Ask [Beniri] Right Where I Left It

[Pellios]

Not a lot of people got out to Wild Space. Plenty of people never left their home system or planet for that matter let alone travel beyond the Outer Rim. But in Pellios's time he had traveled far and wide. The key was to be discrete and do good business. Otherwise a smuggler runs the risk of drawing attention which usually was a bad thing.

The sulfuric planet of Beniri seemed to loom above the Chuckle-Wagon before he rotated the ship and had it directly ahead. Opening up the communications link with those that were accompanying him, his gravely voice would clear itself and then speak. "Ahem, fair warning, this place has storms and a less than pleasant environment. Hope you have the right filters fitted." He said before making an approach to Blackpool.

Inside the corellian light freighter was a few groundcars being delivered to the planet. They were made with special corrosive resistant parts though Pellios had his doubts. The job was partially a cover since the planet Beniri and Pellios went back a few decades.

On the moon, further into the dark side is a cache of items the Devaronian stowed away awhile back. However after checking up, there seems to be a prison that had been established after his hideout. Thus, he hasn't visited it in quite awhile. The trove of equipment that hopefully was still there and in good condition would be worth the delve. But first he needed to make a drop off on the planet the moon orbited.

Beside him in the cockpit was Jann, the redheaded copilot had a scowl on her face, anticipating the unpleasant odor of the planet. "I'm staying with the ship." She said. Pellios chuckled and nodded. "See if you can get that R7 hunk-a junk working maybe" He said to the unit that was in parts in the cargo bay.

Once the ship landed he would unstrap himself and make his way down the ramp. Dress in an outfit appropriate for the planet, he had yet to give the others the full details on his stash location. The deal with Lucifer was he would get a nice set of small arms in the form of some DC-17xs. Three turbo crawlers and a transport hauler, and probably some other stolen goods he had forgotten about also made up the inventory. But for all Pellios knew, it was looted. The man hadn't set up a remote connection to the place, not wanting to leave a trace or have a signal. It as old school left and forgotten like an animal's food hidden away during fall. But now was the venerable spring time and the Devaronian was still a business man who needed to make ends meet.

A Mandalorian contact was hired along on the job as well. Connections with the Syndicate families showed he was cooperative at least. That was good and as long as he was not a self destructive buckethead then they would work well together.

[Rynn Itera]

The young Mandalorian sat planetside, waiting for the other participants to arrive and a debrief on operations. From the scant information collected, it seemed like a simple enough job, a retrieval of sorts. Could have picked a better planet, he thought to himself as he peered up towards the acidic like rain that seemed to splatter across the visor of his helmet.

"I'm ready to go," he'd say through the secure connection as he began injecting himself with his much needed shots. The pain stung, but would quickly subside. With a deep breath the young hunter would pull himself up from his seat, and would approach the old alien as he descended.

"Rynn Itera," he'd say with a short not to the man. "How much resistance should we expect?"

[Lucifer Starck]

It was time to meet an old contact, Pellios. The Devaronian had made a good deal with Lucifer in the past, and now there's another deal being made. Lucifer had known he was coming to retrieve some items. What better way to get the job done than to bring extra hands? Waiting along with Lucifer would be a group of five mobsters. Time for getting the job done was coming now as Pellios would be arriving.

Next to him was some Mandalorian kid that was probably trying to make ends meet. How pathetic. Oh well, at least he was on the same side as the half blood Chiss. Otherwise, the kid would probably wish he didn't come out. Ignoring the fact the kid was Mando, he would greet back as well,

"Lucifer Starck. These are my boys."

Lucifer motioned his hand to point to the men behind him. They were all carrying the weapons that were sold to him prior to this. Some good heat they were. When the greeting was finished Lucifer would answer the question that came from the Mando boy.

"I presume somewhere between a lot and a little. Just keep your head on right and you'll be fine."

@Darasuum @TWD26

 

[Rynn Itera]

The young Mandalorian turned towards the men and the blue skinned stranger. His golden visor from his armor tilted a bit, reflecting in the muggy air. He'd rest his hands on his blasters, checking for his pistols, and then his rifle, and made it clear to the half-chiss that he had a conquered lightsaber present. Rynn didn't need credits, he had more of them than he cared for -- this was all about the thrill.

"Can't handle the heat on your own?" The Mandalorian would shoot a quip towards Lucifer, "Just stay out of my way, and the job will be done."

[Pellios]

"Cool you iron and stow your junk cuz I'm the one with that's swinging things around here." He said between the half-chiss and the Mandalorian. "I didn't bring you here to fight each other."[/color] The pride of a Mandalorian was renown but also they could be egotistical. That didn't mean he hadn't earned the reputation but when nothing but sharks are in gathered they needed to have a school of fish to chase.

"Hope those blasters have been working out for you, Lucifer." He gave a nod to the mobster and his crew. "If we're lucky, we go there and come back as nothing more than blips on the local defense's sensor array. The moon's not populated except for a prison on the opposite side of where my stash is. Provided nobody has discovered it...there shouldn't be anybody there. Ah kark...U just remembered" He rubbed his forehead, hitting himself for not thinking of it sooner. "I should probably see if there's a gonk droid before we leave. The place has been out of power for awhile." It was that or get enough cabling to run the ship's reactor all the way to his bunker of a stash. That was going to be just as expensive as a brand new gonk droid and less fun to haul.

At least they had Lucifer's muscle to help as a number of bodies. "Chances of the generator being perma-dead is high." He sighed and waved a hand in front of himself and his cohorts. "I'll get it and then we'll head out. Sound good? Are we all flying with me?" He hooked a thumb over his shoulder towards the Chuckle-Wagon.

The Mandalorian's hands would pull away from his hilt as Pellios made his way towards the group. He'd turn to the Contractor and would tilt his head a bit as he listened to the alien's request. If the power was out in this bunker, who knew what sort of creatures could have turned it into a nest, or rather if the loot was even remaining inside. "Who owns the prison?" The Mandalorian would ask through his helmet's communicator.

"My ship did not pick up any incoming transmissions as we entered the atmosphere. The more information we have, the better we can prepare for a snatch and grab." He'd pause and would turn to look towards Pellios' ship. "I believe it would be best to fly with you, keep it under the radar."

[Lucifer Starck]

Ignoring the idiot Mandalorian, what was the word they used? Di'kut? Yea that's the one. Anyway Lucifer looked to Pellios and would grin as he nodded to show greeting and listen to the words from the Devaronian. When the time to answer questions came he would simply begin with,

"Of course, they are working well. Put them to the test on a couple scrubs trying to swindle me. Good thing I figured them out and had them fried. As for the the rest I do believe this mission will be quite simple. Easy? Not so much seeing how this street rat has the audacity to speak to myself with such tone."

Lucifer looked at the little Mando and then chuckled

"I do believe riding all together is best for the task."

@Darasuum @TWD26

 

[Pellios]

"Let's get on board then." He waved them on and headed back into his ship. "The Mining Guild...they have their fingers in almost everything around here I suspect." There could be some tough members among them and they were a galaxy spanning organization. "...they might sound like merchants or suits but out here sometimes they shoot first and ask questions later. They're not going to broadcast 'avoid me' cuz they're probably fine with just shooting us out of the sky..." That wasn't even to mention the bureaucracy backing and legal red tape would make it all get swept under the rug if anything was tried in court. Soon enough they would see the black and gold livery of the Mining Guild the more they spent on the moon's surface. "...it's not like they're unwelcome on frontier places like this. Chances are they have made a deal with the local government for the privatized prison or whatever." Pellios gave a wave of his hand, feeling like he wasn't interested in giving the whole status of the system to the Mandalorian. Otherwise he might start asking for weather updates.

"There's gas miners also on the far side of the system. Big ones but they radiation was probably messing with your scans." He added to the Mandalorian's comment. Even a garman could hide in the right conditions, like behind a gas giant that the moon orbited. But maybe the armored hunter had just missed it. "Do you have listening equipment on your ship?" His hand rose to stroke the silvery beard in thought.

@TWD26 @Scoobert

 

[Lucifer Starck]

"I say we take them by force. With myself and my men and you and your weapons, we should be able to get through with only some resistance. The Mando boy here would clearly ruin any plans of moving forward in the mission. I suggest we leave the kid to watch the ship while the men do the hard work."

Lucifer didn't pay any mind to look at the armored kid. He needn't the urge to feel like he had won an argument, mainly because he knew with the squeeze of his hand, the mando would drop and never come back up. The same could be said for many of the men in the prison that the group was looking to infiltrate. Lucifer was usually one for diplomacy but in this situation, there is no diplomatic solution with bandits and thugs.

"The decision is yours though."

@Darasuum @TWD26

 

[Pellios]

Pellios was not here to have a gang war with the Mining Guild and their local thugs. "Let's see what's in my old stash and take anything worth grabbing." He answered Lucifer. There was some aggression between the Chiss mob boss and the Mandalorian. Pellios was not sure if Lucifer was trying to establish some pecking order or something but it would not surprise him given the man's observed charisma. "All things go as planned, we won't have to deal with the Mining guild or the local authorities." But there was always other dangers besides the obvious ones. There was only one way to find out what those were.

Instead of calling him kid, because everyone here was younger than the aging Devaronian, he looked towards the Mandalorian. "You're coming but as long as there's not an army waiting for us when we land I'll have you guarding the Chuckle Wagon. " The smuggler was not going to waste a perfectly good warrior. The employee had been hired for this job and his skills, while paired with testosterone, was still useful for the scoundrel. "All aboard." He said, forcing any further discussion to be had en route to his hidden cache away from the current town they were in. They would get a gonk droid some other time.

The experienced hands of the ship captain had guided the Chuckle Wagon into orbit and into the shadow of the sulfuric moon. The gas giant it orbited was forever present on the horizon, whatever part was not obscured by clouds. No patrols or abnormal readings were detected along the way. If anyone had noticed them travel to the far side of the moon opposite the prison or one of the other settlements, they gave no indication of it. A lack of fire from weapon emplacements was always welcome too.

The engines of the corellian light freighter wound down as Pellios landed it a few dozen meters from the entrance of the bunker like structure. There was not a lot above ground making it easier to avoid scans. For a moment Pellios was worried he had forgotten the location or maybe there was a rock slide that could have covered the place under tons of stone and minerals. Ironically there was supposed to be mining equipment inside.

Thankfully there wasn't any bandits or activity of any kind in the immediate area. It seemed as if nobody had been there since Pellios had last come. Going to the embedded blast doors in the rock, they looked even more natural after having been weathered for so long by the years. Pulling open the access panel, Pellios began working on getting the door open. After a few moments the heavy metalic tooth-like doors opened enough to even allow the light freighter to go inside if he was careful. However there was already items inside and artifacts. Everything Pellios had talked about earlier and more was inside the cache. The Devaronian smiled and could see some of the systems inside the bunker were slowly coming back online. "No need to run the cable from the ship after all." It was good when things went his way every once in awhile.
