Corellia - 1800 Hours

Orion Shattou would be leaning against a stack of boxes on the docks in the lower Coreillian district by the harbour. The Miraluka would have a cigarra hanging out if his mouth in the corner and letting the force flow through him as he could map out the entire area and those walking around like a painted picture. Every detail, every nook and cranny. The lack of his site never hinged his ability to see without his eyes. His black and robes fluttered in the wind as the noise of the busy harbor rung out in the air. Machinery engines firing up and loading equipment. Workers and public personnel strolling around to their business. Orion was waiting for another Sith named @Zarine Bashere . A lot of cargo was being pushed through the port and it was a good way to dive in and see what the black market is dealing with and moving around, Just simple info that could be used to benefit the Sith cause.


A tip was given to Orion that some big drug pushes come through the port every so often, spreading the cargo out across the planet and bringing in some decent amount of credits. Orion was curious to know what he could find out, he wasn't interested in getting into it to deep but rather skim the surface so he can get some sort of idea..a taste test of sort. The smoke billowed out the end of his cigarra as he let his hand come up from the inner of his robe and tap the smokes ashes onto the ground. His lightsaber hilt was tight to his hip and hidden beneath his robes in case of any trouble. A weird smirk on his face as his he had no real acre to hide his dark aura that sort of creeped on people when they came near him. He was quiet but monotone. His muscular figure hard to pinpoint underneath his robe.

He was lucky that Zarine was joining him. He wasn't the "Sneaky" type to get information out of people or network. He never met Zarine but was told she was good at exactly that. Something Orion would take note of and take some lessons out of if he was lucky. Its all good to be able to smash through those who oppose you and kill them mercilessly, but to network and know the movements of those around you and their intentions is even better to get you into a position and a better advantage. He took another drag of his cigarra and exhaled under his breath as he spoke to himself..

"She should be here anytime.."

Zarine hadn't spent much time on Corellia, she could probably count on the fingers of her hands the number of times she had been this deep into the Galactic Core. But she didn't feel particularly out of place. Once you ignored the superficial details, every planet had some similarities that could put someone like Zarine very much at ease. The way people moved about their business, the way they ignored those they considered beneath them, and the way you could use that to move about almost unnoticed. She was just another beggar here, dressed in her ragged cloak, hood pulled up as some protection against the elements. On Serenno it had been the heat of the desert, here it was the likelihood of rain.

As unknown as she was here, she could easily have come dressed differently, even walked about openly, but she liked her anonymity. And you never knew whose eyes you might accidentally catch. No, her anonymity was her greatest strength, and she was not going to lose it out of carelessness.

Walking through the spaceport, she spotted the man she recognized as her contact. She hadn't met him before, but she was in the business of knowing things, and had spent some time scoping out the spaceport and had identified him from the description she had been given. Miraluka were pretty rare, and though the bandages wrapped around his eyes could have been mere coincidence, the Force gave confirmation enough that it was him.

Approaching the man, moving with the crowd and not really catching anyone's eyes, though he probably sensed her approach before she came to a stop under the shade of a structure behind him and acting as if adjusting her cloak to better wrap it around her. "Orion?"

Orion Shattou would be enjoying his cigarra and having the occasional dap of the ash onto the ground. Most people mistaken him for a blind human and never gave him much attention. Smart enough people would figure something is different about the young Miraluka, but it seems those are rare to find these days. It never took long before a pitter patter of drops to collect onto the ground and the clouds came closing in to set the harbor under a grey box of rain. Orion would finish his cigarra as he was approached by a young woman. She dressed poor, like a beggar of sorts. It blended in among the crowd. If it weren't for Orion depending on the force to sense those around him and their energies and only had to use actual eyes he would've mistaken her for a poor citizen. Shifting his head towards her as it seemed like with a blindfold on he could be looking past her or directly at her. His weird creepy smirk still on his face as his voice was monotone but stern with a twist.

"
Zarine."

Seems like they needed to repeat one anothers names to confirm their identity. He would shift his head back towards the front of them as he felt the rain descend down on them both. "
There's a group of Rodians that seem to be pushing a lot of..material..through these ports." he would reach within his robes to grab the metal case again and withdraw a cigarra. Bringing it up to his lips and lighting it under his hood from protection of the rain. He took a long inhale as he continued "I'm not to sure where that currency ends up but i'm thinking it might tie into the syndicate." It was a hunch, nothing concrete. But the way of the Sith Eternal were to lay low and investigate. Drawing attention to their motives and lashing out would have themselves killed or have shown their hand to those in the galaxy against them. His smirk still splayed on his face as he turned his head across the port to a small cantina were most thugs around the ports would hang out, gamble and trade information for currency. Shifting his weight under his robes and looking back infront of him he would end off before walking towards the cantina, intending for her to follow with a simple hand gesture. The smoke of his cigarra trailing him.

"
The people coming in and out of this port dealing with that Rodian crew don't seem to be to concerned with their business in the open eye, that kind of confidence is giving me a sense it's something much bigger then a standard small gang that we're dealing with. Come, lets get inside and see what information or trouble we can find." He would smirk with his cigarra hanging at his lips.

Zarine sent a brief pulse f recognition and acknowledgement through the Force to her associate, letting him know that it was indeed her. With that out of the way, she listened quietly as he spoke, the gears already spinning as she began thinking of ways to use the information he had shared. By the time he began walking towards the cantina, something resembling a plan was already taking shape. They needed information, and she knew just how to maximize their opportunities to do that.

Walking a few steps behind him, staying within earshot, she would ultimately peel off as he was about to reach the front door of the cantina. I'll see you inside. The words would blossom in his head as she made her way around the cantina to enter from the employee's entrance at the rear of the establishment. Stepping from the rain, she'll push back her hood and stand at the entrance taking in the surroundings. There were but a handful of beings in the kitchen, most too busy to notice her. But a young Bothan woman did take notice, and approached her with a scowl.

"What do you want?" She asked brusquely, and Zarine dipped a little into the Force to touch her mind a she replied. "My sister said you had work, that ya needed a server. Needed pretty girls?"

A few of the cooks curiously turned to look their way, but she had her focus on the Bothan. "That I do, but do you even know how to serve tables? Look like a beggar to me."

Zarine pressed harder with the Force, layering it on as she shrugged off the cloak, the slip figure it revealed helping with the influence she was trying to paint on the Bothan's mind. "Give me a shot, please. I won't let you down."

At that very moment one of the cooks lay down a table, calling out for a ready order. The Bothan looked from her to the plate, and finally relented under Zarine's telepathic touch. "Very well, take that order out to the Devaronians out front. If you last the night without screwing up you've got a job."

Not waiting to give her an opportunity to change her mind, Zarine moved to pick up the plate and entered the cantina. It was easy enough to spot the Devaronians, and once she had handed them their dinner, she wandered over to the table Orion would have been seated at by now.

"Hello luv, what can I get ya?"

He'd identify her voice, and though the accent was different, it would still be identifiable as her.

Orion Shattou would feel her energy pulsate for a secondary measurement that she was Zarine, he never doubted as his reliability to be one with the force was more then the average species. He felt her begin to use her energy to channel within herself as he figured she was up to something as he moved. It was only seconds before he heard her trail off "I'll see you inside." and with that she vanished into the crowd walking in different directions. He felt her energy trail off behind the cantina and in the back. Orion would take a inhale of his cigarra and flick it with his mouth to dap the ash on the ground as he let the hood of his robes protect it from being soaked by the oncoming rain. Orion making his way to the front only to be stopped by two grisly looking men, humans, bolding scars and rough unshaven stubble. They stood just under his height but were unphased at the blind Miraluka approaching them as one finally spoke after letting his hand lower to stop the Sith.

"
Whats your business?"

Orion's creepy smirk would be unmoved as he responded in his stern, monotone voice "
I'm here to sell my ship to some Rodians." letting the force seep into their minds to persuade them as they seemed all bronze and no brains. It took a few seconds before the one doing all the talking to give in. "Alright, but don't be any trouble.". With that Orion would walk between them as they shifted to the side to let him pass. As he walked by he would say his monotone voice with his smirk "I'm blind, i'm harmless as it gets." before continuing into the front of the cantina. Feeling the force and flow, Orion would map out the entire room in seconds, peoples movements, physical traits, details. The beautiful thing of Miraluka was they only took seconds to pick up the room compared to someone with eyes who needed to rely on both the force and their eyes to scope out the place.

Taking another inhale of his cigarra he would find a booth and take a seat aslet the smoke exhale and rise over his face and hood. Finally out of the rain he would lower it and relax a bit. It only took minutes before Zarine approached him, he caught her energy in seconds as his smirk still stayed the same. "Whiskey..Coreillian." his usual. Letting his hand raise to remove the cigarra and tap it on the glass ash tray on the table before putting it back in the corner of his mouth. Zarine was good, more then the average joe. She blended in well, smart and always thinking ahead. She was definitely a force to reckon with in the infiltration and intelligence side of things.

"You got it!"

Zarine replied to Orion's order, hurrying off to the bar and picking up his order from the bartender. Given his complete indifference to a new face like her's helping out around the bar she assumed new hires weren't a rare occurrence here. Good, she didn't have to worry about any regulars wondering who she was. As she walked back to Orion, she scanned the room, spotting the Rodians seated off to the back of the cantina.

"Here you go luv." She placed the drink on Orion's table as she said so, but what the remaining patrons would not know was that the conversation continued beyond that as Zarine reached out to him through the Force. Your friends are over in the back. What's the play here? I can bug them if you want to follow them, or get them drunk enough to loosen their lips a little. Your call.

Both options would be easy enough to pull off, now that she could walk around the cantina with some freedom. Slipping something onto one of them, or ensuring their drinks were much stronger than they wanted or expected. But she wanted to see how her Miraluka acquaintance wanted to handle this. And maybe his choices would help her understand him a little better.

Orion Shattou would watch through the force as she hurried off to fetch his order from the bartender and make her way after a moment of the bartender mixing the drink and handing it off. Orion would nod to her as he grasped the glass and took a slow sip with his blindfold tight to his face and his creepy smirk still splattered across it. Feeling the force connect with him he would hear Zarines options in regards to how to deal with them. Letting his mind tap back into hers he would be sipping on his drink "To many witnesses around here..If they blab they might attract others attentions to this operation..Bug them and see if we can get them somewhere secluded." His voice was cold and monotone as he set the glass down on the table. The hustle and bustle of the cantina of chatter and cards was enough to deafen you if somebody lost a good poker hand and was outraged or others in debate over the latest politics. Orion would reach down and retrieve another cigarra as he pushed it to his lips after tapping the metal case and lit it.

Letting the force keep an eye on the group he would pick up the blasters concealed on their hips and one seemed to have another down by his ankle. Inhaling the smoke Orion would plot them out in his mind before exhaling and taking another drink. Every now and then when someone entered the cantina the thunderous downpour of rain could be heard when the door was open and slowly fade out as the door shut the noise out. It seemed like a absolute storm was coming in. Nothing unusual for a kriffin' place like Corellia. Letting the cigarra stick to the corner of his lips he would down his whiskey and wait for Zarines move.
