Ships and Brigands (Open)

[Trakon]

Basilisk quietly landed down on Kuat, in a simple hangar built for refit and repair. He breathed in deeply then walked outside and greeted the dock manager.

"Hello good sir, please repair and clean my vessel. Do not under any circumstances enter the vessel and touch anything. Just make sure it's engines are good and everything in working order." Basilisk paid the money required and then walked away outside into the busy streets or Kuat's capitol.

He entered a simple cantina and sat. He drank a glass of water and watched the crowd. There were mostly dock workers and some beings with no purpose but pleasure. Basilisk assumed it was a cool down place, for the workers on weekends to blow their paychecks. Then he started to listen in on conversations, not nice but interesting.


"Hey, Driz, hear about that ship that just landed?"
"Wait, someone could hear us."
"No, they are way to drunk to care. Dockmaster is going to sell it off to some chop shop and anything that can be used for information, he's going to sell to the black market."
"Well we all need money these days. War isn't easy on us people."
"We should do something about it. It's the tenth ship this month, and there will be more."
"You go ahead, I don't wanna lose my job by speaking up." The two gentlemen kept drinking, apparently any thoughts of rebelling were gone.

Basilisk decided it was time to leave, and get his ship off here.

Desperately enough Raiden appeared near the men. He had heard what was said and found himself walking towards his own ship just has the human had done. (I'm assuming your character is human.) The young Zabrak slowly climbed into his ship what is known as "The KasMelan." There he sat anxiously in the cockpit waiting for some sort of entertainment to occur. He loved to watch among others and loved exploration. He figured that's what he ought to do considering he had some extra time on his hands.

His gazed fixed on the human that was nearby. He allowed himself to fall in a sort of daze while he was walking the human. He figured he could have some fun and venture among this man... He sat there waiting to see what was to come upon the human...

 

[Trakon]

((OOC: He's Miralaku and a Shade Knight. If your character is a Jedi then he would have sensed this.))

Basilisk walked back to the hangar at a brisk pace and when he entered it a single gaurd was there.

"Sir, you can't come in, they are, um..." The human had a blaster pistol and Basilisk doubted the man knew what end to point. The alcohol could be smelled from a few feet away. Basilisk picked the man up with the Force and began choking him.

"Tell me where they are taking it."

"Only....if ....you stop choking me." Basilisk relented and the man regained his composure. If one could while being held up. Check the back room, that's where they usually do the deals."

"Thank you." Basilisk quickly broke the man's neck and threw him against the wall, beyond sight. Basilisk started to walk towards the back of the hangar where a small group of rooms were. He also pulled out his lightsaber, in case someone decided to try and stop him.

There were two gaurds standing outside the rooms and one was smoking.

"Man these gaurd duties are really boring ."

"Yeah the pays alright."

"But I wish it was more exciting. Like someone get past Drak and find us here and we kill'em."

"Your wish has been granted." Basilisk spoke in a voice that just were filled with anger. ((hence the color change)) The man was picked up and taken to Basilisk, just in time for him to cleave the man in half with his lightsaber. The second gaurd was shocked and started to pull his blaster out but Basilisk was too quick and sent a anger filled Force Push strong enough that it broke his bones and killed him.

"Three gaurds. Can't wait for more." Basilisk then entered the rooms intent on killing anyone related to this illegal operation.

 

[FaMiLy]

[Then replace the human words with your species, apologizes.]

From this point Raiden noticed every action from the now sensed Shade Jedi... He relied on himself and himself only at this point. He knew he was only just a padawan to the Force but knew that man had to be stopped. Slowly Raiden activated the landing pit and released the landing gears. He exited the ship making sure he would move in a silent but quick motion.

Raiden picked up his pace whenever he set foot on the ground, he secured his hilt into his hand just in case anything would occur. Raiden brushed off his outer core of his clothing, removing only his hood and cape and pushed them aside into his cockpit. He then managed to quickly race over to the door and peaked in making sure not to be seen. He knew the man was strong and had knowledge of the voice.

Raiden seeked through the slaughter trying to become knowledgeable of how the Shade Jedi infront of him faught, he stayed out of sight and remained where he was. Trying to
find the best time to confront the Shade Jedi, or possibly strike.

 

[Trakon]

((Just so you know, I doubt you have any intel on the Shade and you couldn't tell he was a Shade, just that he has had force training and is determined. Hehehehe, I always wanted to kill a Jedi.))

Basilisk moved through the first of five rooms. He felt a Force behind him, but it was only that of a weak one, and he decided against killing one so young. Basilisk looked up and saw the camera in the corner. "I know what you have been doing with the ships. What you plan on doing with my ship. If you stop, I'll let you live."

The intercom spoke up a second later, coming in as Trandoshan. "You can't trust me, but you can believe I'll kill you if you don't tell me where my ship is." The intercom came on again. Basilisk nodded and walked through the next three rooms encountering no enemies. In the fifth room he entered and found himself surrounded by six gaurds and a Trandoshan with a heavy repeating blaster in his hands. The trandoshan spoke and Basilsik nodded.

"Well if it comes to that." Basilisk turned his lightsaber on. The guards got spooked and readied their weapons. "You'll pay." The guards looked at eachother and started to pull the triggers. Basilsik was aware, becoming one with the Force for however long it would take. His blade an extension of himself, the world became nothing but his anger, his blade, and his enemies. The guards on his right were thrown back, Basilsik ducked and the guards on the other side shot firing and killing their friends on the other side. Basilisk then turned threw his saber into the first, pulled it out and thrusted into the second, then twisted, beheading the last guard.

All in a matter of seconds. The Trandoshan dropped his weapons and got on his knees. It was apparent that he was begging for his life.

Raiden followed the male even farther into the rooms, he heard what had been said, he simply began to admire the Shade Jedi.. He figured he had to be a Shade Jedi, a Jedi simply wouldn't go against the code, and start randomly killing people... Raiden was a bit frightened but continued along behind the foe. He was constantly aware of him and the rest of his surroundings. He didn't want the guards to misplace him with the shade Jedi, so he tried to stay out of the way...

Raiden felt a sorrow for those that were killed, but he knew he couldn't take the Shade Jedi with the force. With his saber... yes... just maybe... But he didn't want to have an unfortunate ending, nobody every wants that. Raiden tightened his grip onto his hilt, he felt it was time to confront the shade Jedi. Raiden then stood up in a perfect posture, and once again tightened his hand around his hilt.

"Whom are you?!" Raiden shouted confidently.

 

[Trakon]

"One second." Basilsik leaned forward and the Trandoshan said something in his ear. Then a lightsaber blade came out from the top of his head.

"Now what were you saying- ah yes. I'm someone you don't screw with. Now get out of the way or I'll consider someone like them." Basilisk pointed to the dead bodies on the ground.


((OOC: You don't get it, the Shade are a independant faction, separate of the Jedi. They are also more secretive than the Jedi and the fact is no one knows what or who they are. It's a rule in the Shade compound that no one speak of the Shade outside it's own membership. So no one knows much about this group and for being a padawan who has yet to be trained I doubt you could either beat me or know about the Shade. Shade Thread , and this characters' profile Basilisk Uprabm ))

 

[FaMiLy]

(That's what I figured, and I knew I couldn't beat you, but you running everywhere it's kinda hard to comprehend with and roleplay with. So I'm kinda just following you around, you know? I didn't look much into the Shade faction, and I should have before I roleplayed, don't mean to look like a nub of any sort.)

Raiden twitched a little, he knew the man was very, very powerful. He attempted to ask questions, but he knew the man didn't want to comprehend, and would end in death for Raiden... He thought twice, maybe three times before associating with the man... He attempted but he knew that questions wouldn't work, that man was wise, and very smart. He was looking for something and one thing only, and Raiden was afraid if he got in front of that, he would end up like the others. Raiden was irresponsive for a long time... Finally he said,

"I apologize for me interrupting you, I mean no harm nor do I want to end up like those guys." He said pointing to the bodies, "I was noisy and should've of interfered with your doings. What do you wish for me to do? Your stronger then me and I'm sure you know that."

Raiden was fearing for the worst, he put his hilt back onto his belt, and with his apology he hoped the other would accept it... He didn't know what the one was but only knew he had great power, much more power then Raiden.

 

[Trakon]

"Get out of my way, and go back to the Jedi Temple. You follow and we will duel. Understand?"

 

[FaMiLy]

Raiden was determined, but he wasn't sure of what to do. He looked around a bit, and took time to put thought into the mans words. He figured if he stayed, he was dead. If he left, he was a coward. Either or could kill a man. He was willing to risk his life, but not for somebody like this. He figured he'd return to the Jedi Temple, or else he'd be gone.

Raiden turned around, head down, and walked toward the exit of all the rooms. He then walked over to his ship, called The KasMelan. He took the the robing he threw down earlier, and concealed his body with it. Folding the hood upwards, his face was then unseen. He leaned forward and pressed open the cockpit. From there he jumped into the cockpit and allowed him time to think. He thought that he would stay secure in the cockpit, he remained there, and just waited.

 

[Trakon]

Basilisk made his way out of the hangar, past Raiden's ship. He left and went just a few blocks away. It was a dark building large enough to house a ship chop shop.

 

[FaMiLy]

To his dismay Raiden knew the man was up to something, unfortunately he didn't want to get apart of it. Raiden pressed onto a few buttons and his landing gear came inside his ship. He was soon hovering above the landing pad, and pushed his throttle upwards. Raiden took off...

(I can't really take it anywhere, that and i'm tired of following. x])

 

[Galykia]

Killeth was wandering the streets, seemingly lost. He was sent by the republic after a few of their ships dissapeared in this region. The Republic was unsure if it was local criminals or Alsakan sabotage. Either way it was Killeth who needed to search this particular area for any trace of the ship theifs.

Killeth had no clue as to where to go. He had a mugshot of a Trandoshan who usually did his "business" around this neighborhood. He was a primary target, known for operating chop shops. He could lead him back to the republics ships or at least what was left of them.

After several hours of searching he aproached a Miraluka with black and red hair. He seemed to have a bad vibe to him. Killeth ignored it, all he wanted was to ask a question or two.

Excuse me sir. Have you seen this Trandoshan or do you know where he "works"? Killeth asked with hope he may actually get someone who can answer his question, unlike the dozen others who knew nothing.

 

[Trakon]

"There are several Trandoshan's that work around here. And no I don't. But if you look in that hangar, there is a large amount of bodies. Ask the kid in the cockpit of his ship. Other wise, bug off." Basilisk pulled away from the man and palmed his lightsaber should the man pull a blaster. He headed off towards the chop shop.

 

[Galykia]

Bodies? Killeth seemed confused, did the kid in the cockpit kill some people. He ran off toward the hangar as fast as he could.

When he arrived to the damp hangar he spotted a dead guard, but no ship. He was to late, the kid must of fled. Killeth ran room to room, spotting each body. The last body he inspected was a trandoshan. It looked like the criminal he was searching for. It was hard to I.D. because of the blood and mutilated head. It had the mathching blaster tatoo on his arm.

"Killeth to H.Q., I have located the dead body of Farsgad, sending the cordinates now." After he contacted headquarters he needed more info about the suspect who fled and the other stranger who likly had some info. Since the first is long gone, he ran off to catch up with the stranger.

 

[Trakon]

Basilisk had gotten to a building that looked like offices. This was where they were running the chop shop. Out back was a fenced area filled with ships.

Most likely where mine is, thought Basilisk. Basilisk decided to kill the heart and he went inside the offices. There were two guards, and he dispatched them with ease, by throwing them onto the ceremonial spear on the wall. It must've been a decoration. Basilisk continued on his way.
