Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cale placed himself between the smiling man and Angel and Narrowed his eyes."Scratch gravel Merc. we don't need your help. and i'd go get that fixed if I were you. You could have Trisnium Grinning Death Syndrome. and trust me, its not a pleasant way to go. your lips peel over your head and take your skin with it."

"Theres a place owned by an Acronian eight blocks down that could rent us an airspeeder. We can be there in no time."

Phoenix walked past the Senator's house, spitting at the ground. Nordadla's wife had cooked some vile concoction as a "compensation for 20,000,000 credits towards Tatooine.

Adding Tatooine to the NR was the dumbest move ever..stupid Borsk Fey'lya

With nothing more to do, and Angel gone for days, he decided to stop at the first of the three most famous Tatooine spots: Mos Esiley Cantina.

Cale led Angel to the used vehicle lot. he poked around until he found a skyhopper airspeeder, a dependable and fast craft. "Hey mac! how much for a rental?" he asked the proprietor. he began to look the vehicle over incase it was a lemon, kicking the airfoils and checking the exaust for sand corrosion.
"150 a day, sentinent." the Arcona said as he hobbled over."this is a very good Skyhopper, a race winning canyon stormer. her pilot lost it in a game of cards and if you would like it I'm willing to sell it for a paltry sum of-"
"Im not buying this piece of vape bait! hell I don't even want to rent it!" Cale snapped at him."look at this thing! this thing's been plundered by jawas! Look!" the corellian led the alien around back to the exposed thruster bank. "The thruster regulation nozzle for the brake output has been ripped out!" he said angrily."Is this how you do buisness?!"
The Acrona looked a bit nervous."oh, Im terribly sorry sir, perhaps you could rent another vehicle."
"I don't want another one! I want this one! this one's got a gun! Fix it!" Cale said.
"Sir, maybe you would prefer to rent a land speeder rather than an aircraft. we've honestly rented out our last good one to another sentinent, and I'd hate to be sued for damages."
Cale stared at the Alien."Was it a dark skinned trandoshan with an astromech?" he asked.
"sir Im not at liberty to-"
Cale grabbed the alien and jammed his blaster in its face."Listen, let me tell you something, Reptile. My trigger finger has been acting up on me, especially when I'm holding people at gunpoint. Y'know the funny thing is, that the longer I point it at something, the more likely it might spasm and pull the trigger, boiling the brain in that triangular head of yours. so, I recomend you tell me right now. who rented the last flyer?"
"it-it-It was a human!" he said.
"good good. Im feeling better already...now, did he do something to the other flyers?"
"he poked around them, but that's all I saw!"
Cale frowned."what did he look like?"
"It was Sidon Treye! the Mercenary!"
"who?"Cale aked.
"...Sidon Treye? Leader of the Typhoon Attack Squad?" the arcona looked dumbfounded.
"Never heard of them."
"They fought in the battle of Garnital."
"Never heard of them."
"worked for both sides during the war?"
"nope."
"3 out of fifty left?"
"nope."
"you honestly never heard of them?"
"Can't say I have. Been doing more important things than following the exploits of a band of suicidal nutjobs." Cale let the Arcona go and holstered his weapon."
the Arcona rubbed his throat and shook his head."Better hope he never hears that. around here, his name alone clears a room faster than Boba Fett in the flesh."
"yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Now how about this: you replace that part, let me rent the piece for 500 a week, and I won't mention that you let people come in and sith with your vehicles to my numerous smuggler contacts." Cale said. "Thats the best deal you're gonna get from me."
after some consideration the alien agreed, eager to get the gun toting outlaw out of his dealership. Cale tapped the daydreaming Angel on the shoulder."don't stare too much, the sight will burn your retinas out. Now stay sharp. some ex merc is out after us. they'll have our vehicle to go in a few minutes and he might be trailing us. oh, and I need 250 credits."

Angel stopped looking around and became more focused after Cale warned her of the ex merc. She took out her concealed repeating blaster and assembled it, ready to use it at any moment. Turning to Cale, she said " I trust you're handy enough with a blaster to deal with anyone that may cause problems. If I have to use this thing it could get messy. "

Angel got onboard, and looked around just to make sure of things. " I hope this thing doesn't fall apart on us part-way... " she said. " It wouldn't be too suprising if someone tried to sabotage it. "
