Vaean, the Hunt. (Invite)

[Ben]

(We can keep posting for a while, until we get to Bio's docking bay).

It had been noon, around 2:00 p.m., and the streets had been arousing with various vehicles and automobiles. The shops around Coruscant were filled with potential customers, and merchants. The docking bay had been quiet, with less business than usual.

Ben paced into the docking bay, with the sound of clanking weapons thumping against each other. Infront of the entrance, he folded his arms and stood there, looking around for Kal Jericho.

There were a vast amount of ships in the docking bay. Many of the workers there had been on there break. The next job would be a tough one to sort out, the man had many reports of crimes being committed.

 

[Niner]

((Cool))

Kal walked into the hangar bay and glanced down at his datapad. He was looking for one of the new members of the Guild, a Ben Kamich, he would be supervising him on a hunt that was about to take place. he glanced down at the picture on the pad and then looked around, "Ahhh, there he is." Kal mumbled to himself. Quietly saddling over to the young man he walked up behind him and placed one hand on his shoulder, "You'll have to be more alert then that to make it in this line of buisness."

 

[Ben]

Ben turned around slowly, "Heh, so, are you ready to go?" Ben took the mans words and placed them in his mind.

The docking bay grew louder as the workers came bumbling out of a door with various conversations to each other.

 

[Niner]

((Thought I'd put a little action in it for now, as well as build my character's back story.))
Kal gave a slight grin, "Yeah, follow me." He walked down the bustling hallway untill he reached hangar 18. He took a small scanner card from his pocket and scanned the lock on the door. Entering the room he saw two men looking around his ship. He motioned to Ben to stay low and out of site, then he walked up to the two men and said, "Hey, can I help you with somethin', or do I have to kick you out of here, this is my ship after all."
Then one of the men looked at him and drew a blaster, "IT's not your ship Kal, you stole it from us, and we wan't it back, along with the weapons."
Kal looked at him in disgust, "Heh, you two don't deserve to have the Jericho back, or those weapons. You guys are no more then two-bit pistol jockeys that couldn't run an operation to save their lives. And I have a colleauge of mine here in this hangar with a bead on your head right now." He hoped the new kid was a good shot if it came down to a fire fight.
"And if that don't persuade you, perhaps these will" Saying that Kal drew both his pistols in a lighting quick movement and had one trained on each man.
The second man reached for a pistol and fired it at Kal, who dove to the side, "Get em' kid!" he roared over at Ben.

 

[Ben]

Ben rolled out of cover and then unholstered his DL-22 and held it up towards the man that had been out in the open. Ben pulled back the trigger and unleashed a devastating blast of energy aimed straight towards the mans heart.

As Ben fired at the man the other man quickly came out of cover and fired at Ben. Ben ducked from the shot and went back into cover now. The man he had shot fell to the ground, with a laser blasted through his heart.

Ben went back into cover behind a few crates, and then quickly raised back up and aimed for the man that rolled out of Kal's sight. He fired his blaster pistol with agility, and it had been aimed at the mans head. It had been a merely easy target since all he had to aim from was horizontal wise.

The man ducked it and waited in cover, ready to fire at either Ben or Kal.

Luckily no one outside of our hangar had heard the firefight that had been going on.

 

[Niner]

Kal nodded at Ben and then ran straight towards the boxes the man was behind, he jumped up on to the box and something shiny flashed in his hands, two blaster bolts fired and then a gurgling sound came from behind the box. A couple seconds later Kal stepped out from behind the box, a bloody knife in one hand, a wiping carbon scoring from a blaster shot off of his jacket. He looked up at Ben, "You know how hard it is to get carbon and blood out of leather?"

 

[Ben]

"Well, I wouldn't be worried about your jacket right now, but yes, from past experiences." Ben laughs as he says this and then grips his blaster pistol and holsters it back onto his belt.

Ben continues to follow Kal to his ship, pacing quickly.

 

[Niner]

Kal contiued brushing off the carbon and stopped once to wipe the knife on the dead man's shirt, then returned it to his boot. He walked into his ship and waited for Ben to move up the ramp then shut the door and walked to the cockpit. strapping himself into the pilot's chair he motioned for Ben to sit in the co-pilots chair. Then he lifted off and blasted out of the orbit, completley ignoring the police chatter about two dead bodies in hangar 18 that came in over his radio. Reaching space, he punched in the coordinates and they blasted in to hyperspace. "So, you got any questions for me?" He said to Ben.

 

[Ben]

(They said that there is an Alsakan Blockade over Coruscant in an rp thread).

Ben strapped himself in his chair next to Kal. "Nothing im curious about, no." He said this truthfully.

Ben analyzed the atmosphere as we blasted off into orbit.

 

[Niner]

((only effects republic vessels, the Jericho is neutral.))

"Good, I hate answering questions. And just so you know, I won't be helping you at all in the actual tracking of the subject once we get to the station. I will only help if your life is in danger, we are too small an organization to lose members. But now, it is time for the tests. Tell me what the bounty hunters creed is, and what you think each statement means."

((The creed can be found in the BHG section in independant factions section.))

 

[Ben]

Ben replies to Kal sharply. "Well, the creed means that as we make money, we grow larger, and we must keep what we earn, such as a new bounty hunter rising through the ranks. And the guild feels responsible for all the lower ranks that join it."

After Ben had said this he looks off at the Alsakan ships in orbit around Coruscant, and then focuses back onto Kal.

 

[Niner]

((This isn't god-moding by the way))

Kal reaacted with lighting swiftness and slapped Ben across the face, "Watch your tone boy. The creed is more than that, it is the fabric that binds us together. This is the creed, and the proper interpratation of it.
NO Bounty Is Worth Dying For
This rule emphasizes that, no matter how great a reward, a hunter should never take any undue risks to his or her life in order to make a capture. They should also consider how much of a risk whichever bounty is going to be and to plan accordingly. A reward, even if enormous, is unspendable if a hunter is dead.

People Don't Have Bounties, Only Acquisitions Have Bounties.
This single, cardinal rule, more than any other, defines the way in which bounty hunters approach their chosen profession. It reflects the idea that sentient beings, to some degree, must be accorded respect. If, however, an individual has a bounty placed on them, he or she has ceased to be an individual with rights. No longer a member of the galactic community, the "acquisition" has become fair game. Tears should never be shed over the fate of someone that is, after all, only an "acquisition."

Capture By Design, Kill By Necessity.
Killing is sometimes necessary. That is business, pure and simple. However, unnecessary killing is still murder. The hunter, unless otherwise directed by those leveling the bounty, must attempt to deliver the acquisition alive. Often, those leveling the bounty had a vested interest in a live target - and the target might have been better off getting killed by the hunter.

No Hunter Shall Slay Another Hunter
Simply put, whatever their origin, bounty hunters see themselves as a special breed. They take their lives, and those of others, into their hands each time they hunt. One may not agree with another hunter's motives or insult them for the manner in which they carried out their hunts, but no bounty hunter shall ever take up arms against a fellow hunter. This law applies only to hunters who follow the creed, not to those who have a bounty posted on their head, becoming merely acquisitions. In such cases, the ex-hunter is no longer seen as a member of the common fellowship and old scores can now be settled with impunity.

In the Hunt One captures or Kills, Never Both.
In cases where the acquisition had been taken alive, that "choice" can not be altered. To kill an acquisition in the course of the hunt is one thing, but to purposely kill an unarmed, helpless being already subdued and unable to resist will be seen as simple slaughter and wanton butchery. An acquisition "killed while attempting to escape" however, would be an entirely different matter altogether.

No Hunter Shall Refuse Aid to Another Hunter.
While no hunter had the right to interfere with another's hunt, there came times when even the best of master hunters required assistance. In extreme cases, any hunter can ask for and expect aid and assistance from another hunter, even if it meant that the latter must temporarily suspend his or her own hunt in the meantime to render such aid. Whatever personal grievances or animosities that would be involved between the two parties, it is known and understood that hunters take care of their own. Of course, such assistance was not without its price tag, and the arbitration of payment after the fact could often put a substantial dent in any expected profit.

Do you understand this" Kal asked sternly.

 

[Ben]

(Lol, a creed is also a belief, but I had a feeling I had gotten then mixed up).

He slowly replied to this now, "Yes...of course."

 

[Niner]

((No worries, the hunters creed is actually the laws that are layed down.))

"Good, now tell me, why did you become one of us, a Hunter?"

 

[Ben]

"Ever since I had entered an academy, I learned how to become a skilled warrior, and since then, I made a vow to be a bounty hunter. Maybe it was in my blood... I dont know, it just came to me." He thought of the times he had aced the tests in the academy with great skill.

 

[Niner]

"I know you can kill, I saw you do it, but can you kill with a clean consience?" Kal asked him pointedly.

 

[Ben]

"Yes, if it is my prey I am after, I have no whatsoever thought in my mind of what will happen in the end, I just do it. The lust for blood is in my heart, and I get my job done without any concern on what I have done." Ben replied this truthfully, after all, it had been the truth.

 

[Niner]

"But what if an innocent gets in the way, will you kill them for no reason other then they midly inconvineced you?"

 

[Ben]

"I would find another way to my enemy, and I would never risk an innocent persons life if it meant seeking a bounty." He replied to Kal easily.

 

[Niner]

"Good, I have rejected other candidates for the guild because their bloodlust was too great, slaughtering anyone in there path, now tell me more about this academy you went to, and your past."
