Nar Shaddaa,
Yirim's Penthouse
Yirim's Penthouse
"How can you trust the people who respond to your job posting? I mean I don't trust anyone, but that's me. Just look at the roster though! One's a common criminal from the Cartel, underwhelming. One is a Force adept under what you believe to be a false name, that alone is extremely annoying. And the other we know more about thanks to the calamity on Shadowfax. She may be the worst one of the entire sorry lot; impulsive, reckless, often leaves a trail of destruction...I like her! But still, not exactly the cream of the proverbial crop. I don't like that they are going to be so close to this phase." Said a shadowy holofigure in the large penthouse, high above Nar Shaddaa.
"So sorry you're uncomfortable a few systems away in a palace," said Yirim with a dull look as he spoke to the two holographic figures in the middle of the room. "But her heart is more like his. She's not at balance but she is not our concern. None of our concern."
The pale Echani said this with a pointed look at the other figure who shrugged nonchalantly. Both of the figures were wearing strange ceremonial robes and masks that concealed their identities even though their transmissions were quadruple encrypted. Anyone could be listening. The other figure who had not spoken yet, simply shrugging until know, spoke. "Alright, alright. Calm down there. I can't help it! Well not the second time anyways. Sometimes things just happen and I have to act quickly so I'm not caught reacting."
"The past notwithstanding and moving back to your original inquiry. The fact is I don't have much choice. I have yet to fully establish myself though it is happening significantly faster than planned. My body is still weak so for now we will play the game we always have. They're just the types I need; a perfect cover group. It will look like a simple treasure hunt. They can keep the trinkets and I will get the prize we require for next part of our plan." Yirim crouched on his couch and bit his thumbnail absentmindedly. He had thoroughly studied the three coming to assist him in this endeavor and was not in the slightest worried about them. He found them lacking in some areas. But areas that proved useful.
It would be easy to manipulate the smuggler and the criminal, base instinct and greed seemed to motivate them the most which means it could also blind them. However...he would have to watch the one who called herself Nika. He wasn't sure what motivated her nor what strings to pull because she didn't herself. She was trying to find herself which could make her sharper to certain aspects that might otherwise be hidden. He was sure she already knew of his Force affinity as he did hers, which meant he would need to be more subtle. Yirim looked up at the still present figures, but they had long since grown accustomed to his habits. "We're going to have to be less subtle this cycle but maintain the appearance of such. I don't like to influence things directly unless we have to but we all see the end. They'll need more help."
"Agh!" Said the second figure in a huff. "I hate when you say that! It's the Cl-"
"Hey, I don't mind! Just means a lot more chaos and blood for me! Heehaha." Said the darker figure with a disturbing laugh.
"I've sent you both your new tasks. Study, plan, and execute. Be ready and stay vigilant. I have to go. My guests will be arriving shortly and then we must depart." Yirim stood up and all three figures bowed as the holograms dissipated. The Echani cocked his head to the side as his One, leader of his MagnaGuards, informed him of at least one arrival. He wondered who it could be but he didn't need to. He already knew; there was seventy-eight percent chance he was correct. He could see the end. It was going to get worse before it got better but this was the road to that better future. A more balanced future. He just needed to keep fighting and keep getting better. He went and sat on one of the three couches in the center of the room surrounding a table; the couch facing the door so he would see them and them he as they entered. This was going to be...interesting.
