Finishing his cigarette, he stood up, and as he walked over to her, said

 

"I wouldnt worry about that. She had a small group of ronins men out looking for you." Slipping his arm around her waist, he kissed her gently, before pulling back slowly and grabbing a towel.

 

Heading into the refresher, he had a shower and a shave, cleaning himself up completely, before walking back into the room, and getting changed. Once again kissing her, he said

 

"Perhaps we ought to find her... I havent really had a chance to get a good look at this place yet. Theres definately going to be some work to catch up on."

 

Out of habit, he strapped his weapons around his waist, along with his tools and the general equipment he used day to day for tinkering with the ships. He really aught to get a suit or two, he was apparently a business man now. Stuffing his comm link, his cigarettes, his lighter and his wallet into various pockets, he slipped his arm around brinas waist and walked out with her, looking for his sister.

A blood red Loranar Strike Cruiser,The Kraken, emerged from hyperspace and immediately docking procedures commenced. Soon the pirate flagship was hidden inside the facility, making the pirate presense, while still quite apparent, a little less conspicuous. The Pirate King was found in the Lobby, standing legs apart with his cane in the center--holding the most of his weight. He looked uncharacteristically presentable, with a black suit and tie on underneath his red coat. The glass cane helped the illusion slightly, but the stitching that held the fresh bullet holes of his coat closed told the truth about him though. Ronin wore a pair of orange glasses to obscure his eyes as he waited to be met.

The droid at the roulette table accepted the man's bet. This time his luck had changed for the better... the droid announced that he had won this round.

 

"Would you like to bet again sir?"

 

---

 

Zara gazed back at Malachi.

 

"So you do want a job." She looked him over, giving it some thought. "I might have a position for you... you can work for my brother. He's been wanting an... assistant of sorts. You can work out wages with him, but lodgings will be included with your pay."

 

Zara motioned for him to follow her over to the receptionist in the hotel lobby.

 

"Book this gentleman into a staff room. He'll be answering to Kat. Please inform my brother that his assistant is booked in here." She turned back to Malachi, "Expect to hear from my brother. Welcome to the Link's organisation."

 

She winked at him before turning to leave. Zara walked through into another section of the Casino, though another hotel lobby, stopping short as she took in a new arrival. Her breath quickened, her face lighting up in a wide, happy grin. She took a slow step forward before taking half a skip, breaking into a run, ignoring the looks from employee's and guests alike as she flung herself into the Pirate King's arms.

 

"Ronin! I've missed you so much!"

"Definately," Brina agreed.

 

The two made their way to the hotel lobby, hoping to find Zara. They had just turned the corner in time to see Zara run up to Ronin and throw her arms around him.

 

"Looks like there has been more than one happy reunion on this place recently," Brina remarked softly to Kat. "I hate to interrupt, but..."

 

She separated herself from Kat and took a few steps into the room. "Hello again," she said aloud. "It doesn't look like much has changed since I've left. Except this time, I'm back. Permanantly, if I can help it."

 

She paused. "So what do you say, Zara? Can I have my old job back? If I ask really nicely?"

 

She offered a pleasant nod to Ronin in greeting, knowing that he could just as easily blast her in the face for interrupting, but also knowing that he wouldn't, if only for the sake of the others in the room.

Shaking his head, kat chuckled to himself silently over brinas doubts that zara wouldnt give her the job back. Zara had had some of ronins men searching for her, so somehow he guessed she wouldnt have any problems with brina's return, even if it were just for his sake.

 

Still, things would be interesting with her around again. He had never actually been working with a girl he had been going out with, let alone one he cared for as he did brina. Shaking his head gently once again, he waited for his sisters reply, and simply winked at ronin, leaving the women to their business.

Pocketing his winnings, the oily nobleman smirks.

 

He'd begun to recover some of his own and get back on his own footing. Yet... A thought occured to him. A small one, frightful, yet full of very interesting possiblities.

 

"Tell me my good man," he asks, idly holding a chip. "How large of a bet would be needed to break the bank here?"

The droid replied to the man

 

"All the treasures, possessions and members of one of the richest and most respected families of corellia, most likely. It hasnt been calculated down to actual credits as of yet, sheerly due to the massive amounts of money involved. With your current record, I wouldnt recommend it sir, but as always, its your choice. If you were to loose such a bet, you would be indebted to the link, and have to work your debt off in a manner that will be arranged upon its occurance."

Ganelon's face remains neutral. "Ah. I was just curious. Even a nobleman of my stature can't afford to make a bet like that." He drops his voice in a more cosey, confidential fashion. "The last time I was at a casino of note was on Bespin, back when I was a factor. Some damned pirates attacked me there as I was leaving. I'm curious, what kind of defensive measures do you have to protect this place that could stand up to a pirate attack or worse? I mean pirates or Black Sun or Hutt types picking off customers or even raiding said vault must be a concern for so new and prosperous a business."

Becoming aware of his cane, Zara slipped her arm around him more supportively instead of throwing herself at him.

 

"Your leg. What happened?" a quizical look come across her face as she gazed into his eyes, "it's strange because I felt it. Felt like my own leg was being dipped in molten carbonite or something."

 

Her attention went to Brina and Kat she turned to look at them in turn,

 

"Course you can have your job back Brina, I don't think Kat would forgive me if I didn't let you."

Gently putting his arm around brinas shoulder, he gave it a gentle squeeze in response, and winked at zara, before saying

 

"With that said, I think that none of us apart from you have seen the entire casino, sister dear. I might have been physically in it, but you would know better than anyone that I might as well have been in the last call.

 

How about the grand tour then. If you want a wheelchair ronin, let me know" Chuckling silently at his own little prod at the man, he waited for zara to lead on.

Zara began the tour, although even she hadn't made it all the way around the Casino city yet.

 

"You've seen the hotel lobbies, and of course you've seen the bar Kat", she poked her tongue out at her brother over that one, "there's the specialty shops..."

 

She went on, showing all the features she'd discovered including the box overlooking the tornament arena, then finished up back in her luxury apartment.

 

"Drinks anyone?"

"I see," Ganelon states, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "If at all possible, may I speak with one of the Nargals? I've heard they own this place and I have a proposition to make."

"Wouldn't say it was like molten carbonite, myself. More like... Well, getting it blown off with a flechette gun."

 

Ronin raised his pant leg to reveal a huge black scar encircling his entire leg, complete with a metallic mesh embedded in his skin graft, holding his flesh together.

 

"Just a scratch."

Zara sucked her breath in with sympathy for the pain he must have gone through receiving that wound. She tilted her head to the side, her arm still around the pirate king.

 

"I'd like to hear the story about that one some time love."

 

She was just happy to see him again and be able to spend time with him again.

Brina smiled secretly at the other couple. She was glad they were together again...they made a cute pair.

 

"So, Zara. This is a nice facility, and I am very impressed with Mr. Corelli's work. However, I am curious. Are we still going to do transport services? Or has the casino and hotel business taken more of a priority?"

 

She hoped the piloting service would flourish...she had barely any expertise when it cameto much else, although she would be willing to learn.

Zara turned back to Brina, after giving Ronin another coy smile.

 

"Yes we're continuing with the transport business, it's still one of our main functions. Consider this our new base of operations but we'll still run out of Coruscant as well as here."

 

She glanced back at Ronin, making eye contact.

 

"So tell me more about this tornament. You're associate hasn't gotten back to me yet."

Looking over at his sister, he quirked his head a little, asking her silently if this were something to do with him. When she had replied, he winked at her, indicating he would talk to her about it later, before turning to brina and saying

 

"I really should go check the ships, I had some of the staff bring them up here, and I want to check them over... I dont trust the staff here yet. Care to join me?"

Spider's ship dropped out of hyperspace near the new casino. It was quite a nice structure. He floated in space watching it for a while before getting permission to land.

 

He piloted the ship in with minimal effort and paid a docking fee before he walked out and decided to wonder around a bit.

Nahstaa's ship dropped out of hyperspace in the space surrounding corellia, and made its way to the golden link casino. After aquiring permission to land, nahstaa piloted the ship into a dock, and disembarked.

 

Spreading out with the force, he felt his apprentice within, and made his way to where he was, hiding his force presence the whole time. Sneaking up behind him, and grabbing his shoulder, he said

 

"Come my apprentice, we dont have time for gambling yet. I have a task for you."

 

Handing him a small datapad, he said

 

"Memorize it, and destroy it. Meet me back on mimban when your done."

 

getting back onto his ship, nahstaa headed for mimban and awaited his apprentice. this task would be good training for him.

 

((you know what you have to do, its the task i told you about))

She nodded. "With pleasure."

 

They walked in the direction of the hanger, arriving there shortly. Brina went to work right away, boarding one of the ships and checking it over, making sure it was in prime condition. She noticed one of the power couplings have been pulverized, so shaking her head, she grabbed her tools and set to work replacing it.

The Sixth gleamed as it exited hyperspace. The metallic spacecraft rocketed downwards, towards the new casino. This wasn't hear when I went to sleep, but hey, when you sleep for months, what can you expect? the Mandalorian thought.

 

The ship was cleared to enter the casino's airspace.

 

Taking the ship off of autopilot, Draj took the ship into a deep descend. It slowed down as the ground seemed to rise towards him. The Sixth emitted a large amount of pressurized air to give it the room he needed to land. Finally Draj set the ship down. He hit a button, and the exit ramped lowered. Haerin stepped out.

 

He looked around, and spotting what looked like a staff member, he began to walk towards him. "Excuse me. Where can I find the owners of this casino?" The man pointed, with a look of extreme annoyance. The employee then returned to his previous buisness. Draj followed the man's point, and moved in that direction.

 

He approached the person, and spoke.

 

"Pardon, but do you have any work? Preferably some... bounty... work."

 

 

((OOC: I don't know who's here, and who's not. If you have the authority to answer, shoot.))

"What are you doing?"

"Thinking about God."

"In a corner?"

"Faith is not in a floor plan..."

Having moved into the panther, checking his baby over, and running all the tests, checks and simulation programs, Kat was satisfied with its condition. Moving outside, he was met by a man in mandalorian armour, quite a bit taller than himself. Approaching him calmly, Kat listened to what he said, and replied

 

"Well, if by bounty work you mean hunting someone down and killing them, no, i dont. I do have something you could do for me though. I havent had the chance to run a live intruder alert on the casino as of yet..."

 

As he spoke, he whipped out his two blaster pistols, set the things to stun, and handed them to him. He also handed the man a map of the casino.

 

"I want you to attempt to make your way into the casino, and attempt to rob us. Use any means necessary. The further into the casino's core you get, the more you will get paid. I will give you 20, 000 credits right now, if you will agree to it, and if you get into the safe, you can have double that.

 

If you do manage to get into the safe, and you touch anything at all, i will have most of this galaxy hunting you down. If you kill one of my staff, by using anything apart from these two blasters set to stun, you will be hunted.

 

So... are you in?"

 

((You need to read the opening post of the casino. Most of the staff are NPC's. Feel free to knock them out, steal their clothes, etc etc. Its completely up to you how you want to do it.))

Draj looked down at the map now in his hands. The man also attempted to hand him two blaster pistols, but the Mandalorian had to refuse. He whipped out his own two pistols, which had a stun setting. Draj switched it to the non-kill mode. He also looked at the holomap, noting particular points and entries.

 

"So... are you in?" the man said. Draj could tell by the man's features and attitude that he was the one known as Kat.

 

"Yes," Draj said. "I'll do it." He was about to ask Kat to take off his guardian defense-cannons, but Draj decided to challenge himself. "I'll start immediately," Draj finished, taking the credits from the casino's owner. He pocketed them, and continued towards the outside of the casino. No reason to start at the finishing point.

 

The Mandalorian returned to his ship, studying the map further. The cannons, which Draj had referred to earlier, were numerous: they outlined the roulette-shaped casino.

 

Draj had finally returned to his ship. Let the fun begin, he thought. Draj pocketed the map.

 

The bounty hunter started, removing the pistols from their holsters. He crouched down, trying to evade the cameras that he found on the map. All of a sudden, a blaster bolt shot out from a random point. Luckily, Draj's reflexes acted quickly, and he was able to roll away from the shot. The fifteen-year old took cover behind a pillar, waiting for his unseen-opponent to foolishly reveal himself.

 

Patience proved to be the victor, as Draj's enemy fired again, and he was able to find his target: A staff member, off to his left. Draj put his guns to the test by turning from his cover, and firing. Two of his shots went stray, but a third nailed the employee in the chest. He was flung backwards by the force, and Draj trudged on, eager to earn his pay.

"What are you doing?"

"Thinking about God."

"In a corner?"

"Faith is not in a floor plan..."

Ganelon, failing to recieve a response, meanders into the main lobby, just in time to hear the proposition offered by one of the Nargals to the Mandalorian. Quietly ordering a drink, Ganelon sips a brandy, his orange eyes narrowing to slits as he watches Draj make his test run. Non challantly, he meanders behind the warrior, charting the man's progress, wondering how he could use this for his own grand plan.

Draj checked the stunned man's body and found exactly what he was looking for: A security clearance card. Just as the bounty hunter was about to continue, he heard a scuff, courtesy of a boot, or a... follower.

 

He took a step forward, and heard it again. This time Draj continued, but turned around all of a sudden, his guns aimed at the trailer.

 

"What do you want."

"What are you doing?"

"Thinking about God."

"In a corner?"

"Faith is not in a floor plan..."
