kloh had given Jaira a few seconds to answer but she was stalling to the point of rudeness. So he stepped up to answer the vendor and act as a distraction.
Hey now, I'm planning taking these fine young ladies on one of them archaic camping trips. We have some of the basics but are looking for some more stuff that will make it more comfortable...you know?.. for the girls. Got anything like that?
Venkru steps up ahead of Kloh...
"Wait your turn! I got two strange beasts and am not sure what to feed either of them!"
Points at the large woman and the cat/dog/what-ever it is....
"Do you know what I need?"
The Tradoshan "smiles" at Kloh. "We have plenty for that sort of thing. I can show you exactly what you need." He glares at Venkru. "We are a sports store not a pet store. You have no business here so get lost." He then proceeds to take Kloh to where cold weather survival equipment is located and begins to go over what you would need to stay comfortable."[/b]
"Lost and killed is what ends up with your custmers I would wager....What is this a front for?"
Kloh smiled at the vendor but then frowned when the Mandelorian appeared offended.
Uh, it looks like you might need to deal with him first sir.
The nautolan will back out of the way, escorting his ladies all the while looking for a computer.
The Trandoshan glares at the Mandelorian and draws a heavy blaster. He stands before Venkru towering over him. "I have no business with you. Get out before I blow your head off. I don't service your kind of customer." He hisses menacingly at Venkru. Mawakina moves up spear at the ready but the Trandoshan seems unphased.
Venkru heads to the door......hopefully the order will let him blast this building into nothingness.....
Smiles. ...
"Not looking for a freebie, just the right kind of kibble."
Once Venkru is gone the Trandoshan turns its attention back to Kloh. "Okay now that troublemaker is out of the way. Back to you."
Not liking how this was going so far; Kloh preceded none the less.
Yes, well uh, we'll be needing a durashelter that will fit at least three, a camp stove and a distress beacon in case things don't go well, you know?
Kloh wished Jaira would play her hand soon as he didn't really want to spend the creds on needless gear.
Jaira walks up, "Sir, I saw complete kits for that over there." she points in the general direction. Then she looks at the shopkeeper, "I hunt in some extreme environments and need to replace some of my gear, and if you have what I need, I need to rebuild my hunting droid as well. Do you have any..." she asks about various equipment mostly about the droid stuff if he has any, if not, then she continues with survival gear dropping hints about how her camp got trashed by a rancor.
The Teandoshan smiles at Jaira. "She is correct. There is some over here. Come I will show you." The trandoshan then turns in the direction of the back room. "Martum! You have a customer! Get yer scrawny butt out here!"
A moment later a Nemodian steps out and the Trandoshan points to Jaira. The trando then turns back to Kloh. "Now here we have some quality shelters."He begins to show Kloh the goods.
The Nemodian walks up to Jaira. [B]"I specialize in droids. Namely survival droids but we have a few other pieces. What can I get for you?"
Venkru surveys the shops in the immediate area looking for one where he is not too far away....in case something goes wrong.
Jaira gracefully waits for the assistant, "I am replacing a hunting droid, tracker, with a backup weapon. This time I am doing a custom build." Jaira discusses her plans with him, for a droid that floats, tracks, has a hidden removable weapon, possibly with astromech repair and navigation, with plenty of room for future expansion. Oh and will listen if he has suggestions.
The nemodian nods to Jaira and gestures towards the backroom. "Come, we keep the extras in the back."
The Nemodian leads Jaira out of the main area and into the backroom to the droidyard.
He shows you the collection of droid pecies and a few of those you have mentioned. "Here we have a good variety to chose from. What kind of beast were you considering hunting?" He shows you several droid parts.
The Trandoshan looks at Kloh. "Now you have my undivided attention sir." He says with a grin.
Kloh makes a showing of being annoyed at once again being interrupted by another customer before gesturing for the Trandoshan to lead the way.
Hey now, lets see what you have uh MR?
Kloh will introduce himself and the two girls before following the vendor to look over the goods.
Oh yes, you do have quite a few things that we are looking for...
Venkru selects an establishment with food service and hopes the menu agrees with his companions tastes.....
Kloh will set aside a few items that he mentioned earlier as long as they are of the new quality.
...hmm...there are still some things that I'm sure I haven't thought of. I'd hate to get out there and realize that I'd forgotten the one thing that we desperately need. You know what I'm saying? Do you perhaps have a holo-catalogue that I could check out?
Meanwhile the Nautolan's lady friends have picked up on his que and make a play at distracting the Trandoshan after he answers Kloh's last question.
"I hunt lots of things, oftentimes acting as a guide for rich wannabes. The kind of trouble those idiots can get into astounds me. But they have to live if I want to get their money. So I need versatility." Jaira has tagged along with friends on hunting trips, enough to know the basics and make casual comments it.
Glad to be out of the camping shop and doubly glad to have not had tto waste creds on needless gear..that Trando wasn't having any funny business... Kloh ushered his ladies back to their room where they could enjoy some peace, quiet and alone time.
The rest of the week was a blur to the Nautolan. Drink after drink at party after party followed by extra long swims and even longer sleep periods.
Kloh scored some Galaxy Swoops, the premier sneaker worn by the famous blitzball player Gradbog Neolux who was in all of the SoroSuub commercials on the Holonet. He also got to take all of his pals to see The Mynock 5, one of his favorite Holovid bands.
All in all it was a fun and relaxing vacation. He got to know his slaves better...and they certainly learned what I like... and they bonds with his fellow cohorts grew stronger...well Jaira is still distant most of the time but Venkru is definitely down until our powerpacks are juiced... So when they got the call Kloh was more than ready to get back in the pilot's seat of his ship and get to work...cant forget to look into those concussion missiles...and this girl still needs a name...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Venkru makes certain that Kloh returns alive from his parties, and attempts to seduce his slaves a couple of times during the week as a part of proper wingman duties. Otherwise much the same as the OOC thread summary.
Jaira curses the luck that gets number three kicked out of the shop, but finishes her purchases. Then collects Enna listens to what she does or doesn't report and goes into teaching mode about droids while she starts putting one together. Occasionally she will confer with Kloh about the ship or either of the droids, perhaps lending a hand if she feels like it.
Okay let the long story cometh.
You have for the most part allowed Nym's men to escape. Yeebo forgives you as it was not a job you necessarily were required to accomplished but simply requested.
As such you enjoy your leave and accquire the materials you seek as well as the company. When you return, Yeebo informs you that Nym had in fact survived. Also, Jarl and Dwanna have vanished. You three are all that is left of the special forces team.
As members of a special recon team, Yeebo has seen fit to assign you three different kinds of tasks than he had originally figured. Most of which are simple recon, hacking, spying, sabotage and other low key tasks.
Zedora has many enemies, Nym not being the only one. Zedora wants to start with controlling Tatooine and the space surrounding it. That means he is going to but heads with Lady Velarian, Jabba's old rival. Velarian is very well entrenched in the system but before she can be dealt with, Nym needs to be gone once and for good.
Yeebo has you all gathered for you next mission. "As most of you may have heard by now, Nym is still alive. We are making moves to remedy that. The major one is that it is your job to kill him. We know that Nym had his fort on Lok, it is ours now. So he is hiding somewhere else. We have scoured all of Desseir and have bounties placed on him but alas, it seems he and all his minions have fled the world and are hiding somewhere else. We have feeler's sent out throughout the Galaxy looking for him and I believe we have found a hit. Geonosis, the red desert world where the first battle of the clone wars took place. We have heard reports of pirate activety in that sector. Your mission is to head out there and find these pirates. Infiltrate their bases and confirm whether or not they are affiliated with Nym or know anything about him. You are authorized to use whatever means you have available to complete your mission. You may have Dwenna's ship and any gear you have purchased. You may also make use of the slaves we have given you as well. Any questions?"
Venkru considers the news that Nym is still alive, he shrugs and hopes this just increases the bounty on Nym's head. Then he smiles.
"Do we have any verfication codes or other intell that will let us dock directly with the pirates?"
Yeebo looks confused. "Dock with? Of course not. This is an unknown breed of pirate. You visiting them would be our first contact. I am certain they won't allow complete strangers, or if they are in fact Nym's people, Zedora's men in for a visit. No, you are landing on Geonosis and are going to find the location of their base and infilrate it for info on Nym if it turns out to be a lead.."
Poodoo dumpa!
Cursing in Huttese at the news that Nym had eluded death at their hands; Kloh folded his hwebbed fingers together and placed them behind his tentacled head... how did that happen?..
He listened to the briefing with interest and tsk'ed when he realized that they couldve used some of that camping gear after all.
He means infiltrate with no one being the wiser Venkru. Although the idea of infiltrating by joining up has merit...but they would recognize Dwenna's ship pronto... really need to give that tug a name... its ours now... and we'd be busted. Then again with a new transponder and osme heavy mods it might pass but going in sneaky is our best bet at first anyways.
Nods at Yeeboo
Quietly at Kloh
"Sounds like we need mods on both the ship and the droideka for this mission."
@ Yeebo
"So their current allegiance is in question?"
"If we want an unfamiliar ship, we can always trade it in to my mechanic. My ship is almost finished with repairs but awaiting the final repair payment. It looks significantly different now after her last beating and is a different class then Dwenna's ship, it also has plenty more space, good armaments, and a fully legitimate transponder with an extra I picked up. The only bad thing is it might take two days longer before departure then simply modding Dwenna's." Since the entire point of Jaira's was to get her ship repaired, of course she presented this option, with a straight face too.
"That depends on Yeebo's time frame, If he says leave now the ship is set, if he says we have time to wait, then we have some options."
Offers a nod to Yeebo
"When do we leave?"
Yeebo nods. "Commonly crime lords in the galaxy have certain specialties. As you know, Zedora's is slavery. Jabba's was smuggling, and Nym's was piracy. Nym was the best at the piracy department, that is why Zedora wished to take him down. Zedora wants to start a piracy ring and be the best of it but in order to do that he needs Nym out of the way and pirates to work for him."
Yeebo takes a deep breath "So when I say the pirates allediance is in question, I mean, are they Nym's men or affiliated with Nyn in some way and what is their stance towards Zedora, also, is their a chance of highering them. Thats what I mean.
Yeebo crosses his arms. [b]As for a time table, I am giving you five days to prepare but you must be on your way by then. You will be paid upon your return and the amount will depend upon the nature in which you return."
Yeebo pauses. "Anything else?"
