SOMEWHERE JUST OUTSIDE OF KESSEL
1000 Hours

Not everyone can be a slicer. It takes brains. It takes patience. But mostly, it takes luck. A lot about what slicing is, is making sure the person on the other end isn't aware of what you are doing. At best, someone could just unplug the system and then you'd be locked out. Or if they were as good or better as the slicer, then they could fight back your hack and potentially turn it back against you. Then that have your data instead of the other way around. It was a risky business, but Kae'Leigh confident she could win.
Kae'Leigh Tameris was not one for gambling. The games were rigged or it was impossible to tell the actual skill lever of the other player you were playing against. Especially in card games. Sure a lot of it came down to luck, but an experienced card gambler would tell you nothing ever happened in luck. Kae'Leigh stayed away from these kinds of situations. She never played unless she was almost certain she'd win. She never let her greed overcome her smarts. She knew when to call it quits.
With slicing though, there was always the potential that the other player didn't even know he was playing. Those were the sames Kae'Leigh liked best. She liked a score or a good mark to be so oblivious to the game that by the time she'd taken all his credits she was long gone. That's what the young, blue skinned Twi'lek did best. She was a criminal by heart and a good one at that. But now her criminal skills were being put to the test as she was going to be using them for someone else. Sure she'd get paid for the task, but the over all point was she wasn't doing this to get rich.
Her mission was to assist an ally smuggler take coaxium from Kessel and get it to the Galactic Alliance. No easy task. It would take some serious bluffing to get past all the security measures and get out of the system alive without anyone asking the wrong questions. Kae'Leigh was...pretty sure she could get past the security measures. After all, it was just speaking the right words to the right people. People here meaning computers. And words meaning binary codes. What could go wrong...?
Kae'Leigh was currently onboard The Epherian Arc, a overhead class freighter captained by a woman she'd never met before. Those were always the worst kinds of missions. Kae'Leigh didn't like meeting new people, regardless if they were on her side or not. Being a Twi'lek, she had a horrible time trusting people. That's how she'd gotten by in life up until now. She was always looking over her shoulder, always keeping her home and personal life out of anyone else's sight, and never ever getting into bed with anyone who she couldn't somehow blackmail. She wouldn't do it. But she liked having the option should they turn on her first. It was a lot harder to do when the Galactic Alliance was spread out so thin throughout the verse and they were setting you up with partners left and right. She'd likely never see this girl again and for now that was fine with the Twi'lek. She'd get the mission done and fly home with her newly found credits.
Dressed in a red and black flight suit that covered her body down to her ankles, Kae'Leigh looked the part of any generic pilot. Her shoulders were bare, down to her forearms where she wore long gloves that had a basic computer system in it for communications. Her lekku, the tails on her head which mimicked the hair on humans, was kept back by a red headband that wrapped around her ears. It was a traditional Twi'lek head piece which was very common in their species. Around her waist was a heavy duty tool belt for repairs and the like, but she secretly was keeping key cards hidden in the parts for the slicing she would do soon. The belt doubled as a gun holster which hung just off to the side of her right leg and was carrying an R-5 blaster pistol in the leather pouch.
The R-5 wasn't the only weapon she was bringing. Though, it would be the only one visible. Kae'Leigh had recently been taken in by a Jedi master by the name of Vu'thari. But very few people in the Galactic Alliance knew this. As such, she hadn't told her new partner yet either. She hoped she wouldn't have to tell her either. But she'd be bringing along with her a green lightsaber with a hooden hilt that Vu'thari had given to her to borrow. The weapon had belonged to his grandfather. She was permitted to take it with her so long as she promised to not use it unless she had to. When she would craft her own saber, then she could do with it what she wished. But for her safety, he still advised keeping her Jedi Padawan status a well-kept secret. She had no problem with that because she already had trouble trusting people. So, for now, she stored the silver and brown hilt in her KLT service droid she nicknamed Johnny.
"Ready to exit hyperspace," she would say to Aellyn as the red light on the woman's console began to flash. Kae'Leigh gave the girl a reassuring smile. "You nervous? I sure am. We should be fine though. I know we will. Slicing is what I do best after all."
