Major Miners

[Narri Emrour]

Narri sighed as she rocked about in her seat temporarily, feeling the unmistakable lurch of their ship landing. Well they'd arrived then, and it was time to get going. Straightening, the Twi'lek got up from her chair and went about the cabin, gathering her gear. Blasters, lightsaber, knife, the usual essentials were all soon strapped on her belt. In all honestly, she shouldn't need them. This was supposed to be a diplomatic mission after all, a meeting with the leaders of the mining organization. Apparently they were to hear out their issues or whatever, Narri didn't really care about the specifics. Really, she was here mostly on orders and because she had some clout among the Sith now for some reason. Hopefully her partner would be fully willing to do the lions share of the talking.

She certainly had a good partner for that however, working with Cyzyn in this particular venture. From what she'd heard, and her past mission with him, he was a philosophical lizard who would be well suited to any negotiations. He could probably be trusted to say and do the right things, more so than Narri trusted herself. Still, a little booster wouldn't help, just to ensure she got through the day. Stepping closer to one of the cupboards, Narri reached in and extracted a small bag, already excited at the scent her nose caught. Ah, glitterstim was truly a lifesaver sometimes, as it should be considering it was the best of the best stuff. Smiling lightly, the Sith poured a bit into her red palm and leaned in.

When she exited her quarters to join her partner, she was in a visibly better mood, smirking widely and walking with relaxed easy strides. Already she could feel the effects, her mood spiking and the world appearing brighter and happier. Even the force seemed more active, the visible trails of power whirling about her. Raising a hand, Narri flicked one with her palm, barely hiding back her giggle as the action inspired a flash of sparks and colors. Even the dusty boring red of Gromas 16 visible through the viewports did nothing to impact her new mood. She tossed a wave to the Sith Knight as she spoke, "Well we've arrived haven't we? I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long or anything." She tossed a rather wild look outside the ship almost jerking about as she looked for the mine, and then flicked back to Cyzyn. "Should we get going you think?" ​

THEME​

It was not meant to break out into a violent event. But things did not always go according to plan and there were more parties in play than just the miners the Sith were meeting with. For that reason he wore his Drake armor to the event. It increased his height by a few meters, making him firmly stand over two meters in height. The Tiss'shar did not wear his helmet, not at the moment at least. All his regular equipment and cloak covered his form. Holes and ragged tears here and there existed on his cloak. It was the cost of having sharp protrusions poke out of his spine from the top of his head all the way down his tail which lazily moved back and forth as the ship landed.

The woman that was accompanying him on these talks he had worked with once before. It had been limited but they had worked together to free some slaves on Tatooine along with a bright shirted human and an echani master when they were still exiles. It had been some times since then but Cyzyn-Itza-Rus was not short on memory. The red skinned female had been effective in her last combat oriented infiltration. Hopefully she would be just as effective in a diplomatic setting.

The being's snout was acute and capable of picking up smells for tracking prey. With his experience he could almost feel the emotions of others adding to his already existing ability to literally sense people's emotions. Now he did not judge people for partaking in recreational drugs, especially if it made them better. The consumption of such a thing did not pass Cyzyn's notice but he made no remark on it. Instead shifted his shoulders, making sure his cloak was fit on the broad, spiked horizontal surface. "Indeed." With that being said the reptilian sith moved towards the exit and stepped down the ramp.

There was a small grouping of hutts, stone and structures made from old starship hulls. It was all based around what was likely one of the main mines in the area. Smaller than even Mos Eisley or Mos Espa on Tatooine it had likely a few thousand people in it max It would be interesting to see what leaders of the mining operation had assembled.

Narri smirked as she glanced around from on top of the ramp, taking in the....sad excuse for structures with an amused gaze. Were those starship hulls? This place really was one of the galaxies armpits huh. Even the stuff she'd seen on Tatooine had been more impressive, and they didn't have phrik mines to fall back on. Speaking of mines, where were the welcome wagon. Narri couldn't see any sign of them, even as she looked closer, and for some reason that irked her. Normally she wouldn't of cared funnily enough, but right now she wasn't in the mood. No, she felt...amped to get this done.

Striding down the ramp in a huff, the Twi'lek quickly took the lead, crossing the distance to the huts in quick strides. Still nobody, nobody important at least, as a few dusty beings stepped out of their huts. One of them was a Rodian, eyeing her oddly before turning away to go back into his hut. Uh, no, Narri reached out with the force...and yanked him into the air. In a moment, the alien was dangling in front of her, choking to death as she shouted in his face. 'Where. Are. The. Mining Leaders." It took a moment, but the Rodian managed to garble out an answer, pointing with one hand. "O-Ove-r T-here in the...bi-g...building."

Shrugging Narri dropped him on his head and started off in the direction he'd pointed, waving the other Sith along. Well this was going well, despite the lackluster start, and they'd soon be getting down to business. Quick and easy, that was the way she liked it...and so far it was going great! She batted another glowing line happily, watching it poof into another explosion of sparkles. What a great day, and there was the building! It WAS big, actually constructed of proper materials, and a full three stories. It was still dusty and battered though, easily fitting in with the rest of the "town." Hmmph, Narri extended a hand to blast the door down, the quick and easy way. @Darasuum ​

Cyzyn-Itza-Ruus calmly exited the ship and headed towards the town. The Twi'lek counter part seemed bothered by the lack of a presence as they touched down. Things were not off to a good start. She definitely was one of the more hot headed types. To think he had originally considered her to be part of the Dread Council. The hot sun was probably not too bothersome for a native of ryloth. For the reptilian man he was used to a more humid climate naturally but the heat was not a problem for him. He followed and watched her strangle a random rodian to get information. "We are here to make a positive relationship with the locals Master Emrour." He reminded her with his deep, rumbling voice as she quickly made her way toward the entrance of the town hall.

Narri was over one and a half meters in height while Cyzyn-Itza-Rus was a full two meters in height. While she walked quickly, he just walked normally thanks to his stride. As she raised a hand to blast the doors down he waved a hand to signal that was not a good idea. Instead he simply walked up to the door and pulled it open. His free hand held out to his side, inviting the woman into the building. Such violent displays were unnecessary. While it might tickle the red skinned woman's fancy it would not benefit their diplomatic purposes here.

Narri raised an eyebrow as the lizard interrupted her efforts, stepping into her path and simply pushing the door open. Huh, she'd thought a giant lizard man would be more open to her way of things, having heard some wild stories about those Barabel folk. What a shame that this one seemed such a buzzkill, though thankfully not literally, she'd taken too much for that. Still, Narri felt that stronger than usual rush of anger inside her when he did so, and the bright tendrils around her seemed to fizzle along with her, almost egging her on. She shoved that impulse down, for the moment at least and merely smiled up at the other Sith and headed in. Hopefully she could just ignore him.

The two were greeted with a receptionist desk and a frightened looking receptionist, along with a collection of doors. Strange, she hadn't actually gotten to blast in the door, so why the fear? Whatever, it was a good motivator, as Narri had barely stepped forward when the secretary motioned them towards the door right behind her whilst stammering out. "The..l-leaders are W-w-waiting for you in there." Well that was a bit better, though lacking in any nice red carpets. But she'd take it, and Narri strolled forward around the scared woman. Halfway there she had a funny thought, and suddenly lunged towards the receptionist with a snarl. The Twi'lek pulled up just short, but the damage was done as the target yelped and fell off her chair, trying to backpedal away.

Narri just laughed and straightened up, walking back on track. This WAS fun! Reaching out, she pushed the door open, and exaggerating the motion as much as she could, motioned for Cyzyn to enter. @Darasuum

The man took a deep breath, it was just short of a sigh as the two marched into the building they were meeting with the mining leadership. It was the town hall and not the company's personal property. It was a neutral point since a few different companies existed on the planet. But all were under the thumb of the Lunar Brigands. The cerulean eyed Sith wondered if Narri was a sadist or if it was just the drugs she was on. He hopped she would not give a worse impression than what the current occupiers of the Blood Moon had provided the miners.

Entering the room with Narri he saw six different individuals sitting aroundd an octagonal table with curious and confused looks on their faces. They must have heard the commotion caused by the Twi'lek outside and wondered what had happened. "We are not late are we?" The Tiss'shar took out a time piece but it only just hit the mark for the meeting. "No. You are fine mister, Xho'thal?" Cyzyn would only nod in response indicating the man that spoke was correct with his name. "This is my cohort Sith Master Emrour. Shall we get down to business?" The group looked over to the red sith. Some had obvious curiousity and others tried keeping some modicum of lust respectfully in check. On a backwater planet, little in the way of diversity so when an exotic and attractive woman came around, it definitely peaked their interest.

"You have long since been forced to deal with the group known as the Lunar Brigands. This has caused a limiting of your profits, far from enjoyable living conditions, and generally degrading to the people of Gromas Sixteen." It was all a statement to set the founddation for what followed. "We would like to offer any service we can to change that and make quality of life better." After his words it seemed the group of mining leadership looked at one another. They were skeptical but not objecting. It seemed the two would need to do more than make open ended offers. It was probably strange for the men and women before them.

Oh...wow, it was REALLY hitting her now, the full effects coming in force. She could feel reality slipping away, a colorful mist descending upon the world, swirling about alongside those rainbow tendrils. Even sound was becoming more distorted, her footsteps sounding like cannons and her every breath a whistling wind. The six new faces she looked upon even were but blobs of dissolving goop, each emitting sparks at various instances. On one hand, this was kriffing great! She could already feel a budding warmth, washing away her ire's, aches, and pains, and just in time for the boring part of the mission! But oh boy was this going to put a dent in her performance, because that warmth was also washing away what little care and interest she'd had. Also....it was HARD to figure out what the scaly blob was saying.

Nevertheless, she did her best to follow along, planting a oblivious smile on her face as she tried to nod at regular intervals. Funny enough, this seemed to actually have an effect, as she found several blobby gazes fixed upon her. Heh, she could imagine why, not like she was quite that far gone yet. It was around then that she managed to decode the other Sith's ramblings, figuring out that he was trying to offer them stuff. Well now...SHE HAD AN IDEA JUST FOR THAT, as these minor blobs obviously had an appreciation for the finer female bodies. Normally she wouldn't have suggested this...but right now it seemed like an awesome idea!

"Of course," she started, stopping for a moment as she realized how loud her voice as and how...fuzzy it seemed. She shook that away and continued, "One of our top concerns is the lack of female entertainment. Which we will put our FULL FOCUS into rectifying. After all, a happy workforce is a....a uh...productive one." She winked, twice accidently, "Trust me, I am well acquainted with the entertainment profession." She wasn't. "And I think we can manage some regular rotational shipments of exotic individuals alongside better food and drink options"

Instantly, the room was awash with a glow of positivity, or maybe that was just the sparkles. But it seemed to go over well, Narri catching several blobs shaking their heads in seeming appreciation. Still, she'd expected a bit more than that, maybe they were afraid of the legality? They were speaking now...but honestly, the words were kinda blending together again...and so she went back to nodding blindly. @Darasuum

Having traveled the galaxy and even studying different vices in their chemical components he knew well enough that the Twi'lek was feeling the affects of the drugs she had taken. Well it was far from efficient in this sort of environment but she seemed to be able to pull it off. He was sure if the workers of the mines had the option to they would partake in it as well. There was not much to do on these backwater planets anyways and a lack of entertainment options often left people grasping for any change of dull pace that was available.

"We can probably do better than slaves. Our presence will allow for more traffic and in turn people will come here, looking for work, settling, an influx of people. Many will likely be ... attractive. With the eventual boom in business entertainment establishments, shopping centers and more will start to form. Soon Gromas Sixteen could be the next major stop and you will be living in pent houses, reaping the seeds of your success."

The Tiss'shar's words only increased the approval of the mining leadership. They liked the idea of being the high rolller that would be remembered as some of the first big shots of a planet. Cyzyn-Itza-Rus smiled, glad that it was working out so well. But he did not want to push his luck. "With that being said we will have our assets take care of the Lunar Brigands and make for a pleasant future for the Blood Moon." They would be able to leave now. He did not want the buzzed Twi'lek to get in the way of the deal. Perhaps a quick stop by the local cantina would be a good place to stop for a little bit. Show some presence.

Well...something was definitely working as the amount of happy sparkles in the air had nearly doubled in the past minute. That and she could literally hear the hum of happiness in the room, a building buzz that made her feel warm and snuggly. That said though, she had no clue what was going on or what was being said, it was all drowned by the hum....though she could sense an air of finality in the room. Were they done?

They had to be done, her fellow Sith blob seemed to be leaving. Phew, it was getting to the point where her legs, EVEN THE FAKE ONE, were quivering beneath her. Giving a clumsy curtsy to the group, awkward as she wasn't really clothed properly for it, she then tried to dart out the door. Unfortunately, her somewhat impaired vision caused her to misjudge the doorway a bit, and she ran smack into the doorjamb. WHACK, she stumbled backwards blinking the new stars out of her eyes, only barely keeping her feet. She raised a hand to her head but felt nothing save a slight tingle, even as her fingers came away wet.

She blinked down onto the red spots on her glove, giggling when it floated away, and then tried again. This time she made it through and proceeded into the next room. And who was there to greet her? It was the receptionist, strangely not a blob, who almost immediately started backing away. Blinking at her owlishly, Narri suddenly realized she felt bad about their earlier encounter and lunged towards her. Despite her efforts, the woman found herself wrapped in a vicious hug as Narri squeezed. "I'm sooooo sorry," she whispered into the other woman's ear, crooning softly as she rubbed her head against the woman leaving blood smears. "I didn't mean it, I promise."

Then, as the woman did her best to stammer out a reply, Narri hoisted her up into the air, and did her best to continue heading out. It was tough and her steadiness was down by half, but she managed with a little help from the force. The red Sith was determined, why?, she didn't know, but it seemed like a good idea. "She then shot a look over to her fellow Sith blob, eyes bright and wide, "Where to next?"

The twi'lek was a bit eccentric for sure. He watched the woman like a man watches two small critters in his yard scitter after one another while enjoying a cup of morning coffee. Maybe he would grab a cup later but the climate was already warm enough here and he did not need to take in the caffeine. The scent of the the buzzed woman's blood did make his appetite grow somewhat. The scent of blood made him realize he had not eaten in a while.

"Now we will make good on what we said and prepare for the services we promised." He said as if it were not obvious. They did not need to stay in the podunk town for much longer. He was headed back to his ship and would conduct the rest of the logistics remotely. He had the support of the local mining leadership behind him. Perhaps some local troops would be good as well so that if the Lunar Brigands came they would not find the locals so ill equipped. It was just another thing to consider as he conducted the rest of the business. If the Twi'lek wanted to stay end enjoy the one shelf of alcohol that the local tavern likely had she was welcome to it but the Reptilian Sith was leaving.
