Nal Hutta - CantinaZara's jaw clenched when she felt the hand against her cheek, yet she took no actions to push her away. Her face was an emotionless slate, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. Did this woman realize that the abstract concepts she was offering held little value to her? There was more to their power, Zara knew they were hiding something from her. But as frustrating as the Je'daii were, Zara could not turn her back on the mission... She looked over at Dawson again with a half smile. What say you? Can you bear to be without my company for however long it takes you to dispose of an Imperial? she asked, hoping that he would agree just to get the Je'daii off their backs. And hopefully it wouldn't take him too long; she didn't fully trust Dawson either but she knew he had no reason to want her dead, unlike the Je'daii who had many reasons to wish harm upon her. Plus Zara wasn't sure if she was buying the Je'daii's act. If a Je'daii showed up at the temple on Coruscant saying that they wished to defect and become Sith, there was no way that they would even get through the doors without undergoing some form of interrogation and likely torture. Which was, of course, quite understandable and Zara was surprised that she had not gone through something similar yet.

Nal Hutta - CantinaTrust was certainly a commodity that was scarce, particularly between warring factions. Corvin was certainly afraid that his own people were being too trusting with the Sith woman, and though he of all people believed everyone deserved a second chance, he wished he was able to speak to Endar about any of this... they were blindly following his wishes, and he was never able to explain why. "If it's all the same" Corvin said, "I'd prefer to be present for any interrogation of my stowaway or our new friend." He adjusted his grip on the assassin, as she wasn't doing much to help him maintain her weight. "I'm getting tired of being surrounded by secrets."
"Why doesn't Dawson come aboard the Wren with us... he can keep Zara comfortable, and I'm certain this pleasure yacht he brags about has staff or at least an astromech droid that can pilot it to our destination." Here he turned to Elyria, and with an inquisitive smile asked "Which is where, exactly? Back to Voss?"

Epoch Wren"Something happened to her, Dee. I don't know what it was. There is nothing left of the girl I used to know, and any sane person would turn around and stay away from her. But I can't just keep pretending she's dead like the rest of our family thinks. Not after seeing her like this. I... guess I just want to make sure that she's safe. Perhaps you feel the same way about someone?" he asked, giving her a knowing smile. Implausible story followed by a gratuitous pull at the heart strings... this seemed pretty textbook, and yet... "Never really got a good look at her" she admitted, "But you say she's your older sister? That's pretty thin, and yet... let's say I believe you."Here's where De'avril would find out how much water this story held, and if there was any sense in leaving the man untied (or, for that matter, unwounded). She watched carefully for any clues, any sudden moves, as she said "You think she's gone off the deep end - you're afraid of her, but you want to help. She'll be coming back with the Captain sooner or later... so, what happens when she recognizes you? What's your play?"

Epoch WrenCedric sighed softly. "That is what I am trying to avoid. She cast off her former identity, afraid that one day her past will catch up to her and confront her. I have no intentions of revealing to her who I truly am. The day I saw her at the palace she did not recognize me, but she only saw me from a far distance and if you recall I told you that the last time she saw me was before the strains of puberty had caught up with me."His eyes strayed to the table where his armaments had been placed. The woman still didn't believe his story, and Ced needed her help big time right now before the Je'daii came back with his sister in tow. "But if you were looking for some hard evidence... if you could hand me the datapad that should be in my pack over there..."

Nal Hutta. Mizu's eyes fluttered open slowly and she raised a hand to her head. Felt like she'd been run over by a sandcrawler. It took her a few moments to realise she was standing up and substantially less time after that to notice who was supporting her. She attempted to leap back but he had a firm grip on her arm. Channeling heat into her arm to make him let go would've been simple enough but she still felt woozy. Trying to stand up straight she growled at him. "Let. Go. Now!."

Here he turned to Elyria, and with an inquisitive smile asked "Which is where, exactly? Back to Voss?"She turned to Corvin, biting her lower lip, her eyes questioning and placed her hand on his arm projecting her thoughts to him "I'm kinda' winging it here..I'm not sure it's safe to bring them to...well home..we need to check them out a bit more..." "Well we do need to bring Logan back...and if the Imperials have not overrun the planet, we can help get things back in order.....Dawson...would that work for you? have you finished your business here...but we still have to get Zara past the agent on board...If Endar has finished questioning him...we may be able to release him...but how to do it without.... her brow furrowed, she put her finger to her chin and tapping her lips as she began to think it through.... Mizu's eyes fluttered open slowly and she raised a hand to her head. Felt like she'd been run over by a sandcrawler. It took her a few moments to realise she was standing up and substantially less time after that to notice who was supporting her. She attempted to leap back but he had a firm grip on her arm.

"That's it! as the girl awoke, Elyria was again struck by her similarity..blinking....pausing for a fraction of an instant..she reached out her hand to the newcomer... Elyria Stone...I have a proposition for you..... watching the girl closely for any move to attack... since you no longer have a bounty on my friends here turning to indicate Dawson and Zara...then turning back.. and you are obviously for hire....we have an.."unwelcome guest" aboard our ship...we do not wish him harmed...but...if you would be willing to escort him off...and keep him "occupied" until we depart...well we would be interested in acquiring your services...would you be interested?"

Mizu's eyes narrowed when the woman, Stone, indicated the pirate and his first mate, but still she was intrigued. "My services huh? You have a girl who can stop a sniper bullet in a fraction of a second and a guy here..."Shee nodded to the man holding her arm as she continued. "Who can leap entire buildings in a single bound. And you want my help? First off, why? Second, what's in it for me? And third, what's to stop me burning you and all your friends to cinders where you stand??Today had been a bad day to get out of bed. She was going to give that A.I. a stern talking to for interrupting her sleep, later.

Nal Hutta. well..at the moment you are surrounded by 3 other force users and if none of them could stop you..then I guess it would be ME! Now..if you will calm yourself, we can begin negotiating.. Dawson here, as you may have now guessed, is a pirate of note...I'm sure he has much to offer to insure the safety of his first mate. All I can offer is credits..it is a simple job..the person in question is non sentient and should be easy for a woman of your obvious talents to detain...what do you say...what is your price?'Mizu didn't even flinch at the flame. She held mastery over fire, it could never burn her, for all Ms Stone's show of power. he was a little intrigued at this woman's ability though. Sighing to herself she backed down a little. Bravado probably wasn't going to get her out of here right now. "Three other force users? Besides you? The girl obviously, and jumpy here. Who's the last? The pirate? Also you haven't answered why you want it done. I don't just accept credits for any hair brained scheme. You're talking kidnapping an imperial spy here, and I try not to mess with the empire wherever possible."Mizuyuki Miyami (um...I just said "unwelcome guest" I never mentioned an Imperial - aha should I consider you part of a conspiracy?)

Why you could even get on the good side of the Empire by doing him a favor and helping him get free of us...he is actually more of a gift for you ...perhaps you should pay us for his safe return she smiled at the girl it would be to our mutual benefit actually..we would be rid of him...and you will have made a friend in the Empire....what do you say?...we're more than ready to leave this foul place...will you help?

Nal Hutta. "You do so love dodging questions don't you? Who is the last force user here? I'd be happier knowing which of your two friends is which. Although I doubt it's this....Logan was it? I find it hard to believe he's capable of anything much.""It would be to our mutual benefit actually..we would be rid of him...and you will have made a friend in the Empire....what do you say?...we're more than ready to leave this foul place...will you help?""Mutual benefit?"Mizu snorted in derision. "You seem to misunderstand something here. I'm a pirate, a good one at that. And good pirates generally have bounties on their heads. Something i'm sure Mr. Dawson here can attest to."She waved in his direction before continuing on. "If I go anywhere near an imperial ship as a "friend" they'll blow me out of the sky and not bother to ask questions later. I said I didn't want trouble from them, not that I wanted to hold a tea party. Not to mention that i'm pretty sure they'll be at least a teeny bit curious as to how I found their agent in the first place. Now if you want me to kill him, that I can, and would, do, but i'm not going to be a safety deposit box for anyone you have trouble with."

Croix awoke in a bed that he wasn't used to. He was in a room that wasn't his, he wasin a place he wasn't used to. He had been dreaming of a time when he was young and first learning of the ways of the force. He had learned much in his time on the Dxun moon. He learned of how the ghost he met was Freedon Nadd, a Sith lord that was once a powerful being that even had an uprising after his death. He learned of Legendary users of the light that Nadd called Droma, and Arca.
Being in space calmed Croix, It was as if out here he could see the trails and patterns of the force. He found it was quiet. The only company that Croix had was a killer psychotic robot, and a small force using rodent that, for some odd reason, followed Croix.
The spirit of Nadd however had continued on with Croix's training, teaching him much that he would need on his journey. He informed Croix to steer clear of Tython, Korriban, Coruscant, Dantooine, Nar Shadaa, and Ruusan. The reason being was due to the strong ties between other force users. Finding anything related to the Sith would more then likely be a futile task if he did visit these places.
"Drone, do you recall any places of which your master was ever interested in?" He asks the droid that made it's home in the cargo bay.
"I have ten places that my master had in mind to check but his life was terminated early and I do not have any record of him visiting these places with my time serving him. Odacer-Faustin is the first place he wanted to visit. My databanks show and suggest that it has abandoned ports, The climate might be testable to that. I suggest this be our start, dress warmly master, It has a harsh chill."
Croix shook his head but input the coordinates into the navi-computer and went along with what the droid had told him. I guess we have our heading.... He thought as he had a VERY bad feeling about this.

Nal Hutta.Dawson had been listening to the one half of the conversations he had been privy to, but remained silent his eyes shifting around the room, he was getting a feeling deep in his chest that he had not felt in ages. It was not as strong as it had been in the past but there was a burning sensation, he shook his head chalking it up to subpar quality alcohol in his drinks. "My my, things certainly have changed now haven't they? Let me see here, Yes my ship is capable of being operated by my droid crew, though I can not say it will be as well done as if I was personally at the helm. While uncomfortable boarding your ship it seems to be the only way that we will be in some form of agreement.
Captain Logan I completely understand your sentiment and can see as to how your presence during my "interrogation" of the spy would be beneficial. However I need to get a read on this person first, a few minutes alone or atleast making it seem that way could be incredibly beneficial as to learning why they are here. Though personally I would rather just send them to one of the local gangs or better yet frame him for the incident at Zebro's."The Zeltron was not seeing away to avoid tagging along with the je'daii now and would need several things from his ship. Luckily he had several droids capable of gathering and delivering anything he would need for his time aboard the je'daii ship. He pulled out a datapad and quickly punched in several commands, he should have everything he needed when he finally got to the ship. When his assassin came too and the woman in charge of the je'daii made a proposition with her to extract the imperial he could not help but scowl. "Yes many a good pirate is a wanted being, but a great one well they are the ones who can come and go as they please for no one is foolish enough to try and have them killed."
"I understand your apprehension to this job, you do not have to take it. Though I do have my own proposition, Zebro still has his own loyalist who will want some sort of vengance for what happened, but their loyalty will not last long we must strike while the iron is still hot." he struck his open palm with his fist, he turned his head looking at the je'daii before voicing his plan. "We will have to do this fast, as I said these men will scatter to the breeze if we are not swift." he turned his head again facing the woman still held up by the je'daii "You had a meeting with the Hutt, as did I however mine was known only to my own men. You must go back to the palace and tell who ever will listen that you saw the man responsible flee to their ship." he motioned to the je'daii "Do not go with them, find an ambush point and wait. Captain you will need to be at the ship, and act as though the man has just been found aboard the ship. You will give him to the guards, they will want blood but not in the space port. They will, or rather should proceed to lead him away from the ship, meanwhile the rest of us will board the ship." he paused making sure the group was still following. "Once they pass your ambush point, eliminate them, or don't it does not matter to me, but if he is alive you have a better chance to have an "In" with the Empire. Do this and I will pay you the bounty Zebro offered you to kill me, I believe it was one-trillion?" he paused his hands disapearing into his pockets to produce several large credit chips. "I can load these in what ever denomination you wish to avoid a single massive large transaction." his eyes shifted to the je'daii once again "Normally I would require you to pay atleast fifty percent of this but just this once I will bite the bullet, what do you say, will you take the job?"

And we do not? There is no misunderstanding here - there is not one of us at this table who is not running from something..or someone..."Yes many a good pirate is a wanted being, but a great one well they are the ones who can come and go as they please for no one is foolish enough to try and have them killed."

Is there still a scoundrel hiding in there? she winked at him before turning to Ryo "Logan do you agree?... and what will you do when this is over....Voss may not be ...until I receive word from the Embassy on what the Sith have done ...it is not safe to return there...will you be joining us? Ryokuzen Shadowstealer well I didn't know how to fit it all in after Tom's elaborate post LOL...and you refer to yourself as Ryo - you're "true" identity LOL but when I addressed you I called you Logan blaugh ((You really don't want to answer her question huh? xD Also you called me Ryo in your post wink ~ Ryo))

Nal Hutta "Logan do you agree?... and what will you do when this is over....Voss may not be ...until I receive word from the Embassy on what the Sith have done ...it is not safe to return there...will you be joining us"
Ryo was a little lost in thought and took a few seconds to realise he'd been spoken to.
"3 force users?"
He glanced at the Zeltron out of the corner of his eye."
"Does she mean him or...What dos she know...?"
The pirate girl jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow bringing him back to his senses.
"Oi Dreamer you'ree being talked to."
A little startled he almost fell over, before catching himself.
"Uh s..sorry was a little out of it."
Rubbing his stomach where he'd hit him he looked up at Elyria.
"Why should I be going with you? No offence, but more than one person has pointed it out by now. You know nothing about me. Who I am, what I want. Yet you trust me more than the imperial, even though we appeared on your ship under the same conditions. Don't get me wrong, i've killed a ship load of imperials, that's not an issue. But you seem to think that your friends here will blindly treat me as one of you just because you do."
((Would appreciate it if no-one read my thoughts this post wink I don't always mind but putting my foot down here ))
