Welcome to Gaia! ::

The journey to Ord Mantell was short, taking under 18 hours. It took a further half hour to get on the ground, the space lanes choked with freighters and profiteers, siphoning credits off the war like mynocs sucking energy from a power cable. The Void Dragon came to rest in Docking Bay 25 in a grimy space port. Tal'dras took another hour, cleaning and reloading the dart that he had used, rebalancing the vibroblades he'd used, then adding Traxan's Blaster Pistol to the trophy rack in his ship.

Then, after hollering at Dexter to cease stripping components for modification, he made his way to dingy bar, where he found his contact, whom he gave the vial of blood as proof, and confirmed his 75,000 Credit payment. That would go a long way for several modifications he'd been planning on adding to various things in his arsenal. Time for a little bit of celebration.

He knew the right Bar too.

The Dead Space Cantina was busy today. He ordered a shot of Whyren's Reserve Whiskey, which he downed, grinning at the burn. Tal'dras glanced about him, looking for a good time. Then he noticed a sabacc game going on. Then he noticed the player.

Cale Darksun...the notorious pirate.

There was no Contract on him...which was good. He ordered a glass of Bespin Port from a very good year, and approached the table. Smiling he showed some credit chips and asked "Mind if I join you?"

Tal bowed and smiled
"Surprised you recognized me...don't worry...there isn't a contract out on you...if so you would have never seen my face, but yes...here...have 500 creds...it'll keep you in the game longer," he smiled and ordered a round of Reactor Cores for the table.
"Do you mind if I pull up a chair?"

"In my buisness, it pays to know who the big names are." Cale said. "Go ahead and pull up a chair. We're all scum and villany here. As to the cash...yeah I'll decline. no hard feelings, but the last time I took cash from a hunter it proved to be bugged." Cale took the reactor core from the tender droid and sipped it.
The rest of his gang watched uneasily as the assasin pulled up a chair. The guy had a rap sheet as long as Boba Fett's. If the Echanni had a paragon, it was this lean warrior. Despite his formidable reputation, they weren't about to abandon their Captain. He owed them money.
"So what brings you into Ord Mantell?" Cale asked as he prepared to deal the cards. he paused as he looked at the fellow. "you in?"

Cale put in the ante as well, though the others declined. He delt the cards, dealing Tal the ten of sabers and the Endurance face card(+/- cool , a total of 18.
"Who's that bounty on? Curiosity demands I ask." Cale said as he examined his cards. "Hmm. I'll raise you two blaster energy packs."

It never hurt to use a little muscle to get what you wanted now did it? Especially if the people you asked thought you were someone else.



Stefan had a small knife out, razor sharp but extremly basic. "So, any new ideas about where the Neimodian is? You better have an answer or you won't have a head." Stefan was currentl playing an extremly annoyed Zabrak trying to get some info, the acting was better then most and who would argue when you had a knife very near your privates?

"I already told you, I don't know anything about him other then he spends some time on Mustafar. I can give you a few bits of info about that though, I used to work there and can sometimes get in and out without much hassale, as long as I call in beforehand. I help shift any excess material and alot of illegal goods." The terrified human blurted out.

"That is incredibly helpful and you may just live to have children now. You stay here until I come back, if you move or try and get help I will get you, your family and your friends." Stefan looked angry enough and made a small cut across the stomach, nothing bad but enough to keep the guy scared.

Tal sighed as he recieved his cards. Then he drew his Sabacc face on and said "Oh...nobody in particular...just think you should look into it..." Watching Cale he saw the pair of blaster packs, and dropped the 10 and waited for Cale to continue, sipping on his Bespin Port. "So are you going to ask?" Tal'dras said as he awaited the next card.

"Yes my master."

He bowed once again and smiled under his mask as he saw the force lightning head towards the other. He would stand raise himself from his bow and walked over to his master. He didn't speak aword to Drako and just watched.

He would walk behind his master toward the turbo lift. He watched as Drake walked up with them. He waited until Drako and Drake walked into the lift and then he would enter it.
