Getting the Supplies Back

[James Logan]

James found himself in a bar, waiting for his friend and partner, Allard. It has been a long time since he saw his buddy Allard. James ordered a whiskey with his left arm, and sat down. He looked around, and saw some people staring at him. James was shamed, he knew he had his arm cut off by that bastard Nem'ro the Hutt.

The reason of Allard's visit was to give James his spoils of the theft of the military base. It had been a close call, but they made it through. Now James would be receiving his SLR, and armor. The SLR was useless to him since he only had one arm. The armor would help though.

Allard had been a little bit surprised to get the call at all if he was being honest with himself.

James had given him both shares of the armour and the guns to make sure they were safely stored, saying he had stuff to do and that he would be back to collect them later. He hadn't questioned it himself and had made sure that his own haul of armour was given to the Guild and his own SLR was given to Daesha as a gift - because he had really wanted to see her face light up when he gave her a heavy machine blaster surrounded in roses - but he'd made sure to keep a hold of James' weapon.

The armour he had left on his ship not too far away, crated up and ready to be collected, but Allard had the SLR-34 in a case with him so that he could hand it over to James immediately.

Upon arriving at the bar, Allard caught sight of James and he immediately knew why the man had been delayed in contacting him... what the hells had happened there? Settling himself down at the bar on James' left side, he set the case down on the bar, unzipping it and opening it just long enough for James to see that it had the SLR inside before closing it again.

It was restricted after all.

Ordering a whisky of his own, he glanced at the younger man,

"I... well you're probably going to have heard this a lot but what happened, James?" he asked quietly, "You went silent for awhile and then when we meet up your down an arm?"

There was a story there.

James saw his buddy enter the bar, holding a large bag. James waved Allard over to his table. Allard arrived and sat at the table. He ordered a whiskey, just like James, and unzipped the bag, showing it's contents to James. Inside was James's SLR, his only possession as of now. Allard closed it, and spoke. James listened, and said,

"It was crazy man! You know how i'm part of the Hutt Cartel? I was fed up with the Cartel, and one day I just snapped. You know that new Vigo, Nem'ro the Hutt? Anyways, i said some bad things about him, and the next thing you know, i'm on his hit list. So I see the bounty, and try to lay low. I went to my usual bar, and saw two figures that were from the Cartel. They walked up to me, and stunned me. They brought me to Nem'ro's palace, and he had this freakish creature cut my arm off. Then they left me stranded on a desert on Ryloth. I got a couple of friends to come rescue me. Man it was terrible. Now I'm here. Thanks for showing up man, I technically am still part of the Cartel, but i'm thinking of leaving. You running that free trade guild? If you need another smuggler, I could help. Don't know how much use i am with one arm. I am going to see if i could cut above my arm, and get a prosthetic. Thanks again for coming, I owe you big.

James was over joyed that his friend had come.

OCC: I'm gonna have James switch to Independent, and have him join your faction...Think that's ok?

 

[Allard Keever]

Sitting down, Allard would admit that he was a little bit surprised that James was still up and about after what he had just explained but hey, sometimes there was things that happened that you just couldn't get your head around. Sometimes bad kriff just happened and while he wouldn't defend James' decision to talk bad about a Hutt in Hutt Space, he would admit that he didn't think his friend deserved to lose an arm over it.

"Well... sounds like you need more than just whisky." he admitted with a light chuckle before shaking his head, "Well don't worry my friend - you've still got your gun and I've got your armour waiting at the dock with my ship. They should help you get back on your feet if you know what I mean."

He gestured to the right side of his friend,

"Should just be a case of cutting more off and reaching nerves that aren't dead." he admitted with a small shrug, "I think there are some guys around here that work with that kind of stuff too. As for the Guild..."

Allard smiled,

"It's getting off the ground." he admitted happily, "You get yourself a new arm sourced and I'll speak to the Guild-mistress while you do. By the time you've gotten yourself a shiny new appendage we should have an answer for you my friend - afraid I can't just invite whoever I want."

Asked the captain what they think as they're in charge man - waiting for response

 

[James Logan]

James nodded, "Yep, that gun and armor might come in handy if I need it. As for the arm, I got some credits left over, might be able to find a doctor who could fix it." James took a swig from his cup. "Got it, I'll get my hand fixed up, and when that happened, I'll call you, I think I still have your number. Well thanks again for bringing my stuff, lets go over to the ship to get the armor."

Got it, while we wait for the captain's answer, I'll get my arm fixed.

 

[Allard Keever]

Yeah considering the guy had managed to lose an arm, Allard was convinced that he might very well need some of the heavier armour that they had managed to snag during the heist. He nodded a little bit as he typed out a test message and sent it over to Daesha.

Might as well try and get the answer sooner rather than later, right?

“Yeah come on, space port is this way.” He gestured before leading James out of the bar and towards the space port, “You know you’ll need to leave the Cartel right, to join up? We’ve got no problems with waiting but it might cause heat if you get a bounty or something.”

As they arrived at his ship, he patted the crates that had been unloaded already,

“Here we go my friend.” He told James with a grin before checking the message from Daesha, “And… it seems like you might be in my friend! Only conditions? Get your Cartel hang up taken care of and get yourself a new arm. Once you got those, you’ll be a member of the Free Trade Guild.”

[James Logan]

James followed Allard to the docking bay, and saw Allard's ship. Walking up to the crates, James felt the crates, and looked inside, glancing at the SLR. "Thanks again, I'll get that arm fixed, and do the situation with the Cartel. Hope your number's the same, I'll contact you when everything is done. Thanks again, and hope to see you soon."

James packed up the crates, and walked away, the crates in his new ship.
