Ask Coruscant ARTIFICIAL GREED

[Krinn Nelthar]

Well, he had certainly hoped the Jedi would just fly off into open air and hit the landing platform below. He'd be alright, probably. The force was a powerful enough ally for surviving falls without a few broken legs. But no, this one was stubborn, perhaps more-so than Krinn was, and that only serves to fill his dark eyes with rage. The bright flash of the Knight's saber tears through the hull of the careening taxi, and the Nautolan can feel it sputter beneath him as it lost power.

He doesn't wait to see where his opponent jumps off to, Krinn jerks the controls to the left to avoid an impact with the fast approaching wall, as the vessel he pilots rapidly loses ground, descending toward the back of the broad landing platform, where it connected to the street. The Sith grits his teeth, preparing to abandon the speeder a moment before it struck the artificial ground that was already getting far too close for comfort. Lunging out of the cushioned driver's seat, he dives toward the platform a moment before the taxi slams hard into flooring, sliding across the structure with the screeching sound of dragging metal. Krinn, at least, knows how to cushion his fall. He rolls with the momentum of the impact, quick to scramble back to his feet with an explosive huff of breath. Bruised and battered, to be sure, and he'd probably feel a lot worse once the adrenaline began to fade. But, well, he was still alive.

Tiberius stood on the platform looking up as the speeder that the nautolan occupied. The vehicle had started to leave a trail of smoke behind it as it sailed through the air. The speeder turned left and started heading for the platform that Tiberius was currently standing on. Luckily, it had enough altitude that it went over his head. Tiberius spun around and watch the speed make contact with the ground. There was a loud screeching noise of metal scraping against the ground. The speeder came to a rest after colliding with a vegetable stand. “MY CABBAGES!” came the voice of the stalls proprietor.

Just prior to the speeders collision with the ground Tiberius saw the nautolan leap out of the doomed vehicle. Tiberius had expected to lose the sith after leaving the vehicle. As luck would have it though they were now on the same platform.

Tiberius laid eyes on the darkly robed nautolan once again and began to give chase. Tiberius sprinted towards the green skinned alien in an attempt to catch him. He had hoped that the sith hadn’t noticed where Tiberius had gone, thus giving the jedi an element of surprise. His plan was to tackle the alien, assuming Tiberius presence went unnoticed. If they Nautolan had noticed the jedi and ran for it Tiberius would do his best to pursue the man.

[Krinn Nelthar]

Battered and bruised as he might be, Krinn isn't blind to the force. He can sense the fast approach of his opponent, still too stubborn to give up, even after crashing the taxi and setting some poor vendor's produce ablaze. Krinn blows out a breath as he jerks on his heels to flee from the platform before he could be tackled. The Nautolan doesn't even bother to look back at where the Jedi might be, he only knows that he's close, but perhaps this particular level of Coruscant was a blessing in disguise. It was a lot more crowded than the previous.

Krinn throws himself into the streets, twisting through the many people who moved between shops and restaurants which glowed with neon holo-signs. His intent was to wind through the twisting labyrinth of streets to lose his persistent pursuer once and for all.

Before Tiberius could get within striking distance the green skinned alien set off running. The Nautolan was quick, but Tiberius, ever persistent, chased after the sith. The pair was on the upper levels of Coruscant now, which meant that the thoroughfares were much more populated than the lower levels where this chase began. Tiberius was able to keep up for a little while, but eventually the crowds made it hard to keep track of the sith.

Tiberius continued in the direction he had seen the nautolan go, but after several minutes of navigating the crowded streets it seemed that this pursuit was pointless. He had lost the sith in the sea of beings that surrounded him. Hopefully this encounter was enough to scare the sith away, off the planet. Only time would tell. Perhaps the jedi and sith’s paths would cross again. Who knew? For the time being Tiberius would go back to his hotel and regroup before figuring out what was next for him.
