While many places in the outer rim are known for their inherent danger, their seedy underbellies infested with the maggots of crime, drugs and corruption Mon Cala was a far cry from that. Beautiful cities that hovered both over and under the surface of it's vast waters. The cities were beautiful little ecosystems and in certain places one could see beautiful mansions with curved and rounded architecture that took full advantage of the planets natural water features. It was truly a bubble of serene life that one would expect from the wealthy neighborhoods in the core worlds.

Except for one particular mansion. From the surface it looked just like any other but if one were to walk and take a close inspection of it the facade would fall apart. Bushes and hedges that reeked of piss, trampled flowers, pieces of clothing that floated about in the fountains. That was just the exterior. Inside the once beautiful arrangement of furniture was thrown about and torn apart, cabinets were destroyed, nice pristine white walls were tagged with all sorts of markings. Bottles upon bottles littered on the floor creating a massive tripping hazard and alcohol had stained enough rugs, flooring and other parts of the house to cake it in it's stench and turn parts of it into a minor fire hazard.

In the epicenter of this madness was the living room where two women lied there unconscious. Nearby them was a broken beer bottle covered with now dried blood, a dented copper colored arm from a 3P series droid, and for some inexplicable reason a metal toe. The two women were connected together by the wrist with a pair of durasteel hand cuffs. Particularly archaic in that they used a simple key to lock and unlock. The blacked hair woman clattered with piercings was one Sera Jex. Clothed in only her underwear and a loose fitting black t-shirt that read "FETH YOU YOU FETHING FETH" on the front.

Soon a minor stirring could be seen from her as her body slowly, agonizingly clawed it's way back to consciousness. Sera's head was throbbing and even the tiniest of movements was enough to worsen it by a hundred fold. A loud groan could be heard exiting her mouth. Slowly moving her arms and opening her eyes she would try to awaken. However her body had decided to register the normal lighting entering her retinas as blinding and she would feel resistance from her right arm... Like it was attached to something. Suddenly her mind started to wake up at what felt like warp speed however in reality it was merely the same amount of speed thanks to the raging hangover. Soon though it became apparent to her that she was handcuffed to Neri... What the kark happened... did they...

"Good at least one of you had the courtesy to wake up." Suddenly a voice came from behind Sera. The source being a female Quarren sitting on the stained couch behind them. The quarren had a thick sense of disgust layered into her voice as she looked on at the two assholes that trashed her home.

"Who are the feth are you and where are we?" A lazy slow half slurred response came from Sera.

"Vox. Lady Vox. That's what you'll address me as, and right now we are in my home... and we are all going to stay here till I figure out what you are going to do about the mess you left here and across half the bloody city you depraved perverts."

As Sera tried to reign in her memory and figure out what the hell happened last night her only memory was drinking at a bar with Neri. After that nothing. As Sera looked around at the interior of the mansion though only one singular thought was echoing inside her mind.

What the kriif did she do last night​

The other woman, cuffed to Sera, stirred awake the moment something forcibly moved her left arm. "The hell..." she muttered, as she slowly opened her eyes to register what had moved her arm. She always had been a light sleeper, which had saved her on multiple occasions. This time around, however, she lacked her usual sharp mind. Apparently she had traded it for the worst headache she had ever felt, complete with stomach pain, fatigue and excessive thirst. The Bespinian pilot didn't want to admit it at first, but as soon as she noticed the handcuffs and the scantily clad woman beside her, she knew for sure that she had a hangover.

With no recollection of last night's activities, Neriya scanned the room around her, her eyes finally settling on the woman with the piercings. "Well this is a rather fine sight to wake up to." Neri stated with a sly smile, taking her time to look Sera up and down, before she turned her attention to the Quarren in the room. Well, attention... The pilot had trouble concentrating, both because of her hangover and simply because she didn't care. "Fox you said?..." Neri began, with the clear intention to piss their new friend off. "First of all, I've got no recollection as to how I got here. Can't blame me. Secondly, I am not a depraved pervert." she stated, knowing full well that, like Sera, she wore nothing more than her underwear and a green tank top. "Now we're on the subject of getting here, do you know what happened last night?" she asked with a sheepish smile, glancing at Sera to see how her buddy was doing. The Bespinian pilot had survived quite a few troublesome situations in the past, but a hangover like this? Well that was new, and definitely not worth repeating.

Adjusting her tank top a little, Neri continued. "Once you got this figured out, give me a call love." With a lot of effort Neri made an attempt to get up. "I think I'm going to find some pants first..." she mumbled, right before she realized how destructive the pair had apparently been. "Say, we cannot be responsible for this on our own, can we?" she directed her question to Sera, hoping that she remembered something from last night. Judging from the damage, there had to be way more people involved than just them. Did they perhaps invite people over to this stranger's house? Unsure of where to look for her pants, Neri scratched the back of her head. "This must've been some party..."

Cool silk sheets against her legs.

The warmth of a true bed, not a narrow cot. Low, soft music... she slowly opened her eyes to the most beautiful hotel room she ever laid eyes on... and blinked once, then twice. This was not the room she reserved... but there was another sound. Padding feet, someone humming...

She tensed, when the door opened, revealing a slim Pantoran woman wearing nothing but an oversized button up, her eyes gleaming with a grin.
"Awake, I see. Good... when you came by drunk as could be, I wondered if you ever would wake up." She chuckled, leaning over to give Ilana a kiss, and Ilana closed the distance, breaking away when she heard something. A knock.

"Therese," she greeted coolly, pulling herself upright. "Someone at the door?"

The younger woman gave a moue of disappointment, sighing as she pulled away.
"I guess you're right, Ily..." she muttered, running a hand through her hair and snagging on a robe that hung in the doorway. "Hang on, I'll get rid of them."

She didn't wait for the girl to get back; she had found her shirt and slacks from the night before, tugging her coat over and smoothing the creases when elevated voices came from the doorway. A Human male muscled in, eyeing the Doctor as she gave one last perfunctory tug to her uniform.

Not a stray hair out of place, or a shirt wrinkle seen. All good.

"Doctor Morata?" he asked calmly, as Therese stood behind him, blue cheeks flushed almost violet. "I'm afraid you'll have to come with me, we need your assistance right this minute for a crime on Mon Cala."

She sighed, wishing to will away the nausea. What a pain...

"Lead the way, officer," she sighed again, walking past both of them with a tall-legged stride. "Later," she rasped to Therese, and was grateful to not have a response in return. Therese knew the woman shied away from clinginess... hopefully this new patient... patients...? of hers could distract her enough from her mild hangover to get her to being perfectly functional again.

Sera reflexively gave a small jab into Neri's side in response to her rather... implication fueled comment. As right now she had barely the mental faculties to say "Now is not the time". A small bit of heat clouding her cheeks. Still her brain was aching and the words not directed at her were more like a hazy scratches in the gooey haze of her mind. Soon after she felt her hand get dragged up as Neri proceeded to attempt to get up. Realizing that she should probably get up as she pushed herself up with her freehand and then tried to get her legs to propel her up. However her head was screaming at her for having the sheer audacity for trying to get up, this combined with her shaking legs caused her to fall forward and smash her face into the floor. A moan exiting Sera's mouth and a part of her just wanted to travel back in time so she could beat herself senseless for the self inflicted inebriation.

Still Oddly enough that seemed to snap her closer into reality as she saw the broken bottle and the... toe. Sparks of familiarity were trying desperate to ignite her mis-firing memories of last night but to no avail. Still Realizing that whatever she was up to last night was some pretty heavy stuff. Her attention though would finally focus on the pissed off Quarren though as she took in view her eyes were becoming more and more unsettled by the sight. Seeing that Vox was fairly well dressed as she noted just how well fitted her blouse, blazer and slacks were suggesting they were tailored. The quarren's face however had a light scar running up the right side of her face along noticing that one of the tentacles on her face was noticeably shorter most likely being cut short. Who's house did they just trash exactly? A smirk followed with a condescending "hmph" would emerge from Vox.

"I'm going to put everything your cuddle buddy said to the hangover. I would just love to know what happened last night but I can't say. All I know is that this morning I got back from my business trip in Zygeria to my home trashed and more missed messages than a Zeltron trying to hit on a droid.

If there was one word that always got Sera's attention it was Zygeria and with it's utterance her eyes widened in fear of what that meant and unfortunately the Quarren caught on to Sera's reaction.

"I see you understand what that means." An almost playful tone now emerging from Vox. "And hon, you might think you have smart mouth, but that mouth will dry up real quick once you realize who you're dealing with.

With that veiled threat uttered would come a knocking at the door. Which caused the quarren to get up from her ruined couch. Quickly walking over to the front door Sera and Neri would be able to make out the sound of the door opening followed by the words "Officer"

Sera's reaction to her jest made the pilot chuckle. There was nothing more she had to say about the subject, perhaps now was not the time, but the handcuffs spoke volumes. Neri waited for Sera to get up, although the black-haired woman needed a lot more effort to accomplish that feat than she did. What made it even more difficult, was the fact that she instantly collapsed, unintentionally dragging Neri down with her. Landing had on her knees, Neri would curse under her breath. Getting out of here wasn't going to be easy.

Neri frowned as Vox ignored most of what she said. Usually she was the one who ignored what others had to say. But what goes around comes around, or so it seemed like. "Business trip in Zygeria? You're a slave trader?" Neri asked in disbelief. It wasn't unusual for Quarren to be involved in illegal activities, but one with a house like this on Mon Cala? That was unexpected.

For a moment the Bespinian pilot considered to bluff her way out of this. Mention her former employer, and the fact that she was after her. The Red Lady had influence and henchmen in every sector she had visited so far; no doubt that the Quarren would know her name. If she could use it to prevent being sold into slavery, she sure as hell would.

"Come in!" Neri shouted, the moment Vox opened the door and greeted the officer. Despite the actual danger they were in, Neri couldn't let a chance to annoy the Quarren slip.

When the shuttle arrived to the destined 'mansion', she briefly considered turning back around and burying her face back into some luxury pillows. But the officer merely shook his head. She gave a resigned sigh... and picked up her black bag.

"House calls should be a thing of antiquity..." she muttered under her breath, and he snorted, waving her on.

The stench made her eyes water, and she had to cover her mouth and nose with a hand. How was he not crippled with the smell of it all? She could feel whatever little contents in her stomach roil in retaliation with her self-control, and she swallowed it back. Dimly there were memories flickering through her brain, but she wasn't certain if any of them were real.

She stepped through, head held high. She regarded the Quarren coolly, eyeing the scar and shortened tendril for only a moment. Her gaze was cold, clinical before dismissing her.

It wasn't hard to find the source of the noise. Amongst the destruction of all the wealth, she saw that two women handcuffed together were supposedly the source of such destruction... but...

It didn't add up.

"Are these my patients?" she rasped, turning to stare at the well-dressed Quarren, one white brow raised coolly. Surely that wasn't all... the sheer amount of destruction didn't add up. And if the smell was any indication... they likely were as drunk and hungover as the Doctor herself felt. And she was hardly in any mood to pander to any fancy snooty lady about anything involving manners.

Sera's mind was ablaze with that word Zygerria. Unsure if the Quarren was serious or not she had to wonder. Still the memory of the last time she was on that dreaded planet burning back to her. Did she know? Was she there for that, was she going to bring her back? More and more questions in her mind each only bringing more questions. Sera's mind was beginning to panic and that all got compounded with the people that the Quarren let in. A cop and... someone else. What were they doing her?

Then a high pitched ringing and a screaming headache started to slam back into Sera's head as all she could do was grip the top of her forehead. Then a familiar deep bass note ushered in the silence again as all sound seemed to fade away again. Missing the entire contents of whatever conversation the Quarren and the police officer were having Sera merely saw them briefly step out and have a private conversation. Meanwhile her gaze then shifted back the Woman. White hair amber eyes and an unsettling energy. Still something told her they met recently, but her brainfog was prevent her from realizing how. Then one thought came to her mind, she was her to identify them, that would be why she was with the officer. She couldn't trust her, the quarren or anyone other than Neri right now.

Just kill them all. A little whisper creeping into the front of her mind. Sera's stomach was now plummeting downward. Why now?

They could be ratting you out right now. They need to be stopped.

Sera considered it and looked down at the broken bottle thoughts clouding her mind and her hand reaching out towards a slight twitch now among her fingers.

“Sadly, yes. These two pathetic figures are your patients.” She made no attempt to hide her disgust for the female duo, a notable detail that made Neri grin. “I would like a full medical evaluation of these two women.” Vox spoke with an authoritative tone, making sure that Ilana knew what the client expected. “Now if you would excuse me, I have to arrange a couple of things and I would rather not waste my time here.” With that remark, the Quarren left the once luxurious living room, followed by the police officer.

The Bespinian pilot glanced at the doctor with her head slightly tilted. Rarely did she have a hard time reading a person, but she just didn’t know what to expect from this woman. “So… the name’s Neriya Dahle. And this here is Sera. I kinda forgot her last name...” she scratched the back of her head and gave the doc a sheepish smile. She knew Sera’s last name but acting dumb or forgetful now could help her out later. She wasn’t about to lay her cards on the table just like that. No, she was going to need every advantage she could get, if she wanted to get out of this situation; with or without Sera.

“Say, are you really just gonna follow the Quarren’s orders just like that? Did she even specify what you were gonna get paid for this? Cause this job might not be as easy as it seems.”
