Catch a glimpse

Hosnian Prime. Just your casual Coruscant knock-off. The Hosnian system had made decent headway in the core after some reformations to the planets government in recent years. Usually known as a vacation location for the well endowed, it was now viewed as a gateway for up and coming senators to practice their professions. Even the sight of major banks and companies known galaxy wide. It was one of many stops on the way to the outer rim for Biggs.
Following the Corellian Trade Spire until it turned into the Rimma Trade Route was probably the easiest way to get to the Outer Rim short of carving his own path out of unexplored or possibly dangerous hyper space travel routes. The barge vessel docked into one of the high ports floating above the city for passengers to get out, stretch their legs, enjoy a view. Biggs however wasn't here for the scenery, just a simple change of flights, but nothing was ever that simple for him. He was a masked droid in a highly populated planet deep in the core worlds, the place seemed to have very little underground exchanges for him to escape to if needed. He had to rely on his self here. Luckily the mask that he took made him look like a merc, and it hid his droid face. He wasn't proper enough to pass off as one of the servants and not nearly fleshy to pass off as organic.
Crowds of people rushed by making it easier to blend in. It seemed as though the Hosnians wanted to keep classes separate, not to the point of Taris where sealing everyone you considered beneath you, beneath you was the norm, but enough to where those that looked like they were workers or Mercs had to take a freight elevator down to the sub levels to avoid interactions with regular bystanders.
A womans voice came over the intercom of the elevator, show casing all of Hosnian Primes accomplishments, welcoming everyone to the planet and what not. The message was repeated in a slew of different languages before final touch down on the sub levels where the Markets met the streets. Another planet, another new way of scheming money to buy a ticket off the planet.

Why was she again? Reconnaissance? Making sure 'Sith didn't infiltrate this bastion of freedom and democracy'? Yes, that was why. Emil was beginning to wonder if the Jedi Order simply wanted to get rid of her, but was too nice to say so or send her to warzones. Have to keep that moral superiority strong! Emil had been here for a week, out of the two she was told to stay here, and she could already tell that there was no Sith presence. Unfortunately, her holocommunicater was broken. Not her fault, but broken none the less. Now she simply went through the stores of this....very prissy planet, looking for a gift for Prudii.

She realized she had no idea on what Prudii would want. Weapons? That would look strange, a Jedi buying a blaster. Armor? Excusable but Prudii seemed to like his set of Mandalorian armor, perhaps a little too much.

She getting no where fast. Prudii didn't come of as the type who enjoyed who liked getting clothes, no matter how bad he needed new ones. Nor did he seem to be the type who settled down long enough to play a game of Pazaak. Still it gave Emil something to do.

Noting the docking barge vessel, with the usual assortment of scum and seedy fellows, Emil used the force to sense any malice in the barge, finding nothing was worth confronting. She sighed, going back to gift shopping. She made no attempt to hide her lightsaber, figuring it was both a good deterrence and ray of hope.

Biggs walked aimlessly through the crowded streets. Hoping to find some way of scrounging enough money to buy a ticket that will get him closer to the outer rim. A few pickpockets weren't enough this time around, all he was coming up with was just some random credit chips that could hardly afford a drink, now that he could or want to drink but it was an analogy nonetheless.
Passing shop after shop looking for someone to work for or steal from he came up empty handed. Right up until he spotted it. Something he had never seen before, something that was unique in every way shape and form, and something that looked powerful... A lightsaber hilt, dangling off the waist of some girl pursing wares at a gift shop. He had to take the lightsaber, he had to see what it was like to hold one. But was this Sith or Jedi? He knew nothing about either culture but for this is did not matter. Biggs assumed she was a Jedi because of the Planet they were on, however it could be a Sith masquerading as a Jedi?
Walking through the crowd of people trying to stay hidden beneath his cowl he got as close as he could to her without being noticed and reached for the lightsaber, making swift contact he grasped his hand around it and pulled it off the Jedi's belt, thinking she wouldn't notice. He couldn't believe he had gotten the lightsaber so easily. Looking at it for just a second he reveled in the beauty of it. Something so pure, yet so dangerous. All of a sudden his thumb clicked over the blades ignition and the saber turned to life in the crowd. He held it above his head, almost cutting his own arm off because he had no skills with the saber at all. The crowded street jumped back in horror, everyone now looking at him. He couldn't do anything at the moment except drop the lightsaber to the ground and run.

 

[Gaiaverse]

How? How in the....no matter. While looking through a catalog of boyish things, 'action figures', holobooks and the like, someone managed to snatch her main lightsaber off her belt without her noticing. Of course, instead of running off while he could, either selling the lightsaber off to the highest bidder or other ulterior reasons, he decided to activate it. Mistake or not, the distinctive sound and hum of a lightsaber activating was all Emil needed to turn around, scanning the area.

She noticed a man, who seemed to be in heavy armor, run through the ground, hoping to get away.

"Stop!" Emil yelled, grabbing her lightsaber and running after the man in one swift motion. Her tone was authoritative but not intimidating.

Biggs has messed up big time, he was stranded on a foreign planet in the middle of a crowded street, and the Jedi was presumably chasing after him. He did stop to look back. He ran as hard as his legs would allow, pushing through everyone in his way. He finally turned a corner to see that the adjacent street was nearly empty, so he was able to break out into a full on sprint. He withdrew his blaster rifle from his cloak and raised it in the air and squeezed the trigger, blasting off a couple rounds the street quickly dispersed behind cover. A large fountain was up ahead, the walls keeping the water in where three feet tall, Biggs quickly hopped into the fountain splashing around a bit and then jumping out of the other side. With the street clear he had a good vantage point of the street so he could see everything that moved. He positioned himself behind the other side of the round fountain with his hands planted firmly on the blaster rifle. He set the barrel on the fountain wall to steady his aim. He waited to see if anyone had followed him. Hopefully not but he had to make sure. Running from a Jedi was sure to be impossible, and probably fighting a Jedi would be a similar problem.

The man did not stop his rabid attempt to escape from Emil. He pushed past many bystanders, knocking several to the ground and soon began to fire into the crowd at Emil. She blocked most of them with her saber, attempting to make them fly harmlessly to the sky. "Don't do this!" She said, continuing her dash, occasionally using the force to speed herself up.

She follows him into the fountain, the crowds now screaming as wounded citizens dragged themselves away from the action. She entered a Djem So stance. "Don't do this, mate" She pleaded, keeping her distance from the man, unsure if he was a Sith agent or a common thug.

 

[Biggs]

"I... I don't want any trouble Forcer. But if you step any closer I will shoot. I don't know if you're a Sith or a Jedi but I have no qualms with either faction. Just let me get off this planet."

All of sudden several police vehicles came into sight over head, surrounding the duo standing off on the street.

'Stand down! You are Completely surrounded!'

 

[Gaiaverse]

Emil sighed, still maintaining her stance, not moving an inch in hopes of not spooking the gunman. It seemed he was not a Sith agent, through he could lying, but his rather panicked demeanor put a damper in that theory.

"Listen I'm not..." She began before being interrupted by a rather loud and authoritarian police officer. She looked at the officer, keeping her stance expect for the occasional stretch to prevent blood clots. "Officer, I am Padawan Emilgotha of the Jedi Order. I believe the council should of told you of my mission" She said, smiling "I...I believe this man is simply desperate for cash." She continued, looking at the man.

"I seriously doubt he has any serious malice meant in his actions. It's more likely he was trying....to steal my lightsaber to sell it or something..." She said, embarrassed"

 

[Biggs]

There was no where to run or hide in this place, he was on his own with nowhere to go. Biggs raised his blaster rifle above his head and walked out into the line of sight of everyone. He was able to catch a good glimpse at this Jedi. He looked at her up and down analyzing the forcer. She seemed quite capable of handling her own, and Biggs didn't want to fight her.

"I'll cooperate..."

 

[Gaiaverse]

Nodding, Emil deactivated her lightsaber, motioning for one of the police officers to put binders on the man. She crossed her arms, looking around to make sure the man did not have brave, and foolish, buddies. Coughing she looked to the head officer.

"If you would like, I can take him to the station" She said.

 

[Biggs]

The police officer new not to get in the way of Jedi and their business. He was just a low level cop, but he also new that the Core Worlds seemed to need the Jedi, hell the entire galaxy probably needed them. He nodded, placing the cuff links on Biggs he handed the humanoid droid over to the Jedi hoping to forget all about this ridiculous day.
