[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5282252, member: 60965"] Badoo Hadi hit the comm and hailed [I]Utha's Pride[/I], almost trembling with the anticipation of seeing the terrified Sullustian miner's face. A second later Utha answered, twitching, eyes wide. His expression said fear, but something else too, something that made Badoo uneasy. “Hadi hetha crada Utha,” he said, squinting at the screen. What wasn't right about this picture? What was that other emotion on the Sullustian's face? “Utha mada Hadi sheecha,” Utha said, shifting slightly in his seat. That was when Badoo saw it, his eyes widening. “Utha Isalis mada oso iko!” Badoo shouted, pointing at the Isalis crystal visible behind Utha on the comm screen. Utha move as if to hide the crystal, then slumped in defeat. The Sullustian held the crystal up in front of the screen and turned it slowly so Badoo could count the facets. Badoo hooted and turned his head to shout to his brother. “Utha Isalis mada imma, [I]baka credits[/I] Hadi aroosh!” Gradi hooted back from the rear hatch of their small, fast gunboat. “Utha Isalis mada iko Hadi. Hadi kecho!” Badoo shut off the comm and maneuvered the ship to dock with the small, pathetic beaten shape of Utha's Pride. A few seconds later he brought the ship to a halt and heard Gradi seal the airlock umbilical to Utha's ship. [I]With that crystal, we'll be able to live like the Cartel for a month[/I], Badoo though, leaning back in the pilot seat and staring back to where Gradi was sauntering across the umbilical into Utha's ship. [I]And with luck, Gradi might even find something else worth taking on Utha's ship this time, a bit extra on the side to-[/I] Badoo heard the unmistakable sound of a lightsaber activating and the equally unmistakable sound of blaster fire. He reached for his weapon, but a second later decompression alarms started sounding and the [FONT=Fixedsys]Umbilical Breach[/FONT] warning was flashing on his console. He glanced back at the umbilical - now venting air and debris into space - listened to the sounds of blaster fire and the hum of the lightsaber for a second longer, then saw the Utha's Pride airlock door seal, leaving him alone with the sounds of the ship's alarms and the roar of decompression. [I]A Jedi in the Hradic Shroud? My brother's probably already dead![/I] Badoo thought, his stunned mind sluggishly grinding into action. He flipped the emergency airlock button and flipped it closed, gunning the accelerator at the same time. The ship lurched as the umbilical tore away and seconds later the Utha's Pride was a lone metal speck behind him amongst the billions of crystal ones glittering in the Shroud. [I] I'll get you for this treachery Utha,[/I] he thought as he raced further away. [I]And your Jedi...[/I] *** [I]Several days earlier[/I]... [/QUOTE]
