Fett, though he had received numerous wounds, was stoic. "As you wish." He went back the way he came, checking to see if Drake was still in the temple, though he suspected the droid had fled with its master. He found Angel, and addressed her. "Valycia. They've left. Your master would probably like your company on his search in the archives."

Ali'anna sighed, trying to regain control of herself. "Let's hope no more patrols happen upon us, hmm?"

"Listen, from here on in its easy street. we have the salvage ship land and pick up the fighter, then we jump out to meet the transport. It'll be a lum run."
Cale suddenly glanced over his shoulders. not seeing anything he slowly turned back to look at the twilek and the droid.

"What was that?" Ali'anna asked, suspiciously. Her eyes darted to follow the movements of his head. The droid paid no heed to the motion, and instead focused on whatever its programming told it was important at the time.

"I dunno. when you live on the edge so long you kinda get like a sixth sense for trouble. and for a moment there I could have thought-"
A blaster bolt shot out from a pile of rubble behind Cale and pierced his right arm. The outlaw pitched forward with a curse and fell to his side. as he struggled to get up again he looked in the direction of the firer and his eyes widened.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Shut up Space scum." Alinn told him as she emerged from hiding, a heavy pistol armed and ready in her hand. "Anyone makes a move I don't like and I'll kill him."

Ali'anna raised her arms, carefully concealing the dart launcher on her wrist. She kept her urges in check and spoke evenly. "What's going on here...?"

"You don't know?" Alinn said. "This space trash has a nice big bounty on him, put up by the Hutts. Specifically on those gems he carries around. I have a lot of money riding on those rocks. And now you're gonna hand them over Darksun. Or else."
Cale stared down the barrel of her blaster, a look of pain on his face as hie held his wounded arm. "You've been playing me...all along havent you?"
"Ever since Nal Hutta." she told him. "Ive been biding my chance, waiting for you to reveal those shards so I could steal them right out under your nose. But I got impatient. when the Republic evacuated and you still hadn't returned, I went after you. I stole an escape pod and landed here."
Cale managed a sitting position, a slight smile creeping on to his face."Guess you had...no trouble...tracking me down. You're Coruscanti."
"Damn right. Now hand them over Dipsith." she demanded, holding her hand out to Cale, expecting him to place them in her palm.
Then Cale started to chuckle. "Well, guess what? you wasted a trip."

As expected, the B-wings flew like lethargic nerfs through the virtual asteroid field. To be fair, they did slightly better than the outdated and outmoded Y-wings. In the end, only three pilots, herself included, made it through with the B-wings.
Mordranna took the time to adress the Squire pilots. "Well, in fairness, B-wings aren't exactly known for their maneuverability," she chuckled. "Three of you did, however, managed to get through, even in those. For that, you are to be commended. The rest of you: There will also be sims for the A and X wings, as well, so no worries. Sure as the Force, I'll find something for you." After a puase for effect, she then added. "We'll take five, Squires, and then we'll hit it again in the A-wings,"

Imperius arrived at the archive ruins. He hailed for an astromech droid, and an R6 unit arrived and jacked himself in. Most of the data was corrupted, and Imperius ran a search for Tan*. He found one file but it required a data key, luckily he knew it from his days with Vader.: ShadowStarr. The file was horribly broken but it mentioned something about Mysterious powers. Then it terminated.
"Vader's archives....let's go," he said to the droid.

A twinge at the edge of Ali'anna's lips betrayed the amusement she shared. "You want those gems? They fell into a pit, a good dozen meters over that way," she pointed, "a pit created by falling debris that probably ends at the surface of the planet." As she brought her hand back from the pointing motion, she made a discreet twitch of her wrist that prepared a powerful poison dart and loaded it into the minute chamber in her bracelet. "It seems you're out of luck."

Drako was about to hit the switch to activate the bomb when a transmition came in.
"Ah, Lord Drako. I am Chidee Heprek, a...simple businessman. I have a proposition for you."
" Simple....Businessman. You should watch....Hrmmm. "
What....i can use this....
" What is it you want?"

Alinn just stood there for a moment as the reality of the situation sunk in. She was out her reward, and she had failed the hutts.
And at this point, Cale was laughing.
"Wow! does that ever suck for you now doesn't it." He chuckled. "All that work, and it just blows up in your face! wow, I just wish you could see your face right now. Bloody priceless."
The furious woman leveled the blaster at Cale's head and fired. The outlaw saw this coming a mile away and rolled the second he saw her finger twitch. He tried to draw his own to return fire, but pain lanced through his arm. he couldn't draw his gun.
"aww. no quick draw for you outlaw. looks like your time's up." Alinn said as she aimed again.

((hope you don't mind if i take her, i assume you were setting up for this...))
Alinn grinned as she squeezed the trigger. Then, for a moment, she appeared completely at peace. Just as quickly, she fell over, writhing on the ground.
Ali'anna lowered her arms and reloaded a new dart. She stood, kicked Alinn's blaster away, and aimed another dart at her. She turned to smile at Cale, a demonic grin that transformed her face into something that looked almost evil. "Shall I finish her off, Cale?" She asked simply, but it was as if she was begging to do it, liker she desperately needed to do it, to satisfy some hunger.

Cale pushed himself back up. he winced as the pain in his arm bypassed anything he felt in his head and his chest.
"No.... Let her be. we'll leave her.... on this sith hole of a planet....for the feddies." He hissed through the pain.

"Ah, well...it seems we have much to offer each other." he said, camly.
I trust that he uses somewhat decent encyption and security... he thought, as he adjusted his comm settings.
"Yes...this should be more secure."
I don't trust it entirely, but it is as good as I'm going to get.
"As I was saying, we have much to offer each other. You need an army, I need a buyer. And there may be other matters to discuss. Would you be open to a meeting, say, somewhere outsystem?"
I can use this.
((Right, if you say yes, shall we skip to the meeting, somewhere on the edge of the system?))
