Security Matters

[The Storyteller]

Kween Station, a massive station that is run by a Hutt by the name of Zigge had been running very smoothly up until recently. With the Hutt beginning to reach an incredibly old age and suffered from a genetic defect that caused his skin to crack when not taken care of properly. Some have thought it was alright to do as they pleased. Now the Hutt has been cracking down on these issues. But there has been on big problem with security. Mostly in the lower levels.

Despite all of his best efforts, Zigge has not been able to get his security personnel to do their jobs. And well this simply will not do. How can he run this station if they will not do their jobs to his expectations? So the Hutt reached out to the Empire for help. He knows that there will be a price for their services. Now Zigge does not want to have to resort to such measures but the desire to bring his precious station back under control he knows he has to look for outside help. Getting the station back to perfect running order will be worth any price.

So here is Zigge patiently waiting for the envoys to arrive in the designated meeting room. He was told that they should be here any moment. Time felt like it was ticking slower and louder. Slower due to him starting to become impatient, louder because the longer it took to get the station under control security wise he will most likely lose the entire station. Moving from the window to the massive wooden table the Hutt looked around at the empty room, save for the protocol droid that stood at a corner waiting to be called over when the representatives arrive.

Markov arrived to the space port in his personal craft. He had a long journey to get to the space port, and his ship was low on fuel. Luckily enough, his mission was on a Space Port, so of course he'd be getting his ship refueled and restocked by his pilot. As known for the port, there were many security breaches, so he made sure to bring as much of his personal guards to protect his ship while he was the Port; after all, he didn't want his nice ship getting stolen by some drunk commoner. Heading out of the exit of his ship, he met with a droid, who gladly let him through and guided him to the location that he would be meeting Zigge the Hutt.

"Right this way, Mr. Aletaus..." he said as Markov followed the droid, who was a few inches shorter than him. They boarded and were transported by a elevator, where he relaxed briefly before the elevator reached its destination. When the doors opened, a loud sound of crowds and partying arose as the two stepped out and continued their beeline for Zigge's Meeting Room. Passing by multiple bars and areas of entertainment, they finally took another elevator to nearly the top of the entire port. This time when the doors opened, it opened to a marvelous view of the space outside. The droid turned and made a gesture to the right side. "Sir, this is one of the Sith sent to assist you today..." he said as he stood by the elevator. Markov turned and approached the desk of the Hutt. He was glad that he didn't have to wear his helmet or many parts of his armor for this situation, and this Hutt so far meant peace.

"Thank you for having me at your headquaters... After all, I came to help you with this issue as stated by your request..." he said as he approached the desk and tried to keep a positive expression and posture. "I am Crusader Markov Aletaus, and my associate should be arriving soon so we can get your security back together..."

Markov observed Zigge the Hutt as he waited for his comrade to arrive. The Hutt was quite peculiar to him. His age was impressive, but he was more attentive to the condition of his appearance. He felt a slight of empathy for the old Hutt, knowing that he has probably worked hard and it has taken a toll, as well as the skin condition that was rampant on his body. Yes, there would be a cost of his work with Zigge, but perhaps the Empire would not just gain a good Spaceport, but a ally to manage it.

Markus arrived in his new shuttle. After being suddenly transferred to a new ship, he had lots to think about. It had been said the Darth Parox had been killed, Markus was disturbed that this had happened, but Markus would continue on. His shuttle landed at the spaceport, and he walked out, his troopers behind him. Markus was told he would be accompanying a Crusader to meet a Zigge the hurt, whoever that was.

Markus saw Markov, the Crusader that had hosted that one party, who was being accompanied by a droid. Markus and his men rushed off to follow Markov. They arrived at the building, and Markus had to wait for the next elevator. Once up, they filed out, and were led to the meeting room, where Crusader Markov and Zigge the hut were waiting. Markus smiled at Markov, “Hello, Crusader Markov, and hello, Zigge the Hutt. I am Commander Varro, a pleasure to meet you.”

Zigge continued to patiently wait for the arrival of the representatives. The Hutt just got to the desk when the droid escorting the Sith walked in with Markov in tow. They have arrived. Thank goodness. the old Hutt thought as the Sith walked in. Not long after the Sith started to speak. Of course the translator droid will have to exchange and translate every word that the Hutt will have to say while the old being can understand what the person standing before him was saying.

Looking to the Sith Crusador the Hutt began to speak, "Uba doth cuee chobaso Markov." Zigge began with a very visible smile. Showing that he is more than just happy that the Sith and soon his partner have arrived. With the two of them here they can discuss what is going on and quickly get this whole situation under control. The Hutt took a deep wheezing breath before continuing, "Jee dotmay pin jeejee caiot nan bimhee cay wa bauia bai mah banbonzahag soong." The Hutt paused once more, "
Pinee pee hoppada an wa che copah bu bacdop see ten caiot see fah bai ban kae dabobaha. Jee gahkesa uba Dobra hatkocanh bai wamma kae che copah du beeska mu-moolee che bargon u."

The Droid turned from the old Hutt to Markov, "He says. You are most welcome Markov. I hope together we can come up with a solution to my security situation, along with terms and a price the both of us can agree to without any regrets. I assure you I am willing to pay any price in payment for your services." The droid translated in basic to the Sith so that the man can understand what Zigge was saying as that is the droid's job. If the Sith took the time to observe he will find that none of the droids were nervous at all while around the Hutt. That is because Zigge unlike other Hutts is more on the gentle side. Yeshe can be brutal when called for. But he is easier to be around.


The droid then turned to Varo as the Imperial Officer joined them and introduced himself to the aging Hutt. The old being looked to the man as well, nodding in approval, "Cuova bai manpanh uba bom bom, Ahban Varro. Ateema da jeejee doth tytung pin. Jot ten doa." The droid immediately translated it for the two humans, "Pleasure to meet you too, Commander Varro. Now that we are all together. Let us begin." The Hutt looked between the two men wondering how much they have been told in regards to the whole situation. Wondering if he should just tell them what has been going on in case information was lost in the translation when he sent the message to the Sith Empire.

"Jee panweba da uba chespo toupee haku gee doth apoya dah mah bekiola?" The Hutt asked curiously.


The droid turned to the two representatives, "I trust that you have been told what has been happening on my station?" The droid quickly translated. Looking to the men, ready to translate what they say to the Hutt if Zigge doesn't understand what they are saying. If they speak loudly enough, the old Hutt will be able to hear and understand what they are saying. But if they mumble then the Hutt will not understand what is being said.

His comrade soon entered the chamber as he stood beside him: Commander Varo; this was the man who used to work for Parox and he briefly met him. As the Hutt spoke in his native tongue, the droid translated as a gleaming smile was on the Hutt’s face. Markov returned with a genuine grin as he looked into the eyes of Zigge.

“Ah yes.. You’re welcome. We’ll be able to come to an agreement and way to solve this situation and both of us have benefit...” he responded to the first translation. Markov kept sharp eye contact on both the droid and Hutt as the next translation came out as well.

“Yes.. the situation on this station has been quite a hassle as it has seemed. After all, I caught sight of criminals on the way up here anyway and from the stories about this place. It’s quite a tragedy for such a bustling station...” he began. He looked outside the window into the station below the tower they were in briefly before turning back. “The place is busy with activity of all kinds... and given the population, we need to instantiate more security measures; more people.. but we need to have ways to train and enforce them better... My idea is that we can have a report or watch system, where people could report issues or volunteer to join the security for temporary times for some pay...” he said.

The crusader waited for his fellow Imperial to add his own suggestion as he stood. He was right about the activity, and perhaps Markov could take advantage of it and use it to get rid of the criminal activity depending on consensus...

The droid translated to the two what the Hutt said. If this was the way they were going to communicate, this entire mission would take longer to complete. Markus nodded to the Hutt, and he let Markov speak first.

"Yes, I also am sure we can come to some sort of an arrangement. I understand that this situation can be a problem, and I know how we can fix these security issues." Markus thought for a moment before continuing, "It is quite saddening that this station should ever come to the problem of security, but problem no more. As my partner said, we can have a neighborhood watch system so to speak. Employing independent people to be our eyes and ears could prove fruitful for finding out any terrorist activities. However, we could allocate Imperial resources to help you out. Our troops are the finest and you can have no doubt in your mind that you can trust them. I believe employing the general population, or having mere volunteers could prove disastrous. Any rivials or criminals attempting to undermine you or attack, would merely have to "volunteer" in order to gain security clearances or learn of security movement, and they would be able to attack from within."

Markus knew the Sith Empire had almost and unlimited amount of resources that could help the Hutt. But of course a price would be transacted, and a hefty price too. Markus looked first to Markov then to the Hutt as the droid interpreted his message.

The translator droid translated everything that the two Imperial Representatives said. The aging Hutt hummed quietly as he thought through everything that was told. Yes they have some good ideas here. They can work to bring order back to the station. Zigge looked to each of the Imperial Agents with his reptilian eyes as he thought through every last detail he was told. Carefully picking it apart and processing it. Part of it being because of his old age and the other being due to the wisdom he has gained through his years of running the station until now.

Yes there will be a lot here that the Hutt will have learned by the end of this stressing event. But even an old slug like him can learn a thing or two.

"Heai jansee peai fa hatkocanh joday. Jee hatkocanh cahcata uba dopa bai donohkepeu bimhee pee bagn danko uba canta doth yuna. Um fa gee bai joday bai cahwapkag. Jee cha banag kae loopholes da caiot doth doptmuioka."The old Hutt finally said after who knows how long he spent thinking it through so thoroughly. Yes it is a risk to allow the two full control of the system they plan to set up. But Zigge has learned through his long years that sometimes it is best to have agents from outside the system help get things up and running. And with the Imperials being from a military sort of system. They are his best choice of help and source of advice for the situation at hand.


The droid turned to the two men, "He Said. As long as it will work. I will allow you two to set up whatever system you think is best. But it has to work to perfection. I don't want any loopholes that can be exploited." He told the two Sith, waiting patiently for what to translate next. Yes this may prove to be a long meeting. But what else can be done when one of the two parties can't understand the other?
