Suddenly, pirates !

[Lady Sendrenis Autumn]

The small light was not enough for her to see more than a vague circle in the ceiling. She preferred to close her eyes in order to think about this for a moment. How quickly it happened. A couple hours earlier, she still was in her ship, on her way back to Almania after a successful negociation with some representatives from a nearby world. Then... pirates. They came, they threatened to blow everything up - and nearly did anyway -, and they captured her. Simple. Obvious. And it worked.
The more she thought about it, the more she suspected someone had a little chat about her discreet mission and that this whole operation was about her. So much for her discreet attempt to go unoticed. Next time, she would bring at least ten times more ships and firepower, if there was a next time. In fact, there were two options now. She would either be sold to her own side, or to the opposite. She wasn't sure which one she preferred. It would be such a blow on her reputation to be 'sold' like some merchandise... She would be alive at the very least.
So... there she was. Handcuffed, in her usual Moff uniform. No weapons, no hidden shield, nothing. The room was flawless and the guards were smart enough not to let her go. She tried already. They carefully brought her water, blasters in hands, ready to end her at any suspicious movement.
Sendrenis slowly rubbed her forehead with her palm. She had to find her way out somehow. Did anyone received her distress signal ? We were in allied space after all. She couldn't remember who was in charge for this sector. Poor security mesures. Intended to be that way, perhaps ? Pointless paranoid thoughts, once more. She burried her face in her hands, impatient and anxious.

The ship itself looked like a large mining barge on which turrets were approximately grafted. The floating garbage it was appeared large enough to have some hangar able to hold several smaller ships at once. Especially since all the mining equipment seemed gone already. Sold or destroyed. Or both. The inside appeared to be cleaned only once a year and most of it's control panels were only functionning when they wanted to. Some doors had been dismantled already, the new occupants were probably annoyed to deal with the capricious commands. Lights were sparse and corridors only made for one person to travel through. Several maintenance passages were more or less accessible, but this nightmarish maze was for the bravest only to use.

Daisy woke up to a distress signal, "Great, I slept in the cockpit again. I hate it when that happens." She mumbled to herself the whole time she checked the signal, hm... Lady Sendrenis' ship overtaken? There was a good and a bad side to this, on one hand, she was the only ship within range of the signal, on the other, she was the only ship within range of the signal. Rolling her neck, she stood, and assessed her condition, sleep deprived, and still drowsy. Definitely not the kind of rescue party the Moff was hoping for, but it would have to do. She set a course for the signal's last known coordinates, then she left the cockpit to put her armor on.

She arrived at the attack sight, and docked to the damaged ship. She ignited one of her sabers, and slowly made her way around the empty interior. She could tell that there was a struggle, the dried blood on the floor, and the stink of dead bodies was enough to get her out of there and abandon the vessel, she sent a missile at the ship, giving the dead bodies a proper funeral. She amplified her scanner, and found the ship that attacked. It wasn't far away, nor was it very discreet. She caught up to the ship within minutes, she flew into the hangar, and walked to the bay door, preparing for the barrage of bullets she was about to receive.

"Hungry ?" Some voice asked from behind the door. ​

​

It opened and some man in a black armor and helmet looking like a pilot that just recovred from a crash handed some weird looking goo in front of her on a plate. She couldn't try anything once again. Her had his gun pointed directly at her in the other hand. She would better not answer anything too complicated or even move. If that moron pulled the trigger, it was the end of her. She gave him a reluctant look and she simply crouched to drop the whole thing on the ground and slowly walk back with a loud guffaw. The door closed.

There was no way she touched that thing. It smelt like... something. Something very... very bad smelling. Who knew what it could be, or what could be in it. She would rather starve for a while than have to eat anything actually. Or at the very least, she was determined to do so for now. She had been prisonner for only a couple hours now after all. Maybe more, maybe less. She pushed the plate with the tip of her foot to the corner of the cell and closed her eyes again. Sitting in a corner. A moment faded away.

Then noise. Fighting. Close. She opened her eyes, unsure. Perhaps it was only two pirates going a bit too far for their own safety but perhaps... perhaps it was rescue incoming. She stood up, brushed her clothes to clean herself from the dust or whatever it was and tried to look slightly better than a lost kid. She frowned to hide her tired expression as well as her humiliation. If it was just an argument, at least, nobody would know she had allowed her hopes up just to see them crushed down.

Daisy hid behind a wall, the first wave of men was easy to take care of, she blasted their eardrums with a banshee scream of her own invention. It was the second wave she had a problem with; they had shot at her from behind, thankfully she had her cloak on. She ended up shooting two before having to take cover; she pulled out a flash bang, primed it, and threw it. When she heard the boom, she ran out, drawing a knife, she proceeded to take out each man at once, leaving them with injuries that hurt enough to keep them grounded. But then, her left bicep burst into pain, it was now a patch of burned and blistered skin. She threw her knife at the man who shot her, but she took too much time to look at her injury, another pirate snuck up behind her and pressed a gun to her head.

"Drop your weapons, and I won't put a bullet in that pretty little head of yours."

Daisy looked around the room, more and more pirates were circling her, there was no way out. "Well, I think you are missing one important fact, I have no weapons." It was true, she had left her sabers in her ship, which she had programmed to take off and get as far away as possible as soon as she stepped off of the ship; she also only had a blaster and one knife left on her belt. The pirate spun her around, switched his weapon to stun and shot her in the stomach. Everything went black as she fell to the floor, the pirates laughing all the way. A few moments later, She would wake up to find herself in a cell with another woman, "Lady Sendrenis? I have come t-AGH!" She cried out in pain as she put weight on her arm, falling back to the ground. She then took time to assess herself. The pirates had taken everything off of her, leaving her with only her skin-tight combat suit, and her cloak; they even took her boots. She rolled to her back and sat up against the wall wincing in pain the whole time, "I came to rescue to, but I guess it kind of went haywire."

When the three pirates moved the sith in her cell, she remained on spot with a neutral expression and as soon as they went out, she realized she stopped breathing. With a sigh, she glanced down at her. Apparently she had been stripped off any weapon or armor she had. Quite unfortunate. Still, the situation improved overall. Perhaps her new friend had certain skills that could reveal useful to get them out of here. She blinked when she noticed Daisy waking up, not quick enough to tell her to be careful before the wounded woman began to speak and hurt herself. Perhaps she was still confused after whatever happened to her. Sendrenis knelt down next to her and moved a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down and focus, she instructed slowly, what is your name, and do you possess anything that could be of use for us to escape ?"
​

She checked on her quickly as she spoke. Trying to find out if her new companion would be able to walk at the very least. Right now, the Moff had absolutely not the slightest start of a plan in mind. Her dark pupils staring intensely as Daisy's answer could change pretty much everything. Sendrenis was far from stupid, and to outsmart people was a thing. But to outsmart a lot of people all alone with no weapons and being jailed in a tiny room was another.

Daisy thought for a moment, then she brought her right hand up to her chest, and pulled two playing cards from her bra. "Well, among out assets, I have two deadly playing cards, and the fact that I am a Force-user, and they don't know that." Daisy smiled, she started flipping the cards in her hand. The cards didn't look like much, just a standard playing card. But, when looked at more closely, one would see the durasteel threaded through the card, along with the sharpened edges. Daisy slowly began to stand, "First thing we do after we break out, get our gear that they took. or else we aren't going to make it. Here, take my cloak, it's rancor hide, and should protect you from most blaster shots." She handed her cloak to the Moff, and walked over to the door. She placed a hand on the metal, using the Force to send small shock waves throughout the ship. Once she had found everyone's relative position to the cell, she took a few steps back, "M'lady, you might want to stand back." That was the only warning she gave before she bombarded the door with thousands of shock waves a second. There was no doubt that the entire ship could feel it, and when the door tore from it's hinges, the guards lined up infront of it were crushed by the doors flying into the other side of the hallway.

Daisy slumped against the wall, the energy it took to destroy the door taking it's toll before she started moving to the armory, hopefully Sendrenis would follow.

 

[Lady Sendrenis Autumn]

"I'm afraid i don't have any gear, but i probably could handle a blaster pistol or something similar if we find one. Thank you."​

She quickly moved the cloak around her shoulders, keeping a low head to avoid getting shot. Fortunately, she was not in one of her sophisticated dress and could move quite easily through the passages. Very soon, some of their ennemies would end up finding them. She could hear some footsteps already. They arrived at a some intersection. Leaning forward slightly, she focused on her hearing the best she could since she wasn't seeing much in that dim light anyway.

"There is only one. I got an ideaon how to get rid of him without much noise. I'll go first, get him from behind."
​

She started walking casually, moving forward, right in front of the eyes of the guard coming for them in the corridor on her right. She ignored his injunctions and kept walking, not even glancing at him - she couldn't see anyway -. If everything went as planned, he would turn right to get her and her sith friend would end up in his back. She wasn't fearing for her life as she certainly didn't appear like a threat to him. Just like a prisoner trying to make her escape. Besides, if the cloak was really made from rancor skin like she said it was, a warning shot shouldn't wound her either.​

Daisy nodded quietly at Sendrenis, waiting until the guard had his attention on the woman before moving. She wrapped her hands around the man's head, a soft crack being heard as she snapped his neck. "Come on, it's only a little bit further," she said as she pulled a keycard from the man's pocket. Then the alarms sounded, someone found the busted cell door. Grabbing Sendrenis' hand, she ran through the hallways, navigating them like it was her own ship. Soon they would reach the armory, the guard stationed there soon fell, a playing card sticking out from his neck. She ran into the room, closing the door, and locking it with the key card. She cleaned off the cards, and put them back into her bra. She then ran over to her gear and immediately began strapping it on. First came her boots, her chestpiece, her belt, the blaster and it's holster, and the knife she used. She opened a hidden pocket on her belt and brought out an ear piece, "Start operation Beta-Z-10." She turned to Sendrenis, handing her a blaster pistol, "Here, keep the cloak, it's the only armor you've got right now."

Daisy waited for Sendrenis to give her the O.K. For the first time since their being together, she noticed how unnaturally beautiful the Moff was. She had read somewhere that Lady Sendrenis was a Hapan, but she hadn't really seen one before, and therefore didn't believe in the rumors.

 

[Lady Sendrenis Autumn]

They were temporarly safe, she thought for herself as the closed door behind them was completely locked for now. But they were only trading a cell for another. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything Sendrenis had been able to bring from her ship. Captured ans searched before being brought here, everything she had was still there. Or used to be.
She could appreciate the decent light of the room, and finally ended up able to see clearly for the first time in a while. She discreetly glanced at her rescuer, now able to examine her in details. She would be quick however, not to make the woman incomfortable. Sendrenis felt a bit useless at that moment, but after all, she was supposed to be the victim in that series of events. There was little she could do. At the very least, she would try to find an appropriate reward for the sith. Something that could be of use to her, have some value or at least that she could like.​

"Thank you." She said as she took the blaster. Immediatly hiding in inside her cloak she completely wrapped herself in. "I still do not know your name." She pointed out, with a small grateful smile.
