Zentripoli watched on his viewscreen the rodian and human enter the hotel from within the ZDT-415. The Columi was still tapped into the security feeds—just in case Preef was under duress, but it seemed the rodian had done his job. He walked with a slight limp, so Zentripoli figured he ran into...
There was a reason for every decision that Zentripoli made for jobs like this. The Nevarr Hotel and this particular room were chosen specifically for this “operation” for many reasons: it was centrally located, they commonly did not book rooms on the 28th floor—so Zentripoli booked on the 28th...
Howard Cliffjii’s tongue was wagging as quick as he was able to spit out the words. In truth, to Zentripoli, this human enjoyed his life too much to jeopardize what he had going. He revealed that he had been encouraged by representative of the Drellis Syndicate to run specific stories and not...
The Columi watched as the human started moving and moaning from the grogginess that the sedative imposed. As the realization of his predicament became clear, his eyes widened in abject fear as he stared at the pair of security droids standing in front of him. During his state of unconsciousness...
Part of Zentripoli’s success was remaining anonymous. He did not seek fame, but simply the power and credits that allowed him to accomplish his goals. It was quite fine by him if the Jedi and the Sector Rangers continued to never heat about him. That meant being diligent with his “appearances”...
Whenever Zentripoli did a “job” for his family, the small alien often ran dozens of modeling simulations in order to predict possible outcomes. Sometimes, jobs like this showed a high-risk probability. When the trio began their approach to interrupt the cargo delivery, the Columi thought that...
“Agreeable.”
Zentripoli watched the rodian leave and quickly ran a few model simulations in his head to predict possible outcomes of success for the course of action suggested by the Callo. Many of the models had a high probability of success, so the small Columi chalked one up to the rodian as...
It does not appear it is mere coincidence that the four syndicates, besides Crymorah, would send incompetence incarnate to work alongside me every time the families are forced to cooperate with them. The probability of this being a concerted effort to attempt to annoy me is far too high. I will...
Vara had been called away and indicated she was not going to be able to return. Even more unfortunate was that her affairs were not family related. He didn’t know her that well, but this type of mentality seemed to be predominantly found with humans.
Typical…
The small Columi mentally...
Before loading it on small freighters, most of the spice is stored in depots and put under guard. Now, if you want control of Kessel that means you want its natural resources. Unfortunately for some scoundrels that means they're assaulting a guarded depot in order to claim it for the 4S...
Statistically, Zentripoli knew that most close-quarters engagements were usually over in less than ten standard seconds—this engagement was no different. From the moment hostilities began, actions were taken from the droids of Droid Gotra that put the combat to a quick end. The first volley of...
The smoke had cleared, both physically and mentally. Cestus stood over the fallen battle droid victorious, much like a grand-standing victor. Zentripoli took a moment to finally look at their surroundings as Cestus finished pummeling the fallen foe.
"I want these. Put these on my chassis."...
To the Columi, there were times that witnessing the raw power of a 5th degree droid was a truly awesome thing…this was such a time. Cestus closed the distance with a high vault into the air and came down with the large droid, slamming into it as it tried to raise its remaining Z-6 Rotary Blaster...
As they approached the checkpoint, Pidge was right--going out together seemed to provide the most solid solution for them. Zentripoli let Pidge do the talking and he listened, nodding as appropriate. Her angle was a good one, weaving a bit of misdirection in with mostly truth. When asked for...
Seconds later, amidst the flickering “lightshow”, Zentripoli came up next to Pidge with Porter carrying him the whole time. He simply looked at her and mused, “While perfection in operations such as this would be ideal, they are seldom such. Truth is, if they went off without a hitch and were...
