One should know by now that blasters don’t kill this monster..
The strikingly poor state of the Pyke Syndicate is the result of inept leadership, proof has been provided that one creature stands above the other candidates, and will lead this Syndicate to prestige and riches. Piles of credits already line the pockets of she who would simply sit back and benefit from all of the hard work of others..
No more...
Carr Pyke, the incompetent head, sits on the throne of the Pyke Syndicate fed by the body's sweat and blood.. it was under her failed leadership that Kessel was stolen from the Pykes, and she's done nothing about it.. today, that ends..
The Last Step..
@Rafe must face her alone.. Only one walks away..
1: @Rafe
2: Carr Pyke @Nefieslab
Rafe stood angrily waiting for the ship to dock, his operation had been a success, but his orders had been disregarded, willfully, resulting in a small handful of deaths, even though he had ordered full non-lethal. Rafe would eventually come to terms with the fact that that order had been almost impossible, after all if one wanted to make an omelet, they had to crack a few eggs, and in any event the operation had been a success. He'd bought the crew of the ship with loyalty and credits, so now that the passengers and all those still loyal were being held in the mess hall of the ship restrained and under guard, but mostly unharmed... save for the five or so who had been killed.
Rafe maintained, in the docking bay, awaiting the arrival of the woman who would soon no longer sit at the head of the Pyke Syndicate, Carr Pyke, he supposed this was a usurping, but reasoned that he had led the Pykes in a more profitable and powerful direction than she ever had. She'd inherited a successful Syndicate when she assumed power, since then she'd lost Kessel, the main bread ticket of the Syndicate, and lost the faith and the loyalty of the people. Rafe had brought prosperity to his fellow Syndicate members, stabilized relations with other syndicates, and subjugated a lesser known criminal organization to add additional profits to the Pyke's coffers, all the while this woman sat back useless and lining her pockets with the credits earned by the hard work of not only Rafe, but every person who flew the Pyke flag.
This would be a historic moment, the first ever non-Pyke to lead the Pyke Syndicate... Rafe hadn't even considered that during his crusade to better the Syndicate for everyone within.. either that, or it would no longer be his problem..
A moment later Rafe's comm kicked on as the bridge crew informed him she was preparing to dock, the red spinning light of the docking ring lit up a moment later confirming what the bridge had told him. She would be completely unaware of the situtation on-board as the engineering crew, as well as the bridge crew had successfully jammed any and all outbound communications. This was important to keep her from brining in heavy reinforcements, and possibly blowing the entire operation..
He had considered for a moment just doing this dirty.. just having himself and his loyal Pykes behind him open fire on her as soon as she exited the docking ring.. but Rafe was better than that, he had already decided he would speak with her first.. despite what had happened earlier, Pykes don't kill Pykes.. he thought, but if she gave him no choice.. his Peacemaker remained in his left claw..
Once she exited the ship and was withing the docking bay of the Lonely Cub, a Foray-class corvette, she would see Rafe, his blaster pistol in hand, and a dozen Pyke soldiers behind him, also armed. Rafe was under no illusion that she wouldn't understand the situation.
Carr.. Rafe would say, his tone soft but strong, I think we both knew this would happen one day.. Rafe would continue, Your leadership is no longer in the best interests of the Syndicate, You are routed, there's no reason for anyone else to die.. Rafe explained,
Pykes don't kill Pykes.. Rafe added, It doesn't have to go that way.. You can step down, let me take the lead and you can still help the Pykes from a different capacity.. Rafe explained, the woman had proved she was loyal to the Pyke Syndicate, her leadership had just proved to have become ineffective..
Or you can just walk away.. Rafe added, there was a third option.. but Rafe was truly trying to talk this out first.
