The Rodian says something, and draws his blaster. You hear the sounds of other blasters being drawn as the Twi'lek frowns at you, as though considering your words. Holding up her hand, she smirks and says, "Let's not start shooting yet. Jubara might want to talk to these gentlemen first." Turning, she opens the door to the office and says, "Wait here." Before the door closes behind her, you catch a glimpse of a male human with graying hair and a vaguely military demeanor standing over a table.
"They are disrespectful. Let us kill them and dump their bodies in the jungle."
Koro, Jax, and Kordin see the Rodian draw his blaster, and six others draw blasters. The Twi'lek holds up her hand and says something before disappearing from sight.
"Well, they seem to have things well in hand...." Koro begins to say, just as the 'warehouse' workers pull blasters on their comrades.
"Hmmm, things just got interesting." she says with grin. She peers down into the warehouse, looking for something nice and big to throw around.
"Why don't you two figure out a way to open this skylight so we're not noticed..." she suggests to Korbin and Jax.
Kordin looks down and holsters her blaster rifle. After that she draws her vibrosword and activates the weapon.
"On it, unless someone here has a grenade or smoke bomb."
Jax assists Kordin, looking for a way to open the skylight without alerting those inside.
" We may want to be a little more subtle if we can... "
The miraluka will UTF to search his feelings to get a reading as to what is taking place/
Trevan nods at the Twi'lek and follows her with his eyes as she ascends the stairs. He remains calm outside as a storm of violence begins to build inside of him.
As Koro peer down into the warehouse, Jax's waving hand brings her over.
At his indication of the lock, she nods and smiles, igniting her lightsaber away from the skylight, then easing it along the edge of the skylight, severing the locking mechanism.
Then with pointing with her chin, she indicates one of the other help her top slide the window open.
She then crouches by the opening, attaching the cord dispenser on her belt to a nearby stanchion, ready to descend when things to sideways below.
You sense a general feeling of danger - this is clearly still a hostile situation, although it has been since you walked in. You also feel that your meeting with the leader will determine whether this day turns to violence or not.
The miraluka will be ready in case anything goes wrong.
The door opens and the Twi'lek re-emerges. "You may speak with Jubara." She gestures towards the open door, where you see the Human you saw previously standing straight, looking towards you, face unreadable.
The Twi'lek comes back into your sight, says something, and appears to gesture through a door. She doesn't speak loudly enough for you to hear.
Kordin was on the roof fiddling with her forearm. Jets at the ready whenever action was needed.
The miraluka will wait for the "Master" to begin the conversation.
"Greetings Jubara, you are more wise than your minions it seems. We have come here to assist you in your endeavors as we fight against a common foe.
Now we believe is the time to step from the shadows and join you in your endeavors".
As you enter the office, the Rodian and Twi'lek follow you taking up positions on either side of the door. Jubara clearly doesn't trust you, and is wary of you.
As Trevan makes their pitch, Jubara lets out a snort of derision. "Fight against a common foe? You know nothing of me or my intentions. That you found me speaks to your skill, but I see no reason to, as you put it, 'step out of the shadows.' Your presumption comes across as arrogant and petty. Tell me, why should I work with you, let alone tell you anything of my plans?"
You see Trevan and Iliquoi move out of sight, followed by the Twi'lek and Rodian. The others outside holster weapons and appear to get back to work.
"If you found it, then it isn't a very well-kept secret, now is it? If this is the headquarters of the Crimsin Sun, why would they be interested in working with you?"
He's definitely being cagey - never outright lying, but not letting anything slip. He doesn't seem to be worried about you, but he doesn't trust you.
The miraluka will state, using the Force to power his words We are to be trusted it is okay to let us in on what you know. he states.
Affect Mind
Jax watches as the various beings go back to their tasks. Keeping an ear out for trouble he tries to make a count of everyone he can see.
"Well, since you can be trusted, here's the plan. We're loading the -" Jubara begins to say, but the Rodian suddenly shouts something in Rodese. Jubara responds in the same language, and they appear to be having an argument. The Twi'lek silently watches you.
"What do you mean they are trusted!? We don't know who they are! They could be Sith!" the Rodian shouts.
"Well, they know where we are. And who we are. Obviously if they were given that information they can be trusted. They might be very helpful in accomplishing our goals."
Snorting, the Rodian says, "They are likely nothing of the kind. Perhaps they bribed someone to tell them our location? You cannot tell them anything!"
"Well, that SIS agent said he would send some help. What if these two are the help?"
The argument about your trustworthiness continues...
Watching from the roof, you see no sign of Trevan & Iliquoi since they entered the office. Of course, you also can't tell what's happening in there...
Since he does not understand Rodese he will tap into the Force to see if he can understand, at least the feelings, of what is taking place.
The Rodian feels angry. Jubara gives the muddled sense of one who has been mind tricked, although that is fading - and anger is rising.
Koro watches the non-action down below and begins to fidget. Narrowing her eyes, she probes downward with the Force, trying to impart feelings of impatience and boredom to the two other Sith below.
But her state of mind disrupts her attempt, leaving her more frustrated than before.
The Mandalorian was also getting very bored. The fiddling on her wristband had changed to a rhythm of some sort.
From the Rodian, towards you and Trevan. From Jubara, no one...yet.
The miraluka will give a telling half smile at the Rodian.
Trevan turns to the Rodian, "Are you interrupting a superior in the hierarchy? Such an action is a punishable offense! Jubara if you wish I can mete out punishment on your behalf to show our sincerity for your cause. We cannot have subordinates questioning the decisions of the leadership can we?"
Koro and Jax can see Kordin's head begin to bob side to side as she seems to alter her finger movements.
Kordin moves her hand to her head to motion for the comm link. When she speaks there appears to be some form of background noise.
"Need some ass kicking music if things get dicey down there."
The Rodian says something to you and draws his blaster. Jubara pauses and thinks for a moment, then turns and says, "Well, that tells me who you are." Jubara walks over to a holo table and turns it on. A map of Kaas City appears. He waves you over to the table.
All yet seems quiet.
The miraluka wil go and inspect the map.
"If you'll look at the spaceport here," Jubara says, pointing at the map, "That's where we have the baradium hidden. We've got a big statement planned for our operation."
You notice him carefully drawing a vibrosword as he's talking.
The roof is still quiet, as those below go about their work.

Despite seeing Jubara drawing the blade, Iliquoi is still not quick enough to escape his attack, as the vibrosword gashes his arm.
The Twi'lek draws her blaster, only to stand by the door, watching the situation unfold. The Rodian takes his blaster and shoots the flat-footed Trevan, grazing him with the shot.
Suddenly, those of you on the roof hear a blaster shot ring out.
The miraluka, being cut and damaged by the rodian will smile, fury barely contained You ought not have done that, rodian. In fact, why don't you use that knife to end your pathetic little life? he says calling upon the Force and waving his hand in front of the creature with one hand while unclipping the procured lightsaber from the holster.
UTF Mind Trick
Ok. I was confused on who shot. My influence talent allows me access again. The command is given to the guy who poked him
"There we go!" Koro says quietly as the blaster shot rings out below, "I knew that Jedi ploy wasn't going to work!"
As before she peered down into the warehouse and reached out with the Force, wrenching the largest thing she could find and causing it hurl through the air into the largest concentration of thugs.
She waits for Kordin and the others to act...
Jubara appears to be struggling with his sword, as though trying to use it on himself and not use it on himself at the same time.
The Rodian shouts something at the Twi'lek before shooting Trevan again, continuing to plug away at him.
The Twi'lek proceeds to raise her blaster...and shoot the Rodian.
x2 = 16
A huge crate suddenly flies off the stack it was on, slamming into one of the thugs and knocking the three next to him to the ground. The crate pops open, spilling power packs all over the floor of the warehouse. The other 5 turn and look at where the crate flew from.

It would have been better for you, foolish human, had you simply followed my suggestion. It would have been less painful. he says with a smile as he calls upon the Dark Side and summons Sith lightening.
// Force Lightning (standard; one target within 6 squares) •Dark Side<BR>+12 vs. Reflex, target takes 8d6 damage and moves -1 step down the condition track, half damage on a miss
He will then ignite his light saber.
Jax nods to Koro and drops his prepped line into the warehouse, sliding down after the coil.

"That one we need alive, I'll gut the Rodian..."
Smiling wickedly Trevan ignites his light saber and summons the dark side of the Force.
