-Bateman- "Yes, a delivery indeed. If you wouldnt mind to invite us to your ship, I am sure we can discuss the details in greater... khm... detail."
They were still standing at the foot of the ramp, the old man pointed out with both words and hands, not in a scolding but more of an ironic joke manner.
-Bateman- "And you could tell a little about yourself, if you dont mind."

*Ral gave a slight unsure look before shrugging to himself and turning up the ramp, waving for them to follow. He led them to the small living area and motioned towards a couch for them, and he took a chair for himself. He ran a hand through his crimson hair and gave a soft sigh.*
Well, I cant imagine there is too much you need to know about me. I am not tied to an form of government. I do not has a base of operations. I can pilot most ships that don't require a large crew. I will fight if I have too. I do not work with anyone not considered an adult by their species. Children are a real pain, ya'know? I trust that would answer most questions you have about how I work. So tell me about this job.

Bateman took a seat while the slave just stood one sidestep from the door silently. Bateman opened his suitcase that reviled brochyrs and contracts, also, a tatooing device.
-Bateman- "Well, it happens that the parcel Gaia here is holding needs to be given to a woman who looks a lot like her, but in a yellow format. The only problem is, nobody should put eyes on its content but the woman you are supposed to give it to. She is right now the art teacher at the Corellian jedi Accademy. She will give you an other Twilek to take back here. It sounds simple, but if it was, we wouldnt need your talent, now would we?"

Nothing is easy where the Jedi are involved. But I understand. Should I expect trouble or should these be peaceful. If we expect it, I do have a slight extra fee to pay for munitions used. Fairly reasonable if I am expected to put my life on the line, yes?
*He eyed the box that Gaia was holding for a moment. Given what was said, Ral assumed he would need to smuggle it on to the planet, so his stare was more gauging size and weight so he would know where in the ship he would hide the thing. The upside to a Imperial designed ship though was most people do not assume they will be used to smuggle anything.*

-Bateman- "The main objective is to put this box and the key for it into the hands of Five, the twilek in question. And you need to do this without rousing suspicion. As long as these criterias are met, you may do whatever you wish and how you wish.
Payment is twenty thausand credits. Five now for expanses, the rest upon delivery of the twilek Five will intoduce you to."
Gaia the Forewoman of the crucible, and banshee held the box on the sides with her fingers, so it seemed rather light.

Well, I will leave right away then. Just need to refuel and restock, which it sounds like the crews are already getting too. Just set the box on the table, I will store it away before take off.
*Ral stood and walked over to the elderly man, pulling a data chip from a pouch on his belt. On it would be the information to wire the credits to his account, as well as information on how he could be contacted securely. He moved over to the door and waited for them, clearly wanting to get to work quickly.*

Taking a datapad from his suitcase, Bateman wired the money to the account on the chip and saved the contact information. 5000 '7. Gaie put the nicely ornated mahogoni box on the table, and left shortly followed by Bateman.
-Bateman- "Man of action! I like that. Well, good luck and good travel!"

*Ral simply nodded as they left and looked over at the box on the table. He walked over and picked the box up, moving into the corridor and pulling one of the deck plates up. He replaced the plate when the box was securely strapped down in the secret compartment. He strode up to the cockpit and began to preform his checks. He got everything cleared, and while the crews were finishing up, even had time to set up the hyperspace coordinates. About a half hour after Bateman departed, the ship took off.*

The Mantis Patrol Craft landed in the designated hanger bay but no passenger ramp descended. No hatch was opened and no communication was sent. Vaulkhar waited in the cockpit checking the external sensor feeds to see who or what would approach the pirate marked ship.

-1- "Would never dream of it Nysste." One got into a back room kitchen and half a hour later she showed up with a stew of nerf, vegies and spices, followed up by a creamy dessert of vanilla and chockolate set up in the suit study. While Nysste ate, 1 would check the bed for security, same for the bathroom, showering and changing into something more sleepware. Hanging her blaster and lightsaber beside the bed, she was allready under the covers when Nysste came back to the bedroom. There was a small sensor module beside the bed, explained before to be a kind of alarm that makes it easier for them to sleep, and still wake up if something was up.
The next day, there would be an Ardent class waiting for them, fully crewed and filled with nasty fighters.*Once 1 had given Nysste her food, she made her way to the study and ate there as 1 did other tasks. During the time she ate, she had a few of her books from her ship transported to the apartment. These books soon arrived a while later and Nysste carried them herself to the study. She then enjoyed her dessert as she studied the books over several hours, mainly the one of the old Sith code and a book of Revan and the Mandolorian war. She evntually grew tired and then closed up the books and cleaned up her mess. She then walked toward the bed and climbed onto the opposite side of 1. She then yawned and did her best to fall asleep with one of her eyes open and on of her hands rested upon the lightsaber that she had put under her pillow. Morning would soon come.*

Sivuri gave a sigh and shook her head. Mak's head was in his drink and up front greed and Rorran was quick to anger. Jobs were not get rish quick schemes. Did neither of them see the large payout this could have though? Surely the Captain must have or her more thank likely would have walked out by now. She glanced over Makmorn and Rorran. Both were large, intimidating, hardy spacemen and most definitely more traveled than her. Perhaps they had a knowledge she did not.
"I don't think you two are seeing the larger picture here. The potential profit is very large with some patience and hard work. Nal Hutta? That's serious business. Doesn't the idea sound quite exciting? Is there risk? Certainly but I wasn't aware pirates were afraid of such things or maybe I just joined a crew of scared children." Sivuri smirked playfully and turned to Raith. "I'm just trying to speak the other side. The decision is up to you Cap." After hearing out the local official, Raith turns back to his crew, the new offer was an improvement.A better offer. We choose our targets and act of our own accord. It could be there are worthwhile targets plying the routes he mentioned, shall we take the change and dredge the lanes for targets? Thoughts? A better offer. We choose our targets and act of our own accord. It could be there are worthwhile targets plying the routes he mentioned, shall we take the change and dredge the lanes for targets? Thoughts? Mak took another swig of his drink, savoring the burn. He took extra care to speak privately to his captain, Bateman listening in on their huddle before rubbed him the wrong way.It still seems too much like merc work. We should be getting at least sixty percent of a haul. If it's privateerin' we're doin', they should be gettin' a slice of our pie, not takin' the pie and leavin' a slice for us, if you follow me cap'n.[/quote] "Is right," he said, lowering his voice further. "We should be the getting of sixty percent. More than. Is no profit here." Bateman made an effort to not sound like he was evesdropping. The feeorin made an effort for him not to, and god damnit, thats a huge feeorin. He sure as hell didnt want to win against him in space-chess. But, he wanted this crew on his side. Why? Because he didnt want to win in space-chess against any of them.-Bateman- "Captain, if I may widen your view a bit more about that sixty percent and what you buy with it. Lets say you say nay to me and mine and take your crew out to the stars to earn that high proffit you are looking for, like everyone else who dreams of a life of ease and quick cash. You will succeed, yes my friends, you will succeed. One hit, two hits, a third scheme, maybe even a heist. You might be one in a hundred who do make their future on these hits, and you can stretch out on some beach with a cocktail in your hand for the rest of your life, living the life. But lets say you arent incredibly skilled AND lucky. Lets say your fifth hit brings you twenty tons of frozen fish. Lets say, that with the hit you gained the fish you also alerted a large galaxy wide government of your identity and acts. You will be sitting with 20 tons of frozen fish slowly defreezing in your hold, with every nearby port wanting to en-prison or kill you. Where will you make profit of that fish? And who will clean your ship so it doesnt stink anymore? Where will you spend your money if you are wanted all over the galaxy? With sixty percent, you are buying a safehaven. You are buying a market to sell everything and anything you get your hands on, and you buy safety. The merchandice you sell to us will never be tracked back to you. And most importantly, you will be given the chance to partake in larger operations, just like the Nal Hutta one. For that sixty percent you buy access to a network that is galaxy wide, effective, and profitable. Lets say you get incarcerated... for that sixty percent you buy a grantee that someone will come for you. Either pay you out of a situation or simply breaking you from prison. Especially if you are a good earner. Contemplate who and where else you would be given this freedom and this support. All is asked for it is Sixty percent of what you find, and a bit of recon on a couple worlds." The Mantis Patrol Craft landed in the designated hanger bay but no passenger ramp descended. No hatch was opened and no communication was sent. Vaulkhar waited in the cockpit checking the external sensor feeds to see who or what would approach the pirate marked ship. A Rather tall and thin man approached the Mantis Patrol Craft. He was suited for business and was armed with a suitcase. One might not take his gear as dangerous, but in some cases a man armoured in a business suit and armed with contracts can do more damage then a Basilisk War Droid with a bad sense of direction in a China Plate store. He was sided by a yellow twilek slave in plain cloths and a slaves collar wearing an E-11 blaster and a vibrosword. They waited for any kind of livesigns coming from the ship, making sure no guns were pointed at them by positioning.*Once 1 had given Nysste her food, she made her way to the study and ate there as 1 did other tasks. During the time she ate, she had a few of her books from her ship transported to the apartment. These books soon arrived a while later and Nysste carried them herself to the study.

She then yawned and did her best to fall asleep with one of her eyes open and on of her hands rested upon the lightsaber that she had put under her pillow. Morning would soon come.* Ones eyes at once popped open as her Datapad peeped. She got up slowly, trying not to provoke anything from the sith with the energyweapon under her pillow. See, thats the intresting thing about slaves. They see everything but not everyone sees them. Of course, that depends on local Culture, like 5 on Corellia is kinda known and spotted at once since there arent that many slaves in the corellian jedi accademy. She got up and checked Nysstes cloths for anything that stood out (like a Dathomirian blood bug, or any changes that might hurt her) and folded them on a chair beside the bed ready to be donned. She checked the toilet for traps or explosives. There is nothing as easy as to kill a female sith with a tiny bladder, a pressure plate and a thermal det. She made sure the refresher pumped actual water and not lets say... toxic waste that peels your skin off. She tasted the water to make sure it was not poisoned.
She went through the room, as she would go through the rooms in days to come, to make sure it is secure and nothing would harm the Juvex Imports Exports investment, The Sith Nysste. Not that Nysste had anything to fear from Juvex Import Export in its own headquarters, but she wanted Nysste to understand that this kind of safety measures are constant and will be constant. One also thought that nysste was a bit... naive against the world. Not only sith could kill sith. She knew this. She and her sisters had killed sith.
She donned her stealth belt with the E-11 blaster and put on the bandolier holding the sheathed vibrosword to her back and sat down to watch over the room untill Nysste woke. Just after prepearing a quick breakfast of cut up sausages, vegetables, breads and mild sauces.

They waited for any kind of livesigns coming from the ship, making sure no guns were pointed at them by positioning. Vaulkhar studied the being through the sensor read outs before moving towards the back of the ship. The top of the boarding ramp had plenty of room for groups to gather and his team had done so. They appeared fully armed and armoured, causing their leader to smile. He himself was dressed ready for battle, as all pirates under Arkan's command were taught. They all held their blasters across their bodies, grasping them ready for battle but not in an overtly offensive manner. They have come to do business but they still had a reputation to uphold. Vaulkhar nodded and the nearest member of his team pressed the button to lower the ramp. Shortly after it had fully descended Vaulkhar and his four team members walked off the ramp, bristling with metallic spikes and aggression.
"I see little has changed around here, tell me, is Bateman still in charge?"
Vaulkhar spoke while walking, stopping about three feet away from the suited man. His own blaster carbine was held casually in his right hand, his left ready to grab for any of three different knives displayed on his person. He quickly looked the Twi'lek slave up and down, dismissing her as a threat in his mind. His team had spread out slightly and stopped about another six feet behind him. The outer two were glancing around for any external threats while the inner two had eyes fixed on the suited mand and his slave.

After some discussion, and internal debate, Raith looks to the local representative.We may be able to work together, but this is my offer. We take a letter of authorization, giving us cover as one of your customs craft. But we operate at our own pleasure. We won't be beholden to a leash. We target who we will and take what we wish. If we find information, or something that would be of greater use to you, than to ourselves, we will pass it on. Also, while plying your customs routes, we expect to be supplied by your people, fuel and tack. Agreed? -Bateman- "As long as you hold yourself to Hutt space. The Support fleet is there. And we uphold one very important rule. No hits in sistems close to juvex. We dont shit where we eat. Bateman then opened a drawer and put up a bunch of contracts giving them one each.-Bateman- "All that is left is a couple autographs for our records. Dont worry, the records are protected by a nice big safe. And even if it would be broken into, there are a couple nice incindinary safeguards to make sure only those authorised to read them can access." Vaulkhar studied the being through the sensor read outs before moving towards the back of the ship. The top of the boarding ramp had plenty of room for groups to gather and his team had done so.

Unfortunetley, MR Bates was horribly murdered and I have taken his place, I am Patrick Bateman, and welcome back to Juvex. We are always happy to see the Bloodrage Pirates as guests. Can I offer dinner and drinks, or would you just want to get to the point?" Mr Bateman was calm, even with all these dangerous people around him. As if he was used to it or something. Cold blood. THe twilek took a step back to be able to see all the Bloodrage Pirates. With her weapons and the stealth belt, she was a threat.

With her weapons and the stealth belt, she was a threat. The pirates had no reaction to the previous head of Juvex Import/Export being murdered. It was standard in their line of work for people to be killed by those under them who seek promotion. Many of the pirates standing before Mr. Bateman has risen to their current position by murdering their superior.
"Oh no, food and drink would be very much appreciated. Never do business on an empty stomach. Do you have any rum?"
Suddenly the other pirates looked more interested in the immediate business talk, if there was rum then there would be a good time!

-Bateman- "Three, if you would be so nice, could you please clear out the Rhodian?"
-3- "Yes, Mr Bateman."
The Twilek ran off towards the exit and disapeared.
-Bateman- "The Rhodian is a liked pub, will fill any wishes you might have. So, What have you been up to for the last couple of years? Any good heists? How is pirate life nowdays?"
He started walking slowly after the twilek, motioning the Bloodrage Pirates to follow.

*Nysste quickly woke in her undergarments, turning on her side to see One just sitting there. She yawned and threw the covers off her, but made sure the blanket never fell off the bed. She stretched and forced herself up, grabbing her clothes and robe. Sniffing the air, Nysste could smell food and she raised an eyebrow at One.* "I must say I'm impressed. Are you able to draw a quick shower, or can I actually do that myself?" *This was Nysste's way of teasing the Twi'lek for doing all of the work. She could sense One's essence everywhere, as if she checked every inch of the suite for danger. She smiled at the slave as she waited for a response.*

-1- "I checked your sponge for poison needles and your hygiene products for acid."
One could get pretty paranoid while under the protection of a banshee. Especially if she grins deviously like One.
-1- "same for the towels."
She turned stern again, grin forgotten.
-1- "The troops assemble at eight standard, so we have a hour to get ready. You will get your report on ship status on the bridge at Eight fourty Five, we have preserved an air corridor at Nine to lift. We should be out of system by nine fifteen."

(Some backalley Cantina) *In an obscure Cantina, in a easily forgotten part of the city, a Mandalorian sits at the bar. Pounding the strongest drink they got. His buy'ce sits on the bar as he leans slightly in full armor. Most drink to forget. He drinks to remember. He remembers Pantora. Being left for dead. A voice. A benevolent being. O was it a dream? He couldn't tell anymore. Whatever he was he still is, just....forgetful. He knows he's Mando'ade. A highly trained Executioner. Beyond that he can't remember why. Not his family name nor his place among them. He looks into his own face. He's been told he's an Echani, though he knows that doesn't matter, but doesn't know why. His frustration is beginning to be fueled by the alcohol. Even though it takes him a lot to get drunk, it still flares the irrational. A ghost of a man, looking into his own amber eyes. Frustrated. He can tell he isn't welcome there because of who he is, which never bothered him before. Normally he ignored any and all. If they made an exception to him being there he would take them down. No matter how many there were. But this. This time it was different. This time he could feel their unwelcoming attitudes. All of them. Which is part of the reason he's drinking to dull this new sensation. He felt that is was wrong on some level, but again he couldn't remember why. So much frustration. If he didn't find some sort of release, he would go off. A shell of a man encased in armor. A ghost. A spectre.*

Vaulkhar started walking after Mr. Bateman, glancing towards the Twi'lek slave. He enjoyed the rear view he was getting. The other pirates followed about ten feet behind, eager for some rum.
"Well, we've had a change in leadership since I was last here. Sorak's brother Arkan now heads the group and some of the way we do things has changed but not much. Arkan is very interested about working with Juvex Import/Export again and eager to stamp his own mark on things."
Suddenly the other pirates looked more interested in the immediate business talk, if there was rum then there would be a good time!

-Bateman- "Well, I guess he will have to buy more stamp ink, if we can come to a mutual benefitial arrangement. Please, come in."
They came to a bar. It looked high scale, with people wearing expensive brand made cloths being screamed out of it by the slave twilek who ran ahead in juvexian native language. There was a guy with a broken arm so it looks like its a tourist place. Everybody knows not to frack with twilek slaves on juvex. The place had expensive liquour, expensive bar, expensive food and a very expensive internal decoration. Real wood bar, with rhodian stile furniture and colours. Bateman asked them inside and sat down by a large table. The Twilek ordered the bartender to start pouring the best rum they had, and quickly.
-Bateman- "So, How would Mr Arkan like to take from the hutts what they can not protect?"
