Keeping Tabs

[Nem'ro the Hutt]

Nem'ro's life had significantly improved since he took over Ryloth. The ire of the Sith Empress aside, his wealth and influence had increased significantly, as had his prestige on the Hutt Council of Families. He was now the master of the Hutt Clan on a single planet. A seemingly small start, but a big one in terms of his growing power in the Cartel. The Besadii kajidic now answered to him alone. But his eyes were now set on the biggest prize of them all: Supreme Mogul.

It would not be easy. The Sith Empress had her hands in everything. But his encounter with her had left a bad taste in his mouth. The Sith were valuable allies, but he wasn't about to become their sycophant. His assets were not an extension of their power. So he had waited patiently, biding his time on Ryloth, and kept his head down since the battle for the planet ended. The renovations for his new palace in Lessu were nearly complete. In the meantime, his former second-in-command had tipped him off to a potential valuable ally. A potential Sith ally.

So he summoned said Sith to his palace quietly. His audience had been dismissed for the day. Only he, his protocol droid, and a cadre of armed guards were present in the throne room. Criminals were notoriously untrustworthy and he couldn't risk a leak. He hoped he and this new Sith could reach a beneficial business arrangement for them both. If so, his criminal empire would have some insurance, and he could devote himself to more pressing matters: namely the Supreme Mogul and the Republic. @Foxfire

 

[Nasaug]

The Exiles reclaimed the Sith worlds for themselves and now were in the process of taking the title of Sith. Nasaug had never seen himself as either Jedi, exile nor sith. What he had need for was not a name or the fame that came with all that what he wanted was safety for himself and those under his charge. Halc Griemer had disappeared so Nasaug had figured the darkness of the force and stirred the little aleen to move again.

His new charge the twi'lek girl whom he took from the slave life was now safe on his ship a little ways from the fortress. Nasaug had made the deal with an odd being back in a slimy cantina. Looking at the outside of the fortress it seemed to have weathered most of the storms. Yet to Nasaug's sight the gleam of the weapon tech had shown him that the owner may be new with power and new money.

He never like being used but the Exiles, excuse me The Sith, had used him as well. So why not make a little money trading favors for all sides. His allegiance was not to anyone for none had wanted him and his skill. So why not make a little money to survive till he was truly wanted not just needed.

Reaching the main gates Nasaug found the door's coms and paged to be let in. Closing his eyes he let the force flow through him and let it again flow outward to search out the palace like place. He had been to many different fortress/palaces in his life so he kinda knew what to search out for and to sense out what dangers lurked beyond.

 

[Nem'ro the Hutt]

A pale-skinned Twi'lek male was there to meet the Sith at the entrance to the palace. He was Nem'ro's servant and majordomo, Ygor Fortuna, and he quickly recognized his master's guest. The wolf-like Sith had a ferocious appearance. The sickly-looking Twi'lek grinned with thin, sharp teeth. His master would be most pleased. He beckoened the Sith inside. "Come in, come in. The master is expecting you. I will take you to him."

The Twi'lek majordomo led the Sith into Nem'ro's inner sanctum, where the lord of Ryloth waited. He gestured for the Sith to stand in the audience chamber of the great Hutt lorda, then made to stand at his master's side. "It is my great honor to introduce you to my master, his Great Obesity, the Lord Nem'ro, lorda of the Besadii clan, Jedi Killer, King of the Twi'leks, and Warlord of Ryloth. His former right hand mentioned your name to him and his great lordship took an interest."

Nem'ro held up one grubby hand and silenced the Twi'lek. The Hutt lorda doubted the wolf-looking Sith spoke Huttese, so he would need to allow his majordomo to translate his words into Basic. He spoke loud, booming, and made his demands known. Then, Ygor began to enthusiastically translate. "My master has a proposal for you, Sith. But first, he bids you introduce yourself and state your intentions." @Foxfire

 

[Nasaug]

Nasaug waited calmly while the Hutt's keeper directed him to the throne room. The path was dark and quiet. Quieter than he thought a palace would be but he guessed that the Hutt Lord had excused all to conduct this business in secret. As he entered the throne room Nasaug found it cool and moist made perfect for a hutt.

Sniffing the air the shistavin could smell the various being that had been entertained within these walls. Through the force he could also tell very very few being were near-by, probably for the protection of the hutt. He turned his attention to the Twi'lek male as he spoke of the hutt's title which to Nasaug was a meaningless as the title Sith or Jedi for force users.

Listening to the hutt speak Nasaug could tell by the inflections that the hutt was still young-ish to the whole powers that be game. He could though sense from the force of the others around him and that were still in the palace that he was not one to be dismissed. Tilting his head to the left and exposing his neck he showed a Shistavin's way of bowing or submission. The tilt was not a very deep one. When asked the shistavin spoke in a rich deep tone.

Thine name is Nasaug. Yes I'm a force user and a former Jedi. As for my intentions... they are what they are, a job that pays.

Putting his massive paws on his hips he took a stance and spoke again.

A place of safety for my ward and my gear is also wanted. Loyalty is a quality I show and like to be shown. If we can come to an agreement then we have a deal.

Nasaug waited in silence for the Hutt Lord.
