[Hutt mission] Once, Twice... Sold

[Skyway]

30
Mission Name: On the Catwalk
Location: Mechis III
Details: A new line of droid models, assault class, are being exhibited at the Chronus Tech exhibition tonight. An exclusive feature of all droids will be presented at a dinner showing, special invitation only. There will be an auction for the different lines of models, sold separately. Then there will be an after party to celebrate the lucky buyers and their new acquisitions. Pauli Feerah, Sharon Le'Tai, and Reetha Hawl are all expected to clean house with their bids. They also are known for wearing a lot of clothes: hats, glasses, scarves, and coats that show off their wealth but not their faces.
Goal: Swipe an invitation or three on the way to the dinner and take their places. Pauli Feerah, Sharon Le'tai, and Reetha Hawl are the best candidates to replace. Bid their moneys, claim their prizes, and smuggle the droids out the back before anyone notices your scheme. They'll sell for a fine price and maybe make a good gift for an alliance. Don't forget to dress to the nines.
Participants: 1-3
Pay: Whatever you loot. Plus 70,000 Cr
Additional Notes: Don't kill any of the three targets and don't get caught. We want to return here as buyers soon.

Welcome to another Chronus Tech exhibition. Tonight is very specials night indeed, we will be showing a new line of droids but what better than assault class. That right, these droid will guard or shot anything you want them too. Neat. There will also be a special only invitation dinner to go along with the biding and to top it all off, there will also be celebrate party to the lucky buyers on our treat. We, Chronus Tech wish the buyers the best of luck and happy biding…


Mechis III, a planet of smoky, rocky, and volcanic serves as one of the few places that manufacturers droids at high rates. Chronus Tech, a company on Mechis lll will be doing their yearly exhibition of droids. Three hutt catel agents will be to switch with a candidate and bid their money, over and over and leave. But the kicker is that no one can be killed and we can’t be caught.

“Simple, nothing can go wrong”, Zorro mumbled to himself “Kriff”.

The Hapan leaned on the cantina bar top drinking a little rum to pass the time. Durara, Zorro remote droid slowly float around his master. Zorro was waiting for two others at a cantina near the exhibition. He was to meet a Sephi mix and a Weequay here for the plan. Zorro never work with them before though he just perm join the cartel but what he heard that all their skills will work well together on this mission. The Hapan took another swing of rum before letting out a sigh.

Skyye looked out at the landscape of Mechis III as he shut down and locked up his freighter; it certainly looked...dirty...definitely not his kind of world. His inherent distaste for droids didn't help much either...the way he saw things, droids were a waste of space and time. And here he was, on a planet where they got mass produced in the hundreds of thousands, with enough noxious fumes erupting from these foundries to choke a whole army.

Lovely. He'd rather be almost anywhere else.

But he wouldn't have come here if he wasn't needed; he had heard from his informers that the Hutts were interested in getting a hold of what this "Chronus Tech" had to offer up at this auction, and it would involve trading places with actual bidders. Creating believable disguises and helping others enter into anonymity were Skyye's strong points, and his talents would be invaluable in order for them to successfully get the droids without raising suspicion. Indeed, he had already dressed impeccably well for the occasion, his hair slicked back, his dress clothes pressed and cleaned...even his face seemed a fraction less strange than it normally looked. All in all, he was quite ready for this little event...and as long as something interesting happened, he would enjoy every second of it.

He had heard that he was supposed to meet his associates at a cantina near where the exhibition was being held. A Hapan and a Weequay, whose description fit that of someone he had already worked with once before. Ah well, reunions were always fun and such...hopefully they wouldn't spend too much time on the pleasantries. He would much prefer to get the game started before it was too late.

Skyye slipped quietly into the cantina, scanning the area with his exotically-hued purple eyes a time or two before noticing a Hapan that matched the description he was given. He practically slid over to him as he smiled his eerie smile: "You are the man I'm looking for, perhaps?"

 

[Kentast]

Stepping off the freighter, Cardin was downright slapped in the face by the conditions of Mechis III. The planet was home to many different foundries and factories that produced the galaxies droids. So many in fact, that the smog that spewed forth from the factories would choke anyone not used to it. This was Cardin's first visit.

"Shee-" The mercenary began before the smoke hit his throat, making him cough a bit. After deciding that this planet was the biggest hellhole he had ever been on, he hurried back inside his freighter to grab his helmet. Walking back down the ramp a second time, he actually took in the sights; this time through the better viewpoint of a visor. After satisfying his curiosity, Cardin began walking forward. The Weequay was here on a mission: He was to infiltrate a droid exhibition under the guise of a wealthy bidder, and use their money to purchase a new assault droid being sold courtesy of Chronus Tech. Cardin wasn't alone, thankfully; he was headed for a meeting with two other agents with the same agenda, one of which he had previously worked with.

The cantina he was to meet his fellow operatives at was actually conveniently close to the exhibition. As Cardin walked down the street, he took note of the advertisements for the exhibition, showing a picture of a very menacing droid with the starting price tag under it. He filed that into the back of his mind as he entered the cantina. Looking around, he saw the place was populated enough, but he could make out the men he was looking for by the counter. Approaching the pair, he removed his helmet, and gave a nod to Skyye before leaning on the counter. "So how about that droid?" he smirked, using the statement to ask if this was indeed the meeting while also asking for their gameplan.

[ooc:sry internet stuff]

Placing the cup down, Zorro monition the cantina keeper he had off. The Hapan sat on the stool below him and lean back with both arm hold him up off the bar table. His remote droid still slowly float around him. The lightly was dim to Zorro, for the Hapan dim to darkness can be blindness for him. Zorro close his eyes for a rest but still had alert with ears.

The moment as Zorro close his eyes, a voice came across him. He reopens his eyes and saw a Sephi of sorts with an eerie smile stood before him. Zorro answered the Sephi “Aye, I thee. Order cheap, on me as we wait for our other companion.”

A minute or three pass and Zorro remain silent the whole time while he waited for the other mate. A man with a helmet approach him and the Sephi. Zorro motion one of his index finger to Durara in case he was an enemy. The man or better the Weequay removed his helmet. The last of the trio as showed up.
“Oh, don’t mind him he harmless,” Zorro gave a thump point to Durara and smile to the Weequay. Zorro knew it was code. The Hapan step forward and wave the two to follow him. He lead them to a back table away from the noise. He wave his hand as a suggestion to sit down.

Zorro flop down onto the seat “I’m Zorro Feather” he points to the remote droid, “and that Duara.”
The Hapan let out a sigh "Know about the plan."

 

[Kaane]

Skyye looked at the Hapan curiously; it was a strange accent/speech pattern combination he was sporting...it was certainly colorful, if anything. He'd listen to him; he could always use such an exotic way of speaking to add believability to some of his disguise personas...

He nodded as the Hapan finished replying, saying "Lovely" as he ordered nothing, not being much of a drinker. Then it appeared that the third member of their party was coming in; the Weequay he had worked with once before. He followed them to the table and sat as far as he possibly could from the droid called Duara...he was paranoid around them for some reason even he couldn't explain. There had to be some technical term...Droidophobia, perhaps?

The Hapan introduced himself and Skyye followed suit, though there was no need to do so for the Weequay. And then, they got down to business.

"Know about the plan," said the Hapan with a sigh. Skyye smiled; he had made extensive preparations for the initial phases of the mission, as he always did. "Yes indeed," he replied. "all we must do is take the identies of these three bidders in the auction going on next door...they were called Pauli Feerah, Sharon Le'tai, and Reetha Hawl I believe...all of them are at least near-human thankfully, so they will be easy to impersonate. Then we bid for the droids with their money and leave...quite simple."

 

[Kentast]

Cardin took his seat, and got the pleasantries out of the way. He listened intently at the plan as it was laid out; it sounded good until the last bit was revealed: the bidders were all near human, and that would make it very hard on Cardin to disguise himself.

"I'm not very human looking myself." he began, making his regular scan of the cantina's surroundings as he spoke. "Not much for disguises either, but I could make it work if one of the bidders is into heavy clothing, or masks. Come to think of it, I could meet one of them along the way, and take them out of the equation." Cardin finished, letting his sight land on the tables. He sorely hoped they would go for him taking down one of the bidders; disguises made his skin crawl, but he could make it happen under the right circumstances.

 

[Skyway]

Zorro lean back in his seat listening to the mission by Skyye. Than Cardin problem about not being near human as the bidders were. Zorro waited until Skyye was done talking before going in with his overall plan.

“Ok, mates. This is how I see it going though you on the right path Skyye. And no Cordin, we can’t off them.” The Hapan took a deep breath before adding “unless they give us trouble.” Zorro rub his face down as a stretch. “Sadly I hear one of our bidders is ready inside the exhibition. So that leaves the two.” Zorro points to Skyye, “First you doll yourself up or two and with Durara. He program with a stun laser. So when you say stun, he will keep shooting until the victim down. Once the bidder down I switch places with one of them and if we get hold of the other one Skyye will switch too.”

Zorro pause to make sure the other two got it before continuing, “Know Cardin, your part is little but important. You will be an acting guard in back stage for one to make sure we have little trouble and two pushing the droids in line for easy outing.” Zorro look back at Skyye, “Know if only I go in myself, you’re going to help Cardin by transporting the droids to a ship. One of yours I hope. If both Skyye and I go in your be on your own Cardin, unless Skyye wish not to go under cover.”

Zorro scan the pair, “That about it, we bid and leave as said. The bidders may or may not have a droid accounted follow them. If so take it out fast so no data on us.”

 

[Kaane]

He kept up his smile as Zorro relayed the plan, yet he began to sweat in nervousness. He truly did hate droids...using them, talking to them, even giving such a simple command as "Stun." He had barely accepted the mission when he was offered it...he was only in it for the prestige and credits. He nodded and laughed nervously as he adjusted the magnum holster on his chest, "Can't you say stun? Seriously...I'll probably say "Fun" or something and the droid'll kill me...haha...but...umm...otherwise i'm good with switching places. When I'm through with you and I we'll both look practically the same as our targets."

"That's about it, we bid and leave as said." said Zorro as they finished up their discussion. Thank heavens...he hated being seated at the same table as that damned droid...

"Alright then," Skyye replied. "Lead the way and you say Stun, not me. I'll take down whatever droid they have with them," he said as he tapped the sleek, thin blaster rifle he had slung on his back underneath his clothing. He then got up, waiting for Zorro to lead the way as he seemed to know where the bidders were.

 

[Kentast]

Putting his helmet back on, he rose from the table the criminals had been planning at. Many a time had Cardin risen from the dirty table of a cantina with a surefire path to mission completion.. This time he was even surer; he knew Skyye, and had at least skimmed the information given to him about Zorro. All in all, he thought they were pretty well off. In reality, that would remain to be seen.

Cardin fell in behind his fellow agents, it was time to begin. Zorro's remark worried him little as they walked. If a bidder truly endangered the mission, then he would die. Simple as that. The victory for Cardin was the payday, not his moral example. The thing that bothered him was Zorro's explanation of the plan. His strange speech pattern actually took the Weequay a second to understand, if he even did. Apparently he was to go backstage, and act as a guard to transport the droids. If both of his compatriots made it inside he was on solo droid transport. If not then he had a friend to watch his back. Alone or not, his mission was droid duty.

"I'll get the droid, just make sure it's paid for" he said as they made there way of the cantina, and into the streets. At this point it was Zorro's lead, and he waited on his direction.

 

[Skyway]

Zorro stood form his seat. The Hapan replied Skyye comment not wanting to work with Durara, “fine, I’ll take your spot to stun our targets.” This slightly changes his plan as he wanted to stay out of the spot light as much as he can until he had too.
“Wait, Cardin will take your spot. If that ok with you Cardin?” Zorro idea switch and with his idea it be better for a Weequay with a helmet or a mask to act as a docking guard than him or Skyye. And if there is trouble, the Weequay can easily handle it.

The Hapan turn and started out of the cantina to head to the hanger where they would meet their first target. The others close behind him.
Zorro nodded to Cardin, “That the fun part as we be using the targets money to pay for anything.” He turned to Skyye, “Do the best with the makeup.”
“The nice thing about the hanger is that there are little guards patrolling” Zorro add one last tip. He notice this when he came in with the shuttle earlier.

They should get to the hanger in about six minutes than it will be Cardins and Durara job with Skyye help.

 

[Kaane]

Skyye adjusted the strap under his coat, bringing his blaster rifle in front of his body instead of behind it, still concealed by the heavy coat he was wearing; he'd be able to use it more quickly that way in case the hangar they were going to had an entourage that needed to be disposed of. He smiled slyly at Cardin with a slight, high-pitched giggle after Zorro re-explained his plan, considering the Weequay to be a moron for taking on the task with the droid. Everyone knew that droids were planning to take over the galaxy, and here he was, working with one. Oh well, some people just couldn't be helped...when Durara or whatever the devil's name was decided to start "stunning" people, he'd see the error of his ways.

He looked at the hangar as they came within view of it, noting a few side exits that he'd take if necessary. He reached under his coat and flipped off the safety from his rifle, switching it to automatic firing mode as well. He'd be ready for anything that could be through that door. Including the damned droid.

 

[Kentast]

After shrugging off Skyye's giggle, Cardin scanned the hangar they were in. That man could literally be going on about anything. He tried to pick out some important looking people, but other than some rather expensive ships, he couldn't pick out their targets. He decided to keep at the groups back, waiting on Zorro to point the way again as walked behind them both. Cardin dislike the fact that he knew very little about the job other than mission parameters, but there was nothing to be done now. Away from the criminal safety of the cantina, plans were best left remembered than spoken.

{occ: One of you two can npc the victim pls. and sry for slowness.}

He lead the pair into a clean area of the hanger, if you can call it that. There was still smog, rust, and rats. But it was where the VIP/targets most likely will park. The hanger guards were still light if any.

"We look for a heavy dress humanoid, face mostly covered. They be clean and maybe have a droid butler. The droid needs to be destroy and it will record you." Zorro continue down the path, "If there are any living there, than knock them out if able. We are getting pay to try not..." Zorro stopped, "kill."

The Hapan lowered is head slightly, "That one of the targets."

The target wear a pluff golden blue coat with a white top hat and blue scarf warp around the face. The target made his way down the hanger path to the exit. He was alone. They must act fast.
"Skyye add anything to Cardin fast, umm Cardin go."

Zorro did not mean to bark orders but he thought they have more time to get ready thought he should have known better.
The area was clear, they had to act fast before they loose him.

(OOC: I'm doing way too much stuff right now. But I'll RP the victim once you've got him subdued Ken)

Skyye kept his eye on the droid butler that soon followed its master as he nudged Cardin, slinging his blaster assault rifle into his hands "Interecept 'im, he'll probably break into a run once I kill this droid."

He gave Cardin a few seconds to get in position to stun their other target as he leapt into visibility, quickly taking aim at the droid's neck and torso, firing a burst of four shots at the abomination. He would then duck and take cover behind a support beam in case he had missed and/or the droid was armed. But normally his aim was decent...hopefully he'd at least have incapacitated the damned thing. He peeked out from behind the beam to see if it was still functional, shuddering just at the sight of it. Damned droids...he'd burn em all one day. Little plotting numbskulled metal-brained harbingers of evil...
