Coruscant

EcO5XRq.jpg

In one of the many seedy spots in the planet of endless cities, the night was full of dark deals, secrets exchanged and made. But for this one night I had a target in mind. A Devaronian who was trying to sell what goods he had left, after I had seized most of it to a buyer in the city with endless number of abandoned buildings and dark corners. It required a lot of tracking, and investigating before I even knew the slippery man had escaped to this planet. Honestly I had to at least give him credit this was a place where one can get lost without even trying, so I am sure he planned on losing me and any other lawmen that was after him here. Sadly fate wasn't on his side since he pissed off his last girlfriend, who gladly told me where he was heading to.

It was a lucky break on my part that I knew wouldn't happen a second time, so this meeting that I learned from a rather disappointed seller that got out bid by whoever was buying from my target. So much for honor among thieves. Of course my information could be wrong and I was going to have a bunch of egg on my face when I break into a empty warehouse with not even a droid selling illegal music. I maneuver through the dark alleys and busy streets without a problem thanks to my armor. Even if my people are still considered as rare a sighting as Jedi our legacy and reputation is still well known. Which works for me just fine, I didn't want to get too close to half of these people anyway, not when half of my gear on me made me a considerable prize to jump. So when I started walking down the more empty streets and alleys where the smell of alcohol was strong and the smoke was thick I lucky got through without a knife in the back.

The meeting was in a hour and I had just gotten to a empty building next to the warehouse. It was a large structure with few entrances. Inside the place was a maze from what I heard, with large empty cargo boxes that might have a few dead bodies in them forgotten to time. The neighborhood was supposedly empty of people that called this place home. The best you could find was a old smelly man without a ID, and with starry eyes.

Getting to a level that was a floor above the warehouse, I pulled my rifle out able to see either side of the warehouse there was no way I could watch all four sides but if at least I could see someone walk in I would be sure of the meeting. It would probably take a little while, which will suck but I will just have to toughen up. The balcony I was at had a solid wall covering my lower half. Behind me the door to the empty apartment was open for a quick retreat. I doubt there was anyone behind me to worry about but I made sure ever few seconds to look behind me to ensure I wasn't about to get attacked from the rear.

Elara, first the first time in her life really, was way out of her comfort zone. She got excited when she received the communication from the rangers about a thief on the lose. She thought she could start making a difference. She is now thinking she really should have thought twice about this, as she struts along some seriously dodgy street. She couldn't blend in if she tried, given her skin colour, and attire, but she was good at pretending to be confident and intimidating. Very good. She turned her usual smirk into something more sinister, and although there were a lot of looks, some dirty some just very creepy, and some whispered comments, most people were leaving her alone. Her blaster was planted firmly on her side this time, and she kept hovering her hand over it, almost like expecting to take it out soon. She was hoping she wouldn't have to but she was starting to think otherwise. Not a place to be careless, this one. She almost couldn't believe this was Coruscant. Not long ago, she was enjoying quiet drinks in an upper class bar.

Although it made sense to her that this dealer would be found here, this would be a prime spot for criminals and shady characters, and most planet would have some. She wasn't completely naive as to think Coruscant would be crime free. Ha! The thought almost made her chuckle, but she contained herself. A few more glares but she continues walking confidently. She cannot show her hesitation, or else she was sure people would ..well it wouldn't be good.

As she nears the location of the supposed meeting, Elara comes to a slow stop next to a dark alley, on the side of an empty warehouse. Being careful not to elicit suspicion, she takes a datapad from her belt and, keeping her distance, casually leans on the side wall, pretending to read it while scanning her surroundings briefly. She keeps her expression neutral and devoid of emotion, although inside she is a wreck.

"What am I getting into..." She thinks to herself, as she waits for the target to show.

Watching the building there was little movement, the occasional vagabond walking nearby but no one actually stayed. That was until he noticed a woman approach. She didn't call to much attention to her and after she stopped to read her datapad, I figured she was just someone looking for a private location to read. But the longer she stood there the more I began to suspect her to be some sort of look out. Not a unwise move, either she was working for my target or the buyer either of which meant that if I wanted to get any further I needed to deal with her.

But I couldn't shot her that would draw to much attention and when she responded with nothing the meeting would be called off and I would need to start my search all over again. Worst yet would be if she called in when I tried to make a move on the target and they both went into hiding and I doubt I would ever find my target again. So the only thing I could do was try to figure out how to approach the look out without drawing the attention of the buyer or my target.

Best case was that she wasn't actually a look out just someone looking for some peace and quiet. Worst case is as soon as I approach she starts blasting. But if I didn't try and take her off the board she would become a problem as someone potentially caught in the crossfire or someone that will be shooting me in the future.

Walking with a quick pace I slung my rifle, exiting the building within a few minutes. Hopefully she hadn't moved, I walked through a alley that was parallel to her own. Hoping to get out of her sight before approaching her from the other side. With the warehouse in front of me rather then to my back. After making sure I wasn't about to be jumped by anyone nearby, I walked into the alley the women was.

Now pride is a big thing for Mandalorian's and my own code to honor my clan meant I wasn't allowed to do certain things to bring dishonor to that. But it didn't prevent me from lying, at least asking a question I didn't care the answer for. So as I approached I made a purposed movement to look up and down the woman. She wasn't unattractive but had less armor then I personally enjoy, and when I was only a couple feet from her I stopped crossing my arms.

"How much for your time gorgeous?" I didn't care if she was a woman who sold her body, had bigger fish to fry but if she was a look out she needed to keep a cover and would try to stay at her spot regardless, but if she was just a bystander hopefully my rather crude comment would send her off.

Elara almost got startled by the sudden appearance, of a man (well she assumed he was, judging by the voice, but could also have a droid, who could tell under the helmet?), completely covered in armour, and given the rifle that was slunging from his back, quite well armed.

"How much for your time gorgeous?"

His helmet moved up and down, suggesting he checked her out properly. Not that she minded that on its own, she had that before. And she wasn't even particularly offended by his question. She was aware on how she looked...Especially in this sort of places. But something was a bit off. No way in hell was this man looking for a good time... Elara had to keep herself in check as not to burst out laughing.. First of all, she thought, he didn't really need to move his helmet if he wanted to look. Second, his tone was a bit...neutral. He just..didn't give off that vibe. Thirdly, he was carrying a big gun and was wearing armour from head to toe. Either, this man was a bounty hunter...Or.......Well if he wanted her dead, she was almost certainly have been dead...A shiver was sent down her spine. Either way, definitely this man was dangerous and she needed to be careful. But it occurred to her..what if he was looking for the same man she was? Could he be a ranger? She needed to find out, carefully.

With a confident smirk, she puts away her datapad. In a low tone, but not low enough that it would be inaudible, she asks him with a wink and a seductive smile "Well, depends what you need, honey...."

She stops leaning on her walk and closes the distance between her and the man. Despite the fact that her heart was pounding in her chest, she keeps her demeanor cool. Her tone lowers this time, so that no one else would be able to hear, and from the outside it might look like they were debating a price.

"But I do not think that's why you're here...who are you..."

She stops mid sentence as she notices some movements near the ware house. She grabs his arm and pushes both of them nearer the wall, side by side, and so that they would be completely out of side if the field of view of the people in front of the warehouse.

The sentients at the warehouse front were hauling a large crate on a hoverseld. The Ithorian stockman was giving their all to move the ageing device to the doors, while the other two discussed payment and handing over the leas of ownership. The Devaronian began to stamp their feet and curse the thritiness of the thin human salesman. "What the kraff do you mean, duty fees and import taxes?"

"St-st-st-standard procedures, my hands are tied." the near groveling tone was pathetic, filled with fear but only some directed to the customer. "If you'll just wave your credit wand over this pad, you can store your purchase in the facility." The human looked alarmed at every movement the horned humanoid made, and lanced nervously a the container of unknown contents. What did it contain, why were they so intent on obtaining this relic?

"We agreed on a price, you worthless drone! Now you are altering the agreement! Do you know who I am?" Inside the crate he lay, dormant for sometime, only the occaisional click or buzz of his standby processes and chronomatic functions. Cycles, algorhythms and diagnostics that had run almost countless times, since sealed in their rest place. Asleep, in a dreamless stae, cycling power at the lowest of levels and unaware of his fate.

I kind of expected the response, but as she got closer that was when I became somewhat nervous. Thank the ancestors that I was wearing armor cause I grew a rather large shade of red. If I thought this lady was a danger I would have taken a step back and honestly even if she was what see was claiming to be I would have taken a step back but stopped only to not offend her. But when she began to question who I was, a new fear took hold. Maybe she was a look out and was just a really good one, but I didn't get to much time to think about it before she pulled me towards the wall. Not pinning me in fact rather trying to hide along with me due to someone walking into the warehouse.

Which meant one of two things either she was above the up and up and another lawme- law woman or she was a actually ashamed of her choice of her career paths. Despite my dislike of being a investigator sometimes, I knew I no longer could believe in coincidences, so had to assume she was a fellow law person.

"Well I would say ask my name first before touching me but seems like we skipped that step."
Reaching into a pocket I pulled out my Sector Ranger ID to show to her.

"I shown you mind, now you show me yours."
There was some humor in my voice, but I knew that right now it was show time and I needed to get inside the warehouse soon before it was too late.

But I kept my eyes on her, I needed her to show she was on my side quickly before I had to stun her and just keep on moving. I wasn't going to allow her to get caught up in a fight if she really was just unlucky enough to be here.

Elara shushed the armored man as she kept to the wall. Not the best time to argue on etiquette. Though normally she's asked why he doesn't seem to like to be touched...Another time. She glances at his id, raising an eyebrow. If the ID was meant to identify him, who would if he decided to take his helmet off? She puts the question aside for now. The ID at least told her he was a ranger, Janus Rock. What a surname. Elara had to fight a smirk. Reading he was a ranger, a massive wave of relief washes over her, though it is quick, given the situation. At least she now knows she potentially could have some serious backup, by the looks of him.

Quickly, she takes her id from a very tight front pocket of her trousers. After a few seconds of struggling, she shows it to him, while glancing. After a few more seconds, puts it away and points her head towards the warehouse. Given they were both rangers, it was clear to her now they were both here for the Devaronian. As she pointed the target to the ranger, it was clear the was trying to frighten the poor Ithorian workers.

"I wonder what's inside the box.." She barely whispers, only her fellow ranger would be able to hear.

"What were you planning to do? Not much time left..Pretty sure he's wanted alive.."

Elara asks, keeping her face towards what was happening in the warehouse. Given the man's equipment, she wasn't sure he wasn't just going to shoot the bastard. She wouldn't have minded too much but..then again it wasn't her style, and not everyone deserves death in her view.

Nima stood nearby the Devaronian man. This was her first job ever since she got to Coruscant, and she couldn't be more bored. She was expecting to go fight giant monsters or face a large group of people, but here she is standing by being a pretty guard for the Devaronian. Despite being extremely bored, Nima was still on high-alert; she would continue to glance in every possible direction, and it also helped to avoid eye contact with the couple of warehouse workers that were staring at her. She would occasionally listen to the Devaronian man yell like a child, and she wondered if people like him were common in Coruscant. Nima didn't really talk to that many people since she got here a day ago, and the first person she talked to hired her because he saw the lightsaber; she wondered if her employer believed she was a Jedi person. Nima's attention was now drawn to the box that the Devaronian was fussing about. She wondered what could be in it that is so important, but at the moment Nima only cared about keeping the temper tantrum man alive.

Anxiety began to set in when Nima felt like her and her client were being watched. She wasn't sure from where, but she made sure to continue acting natural. Her lightsaber was hidden in her small cape, but she was ready to bring it out if ever necessary. "I wish Father taught me a force power that could let me tell where people were. Maybe it doesn't exist..." she thought to herself. Nima hoped that nothing would happen, as she hasn't been in a real lethal fight yet in her life; she could also really use the credits from the job. So, she figured she should give the Devaronian man a warning. She walked up behind the Devaronian and whispered into his ear with her monotone voice: "I think there might be some trouble soon."


Ik it said open thread but I still hope you guys don't mind me jumping in. If I caused a problem or something just lemme know ;3

Based on her reaction she was definitely a cop of some sort. Good meant I would have some backup for this operation, even in the heart of the galaxy, good backup was rare to get especially when speed is needed and you don't actually ask for it. Maybe I should have but at least now I was going to have to start being up front with her.

"Listen my target is the seller, a Devaronian. My plan is to get in through the roof, find some entrance hatch then get in. Want a ride or you going through the front door?"
I knew there wasn't much time left before the targets finish up the deal, but getting a plan together first is important.

If I knew how criminals work there would be some security in the warehouse so going to need to take them down quickly and probably make a call for Coruscant police to show up too. Not that I care about turf but once I am the first one on scene and got the people then there won't be anyway for them to claim ownership of the case and results of the arrest. Maybe a bit childish but my own numbers were important to keep up if I wanted to prove my worth.

But now will probably have to share somewhat with my new friend Elara, but it was with a fellow Sector Ranger so that wasn't as big of a deal. Professional courtesy and all that. I took out my pistol and set it to stun before holstering it again and taking out my commlink, looking at the warehouse when speaking to make sure no one else got out or in on our side.

"Give me your commlink channel so we can keep in communication in case we get separated."
When that was done depending on her actions he will be running towards the building where he came from and head for the spot he found before to make his jump to the other building.

It's all good glad to have you join us.

Within the sub-routines and layers of potential systems to actiate depended on the timing in which receptors picked up date. A little noise now and then would lead to nothing, noise and some motion would activate the boot. Loud noises and extreme unsettling of the gyrostabiliser or worse disconnection of mobility systems would result in all internal memory being stored in the core databanks. A shouting Devaronian while being on a hover sled left nothing for the sleep cycle to react to. Only the keenest ear, in a silent room with ear pressed to the crate would pick up on a gentle ticking of a chronometer, and the occaisional wirring of power units transferring from one to another.

The Devaronian halted their verbal assault as the pink guard caught his attention. He raise and pointed a vicious straight blade with channels carved down the middle from the hilt. Some sort of warknife? "Alright, take a hike, I don't want to see you around are warhouse again." With that he practically threw the credit wand at the datapad and moved to replace the ailing and fearful Ithorian in pushing the sled into the warehouse. "I swear, if it wasn't fo you pinky... I would say this was one of my worst jobs yet for the boss."

He shunted the sled foreward, at a far swifter rate than the Ithorian. As the condensced air circulatin these lower levels swirlded it brought with it a fake drizzle of rain as the doors to the warehouse were opened by gang members with combact blater carbines. "Alright boys and girls, I got the package, where are we stowing it?"

"Yes he's my target as well" Elara explained quietly. At least it was confirmed that they were both after him.

Elara nodded at the man's plan. It was a good plan. And he confirmed they were both after the same target. Good. Herself was planning to see if there were alternative routes. Of course that's how far she planned. Showed her inexperience...This would make sure not only that she'd have backup (seemingly a more experienced ranger, at that) but also that the people at the front wouldn't notice...Hopefully.

She took another quick peek at the gathering in front of . There was someone else there now that she noticed. Another Zeltron. She blinks. How did she miss her?This could be trickier that initially thought, and she seemed to be guarding the Devaronian or in someway working for him at least. When she wispered in the target's ear, Elara's heart rate sped up a little. Did she see them? She quickly ducked again, and gave her details to her new, at least temporary, partner in..well anti crime.

"What you mean ride? And watch for the other Zeltron. I have a sneaky suspicion she's more alert that our target." She whispered as closed to the man's helmet as she could without invading his space too much.

Nima wasn't sure whether or not to take the man's statement as a compliment or not. She simply nodded her head and followed him towards the warehouse. Once again, Nima thought about what was in the crate. At first, she thought it was important because she was hired to be a guard. However, she wasn't hired to guard the crate, but to guard the Devaronian. So then, she wondered how important the Devaronian was. He didn't seem particularly wealthy, so Nima assumed he held some sort of high position with this gang; despite the man not looking particularly strong either. She wasn't too keen on helping criminals but 2000 credits was a pretty good offer for a first job.

After the Devaronian and Nima entered the warehouse, the gang members closed the large doors. Nima let the gang and workers do their thing while she leaned against a nearby wall. Reaching into the left sleeve of her dress, Nima pressed a few buttons on her wrist mounted controller to summon P.O.T.C.. It would take awhile for the droid to arrive, but she set it to eventually search the area around the warehouse. Lifting her left arm towards her face she muttered "Just survey, nothing else." She didn't want her new droid to get destroyed immediately so she made sure it would be careful.

So far this was just getting worse and worse. I noticed the people entering the warehouse and cursed myself for not reacting sooner. Once inside now I and my new partner would need to find a way to get inside without drawling immediate fire. So I didn't head off just yet I could arrive to the roof of the warehouse pretty fast so it didn't matter to much to me.

"I can take you with me, with my Jetpack, to the roof."
I realized I needed to actually communicate with my partner since there was no way for her to read my thoughts, one of the reasons I sometimes like to work alone.

As I waited for a response I realized that I hadn't notice any weapons on the woman. Either she had some hidden on her or she didn't carry a weapon which was highly unlikely so I would need to be careful to make sure not to get taken off guard. If Elara didn't tell me her plan soon I will just fly up to the roof and see about sneaking into the warehouse.

"Got to watch out for her, but we better start moving now don't want them to get to much time to get set up. Will be harder for us to break it up once they have the time to set up security."
Once I got her response I will either fly up with her to the roof or by myself, couldn't wait to much longer.

The 'guards', if such a term could be applied to those with guns bought for with credits and promises, beagn to move throughout the warehouse. Moving to windows, doorways, catwalks and stairwells. The Devaronian was signalled by one to the resting place of the crate. The sled slid, and soon was brought a halt near a larger stack of crates. With a press of a stud, the power reduced along with the height of the sled. "There, done, and now we wait for our employer."

The horned male unsheathed his blade, stabbing it into place on the edge of a nearby crate. A pouch was xumed from a pocket, as were some fine pieces of paper and an impromptu cigarra was rolled. One of the guards, a young Rodian, looked at the box. "Da wonga sa chuba dopa-maskey." The horned male looked at the crate lying on the deactivated sled, and paused on it.

"You want it up right girl, you can heft it up right." The Devaronian took a long draw from the lit cigarra. While the smoke coiled from his mouth, he leaned back. Within the crate upon the sled, more ticking went on, its contents slumbering.

As she watched the Devaronian and the guards or whatever, enter the warehouse, Elara was surprised to hear a jet pack was being used, and secretly very thrilled..it would feel like a holo movie. Inside, she was thinking "hell yeeeeea", but she kept her composure and a relatively neutral expression. Then she remembered there was no time to waste. There was also no chance she could get in the front door that she saw, so the best option was to go to the roof and stick to her new partner.

"Yes ok , give me a lift, no point in splitting now, and I doubt I can get in the front door anyhow.."

She barely had time to grab the man on the neck, keeping herself close to him and holding on. when he decides to fly off and they land on the roof. She has to take a second to settle the rush of adrenaline she feels as they are lifted into the air, and has to fight off the urge to shout. Definitely not the time. Barely containing a grin, she take half a step back, keeping relatively close still.

"Thanks" She whispers, then, keeping low, she starts to look for a potential entry. She hears shuffling noises down below. On a corner of the building, she spots something that interrupts the smooth surface of the building.

"There..a hatch?" She whispers still, as she moves over to a square hatch opening that is just wide enough for a person to fitthrough one at a time.

She assumes her partner is silently, or as silently as a man in full armour can be, following, so she tries to open the hatch. However, she isn't very strong, and the hatch is proving to be rather more than her little muscles can handle. After a few efforts, scuntching her face into something not pretty in her mind., she puffs and stops.

"Ugh..you try..strenght isn't my forte...." She tries not to act embarassed. She knows she has many skills, just brute strenght isn't one of them.

The small surveillance droid arrived in time to see two figures flying towards the roof of the warehouse. The droid immediately sent a signal to Nima, and continued to watch from a distance. Wiith the signal, Nima steps away from the wall and over to some of the other hired guards "Two people are on the roof right now. One of them has a jetpack." Nima then received another signal, this time the droid mentioned a hatch. The warehouse was poorly lit, so it was hard to spot some sort of opening up top. However, Nima informed the other members anyways.

Some of the guards immediately went to move the main crate while others were constantly watching above them to see if there were any openings. Nima walked over to the Devaronian and motioned him to hide behind some crates. She didn't feel the need to draw her weapon yet but her eyes were glued to the ceiling. The surveillance droid would continue to watch from a distance, waiting to signal the entry of the two strange figures.

For some reason I felt like it was more fun for her then me when I flew her up to the roof of the warehouse. But it got the job done and now we had to get inside. As they approached the hatch, I kept looking around assuming my partner was going to be able to handle it. Though I was wrong in that assumption it gave me time to notice the surveillance droid that was flying around within sight. Shooting out the Whipcord thrower to the droid that was watching them to tangle it up and drag it towards me and my new partner.

Once it was in hands reach I grabbed hold of it and with my pistol on stun mode shot the thing to disable the droid. It was now evidence and no doubt belonged to the criminals inside so that they would know we were trying to get in. Which meant the hatch they saw us at wasn't going to be useful.

"We ain't going down that hatch now."
I signaled her to move away from the opening and when she did I did my best to open the hatch by twisting the opening mechanism that had clearly began to rust.

Being successful I was able to open it letting those on the bottom know that we could jump down though here if we wanted.

"Okay we need to find another hatch."
Turning around I began to move through the roof hoping to find another one to open, this way we can confuse the people inside to where we planned on entering.

Thanks to the thickness of the roof we wouldn't need to worry about anyone inside shooting at us unless they had some amount of explosives on them. But if that was the case this might be a very short operation in deed. After finding another hatch on the other side of the warehouse on the same side as the previous on. I figure that there had to be several which worked out for me and my partner since now we can have our picks on where to enter and divide the attention of those inside.

With the time spent on the droid, and looking for which hatch to enter into the warehouse, some of the scum and villainous types within began to get impatient. A rough looking Trandoshan, with a scar from a knife to the corner of her mouth burst from the top of a hatch and began spraying the pair and the air around them with laser fire. Her roar announced the release of pent up aggression from the wait.

The Devaronian's eyes rolled and he began to stand looking to those glancing at him for words, if not orders. "Alright, we got company and it appears that Cloku is going to get the bounty on a few badges or lanyards! You want here to have all the fun, then up and at them!" Hith a swoop of his hand he signalled to the roof. All the guards began heading for stairwells, the pressure was going to be mounting. And that was fine for Jolli Rognark, absolutely fine. It would give him time to prepare for their guests, if the managed to weed through the chaff of his men and evade Cloku's wrath.

He turned to the pink guard. "Ah-ah-ah, you stick with me little miss. We got to ensure that if they do get in, they regret it." The Devaronian moved towards on of the other crate stacks and began to open one with several warning flashes and stencils. "Wait until they get a load of me with this!" He hauled out a long barreled weapon and propped it against its crate, then began attaching a belt with charge packs in pouches.

While things escalated, the contents of the much coveted crate did not stir. One crate, upon a hover sled, among many other crates.

Elara watched frowning as the surveillance droid is dealt with. Very cool stuff, she thinks briefly. Followed by a breathed "Damn.." . There goes their being unnoticed. She is already thinking things are not going well. She bites her lower lips.

"Okay we need to find another hatch."

"Dam, ok...but they know we're here...not sure any hatch will be safe now." She whispers. She was going to suggest entering in different hatches, but she was definitely not prepared to fight on her own. It would not end well for either one anyway.

She responds to the man. They might not be watching that particular hatch, but they knew they were coming now. Maybe she should have stayed at the bottom. She dismisses the thought, no point in going back. She walks as quietly as she can now, staying as close to the roof as possible as she searches for other hatches. Suddenly , she hears a short burst of shooting as she nears a hatch not far from their original one.

"Crap..they're keen...You have grenades? Maybe we can draw their attention at one hatch. somehow, while we enter another hatch?"

She asks as quietly as possible, working hard not to let her fear show in her voice. Her heart was in her throat. She once again thinks she should have been more prepared.

While most of the guards went to go fight, Nima was stuck with her client. She watched as he pulled out a large gun, but she was skeptical about how well he would use it. Nima reached towards her ear to activate her commlink "Two attackers at the main warehouse, there may be more. Reinforcements may be needed to secure the crate." Using the force, Nima pulled the main crate towards her, closer to the main entrance doors. Quickly snapping towards the Devaronian, Nima's spoke out with her monotone voice: "If it gets dangerous I'm throwing you and the crate out of the warehouse. You can take it and run or just run. Just live so I can get my money."

Utilizing her wrist-mounted controller, Nima tried to get her droid to reactivate but with no use. She would have to retrieve the droid later and repair it. Nima let out a sigh and just stood patiently, listening to the sounds of combat from above. She was pretty confident that the other hired guards could take care of two people. Nima looked up for a moment and used the force to close one of the hatches that the first guard went through, just in case the two attackers would attempt to come through there. The other guards were taking a different entrance anyways.
