One more day at the office. That’s all this was. He sat out on a bench on Nar Shaddaa and watched the people go by. Kitted out in his full armor and weaponry, with his T-visor helmet on his head he looked intimidating enough that most people didn’t particularly want to sit down next to him.
He had come to this particular area of town because he had heard about a new swoop gang that had risen to power in the area. Under the control of a man who called himself “Neyo,” this group, “the Krayt Dragons,” had risen to power over the last several months by absorbing other smaller gangs into itself and had now become one of the most strong-handed groups in this neighborhood. That presented a problem for multiple reasons.
Firstly, it meant that the people of this district had come under the influence of someone who was particularly greedy and had demanded much more out of the people than they were used to. Extorting money from businesses, selling spice, and generally abusing those who lived here. Now, none of those things are all that uncommon on Nar Shaddaa, but even the citizens of Nar Shaddaa had their breaking point and they had reached it. In fact, the people in the neighborhood had gotten so sick of it that they had come together to offer a 10,000 credit bounty for the termination of this Neyo. His second reason for being out here was that the Krayt Dragons were cutting in on Cartel space and that was unacceptable. So ripping this gang apart may also garner favor from the higher ups.
With that in mind Tal came to the neighborhood in search of one of the members of this swoop gang so that he could “inquire” of him where his boss was so that he could eliminate him. He had learned that the gang members frequented the bar across the street from him often and so he had come to wait for one of their members to come out so that he could take him to a more secluded place.
After about an hour and a half of waiting two of the gangsters came stumbling out to their bikes, which were covered in the Krayt Dragon markings. He stood quickly from the bench that he sat on and made his way across the street. There were still people throughout the streets so he needed to make this quick lest someone report him or one of the other gang members came out. While the gangsters faced the other direction, preparing to move out on their bikes, Tal drew his Verpine pistol with his left hand and fired once into the head of one of the gangsters. Immediately following that he raised his right arm and fired his wrist-mounted taser into the other. As the line struck the green-skinned Rodian a burst of electricity traveled down the line and ran into the man dropping him to the ground and causing him to fall to the ground as all of his muscles seized up.
He detached the line from the seizing man and pulled a small cloth from his pouch and put it over the man’s mouth, allowing the chemical covering the cloth to cause the man to fall asleep. With his target unconscious he slapped on some flex cuffs, picked him up, and threw him over his own swoop bike. How ironic that he was going to kidnap the man using his own swoop bike. He threw the guy over the back of the swoop bike, in a not so graceful fashion, and threw his leg over the bike to take off. Taking one final look at the man he had shot he could see that there was a large pool of blood forming around the man’s head which confirmed that he would not be pursuing him. With that he revved the engine and was off to get some information from his victim.
