Cy-botted: Intimidation Factor
Cybot Galactica's CEO could use a bit of a personal touch in being convinced to sell. His estate lies on Etti IV, in Corporate Sector space. Find him at night when he is home and intimidate him, and leave a good 'lasting impression on the man'. Feel free to rough him up, but do not kill him.

It was rather easy to charm one's way into someone's favor when said someone lacked the capacity to recognize subtle hints of manipulation even if they stared at them on the face. Granted, Hrist hadn't even resorted into using the Force yet but the man she was talking to didn't even bat an eyelash and began to talk about his employer when she sweetly asked where he worked.
She disliked being touched without her consent but she let the man’s hand linger on hers, up to her arm and bare shoulder, as he bragged about how certain he was at finally being made head of personal security for Cybot Galactica’s CEO one of these days. As the man grew progressively drunk he began to share more about his employer, including the latter’s assets and – she would've fought the urge to mentally roll her eyes if she didn't need any and all information about the target – vacation plans. Hrist was glad that she left Xeno in her ship, instructing the Acolyte to meditate or whatever he deemed crucial to his learning while she went out to gather intel, or else he would have murdered the CEO's employee for touching her. Knowing how charmed he seemed to be towards her, Hrist knew that it wouldn't be beneath Xeno to do exactly that. Now was not the time to make use of the violence he was capable of – at least not yet.
One dead guard later, his body left to be discovered in a dingy alleyway long after his unknown killer had departed, and the two Sith were off to their next destination. It would not take them long to track down the target who was staying in his estate on Etti IV – the combined influence and public data regarding the head of Cybot Galactica were more than enough for Master and Apprentice to formulate a plan on how to undertake the mission they accepted.
Jaskier Meridna's estate was, as expected, were being patrolled by guards who were armed with blaster rifles and stun batons. For someone who dealt with technology, Cybot's CEO seemed to rely more on organics rather than droids for his estate's security. They looked capable enough of securing any threats to their employer's safety, she could give them that, but they were not trained to combat Force-users. Hrist's eyes glowed red beneath the cover of her helmet as she reached out through the Force and tapped into two of the patrolling guards' minds. Met with no form of resistance she stepped out of the cover of the darkness and strode towards where the guards stood motionless, knowing that her student was following close behind. With a flick of her hand and a nudge to one of the guard's mind, the man pressed on the commlink to his ear to give his and his partner's report about their patrol area.
"Notus – south side – all clear. Requesting other patrol status, over."
"Euros, all clear."
"All clear, Boreas."
"Zephyros, all clear and ready to make a shift, over."
The female Sith's focus shifted on the other guard who pulled out a key card from his pocket. Turning away from his post, Hrist tipped her helmeted head in a gesture for Xeno to follow as they walked after the guard. The man swiped his key card on the panel on the door and it slid open with a hiss. Knowing that Xeno would follow still, the Marauder stepped inside the entrance to the estate's south wing, her grip in the guards' minds still present. She made the guard who opened the door for the two Sith to walk back to his post before relinquishing her control over them, the two guards blissfully blinking back into awareness and unheeding of the manipulation they have just been subjected into. Had Hrist not been adept with the display of power she would have already damaged the minds of the two men with her initial prodding to their mind with the use of the Force.
Now inside the target's estate, Hrist turned to Xeno and reminded him why they were here in the first place.
"Remember, dear: We're only here to intimidate the target, not kill him," she told the Acolyte. Xeno already knew that, he was with her when they received the mission from the Blackwell Tech client who wished to remain anonymous. But a little reminder wouldn't hurt anyone, would it?
Patting a gloved hand on his bare chest, she smiled wickedly up at him and offered in consolation, "But you're allowed to... rough him up. Feel free to join me with doling out threats, though. After all, we are here to leave a lasting impression that will haunt him even in his sleep."
