"Kayda will be interested in seeing them," says one to the other. The other shrugs."I guess so..." he says. "Come on then."
Gallador will look around while being led,to Kayda, assessing how many men and what resources he has.
I understand that people guarding the doors to Red didn`t wear the same symbols as him men (White Stripes I think) ?
The stripes were a mark of authority rather than affiliation so some of Kayda's men wear them.
You are led through a much more open area of the upper mine, with large areas like those down on green, except with proper walls, ceilings and walkways. You can also hear the distinct bass thump-thump! of a large, slow machine somewhere in the background. Mean are busying themselves all around at various tasks, many turning to look at you.
Eventually you come to a small complex of buildings inside the mine, with their own surrounding fortifications of wire and the like. Guards there stop you and your guards and ask what the hell is going on. Your guards say you are here to see Kayda, and from this a a vehement argument starts to develop.
From one of the buildings comes a man- not a massive man but clearly in good form; grizzled, scarred, dark-haired and wearing light combat armour, with two blades and a pistol at his waist.
"Someone want to fill me in on this damned noise?" says Kayda. "I'm getting edgy."

He shrugs."And?"
"You should see these men," says one of your guards. "You'll be... interested."
"Why's that?" says Kayda.
"We are powerful. It was us that destroyed the Lantarnas family of the Golden Serpent.
Also, some of us, namely Galder here, were a close associates of Kuylen, as, according to our information, you were....
But right now, we need haven on the Red, since apparently the other leaders and that Kai bastard want our heads... perhaps we could find a solution to mutual benefit?"
"You'll be interested in seeing them," says one of the guards. Kayda raises an eye for a moment, and then brings his hand to his face.
"You weak worthless wretches!" he says. "Get back to your damn posts before I shoot you." They look alarmed for a moment before scurrying away.
"See," says Kayda, "I can make people do as I say as well. Doesn't take your magic for that." He turns around and heads back to his hut. "I suppose you'd better come in."
Kayda leads you through to what pretty much seems like an office- he slumps behind a desk, with all sorts of paperwork and personal knick-knacks around; he has clerks working on stuff around him. Further afield, this area is full of creates of supplies and the like.
"Don't you forget it," says Kayda. "What were you messing with the Lantarnas clan for? Easy way to make enemies. Leave them to their drug-addled den, I say."

"Well, we got inolved in their power struggle and betrayed by our allies.... they ended dead, of course, Force has a habit of delivering our enemies to us." Gallador speaks with a dark smile.
"I cannot help but notice that you brought quite an order to a filthy and rotten place like this prison, Kuylen was also known for his leadership skills and discipline..."
"Dead? What difference does that make? A Lantarnas is like a hydra; kill one and a dozen more appear claiming the family name. Which, seeing as they say Siva Lantarnas' womanising was only just second to his thievery, might often be true.
"I run a tight ship. Pirates might look like a rabble to outsiders, but all the successful clans know the benefit of organisation."

"So you were a pirate before Datura, not surprising at all.... I quess you didn`t end here for distrupting the taxing efforts of Rivas?"
"Rivas is a pirate. They are ALL pirates; they just got their organisation together and changed their names. Rivas' so-called Imperial chair is no better than the bridge seat of a pirate lord who puts his son in line to rule. But Rivas certainly thought the people I was running with were pirates. One day, a fight got the worse of me. It happens.
"What's your story?"

"I was once a proud member of the Jedi Order, but I left after seeing how pathetic it is in its limitations. Jedi are the people with the greatest capability to change how things are, but they let the galaxy fall apart before their eyes, fearing to take action, fearing to use the full power of the Force.... Gallador seems to be lost in his thoughts for a moment, than shakes his head.
"Anyway, me and my comrades got together to achive something despite the Galactic goverment doing its best to kill us and seek opportunites for more than survival.... currently we came here, looking for Larios Kuylen."
