The captain studied the flight plan, looking for upcoming targets to unload the rest of the cargo on. He was openly disappointed that they wouldn't pass the military academy on this route, that would have been a nice twist of the knife. Still, he couldn't complain too much as right on their...

Things were happening fast enough to make Darius' head spin. Before his trip to Onderon, the clawdite had been a minor player in Zaa Fenn, a mere scoundrel...albeit one with good ideas. ThorneWatch had been his idea, almost starting out as a joke. He and a few others within the KnowOnes had been...

Lucien nodded, and quietly left the room. He made his way to the other end of the liner, passing through the bar on his way. He nodded at his associate, who acted as both a scout to let Lucien know Phineas was on his way, but also as backup just in case things had gone sideways. Together, they...

And there it was. Lucien would be reporting back to some extremely pleased people. "Don't worry, believe it or not, but we do have access to industry professionals. Any Board member would be, truthfully, very competent and qualified for the position," he explained. With that, he stood, grabbed...

By the force, this was one fucking weird recruitment. He tried to maintain an impassive face throughout the Senator's exposition, but here and there bits of mild puzzlement, acceptance, and consideration broke through. He made note of inconsistencies and phrases that seemed to imply that...

Lucien allowed himself a small measure of satisfaction as his transformation had a clear effect on Hawthorne. As then Senator spoke, Lucien wasn't very surprised at the resistance displayed. If the Senator had acquiesced immediately, he'd have been suspicious of some sort of trick. This was a...

As the ships approached the point of no return for customs, the pilot of the Sapphire Grace started to sweat just a little when Mon Cal authorities radioed to them. It was immediately followed by a sigh of relief as the fish heads seemed to change their mind, clearly occupied with bigger...

They were getting somewhere. Phineas had holstered his weapon, and didn't seem to be calling for help or running, so that was progress. "Lucien" lowered his hands, resting them on the rather luxurious armrests. He briefly thought about purchasing one for himself - this model would make long...

An irate and alarmed reaction was something that was expected, given the circumstances. The appearance of a blaster, however, was not as welcome. Truthfully, Darius had expected a threat to call security rather than weapons being drawn. Still, he knew going to this, approaching the Senator in...

When the Crymorah Syndicate wanted something, truly wanted something, they were extremely fast to move. Darius had been on Onderon because of the Senate proceedings because of the almost immeasurable amount of government data being sent about over the holonet. When the Senators chose a planet to...

He couldn't help but grimace as Dbo struggled to gasp for air in an atmosphere that was toxic to him. Suffocation was a painful way to go, and the sounds that the alien was making were horrible to listen to. It was a relief then, that IG-55 suggested putting the poor bastard out of his misery...

Darius had to admit, the droid was certainly an intimidating force - one not to be trifled with. He allowed the Kel Dor a few moments to whimper through the pain of having a shoulder be forcibly dislocated, but only long enough for him to come back into focus. "Write down the information. Of...

Dbo visibly flinched as IG-55 grabbed him, and tried to pull away but to no avail. The droid's grip was as strong as, well, steel. With an audible oomph, he landed on the couch, immediately arcing the side his broken rib was on away from the cushion. "Augh, frak dammit. I have seven hundred...

Vence stood at the public terminal and smiled as he brought up a local map. One of the many benefits to operating on a planet as developed as Coruscant meant that there was a tremendous amount of public information on the local districts and levels, all thanks to the wonderful government whose...

Darius watched as IG-55 went ahead and plugged into the building right away. Droids. He resisted the urge to shake his head. At least he'd be able to make excellent use of the machine's straightforward efficiency. Returning to his screen, the only security of note that he could find in the...

The streets and skyways of Corellia hummed with activity as commuters hurried their way home, to dinner, or to evening shift positions. Glittering lines of airspeeders filled the dimming evening sky like a golden lattice of blinking lights. Darius was not here to sightsee or be a tourist. No...

Vence nodded. It was a fair enough plan - let him do his own thing so Gareth and the Zaa Fenn knew how he operated and what his abilities were, so they knew how they could effectively use and direct him in the future. "That's good for me. If they have an internal security system I can definitely...

In The Cockpit Captain Zemo lounged back in the lead ship of the Relief convoy, entirely comfortable in his position and situation. In the planning phase, it had been understood and discussed that a success would be delaying customs long enough to break atmosphere. Anything more than that...

"Excuse me, are you headed to Ruusan?" "'San? Nah, can't ya read we're headed in the opposite direction." Same story a dozen times over. The spaceport was brimming with ships and captains, but with an entire galaxy full of destinations to pick from, many of them were headed in all different...

25,000 credits? Vence had to admit...he could lay a solid foundation for future work with that amount of cash. "That sounds like the start of a profitable relationship," he replied with a grin. No doubt Gareth was able to arrange transportation from the Cantina. "I'm ready to go if you are" He...
