Fett switched off his comm. Alright, so this was now a little personal. He waited a moment, applying bacta to his wounds after quickly removing his armor, then eased into the piloting chair of his ship. He took a deep breath to get his bearings, physically and mentally, then executed a cred-chip turn and flew at PRIM3, zipping past. He noticed that some remained on the landing pad he had departed from, so he shot at the pad with several dozen laser bolts. The man who was on it, if he survived, would at least be kept from somehow chasing Fett's tail for the moment, and a moment was all he really needed. He did another turn and flew at the rear of PRIM3, unleashing a torrent of lasers and ion bolts. He readied his left finger over a special use button and prepared to engage it when the moment was right.

"Of Course. Just one second."
Cale took in a breath and then pointed somewhere behind the CorSec officers. "HOLY SITHSPIT!!! ITS CORRAN HORN!!!" he shouted.
Almost everyone in the crowd looked, CorSec officers included.
"Suckers. Now lets go." Cale grabbed the woman's hand and proceeded to drag her out of sight and somewhat hopping that Cajin would get lost. He didn't have anything personal against him. He Just didn't want some other guy screwing up his chances with Mordranna.
About Half an hour of twisting and turning through streets and alleys that seemed to have been designed by a drunk, they came upon the magnificent open air bazaar that was Treasure Ship Row.
"Here it is. The Market Place of the galaxy. Merchants from across the galaxy ply their wares here. almost anything you can imagine is up for sale."

Cajin took a brief glance behind him, wondering Who's Corran Horn?
Seeing nothing, he turned back and saw Cale leading Mordranna off through the crowd. He followed after Cale, wondering What was that about?
After following them through the winding streets, he came upon the vast Treasure Ship Row.
"I'm impressed." he commented, looking around the bazzar. He spotted a nearby weapons shop straight off, and started to walk towards it, before stopping and saying, "I think about work too much. Besides, those blasters are kinda light."
Well, sometimes it's a hobby. But, I can go buy weapons some other time. Right now, I'm with friends.
Well, one vague aquaintance with a somewhat similar past, and one more or less complete stranger. But, it's close enough. Besides, it's not like I've had many friends; not in a long time.
"A flower for the lady?" he asked Mordranna with a chuckle, as he gestured to a nearby booth selling flowers of all kinds.

Awaiting the Dark Lord's arrival, Angel stayed in orbit around Borleias. She ran a quick flight sim to pass the time. < You against 3 waves of 4 B-Wings huh? Hey, you're only setting them on Easy. > " Yes, but I'm only wanting to try manually using the anti-warhead turbolaser. This way I can get the feel for it in case something causes you to malfunction or something and I have to use it manually. " The sim started, and Angel managed to get every warhead well before reaching the 'danger zone'. < You seem quite skilled as it is. That's all the warheads. But you know that's not how it would be in a real battle. > " Yeah yeah, I know, but like I said, just wanted to get a feel for the turbolaser. " < Indeed, and you seem quite good at it. Now, if you don't mind me asking, would it hurt you to redecorate the back here? I feel like a nerf herder trapped in a bum smuggler's reject pile of scrapped parts here. > " HEY! This is a 1st class Imperial Gunboat refitted with superior lasers and shields at the price of warheads, plus the added turbolaser to take out warheads coming at it. All that back there is the system stuff that you know you're supposed to make sure keeps working at top efficiency. " < I know, I'm just trying to be funny. I don't fully understand this 'humor' thing too well I guess. >

The trio arrived at the open marketplace, and Mordranna nodded with approval at Cale's assessment of the place. "It's really nice, Cale." As Cajin arrived, she placed her free hand over her mouth as she chuckled at the former stormtrooper offering flowers. I seem to be popular with these gentlemen,

Cale twitched.
Scratch gravel moron. Cale thought as the bounty hunter offered flowers to Mordranna. I'm trying to work here. you don't see me shorting out your leg do you?
Out the corner of his eye the outlaw noticed someone taking some interest in him. Human, Male, wearing a jacket that probably concealed a blaster or two. another CorSec op. at least he wasn't Trying to get him, yet. But this close to the rowdy Blue Sector, there was little CorSec could do.
Cale narrowed his eyes and glimpsed a booth selling some blaster pistols.
"hmm..."

Noting the Twi'lek's silence, Imperius pulled the ship towards Borleias, where he realized that the craft would have to stay in orbit to test the special project he was developing on the planet.
"Valycia, bring up the Rose and pick us up," he ordered, and then turned to the Twi'lek.
"I don't believe we've formally introduced ourselves. I am Darth Imperius. Identify yourself."

" On my way. " Angel said. She brought the Sundered Rose close and docked with the shuttle, allowing for ship-to-ship transfer. " By the way, what's so important here? Oh, and all the forces are ready for our little suprise gift to the Republic, whenever you want to let them have it. "

"Thank you, Cajin," Mordranna said to the former stormtrooper. "I like that bluish white one," she chirped, pointing out a simple, yet beautiful flower. She then looked about the bazaar. "I wonder where the musical instruements are,"

"As you wish." he said, smiling as he bought the flower. Holding it in both hands, he presented it and offered it to her.
This is kind of fun...I haven't bought a flower for someone since, well, since I was a teenager, and had a crush on...
*sigh* Whatever. That's long in the past, and she's dead or somewhere in the galaxy. And, well, I'm just buying a flower for a lady.
At Mordranna's question, he shook his head. "Maybe Cale would know."

Ali'anna was silent because she had resolved to glare at Imperious. She waited deliberately before answering him. "I was known as the "Serpent" on Ryloth, and throughout the galaxy."

Mordranna smiled back gently at Cajin. You know, smiling suits him. she thought as she accepted the flower and put it in her hair. "Thank you, Cajin."
She then looked over to Cale and asked him a question. "Just out of curiosity, do you like guitars?"

Cale realized she was addressing him. he turned and thought back to what she had said. "Guitar? oh yeah. Jazz, Blues, old songs like that I love them." He thought for a bit. "yeah, you don't see too many around nowadays. Folks are all into the lute-flutre, the kloo horn and all those j**z and modern instruments. no respect for the classics."
