Zalis Krales

There was nothing but an eye roll from Zalis as Delta attempted to discourage her from harassing the crew. He’s tense and needs a good kriffing. It was the only thing she could think of to keep her from getting too mad at him. She understood why he said it, as it most likely wasn’t helping to crew, so she walked away from them and instead towards Delta and the Trandoshan, who appeared along for a ride with them. She heard the last part of what Delta told the Trandoshan, and the response from the bounty hunter.

“Twenty only Delta, the funds aren’t quite there for twenty-five. Although, I will let you have access to the laborites on Ord Mantell to test out whatever you want if twenty is too low for you.”

She said the last part directed towards the Trandoshan bounty hunter. And she thought upon it more of what Delta had declared before she responded fully to the situation.

“Although… I think if a high value target was acquired alive… Twenty-five could be arranged for the information and usefulness I could get out of them.”

Zalis took only a moment to walk to the front of the bridge and look around before the drink Delta had offered her kicked in. She made the super obvious face of tasting strong alcohol before she bent over backwards slightly before making a wild jump forward with a shout of excitement. She made a comment to herself about being limber enough to strangle someone with her legs, but no one actually heard her, which only brought up some slight disappointment. She decided to take some time to observe the bridge of the vessel she was on, Mephistopheles is what it was called, or at least that’s what she remembers it being called.

“Ma’am, would you like for me to-“ “Seriously… Don’t call me ma’am. You may address me as Zalis or the Vice Queen, or the Queen of Vice. Anything else and I’ll remove your nether region.”

The man stumbled where he stood for a second as he tried to process how he was supposed to respond. After a long moment passed, she prompted him to finish

“If you can’t handle being interrupted, maybe you shouldn’t speak to someone who is over you…”

He quickly pulled himself together and stood at attention.

“I was just going to ask if you would like for me to show you around the bridge and what is has to offer. We’re used to Delta. Rumor has it, you only join us when you’re bored or mad at someone…”

And there it was. The sly curl of her own lips in amusement that she held such a reputation. While it was true, the last two times she had been onboard a war ship was out of boredom and looking for fun, she held no clue as to where the rumor of her being mad at someone came from. She actually thought it was slightly fitting though. And to be honest, the very last time was Kashyyyk, and there was a purpose behind it. She wanted resources from the planet and wanted to make sure that Delta behaved enough for her to get them. Offering up a gentler smile to the lad, she changed her posture to one of playfulness again.

“No thank you. I’d prefer to observe everything for myself. Besides… My rage hasn’t quite cooled off yet…”

She let her words hang as she turned away from him and began to walk behind some of the officers on the bridge, all of whom had heard what she said and tensed up as she passed by them. And this is where my fun begins…

Zalis lifted her right eyebrow in full on amusement yet smiled so warmly regardless of the unexpected and forced pull in tight. Her own posture changed to a more relaxed state upon realizing that Delta was doing this all for show. Upon his own release of her, she almost flat out giggled her words.

“You’re in good spirits. Wish you could offer me a drink that would make me feel that way.”

Without any hesitation, Zalis took off her coat and let it drop upon the floor of the ship. Upon doing so, it revealed her blaster at her side, along with two vibro daggers.

“You mentioned a war zone coming up. I want in. We had fun on Bothawui. I want to recreate that fun.”

Even as she said it, she moved herself close to him and gave him a slight ball tap before taking a step back and glancing at the deck officers, provided them with a wink that might have hinted she was an easy target to hit on. It would be rather unfortunate if they did try though, as she would remove parts from them that she was sure they enjoyed having. In regards to making credits, she had plenty of other options bringing in credits and she could work on them later. At least with this fun with the Imperial Remnant was an easy target from the sounds of it. It would keep her flexible for other needs.

Zalis was quick to track down Delta after she had landed onboard the Scarab. She knew that he would be pleased with some of the weapons and progress she was making on Ord Mantell. As she walked, she posted a special operations upon the Bounty Hunter's Network. Walking up to Delta, who was now with a few other people thats he did not recognize, she gave only a head nod to everyone present.

"Delta, I must say, I would have thought you would have made a bigger mess in a battlefield here. Glad to see that you're alive and still kicking. No worries about about Thyferra, if Agent Nathan had even sent the message to you. They back out of the deal. I'm going to try a new angle before I let you blow it up. But since you clearly have a new target in mind, may I show you what the factories on Ord Mantell has produced for us to try."

Zalis made a very loud snap with her fingers to have LP4 present the other Black Sun Vigo with the present she promised to show him.

"Their other progress has stalled out, but they offered up this as a way to cool my anger. They have a full week to produce something that's a bit more worth my excitement then this garbage, but at least it's a new toy. This is the hardworking of Project Kyber Dart: A blaster that holds a dual purpose. The whole frame work is designed around the main mechanics of the Wookiee's Bowcaster. It fires a quarrel that is strong enough to prices through many of the armors. But upon hitting something that it cannot pierce, or if the quarrel is broken by say, a lightsaber. Then it explodes into shrapnel and the gas pellets on the sides release, making it a dangerous weapon to be used against any foe."

Zalis glanced around at the Trandoshan, whom she now began to wonder if he was someone worth testing out the other. The scientists gave her three. She wanted Delta to try one, and she was willing to tag along into the battlefield to give one of the others a try. But she would need someone to have the third...

************************* TROS ARDELL ***************************************

All Tros could do was give a nod of his head to Terra, all of which she couldn't see as she was focused ahead. He used the slave controls in his buy'ce to his ship, Swift Justice, to have it jump to hyperspace and follow them to Qat Chrystac, a planet that in his entire time of being a beroya had never heard of. But if that was where they would go to honor Kad Ha'rangir, then that was going to be the place he would follow Terra.

************************* ZALIS KRALES ***************************************

Zalis felt a slight twinge of annoyance that Delta wasn’t even on the surface of the planet, but she wasn’t going to turn around to go to him without first finishing what she wanted to do; Setup a Black Sun presence in the black market on Onderon. He would be able to wait. Although she had to remember that being onboard the Sith warship was not his fault. Her disappointment would have to remain out of her voice.

“Yeah, sorry Delta. Bespin was lost to the Imperial Remnant. But there are much bigger mynocks to catch. We can get Bespin back at a later time. For now, I have something that I want tested out, and I think that I know the perfect spot to test it. Have you seen the report from Yurri Kane? I’ll fill you in on the full details in a bit. For now, I’m looking to establish our presence within the black market. It shouldn’t take long. I’ll be up your way in a solid hour. I’m sure our allies would love to hear the details.”

Zalis put the commlink down and handed the briefcase over to LP4. She then spent her time working the crowds and the market dealers to find out exactly what she needed along with who she needed to know. After around 50 minutes of walking around and talking to people, she was able to start the ball rolling by providing a small investment in the two dealers who were willing to be black market sellers, along with a promise to allow for Black Sun to put their own supplies into the market through them. She made notes of who they were so that anytime an agent, Vigo, or ally needed something, she could point them in the right direction. After she had finished and made it back to her ship, it had been around an hour and twenty-five minutes since she told Delta she would be an hour. She then had her ship lift off to board with the Scarab.

The Supremacy blasted out of hyperspace above Onderon in a fashion that almost demanded attention. It was very fitting for Zalis make her way to Onderon, as it was a place that held a few spots that could really strengthen the credit flow for Black Sun. Rumors had it that Malgan Market in Iziz held a decent black-market trade, and a few other spots that would allow for Zalis to make shop. This visit would end up proving very worth her time if she could establish a good connection. Plus, she needed to see Delta to pass of some field test weapons for him to play around with.

The Supremacy landed and Zalis was quick to make her way off the ship, accompanied by XP7, LP4 and LP9, leaving WP6, WP5 and LP8 on the ship. As she walked off and into the main streets, she was stopped by the dock authorities to check her starport visa.

“Ma’am, we need to make sure that you’r-you’re … Zalis. Face of Black Sun… Killer of men… I didn’t think you held any inte-“ “Queen of vice.”

There was a flash of confusion in the man face as he looked at Zalis very puzzled by her interruption. Zalis offered up a smile to the dazed and confused man.

“It’s actually, Zalis, face of Black Sun, killer of men, the queen of vice. I interrupted you, from the top.”

It was then that Zalis gave the man a wink. The man could only keep his stupid confused face which only made her more upset with him. After a few seconds passed by and the man couldn’t get over his stupid face, she began to move past him.

“Alright, I don’t have time for this. LP9, deal with him and whatever he needs. I need to find Delta.”

She was very intentional with looking up and down every shop keeper and what they had on their displays. They would be a very good indication on who the shopkeepers were and if they would be the source for her to follow for the black-market. Upon making it halfway up the street of the market, she pulled out her commlink and sent Delta a message.

“Hey Delta, I have a present for you. Where are you at?”

On the Bounty Hunter's Network appeared a contract from Black Sun.

Zalis entered the main lobby hall of Black Castle and began to make her way towards her own personal hangar bay where her ship awaited her. She could see that XP7 and LP4 both moved through the doors carrying cases that held what she wanted to have field tested, while LP8 and LP9 stood awaiting for her. There was also a random employee standing next to them, but upon seeing her, turned and moved back to wherever he was supposed to be stationed.

“Give me some good news LP9.”

The droid turned its head in what could almost be described as a jolted shocked motion. Although she was very well aware that the droid held no emotions and had several memory wipes to ensure this.

“Ma’am, the Supremacy has been loaded and is being primed as we speak. I also have WP6 and WP5 ready to pilot us to Onderon, as per your orders. I did run into a security issue though while trying to post contract 473287-I-1, otherwise called Project Dark Wood. It requires authorization of a Vigo for such a high status. I have it setup to be posted upon us boarding the Supremacy. Yurri also gave me a file for you to review for our trip in regards to Mythic Target.”

Zalis arched an eyebrow out of the news she received, although this time, it was fully out of amusement. She honestly didn’t think to have any information on Mythic Target but would happily except whatever she could. Taking the datapad from the droids hands, she moved towards the ship and had the two droids follow her. After she had boarded, the ship was up in the air and headed for Onderon.

Zalis showed up on the lab level, which was thirteen floors below the main one, and outside of the basement level below the main floor, only authorized personnel knew or had access to the lab floor. It was designed to be so far away from the public that no one would be able to detect it, and so far removed from other floors and deep down that no sensors from space would ever be able to know of it's existence. As she walked out of the turbolift doors, she was greeted quickly by two men standing guard lazily and had to recover upon seeing how it was. They moved to the side and allowed for her to use the hand and eye scan to gain access to the labs beyond the door. Once she was cleared, she walked in to smell a mix of harsh scents that made her want to vomit quickly upon the floor that she walked. She would have worried about her own safety of smelling such things, but she also knew that the main area where she walked was under protocol to remain hazard free.

"So tell me gentlemen, I have heard some reports on Project Madness that makes me a bit... unhappy."

There was four males working in main room. A Rodian, a Mon Calamari, and two Twi'leks. In the back labs beyond the range of hearing anything that Zalis was saying were a few more workers that she could not actually see their species. Although, she did remember that from the portfolios that there should be three humans in the mix. The Rodian stood up from his desk and quickly bowed before Zalis as he moved closer to her.

"Ma'am, the results are temperamental for the moment. We all told you that it would take up to three years before we could produce such a weapon for you. Phrik and Cortosis are really hard materials to merge. The minerals that make them up are in fact, resistant."

'So incompetence is your excuse. I remember very clearly asking you that if paired up with at least one more scientist in your field that you could do it in half the time and your answer was, and I quote... 'Beyond doable.' Since I brought twelve of you together, all of your reputations are proving to be... unqualified."

The Rodian looked panicked all of a sudden and began to tremor with fear that his life could be taken by the woman who was known to end the careers and lives of those who failed her. One of the Twi'lek's stood up and intervened. Brave, but incredibly stupid. He placed himself between Zalis and the Rodian.

"Ma'am, if you are angry with those results, perhaps I can advert your attention to Project Kyber Dart?"

The Twi'lek quickly snapped his own fingers at the other two to bring the project to her. The Mon Calamari was the one who brought it off a desk and moved very quickly to stand next to the Twi'lek who stood before her. He then offered her up a blaster.

"If you recall Ma'am, you had requested blaster that would hold a dual purpose. We think that such a weapon like this is exactly what you were looking for. The whole frame work is designed around the main mechanics of the Wookiee's Bowcaster. It fires a quarrel that is strong enough to prices through many of the armors that we could have tested. But upon hitting something that it cannot pierce, or if the quarrel is broken by say, a lightsaber... Then it explodes into shrapnel and the gas pellets on the sides release, making it a dangerous weapon to be used against any foe..."

Even as the scientist spoke, Zalis examined the blaster. It looked like a fairly similar weapon to what she had seen before, but until ti was tested in the field, she would have no clue to the actual potency of the weapon. Looking up to see almost all of the scientists shaking just slightly in fear, and the other Twi'lek held the two other prototype blasters designed, she handed it back to them.

"I guess this requires a field test then. I'll take all three with me on my next journey. Have them sent up to XP9 for delivery into the field. But consider this a warning... this is not a success. It's an offering, and one that I simply do not need. Next time, you had better offer up more. Otherwise I will take your life for such incompetence and failure."

With that, Zalis turned and began to head back to the turbolift and to the main lobby of Black Castle.

Zalis watched with a raise eyebrow that showed how annoyed she was with the Mandalorians. Once they had full left the building, she turned towards XP3 and Yurri Kane, the receptionist at the new found Head Quarters for Black Sun.

"Make a note for me, don't invite Mandalorians to our jobs. Or at least have Delta provide me with with ways to contact better ones."

Zalis began to walk away from the main desk but stopped rather short upon realizing she wanted something from the receptionist.

"Actually... how is the lab testing going on Project Madness?"

XP3 spoke up quickly. "Oh Ma'am, the reports have been good from what have seen. Songsteel and Cortosis seem to be merging fairly well. Although I have heard that they are working hard to forge and use Neuranium and Phrik. Although, they are having far less decent results." Zalis held up a hand to stop the droid.

"Thank you very much. I may want to take a sample to Delta. Have XP7 and LP4 and LP8 join me down in the labs. Continue to see what sort of information you can come up with on the whereabouts of Mythic Target. I'll want a report within the next two weeks. Also... Yurri, post a job contract from Project Dark Wood. Let's get that piece moving. I'm sure our... allies would love to see results in that area."

With that, Zalis turned and began to walk towards the labs at Black Castle.

Zalis looked from one Mandalorian to the other as she raised her right eyebrow. She had suspected as much from the declining culture, yet now it was more evident before her now.

"So indulgence for ignorance. I had hoped that the rumors were less true, but it would appear otherwise."

Almost as soon as she finished, LP2, the droid she had sent for the items came around the corner with everything in it's arms.

"That list as you referred to it, is actually very standard, and many smugglers decide upon whether they want to take on the contract or not based upon price and if they really can pull of the job. Rarely do bounty hunters take it, but some do out of sheer lack of work. The bears and plants must be brought back whole and fully intact. Failure to do so will result in a dock of pay. Since I'm going to assume you wouldn't do any research, Ironwithe is what the Renda bears eat. Take the bears first if you want to live long enough to get paid."

The droid finally stood beside her, and Zalis opened up the briefcase looking crate to reveal it's contents.

"3 different types of chemicals. I want for you to use these after you collected the bears and plants. Because I do not know fully what they will do, I want my prize of the bears and plants first. The chemicals should be used accordingly. One for a water test, one for a soil test, and finally, one for an air test. The four pieces of surveillance equipment are as follows. two for the ground, placed within 100 yards of where you conducted the chemical test. The other two are space worthy. I want them there."

Zalis then shut the case and lifted it by the handle and extended it towards the two Mandalorians.

"And of course, destroy the evidence means leave nothing that could show that you were there. The surveillance equipment is designed to decompose on the surface after a standard week passes."

The man who was operating the front desk along with a droid watched as the two Mandalorian’s walked in. The two introduced themselves as a pair whom Zalis must have been expecting. The man held a rather annoyed look on his face, but the droid seemed happy to comply without hesitation. With a very feminine/robotic voice, it let its voice ring out.

“Oh yes, Ms. Krales has been expecting you. She told us very specific instructions that she would have someone interested in the recent job posting. She seems to think that such a contract as the one she put out would draw the attention of smugglers more than mercenaries such as yourself, but as long as someone took the job. Those were her exact words. I know that she is currently busy meeting with the local casino owners, trying to get them to se-“

The droid cut out as the man working the table reached over and flipped a switch on the back of the droid’s neck and offered up an apologetic glance their way.

“Sorry bout that. XP3 seems to have a quirk where she talks… unnecessarily and too much. I’ve sent a page for Ms. Krales. She will be here shortly.”

And with that, he returned to his own work on a datascreen that the two Mandalorian’s could not see.

**** Meeting Room ****

Zalis sat within her black pants and white overcoat that was buttoned up at the head of the desk. Her feet were up upon the table as she held a datapad in her hand, and a very unamused look upon her face. On her complete opposite end sat a man who would be by any standard; obese. In fact, she was well aware that the man weighed over 500 pounds. His weight must have been a reason that the other owners looked to him to make decisions regarding overall policy, as they refused to answer any questions and would instead just turn towards him until he spoke. His words, which seemed to be getting near spitting level as he was frustrated by her.

“Ma’am, I understand that your company has a reputation of increasing sales of the locations that you go to, and that—Why are you looking so bored? This whole meeting was your idea.”

Zalis let her eyes roll for a moment before putting her feet down on the floor and laying the datapad down.

“I’m bored by you. You seem to be under the impression that your little tiny casino is worth much on this backwater world. You don’t get something for nothing. My deal remains on the table. If the other gentleman at this table can find their voice and balls before it’s too late, maybe we can work something out. For now, you all have a week to decide. Businesses that do not sign the deal will not get the harvest. Good day.”

She made sure that her voice sounded that it was all done. The owners all slowly got up and left. Zalis sat in her chair and continued to look over the datapad. The largest casino wasn’t worth much, they only brought in 500 credits a week. Although their records didn’t show the full spending that all of them were claiming. Poor fools. Completely unaware of the disaster they’re walking into. Once the room cleared, she took notice that she had her mercs here waiting for the needed supplies. Picking up her comm, she paged for one of her droids to bring the needed equipment to the front, and she herself walked up to greet them.

“Greetings. You’ve arrived faster than what I was expecting for you to. I’m Zalis Krales, the one who put out the contract for this job. What sort of questions might you have directly for me before the supplies arrive?”

A return message came in from Ord Mantell Black Sun headquarters on a secure line.

"The information you may be seeking is in regards to the animals and planets. They are all on Bogden, and this job will require a ship with enough size to transport fairly large cargo. The rest of the information and tools that you may need can be picked up at Sandorne Palace in the city of Worlport on Ord Mantell. There Ms. Krales will meet with you."

Zalis arrived to the planet that she would make her personal home base outside of Dark Sun station. She landed her ship within the newly minted hangar bay for the new head quarters for Black Sun on the water and mountain ranged filled planet. Sandorne Palace looked like the progress of construction had been very successful over the past few weeks, making the palace very large and now the very central thing anyone would see upon entering Worlport city. She was greeted at the bottom of her landing ramp of her ship, Supremacy.

"Milady, the construction literally finished last night. As you requested, we offered up our guest suites to the local casino owners. Many are now waking up this morning and enjoying the breakfast we provided them... We have also received a call on your behalf..."

"I know. The casino owners will meet with me within two hours. I want for the needed files to be ready for them. The call you received is in regards to the contract I posted. They are most likely looking for details. I will return their call within my own personal chambers. Until then... Take the extra funds from this building project and bring in some of the dregs of this city. I have use for them."

She was quick to dismiss him and make her way to her own chambers to prepare for the meeting with the local casino owners and send the details of the job to whatever bounty hunter felt like they needed to credits. This was the turn of the Black Sun. They would now control many markets and have a decent supply of credits always flowing in.

Zalis was feeling rather upset with how the outcome turned out, as such a large scale offer would not come their way again. She truly wanted and needed this planet to align with her so that she could control some out the more of the other sources of the free market. But it would seem like she would not get her wish today. She turned towards both Nath Corun and Madclaw Cadwallon.

"This trip has proven to be very disappointing. I want for you both to report in to Delta and let him know that I am letting him have his chance at the planet now. Otherwise, I have a need for something blown up on another planet if either of you are interested. If not, do what makes you happy or brings us more credits. I'm heading to Ord Mantell. I have much needed and overdue work that needs to be done there."

Zalis handed Nath a data pad that held information on what she wanted to go boom and then she turned around and headed back to her ship. There was a lot of things that she needed to get done on Ord Mantell, and with the rest of Black Sun adding the Sith, she would need to do these things herself. She boarded he Supremacy, got dressed back into her normal working clothes and then took off.

On the Bounty Hunter's Network appeared a contract from Black Sun.

Zalis smiled and allowed for the small talk to begin, as was customary during such events as this one. It was filled with some playful banter, talk of recent politics, and the occasional push of their own favoritism of the warring factions. Zalis cared not for a single ounce of it, but she knew that in order to buy such strong companies, she would need to play along. After the talk continued for a while through some appetizers and the main course, dessert had arrived--to which she knew all too well, it was the time to make a push. Sweets and a seductive female always put men into positions of weakness. It was her way of making kills both literally and figuratively. Today would be no different.

"Gentleman, I think that now is a good time to talk about price. I know that you have had offers to buy you out in the past, and some of them were very well tempting. But I have some research to help back my proposal, along with terms that you will find with no other offer."

Zalis amde a simple maneuver to with her right hand as she played with her hair. It slowly let the back of her dress down just a bit, only enough to show some cleavage and imply what she wanted to imply, which is that she was at their disposal.

"From one of my companies that I own, HealthiDrive, we have come into funds that should allow for us to be able to do some research on synthetic growth, doubling out the product of bacta. We have already tested this system on a few other items, very similar to Bacta, and the results are promising indeed. I can make a promise that with allowing us to buy your companies gentleman, the bacta that you worked so hard make and build your companies from the ground up will see a 65% increase in revenue-25% at the minimum. On top of that, along with two other offers you had received in the past two years, I will match them. 965,000 credits for the overall purchase, along with a chance to have buyout years added of 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5 percent of the revenue still headed your way after each selling year. I will also allow for you to remain apart of the company as site directors earning a pay of 65,000 credits a year."

Zalis now made sure to lean back, letting her dress drop just a little bit more. She needed these powerful men to want her enough to sell to her.

((Diplomatic Invasion Shot Request))

Zalis lifted her right eyebrow upon hearing a voice that sounded like a rage filled Wookiee. Although the beast anger was very evident through the comlink, there was a lot of truth spoken. Yes, much like every planet and cooperation, there is always a price. Quickly, she responded back.

"Clearance has been given. We are to meet with Xucphra and the Zaltin Corporation within two hours at the Ashern Dining Hall in Xozhixi. I want for you both to be on your best behavior. I want the companies to sell to us. Also remember, it's very humid and hot on the surface."

Zalis didn't give a chance for a response, as she cut the transmission and followed the coordinates given to her that allowed for her to land in the main city's spaceport. As she landed, she took her time to get ready for the dinner meeting within her own ship choosing an outfit that she knew would be provocative enough to engage a response from any species. Of course, her colors on her slim fitting dress-like outfit always held white, black, and red. After an hour passed by of her putting on her outfit and makeup on, she left her ship. Her dress did of course allow for her to conceal her weapons, as did all of her outfits. It was a natural requirement for her. The ability to look seductive enough to attract all, yet deadly enough for her to make a quick kill if needed.

She made her way to the Ashern Dining Hall and checked in for her, her two agents, and the hosts, Xucphra and the Zaltin Corporation. This would be an evening that she could not afford to have pass by without her sealing the deal.

About twelve LN protocol droids had arrived on planet, along with 14 Black Sun Agents around the time the planet grew dark. They were sent by Zalis Krales to begin construction on a new project. At the main center most part of town, a spot that was close to the spaceport, the casinos, a junkyard, and all other sorts of whore houses and black markets shops, they were to build a large building that would resemble a castle. They came armed with very specific instructions on details of stones, gems, carpet, layouts and designs of the overall structure. Within it, it would have direct access to a tunnel system that would have a transit trams that would travel underground from the Castle that would be called, Sandorne Palace, to a far off junkyard building that would be used for Black Sun to constantly create new weapons, armor, and poisons that could be sold in the back market or to allies that were in need of them. Thus began a long three weeks of building Sandorne Palace.

Zalis carefully looked out at the planet from her ship, The Supremacy and gave a slow head nod. As she piloted towards the capital city of Xozhixi, she opened her comm to begin conversations.

"This is Zalis Krales, I am here to toss some credits around and talk about lines of communication."

Zalis almost laughed when Delta said he needed to wait to tap the young girl.

"Delta, you've already have a listed seven planets long. One more added to the list wouldn't hurt. Although having her daddy kill you wouldn't d us good anyways."

Zalis took his cue of adjusting his blaster as a chance to look around the hangar bay but her attention was quickly brought back upon hearing him speak of Bacta.

"Oh, Delta... That's speaking my love language. Credits. Bacta is worth a ton right now, fifty thousand a gallon to be precise... I'll leave right away. And please, if the fleet is needed... Don't shoot anything important."

Zalis blew him a kiss as she turned to board her ship again. Traveling to a planet that could help them gain even more credits was always worth it for her. The more they had, the more they could get what they wanted. Credits were a source of power, and one that she lusted after heavily. She would make sure that Black Sun controlled bacta. And upon owning the major source of it, they would lord it over those who stood against them. Zalis had her ship, The Supremacy lifted and hyperspace bound within five minutes on it's way to Thyferra.

Zalis couldn't help but roll her eyes upon seeing the holodisplay that Delta showed her of what had happened.

"Delta... Actually... I don't know what I expected..."

It was a slow realization that such a requested to have things taken without any damage to the goods was a little bit of a far stretch. Letting out a sigh, she shrugged her own shoulders as she let that disappointment die out.

"At least this hairball infested planet doesn't have any must have resources for us. Thyferra will be a much bigger target for resources for us... Whose the girl?"

Zalis choose to ignore the other male, who looked like he was intently focused on something that was beyond her. Although she was not blind to Delta's own movements towards his belt where his weapons were at upon the man's approach.

Zalis took a long moment to make sure that the assets she requested from the agents were secured before she left her tactical station on The Marie. Making sure she was still red with what she needed, she took her own personal vessel, The Supremacy and left to join up with the The Bleeding Kyber, where Delta was sure to be. Or at least the tracking reference she had for him was located on the ship. As she made the transfer, she walked somewhat rather confidently through the ship towards Delta, even though the ship belonged to the Sith, and the last one she interacted with she blew off. But there was no time for regrets, that galaxy was moving forward and waited for no one. The flames of war were beginning to spread. Her own motivates held nothing personal against those that she helped murder and kill. It was just good business.

Finally finding the man known as Delta in his old clone armor standing near a man and a young girl in the hangar bay that she had just landed in, she slowed her pace as she approached the three, only to be greeted by a smell that was unpleasant and unfamiliar to her. Hold her nose, she spoke rather bluntly not caring for the audience around her.

"Something or someone smells like they tried to bathe within Thala- Sirens milk..."

Zalis did her best to put her hand down off her nose before she spoke directly to Delta, ignoring the other two for the moment.

"All targets of interest were taken without too much damage, except for Ittummi. But it only held a command center and a food processing center. We can do without those. I still have no word from anyone on the status of Okikuti, which holds a mining facility. I am very interested in that city's current state."

Zalis watched from a tactical screen on The Marie as those who were far better suited at combat, had their feet on the ground and making large scale attacks in locations all over the forest covered planet. She watched them very carefully and then sought out something that was far better for the teams to collect. She sent a quick page comlink message to all of the agents on the surface of the planet.

"Agents, Okikuti, Chenachochan and Ittummi. Those are high value target cities. They all have resources that would make this occupation and take over worth it long term. Please make those a top priority targets. Zalis Out."

Zalis then turned towards a screen to help move other funds to clear room for items taken in from Kashyyyk.
