The brothers, as usual, were quite late or the shindig. A cornucopia of reasons explain this tardiness most of which does not fall on the two. That noted, if the little tour scheduled was of the norm both men would have immediately went to The Utopic Vulture. Of course, the whole business was everything but the norm. Even in this bizarre reality. Both men had been deeply effected by the abrupt appearance of the three Twi'leck. Their sisters. Stopping a passing man an animated discussion transpired. The trio exchanged handshakes and the two men picked up their pace. Kieran asked solemnly -Kieran- "Have we even talked to them?" A long silence at last was broken - Laoch- "Since they've been back? No." Quiet reigned supreme for the rest of the walk. As they reached the Firespray 31 Interceptor the men paused. And down came the rain. In buckets. Yet there they stood near motionless -Laoch- "We could ring the bell...." A deep grunt was all that Kieran offered in reply

The girls were just strolling back to the ship. Gid's mind was now on the Handmaid's tail, so the They would now make it their own, much like this Ris character had tweaked the vessel to his desires, without modifying it in such a way that it bore little resemblance to the product that left the factory floor. Oh the things I will do with it! Much like her sister, Alem too daydreamed with her new toy in mind. It was Shakk who noticed the pair and bolted towards them. But mad as a hatter she might well be stupid she was not; shocking these two could earn one a hole through the head. So but a few meters away she yelled - Shakk- "Laoch! kieran!" Then she lept at Laoch

Bey let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't how his proposal was going to go over, but it seemed like the group before him was looking for some excitement. There would be plenty of that where they were going, along with some danger as well. He was less concerned about the latter part now that his crew would have some company.Great. He squealed enthusiastically.Reaching into his apron pocket, the gamorrean withdrew a hand held questis and began to perform some calculations on the handheld touch screen. After a moment he turned the questis over and handed it to Grace.We've taken on a contract to hunt an exogorth that's been harassing ships traveling between Hoth and Bespin. Apparently one slug in particular has become a real problem. Local transport pilots have taken to calling it the 'Ship Breaker', though I'm sure that's an embellishment. How tough could it be, right? He said naively. Either way you'll see on the handheld there a set of coordinates for Hoth's southern hemisphere. An old friend performed a survey there a while ago and found a collapsium deposit beneath the surface. We'll need to extract that before dealing with the slug. So assuming that's all agreeable, we'll meet you at those coordinates and set up a base camp. It'll take at least a few days to extract the collapsium.

The two men were beginning to become a bit agitated by the wait and indeed this impatience was quite transparent. From the manner in which they held themselves they held themselves to their increasingly loud voices they oozed aggression. Eyes glaring Kieran paced back and forth in a small patch of pavement but approximately little over a meter -Kieran- "Now exactly can freakish looking women possibly hide in a place like this?" Laoch, both hands waving in the air, the right carelessly holding a pistol fired back in agreement -Laoch- "Right! And leave your brand new ship just laying out in public like this? WTF is that?" Then the voice screaming 'Laoch' touched both of their ears. Turning towards the sound Laoch all bugbear time to see the blue flash leap towards him. Luckily he did not shoot. The pair rolled on the ground coming up to their feet but a few meters to the left of where the men had stood -Keiran- Shakk sis - are you stupid? I near buried a cap in you!" The man was actually shaking. But A smile now brightened his face. The other two sisters halted right in front of Kieran, who with a pleasant smile and a warm voice to match spoke - "Alem; Gid. What a pleasant surprise ! Now would it kill you two to get me off this street?"

With the resolution on a move agreed upon more than a few people had split the scene. But the most significant party, surgeon did the decision making remained. Grace knew herself knew that but few would go on this venture. At Bey implying the ease with which taken out an exogort Boland immediately responded -Boland- "Never underestimate anything a chara." But the woman lifted her right hand and he stopped. She then gestured to Bey's device before speaking -Grace- ",Your party; your call how we approach it." Boland looked at the handheld. He reserved everything to memory. Then the man brought his own handheld on line with the coordinates. Hitting a button these were also sent to the the Twi'leck girls. And something inspired him to hit send to another party. Boland then flipped the piece back to Bey. Leaning in ever so slight the woman spoke -Grace- "hear this clea: we will make the right moves in the heat of the moment." She left little room to the intelligent mind that it necessary she would abort a mission of she felt the move right at an point in an operation. And there she struck the key note -Grace- "We never leave a man behind." Her own people knew that; she was saying directly to Bey that he would never be deserted. She did not ask in what if any way this would further bringing his father back; this to her was about forming bonds An ornately designed clay chalice sat but a meter from the table. A mixture of sage, manna grass, cedar and tobacco burned constantly creating clouds of purifying smoke to bellow from the vessel. The bodhran beat in the background nonstop. As the talk turned to a Quest the Uillean pipes rose up slow until they reached an ear splitting screech, as if cued by the moment. But who or what abruptly inspired the playing? The sound slowly died down then was gone

The tiny Twi'leck led Laoch to the Firespray 31 class patrol and attack craft. With the press of a button the rest hatch opened and she led the pair inside. Likewise, Alem and Gid entered the ship, bringing Kieran with them. One of the girls spoke -Alem- "You have no idea what we're on next." Almost poetically Comm. devices began chiming. Gid opened her own looking at it briefly then asked -Gid- "Alem let me see yours." Her sister handed over her open pad. After a quick peak eyeglasses the device back to her sister -Gid- "Appears that we know where we're going. ..."

Laoch, open pad in hand hanging at his side looked the interior of the ship up, down anrcaround. Nice piece of work. Conversely, Kieran was entranced by the info appearing now on the device in his hand. He muttered -Kieran- 'Exogroth eh?' Now He definitely had some questions on the reasoning.... Maybe common sense of this whole enterprize -Kieran- 'Laoch! Look at your Comm.!' Laoch did then looked to Kieran then the girls -Laoch- 'Appears that we're going too....' Open right hand now held high

Letting out scream that would curl hair Alem jumped up and smacked the hand of Laoch then landed with a bow. All three dragged the brothers through a one over of the ship. It was late into the Juvexian night when Gid clapped her hands -Gid- "Alright we need sleep and if somebody doesn't start naturally now I start drugging people!" Her siblings fussed, sniveled and whined but not a one wasn't out cold but a few moments after their heads hit the pillow. All except for Shakk. For a long time she lay thinking

Both men were ecstatic; the triplets were family. And they were favorites. Laoch showed his excitement quite transparently whereas Kieran attempted to be more reserved. The men both laid down but where Laoch was in la la land almost instantly when his head hit The pillow, his brother lay awake eyes on the ceiling for hours. His and Laoch's Comm. devices went off at the same time. Reaching out he snatched his brother's and opened the line, shutting his own almost instantly afterwards. He listened with a shocked look on his face. And he rapidly typed in a response then shut the Comm.

When The two men's Comm. links buzzed Shakk was still awake. She listened. Epona just rang up the boys. How nice.... Epona? Epona! The girl's unsound mind raced but she say still and quiet. Alem, now fast asleep did not stir. But Gid, who also sat in the pilot seat in dreamworld, opened her eyes wide. Standing she walked over to her brother and casually asked -Gid- "Who was that?" The wheels started to turn....

Bey crossed his arms over his chest and nodded as Grace told it like it was. He understood what she was telling him, or at least he thought he did. He would expect nothing less, for he felt the same way in regards to his own crew. Though the gamorrean and the crew of the Lack of Faith II hadn't been together long, they were beginning to feel like a genuine family. That was something he had longed for ever since he was forced to leave his home world. That these people were of a similar caliber of moral fibre spoke volumes about them. When Grace got to the part about 'never leaving a man behind', Bey was practically blushing. The forest green of his skin turned a shade more flushed.You never leave a man behind, eh? He started grinning from tusk to tusk. Kriff yeah. I can get behind that one hundred percent. He turned to go, walking slowly towards his swoop-bike, which was still connected to a series of repulsor sleds that held his crew that had taken part in the resurrection ceremony. He slung one leg over the saddle and gripped the accelerator handles, revving the engine. He turned his head and looked at Grace one last time. In the Under City on Taris, the swoop bike gangs that live there have a saying: ride or die together. That's how I live my life, for whatever little it is worth. If we are in it together, that makes you and your lot my friends, and I'd do anything for a friend.Vroom! Vroom! Vroom! The swoop-bike, or rather, the 'swoop-hog' engine roared as Bey fed the accelerator.I'll see you on Hoth.

After explaining the info he had received Kieran kicked and dropped the man's Comm. Laoch howled - "WTF was that for? " Then grabbed the Comm. from his chest and stood. Then talking fast but very quiet to Gid the big man stood back and smiled. Eyes suddenly becoming the size of saucers he flipped open his universal communicator and tapped off an visual message. Closing the device he looked at His and asked calmly -Kieran- "We green?"

Speking low but authoritatively the red Twi'leck said -Gid- "We have commitments to Bey to deal with first and we will." The woman left no room for negotiation. Going back to the pilot's seat she fired up the ship, lifted off and was gone

After Bey Kahn and his crew left the ritual site, they returned to the Juvex City docks where their ship was located. The gamorrean drove the swoop-bike with attached sleds right up the boarding ramp and into the Fairwind style vessels belly. He parked his bike while the crew on the sleds disembarked and returned to their duty stations aboard the ship. Bey made his way to the bridge where Chestnut and other members of the bridge crew were waiting. As he walked onto the bridge he took a seat in a worn leather chair bolted to the deck near the centre of the bridge. The seat sunk a little as it accepted his bulk.
Bey: Set a course for Hoth and get us in the deep black.
Chestnut: "Already plotted, Cap'n. Away we go."
Repulsors and sublight engines came to life and raised the Lack of Faith II from its mooring and took it to the air. The ship rose in place a good sixty feet before turning in place and accelerating forwards. The engines burned towards the open orbit.

Grace ran from the Utopic Vulture, scarce having time to snatch her rifle and an errant clip ran from the ship and wearing nothing but the gun raised it high and rapidly emptied a clip into the sky. Tossing the clip to the side she popped in the other and commenced to empty that clip too. Holding the gun barrel up with her left she shook her left fist -Grace- "Bloody shite hawks!" Shaking head she turned and walked back to the ship. Not bad, thought a member of the Juvexian National Guard, get a bit of nudity and gunplay from a tribal chieftain. Now how would that look in a JNG brochure he wondered

The ship moved down on the city with relative ease. They knew exactly where they were going. Coming down but 10 meters from the Utopic Vulture Gid shutdown the ship and both Laoch and herself exited the ship. Grace was seated at a table beside Boland's YT? 1300 light freighter. The pair walked over to the table and took a seat. Gid looked at Laoch then back to Grace and cleared her throat -Grace- "We - mostly Kieran - drafted this agreement up with one...." Glancing to the document -Grace- "Kingpin the Hutt...." Thinking that introduction more than she probably she handed it to the woman -Gid- "All that's left is your green light."

Snatching the brief paper from Gid's hand she spent close to the minutes looking it over before handing it to Boland and asking -Grace- "Tell me what you think." Accepting the document the man spent some time examining it before tossing it on the table -Boland- "Pretty tight." The woman nodded in agreement

As night started to fall, a Firespray 3-class appeared in the sky over Juvex City. Hitting a switch Gid let out a richly coded distress signal announcing their arrival. The ship slowed down setting into prearranged landing area on the east edge of the small heavily guarded section, now occupied by a small group of troops -Shakk- "We're there.... I mean here. Open the door!!!" The hatch dropped open and Alem and Shakk bulleted from the vessel. The were met by three Togorian Commando who searched the pair, the warmly welcomed them. Shutting the ship down God to exited. Two troops entered the ship and meticulously searched the vessel. Metal detectors and a highly trained detection hound were employed in the search

Three Togorian Commando stormed the ship with a hound and began a through investigation of the ship for contraband. Low and behold some dirtbag had somehow infiltrated the ship. Pulling a blaster he turned to shoot the centuar but a Togorian drawing his service revolver dropped the delinquent on the spot. He was dragged from the ship and the body quickly disposed of and that whole nasty business was forgotten, hurried somewhere in the sorted annals of Dubh family history
