[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 5367829, member: 16055"] The Vagrant Heart drops out of hyperspace into the Ellium system. A red giant burns brightly in the viewscreen. Sensors indicate a small planet on a close orbit and farther out, beyond the heat and radiation is a small starport. Giant shield ships ferry smaller cargo ships and freighters into the shadow of the planet, protecting them from the burn of the star. Tam punches a button on the comms port and transmits ID codes to port control. A controller reviews the codes and says. "Welcome back to the Tow, Vagrant Heart. Bertha currently in the dry docks, so I'm gonna have to have you link up with Fancy Flyin'. Enjoy the ride in." Kaldo pulls the Vagrant Heart into the a parallel vector with the shield ship. Scanning the other ships being brought in only show large slow cargo haulers, Kaldo sighs, a bit disappointed there won't be any competition to be first planet side. Meanwhile, Tam patches into the Fancy Flyin' to connect to the planetary holonet and contacts the Hutt. The eerie image of the bald man with the cybernetic implant ghosts to life. "I need to arraign a meeting with Ming." Tam begins, "Tell him it's an old friend." Toth reports back to the rest of the crew waiting in their Arrow-23 in a nearby alleyway, "He's picked a thoroughfare between a junk dealer and a cantina. Lots of foot traffic in the area and very public." "He's not looking for a fight." Tam infers. Rowintha lets out a low growl. "I know, I know." Tam replies. "Let's get in position before Ming arrives." Tam looks over his shoulder at the parked Arrow-23. Once again, he's standing out in the open with his Wookie pal waiting for the arrival of the Hutt. He can see Kaldo nervously at the controls waiting to kick the landspeeder into high gear at the slightest sign of trouble. Toth coolly man's the turret. Tam has the utmost confidence his gunner and long time partner. Now, he's just got to get them passage to Kessel. At the appointed time, three speeders arrive. Out of two scramble an even greater number of bodyguards than last time. Out of the third slithers Ming. Tam starts to close the game, hands casually at his sides, with Rowintha in tow. "Hah, no surprises this time human." The Hutt bellows, "I heard what you did to Faynor and I'm not about to join him." Rowintha growls. "Not scared, careful." Ming continues, "Too many witnesses here. Of course, I'm a little surprised to see you alive, I thought someone collected on Faynor's bounty." "Interesting story, that." Tam replies. "But, I didn't come to trade stories. I thought you might be interested in moving some Kessel spice." "Kessel spice?" The Hutt comes a bit closer and lowers his voice.
