Welcome to Gaia! ::

Senator Phoenix Feron, pulled the space yacht downwards, landing in a cave near a Jawa Sand Crawler. After a bit of chatter, and the loss of one of the yachts' ion cannons, Phoenix pulled into Mos Espa on a landspeeder. He zoomed through the small town, and pulled the speeder up to a bar. He walked in, and to his surprise, found Cale, without Angel.

That son of a squib...

He walked over, and picked the mercenary up.

"Explain!"

Angel felt a dark presence coming closer as she got rooms at the embassy. After a shower and some relaxing, she headed out to see what the place was like. She came around what looked like a cantina and was a little suprised when someone said " Well, you look like you could be a good one... You dance? If you want, and do good, I'll pay you. " Angel looked around and saw it would be harmless, and wanted to have a little fun anyways, so she agreed. " Here, go in there and put this on. " the figure said, and handed her a dancer's outfit. Doing what he said, she comes out in what she originally thought would cover more, but continued to go along with it and soon found herself as entertainment for a moderately big crowd for a few minutes. She thinks to herself, " It seems so wrong for me to be doing this, but I do need a few extra credits... "

As he touched down he heard the comm again and headed to where he was told Cale was. As he smashed in CAle was being held in the air by another man. Unsheathing his knife he came next to them. "What so now I have to stand in line to kill him?" He said as he stared at the human.

Meanwhile in a diffrent cantina
"Hey look over there thats the person who Sidon told us to come after." One of te hired thugs said as they stared at the dancer. "We'll whack just after she's finished dancing. Don't you think thats a good idea?" He said and thought to himself 'Whacking in more then one way.'

While the landspeeders continued to Mos Espa, Neb contemplated on what he would have to soon be doing... plus why he was in shackles.

He had plenty of time to think for the amount of time the guards set up a com relay direct to Coruscant, the destination of Neb's call.

"I need to speak directly with anyone off the Jedi Council. Its urgency is of the dire importance." He began. However, the recepiant was less than complying.

"Why? What is of such importance that you need the council?"

"Very simply, I need them. Here on Tatooine, there is an agressive force user who attacked me. I need some people whose job it is to track him and do whatever they do. Plus, as I am transmitting this, I am being held prisoner by Republic Guards, and require an explanation why."

"Bah! On both accounts. Do you have any proof of a Sith?" The man snorted. Neb shuddered at the word Sith, such usage so quickly implied disgusted Neb. He always felt that nobody was lost to that extreme, in this day and age. The dark side, no matter how tempting, did not mean a jedi was trapped, only misguided.

"Well... no. I managed to fight him, but due to unexpected circumstances, we were separated, and it isn't my duty to chase after him."

"Good thing too. You are one of the worst Jedi ever. Not only did you let a Sith get away, you got arrested, and you let a senator get killed, one of whom you were protecting!" From this statement, Neb finally recognised who he was communicating with.

"You're that little sniveling man who accused me of letting the senator die, aren't you? You know as well as I do that there is no way in the universe that you could charge me with such a crime. Now get me someone of importance, before I have to fly back to Coruscant to talk to someone myself."

"But that would mean you'll have to steal a ship, knock out the guards, and bust prison! You wouldn't do that!"

"Hey, I'm not in prison yet, only being detained. And finding a ship is easy around here. I've rented one for the last couple of days, which the guards righteously know, and buying one would be no problem."

While the little man stood stunned, he quickly retorted using quite a foul amount of language. Neb laughed, shook his head, and continued to smile a good natured smile. While this little obstacle was annoying, he had no intention of actually breaking out. Just when the little man was through, a small tap on his shoulder relieved him (not without complaint) of his duty. A stronger voice came through, replying:

"We will send someone to pick up the trail. Your new task is to escort the Senator Pheonix Feron. He left his guards here, and took off for Tatooine, much to the senate's disapproval. However, you are to protect him, from the "agressive force user" which you claim. Since a threat does exist, you are to be his personal body guard. Hopefully your luck won't fail this time en route to your mission. Take care, Master Jedi."

Neb pondered this for half a second, and nearly lost the connection.

"First, can I get out of the predicament I am in here... legally?"




15 minutes later, Neb was released.... and guided to the Senator's chambers by the same guards who had arrested him.

(Good idea Darkened Angel)
'the idiots had not replied yet.' Tious thought as he stood outside the cantina and waited for the call. He suddenly got what he didin't want, a message on his beeper. It read 'She got away and is concealing a heavy weapon of some kind. Get ready.' As soon as he had finished reading it he saw her run toward the embassy. Withdrawing his two pistols he started the chase. Despite his age he was fast and agile and as soon as he got close he let lose two shots aimed right at the back of her feet, then another two, one to each side.

Cale adjusted his shades and sighed."Crap. I could have won that next hand easy. that table was a damn berrypatch. but Nooooo... can't leave Impette to herself. you'd think that an imp cadet could handle themselves." he smirked a bit."then again, they did lose the battle of Endor. like three sector fleets and a planet killer against a handful of mothball rebel ships. not exactly good propaganda material." he cased another sandy street and frowned."damn. no Angel. how many damn places could she have run off too?! I knew I should have slipped her a tracking tag, but did I listen to myself? hell no." as he turned to go down another street he bumped in to an odd little Astromech. "whoops, sorry little guy." he said to the unit. he got an Idea and stopped the droid."hey fella, have you seen a human girl run past here? yea high, light build, walks like a soldier? she's got blue eyes and brown hair, always looks pissed. seen her?"
the droid blatted an answer.
"no, about my height."
the droid beeped and wistled.
"no, she wears black."
the astromech tooted a response.
"you sure you haven't seen her?"
the droid tipped its barrel shaped body back and forth slightly, a close impersonation at a nod.
"well sith. thanks anyway, clear skies." the outlaw and droid parted ways. Cale looked over at the astromech and scratched his head."Funny...could have sworn seeing that same droid on Coruscant..." he shrugged and went on his way.

Angel was too tired to do anything but rest at the moment and just collapsed on the bed. After passing out for a short while, she was woken up by the sounds of someone coming in the room. Thinking it was her persuer from before, she turned over on the bed as quick as she could, and pulled her blaster halfway to aiming for the intruder, until she saw it was the Dark Lord instead. She put her blaster back down and sat up. She looked at him and said, " Sorry I didn't get to making a new lightsaber yet. I've never been to Tatooine before and got sidetracked by things, and then I decided to get a few extra credits, and you know how that turned out. "

"Brother I saw here go into the embassy here and I don't think we should persue here too much. I followed here in and she talked to some very offical looking guy. I would suggest either taking them all out with a well placed expoosive or joining me and our other brother on one last mission."
With this Tious replaced his comm link and walked back to a tavern his guns still unknowingly in bhis hands.
