[ASK] Industrial Espionage

[Phoenix]

Tal began to make his way down the mountain. It was a bit of a trade off as far as difficulty, on the one hand it was much less tiring to climb down than up but on the other it was very steep and traveling down steep terrain was often difficult. He half-climbed, half-slid his way down to the bottom with what was as close to ease as he could accomplish. That’s one step closer to payday.

With the mountain behind him he began to make his way to the rendezvous point and that meant back through swampland. He was certainly glad to have a fully sealed suit of armor or he was certain he would have been eaten alive by bugs. He wasn’t a particularly adept swamp fighter and some of the sounds of the local wildlife put him on edge. He would be glad when he was out of here. Until that time he decided to keep his rifle handy lest someone sneak up on him, or worse something. He knew that some of the most vicious wildlife in the galaxy could be found on this world and he really would prefer to stay unacquainted with them.

After about an hour of trekking through the swamp, a trip that would have taken much less than that had it been in other terrain, he finally arrived at the RV point.

Dante stepped over another fallen log, almost tripping when he felt something brush past his foot. He decided to ignore it, as he could already see the rendezvous in the distance. Speeding up to a slow jog, he reaches it in a few minutes. Once there, he starts a small stretching session, getting the kinks out of his muscles. He then began to see his partner in the distance, happy to see that he succeeded, as he arrived.

 

[Phoenix]

He came to the small clearing and saw his partner stretching. Gotta respect a guy who spends his spare time doing something. Well time to finish the job and get out of this nasty swamp. “Greetings! I assume you were successful? Lets finish this up and get back to the Vesajilic estate.” He pulled out his detonator. “Got your detonator? Ready for the fireworks?” He depressed the trigger on his detonator and in the distance smoke began to rise. He wished he could have seen it. He loved a good explosion but oh well. Job well done.

 

[DaBomb]

Dante finishes his stretching when he is spoken too, standing up straight immediately. Nodding, he pulls he detonator and presses it. Looking in the distance, he sees another continuous cloud of smoke, to accompany it's nearby twin. Putting the detonator back in his satchel, he looks back at Tal, noticing his apparent lack of blood on his armor. He either was able to clean up, or he was able to do his job without any kills. Dante couldn't say the same, but it didn't matter, the explosion would erase any evidence that he was there.

"Yes, twas successful

I am ready to return​

It's time to get paid."

 

[Phoenix]

A man of few words and right to the point. Tal could respect that. “Yes, let’s go get paid,” he agreed with a smile. The trek out of the swamp felt a little slow but towards the end he felt like he was starting to get the hang of this bog. Of course part of that was that he decided to start following in his partner’s footsteps since he seemed to be a master at this. After a bit of traveling they finally made it to some solid ground. They grabbed a speeder and took it back to the Vesajilic estate. They were told to wait and that a member of the family would be along shortly.

 

[DaBomb]

Dante gets on the back of the speeder, but leaves some room in between them, so things wouldn't get awkward. As they arrived back at the estate, he got off the bike and waited. He remembered being told to wait for the Hutt, so that's what he did. He whistled to himself and tapped his foot, trying to entertain himself.

 

[Nor'baal]

It had most certainly been a hectic day, with his Brother ensuring the Gang would be 'otherwise engaged' when the pipeline and the rest of their settlement facilities fell to the Cartel. Nor'baal the Younger had been very, very busy. Naturally, he wanted the days business concluded as soon as possible.

He met the Mercenaries outside the front doors of the Vesajilic Estate, with two of his guards, and a large case of Credits. <''Is it done?''> asked the Hutt?

 

[Phoenix]

Tal watched the Hutt come out of his estate. I truly grand and impressive estate indeed. What Tal was really happy to see though was the credits that he brought with him. That’s what this was all about really. Money. “Is it done?” “Indeed it is. Charges were set in two places on the pipeline and the detonation traveled over most of the space between. Almost five miles of destroyed pipeline. It will be out of business for the foreseeable future.”

 

[DaBomb]

Dante stared at the briefcase for a couple seconds, then shifted his attention to the guards, then back to the Hutt. Seeing that the job was done, he took of his mask and replaced it with the one he wore at the beginning of the mission. He stood there silently, waiting for the mission to conclude.
