Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suddenly, the two Padawans broke off and charged towards him, cutting down those in their way. 'Damnation' he thought, 'My weakness has doomed Kalnar!'

He turned, fighting the tide with renewed vigor as the pair of Padawans joined him, granting them more time.

"Hurry..." he whispered under his breath, knowing now that not all of them will walk away from this.

Sabers of yellow and amethyst swung about, matching strike for strike against the flurry of crimson sabers wielded by the Sith.

"We are coming, Sir Arch!" Iria said, as her saber found it's mark, cleaning piercing a Sith's heart, wincing even as she did so.

"Just hold out a bit longer, Colonel!" Gunther called to Archaras, his sun-like blade sailing in an arc towards a pair of Sith, whom fell as the saber sailed back to his hand.

The group psuhed back through the city, taking cut and turns here to try and lose themselves in the masses of confused coruscanti."Baby's preped, hurry up before we don't have a chance." Amras commed Luger and Haldir as they made there way back."Lets go, we gotta get out ah hir!"The confusion did them good, but they still needed to hurry, some of the holocams in thr palace may have ID'ed them and would trace it all back to the Sparrow, and that would not bold well.

"Ok, like let's totally mega-boogey on out of here!" Freya said to the others, taking Angel by the hand. "And, don't forget to totally pick up Gunther and the others, either," she told Luger.

"Like, you're pretty good." Freya said with admiration. Calling back into the com from Arch, she replied, "We're, like, totally mega-boogeying outta here, dude! Be ready to totally jump on when we fly by,"

And, with that, Freya then wrapped Angel in a gentle warm embrace. "Like, our chariot totally awaits us, milady," she said with a smile, before giving her a rather passionate kiss. Blushing afterwards, she then admitted, "I've so wanted to do that since Bespin,"

Afterwards, her expression hardened as she looked to the others. "Like, what the kark are you bums looking at? Let's totally get out of here," she said, leading the way to the Heavy Metal.

Haldir heard a thump as the twi'lek hit the ground and spun in place, he identified and quickly delievered a bolt to the chest of the predator before he could end the girls life. Shealthing the blaster he quickly ran over to her the girl swinging an arm around her and kneeling down."You ok?"He asked as he examined the wound.

The bothan ship dealer stood beside a colonel in the Bothan Military. It was clear the bothans wanted it understood that they were the ones in control. Still Jenel Olo was more then happy with the words coming out of the dealer's mouth.

"The Ubrikkian Frigate you brought in is worth more then fifteen million credits, since this ship is a prize I believe a reward of twelve million is more then sufficient. That is for the ship itself."

Four million each, Jenel thought. "Good, what about the slaves?"

"They will be set free, and since most of them are skilled mechanics and technicians they'll be able to find employment here quite easily. We're offering them five hundred credits as a starting bonus."

Jenel smiled, for a slave that would appear to be a pretty sweet deal, and it would drive down the labor cost for Bothan shipbuilding in the process, you could pay them less then the market value of their labor. Still there was one last issue, "What about the other cargo? The tons of ship components we nabbed?"

"We'd be more then willing to take them off your hands... We're willing to pay ten percent less then market value."

Revak stirred, "Jenel..." As the smuggler turned he smiled tightly, "How much of that cargo can the Pride of Ord Mantell carry?"

"About a third, why?"

A bright smirk slid across his face, "I may have use for it."

"Alright Revak. We'll sell two-thirds of the ship components to you. That would amount to about six million credits worth." Jenel answered, "I suppose you know to send my share to my Ord Mantell account."

The bothan colonel that hadn't spoke smiled, "Of course. There is one more thing captain."

"Oh?" Jenel asked.

"We'll also take the information you got from the ship. What was the cargo's destination?"

"Mandalore," Jenel replied stiffly.

"I see." The Bothan nodded to himself and keyed a note on his datapad.

Jenel nodded, "I have one question for you Colonel, I trust this raid your goverment organized wasn't a one time thing?"

The Bothan grinned, "Oh no captain, I can assure you that its more then one raid. In fact, if you wish to continue hunting down Huttesee Shipping we're more then willing to offer you and your comrades complete protection from reprisals and legal actions. We'll even by the prizes you bring in, along with their cargos."

"What of Imperial interference?" Jenel asked knowing that the Imperials were not fond of piracy or even privateers.

The Bothan's grin grew wider showing his brilliant white teeth, "So long as the Hutts are providing materials to enemy's of the Empire you can be sure they won't interefere with your activities."

Revak gritted his teeth, "A collision of disperate interests."

"You might say that," the Bothan answered stiffly.
