The Contract for Qorl Siwa

OOC Date: December 20 2020
Location: Nar Shadda
Participants: Aejin, Khe Cust, Dhr'Rall


The guild halls is always busy with life no matter what hour of the day it is, there is always bounties to hand out and business to tend too. By one small desk sits the green skinned twi'lek Pra'Tari Zebb and taps his fingers on a datapad. "Soo.." His basic still has the classic twi'lek accent to it. "Your the hunters right, you saw the add for the contract the Hutt cartel handed out?"

Khe Cust is one of the hunters in the room, she is not taking lead thats for sure she is not that well informed on Nar Shadda business and she doesnt truly like the Hutts. But she stands in the back of the room, arms crossed and studies the other hunters present.

[Dhr'rall] Having to duck in the hallways even here in the Guild Hall can be slightly aggravating for Dhr'rall. He steps to one side out of the way and tilts his massive head to consider Pra'tari with glowing jade pupils. His own speech is sibilant broken but understandable basic. "Dhr'rall is Core hunter, yes. Dhr'rall requires more details, but will hear out contract on Rodian pirate."


[Aejin] For his part, Aejin's silence hangs between himself and Pra'Tari Zebb. Armor strapped tight, helmet securely worn, the darkened visor remains focused on the Twi'lek for a brief time. Eventually the Mandalorian's helmet tips forward with a simple nod before his vocoder clicks to life, "Yes," he answers the question in its simplest form. After that simple answer though, a question of his own is soon carried through the vocoder, "What are the details on the acquisition? Are there any leads on a location at present?" he asks coolly before the vocoder clicks off once again. Absently his hand lowers to one side and soon enough a slugthrower is unholstered, the drum opened, given a glance, and then holstered once again in smooth order. After that his hand shifts to a stun net launch on his other side, checks it over, and gives it a nod before stashing it away once again. Then he goes still, clearly considering something or another... even if he never moves. A soft whine emits from his jetpack, though it never fires. Systems checks. Gear checks. Finally Aejin's darkened visor returns to Pra'tari and another nod is given, as though to signal his preparedness.


[Khe Cust] Pra'Tari studies the large Togorian and offers a toothed smile. "Core Hunter yes.." he then looks at Aejin and nods his head, then a glance at the least armored hunter namely Khe. "The details of why the Hutts want the aquisition is according to guild regulations and rules of no concern, the prize is there for a reason." once again the Twi'lek smiles with it's toothy grin. "Latest intel on the whereabouts of the Rodian traitor is in the lower industrial sector, near the 'Indentured Droid' bar."

[FAIL ( -11)] Dhr'rall's Gather Information @ (100) diff.

[Dhr'rall] Large clawed hands wave side to side at the mention of Hutts and their reasons. "Dhr'rall meant more... yes. Intel. Important details to Dhr'rall are of Rodian. Rodian's problem Rodian upset Hutts." His grin is meant to show Pra'Tari he took no offense, though it is a grin full of long sharp fangs. He plucks out his own large and claw battered datapad from his combat harness. He's taking notes, or checking on the Indentured Droid. "Dhr'rall sees Indentured Droid has gambling. Droid servers, may mean Droid Security. Lower District, erm. Somewhere." He taps a claw on the datapad, then slaps the side hard with a Technical Tap. [Aejin] The darkened visor of the Mandalorian's helmet remains fixed on Pra'Tari for a moment. The silence stretches out for a moment before Aejin's vocoder activates once more and his cool tone soon drifts out from the helmet, <"Dead or alive? Name, species, known associates? Known hideouts; besides The Indentured Droid? Hold one,"> he then turns his attention a datapad contained within the left vambrace of his armor. His gloved finger flicks at it for a moment, before finally his focus returns up and toward Pra'Tari. The lingering presence of Khe Cust does receive a momentary glance from the Mandalorian, followed by a brief once-over from the dark tinted visor. Eventually though, Aejin's focus returns to the Twi'lek and the briefing. [Khe Cust] The Twi'lek licks its lips as it reaches down and brings up a holodisk on the table, it switches it on and the image of a rodian appears, circling slowly for all the hunters to see. "It's really none of your concern. Known locations are Nal Hutta, he is a well known figure there. We tracked him here to Nar Shadda, and our intel states he is near or around the Indentured Droid. We pay you to find and handle the problem. Dead or Alive, the guild always pays more for alive, this is not a kill contract. If he dies he dies but the reward is less." Pra'Tari runs a hand over his tentacles as he sits there. "Known ascociates are." he chuckles softly. "Me..He has worked with the Mandalorian." the Twi'Lek looks over towards Khe and Aeijin for a moment. "Kon Ruahl, and various other pirates of lesser reputation."


[Khe Cust] Khe Cust remains silent, arms crossed over her chest as she through her vizor studies the twi'lek and the other two hunters. True the guild regulates one does not interfere with another hunter, one does not take another hunters prize but there is always competition. [Dhr'rall] "Dhr'rall's only concern is information on target, not why target is hunted." This time there is a slight growl from the Togorian. There is a glance towards Khe and Aejin followed by a shrug. "Dhr'rall prefers credits, alive pays more. Alive is goal. If dead pays more?" Again with the predators smile. "Twi'lek look smart." He takes a moment to examine his claws and makes a gesture for the client representative to continue.

[Aejin] <"It seems like we're likely going to just have to pay a visit to The Indentured Droid,"> Aejin remarks through the use of his vocoder with a glance toward Dhr'rall and Khe Cust. His visor shifts from one to the other, silence practically wrapping itself around the Mandalorian as his helmet shifts from one hunter to the other until he finally remarks, <"That is, of course, if you're all keen to work together. Or would you all prefer to tackle it solo and may the best hunter win? The chances of success are greater if we work together,"> he reminds, even if it is among the more obvious. Another glance is sent toward Khe Cust, considering her for a brief time. Then the Mandalorian's attention shifts to the Togorian. Up. Up to the Togorian. And up. Until finally Aejin's focus shifts back to the Twi'lek. [Khe Cust] The Twi'lek keeps it's smile lingering on it's face as it nods. "Yes yes, you do as you please. Alone or in group, the guild nor the hutts do not care. The bounty is set, once you leave until three days no other Hunter will recieve this contract." Pra'Torian strokes his tentacles once again. "Be aware, the delivery of the aquisition shall be dealt to the Bounty Hunters hangar, the transport back to Nal Hutta will be dealt with on our own." it pauses for a moment. "Any more questions?"


Khe Cust adjusts her holster and nods her head. <"I do not mind sharing the bounty, I don't know the lower industrial sector that well so I'm all for teaming up">

[Dhr'rall] There is a considering look from the glowing jades in Dhr'rall's face to the other two Hunters. Young bloods seeking to make names for themselves. Dhr'rall's head leans back and forth a little while obviously mentally weight pros and cons. "Seventy Two hours. Dhr'rall thinks plenty of head start."

Now it is time to look over at Khe first and a nod at her admission of lack of knowledge. "Difficult district, always changing with industry needs." Then a look towards the Mandalorian. "Armored one makes good point. Dhr'rall agree in success in numbers. Dhr'rall also remember what it was like to be hungry Hunter on the rise through ranks." He bounces his index -claw between the two Hunters. "Dhr'rall will take under metaphorical wing, think this is correct word. Dhr'rall is most senior Hunter, though not necessarily oldest." He seems to be staring into the visor of Aejin as if tyring to guess the age of the face under that thing. Already he's turning for the exit. [Aejin] <"Very well,"> Aejin answers with a solemn nod of his head. With Dhr'rall beginning to turn, so too does Aejin. He gives one finally check to his holstered slugthrower as his hand lowers to rest atop it, though it is not drawn a second time. He gives the holster and its contents a little shake, checking that it is securely in place. Once satisfied the Mandalorian's hand withdraws once again as he begins to move forward. He spares a glance first to Khe Cust, then aside to Dhr'rall. It would seem he'd like to establish at least some means of clear communication, <"Call me Aejin. Or Jin, if you're feelin' lazy,"> though Dhr'rall had already made Dhr'rall's name very clear. So Aejin doesn't bother to look toward the Togorian for an introduction. Khe Cust though, she does earn a regard from his visor. He walks-and-talks, though. No delaying the hunt on Aejin's part. [Khe Cust] Pra'Torian nods his head, leaves the holodisk on the table but he takes his datapad and rises. "Hunt well." he offers and leaves the room.

Khe Cust watchse the Twi'lek depart, then looks back at the lengthy Togorian and the other Mandalorian and nods her head slowly. <"Khe Cust, and sure I'll let you lead you are my senior in this."> she offers towards Dhr'rall and murmurs softly to herself 'atleast it speaks basic' she then looks at Aejin and nods. <"Pleasure."> she then follows the other two to see where this is all going

[Dhr'rall] Speeders are all over Nar Shadda and hiring one is simple enough. To limit risks however, as Bounty Hunters seen traveling in packs tends to set folks into panic mode, Dhr'rall's asked them all to be dropped off about a block away to limit alarm and immediate detection. "Dhr'rall see no sense being a target, should scout from some distance. Dhr'rall will try to walk casual."

-=Nar Shadda - Lower Industri sector=-

The journey to the lower industrial sector is if not boring atleast time consuming even by using taxi. It's down in the seedier parts of Nar Shadda where the fact that people are armed doesnt raise an eyebrow. The street where the Indentured Droid is truly one of the seedier parts. The street outside is littered with various tents and shackles where people are selling scraps and various meat on sticks. Neon signs, some broken some fully operational cover the high walls and the ceiling of this part of the district. Two servo droids, litteraly just two boxes with legs, klanker onwards along the street. The Indentured Droid has a classic protocol droid painted on either side of the entrance, and there are two large droids outside guarding the entrance. Across the street, is a tool shop with a large open hangar door in which one can see two humans working on a couple of droids and a speeder.

[Aejin] <"Clever,"> Aejin remarks back at Dhr'rall upon instructing the speeder to let the group of hunters out some distance away. The talk of wakling casually earns another nod from the Mandalorian. Khe Cust earns a nod upon Aejin stepping out of the speeder. Once into the Nar Shaddaa air his helmet begins to shift and turn, taking in his surroundings. No doubt the helmet package assisting the wearer in piercing the darkness that dwells beyond the neon signs and other light sources. From down the street, Aejin seems to spy the presence of the tool shop with its large hangar doors open, at which point he comments about it, his voice kept low even through his vocoder to prevent his voice from carrying beyond his two companions, <"Head into the Indentured Droid? Or question the mechanics?">

[Khe Cust] Khe Cust is amused by the togorian walking casually but thankfully she wears a helmet and it doesnt show. She makes sure she has her blaster loaded in her holster but the approach by the Togorian is logical and sane, she was wondering just how well three armored hunters would be recieved in this part of the town. <"I agree with the Togorian, we draw attention to us, we are clearly a threat. Perhaps a plan divided?"> she looks between the other two hunters. <"The Shop can contain information if not a good look out spot. The Bar, will definatly have information. Or simply establish overwatch position somewhere and await our target?"> she is offering her advice, but clearly not taking charge here.


[Aejin] <"The shop could likewise be paid lookouts. It's risky to approach them,"> Aejin remarks, particular in regard to the pair of mechanics working on the droids and speeder. The Mandalorian's helmet shifts away to regard Khe Cust, but then promptly returns to surveying the urban terrain. Again his vocoder clicks to life before he adds, <"As much as I'm itching for a good fight? Being significantly outnumbered isn't going to get this acquisition brought in and us paid. Lying in wait seems the best idea">. Then Aejin goes quiet again, likely to await Khe and Dhr'rall's own thoughts. Though after only the span of a heartbeat Aejin remarks with a glance toward their Togorian Core Hunter, <"What do you think about your going to look around the back, alleys, so forth. Khe and I remain out front, preferably out of sight, and keep an eye on the entrance.">

[Khe Cust] The Togorian nods it's head and moves off to establish staekout at the back of the bar.

Khe watches Dhr'rall wander off and then looks at Aejin and nods her head slowly. <"Two Mandalorians in the Lower Industrial district. Your call Jin, whats our move?">

[Aejin] When the Togorian begins to make his way off, Aejin's attention drifts back around to regard Khe. Then the Indentured Droid down the street. Then finally back to Khe before he continues, <"You want to go speak with the mechanics? Gather what information you can of them,"> the Mandalorian speaks through his vocoder. He then gestures upward with a upward tilt of his helmet, as if to indicate the roofs of the structures looking out over the streets. At which point Aejin concludes, <"I can hop up on the roof, keep an eye out from up high. Unless you've got a jetpack? Or you can climb it? I'm going to be more effective up close. Alternatively? We just go stand by the door,"> the vocoder cuts off just as what may very well be a chuckle was about to be broadcast. <"Or we go in blazing and take them by surprise. I'm good with that, too. We hit hard enough and fast enough, we may not even have to worry about numbers.">

[PASS ( +16)] Aejin's Spot @ (100) diff.

[PASS ( +46)] Khe Cust's Spot @ (100) diff.

[+Prove] Aejin shows the room his Natural Hunter feat. [Khe Cust] Khe Cust tilts her head slightly as she considers the options and then chuckles softly. <"I carry a blaster, not a rifle..I wont be good to you up on a roof, and no jet pack."> she studies the tool shop and the outside of the bar and shakes her head. <"I am not certain about a blazing, but your call."> she pauses. <"How about we go to the tool shop, parhaps ask them to help repair something, like my broken datapad, or something?">

At this point, some of the local resident starts to notice two Mandalorians talking in a nearby alley, yet at this point it's just looks no whispers or word of mouth. Another note which both Mandalorians would notice is that not a single human has entered or left the Indentured Droid, yet four droids have come and none have left.

- [+Prove] Khe Cust shows the room her Quickdraw feat. [Aejin] <"Acceptable,"> Aejin offers with a nod of his helmet toward Khe Cust before he concludes, <"Let's inquire about that speeder they're working on. Obviously we're just a nice pair of Mandalorians looking to buy a used speeder at a decent price. We can also determine if it's operational, in the event we need to depart quickly with our acquisition".> The plan forged, Aejin begins to move from the mouth of the alley. He does not rush in his steps, but instead takes each with a degree of casual confidence that one would expect of a Mandalorian treading the lower dregs of Nar Shaddaa. While his left arm sways to and fro with his forward momentum, his right arm remains fixed at his right side. That allows for his hand to dangle precariously close to the slugthrower holstered on that side of his body. Meanwhile as he walks beneath the many neon signs, his golden armor seems to attract those neon lights and scatter them across the golden surface of the Mandalorian's armor. [Khe Cust] The Tool Shop or the Klanker Bay as the sign names it, is more or less just an open hangar filled with various carts of scrap and tool shelves along the walls. There are some hangers for droids, where one can keep them while repairing them where at the moment two droids, one protocol and one old B1 battle droid is hanging both attached with cables to various system checkup equipments. In the middle of the hangar is a speeder, upon which two humans are working, one female and one male by the looks of things. As the two Mandalorians appears in the entry, the female looks up, with grease on her face she arches an eyebrow. "Most of what you see is for sale" her eyes hungrily studies the golden surface of the first Mandalorian.


Khe arrives behind Aejin, studying the space before her but also tossing a look over her shoulder at the Indentured Droid and the two droids guarding the entrance. <"Do the talking Jin, I'll keep an eye out while you do it."> she offers in Mando'a

[Aejin] There's a simple nod of the golden helmet. Whether that is in answer to Khe Cust's own remark or the de facto greeting presented from one of the two mechanics, Aejin's vocoder clicks to life as he begins to stroll deeper into the Klanker Bay, <"Been in business long? We're shopping around, considering picking up a new speeder. Something dependable,"> he explains casually. He keeps his distance, but masks it well enough by surveying the droids and the various tools of the droid tech's trade as though he were just another curious shopper. The visor then shifts back up and toward the pair of mechanics whilst they work atop the speeder, at which point the vocoder activates once again with a soft click-pop, his voice clearly interjecting some amusement, <"Business must be booming, what with that bar across the street?"> Aejin opens the social door and looks to allow the mechanics to talk their way through it. [Khe Cust] "Business long?" The female grease monkey chuckles. "Me and my brother won this in a card game two years ago, we are working up to get another shop in the upper district." she sticks her hands into the pockets of her overall and glances at the speeder. "This one, we are fixing it up for a customer. Paid quite well for it." she looks over towards the Indentured Droid and nods. "You would not imagine how many droids come here, one visit in there and they want their security inhibitor removed or an upgrade." [FAIL ( -13)] Khe Cust's Spot @ (100) diff.

[Aejin] <"The upper district?"> Aejin's vocoder activates and his voice questions. He nods twice. Slowly, thoughtfully. He spares a glance back toward the hangar doors, then back to the speeder. There's a long moment of silence before he asks with a nod toward the speeder, <"Sounds expensive; the move to the upper district. Extra credits could probably go a long way?">. Again the vocoder goes silent and the Mandalorian's helmet turns this way and that, considering each of the droids inert or otherwise hanging out within the Klanker Bay. After a brief sweep of the interior, Aejin's visor returns to regard the sibling mechanics and his vocoder activates once again as he asks with a faint tilt of his helmet to the back, clearly intended to cast his gaze up to the mechanics, <"What do you know about that bar? Never been in it myself, but always heard talk about it from friends and the like. Don't really know nothing about it but rumors".> -(OOC)- Khe Cust says, "Do a spot check" [FAIL ( -35)] Aejin's Spot @ (100) diff.

[Khe Cust] Khe Cust keeping watch seems to shift her attention between the grease monkeys and the Indentured Droid, she keeps her arms crossed over her chest the light reflecting in her vizor of her rather pale grey suit of armor. Being alone as watch she misses to see a B1 droid make it's way out of the bar, spots the two Mandalorians just across the street and with a soft 'uh oh' it backs back into the bar.

The male grease monkey continues to work on the speeder, while the female one with hands stuck into the pockets watches the Mandalorians. "Expensive, well d'uh, it's a fortune but ones gotta dream right." she pauses. "The Droid, mostly droids really that come here. They seem to make do without human masters. Rare is the living customer that goes in there, not really sure what they do in there to be honest." she arches an eyebrow as something is out of the ordinary but then smiles towards Aejin. [Aejin] Aejin's shoulders shake, likely with laughter which is in turn silenced by the seals on his armor. Or he's simply acting as though he were laughing or chuckling at the female mechanics comments. After a moment of stillness, his vocoder activates and he nods along, <"Too right there. It is a fortune. Anyhow, back to business, you know if the owner of this speeder?"> he indicates the speeder that the pair was currently working on, <"Is open to selling it? I'm taking a liking to it and the more I see solid mechanics workin' on it? The more I think it's a good investment. You got the name of the owner by chance? Contact info? I may contact him, or her, to see if they'd be interested in selling,">. Aejin's darkened visor remains uplifted, focused on the male and female mechanics. He does not move. In fact, he looks perfectly at ease. Even with his hand resting oh so casually at his side.

[PASS ( +6)] Aejin's Gather Information @ (100) diff. [Khe Cust] The grease monkey studies the Mandalorian for a moment and purses her mouth. "-Well- I can't really give out that information now can I?" she smiles widely. "Clientel privacy and I can't afford to loose any customer, as we established it costs a fortune to relocate." she arches an eyebrow as if to make sure the Mandalorian is getting where she is aiming at. She studies Aejin, then Khe and the smile turns even wider. "Considering the extra bonus for haste on our work, I imagine." she takes a step backwards. "Your guild members arent you?"

Khe looks from the bar towards the mechanic and tilts her head slightly <"It's not like we are subtle, but she is clever that one."> she offers in Mando'a and keeps her arms crossed over her chest.

[Aejin] The darkened visor remains fixed on the female mechanic. Aejin does not move. Aejin does not speak. Those are perhaps the tenser moments when dealing with a Mandalorian. Things could explode into sudden violence or things could... simply carry on as they had been. Briefly Aejin's attention shifts aside and he answers back at Khe Cust in their shared Mando'a, <"She's something,"> he offers back without any particular opinions of the mechanic. Only when his attention shifts back to the mechanic, both male and female, does the Mandalorian's vocoder click to life once again as his stance shifts ever so slightly, <"Good eye. Since we're laying facts out on the table? We're looking for someone. I'm looking for information. I can give you a reasonable amount for that information, if you have the information we want. Otherwise,"> and Aejin's voice trails off as the vocoder clicks off once again. Judging by the fact that he did not continue speaking, it would seem his trailing off was very much intentional. [Khe Cust] The Mechanic nods her head slowly as she turns towards her brother who is lying under the speeder, she speaks up in a strange dialect and them an replies back as she nods her head slowly and looks back at the Mandalorians. "Fair enough, soo can't say for certain got no name or nothing but he was clad in a hood, definatly not human. Had three battle droids with him, old B1's. Gave us one in payment for repairing his speeder so he could get out of here. Told us we had the day to fix it, which is tough since it's a piece of shit." she motions over towards the Indentured Droid. "He's in there, waiting with his two droids."


[Aejin] Aejin continues to watch, the golden helmet aimed in the direction of the female mechanic. While he keeps an eye on both, the helmet barely seems to move at any given time. Contained within his helmet though, Aejin patches a comm channel over to Khe Cust directly, preventing his vocoder from activating and permitting those standing nearby from hearing their private conversation, <<"What do you say we offer them a share on the bounty? 10 percent? 20 percent? A finder's fee, of sorts. It's good business,">> and all the while Aejin's helmet dips and nods, showing the female mechanic that his attention was on her. Fully and undivided, for all she could truly tell. By the end though, Aejin's helmet shifts and the Mandalorian looks to the other Mandalorian, then across the street toward the Indentured Droid. Finally with a gesture of a gloved hand, Aejin seems to gesture for Khe Cust to move out of sight. Clearly he has a plan. Pending the business negotiations.

[Khe Cust] Khe Cust just stands there, arms crossed over her chest, dividing her attention between the talk and the bar. In reply to Aejin's question over the comms she simply gives a thumbs up and then as the gesture comes she pushes off the wall against which she is leaning and moves off around the corner, atleast out of view from the mechanics and Aejin. Khe moves about twenty feet away, finding a meat on a stick seller and starts to browse the food on display, atleast half heartedly as she studies the Bar aswell but now from a distance.

The Mechanic licks her lips as she watches the silent Mandalorian before her and seems to get slightly anxious as he seems to just stare at her, she takes another step back to end up by the speeder and gently kicks her brothers leg. The brother under the speeder, rolls back out and sits up, to finaly for the first time take in what is transpiring in the workshop. "Look, Mando." The female Mechanic speaks up. "If you aint buyin, we've got work to do...Again, costs a fortune and we've got a schedule. And we did share intel." it's a nervous cocky attitude.

[Aejin] <"Be calm. I was conferring with my partner,"> Aejin answers back with the activation of his vocoder. He considers the scene for a moment, the entirety of the hangar, and then finally back to the pair of mechanics. <"We are willing to pay you a finder's fee on the bounty. Ten percent of the total bounty that is claimed. In exchange? You are to contact the speeder owner, advise them that a pair of bounty hunters were snooping around, left empty handed, and that the speeder repairs are finished. Demand pick up immediately. Did he pay for the repairs in advance? If so, you keep that on top of the ten percent from the bounty once successfully claimed".> The dark visor remains fixed on the female mechanic, even as the brother-mechanic slides out from beneath the speeder. The business side of things was underway and now it was simply a matter of closing the deal and, hopefully, bringing the acquisition a step closer to capture. [Khe Cust] The mechanic nods her head slowly, confers in that strange street/gutter dialect of hers with her brother and then looks back at the Mandalorian. "Ten percent, what is that like 500 credits or something?" she licks her lips and nods her head slowly. "Sure thing, but you gotta be elsewhere." [Aejin] <"Possibly more. We'll know the exact amount upon his being turned over to the Guild. You'll be given a fair deal, you have my word, on my honor,"> Aejin answers back with a nod of his helmet. He pauses for a moment before he concludes, <"Consider this, too. If he learns that we came asking around and that you may be a loose end to our pursuing him? He may tie off that loose end. Permanently. It's in your best interests to help us".> Aejin goes quiet once again and he inclines his helmet once again, a clear inclining of his chin toward the sister-mechanic, <"Do we have a deal?"> Should the mechanics reach an agreement on the deal, then Aejin promptly begins to work his way out of sight, while remaining within the hangar. Clearly he intended to lie in wait, ready to ambush their acquisition.

The two mechanics confer for a moment, gesturing and debating the pro's and con's of the proposal offered before them in that strange dialect. Finaly the female looks up and nods her head. "Minimum 600 Imperials, we keep the B1 battle droid and the possible scaps that may come from the thing you do." she spits in her hand and offers it towards Aejin.

Khe meanwhile out on the street wards off the advances of two Jawa's that seems interested in buying her armor, or what ever junk she may have as she stands there by the meat-on-a-stick mechant.

[Aejin] <"Acceptable,"> Aejin offers back in agreement as he extends a glove hand to shake on the deal with the mechanic, in their particular custom. Though he doesn't spit on his hand. Because, helmet. Once the agreement is forged, the Mandalorian steps away and begins to move through the hangar. Seeking a suitable place to settle down and prepare himself for the impending ambush. Once in place, he takes a moment to gather himself up as he shares his intentions with his partner on their internal comms, <<"I'll have a stun net ready. Let them get to the hangar. I'll go for the acquisition. If we get him in the net, we can focus on dismantling his security. All goes according to plan? We should be able to clean up quick, easy, and clean. Agreed?">>

[PASS ( +18)] Khe Cust's Hide @ (100) diff.

[FAIL ( -30)] Aejin's Hide @ (100) diff. -(OOC)- Aejin says, "I knew that would happen. lmao" [Khe Cust tests an NPC's Spot.] [FAIL ( -26)] B1 - BattleDroid (4020)'s 12 @ (100) diff. [Khe Cust tests an NPC's Spot.] [FAIL ( -79)] B1 - BattleDroid2 (22344)'s 12 @ (100) diff.

[Khe Cust] <"Understood."> Khe Cust replies through the coms, making sure her own blaster actually has a stun setting. But the voice in her head speaks of two battle droids, she studies the blaster and leaves it at kill.

A couple of minutes pass, the male mechanic returns to work on the speeder and then the female makes her way across the street. Khe who is on outside can see how the female mechanic speaks with the guards, she seems vivid about something but is not allowed inside, moments later a B1 appears in the doorway. She speak and then she moves back towards the workshop. Another half a minute to a minute transpires before two B1 battle droids makes they way out of the Indentured Droid, they scan the street carefully with blasters in their hands 'Master, street secured, moving to objective' one of them say out loud as they then in tandem starts to cross the street and make their way into the workshop. Once at the entrance, one takes up position by the door and the other takes a few steps inside to scan the hangar. There is tension in the street. "All clear." says the Droid inside the hangar "Roger roger" says the one by the door. And then the door to the bar opens up and out walks a Rodian dressed in a long black robe, with it's hood up to hide it's features. [Khe Cust] Khe Cust is perfectly blending with the crowd, confering with Jawas and meat on the stick shop owners, as she is awaiting the go command from Aejin This is not the command you're looking for. (Try "help" or "+help" for help.) [Aejin] A tilt of the helmet allows Aejin to peer between a pair of crates, spying the street and the entrance to the Indentured Droid. He notes the presence of the figure in the robe with the hood up and on the internal comm channel comments back to Khe Cust, <<"Let him get closer to the hangar. Droids gave the all clear. He should come closer. I'll deploy the net as he gets closer to the hangar doors".>> Slowly his hand lowers to bring the net launcher into hand. He waits, patiently for the hooded Rodian to draw closer. He takes in a long, slow breath while he waits. A steady had is required and he takes the necessary steps to prepare himself for battle.

Aejin slides his G.A. R-40 Stun Net - 16734 out of its holster, bringing the cumbersome pistol up to a readied position!


Khe Cust slips a Czerka 411 - 22290 out from somewhere on her body, readying the small weapon.

[Khe Cust tests an NPC's Spot.] [FAIL ( -61)] Qorl Siwa (22339)'s 16 @ (100) diff.

The Rodian carefully crosses the street, but with a hurried pace as he quickly glances around the word of two Mandalorian bounty hunters makes him put haste over caution apparently as he enters the hangar. "You mechanic, ready my speeder now!" he demands as he tosses a handful of credits on the floor. "I need to get out of here.." The two droids, remains where they are one on each side of the door more or less, one checking the outside, the other checking the inside. All of them oblivious to the two Mandalorians lying in wait.

The male mechanic, lying on his back under the four seated speeder rolls in further as if to get out of the way if anything goes on. The Female mechanic looks around, nervously. "What are you looking for pleb! Do it now!" The Rodian yells. And where perhaps two Mandalorians have cool, the mechanic surely doesnt as she bolts towards the side of the hangar, where two other droids are hanging for maintenance, and will offer ample protection.

[�ATTACK� ( +28)] Aejin's StunNet Rifle hits Qorl Siwa (22339). <3 WP/90 SP>

- Qorl Siwa (22339) has taken 90 points of stun damage. It is currently Unconscious.

[Aejin] As the Rodian draws closer and closer, Aejin gives another tilt of his helmet to watch the acquisition's progress toward the hangar. As the intensity of the hangar's environment begins to elevate with the Rodian's apparent foul mood and the mechanics begin to scatter for safer locations, Aejin's internal comm activates again, <<"Go,">> he offers up in a cool, dry voice. At that execution order, Aejin rises up from behind the pair of crates that he had adopted for cover. The stun net rifle is brought up with his rise and with a whip-cracking bang it fires. The net sails across the hangar and connects squarely with its intended target. Immediately a gloved thumb depresses the activation trigger on the net's remove, sending a jolt of stunning energy through the tangling net and into the Rodian. As Qorl Siwa drops like a sack of Rodian meat, the Mandalorian promptly drops back down behind the cover of the crates.

The Mandalorian in the golden armor releases his grip on the rifle, allowing it to fall around his torso upon its sling. From the relative safety of his cover and concealment, Aejin's hand lowers to his right hip, at which point his fingers and palm come in contact with the grip of the cannon on his right side.

[�ATTACK� ( -2)] Khe Cust's Czerka Holdout misses B1 - BattleDroid (4020). [Khe Cust] "Blast him!" The B1 Battledroid inside the hangar calls out and the second one is about to turn inwards with it's blaster to take part in the protection of it's master, when Khe Cust pulls her blaster from her holster at the go command from Aejin. A red beam of energy leaves her blaster but she misscalculated for the Droid to turn soo fast and the shot misses by a fracture slamming into the hangar door. The two Jawas by her side screams and darts off in different directions along the street, and the Meat on a Stick mechant ducks down by her stand. <"By the alor!"> Khe curses under her breath.

<Combat> B1 - BattleDroid (4020)'s attack hits Khe Cust at a 100 difficulty! (22)

<Combat> B1 - BattleDroid2 (22344)'s attack misses Aejin at a 100 difficulty! (-75)

+ You take 22 wound points. Updated status: Injured.

[Khe Cust] B1 who is inside the hangar watches it's master fall to the ground and directly without regards to the mechanics levels it's blaster and fires, beams of light strikes into the crates around Aejin. B2 outside, who was about to turn and was just missed by a blaster, levels it's rifle back along the street and shoots, hitting Khe in the mid section leaving a nice memory of its and her crossing paths as it cuts through the light armor and sears the flesh underneath.


Aejin puts on his Mandalorian Dreadfinder Armor - 21655.

Aejin flicks the safety into place on his G.A. R-40 Stun Net - 16734 and then lowers it from a threatening position.

Aejin quickly unholsters his Modified "Enforcer" 48 - 9640, the ballistic pistol's safety being switched off in one smooth motion.

[�ATTACK� ( +29)] Khe Cust's Czerka Holdout hits B1 - BattleDroid (4020). <13 WP/1 SP>

[Aejin] Behind the relative safety of the cover presented by the crates, Aejin takes his time in readying the Enforcer. He pulls it smooth from its holster, ensures that it's safety is switched over to Not Safety, and waits a moment. The eruption of blaster fire was to be expected, so when the lancing blaster bolts begin colliding with the crates and the general vicinity all around him, he simply holds tight. During the pause, he shifts to one knee and readies himself to move. When the next salvo comes, peppering the crates and surrounding area with deadly blaster fire, he finally rises up. The Enforcer is held between both hands as he begins to sidestep, presenting a moving target as he begins laying down his own return fire at the battle droid which has leveled its focus on himself. His golden armor catches the flashes of blaster fire, presenting the shining surface with a tinge of scarlet red.

His golden armor catches the flashes of blaster fire, presenting the shining surface with a tinge of scarlet red. The hangar becomes a place of deafening sound. The blasters alone created ample sound, but when the Enforcer begins to roar, it certainly makes itself known. A trio of resounding booms erupts within the hangar as the barrel of the slugthrower hovers over the center mass of the battle droid. - B1 - BattleDroid2 (22344) has taken 30 points of wound damage. It is currently Injured.

+ Aejin takes 8 wound points. Updated status: Injured. <Mandalorians-OOC> Tara Sur will remember you as you lived + You take 16 wound points. Updated status: Injured.

[Khe Cust] It's like in the Outer Rim, Khe facing down the barrel of a blaster as she fires her own blaster towards B2. Shots are traded and where hers strikes true in the chest of the B2 his strikes the ground just next to her feet. Khe dives into cover by the meat on a stick cart and takes aim once more. <"Damn that Droid is tough"> She hisses in Mando'a over the comms. At this point people on the street is clearing out, the Jawas are nowhere to be seen and the woman by the cart, which Khe is hiding doesnt seem all that happy about her being there. B1 continues to blast the crates in which Aejin is hiding behind. "Show yourself" Finaly B1 manages to strike the armored Mandalorian but to no major impact, just as B2 strikes the shoulder of the covering Khe Cust

[Aejin] The blaster bolt strikes the golden armored Mandalorian in the shoulder, rocking him as he sidesteps through the hangar. As he begins to cross out from behind the cover of the crates, the Enforcer continues to roar its dominance over this particular battlefield. The blaster bolts fly around him as the Mandalorian begins to advance on the battle droid, two more rounds fired from the Enforcer and dropping the first one with another pair of well placed shots. As the battle droid falls with a clang of metal and shower of sparks, Aejin's stance shifts and again the weapon is brought between his two hands. He levels it, aims it, steadies it, and finally the final explosion from the barrel of the slugthrower screams from the weapon as another round is placed into the back panel of the second battle droids armor plating. With the droid so focused on his partner, Khe Cust, it had never saw it coming.

<<"Clear?">>, Aejin's voice carries through the comm channel. He begins to shift, taking in another survey of the hangar, seeking additional threats. Only a brief glance is given to the Rodian wrapped up in the stun net, laying unconscious.

[Khe Cust] The Female mechanic is the first of the two that appears as the gunfire ends. "That scrap is ours." she says with a nervous tone to her voice as she licks her lips. The salvage of two battledroids will go along way for her and her brother. Khe scrambles up from her hiding place, she holsters the Czerka and reaches one hand up towards her shoulder and grits her teeth behind her helmet. She manages to stand atleast but it's clear she is worse for wear. Her armor did little to nothing to save her from the power of the droids blasters. <"Clear *cough*"> She limps her way over towards the Hangar doors and leans on the doorpost and nods her head slowly. <"Mission accomplished?"> she eyes the stunned Rodian on the floor and the destroyed droids.


[Aejin] <"That was our deal,"> Aejin answers back at the female mechanic. It seems he fully intended to honor their arrangement. He makes no move to prevent access to the battle droids, but instead begins to approach the stunned Rodian. Through their shared comm, Aejin offers a shallow nod of his helmet as he speaks, <<"I know someone who can patch you up. Don't know his prices, but I doubt he'll charge you a hefty fee. You are vod,">>. Aejin then lifts a hand to gesture toward Khe Cust, the gloved fingers shifting to aim two toward the unconscious Rodian. This time he speaks to Khe, but through his vocoder, likely for the benefit of the mechanic's hearing, <"Cover me while I get the acquisition ready for transport. Let's get on the move, so we don't bother these people any longer."> Aejin resets the safety on his Modified "Enforcer" 48 - 9640, sliding the slugthrower back down into its holster.

[Khe Cust] Khe nods her head slowly as she places a hand on the handle of the blaster in her holster, as she remains by the entrance of the hangar, her attention moving between anything that moves as Aejin prepares the aquisition for transport. <"Let them keep the speeder in exchange for the finders fee. Perhaps they can give us a ride to the guild for transport aswell."> she offers over the comm with a strained tone to her voice.

The two mechanics doesnt get in the way, they are currently busy trying to pull the two ruined droids into their shop for salvage.
