Finding The Weak Points

[Burkhart Kelborn]

♣ THEME ♣

"An than we wuz poppin outta hyperspace. We appened on soom bloody ol empire fools an some republica dopes before they ad united. They wuz fightin right there in the hangar bay. So ya know what I did? I'll tell ya wot I did. I flew into the hangar bay an blasted the shields keepin the whole hangar bay pressurized. ZOOOP out they went inta tha void. Bunch a dumbarse karkin force users wavin there dang glow sticks." A laugh from the two fellow crewmates echoed over the inner ship communication link.

It was a true story and a hilarious one since the three mandos, Reyna, Daz and Burkhart had all been hungover as an anchor on a wet ship. It had been this very ship that he had done those things. The Effervescent, his pride and joy.

Patting the dashboard with a gloved hand he took a deep breath letting his personal beviinir armor stretch over his large frame. The rest of his crew was similarly equiped for the time being though they had a spare change of flight suits. "Thar's always anothar memory ta be made luv." He whispered to the vessel knowing there was always more to achieve, more adventures to have.

In the standard transition, Burkhart came out of hyperspace in high orbit over Serenno. As an entrepreneur dabbling in the covert transport of high valued items, also known as smuggling, he had acquired an advanced IFF spoofer to not attract attention to himself. "Nuf lollygaggin lads. Look sharp, we're in enemy territree." His thick rolled cigara rolled in between his canine teeth as he chewed the slowly smoking vice.

[Dax Rau (TL8)]

Dax was reclining in the pilot's seat of his smuggler upgraded Overhead freighter. Only the glow of the HUD and the dashboard to illuminated the small space. The commando didn't bother to dress for combat, if he had to set foot outside for this job then the plan for it would be truly going tits up. Instead he was in tac pants and a thermal undershirt, Quickdraw pistols on both hips.

Ridding shotgun as always and doing most if not all of the technical work for the ship was his trusted droid A-7. The little green can was busy scanning for their target when a familiar ping pupped into display. Dax smiled. Like most mandos he coveted the Effervescent. It was a first class ship killer, and the Burk treated the thing better then most men treat their wives.

"Open a channel" he commanded to the little droid. Who with only a click and spin of the port connection, opened and encrypted a frequency only used by mando strike teams. "You're a sight for sore eyes big dog. I've been floating here in low orbit for an hour now."

The scanning of Burkhart's ship continued, eventually picking up a single unmoving contact. A few moments later he heard a chirp as a line of communication was opened up. The Alor of clan Kelborn smiled a little a the familiar voice of Dax Rau. "Yeah sorry mate. Hopefully ya won't be bored outta yer mind here in a bit."

The two of them would be traveling to some farm house. There was something, or rather, someone they were after that was at that location. "This guy is a dangerous bastard alright?" Ee used ta be a bounty hunter too but didn't seem tah care about his quarry or those that got in the way of his payday.

The intel he had recieved indicated the ex bounty hunter they were after had fled to Serenno. Some Sith or Noble had died and left the property abandoned. The ex bounty hunter, not wanting to slum it with animals or the poor, was probably hiding out there. Little did Burkhart know that he had actually been one of the people to kill the Sith that had previously owned the property after that party on Nar Shaddaa celebrating the liberation of Hutt space from the Empire.

[Dax Rau (TL8)]

Dax brought his ship to life. Flipping switches and setting the throttle speed to match that of the clan Kelborn vessel. As he did so, he would receive the details of the location. Still shots fed into the HUD of his ship as A-7 plotted the location int the nav computers. The ol Overhead was not exactly a gunship but Dax had little choice now but to follow the the Pup's lead and set this old farm a plaze.

"All set over here, call the targets and I follow your lead here."

The flight would take a few moments for the two ships to travel there. Even with fast space ships, traversing to one side of the planet took some time. Burkhart was not in any rush to strain his ship's engines and he also had to keep the speed of Dax's vessel in mind. What was tolerable speed for the Effervescent was maximum overdrive for the Rau clan member. Plus if the two of them were bolting it to some farm house then they would probably attract local attention.

"So Dax, watcha been up ta ay?" As the flew along Burkhart pulled out a fresh cigara and stuck it in his lips. Lighting it, a thin whisp of smoke rose in the cockpit. He had recently installed a filter to specifically deal withh the smoke so that was credits well spent. For now there was no harm in sharing some small talk. Serenno was rather pretty to look at out of the cockpit.
