Kuylen arrives some 30 minutes later. His military uniform is not overtly displayed, for he is wearing his Jedi robes, which causes a few odd glances, though he could be a traveller from any outlying system. He walks over to you two and pulls down his hood, revealing his smart, bearded features and braided hair.
"You two wanted in?" he asks, curtly.
-
Galder... this place looks like a DUMP! Anyway, the traffic control from the military zone is calling you.
"Good," says Kuylen. "We are heading to Hutt space. I will tell you more when we are there. Get your stuff and come with me.
"One other thing. Now you are with me, you are dead men. Those bounties you speak of? From this moment on they apply to you as well. You will have to PROVE yourself worthy of life for no-one will give you second chances on Nar Shadda."
-
Rex, traffic control immediately asks you for full details of where the pirates attacked you, what their ships looked like, why they attacked you, what your cargo is, what your business was near here in the first place, and how you got away.
It sounds like he is reading it from a list. But with some urgency.
-
Dexx... people LIVE on that planet? From orbit it looks like a large brown, dusty rock.
Galder gives them unclear details. "I'm not sure where they attacked me, but probably near the edge of the system. Their ships were painted red, maybe the Red Lance pirates. They probably mistook me for a wanted man, for I have nothing valuable onboard. My cargo is just me and my good friend, Taruk. Like I said, I was on the edge of the system, and was not going to be coming to Tartarus until I was attacked, and Tartarus seemed to be the closest friendly planet on my star charts. My ship is armed, so I got away with fire power and speed. I was hit on the way out and my hyperdrive needs repairs, which I can do myself. I've been flying at sublight speeds for four days."
He talks to Chion for a second. "Hope you don't mind the name Taruk. You might have to use it when we land..."
"I've pretty much given up my bounty hunter status anyway. I have all the money I need (we're talking LOTS of cash, up in the millions because of my gambling and dead father's wealth), so I'm good. I'll meet you on Nar Shadda, Kuylen. I plan to make my service worth your while..."
When Wraith returns to his apartment, he begins packing some of his things. Most he will leave in his apartment, mostly just the everday stuff like his computer and furniture. No one will be able to track him by his name to this apartment. After all, he did use an assumed name when he bought it.
He begins putting on his armor, which is remarkably light in contrast to how heavy it looks. Last of all he puts on his helmet. The eye holes have electrobinoculars wired into them so that he can see at far distances, as well as night vision. It has the disturbing likeness to a horse's skull with rotting flesh still attached, but made of metal. He then straps his five lightsabers to his belt and heads for the docking bay in which his ship is stored across town.
"You are dead men," says Kuylen, "because that is what they call a man with a bounty on his head who is stupid enough to enter Hutt space. That is why you must earn their respect, and mine. But do not be stupid enough to make war on the Hutts or you will find yourself rather more traditionally dead."
Kuylen gives you a rendezvous of where to meet in Nar Shdda. You may travel in his ship or your own.
-
Galder, the traffic control man seems unhappy.
"What were you doing out of hyperspace on the edge of this system in the first place? Why do you make reference to a pirate atack that none of our sensors picked up? And your ship appears to be undamaged."
Crap, Galder, there are three fighters following you, well within sensor range.
"This area is under military jurisdiction. Stand down and prepare to be boarded."
-
Takuan, you are busy getting permission to land.
"About damn time," comes a cultured voice from the other end of the comms.
"I'll travel in my own ship. See you at Nar Shaddaa." I get up. Turning on a communicator wirerd into one of my gauntlets, I say into it, "X-5, ready the ship. Set coordinates for Nar Shaddaa." I then leave the bar, heading for the docking bays where my ship is housed.
When I get there, X-5 has just finished refueling the Dawn. I check the cargo area for supplies (good) and tag-alongs (bad), then get into the cockpit and take off. I like to get a quick start on things.
takuan is somewhat surprised to see apparently no buildings. He knows though, that this is a place forging enough to have trained such skilled warriors as the miramar. He gets up from his eat by now and heads for the ship's exit ramp as it goes down. He looks at the twi'lek(guy or chick..whatever) no more.
