"The Meeting" (Sontrebren Crew Only)

[Ka've]

They say the walls of Corusant have ears, that nothings a secret for long.

Information. The jewel of Corusant. The most valuable asset that any being needed to protect himself, especially if the being participates in illegal activities. Information on Corusant could make you or break you.

There could be no leaks. No other ears could hear what needed to be spoken, what needed to be settled.

And so it was called. Deep, deep under the surface of the planet. Under the watchful eye of the Republic, swoop gangs, even the spice addicts did not venture too deep under the surface where the demons lie. Evil things. Where stories are made, and heroes fail. Evil always prevails.

It was called. There was no turning back....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malkav stepped out of the shadows, headed toward the meeting.

A faint lime green light marked the building that the meeting was designated to be in. Only a handful of people actually knew about the meeting, less knew what it was about. Malkav was taking a risk coming down this far under the surface...but he knew it was worth it.

He used to Force to speed up his pace and leap from shadow to shadow. A dingy two story run down shack stood right next to the light..the meeting place.

Malkav called upon the Force once again, this time focusing on the second story window. He sprinted toward the building, and then leaped up through the already broken window and fell into a roll, bracing his fall.

He lifted up his head and brushed rotten wood chips from his hair. There was something in the air.......He was the first...

 

[D.C.]

The Gambler, dressed in a black leather jacket and a red shirt underneath, blue pants and black boots, with a big blaster pistol in the holster on his right leg, walked towards the building where the meeting was.
He looked cold and emotionless, like a fearless capo. He was there and he was ready.

He then entered the building and saw another man who had already got there.

"Greetings." his low, yet powerful voice sounded. "I'm Blake Zeth. They call me The Gambler. I'm capo of my crew Black Jack. You must be Malkav Dem. Underboss. Am I right?"

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

((Don't be so... nice. You're a capo, just below a crime boss!))

"It's dark here, who turned out the lights?" At that moment he pulled out a small droid. He whispered at it, a light beep resounded from it and it glowed. The dark skinned man walked through the darkness. He was standing in light, to his own amusement.

He neared the meeting place, he heard voices inside. He wondered why they still used this place instead of Teo's place. It was a 'legitimate' store and it had air conditioning, something this part of the city lacked.

He pushed the door open lazily and greeted his comrades. "Hey," His droid went to the center of the room and connected itself to the ceiling, it then rested there as a ceiling light. While this happened Teo found his way to an overturned filing cabinet and got comfortable.

 

[FaMiLy]

Govon appeared in front of the building with a rather large group of men by his side. The men was his loyal henchmen or guards. He knew trouble would occur. He was the head of the Sontrebren Crew, one of the largest criminal organizations. The trouble would have to deal with the law or his rivals.

Govon pushed open the door to the building where the meeting was suppose to happen. Everybody was talking the small soldiers of the Crew, he observed that the 'heads' of the crew was in the building. His Capo, Underboss, and his most loyal soldier. They all needed to hear what had to be said in the meeting. Govon trailed to the table where the group was going to converse. He removed his jacket and handed it to one of the guards and eventually say down.

He waited for the group to start the meeting. He'd let the meeting be free minded and ruled. But that didn't mean anybody's rule was above his. After all he was the Crime Lord.

 

[Ka've]

Malkav turned his head toward the voice. His face twisted into a snarl and he stretched out his hand, calling on the Force, twisting gravity and Blake's body. The Gambler was lifted off his feet and slammed into the wall.

Malkav sprinted toward The Gambler and threw a right hook with all his weight behind it. It connected with a crack and The Gambler crumpled to the floor. Dark blood splattered on the floor from Blake's lip, adding to the stains on the floor.

Malkav reached into his pants and pulled out a blaster, bent down and grabbed Blake by the collar. He pointed the blaster in Blake's face and said "If you ever....EVER say what we do or who we are again...Ill put a hole" He pressed the blaster against Blake's forhead "There".

His point made, he let Blake go. Malkav put the blaster back into his pants and looked around at his fellow crew members. "This isn't a game. You don't make yourselves known. You got that? I'm not going to jail because one of you decide to open your fat mouths.."

He walked to the other room where the Govon was waiting. Malkav sat down at the table and said "Hey boss, hows it going? You doin ok?"

 

[D.C.]

The Gambler laughed. He spit some blood on the floor and got up.

"Whatever you want." he said. "You must be really afraid of the authorities, aren't ya? Paranoid, perhaps?"

Then Govon entered the building. "Boss." he said. "And so we meet again. Let's try to make this meeting a... nicer one than our latest."

He smirked and walked over to a wall and leaned with his back against it. He waited for somebody to speak.

 

[FaMiLy]

Govon took a notice around himself, he saw the normal act performed by Malkav. He assumed it was necessary. Govon waited for a few more moments for everybody to clear up talking. They noticed it was time for the meeting to start. Ignoring all the questions asked.

"Well, Gentlemen." Govon said, he stood from the table. "We need plans for later and the years to come. People are going to earn cuts from credit flow and more valuable rewards." Govon sat down, he coughed a little. That was a little awkward for Govon, he was considerably healthy.

"We have important matters to discuss. First we need to solve the problem of stupidness. Some of you have announced yourselves to much. There will be a stop to this either by the Law or by myself." Govon let the words sink in.

"Before we begin, anybody have any questions?"

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

Teo watched with a sideways look at Malkav as he pummeled his lesser. He stayed silent as the meeting commenced around them.

 

[D.C.]

The Gambler did not say anything either. He waited for Govon to continue his speech.

 

[FaMiLy]

(Want to give others time to reply.)

Govon waited for a few more seconds.

 

[Viggy]

From a hole in the roof, the Cathar dropped into the room with a soft hiss. His feline ears turned about like little radar dishes as he peered around the room, taking note of each fellow Crew member. He gave a respectful nod to the boss, Govon. Wordlessly, he moved to a wall and leaned against it, crossing his arms.

 

[Ka've]

Malkav nodded and said "No questions boss."

He stood up at the table, greeting the newcomer with a nod and said to the rest "We all know why were here. To make credits. If everyone gets along and follows orders" He gave a hard stare at everyone in the room except Govon "Then we can make credits rain from the sky."

Malkav reached into his pocket and pulled out a cloth pouch and dropped it on the table. He said "Anybody know what that is?" One of the underlings peeked inside and said "It looks like spice..."

Ahhhhh....but here's the beauty his inner voice said

"See...but its not. Its a harder, more addictive, better high than regular spice. And the best part about it is, its extremely easy to produce. This new concoction comes from a very specific planet that I will not name out loud to so many. We can sell it for half the price that spice is selling now and beat all the competition..."

He pulled out his blaster. "And if they don't want to surrender, we'll make them.

 

[Viggy]

Poknor grinned widely at the conclusion of the Underboss’ speech, disengaging the safety of his slug rifle to create an ominous metallic click. “Sounds idiot-proof. Let’s hope no one here is exceptionally stupid enough to ruin it. Otherwise, I’ll personally see to it that the burden on our organization is removed.” He glared around the room, the cold look in his eye making sure the underlings knew his meaning.

 

[Leviatho]

While the room was dark and dingy, the smell was far worse. In this room sat some of the most ruthless men in the galaxy, Men at which brought no fear to Knot for he feared no man or creature. That's why he loved meeting deep down in Coruscant, the so called demons and such where mere target practice for him. and his Gatling bolt thrower.

Knot stood right behind Govon, a huge Yussen with fur that was the color of space, and listen to what everybody had to say about the new proposal that Malkav presented to the room and laughed out loud when the Cathar said " Otherwise, I’ll personally see to it that the burden on our organization is removed.”Knot replied, " what exactly are you going to do, lick them to death?" Knot looked around the room, the light barely piercing the dark room, as knot cracked his knuckles took a step forward into the light more " Everyone knows that i take care of any problems that happen and i ain't going to let some feline try stepping in my place."

Even though Knot belonged to Blakes crew whenever there was a meeting such as this He always traveled with Govon till he was safe back at his headquarters. Knot considered Govon the only family he has and with his life bond to Govon he made sure nothing would ever happen to him, even with Govons most trusted allies.

 

[FaMiLy]

"Knot settle down" Govon smilde, "Now back to business, let's not rely on this 'altered' spice as a main source though." Govon mentioned, "We have other… means… of earning credits. All you know this by now, I shouldn't be saying it over."

Govon finally got into a rested position and placed his hands on the table before him.

"The Capos of the crew, you're going to get small missions in which you need to complete. I will talk to you both privately. You two know who you are. As for Malkav the Underboss he'll be making sure sure everything goes well and if not. He'll make sure it does. The soldiers are immediately supposed to respond to order, otherwise just eliminate them. Were not here for games, were here for business." Govon was strict about what he had just said.

"As for myself i'm going to be watching over all operations. As I said crews are going to be given operations to take complete control over. Most is going to be racket rings, and small criminal activity, and by god I swear if any of this information leaks out. The leaker will suffer."

 

[Viggy]

As he heard Knot’s arrogant words the Cathar smirked, letting his fangs show. Leaving his place on the wall, he walked up quite close to Knot, looking up into the Yuzzem’s yellow eyes with his own brown ones. He gently poked the tall creature in the stomach with the butt of his slug thrower. Then he spoke - very quietly, so that no one except Knot and perhaps Govon (who the Yuzzem had stood near to) would hear the words. Poknor’s softly hissing feline voice had a murderous tone.

“You’re already standing out as one of the potential burdens. You don’t know who you’re talking to, I am worth more then a lowly soldier like yourself. Count yourself lucky you aren’t under my direct command. Disrespect me again and you’ll be bantha fodder… Let’s try and avoid that, eh? A big bugger like you might be useful to the Crew, after all.”

Chuckling darkly, the Cathar returned to his wall and leaned on it once more. He nodded along as Govon outlined the work he would be doing in the future, looking forward to it in his mind.

 

[Leviatho]

Knot smirked and gave a slight chuckle and stared right back into the brown eyes of the Cathar and said just as quiet" and if i was you i'd be watching with what your saying, for it sounds like you have other plans then just working for Govon."Knot pushed his stomach hard against the butt of the Poknors gun and said" you better make that one shot count for it'd be your last."

He then let out a thunderous laugh and gave a slap on the arm to the Poknor, smiled, then walked back behind Govon and continued to listen to what everybody else had to say about Govons orders.

 

[Ka've]

Malkav remained standing. "Now then...speaking of missions there are a few tasks that needed to be taken care of."

"First, there is a a Republic flagship scheduled to do a normal sweep of the Republic and Alaskan borders. Through sources, I have learned that during the routine patrol they will be testing out a new type of star fighter. This ship is faster, more powerfully equipped, and is down right cool looking. I want that ship. If we have it, we can build our own fleet or warships and sell some to the highest bidder."

"Second, a large shipment of Death Sticks and Spice need to be smuggled from Correlia to Corusant and distributed to dealers. Failure will not be tolerated." Malkav grinned.

"Third, there seems to be a problem with the slaves that are mining our spice on Fakir. I need a few people to go...settle them. And take another load from another village, they won't do anything about it, they're terrified of us."





Malkav leaned on the table and said "When you carry out these tasks, you will carry them out with the utmost secrecy. You will not mention our organization, you will not mention any names. The punishment for infringing these rules is death..." He held out his hand "By my hand...."

He squeezed his fist.​

Malkav turned to his boss and said "Do you want to pick the crews that are assigned these tasks or would you like me to?"

 

[FaMiLy]

Govon nodded. He wanted the missions done as fast as possible. The organization needed to grow even more, more credits meant more power. His power was reigning high currently but even more would be better.

The two crews would have a lot of things on their hand, he knew it is a lot to handle, but he trusted all his men. Especially the leaders, all of them could handle their own as well as their soldiers own. He appreciated the dedication. The meeting was for covering missions, not lives.

"Malkav you and I have business to do as well. With other 'rivals.'"

 

[Leviatho]

Knot looked around the room then spoke after Govon. " i'd like to go personally to Fakir and take care of that minor problem if you don't mind boss." " Nothing like going to a mine and smashing a few heads in and taking whats rightfully ours."

Knot smiled evilly as all the thoughts of bloodshed and screams were running threw his head.
