Mos Eisley - Tatooine

[Ganelon of Seneferia]

Arriving back from the desert and his trip to the Hutts palace, Ganelon catches word almost immediately about a massive fleet by Black Sun rolling into place. Grabbing all his gear and equipment out of the speeder, he runs for his ship and fires it into high gear.

 

He meant for an innocent sale to turn a profit for himself and the Link. Walking into a war zone was not what the Seneferian had bargained for. The presence of interdictors being sent back by other ships trying to leave however made a distinct problem for the Seneferian. Sighing, he takes his ship and instead of trying to escape, he takes his ship far into the desert and into the most uninhabited and desolate region he can find.

 

Pulling his ship underneath a tall dune, he cranks up the air conditioning in his ship, takes out a pocket flask, and has a stiff, stiff drink. Unless they intended to turn the entire planet to baked glass, he should be safe and able to wait out the invasion without getting vaporized.

 

If they did... things would get interesting, but he had a plan. At least he hoped he did.

[Durose Roshan]

As Ganelon left the planet an encrypted message trickled across his comm lines...

[Leialla Clia Madornja]

Dordjooba's Desert Skiif pulled into Mos Eisley quickly and probably caused a ruckus, but Dordjooba did not care. The speed at which they moved would not belay to people the destination to which they crawled. Dordjooba hinged on the point of desperation to quickly find a somewhat deserted residence to call home base for the time, but was hard pressed to locate something that fit the bill...

 

He knew he would get no help from the locals or anything, but it wouldn't help to get some military support. Heh... no military in their right mind would help a crime lord against another crime lord...

 

His thoughts were racing as the Slug sweat immensely moving faster than he had ever moved before as the teem dismounted from the desert skiff to leave it behind as bait...

 

His large blue eyes scouting the area as his force of nine followed with him. Dordjooba had no clue what Clash was doing, but he could only hope that Clash made it to where they were going.

 

His mind had just about given up the search when the idol Nikto gunner pointed to a deserted building perched on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. It was decrepit, but it had a roof and could be called home for a time such that they could hole up there.

 

Swiftness defied his mind as the slug careened himself into the building faster than he really should've. people would probably see the Hutt, but once again... He didn't care. Procuring this building was the best thing that had happened all day.

 

Inside the building Dordjooba perched himself aside the door alongside two of his vodran guards. Then, the rest of the vodran guards and the Nikto placed themselves at indicated strategic spots through out the structure in order to get sharp aim at the door frame. One vodran however, was selected to barricade all of the idol doors and windows so no one could creep through, so that only one entrance and exit remained.

 

However, the strategic places within the structure as in behind counters, behind large furniture could be utilized at multiple targets, provided the Black Sun soldiers decided to break through another entrance...

 

An encrypted comm is sent to Smash Daisaku as Dordjooba holds a comm to his mouth and speaks softly into the mic...

 

"dhdhd... sls.... difkf.... dd"

 

The small encrypted signal came and went swiftly only leaving a small message upon Smash's comm in its wake...

[Zed]

The Brisk zoomed towards Mos Eisley at full speed as Zed tried the best to steer the ship. "dam dam dammit too fast to make a conventional landing" Zed cut the power to the engines mostly and angled the Brisk to land in a rather bold and reckless manner. The Brisk hit the sand then went back into the air and proceeded to skip across the sand until loosing momentum and sliding to a stop outside Mos Eisley close enough to take three to five minute walk to get inside Mos Eisley. "What ya make up for in working systems you make up in durability ol'girl." Zed stood up then went over to help Uno up. "I'm gonna do some quick work on the engines. Zed grabbed a box of tools an headed back to the engines to do some work while Uno sent a message over his built in comm to Dordjooba. Zed encrypted. The message was short and was only one word. -Arrived- Uno then went to the console to see what systems were damaged. Uno put the information on a datapad then went to give it to Zed since his fingers were suited for combat being a battle droid and all. Zed looked over datapad when Uno brought it to him "you get out lucky not having fingers that can use small tool" Zed grumbled while he finished last patch on engine then grumbled and headed to patch a few more minor damages.

[Vothe Kyrik]

Arriving in Mos Eisley moments after the Hutt, Vothe Kyrik and his operatives had no problem tracking Dordjooba by the surprise and stir he had risen in his passage. No one failed to notice a Hutt in Mos Eisley, especially given their reputation here on Tatooine. And Dordjooba hadn't exactly been subtle.

 

Now the agent approached the deserted building, a ghost in the crowd. Before he came within direct sight of the guards, he indicated for his operatives to take the direct approach right to the front door and confront Dordjooba's guards there. He also gave them specific orders for how the combat was to begin. It appeared that the rest of the entrances and windows were barred, so Vothe would have to do this in a nonstandard fashion.

 

They did so as discreetly as possible, spreading out into combat positions as they worked their way through the crowd as a unit. As they did so, Vothe simply disappeared. He melded into the crowd seemlessly, and even someone who had been watching him closely at the time would have immediately lost sight of him. To him, stealth was an art, and this was one of its simpler aspects.

 

Gliding through the crowd with a minimal amount of resistance, he approached the side of the building and one of the barred-up windows. There was small disturbance in the crowd when they realized by looking at the Black Sun operatives that a fight was coming, but by then Vothe's move to the window was complete, and the Hutt guards had made the mistake of sealing off their only chance to look out except through the main door, as well as sealing off any other possible escape routes, especially for a Hutt.

 

They had dug their own grave.

 

Vothe pulled his commlink. "Go," he said. The Black Sun operatives finished working their way out of the crowd and opened fire on the doorway to Dordjooba's temporary safehouse. There was immediately return fire but, according to Vothe's orders, the incoming fire was more to keep everyone's heads down and of a safe nature where it was unlikely that the Hutt guards or operatives themselves would be in any real danger.

 

Of course, Vothe didn't expect the Hutt troops to realize that. Palming a grenade in each hand, he placed one on his chosen windowsill, then ducked around the corner. It blew in the window past any marginal barring that was on hand, then he dashed towards it, tossing in his other grenade and following the explosion with bodily leaping in through it.

 

It was dark inside, and Vothe loved the dark. Like a shadow he flitted around the immediate vicinity, his knives flashing and the Hutt guards falling. He stayed low to the ground and kept corners and other features of the room between him and potential attackers, then paused at a safe place to further plan his attack.....

[Leialla Clia Madornja]

Since the guards were all behind cover of sorts Dordjoooba monitored the area where the explosion had occurred and moved himself accordingly. Each blast did nothing as the crew hid themselves behind masks except spray sand about, destroy possibly a few wooden objects and blast but not break the objects being used for cover, but it appeared that one man had sneaked in during the second explosion because Dordjooba could hear steps and none of his crew was moving an inch.

 

The HUtt laughed inside as the hunter flitted about and managed to kill about two of his guards. Black is resourceful he thought, but as the hunter neared the Hutt and paused - as the hunter foolishly paused upon a corner around which Dordjooba was hiding, the Hutt's tail lashed out and quickly attempted to wrap the Hunter within it. It seemed he was trying to find safety among the shadows, but the Hutt had noticed him within the darkness...

 

He could feel the knives under his rough skin as they tingled and cut, but it was of no bother to him....

 

Whether the man had been rolled within his tail fully or not Dordjooba grunted, sending all of his guards into the room. The guards aimed at the man who now was either running for his life, or struggling for freedom...

 

"Hi" Dordjooba chortled within the Darkness...

[Clash]

Clash knew that Black Sun would send someone after them so he was on his guard. He kept close to Dordjooba making sure no one would attack him and everything was going smoothly until Clash saw a small projectile landed on a window seal blowing it away. Clash moved in front of the Hutt blocking any debris from hitting him. Clash shot a few thermal detonators at the wall creating a gaping hole big enough even for the Hutt.

 

Clash looked as Dordjooba tried to grab a man who was hiding in the shadows. When clash saw an opening he aimed his right arm at the man and let out blaster bolts from his variable-output blaster cannon.

[Leialla Clia Madornja]

Dordjooba saw as the blaster shots narrowly missed the squirming man, but Dordjooba turned his head to Clash with a frown. "I respect your gun hand Clash, but this is not the time to be firing our only use for bargaining - how about you handle the people outside and me and a few of the boys can handle this creeper" Dordjooba turned away for a moment... "However, why don't you stay within range to kill him if he tries anything stupid"

 

Dordjooba looked again at the struggling man as more and more of the Hutt's mass poured upon him, "try as you might little one... I don't plan on lessening my charge against you in the slightest... Even if you do manage to squirm away or break free... I will be there again. Don't make this hard for yourself...

I haven't had anything to eat in a while and I may be tempted if you don't cooperate..."

[Vothe Kyrik]

OOC: I didn't think I implied that I'd come into the room far enough to be near Dordjooba, but I'll play along.

 

IC:

Vothe was decidedly surprised when the Hutt grabbed him with its huge prehensile tail--either the creature could move faster than he expected, or he had gravely miscalculated during his sudden dash through the room. Neither seemed likely, but the improbability of the situation did not help its reality.

 

He was, of course, prepared for such outcomes, for he was no human, but an Anzat. As such, he was the custodian of certain mental powers that could get him out of a jam like this. He called upon them now to buy a the few seconds he would need to reverse the situation. He sent out a mental command through his power to the Hutt troops in the building. According to scholars and Jedi Knights, it had much the safe effect as a Jedi mind trick, which was more effective at close range but effective enough to cover the whole room.

 

Immediately Vothe's enemies were siezed with the realization that those around them were their enemies as well and they were in grave danger. Already wary, they spun and fired upon their comrades, Clash included, but not Dordjooba--Vothe had another purpose for him.

 

The mental illusion would only last a few seconds before they realized what was going on, so the assassin moved. Any martial artist knew that, to break an opponent's hold, a quick motion followed by another, opposite motion made it almost impossible for the detainer to maintain his grip. With all the muscles in his body working toward this end--a jerk one way then a reversal with the full power of his legs--even the Hutt's muscular tail couldn't hold him.

 

Suddenly a blaster pistol appeared in Vothe's hand, apparently dropped from a hidden holster on his wrist into his waiting palm, and with a single bound he was standing on Dordjooba's back, out of reach of the practically vestigial, useless arms and powerful tail both. His blaster was pressed hard against the Hutt's head--even the thick skin couldn't take a blaster shot at point blank range.

 

"Now," he called into his active commlink, and as the Hutt troops began to realize that they had been tricked, they noticed that their numbers had been cut in a half and the assassin now had their leader at gunpoint. Black Sun operatives streamed into the room, covering every position with their blaster rifles but not opening fire. "Move and the Hutt dies," he warned them. "Don't move, and no one else gets hurt."

[Clash]

((OOC:Thanks Vothe, I was about to have some fun : ( .))

 

Clash nodded to Dordjooba and he left but when he was about to take care of his business he heard blasters from inside. Clash rushed in to see bodies on the floor and an assassin on the large Hutt. Clash raised his arm but didn't shoot.

 

"Hey buddy, both us know that if you kill Dordjooba you will get into the trouble with your boss if that is you manage to get out of this room alive."Clash said to the pathetic man, he had to rely on cheap mind tricks and stealth to do his job.

[Zed]

Uno noticed from the cockpit of the Brisk that there was a explosion at a building that was improbable to a coincidence. Zed walked into notice Uno looking at something. "Let me guess we got to investigate something?" Uno pointed at the building where the explosion came from. Zed sighed he still had a few repairs to do and then do some work on other parts of ship. "Well I still got work to d.." -I will investigate while you finish work- Zed sighed he didn't want Uno to get himself damaged but if he didn't work on a few more things the ship had chance to not travel through hyperspace the right way. An Zed didn't want to have it happen to him like rumors he heard. Uno left the house and headed towards the house with laser cannons warming up ready to fire any minute. Zed close the door after Uno left then went to work on hyperdrive.

 

Uno walked across sand fast towards the building where the explosion came from. Uno scanned the building zooming in to see the outside then switching to thermal to try and get images of who was inside. Uno concluded the fact there was large organic creature inside must be the Hutt. Uno wanted to have Zed with him due to Zed was a good master and looked out for Uno. Uno though knew he had to make sure the Hutt would be safe in order to keep his master Zed safe. Uno quickened his pace towards the building.

[Sasori]

Returning from sending an encrypted message to the person who outsourced Sasori to eliminate a certain someone in the galaxy, the Lead Assassin of the Hutt Syndicate had been beckoned home before he could pick up any new weaponry. He was left with what Dordjooba had sent him with, and the few things he had stored in his ship. Replenishing his Thermal Detonators, Throwing Knives, Combat Knives and a new Blaster Pistol and Rifle. However, it may not even then be enough for the whole of the Black Sun, which is why Sasori had kept a little surprise in his Skipray. Two Nagai Tehk'la blades, a powerful weapon first found around the Mandalorian Wars. Taking each of them he placed them on his hip hilts and had returned to the controls of his ship. Blasting an Imperial signal from his ship, he ran his ship down to the Mos Eisley Spaceport, landing as quickly as possible and running out of his ship.

 

Skulking around the area, he made his way as instructed by Dordjooba to an abandoned building. He ventured across the sandy roads until he saw the building in his sights, however, he felt something was wrong. There were no normal activity moving around or outside of the building, either Dordjooba was already dead, or the situation had reached a peak level of escalation. Going to a building on the opposite side, Sasori made his way inside to a place with a good view into the building itself. Through one of the small windows that show a view to the outside world, Sasori was able to use his Blaster rifle to scope in on the situation.

 

Black Sun. And they were all over the area. Blasters pointing all around, the situation was dire, and Sasori had only one real option. Searching the room through the small outside window, the assassin saw an Anzat man, most identified by his tendrils coming off his face like a fleshy fu manchu mustache, behind Dordjooba, a blaster in hand ready to blow away Sasori's paycheck. The assassin aimed right between the Anzat's eyes and squeezed the trigger.

 

((KILLSHOT REQUESTED))

[Vothe Kyrik]

Vothe thought for a moment that his gambit had paid off when several of the Hutt's guards held their fire, not wanting to risk their boss' welfare. However, a slight smile crossed his face when one of them called his bluff--a shooter in the window who decided to take a pot shot.

 

It was a smart move in one aspect, and he had to hand it to the shooter--he indeed did not wish to kill Dordjooba and would take him alive if at all possible. However, it was a foolish move in other respects--the shooter was shooting from the bright Tatooine streets into a dark room at an attacker that was almost entirely obscured by the bulk of a Hutt. He was easy to spot, silhouetted against the light from the window, and Vothe was able to track his blaster and anticipate the quick shot before it came.

 

Since he was so largely obscured from the attacker, the amount he needed to move to evade the shot and the possible target area the attacker had were minimal. It wasn't difficult for someone with Vothe's reflexes and speed to make the adjustment he required so that the bolt passed by.

 

The shooter had made another mistake in taking his potshot--Black Sun operatives were now stationed throughout the building, covering Hutt guards. When it was the Hutts that suddenly started the firefight again, the operatives didn't even flinch--they fired upon all the guards they could see, mostly into unprotected flanks and unwary targets.

 

<< Killshot requested on Clash >>

 

The shooter's final mistake was that he left himself silhouetted against the light and Vothe had an easy shot--he raised his pistol and took it as quickly as he could aim before he leapt off the Hutt's back, landing low and dashing out the hole in the wall Clash had created and into the streets and the crowd not far away, using the Hutt's bulk for cover as long as he could. Once in the crowd, he would be untraceable.

 

<< Killshot requested on Sasori >>

[Clash]

Clash was surprised when people started shoot at him. He grabbed his cryogen whip in one hand and he punched his hand though a table and used it as a shield and got in front of Dordjooba. Clash used his whip to trip the operatives who were shooting. When most of the operatives were on the ground he thew his makeshift shield at one of them and then gibbed the rest out with his left arm's thermal detonator launcher. Clash made sure that he was keeping his eye on Dordjooba and that he was keeping his eye on his surroundings.

[Zed]

Uno's thermal scanner noticed one of blips that wasn't hutt move into a crowd. Uno calculated chance to kill target was low but decided to just fire into crowd. After all the crowd was composed of mostly organics that weren't his master Zed. Uno opened his chest revealing his two chest mounted laster cannons then fired randomly into the crowd. Zed also aimed all ten fingers at the crowd and fired from them also. Uno's attack though stirred up dust which got into his Photoreceptor causing it to temporarily go off line for a few minutes.

 

Zed was in cockpit when he looked out window noticed Uno firing at something. He rushed to a hatch and jumped out of ship an headed towards Uno to help him an see what damage he may have done. Though even running Zed would take a few minutes to reach Uno.

[Jidai Geki]

A complicated situation here. Both Vothe and Sasori, I would caution against trying too much in one post- Sasori posted landing in Mos Eisley, getting into position and taking the shot, all in a single post. Vothe, you posted evading the killshot, which is fine, but also then posted trying to kill another PC with NPC's- generally not advisable.

 

Sasori, due to the fact that your attempt was not only made in a single post, but that post also included a host of other actions which would realistically take far longer than the one post, I cannot award a killshot.

 

Vothe, you made several presumptions in your post that mean that your attempt at a counter has its own issues, however. You posted Sasori being in a well-lit building, when he clearly posted being in an abandoned (and therefore most likely dark) building. Trying for a killshot on a PC with NPC's is also, as previously stated, a highly risky manoeuvre and needs some hefty justification, which your post was lacking.

 

Sasori vs. Vothe: KILLSHOT FOILED. Both parties' shots miss, but neither is at a disadvantage.

 

Vothe vs. Clash: KILLSHOT COUNTERED. All NPC's attacking Clash can be assumed to have been killed by his counter-attack.

[Leialla Clia Madornja]

Freedom, the Hutt sighed heavily as the pressure of the blaster at his head was relieved. At this point his hunter's timing and aim was inapplicable, the only thing that mattered was that Dordjooba was now free again to maneuver which meant horrible things for the remaining Black Sun troops. It seemed Clash was serving his position well by protecting him, but Dordjooba had other plans for the moment.

 

His body moved intermittently through the blaster fire from both sides, taking care to avoid Clash's bolts for he knew they were more intensive. It did seem however as the Hutt got closer that the Black Sun's fire began to halt...

Hmmmm... I may be able to use this to my advantage...

 

His large tail appendage slammed one of the men hard into the sandblasted stone wall of the abandoned house with a satisfying crackle as his spine broke in half... "Oops... Did I do that?" Dordjooba said jokingly as he meandered through the troops still firing as their shots had no effect to him,

 

The Hutt chortled as he approached a man so close that he could look into the agents very eyes. His massive blue orbs cresting across the man's body, peering into his expression as the agent shakingly struggled with his orders as not to kill the Hutt Lord.

 

Dordjooba leaned down further until his face was practically on the mans face. The Hutt licked the agent inquisitively and found the taste was rather interesting. So, without further hesitation the Hutt launched his gaping mouth upon his poor victim swallowing him gun and all...

 

The soldier's contours echoed within Dordjooba's throat all the way to his digestive system. He could hear the muffled screams of the soldier as his digestive tract ripped the man and his armament to shreds and deposited them into the Hutt's waiting stomach for further digestion. The morsel had almost been satisfying enough to put the Hutt to sleep, but he had other things to mind right now as blaster shots kept the area live with sound.

 

The other soldiers having lost their commander, lost two of their men to brutal Hutt tactics and lost a few men due to slaughter at the hands of Clash would no doubt have run for their lives, but these were Black Sun..

 

So the remaining soldiers kept their vigilance and Dordjooba just kept smacking as many as he could against the house's walls with his heavy tail.

[Vothe Kyrik]

Vothe had disappeared into the crowd like wraith into a bog before anyone could muster up the position to watch him. It seemed that one person, an agent the Hutt had outside the abandoned building, had attempted to do so but had quickly lost him and now was firing randomly into the crowd, causing sudden panic.

 

Convenient, he thought, using the panic not only to make a call to his surviving operatives to withdraw from the abandoned building, but to make his way swiftly through a roundabout course well clear of the source of the incoming fire (he couldn't quite identify it) and begin to double back towards the Hutt's pilfered building. You win this round, but you're not out of this yet, Dordjooba.

 

He began to draw near, finding less panicked crowd and staying hidden. He was careful to keep a row of buildings between himself and the Hutt building lest he draw further fire from the sniper he believed he had missed. A minute later and the surviving operatives met him.

 

"Keep an eye on the building and make sure no one leaves," Vothe told them. "I'll call in backup."

 

So saying, he pulled out his commlink and sent a comm to Lord Daisaku with an update on the situation.

[Smash Daisaku]

A large white Star Destroyer, branded with the symbols of the Jedi Order made its presence known over the rustic, desert port known as Mos Eisley. Tiny moisture farms on the fringe of the sandy municipality were obliterated left and right as the ship fired upon them at periodic intervals. From atop the atmosphere, the large Star Destroyer ceased its movement and remained still, directly above the building marked by Vothe. A large blast erupted from the spacecraft directly into the center of the city, with cored a large Jawa filled Sandcrawler, exploding it loudly, for all to hear.

 

 

The ship prepared more of its weapons, as computers began locking on to the building occupied with the cowardly Hutt lord.

 

 

*Transmission to Dordjooba from Smash Daisaku*

 

”œCowardly Hutt. Surrender now, or I will destroy you immediately. Know that and bask, for it is not too late for my mercy.”

[Zed]

Zed reaches Uno "stop shooting into a crowd dammit!" Uno stops closing up chest and lowers arm -organic was in crowd that left the building with hutt- "The hutts in ther-" Zed fell over from shock wave of explosion

 

"bloody hell well lets get inside" Zed and Uno walk into the build with Zed noticing the dead bodies "guess we missed most of it..." Uno notices one of bodies on floor and steps on the head of the organic with a satisfying crunch noise. Zed took out his blaster pistol and made his way towards the Hutt.

 

"Theres big ship up there blasting the city!" while Zed was talking Uno was using one finger to shoot the bodies on the ground in the head to make sure they were dead. "Uno there obviously dead already!" Uno nudged one body on ground with his metal foot -can never be too careful- Zed turned back towards the hutt "theres no way off planet safely even my ship would get beat up good trying to escape!" Zed pulled at his own hair it was too much then he noticed one of soldiers on ground start to stand up and pulled the durasteel bladed sword from sheath on his back "Stay dead, I can't take anymore stress!" Zed unloaded everything swinging his sword again an again on the poor injured soldier. Zed stopped after a few minutes catching his breath slowly obviously exhausted from all thats going on. Zed looked over in direction of Hutt and Cyborg to see what the Hutt would say.

[Leialla Clia Madornja]

Thinking quickly, Dordjooba reached for his comm link at his side and sent an anonymous message to the the Holonet for all recipients who cared. He knew if he used his own name no one would help. The insane ravings of this Black Sun lug was something he couldn't bare and Dordjooba was evil, but he had no intention of letting Smash destroy this city...

 

Dordjooba's cousins would probably care less, but in all honesty Dordjooba had a slight soft side for those who had not committed crimes and surely there were people within this city that fit the bill even though it was trademark of villainy for most of the galaxy. Plus, many a credit could be made here if it wasn't destroyed.. So assets and weaknesses aside Dordjooba did whatever he could to react next...

 

In a quiet tone he then sent out another comm on his employee channel for everyone to find a way to Coruscant, "I will be giving myself up to this Bantha Poodoo and then finding a way to get out of his custody once I am in Coruscant... We will all meet at the Last Call and decide where to go from there.... I know the plan is a little evasive, but right now we have no choice. I think if you all scatter and break with me as fast as you can while I give myself up you should be able to get away quickly... Keep your guard up though because they are no doubt watching this house. Do not surrender to anything or anyone and find a way out of here" Dordjooba then used and average and somber voice to send a non encrypted comm back to Smash...

 

"Alright, I am clearly outgunned here what with the savage man holding all the guns, so I guess I will be the human here and give myself up" Dordjooba chortled a little in his mind for if he was a human then he sure was a real ugly one... "we will negotiate further later, but I want one thing perfectly clear... Don't touch my high ranking employees. They are the ones working for me that aren't vodran if you can't tell. And lay your mits off my palace..."

[Vothe Kyrik]

Vothe picked up on both transmissions and nodded to his men when Dordjooba surrendered. The group of them carefully walked back towards the abandoned building and made a formation out front but didn't raise their blasters, though they kept them close--they would honor the Hutt's surrender. As they walked, they scanned the windows and rooftops carefully, looking for some rogue Hutt agent that wanted to take a potshot at them.

 

He looked at one of his men and said something quietly to him, then that man took a voice amplification device from his belt and put it up to his mouth. "Leave the building unarmed and with your hands up."

 

Kyrik had brought a shuttle down to the planet from the Star Destroyer, so he could transport prisoners if necessary, but he suspected that Lord Daisaku would have direct orders for him on what was to happen next.

 

By now a crowd had started once again to gather, as the shooting had stopped and something of some interest was taking place. A couple of them had seen the Hutt enter the building and had spread the word, increasing the crowd's curiosity--it wasn't often that someone stood up to a Hutt and forced a surrender, and it was a big deal here on Tatooine.

[Leialla Clia Madornja]

Dordjooba used his private employee channel once more:

 

::"once he has me and leaves, you guys go to Coruscant and I will do my best to meet you there" ::

 

The large Hutt ceremoniously slithered out alone, his vodrans all killed within the line of duty and none but to defend himself aside from his own bulk. Dordjooba leaned his head through the front door of the abandoned building as the full form of the 12 foot Hutt slithered onto the scene with no weapons on him or concealed. All he had was a small pouch that he place his comm device and a few other trinkets in to carry. The pouch hung about his shoulder.

 

The charcoal and dark brown behemoth slithering like a worm as he held his head in shame, eyes penetrating his skin with daggers of disrespect and degradation. The Hutt's large blue eyes scanning the crowd and scowling at any laughing people. He wondered why he wanted to save these people, but it wasn't for him to say...

 

Once he reached the assembled guard he agreed to follow them to their shuttle as long as none of them touched him or anything on him. He even told them out of their own safety not to touch anything in his pouch. One of the guards neared the pouch and Dordjooba grabbed for the guards arm as if to say, you grab at me or this pouch and will just as soon lose your arm.

Edited March 4, 2009 by Guest

[Clash]

Clash nodded to what Dordjooba said, he knew that he had a plan. Clash made quick work of the door and ran to where the palace used to be making sure no one would be able to find, trace or track him. The only way that Blacksun would figure out that he was there would be if Vothe decided to inform them about a cyborg working for Dordjooba which seemed unlikely to happen. Clash quickly found his ship and got in it, he got it ready to take off at any second for good measure and waited.

[Zed]

Uno motioned for Zed to follow and they left out the back of the building quietly. Zed sheathed his sword put on his goggles and took off his jacket fitting it on Uno to hide symbol on him. Zed and Uno then causally walked away. Zed was glad he never got new cloths cause his ragged old cloths made him blend it better with people here. After getting a good distance from the reforming crowd Zed and Uno picked up there pace to there ship. Once they got to there ship Zed decided to shut Uno down and hook him up for recharging. Zed got his jacket off Uno and put it back on then headed back out with a tool box looking the part of just some random civilian with ship trouble. Zed decided he would wait a while before leaving the planet and his ship actually still had a few things he needed to fix. Zed climbed on top of the Brisk then pried off a damaged panel and got to work on bad circuits under panel. Zed was just glad he managed to blend in enough to get out. Though Zed frowned a little while he worked on thought Uno would probably need to be kept off line a while till things cooled down.

[Vothe Kyrik]

Vothe nodded at Dordjooba when he came out and his men surrounded the Hutt just to make sure he didn't try anything foolish. It was suspicious enough that he was attempted to protect his pouch when it could easily have a weapon inside or a tool he could use to escape, but they would wait to search him unti they had a little more force...and maybe a tranquilizer powerful enough to put a gundark to sleep.

 

Presently they marched Dordjooba over to the shuttle Kyrik had taken here from the Star Destroyer above. It was a short ride up during which there was always at least one operative ready to put a blaster bolt in Dordjooba's eye, the Hutt's least protected feature. There would be no resistance.

 

No sooner had the shuttle landed aboard the capital ship than Vothe left it and headed immediately for the nearest TIE Defender, having received a transmission from Lord Daisaku with his other orders. He had noticed his new target during the battle, and now it seemed Daisaku wanted him to bring the being in if possible. As he moved, he made sure that there was a large greeting party for the Hutt, but would let Smash work with the details.

 

Now he got behind the TIE's controls and quickly familiarized himself with them. It was nice to have a TIE with a life support system and such performance, he reflected as he blasted out of the hangar bay and back down towards the planet's surface. If Clash headed to Mos Eisley without a ship, he must have disappeared back to the base in order to retrieve it, he thought, pointing the quick starfighter's pointed wings toward the Hutt palace.

[Clash]

Clash saw a small black speck appear in the distance and he knew what it was; a tie-fighter. Clash got out of his ship and stood with his hands raised. His original plan was to sneak onto whatever ship Dordjooba was going to be taken to and break him out but now he had the opportunity to get a free ride there. The only thing that could go wrong would be if they didn't want to take Clash into custody and would rather eliminate him which he was prepared for.

 

"Come and get me you coward."He yelled as loud as he could even though he knew that the pilot couldn't hear him.

[Vothe Kyrik]

On Vothe's first pass over where he suspected Clash might be hiding, he spotted the cyborg standing atop his ship, apparently giving himself up. Strange, the operative thought as he slowed his ship, nearing the Hutt agent. Of course, he immediately suspected a trap, but there seemed little chance of the man being able to effectively do something from his current position. His ship's outward weapons didn't scan as active, and destroying the ship when Vothe got close would kill himself as well.

 

In some fanatical organizations, Kyrik realized that that could still be a possibility. Among the Hutt's hired guns, however, the chance was nill.

 

Vothe signalled for another shuttle from the Star Destroyer to home in on his location as he set his ship down next to Clash's. The shuttle immediately launched and flew directly down towards their location as Vothe popped the canopy on his TIE Defender and approached his quarry, his small but effective blaster visible in his hand--this was no time for subtlety.

 

"By order of Lord Daisaku, surrender yourself and submit to being taken into Black Sun custody," he called as he approached, blaster now raised. From this distance and given Clash's position in the wide open, the assassin couldn't miss if his target decided not to come quietly.

[Clash]

Clash saw as Vothe got out of his ship and spat out words at him.

 

This guy again?

 

"Fine, this isn't the first time Blacksun has had me with my tail between my legs. Maybe it will be nice to see Smash again."Clash said the last part with a chuckle. He walked over to Vothe with his hand on his head in a very harmless manner to show he was giving himself up. He held his wrists to Vothe expecting some type of restraint. Then he waited for what was to come.

[Vothe Kyrik]

And that was that. Vothe quickly searched and disarmed Clash even as the shuttle was disgorging a few more operatives to take the cyborg in. He slapped on the expected restraints, one of the things he carried in his cloak, unseen by observers. The operatives approached and took the quarry into formal custody and transported him to the shuttle, then took off for the Star Destroyer above.

 

Kyrik paused a moment and placed an extremely difficult to detect homing device on the hull of Clash's ship, just in case, then quickly boarded his borrowed TIE Defender and took off to fly tight escort on the Black Sun shuttle. He doubted that Clash had given up because he knew he couldn't evade such an apt tracker as Kyrik, so he probably had a plan for getting himself out of this and his Hutt master with him.

 

It was obviously Vothe's job and that of the rest of Black Sun to make sure no such plot succeeded. Keeping tabs on his ship was one precaution he could take. Remotely configuring the device to inform him if the ship left its current location, Vothe turned his attention back to docking with the Black Sun flagship.

 

As he landed, he sent a comm to Lord Daisaku. "My lord, the Hutt Dordjooba and his agent Clash are aboard, as you requested."

 

Yes, he had seen the mission out, start to finish. He couldn't say it had gone perfectly, but it was totally, outstandingly successful and the Black Sun had lost minimal resources. Eager to rise to the top of the crime syndicate (for no reason other than opportunity), Vothe hoped in the back of his mind that Smash would take note of his integral role in the operation. He had also proved his versatility--his previous mission had been equally successful and had focused upon his skills in infiltration. This one had relied on leadership and combat performance.
