The Future of the Sontrebren Crew (Sontrebren ONLY)

[D.C.]

The streets of Coruscant were foggy and here and there were a few lights. Among this fog walked a man with long black hair and a tan skin. Between his lips was a cigarette and on his right leg was a holster that contained a blaster. He was wearing a black leather jacket, a red shirt, blue pants and black leather boots. This man was Capo Blake Zeth, aka The Gambler.

With his right hand he pushed open a door and walked down the stairway, into the hideout of The Sontrebren Crew. He had walked all the way from his appartment to here.

As he walked down the stairs, into the underground tunnels, he reached a hallway. He had been here a hundred times, if not a thousand times, and he walked towards the big hall where their meeting would be. This meeting was about the Future of the Sontrebren Crew. Their boss Eris Sontrebren and underboss Malkav Dem, had died.

The Gambler walked into the big room and sat down on a chair as he waited for the others to show up.

 

[Azazel]

The death of the crews leadership was unexpected, He arrived from off planet canceling a hunt he had been planing. The unsuspecting target would live another day this meeting was more important. His ship made its way to landpad on Coruscant he exited wearing his mission attire of all black. Wearing his black combat vest, pants, boots which he wore over his blackbased battle suit. Slug Rifle on his back, baster on his right hip, and twin daggers on his right leg and left thigh. He had made his way to a underground tunnel entreance in a ally vanishing from the city streets.

He made his way to the meeting place and entered the room seeing Capo Blake sitting at a seat. He gave a nod and greeted the man. Azazels Voice harsh and full of a malice he received throughout his life.

"Capo Blake"

Leaning against the wall Azazel faced the door to watch the others as they would walk in.

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

In the backroom, Teo was preparing for the meeting. He was prepping the projector to present any needed info and linking to the computers in the base. He was also getting the security droids running. This many of The Crew in one place was bound to brew conflict, Teo knew they or uninvited guests would need to be controlled.

Opening the back room he allowed the door to close behind him and lock. One had to enter a code to enter the room each time. Of course... for Teo it would open automatically at his command. "Good day, sir." He said as he walked to his seat at the table. It was the closest one to the control room, in case he needed to go in there. "I trust you are well."

 

[Project]

Torlan did expect the death of the arrogant Kid Eris, it was not like he was the smartest in his eyes... however - the Sontreben Crew was dead now, aslong as they payed him to be still in this Group, he would stay - and wait for the refund.
The night approached, revealing far away suns, which were ignited by fire.
Coruscant was in the night, a dark and scary place - he once had to fight against one Ghoul, and it was enough for him, when the beast cried for help.
A fight, that took him days to solve... but now he was on the way to a meeting between the dead, and another group.
With a shine in his eyes, revealing nothing but boredom, he entered the meeting room.The Gunslinger looked to Blake, nodding towards him and greeting with the words "Zeth!", which was obviously his lastname.

Kovacs did not expect this meeting to go without sweat, still he did not care - he was allready in far more dangerous places then this one.

 

[D.C.]

As the other men entered the room Blake looked up and greeted them one by one as they entered, simply by saying: "Hello" or "Hey". He did not waste too much breath by greeting them and he would sit on his chair until all the men were in. He trusted these men, but still he was somewhat relieved that Teo had taken the precognitions.

He remained silent as they waited for the others to show up.

OOC: Almost forgotten. I'll lead the meeting.

 

[Galykia]

Adelaide gracefully walked into the meeting room and turned to the capo and greeted him. She proceeded to a chair a sat down. She knew that something really important was to take place at this meeting. She din't care what, she just wanted to get it started soon.

 

[Viggy]

Nine Lives touched down in an old abandoned lot, and its Cathar pilot soon stepped out. Poknor sighed, adjusting the strap that kept his slug thrower on his back as he walked over to the entry to the Sontrebren hideout. He couldn't believe Eris and Malkav were gone. Though he knew it was a bit of a career opportunity for himself, he would still miss Malkav's dependable ruthlessness and Eris' proud leadership.

Stepping down into the tunnels, Poknor made his way to the meeting room. He nodded to all the familiar faces in the room as he sat down beside Blake.

 

[Jiang Winters]

Samanya forced herself to take a deep breath to calm herself as she began to descend the stairs leading into the Sontrebren Crew's hideout. This was perhaps her tenth time walking down these stairs as one of the crew's soldiers, and yet, the Boss and Underboss had both died already.

The young cathar woman wasn't dressed for a fight, though she was carrying her snub pistol in its leather holster. Instead, she was wearing black cargo pants, black leather work boots, and a soft leather sports jacket that was, naturally, black in color. Underneath it all was the tight-fitting bodysuit she frequently wore, though her jacket was zipped up, hiding it from sight.

As she entered the room, she simply offered a thin, tired-looking smile to anyone who looked her way, then took a seat just behind where everyone else was sitting. Not so far that the distance would make a statement, but far enough that if something went wrong, she'd have time to make a break for cover. Though she sincerely hoped no conflict would spark between the crew; losing Malkav and Sontrebren was damaging enough, the last thing any of them needed was more valuable friends being killed through senseless in-fighting.

 

[D.C.]

OOC: Leviatho had Knot in the Sontrebren Crew but I do not know if he still is interested in being part of the faction as he has not yet put up his character sheet of Knot. I have PMd him. We will just continue with this thread in the meantime, anyway. I don't want to hold you guys up too much.

IC:
Everyone was in, except for Knot. That big muscular Yuzzem had not reported to Blake for weeks and Blake failed to get into contact with him. He was a little bit worried about what was going on with Knot and he hoped that the Yuzzem had not died.

Clearing his throat as he threw his cigarette into the bin next to him, he stood up and leaned a bit over the table in front of him and put his hands on it. He looked around the group with a cold look in his brown eyes and and then spoke: "As you all know, Eris Sontrebren and Malkav Dem have died. Now, let's not cry about it and let's not waste breath by telling each other how sorry we are. Let's get to business."

He then stood tall and crossed his arms. "This faction cannot die. We will not, and I repeat, NOT let down. Everyone who wants to quit, walk out the door now and never ever show your face again or I'll tear it apart."

Blake remained silent after these harsh words and looked around the group of gangsters. He did not wait for anyone to give response and continued: "A new leader. Pok here and I have discussed it before this meeting and we have come to the conclusion that I will become the new Boss and Poknor will be the Underboss, for the sake of The Sontrebren Crew. We will also keep the name 'The Sontrebren Crew', to honour Govon Sontrebren who had founded this organization. Govon was a man we all respected, Eris was a man we respected less. In some time, we will decide who will become the new Capos and who will be in their crews. Questions?"

 

[Azazel]

He listened closely, still leaning against the wall looking at Blake. Azazel had no problems with anything he said but one thing remained on his mind.

"Boss Blake, Will we retaliate against the people who ended both Eris and Malkav?"

He said it harsh and straight forward as if their deaths where a small inconvenience, It was all business right now. Azazel wanted to know if he should get ready for some bloody battle. His bloodshoot yellow eyes examining all in attendance.

 

[D.C.]

The Gambler looked over to Azazel. The sniper had been in his crew for about twenty years, and he trusted the man. He was glad Azazel accepted the fact that he would be the new boss.

"No." Blake answered simply. "It was a very foolish action of Eris and Malkav and probably their own stupid fault. I don't want to bother with these COSMOS blokes. That would be a waste of time and a waste of money. Probably a waste of blood too. No, I want to concentrate on more important things, such as keeping this faction up and running instead of being completed killed to the very single last man. Any more questions?"

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

Teo began building a chart in his mind. It projected in the middle of the table.

Blake Zeth, and below it was Poknor with a small picture of each next to their names. As more ranks would be announced the chart would widen to show ranks and their positions in the crew.

 

[Azazel]

He didn't care either way now he can save ammunition. He looked at the chart that appeared showing the new heads of the crew.

"COSMOS... could be a great asset to The Crew so are we going to make an alliance with them permeably one that doesn't ended in death. They could be another good source of credits"

 

[Project]

"I was hired first by Goven, then by Eris, Blake - I am a Mercenary - your thinking of rehire me?" he asked respectfully, something rather strange to his normal behavor.
He looked towards Blake, awaiting his response.

 

[D.C.]

"Could be, but I want to focus on reforming our faction first before I run into any other business. I want all ranks set up and I want the faction to be fully recovered from the deaths of its former leaders. Then I might pay these COSMOS guys a visit to talk with them my way. In a friendly way, so I will get to leave alive. Any more suggestions or questions from any of you?"

Then Torlan spoke and Blake looked over to him. "Of course, Torlan." He answered. "You have proven yourself to be a valuable soldier. If you're still up for it, consider yourself hired."

 

[Azazel]

"With the influx in power resolved as our head leadership is in place" Azazel looked around the room for any sighs, small laughs or any thing that would suggest someone is unhappy with the leadership. "Reforming our faction shouldn't take that long and the capo situation is up to Blake and Poknor. Our biggest problem is the respect we have held has no doubt diminished since the days of Govon. We have and will be looked down on, I have seen More and more groups pushing on to our spice trade. Up security and keep an eye on our fleet of ships and we should be good."

Azazel wasn't one to speak, usually in the back quite but he had always kept an eye on his credit supply, which was the Crew. If the crew was in trouble it means no more hunts to fuel his obsession, that he just could not allow.

"We are all skilled killers but this is business."
His back now against the wall and rifle next to him, holding the barrel as the butt of the rifle was on the floor.

 

[D.C.]

"Yes, Azazel, I have noticed that too in my days as Capo when Eris was still boss. Eris did not do anything about it, but I will. We will. After Poknor and I have chosen the two new Capos, the Capos can name their crews and we shall asign soldiers to the crews, but the crews will basically remain the same. The only difference is that a soldier becomes capo and the rest remains soldier. When that's settled, we will begin with what Azazel just said, as I had planned it myself. Higher security and I want everyone of you to keep an eye on the fleet. Good thinking, Azazel." He nodded to Azazel who stood in the corner.

Still standing there with his arms crossed, he looked around the group once more.

"We have much to do in the future, but we won't do it all at the same time and we will not do anything stupid that can cause our downfall. I want you all to treat each other with respect, and respect whoever becomes your new capo, and above all..." He smashed both his fists on the table in front of him, and he looked around the group with his cold brown eyes. "...I want you to respect me as the new boss and Poknor as the new underboss. No fighting, no questioning one's leadership, no mocking, no betrayal, and just listen to your orders and complete your jobs succesfully. Respect and loyalty for your leader above all. Is that clear?"

 

[Project]

Torlan nodded straight..."I'm normally on the Justice side on lore, but anyway, we need besides Security, also a good supply on weapons... I make you an Offer, Blake, I supply the crew with weapons, from where i have them - let's just say i have some crazy Duros as friends.I supply you with 10 Crates of the types of Weapons you choose, just tell me, which. " Kovacs' offered Blake "Before you ask, what the hook on this is, their is none.You get your profits from it, and i mine... also besides that, I want to rebuild this Crew with you, it's somehow, also my business. However, what you say Blake? "
Torlan awaited the response of Blake, after he finished his greatful offer of 10 Crates of Blaster or Slugthrower Weapons.

 

[D.C.]

"That sounds very interesting, Torlan." Blake replied to the gunslinger. "Both slugthrowers and blasters I want. Slugthrowers might be old fashioned, but they are still reliable and lethal. Fine, you supply the faction with weapons and the responsibilty of the shipments is in your hands. You say there is no hook on this, but I assume I can't get those weapons for free, can I?"

 

[Project]

"No, I have some Wookiees as Friends, and they own more then just Wood.With other words, I get them for free, and anyhow, i said too much allready about those Tree People.Don't worry, you will get them in a few days... 5 Slugthrower Crates and 5 Blaster Crates?" he asked atlast, awaiting the response of his Contractor.
