Drugs, ships, and adventure. Part 1. (Open RP)

Yana nodded and saluted with respect as she approached her boss Davan.

Sir I am sorry I am...and I got the holocron at your request.
She turn to Miles with ehr holocron and turned it on. It showed an elderly human man supporting himself on a cane.

This is my uncle Nathan Benton, I have always called him my uncle since the day I started to speak and is he is an old friend of my fathers. He can not work properly himself so he gambles pazak and races in the cantinas. He has an old injury that hurts him and can barely move, the doctors can not help him other then replacing some parts, but he refuses to be a cyborg. In resent years during the war he has been taking some medication that should allow him gain his mobility back. It hasn’t help much, but he claimed that it worked., but sadly its comes with a big price. Desperate times needed desperate measures.

She peered at the ship that was getting ready for leave...she figured it was this one they where going fly in on to Nal Hutta. The maintenance droids where fuelling it to get ready for departure

Miles saw everyone standing around one of the other ships that was getting fueled. "Guess we wont be taking the Gambit today. Ill just be a couple minutes." Miles palmed open his ships lock and jogged up into the interior turning into the forward cargo hold he grabbed a repulsar sled headding over to some crates that held things destained for his store. The first crate held heavy carbines and the next power cores for various weapons. Grabbing several of the rifles and a dozen of each type of power cell Miles quicly ran through a list of things they may need. Breath masks in case they had to traverse the back country of Hutta. A couple of powered grappling hooks couple small crates of explosives macro binoculars stealh generater and a few other things in case they might need them. Miles hated not being prepaired and wouldve liked a week to think out what may be needed but this would have to do.


Leaving the sled parked for a minute Miles dashed off to his ships cabin and hurriedly changed out of his suit opting for light leather combat armor. Strapping on a set of well worn blasters that had the look of being used often Miles armed himself with some other handy items boot vibroblades wrist staped throwing knives and a sheathed vibro sword. Grabbing a pair of his muti shades he hurried back and exited his ship pushing the repulsar sled ahead of him with the heap of stuff piled on it. Joining the others Miles gave a roguish grin. "sorry that took so long i grabbed some extra gear take what you thin ya might need ill load the rest on board for reserves."

before I could join the rest of the crew I would have to stock up on my gear. I knew Nal Hutta very well and for that reason I did not want to go there unprepared. this were one of the most dangerous places in the galaxie and even though I had my fair share of luck, it could quickly be spent on this planet.
as the remaining crew were gathering in front of out transport I quickly went to my ship to gather my gear.
I were already wearing my goggles, practically slept with them on, without them I were very vulnerable in daylight. I grabbed my belt with the two side pockets and some smaller pockets around it, started to pack it with power cells and some of my specially made grenades, on the right side I strapped on my electro whip. an electrically charged whip that could swing up to 3 meters and would paralyse any one it came into contact with. if it were droids it would short-circuit them. then I pulled my bandolier over my head and strapped it firmly on. in the middle across my chest I mounted my vibro dagger. easy to get a hold of should I be needing it. on the rest of the bandoliers pockets I put additional ammunition and some more explosives, just in case we would be needing to make us an entrance.
finally I checked my blasters, both my mandelorian heavy blasters and my mandelorian rippers. everything seemed to be in order so I got out of my ship and closed it after me.
I headed towards the crowd and walked right up beside Davan.

''Greetings everyone.''

I nodded to the group as a greeting.

''so are everyone here and ready to go or we missing someone?''

Yana took a quick look at the small party of only human men and then her a female twilik. All very well armered, thou normal too see on Nal Hutta with all the bounty hunters and other kind of thugs that ran around the surface. Even the wildlife outsite the citys are dangerous, any one that will go out there without any form of protection will be a big fool. The creatures will eaither eat you alive or do worse.

''so are everyone here and ready to go or we missing someone?
She nodded and walked up shuttles ramp and walked straight to the cockpit and sat down there.

”With all due respect, I know where we are going, as I know a few landing platform that are a lot safer then ”official ones”. One of my friends runs one of those landings pad so I will land there.”

Checking all of the controls, as she switched them on one by one. One of the last switches she turned on the engine that roared in the back. She switched on the navigation and the autopilot that will be switched on as soon as they leave the orbit of the Smugglers Moon. The first phase to get out of the hanger had to be done manually.

All systems are ready to go gentlemen.

She leaned back in the pilot chair to await to lift the shuttle out of the hangar bay. She felt her heart jump a little. She wondered what will happen and what is it her friend Tilan would tell her. She knew him well, a friend like him was very casual and easy going, he was rarely worried. The message on the datapad stated clearly he was not at all casual about Uncle Nathan gone missing.

Miles headed up the ramp and stowed the extra gear in some of the lockers. Heading up to the cockpit Miles found Yana waiting at the controls. Excuse me miss Benora would you be so kind as to transfer the pictures and any data you can share to this data pad please. I may have to head out quickly and begin contacting our people and some places i know outside the GTC." Miles reached out handing a empty data pad to the twilek girl.

Of course.

She reached in under her vest and pulled out her datapad and took Miles's datapad. With some few punches on her own datapad she transferred the information to Miles's datapad.

Anything else? She slid her datapad back in under her vest and gave Miles his back

I walked on-board the ship and aimed for the cockpit. when I entered Yana were sitting in one of the stools. insted of focusing on were I was goin I had my eyes nailed to my wrist comp and datapad. after Yana had supplied us with the informasion reguarding her uncle, I had started digging around and had poked around with some of my contacts on Nal Hutta. and I had just gotten word back on what they could tell me and what I could dig up my self.
so I walked up to Yana and poked her on her shoulder.
she turned her head and looked at me with a look in her eyes telling me she were worried about her uncle.

''Greetings Miss Benora. I have some good and bad news for you. first the good news is that I might know who could be the cause of your uncles dissaperance. the bad news is that it is a local crime lord on Hutta. apparently your uncle have gotten into buisness with some bad people and seems he is oweing this crime lord allot of credits that he couldn't pay. and thus it seems the crime lord have put a bounty on his head, but for some reason its a rather large bounty just for a few unpaied credits. which strikes me as odd. besides all this, it seems that this crime lord is not only known for black mailing and weapons dealing but even known to bribe senators within the core worlds. all in all a very bad fella to be oweing credits.''

She leaned back in the pilot seat hearing the news. It didn’t come as a surprise for her about the loan. The more surprising was that Nathan haven’t told her about that is particular crime lord.
But yes that is odd for some mere credits he could have paid of gambling and selling junk would have suffice

She didn’t say anything, just nodded at Gárs discovery. Her eyes where fixed on the controls still awaiting the order to punch the launch button.

Volar jogged on to the shuttle, hoping the others had not been kept waiting for him.

"I do apologize for the delay. I had to grab some gear and make sure I wasn't leaving any loose ends"

Volar saw that Gár and Yana had been having a serious conversation, and he figured it would be best not to intrude.

"Anyway, I'll just take a seat here and finish up some business. Please let me know when we are about to take off, I sometimes feel quite ill flying on shuttles for some reason."

Volar sat on the first seat he could find and began tapping away at his Datapad in his usual fashion.

Davan was surprised how well prepared everyone got at such short notice. He himself only had his two blasters and some knives hidden in his greaves. He also wore his chest and back plate armour covered over by his brown trench coat. He also had armoured gloves that ran up to nearly his elbow, they wouldn't stop a direct shot but a glazing one would fly right off. If the gloves could deflect a direct shot he wouldn;t have any mobility in his hands or wrists.

He waited until everyone had climbed on board Yana's shuttle before going up the ramp himself. He pressed a button on the inside of the shuttle and the ramp began to close. He moved forward towards the cockpit.
"We are all here Yana, whenever you are ready lets get under way"
Davan moved to the back of the shuttle near Volar and sat down aswell.

Miles listened as Gar told ms. Benora about what he had found out and quickly added those details into his data pad. Moving to take a seat and nodding to rabbit and the Chief Miles frowned something not fitting the puzzle in his mind. Looking over at the Chief Miles leaned over and whispered Just how much pressure can i apply to this deal. Or is there a need to not draw attention to us?"

Yana punches the launch button. The engine roar in the back and rises hovering steady on the docking bays platform. With some swift commands on the dash board she maneuvers the shuttle out of the hanger and ascends higher and higher into the deeps of the space. The planet wide city becomes smaller and smaller beneath them as the lights of the city lightens up as they enters space.
Yana switches on the auto pilot to take them to Hutta, she will turn it of when they get near enough before she will pilot the rest of the flight. With that she turns in her pilot chair peering at her new friends.

May I have your attention?

The men turned they gaze at her, she took a deep breath.

I will take this shuttle to a friendly port that i have frequently used before coming to the GTC. The space port is run by Tilan Mechtan and his wife Jujls. It was Tilan contacting me to get back to Hutta as fast as possible. He didt tell me in the message what is up only that my uncle is missing and they have recovered some data-discs they can't decipher in is apartment that was turned upside down.
It doesn’t surprise me my uncle have lended money from a crime load, he always pays them back one way or the other. Even when he is old and can fight he is smart cranky old man.
Yana shifted her weight in the chair before going on.

Mr Grim, who is this crime lord you spoke of, I might know him.

She coughed with a crocked smile on her face.
In short I had my dealings with some crime lords, but manages not get noticed while spying a bit. Better to keep out of sight then out in the open. If you get discovered, then run as fast your legs can carry you. Sorta speak

She crossed her one leg over the other awaiting what the men will say now.

I raised an eyebrow at Yana as I got up from my seat.

''The crime lord that has put up the bounty on your uncle is called, Durlex Cane, but he is usually refereed to as Mr. Cane. and as for us staying alive I wouldn't worry miss Benora. we are after all smugglers of the GTC. we wouldn't have been hired if we weren't the best of the best.''

I send Yana a scoundrels grin and got back in my seat.

Hmm I do not know him

She shakes her head.

Wait a minute Tilan mentioned something about a crime lord searching for my ship before I left. He did not mentioned the name thou. He said to me, don't land in my port for the time being.
I don't know what this crime lord wants with my ship...
But that means it we have to get on the other side of Bilbousa where Glory is. Through a swamp area by foot. It was hard enough to land, but I managed.

I hope you guys have packed gas masks with you
She smiled.

Looks up at Yana I brought extras so i think everyone who didnt will be covered. is there anything else you can tell us about the area?"

I pointed at one of my pockets indicating I had remembered my gas mask.

''Well Miss Benora, since I have lived an attack from a pack of Lylek as a kid I do no longer fear any form of creature you may throw at us. besides I have packed enough weapons to deal with such things.''

I send a self confident smuck grin at Yana and winked.

Miles heard Gar and Yana talking and spoke up so they could hear. "Actually might be nice if something did attack us theres a decent market for animal trophies."

Davan sat quietly listening to the conversation between the three smugglers while working on his datapad. That was until Miles's last comment, he couldn't help but smile.
"Always looking to make a profit hey Miles?" Davan winked "I will need to take one of those gas masks though"

Yana smiled at her new colleagues and turned back around in the pilot seat.

The Auto pilot began to blink and she turned it off and steered the shuttle manuely into orbit and into the atmosphere of the planet. As soon as they reached into the atmosphere the landscape of the planet showed it self with its polluted forest and swamps. In the distance they saw the massive buildings of Bilboasa builded by the Hutts that towered over the forests and swamps, but arms of massive sewerage system spouted out from the city making a piped system out of the swamp landscape.

Yana fiddled a bit with the radio and found the right frequencies she was looking

This is shuttle 910 Alpha requesting for landing. She spoke in radio, static noise was flickering.
Few seconds went before a woman voice

Identify yourself Shuttle 910 Alpha, we do not know you, who gave you the frequencies to this channel?

Yana smiled a crocked smile, she knew that voice.

Is that a welcome you give now a days to an old friend Juljs.

Yana?

Yes.

Permission to land.

Yana steered the shuttle away from Bilbousa and out to an open terrain filled with more sewage systems and pipes running in every direction. Between that there is some sort of road for speeders and swoop bikes to force through.
Over a hill of some sort they reach their destination. It was a small landing platform that looked deserted that just stood out in the open, but was cleared. There she landed the shuttle. As soon as the landing steel on the shuttle touched the platform the swamp around it began to remove itself only to reveal some bigger buildings that looked very much like a hangar. Out of the hanger walked a very tall and broad man with crosses arms. From the distances he looked to have very blond hair, but if one will look closely it is white and he looks middle aged.


The air felt very soar, thou breathable to some extent. Yana could endure the toxin better then humans, but always had her breath mask with her if something bad happen.

So gentlemen. She said and took her backpack that has been hanging on the pilot seat the whole trip.
Welcome to Greeting Green Space Port, only a few know this space port exists in the whole Galaxy so I hope my friend Tilan can make an profitable agreement with the GTC. She winks over at Miles after she have heard the little conversation and hinted about Miles's nature.

Davan took the time to observe Yana's piloting skills. Although this wasn't anything tough it was good to see that she was competent flying over land aswell as in the expanse of space. Of course he knew these facts already from the reports he had read but was always better to get first hand experience.
Also while they were flying Davan tried to keep track, and calculate, where they were aheading in relation to Bilboasa. It was good to learn the locations of potential safe heavens.

As the shuttle made its final landing Davan headed to Miles supplies and grabbed one of the spare masks. He resisted putting it on for now. Once that was collected he stood beside Yana and then would follow her to the man waiting for them. Although Yana had brought them here Davan's hand still flexed near his blaster, ready for any event that may befall them.

Miles stood on the ramp behind the others his eyes flicking across the landscape drawing in every detail. A very convient location indeed he would enjoy setting about a deal for the GTC's use of the place.

I pulled the gas mask over my mouth and nose and continued out passing Miles on the ramp and joining the Chief outside. it would be difficult to talk with this mask on, but I were not here to talk any ways. I would most likely be standing in the back not saying a word. I would be useing other forms of communication, primarely my blasters or my dagger.

Tilan watched the ship just outside the hidden hanger to his own base of operations descend from the sky and landed don the lighted landing platform.
In stature he was a very tall a bit over 2 meters and broad shoulder elder man, in his forties, with a couple of scares here and there that was a reminder from his time as a soldier for the Republic. One would say he can crush a man with his bare hands. He can fool a man in pazak as he doesn’t show any emotion at all.

The landing ramp descended from the shuttle and a purple figure followed by four human males walked out it strolling over towards the large man. The lekku swayed behind her back and raises her arms into a greeting, before she could say anything Tilan picked her up in his arms to and in a swift move and a little scream from the purple twilik he sat her on his broad shoulders.


Hey little Red, we didn’t expect you to get this fast back. He padded her leg and as she sat there on one of his broad shoulders while Tilan had one arm firmly wrapped around her leg preventing her from falling.

Well uhm…you said it was very urgent ”she looks down where she was sitting, but then shrugged.

Oh, this is my new collouges or friends…ehm Chief Davan, Miles Kenko, Volar and Mr Grim or just Gár.

Guys meet Tilan.

How do you do? Tilan was holding one arm wrapped around Yana’s legs so she wouldn’t fall of and reached his other hand to shake hands.

I am Tilan Mechtan, head chief officially of the Greeting Green Spaceport.

Oh, by the way Yana. My wife needs your expertise in some mechanical problem she is having with that old engine in her speeder, if she can not fix it, she we need to sell it…for a good price. He winked at her and Yana smiled back with a wink in her eye as well.

Davan observed the man as he walked down the ramp onto the Hutta surface. Probably had been a soldier or bounty hunter. As Yana approached the man he lifted her up onto his shoulder, all the while Davan had to resist the urge the grab his blaster. It was a natural reaction for him on a strange planet to be defensive when someone grabs one of his consortium.

Regaining focus on Yana he heard her introduce them to Tilan Mechtan. As the man offered his hand in greeting Davan met it.
"A pleasure to meet you Mr. Mechtan. Perhaps Yana could check that engine once we finish what we have come here for"
