[QUOTE="Hooly, post: 1958374, member: 9370"] [b]A Noble Cause (Part 2)[/b] "You want me to do what?", exclaimed Stim, as he fell back into his chair. "An easy job for you Mr Sellack", responded the bloated Herglic. "You come highly recommended". Stim Sellack, a well known mercenary for hire round these parts surveyed the landscape of the Herglic's joules, pondering how much something like this Forak Nebula was worth - and wondering if it was really worth getting him and his crew's hide blown into the Outer Rim for. "Well lets just say me and my crew get a bit - you know - anxious when we're asked to steal a priceless artefact from an impenetrable vault contained in a building opposite the Government Palace which at the time will be crawling with half the planet's battle droids and security contingent." "So you cannot do the job. Belloq would be most upset". The Herglic sneered in Stim's direction and started to reach over to take back the cred chip. Stim knew he owed enough to Belloq the Hutt for the purchase of his beaten up Ghtroc Freighter, the Arc Raider, to blow out the cargo hold of a Corellian Corvette, so with that he slid forward in an attempt to reach the cred chip before the Herglic did. "Now, now, let’s not get hasty here. I didn't say we couldn't do the job. It’s just going to take some planning tis all. Might be worth a couple of thousand extra?" Stim looked over at his co-pilot Selko Fema who was seated at the bar covering the entrance. He could tell she was worried, as he saw her eyes dart from one patron to the next. What was it about her that was so unusual? Stim suddenly realised he still hadn't finished dealing with the Herglic and so pretended to have a long thought between sentences. "Of course we could just go back and tell Belloq that you've been fiddling the books. I'm sure he'd be impressed." Stim cast his associate Aladan Wolf a smile. It was Aladan who had given him that titbit of information - what Stim would call an ace up his sleeve. He didn't trust Aladan all that much, after all he had been sent by Belloq to 'keep an eye on things', but he knew his skills with a calcupad, and a blaster were a good combination in any language. The Herglic's eyes narrowed and it blubbery hide rippled as his blow hole twitched nervously. "Hrrmm..you drive a hard bargain Mr Sellak. I gather a nice 3000 credits might do he trick?" The Herglic reached into his pocket, and produced a bag of credits, slamming them down on the table. "As well as getting a cool 10G from Belloq for the favour he owes you", Stim held back the anticipation in his voice, "Manaton, I'd say our business here is done." With that the transaction was complete and the crew of the Arc Raider exited the bar. The first to leave was Stim a tall muscular man who had travelled from one side of the galaxy to the next, mostly taking out ex-cons and spice dealers. Stim was an ex-Sector Ranger and knew the underside of this sector better than anyone. Stim was closely followed by his new shadow, Aladan Wolf, a mercenary for hire and part time accountant to one of the most corrupt crime lords in the Araxian Sector - Belloq the Hutt. Two persons exited the bar next namely Stim's friend and co-pilot Selko Fema, and Stim's second hired gun, Garrat Brax. Garrat was an unfortunate fellow, burned in a plasma fire very early in life on a wayward planet somewhere out in Wild Space where medical supplies and bacta were rare. Most who looked at Garrat became nauseous as his burns covered most of his body, leaving him a shell of a man, but a man with a keen eye with a blaster, and a knack for getting into places even the finest of thieves would be envious of. Stim paused for a moment, turned and looked over his motley crew of thieves and mercenaries. The plan started as only a twinkle and suddenly hit him like a supernova. What if they conned their way into the Museum? No blasters fired. No alarms. Selko came closer to him. "Stim. You right?" "Selko - I've got a plan." [/QUOTE]
