[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 5423913, member: 16055"] The Zabrak lingers at the bar, his long black cloak conceals his form and, more importantly, his weapons. The hood masks his face as he scans the tables and tries to discern the motivations of the patrons. A human enters the bar followed by a Duros, Wookie, and Bothan. But the Zabrak is quick to correct himself, not human, near-human. The miss-matched eyes give it away. They belly up to the bar and begin joking with the bartender, a Trandoshan in a yellow jump-suit with a scar cleaving the left side of his face. "Any news?" Tam asks as he's being poured a drink. "You've done some work for Ming the Hutt, right?" The bartender replies. "Yeah. What about Ming?" "Apparently, he's on the up and up. Made a nice score on some Kessel Spice not too long ago and got promoted. Moved his operation out to Ord Dorlass or somethin'." "Any idea on who did the run." "No, but if the reports are to be believed, there was quite a shoot out there at about the same time. Can't blame 'em for laying low." Tam returns to his drink and Kaldo gets his attention, "So, you know who the contact is?" "No idea. Jurasco just said it would be someone we knew." "Someone we know?" Toth jumps in. The three smugglers settle their eyes on a figure pulling apart a condenser coil in the corner. Tam leads the way. Kaldo, Toth, and Rowitha follow. A beat later, the Zabrak turns and shadows the group. Tam slaps the Jawa on the back, the coil springs from his hands spilling parts all over the table, "Set! How've you been?" The Jawa looks up at Tam and around to Kaldo, Toth, and Rowintha. An angry string of Jawa flows forth, followed by a more moderately paced string. An exasperated threepio voice comes to life from the vox box attached to Set's satchel, "For all our sakes, I will spare you the initial greeting. My master, wishes to inform you Jurasco says hello. But, my master, finds this very strange as Jurasco isn't here. These human customs confuse him. However, this is the person you are to meet." "Well, say hello to Jurasco for me." Tam replies. Set waves him off and returns to picking up the parts of the condenser coil, leaving the conversation to his disembodied droid and the table's other occupant, a young human woman with dark skin and black frizzy hair. Tam takes a seat and watches the rest of his crew follow suit. A moment later, a hooded Zabrak joins the table. Out of the corner of his eye, Tam catches Toth raise an eyebrow and shift his blaster carbine into a better position. "Tam Voren, captain of the Vagrant Heart. This is Toth," Tam says pointing to the Bothan, "That's Kaldo and the Wookie's Rowintha." The woman's eye narrow and she looks at the crew, "I'm Jayne, the Zabrak here is a friend." "Great." Tam says eager to get on with business, "So, you have a ship?" "One's been located for us." The Zabrak says pulling back his hood. "We still need to pick it up." "So, you haven't seen the ship?" Kaldo interjects. "No." "Do you even know if it works?" The Zabrak smiles sheepishly, "No." "Great." Kaldo says sarcastically. "Where is it?" Toth asks. "Docking bay 19." Jayne answers. "Not far from us, at least that's good." "Well, let's go." Tam says. "I'm not going with you." Jayne says, a scowl crossing her face. "Rowintha." Tam says. The Wookie stretches her arms out, linking her fingers, cracking her knuckles in the woman's face. "Ah, new strategy." The Zabrak says. "Fine." The woman says, getting up, "But this doesn't mean I trust you." Toth gets up and turns to see a drunken Quarren standing on a table, blaster in one hand bottle of rum in the other. He looks to his companions who are also staring at the spectacle. "Attenshun, patrons of this fine essshtabishment!" the Quarren standing on the table begins, slurring his words, "Thissh cantina is now under the control of the Red Star Pirate Gang and closed." "My bantha it is!" Shouts the bartender. He pulls a double-barrel blaster out from under the bar and lets lose with both barrels into the chest of the pirate on the table. The last thing Toth catches before chaos erupts is enough to get him involved, "Free drinks to whoever gets rid of these mynocks!" [/QUOTE]
