[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 4895508, member: 16055"] “A bounty?” Tam shouts. Some of the other patrons look his way and then return to their cards. “Yes. It’s posted at every bounty hunters guild from here to Nar Shadaa. And it is one I intend to collect.” Larno replies. He motions for Tam to sit back down. Reluctantly Tam sits back down. He hopes for the hand of his life. If there is some almighty energy in the universe that connects all living things, for once it didn’t let Tam down. Tam took his cards and smiled to himself, Pure Sabacc. He watched Larno discard and look over his new hand. The game was over now. With a flourish Tam lays down his hand. Larno grimaces and accepts defeat, “Win some and lose some I guess, that they way the game is played.” Then into his comm link, “Back off the princess. Repeat. Back off the princess.” “Good.” Tam replies, “Now, leave before I get angry.” The galaxy’s largest block of carbonite stands in the galaxy’s largest carbonite chamber. Set seems mesmerized by it. The sign nearby says it was built to showcase carbonite freezing technology for the 234th Galaxy’s Fair. Toth is just glad it is cold enough in there so he can eat his Tautaun Treat without it melting, dripping down the stick, and getting his hands all sticky. A group of Neimoidian tourist approach Toth, “Will you take our holovid?” Reluctantly Toth agrees. He uses the recorder to a get a nice holo of the whole family standing in front of the carbonite slab. The father thanks Toth over and over again as he loops the recorder’s strap around his neck. With the family gone, Toth and Set are once again alone in the chamber. Toth finishes his frozen desert and is about to drag Set out of the room, when a group of droids walk into the chamber. One of the droids approaches Toth, “Are you the Bothan and Jawa that operate a YT-2000 light freighter?” “No.” Toth lies and swings his blaster around, the new under barrel grenade launch dully shining in the carbonite freezing chamber’s red glow. Toth watches the lone droid walk back to the others. They confer for a moment and then in precise unison reach around to their backs, pulling out blasters, and level them at the two smugglers. “Time to go, Set.” Toth yells between a burst of blaster fire. One of the droids drops to the ground a smoking heap. “Oh dear! My master says something is approaching from behind.” Come the voice of a threepio droid. Toth turns and watches as the Jawa tosses an ion grenade at the approaching crab droid. Distracted, he feels the heat of a blaster bolt crossing too close to his face. He lays down another barrage, dropping another droid. One more to go, as long as Set took care of that crab droid. From behind him, Toth hears a cry of pain and the thump of a body hitting the floor. The Bothan finishes off the last droid guarding the exit and turns to see the crab droid poised over the body of Set. He blasts the crab droid at point blank range and pulls the Jawa up and throws him over his shoulder. The crab droid replies by lunging forward. Toth dodges to the side and makes a run for the exit. He slams the door close button behind him and sends a blaster bolt through the controls just to make sure. [/QUOTE]
