Loose Ends (open to anyone) Nar-Shadaa

[Imperator]

Kira shut her eyes as the harsh light completely blinded her. Although she was wearing her mask it was not designed to protect very well and did little to stop the blinding grenade. She was then forced to stay behind cover until her eyes began to come back to normal, but before that could happen there was another blinding flash followed by a large amount of heat. The flames sucked much of the air from the room and left her lungs burning from the heat.

 

[Rev]

As the flash grenade went off it sent its sensors into a frenzy. As opposed to blinding an Organic temporarily it's sensors created multiple pictures of the same image. As the images began to fade his shield was struck with what was left of the Ion grenade, someone had managed to blast it out of the air. Though the HK unit could've sustained for more damage than a Ion Grenade it's modifications were far greater than the HK-50 and 51 predocessors. It was a advancement on the HK model that managed to make a name for the HK's once again though it was beginning to fade due to other Assassination droids. As the HK unit picked up Micke's voice it began to fire at the already dead Hutt. Any incomming fire was quickly returned which had luckily been minimal shots since the command was given by his Master.

Like an athlete of some distant sport in a galaxy far far away, Kal tumbled and flipped backwards away from the plasma blast incinerating Dima. Indeed, it had all gone to shambles, though Kal himself still held one last card up his sleeve - or rather, a signed will that declared oh so conveniently that Dima's holding would go to his right hand man and most trusted advisor - Kal Edasi. And Dima the Hutt had earned his reputation long ago for buying out a corporation known as Zaala Ltd., then downsizing the business until it was but a shadow of what it had once been.

But Kal? Oh, he understood more of this business than any could truly understand. Few others were aware of the...secret finances, the tiny branches scattered across the galaxy, the subtle sounds of illegal operations beyond Republic space. But the Republic, so busy with the war, and the fact that it was merely 'several minor companies' making 'minimal profit', chose to close their eyes and plug their ears, unaware that they had stumbled upon the very boundaries of the great commercial web that was spun to catch the very galaxy itself.

Within all of such heavy thoughts, Kal smiled. Not once had he drawn his weapon, and he was still easily controlling his segment of the battle. Such a thing would remain unnoticed, unrespected for the truth behind it. Kal did not draw his blade, for he needed not to. In a single move he had scattered all but a few of the intruders - one even shooting down his grenade, which was unexpected, but unimportant regardless. The fact that the droid had even haad to have protection showed it for the weak shell it truly was, barely a shadow of its predecessors - even the mass-produced ones.

Suzie thought that it was time to leave. She'd come to see just why Dima had posted a bounty on her with a stipulation that she must be alive and that anyone who killed her would end up dead. She thought for just a moment that maybe Dima was on orders from someone else, but the thought was soon out of ehr mind when a blaster bolt flew by her. She ducked down and mae a headlong run for the greatly cracked window that overlooked the track below. It would be a twenty foot drop to the track, and hopefully nobody would be racing due to the attack. Charging at the window she hammered into it with her shoulder. The window smashed into a thousand pieces and she fell. With two cryoban grenades in each hand she threw them at the track and a ten foot blob of cryogenic goo erupted. She landed on the goo and only felt a small brunt of the fall. She was unable to move for just a few seconds and she covered her back with ehr rifle aimed up at the window and waited for the goo to melt enough for her to run.

OOC: *waits for someone to chase her*

Xentar soon regained his senses and sight, now fully recovered by the Flash Grenade's explosion. He scanned around to spot the armored sentient making an escape, who was also apparently caught in the fight that insured. He ignored her and went to locate the Droid he was about to dismember from before. He started to scan the area once more, trying to find it again, though he cant help but wonder if the armored sentient had anything to do with this... Seeing how the Shooting began shortly after he arrived after him/her...

 

[Cailst]

Micke saw the female run out the window and also looked around the room to see if any others would be threatening him after the hutt was down. Looking around the room, he saw some trandoshan and an echani. He was not sure whether they would be a friend or foe but he did want to maintain peace with them for the moment.

Also, he was not exactly sure how the hutt died but he figured the female might have known. He also thought she was attractive.

"Come back up here, we need to divide the spoils. I also won't hurt you like I did to the hutts but we can be allies like my other friends." Micke yelled out to the window hoping she would hear and come back.

 

[Imperator]

Kira stood up from behind her cover rubbing at her eyes and breathing a little bit raspy. She tried to look around, but was still having difficulty and ended up tripping over something and stumbled into someone or something, and let out a little yelp from her burns.

 

[SophiaM]

ooc: funny how you could fine someone in full body armour and a reflective visor helmet attractive, but hey who am I to argue :p

Suzie heard the man shout down to her, by the time he had finished the cryogenic goo had liquified leaving a very sticky mess on the track. Suzie reactivated the voice filter on her helmet, gave a rather crude hand gesture and ran for the pit lane of the track. Theres no way I'm going back up there. Divide the spoils, who is he kidding. Dima kept his credits in so many accounts they'll be lucky to find any spoils. She thought to herself as she dodged a rather irate racer and his swoop. She kept going and hoped that the gammorians had been taken care of by the gang that had blasted their way in to the private room she had just blasted her way out of.

 

[Green Ranger]

Kal had everything he required. Every time one of Dima's secret accounts were uncovered, the will the Echani had obtained would be evidnce enough to certify those funds came to him. Considering the size of Dima's empire before his death, Kal would be coming into a massive sum of credits, not to mention everything else promised to him.

He'd had enough. What minor entertainment he'd recieved from the little skirmish was now long gone. Having recieved all he needed for his next move, Kal turned around and casually headed for the door. Despite all the chaos going on around him, he was still in complete control of his own situation - no point in getting agitated about something he no longer cared about. All those that remained could blast each other to individual atoms for all he cared - Kal had the will, and therefore the money, the power and the holdings.

He had won.

 

[Cailst]

Micke saw the man leave and since the only person not in the room was some weird armored person, he figured the spoils would likely be his unless that armored guy contested it. So Micke began looking around the room for valuables. He didn't know of the secret accounts to begin with so he didn't care, he simply was taking what he could see.

"So what do you want?" He said to Kira as he rummaged through the room. He looked at one of the maps of the place seeing the rooms for various things like the hangar, the harem, the army that didn't die, the armory of weapons and ammo that hadn't been used.

 

[SophiaM]

Now that Suzie was far enough away she took the helmet off. Her violet hair swishes in the slight breeze and she took a deep breath of the highly poluted air and coughed.

Maybe I should have left that on.

She said to herself between coughs. She held the helmet under her arm as she made her way back to her ship. She wasn't sure what would happen to Dima's little empire, but she was sure that no matter what, the bounty on her would now be removed. With the collector dead, there was no reason for anyone to try and take her.

 

[Phil]

Xentar was now alone in the midst of the Chaos that broke out in the area. The Hutt was dead, as was a chance to find a Hunt. There was nothing here, his blades still thirsty for blood, and none of the ones here could fulfill there thirst. SUre, he could go and murder every last one of the sentients in this place, but the slaughter would be pointless, and there would be a chance that Xentar would be the prey instead of the Hunter.

Instead, looking at the railing that was on the balcony, which had a great view of the tracks, Xentar made a dash for them. It was then that an unfortanete person got in Xentar's way, causing the Trandoshan to crash into him. The man stumbled back a bit, then stupidly tried to take a swing at Xentar, only to have his hand severed. The severed fist flew past Xentar and landed on the floor, leaving the man with a bleeding stump to cry out in pain as Xentar finished him off by driving his blade through his face.

The Blades had a small taste here, but now Xentar needed to depart, to look for the next big Hutt on Nar Shadda. He leaped over the railing and grabbed the ledge as he dropped down into the small staduim where he soon dissapeared into the crowds of mass people of various spieces.

 

[Green Ranger]

'Going somewhere?' The voice murmured in that same monotonous voice that seemed so alive despite the personally applied limits to the tnal variations in his voice. Kal Edasi stood behind the girl at some distance, apparently untouched by the grime of the Moon, the fatigue caused by covering such distances at speed, or by anything else. Indeed, aside from the change in lighting, it would have appeared as if Kal was a statue or droid, perhaps - so limited were his movements, so reserved was his stance, his speech, his actions. For all the chaos that had happened at Dima's box, Kal had done the least, yet had walked away with more than anyone else could hope to find in Dima's modest quarters at the swoop track. Dima owned much, but he didn't own the swoop facility, nor the property of the swoop racers, their armed guards, their arms, locked away to prevent injury or death on the property grounds. The swoop races were Dima's getaway retreat, and while there was much to plunder, the true bounty awaited Kal a long, long way away. A great spire, with a brilliant blue Z illuminating the surrounds, like some sort of light-house for water-ships on some strange and primative world eons away...

His mind once again snapped to the present, regarding his new adversary with...well, a blank expression. His mind was racing, however. She was fatigued - the adrenaline rush would be abating and her joints would be aching. The armor would be cumbersome and slow her movements, and her weaponry was not exactly suited to deal with one like Kal.

She was heavily disadvantaged in this situation, and they both knew it.

'Dima was many things. Filthy, corrupt, and terrible with hygeine. But he was decent company. Also, he was marked to die by my hand months ago.'

 

[Imperator]

Kira rubbed her eyes and looked over the shoulder of the guy talking to her. "I do not really need anything right now." Kira said to him, she then stopped for a second and though. "What kind of ships does he have?" she inquired mischievously.

 

[Cailst]

"I'm sure he has some sort of luxury ship. In fact, I'll go look at the hangar, he said going to the elevator carrying a map of the complex with him. Considering that it came from the room where the Hutt was normally located, it contained all the hidden passage ways and some places where cash was stored secretly should he have needed very liquid assets. The wookiees followed him to the elevator.

"I'm going to go find it, you can come along as well." He said while waiting at the door of the elevator.

 

[Imperator]

Kira followed behind Micke trying to fix her hair refsing to acknowledge it as a hgoepless caus despite how singed it was. She entere the elevator with Micke figuring that there had to be something interesting in the hangar.

 

[Cailst]

Micke stood in the elevator waiting to get down. He noticed the woman was fixing her hair though for what reason he did not know. Unless she were bald or had some extreme change in hair, she would look just as good. However, that was just his opinion.

Reaching the bottom floor, Micke moved out to get to the ship. It was a few hallways down and there were things like slaves and guns to get before taking the ship out of there as well as getting some cash.

 

[Imperator]

Kira only followed Micke half minded. She was working on her hair still and was trying to think of were she should go next now that this general area was starting to get boring.

 

[SophiaM]

Suzie only looked half surprised that someone had followed her, and that was only because it was the echani that had done so. She shrugged as he lamented that Dima had been a half decent hutt, and to tell the truth he had been.

If you must know. I wasn't planning on killing him, yet. I came here to find out why he'd placed a live bounty on me, then those psychos come charging in blasting anything in sight so I improvised. If you wanted him dead, there you go. I should be charging you a services fee by all rights.

Suzie was very casual int he way she spoke. She didn't believe that the echani meant her harm, plus she'd dropped a few low yield plasma mines not far from where he was standing just in case anyone did follow that she didn't like.
