Show Me What You Got

[Brianna Saxon]

Location: Taris
Time: 09:34
Brianna had never been to Taris, but she had heard some things about it. It was supposed to be some pompous high rise want to be world, full of arrogant hackjobs and people trying to 'fake it til you make it'. But that wasn't why she was here. Taris was a bustling trade world, and in particular, it had some hardware she very much wanted to get ahold of for her new ship: Cloud Nine. She had brought Rayne along with her, because well....why the hell not? It was nice to have some time with her wife to be, and if nothing else this was the closest thing they ever did that could count as a date. They were looking for a manufacturing plant that would make a good target for their theft. Ideally something that was easy to access, and had it's own shipping services. At the moment, they were in one of the more well known production areas of the planet, as hundreds of executive and blue collar types milled between the pair. On the sides of the street, several shopping outlets had their goods on display. Bri had left her Mandalorian gear on The Cloud for obvious reasons, but once they found their target the two would obviously return with it in tow. She looked to Rayne, smirking. "See anything you like?" She asked, crossing her arms and glancing about.

Thankfully the planet was neutral aligned at the moment, and Brianna doubted that it's security force would stand a chance against two super commandos. Currently, Brianna was dressed casually, wearing a loose shirt and pants. She looked like a lost tourist if anything, so there was little reason for someone to suspect her of being a Mandalorian.

Rayne was tagging along, her mind occupied by thoughts other than the job to be done, which was unusual and acceptable since they hadn't gotten to the shooting part yet. They were in a shopping center for some reason, I thought we came here to steal some tech? Rayne thought, her other thoughts interrupted when Bri asked if she saw anything, she hadn't really been window shopping, rather she was crunching numbers, building a mental of list of the people she wanted at, and didn't want at, their upcoming wedding.

She glanced around for a second, just seeing merchants and their petty wares at first. Then... in a window.. Rayne's eyes lit up, and she said, Oh my Kad, Oh my Kad, Oh my Kad!!! Squeeling a little on the last 'Kad' and she gripped Bri's wrist hard, pulling it, and her, to a window where a beautiful dress was on display on a mannequin, I need this! She said, looking back at Bri with a goofy smile. Rayne was a shapeshifter and she had spent hours in front of a mirror perfecting her smile, and her look, she'd made it perfect, and practiced, but there was no hint of that this time, it was just a purely happy, goofy looking smile of true excitement.

Bri wasn't expecting that reaction from Ray, as she was pulled towards the shop window against her will. She couldn't help but laugh at her partners expression, as she hadn't seen the woman make that face before, and frankly she found it adoreable. The dress was impressive to say the least, which also meant it was expensive. Bri eyed the piece of fabric, then looked to Ray, unable to hide the biggest damn smile on her face. They could afford the distraction for the moment. It wasn't like they were on a time crunch after all. "You like that?" She asked, her arms wrapping around Ray's waist. "I think it'll look good on you." She admitted, knowing that they were probably going to have to buy it now. At least getting the dress would solve part of the wedding planning, because despite Ray's best attempts, there was no way in hell Bri was wearing a dress; even if it did look as nice as the one before them. Bri really didn't care for shopping. She actually kinda hated it, unless it was for weapons of course. But she was prepared to suffer if it made her little 'princess' happy. While she wanted to put off on buying the dress, it would work for making them look like commoners on the world. She glanced at Ray, her hands tightening around the woman. "Did you want to get it now?"

Previous post continued here. ​

They walked from the shopping bazaar and began to do some more studious work on finding them a target for Bri's heist idea, passing by several company's fronts responsible for providing much of known space with the means to kill one another, mulling over each one until Rayne found one she thought would be a good fit, it was a relatively small compound, maybe a single foundry, and one large warehouse, belonging to Borstal Defense Inc. They were responsible for producing some of the best heavy cannons on the market, and Rayne knew they also manufactured some high quality ships shielding generators. To be honest, Rayne liked the company, and their products, so the fact this would be her second robbery against this one company wasn't abnormal, of course she wanted the company to succeed and continue manufacturing parts, but she, and likely everyone else, did not want to pay full price.

Rayne explained the good chances to Bri of this specific warehouse, and waited to see what she'd decide, Bri was in charge here, so Rayne would let her take the lead and make any major decisions. Finally taking in the sight of Bri, Rayne giggled a bit, Bri had been carrying everything Rayne and her had bought, You look like a coat rack, she said about all the bags she was carrying.

Brianna really didn't like shopping. Now toting all of Rayne's recent purchases, the once proud Mandalorian had been reduced to a mobile closet, one hand held several pairs of shoes, another was full of different pairs of...was it lacing? Brianna honestly didn't know what the hell Ray had bought at the last place. She was trying instead to listen to Rayne's run down on the factory and it's manufacturing aspects. Thankfully it seemed Ray was familiar with the facility, so that would make breaking into it a little easier. Though, she really wanted to put these damn bags down, this was just humiliating. Though it could have been worse, they could of had their Mandalorian peers watching her. Why did someone even need so many shoes? It didn't make sense. Still, it made Ray happy, so Bri would put up with it.

She couldn't help but laugh when Ray pointed out how silly she looked, because Brianna agreed. She did look ridiculous. "Oh, thanks, I feel like it. I'm a proud Mandalorian coat rack now." She chuckled, shaking her head. Oh, was she going to get back at Ray for this. But that was for later. "So, you trust this place's products? I wasn't sure what sort of shielding you had on your ship." Brianna replied, as they continued their stroll down the street, spotting the warehouse and factories compounds in the distance. Brianna wasn't familiar with Borstal Defense Inc. but she trusted Rayne's word if they had good stuff. If they had settled on the factory as being their target, they only needed to scope it out and plan a heist.

Taking Bri's hand with her own, Rayne gave it a squeeze, I'd hang my coat on you.. she said and smiled with a wink. Then it was back to business, Borstal Defense Inc. Is one of the most trustworthy brands for ship's systems.. Rayne said truthfully. She'd never been to this specific facility, but she imagined they were probably all similar.

Taking in all the information what she could see offered, Rayne noted entry points, high traffic areas, and sky lights, they would be coming at night, but even then security tended to be higher at higher volume entry points rather than lesser points, such as employee entrances, or docks. After circling the property like some lost tourists, Rayne said, I think I've got enough to formulate a plan, if you're ready to go back to the ship? She finished, expecting Bri would be all about returning to the ship to put down all of the bags she was carrying, meanwhile Rayne's hands were completely empty.

Brianna chuckled at Ray's comment, but they went right back into their discussion. "Well, if you trust Brostal then it's good enough for me." Brianna adjusted the placement of the bags she was carrying, feeling them starting to slip from her grasp. The perimeter didn't seem like it would be too much of a hassle, but Bri could only imagine that the response from the military forces of the planet might represent a problem if they tried to go with the direct approach. The Mandalorian attack would be have to be quick and direct, they didn't have time to scamper about like a pack of whomprats. After doing a tour of the area, Brianna felt ready to return and start the planning process with Ray, and it seemed her bride to be felt the same. "I'm ready, I think I've had enough of being a coat rack for today." Squeezing Ray's hand. "So, what's that beautiful mind have in store for this modest factory?" She grinned, as the pair would make their way back to the ship.

Rayne and @Brianna Saxon arrived back to the ship, and once they were in the comfort of solidarity Rayne spilled her idea, her mind on track for the most part, but also occasionally losing where she was as she glanced toward the bags Brianna had bought her. Her plan was decent, her and Bri and a Marauder or two would breach the compound, leaving a speeder truck outside as they did so, then wheel (well hover) the system out on a hover sled, load it up and zoom back to the ship, which would be parked nearby, like theres no Mañana.

So what do you think? Rayne said, not looking at her, but at the bags again. Rayne was kind of getting ready for the mission, her armor mostly on at this point, and her weapons in their holsters or clipped to her.
