Monstrous Betrayal

[Nor'baal]

NAL HUTTA
​

Speeding across the wastes of the Hutt home-world from the main port in Jiguuna, Nor'baal Vesajilic was in a state of panic as he headed to his residence on Nal Hutta, looking out of the viewport of the Vesajilic Sail Barge, to which he had invited the envoy of Addipos the Hutt. His home, what he liked to call a Palace, was far from luxurious, consisting of three towers, one of which stood apart from the other two, and was simply slave quarters and generators, with the main tower, connected via bridge to the final one, consisting of a roof landing pad, a couple of floors of rooms, and then several floors of storage from the ground up. The third, and smallest tower, sporting a bridge connection to the main one, was little more than a Shvash Refinery, and its emissions caused the entire building to be stained with smog, and the land around it to be pitted with puddles of waste.

To a non-Hutt, it looked vile, to Nor'baal and his fellow sluggish special members, it was perfect. However, the asthetics of this venue where far from the Hutts mind as he sped over the land leading to the Towers, watching as his majordomo, Mar Kreeta - seeing the arrival of his master - stopped shouting at a loader droid and headed up the floors to the landing pad. The Hutt briefly whinced as the loader droid dropped its crate, but was quickly distracted by the vessel touching down. Running slightly, Mar approached the Hutt, offering him a Data-Pad and happily announcing.

''Happy Landings Sir, and good news! Glad to report Shvash prices are up, and our Kessel training program is underway, alongside your cut from local gang activity being stable.'' chirped the smuggler, before falling silent as the Hutt pushed past him, ignoring the pad. Something was wrong, and Mar new it.

<Quit your yapping. We have a Guest, Zane, arriving soon. Get some food up, and then wait here for him to arrive. I don't want to be disturbed until the meeting is over.> he snarled, before heading to his chamber.

A large round metallic table dominated the office of the Hutt, and Nor'baal approached it, plugging in the data-pad he had used in the KES deal, instantly projected the assets of the KES - which now belonged to him - as well as the signed deal between the Vesajilics and the KES. The Keyworks failure to arrive at Nal Hutta, plus the sudden absence of Prudii Kyramund from his staff had set alarm bells ringing, the KES where not here, they had backed out. His hands formed into fists, and he shook slightly.

Betrayal....he thought to himself. The room was silent, save for the whirring of the computers, and the echoing thuds of the loader droids downstairs, as Nor'baal awaited Zanes arrival.
