Hypori was another planet that the greater galaxy would have liked to forget about. Especially it's slum city, Paradise. Or as most of it's residents call it, Purgatory. A muck covered vomit inducing steaming piles of slag. Years ago is was supposed to be the shiny example of some lessor syndicate's attempt show of power, or something. Instead, it's leaders were killed or sent into hiding. The poodoo quickly flowed after that.

In the spaceport that reminded him of a more run down Mos Espa, Jett was coordinating the offload of cargo from The Oath. A ship load of expired foodstuffs. The Orcolan's take for this job, hardly enough to cover the maintenance on the old dynamic class freighter. But it was another job around Hutt space, another chance to search for her.

When the cargo was finally gone. Jett took his few credits, grabbed his vest and his gun belt as set off into the city. He needed a drink, a quick job, and with any luck a lead on a pit fight promoter named Horo.

Death Disabled, Open to one or two others. Just an easy going thread to get some muse flowing.

Faen still couldn't sleep well at night. That damned artifact still reached out to him from lightyears away. The Jedi Order had finally pissed him off. They told him he was letting it reach- Faen had been trying to get rid of it's presence in his mind but nothing worked. The Ring wanted it's Master. The Jedi could go fuck themselves and their willpower-seminars. Faen was attached at the hip with the Ring whether he wanted it or not.

But, what the Ex-Knight found to be rather therapeutic was the thrill of hunting down other Lightless bastards. Faen was trying to establish himself as a mercenary by the name of Wu-Ming, which literally translated to 'Nameless'. It was hard hunting down Sith, so if another job arose that Faen thought could use his skill set, he'd take it. Anything to get his mind off the Order and his Ring.

So, currently, the Once-Jedi found himself in a bar at a table by himself, awaiting for... He didn't even know anymore. Something to spark his interest. Something to get him off his feet. Something that could get him a few extra credits so he could refill his U-Wing's tank up. Out a nearby window, Faen could see all the bustling Hypori citizens and scum alike, hoping that maybe someone interesting would enter the bar and give his spirits a stir. Occasionally, he'd check his dataphone for any new leads on any Dark-Siders in the Outer Rim- or hell, any scumbag stirring up trouble.

Jett was not the biggest of his fellow clansmen but he was a head above the average humanoid and fifty to seventy pounds more in size, most of it muscle. To that end, he enjoyed the fact the his size and appearance seemed to part the sea of locals humming about the market area, like little bees. The reaction was nothing new to the Orcolan. Though to his mind, a squid faced Quarren was look more vile then his tusks.

Ignoring the crowd, Jett eventually made his way to the other side of the marked. Past ship parts vendors, gun brokers, street food carts, and numerous other tiny pop up shops. Until he found we it was he was looking for. A Cantina. "Paradise Cove." the broken neon sign read. Teal'c simply huffed.

Pushing in the door, the Orcolan made his way past the handful of tables. Bellying up to the bar, which seemed to be made out of the hammered flat section of hull from a large ship. Possibly a freighter or corvette. Flagging down a cute looking purple skinned Twi'lek, the orc asked for a pitcher of beer. When it arrived, he took it in his hand like a mug. Teal'c downed half the first three gulps. Then took stock of his work and the room around him.

Now we were talking. Just as Faen was about to leave, a hefty fella with a bucket o' beer. Subtly, he stole a seat next to the Orc. Just far enough away to make it appear as if it wasn't intentional. He kept the helmet on, just in case as always, but judging by the look of the rest of the cantina compatriots, it probably wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Maybe that was one of the perks of hiding out on a backwater world like Hypori.

"You lookin' for something?" Faen's voice modulator was still on, giving his voice a deep robotic baritone. The Force gave the Once-Jedi a feeling that this big guy was in fact looking for something. "It ain't trouble... No, it's gotta be...a ship? Mmm, maybe..." Faen couldn't help going into Jedi Seer Mode. "Maybe it's...a someone. Hooker steal more than what you paid for?" Hopefully that would break the ice. Faen didn't want to rub this guy the wrong way. "I think she was something more. Wasn't she?" Almost immediately, Faen began to think of Sybella before shoving those longing thoughts away.

"Name your price. I'm a reasonable guy."

Seeing nothing the really interested him, Jett returned his attention to the drink in hand. Finishing the "glass" in another two gulps. With a nod and a "come here" curl of the finger. He called back his bar maid and kindly requested another. The Twi'lek gave him a polite half smile and took the pitcher to be refilled.

As she returned with his drink, Jett slid the woman a twenty and a half smile back. However, before he could take a sip of the fresh cold beverage. The hairs on his neck stood and he could feel a sense of eyes on him. Cocking his head he could see the helmeted figure suddenly appear at the other end of the table.

Then it spoke. "Hmmff" Jett grumbled. He wasn't in the mood for a conman. Usually the grumble was enough, but this stranger wasn't getting the hint. He couldn't see the man's eyes behind the mask, but he knew the look. The cock of the head as he the man tried to pry into the Orc's head. "Guclu" Jett said spitefully in T'Orcish.

"Why would I need the help of a force witch." He spat back, returning to basic. Then took a drink from his mug. As a whole, Orcolans were ok with force users. Jett himself was not a fan. Mostly because he did not have such a powers and that left him at a disadvantage, which felt like weakness. Orc as a whole HATED the felling of weakness.

When it became apparent that Jett wasn't interested, Faen leaned forward in his chair, no longer looking at the Orcolan. Dang it. Maybe he pried a little too much. Or maybe the Orc needed a bit more motivation. Whoever he was after, this Guclu, meant a lot more to him than just a lover. In fact, Faen believed it wasn't a lover at all.

"No Force needed to see the distrust in your eyes." Then, Faen stood up from the bar. "I ain't no witch either. I hunt 'em." With a pause, Faen looked over his shoulder, back at Jett. "Your ma'? What about a cousin? Maybe a sister? How long she been gone? We ain't got all day." This was a gesture of an accord. Would Jett lay back and waste his time flirting with baristas or would he get after what he wanted?

"Neither does she." There plenty of other jobs out there for Faen. He didn't need this one, but...the Jedi in him wanted to fix whatever happened. The Seer in him wanted Jett to know that this wasn't the end of the world. This seemed a little better than hunting Dark Siders anyway. Finding lost loved ones was something Faen understood deeply. There still a few more brothers out there amongst the stars, and Faen had only found one. It was a terrible discovery, but at least he got the closure he needed. Did I? I killed him... I had no choice... I have a choice now.
