The body of the injured Zabrak dragged behind the Commando droid. The binders were tightly affixed to the wounded target's wrists. It was from the space between the wrists that N4-X4 dragged the zabrak. The smoking hole on the front of the organic's chest would have maybe bothered a non-droid but the bounty hunting automaton was unphased.

Just a meter behind Naxa was another droid. A small saucer shaped ID-21 seeker droid. Two manipulators protruded, poised like mantis legs with two shock prods that made occasional test shocks in the air until the bounty hunter droid stopped outside the ship. He had requested medical aid for the organic's sake. He was a target and worth considerably more alive.

"Doctor Morata. This is N4-X4. I have a patient that is in need of your medical skillset." The vocabulator of the droid was deeper than B1 battle droids. The Arkanaian woman would likely see the elctrostaff along the droid's back as well as the rest of his attire since he was not concealing himself like he did on occasion. Nar Shaddaa was not calculated to be a place that would be bothered by a battle droid for law abiding sake so long as he did not travel to the more 'civilized' parts of the planet. The zabrak coughed a little. Thankfully the blastvest the horned man had been wearing was what likely saved his life. Even then, their two hearts forced Naxa to follow up with some stun shocks.

She'd been enjoying a day off.

It was an actual, full day to herself. A rarity in such extremes, that she was using every spare minute of it to be completely at ease. She had the greasiest noodles delivered to her ship, the worst drama holoflicks on continual play, and a long day of sleeping with ice cream in the tiny fridge of her ship's kitchenette waiting for the nighttime to be devoured. Or, a Coruscanti-timed nighttime.

A vocabulator pinging her ship's comms made her grind her teeth in thinly veiled frustration, shutting off the holo display. She was dressed in a thin, light synthweave black dress and a kimono robe, but sighed as she pulled on her professional armored coat, opening up the bottom access hatch for the droid to enter.

Seeing the hole to the chest, however, she raised a white brow, staring at the droid for a beat.
"You plan on actually letting him live, or just like airing him out a little with an extra hole?" she replied, waving them in calmly. "Better hurry, he doesn't look too good in health. At this hour, no less, you're fortunate enough that I was awake."

She hardly seemed to care the patient was in pain; her first business was prepping them for a proper recovery, pain management was part of the procedure.
"Bring them in, and towards the cargo bay. I'll have a look."

The droid looked at the woman when she made her appearance. "That would not be an effe-" He stopped after she continued to since it was became clear the question was rhetorical.

N4-X4 followed the Arkanian into her ship and laid his wounded target down when they got to the medical table. "I am knowledgeable in organic anatomy of several hundred species. I can be of assistance if required." The droid's deep vocabulator said flatly. The reason for the automaton being given this information was fairly straight forward. Knowing the biology of his targets and those he might be hired to guard paid off. "A zabrak typically has two hearts and have a higher than average pain threshhold. I advise caution when attending to his injuries." The droid would take a step back if she was fine administering aid alone. The droid could have though its specialty was disassembly and the neutralizing of difficult targets. Though N4-X4 also had bodyguard programming both for the purposes of its former master's cover and also to better guard valuable assets.

Letting the droid ramble on about Zabraks would have been entertaining, if she were the sort to be entertained by being lectured on what she already knew. Simple shot to the chest, patient was relatively unconscious but stable. "Keep him immobilized for now," she replied simply, prepping a hypo for a dial-up of painkillers. Just because they had a high pain tolerance didn't mean she was going to torture the man.

He let out a groan at the stick to his throat, followed up by a tranq suited by his weight, dictated on the built-in scale in the patient chair, and his height, estimated.

"Just the one shot?" she rasped, glancing over to Naxa assessingly. "How much voltage you use to keep him a cooperative captive?"

The droid looked more centered on the zabrak for a moment. "Roger roger" The droid replied and did as the Doctor requested. N4-X4 cataloged the surrounding room to its memory. He watched the eye movement of the doctor as she administered the tranq. The droid released the Zabrak afterwards.

"Affirmative." The droid answered. +Present yourself+ The droid said in Binary to the seeker droid. The creature gave a current approximation with battery life and assessment of needed voltage in a small hologram projection. The commando droid did not mind sharing the information. The shock prods could be altered since stunning wookiee was going to be different than shocking a jawa unless you liked electrified robed rodents. "Are you a clone?" He asked straightforward to the woman as she looked at the information.

She had leaned over the unconscious mark, beginning to move aside clothing where the blaster bolt had hit. He was wearing a blast vest, thank goodness, but there was a burn to the chest. Bacta, basic application, nothing too complex. Surprising he would bring in a mark that needed that didn't need serious care.

At his question, though, she looked up. Amber eyes stared at the droid, unblinking, before she finally responded, her voice a low rasp.

"What do you mean?"

"Arkanians are known for their cloning capabilities. They have made alterations to their own populace and added clones and their offspring to their number over time. You have a medical profession here but that is not the only skill set you could have. I am curious if you are a fabricated organic or a possible fabricator." The droid spoke plainly while watching the Doctor take care of her patient.

The small ID-21 seeker droid flew back over to his shoulder and the BX commando droid switched out its battery back. It's numerous small photoreceptors blinked back to life and the legs pushed off for the repulsor to engage again.

Some droids were known for their directness; perhaps it wished to make her uneasy, contemplating her own genetics, but she merely shrugged, finishing up her initial treatment of the bacta wound. "As far as I know, I am not a fabricated organic," she replied coolly, beginning the bandage process easily.

"As far as I am aware, I am Arkanian with altered genes," she continued somewhat stiffly, then flicking her gaze back up to the droid. "Your programming; how much do you know of genetic modding?"

The droid listened patiently. "Limited. I have learned only what is needed for a boost in combat efficiency." The data the droid's brain had on clones was limited and restricted only the massed produced type. Post-fertilized-genetic modification was not something that was within N4-X4's expanded protocols either. The droid could ' learn' but then if it had its memory wiped again it would lose that knowledge too.

"My model was employed by the Confederation of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars to fight the Grand Army of the Republic. It is the original purpose my design was created and produced. Curious." Unlike the human, the droid did not need to blink. As it spoke it just continued to stare ahead. N4-X4 made a querry for any information he had on CIS but it came back with nothing. Focusing on the Zabrak, the commando droid knew that the bounty's life would continue past his delivery.

She finished up within record time, careful to make sure the bandage would stay on. "Rumor on the mill is some targets might be genetically modified to resist bounties. Suggestion is to up the amps on your stuns, at least from a physician's point of view."

She shucked off her gloves, then began to sterilize. No point in not doing it as a precaution anyways.
"Beyond bounty hunting, do you seek alternative, perhaps more lucrative, employment?" Not that it would matter, he wasn't an organic. What would credit affect for his judgement?

The Commando droid's plain photoreceptors turned to look back at the Zabrak with its own assessment. She had originally seemed concerned for the bounty's well being when it came to being shocked and stunned but now she advised increased force. No, she was repeating the so-called rumor. That was all. "You are notably effective Doctor." He complimented in regards to both her work and observations.

After Ilana was done N4-X4 made sure the Zabrak was still secure and stepped a few feet from him. "Bounty Hunting is an efficient use of a single individuals time if success is achieved. Most organics have limited analytical capabilities and rely a great deal on 'trust' to sooth their fears. Are you offering to hire me Doctor, I will accept if the operational risk management parameters are met."The shortened battle droid head of the BX line gave a slight nod as if to try and give some encouraging inflection. The droid would at least hear out an offer and know the droid was willing to work for the right price.

She nodded once to the droid's praise, content as it was to accept it and continue on. She was simply a glorified field medic by this point rather than an actual doctor; such a practice could lead to monetary gains, but she didn't go through eight years of medical school and residency to patch blaster burns and vibroknife wounds.

Amber gaze settled on the droid, she realized it was still talking. Listening with a tilted head and an observant eye, she nodded once more, humming.
"I have nothing to offer--- yet. However, in the next few weeks that will change very soon. If you have a commlink line I can call you for, to offer a position that earns more credits, could I have that line number?" Features remained as impassive as ever, golden eyes still and assessing. "Given that operational risk management parameters are met."

To quote back the thinking robot.

The droid looked plainly as it listened before nodding. "I can provide my contact information. I cannot guarantee my availability but you are welcome to leave a message," N4-X4 said. If the commando droid was on a hunt during the time of the call it might have to get back to the Doctor at a later time but it was something to deal with later when it came up.

"What is your rate for the medical services?" He asked as well, gesturing towards the Zabrak who was still unconcious on the table. The droid had a bank account information and could transfer it here by making a call or accessing a holo-net terminal. "I will be taking my target to my client soon. Is there anything else that is called for in this interaction?"

She nodded once as well, scrubbing off her hands once more. You could never be too careful, in a galaxy where even a small splinter left too long could give you a nasty disease. Ilana knew better than that these days. The number and volume of patients hammered many lessons home.

"My medical rate?" she queried, then hummed. "I pay a base charge of twenty credits per hour; including medical equipment used, it's thirty." A steep price, but still much cheaper than the other 'professionals' out there that would charge them literally an arm and a leg for a bandage and some cough medicine.

"There is nothing, no,"
she replied, shaking her head once. "Apart from the request to call me in person before arrival so I may clear my patient schedule." She handed the droid a holo card; the design was simple, almost elegant, with her name neatly printed. "Make sure to designate any known wounds and complications, so I may treat in due time."

The droid nodded and seemed to stand still for a moment. To the Doctor it would seem like the droid wasn't doing anything. But its built in commlink sent a message with proper access and identity verification to the Droid's bank. "Your payment should be in your bank account" He said simply. If she wanted to check her account she would see the appropriate payment there.

Without the need to eat food, use life-support or even sleep, the spending of the Droid's wealth was still calculated when compared to other bounty hunters. All N4-X4 needed was power, ammunition, and intelligence. The droid was quite literally a war machine. But it enabled the droid to utilize more than just physical prowess and force to achieve its goals in some cases.

"I will do my best." the BX commando droid said as it took the holo card. Without saying anything else it began to move the zabrak off the table and headed off the ship. It wasn't long before the droid was gone to cache in on more credits.
