It sees at least ten armed individuals of varying races, all of whom stare unflinchingly at the vessel. As the Mistress descends, a set of doors open and a human woman, followed by a pair of Gran[sup]1[/sup] thugs approaches the vessel. "Well, well, if it isn't the Mistress Dofina. Alive and well no less too. I'm impressed. You must have had help though." She nods towards the ragtag group of survivors from Taris that begin coming down the ramp. "I see that your everpresent droid is still with you as well." The woman's condescending demeanor hides her beauty underneath shadows. "Four. You haven't changed one bit. Still cleaning slime from Torbba's tail these days? Or does he have you doing real jobs now?" Dofina's face betrays her annoyance. As the pleasantries continue, a hand wave from the woman called Four sends most of the armed individuals away. The only two that stay are the Gran that followed her out. X monitors the local networks, but only picks out spotty information. For Ambrus, unless X would like to share:[sblock]The news of the galaxy has been mostly focused on the recent rise of Palpatine's first Galactic Empire. In more local events, there has been large bounties placed on any and all Jedi. Bounty hunters from all over the galaxy have been showing up on Nar Shaddaa recently as a stop-over in their search for the rogue Force-users. It also seems that the local swoop races have slowed as well due to the recent changes in political structure. Many ships are now stopped and searched before being allowed to continue and sightings of the Imperial fleet have been reported near this part of the galaxy. The Hutts are concerned that this Empire will want to cut in on their action.[/sblock]The rest of the group slowly makes its way into the area with Dofina and Four. They see around them that this landing platform is barely large enough to hold the ship and the people on it. Looking behind you, you see the city itself, thousands of lights chasing the shadows of colossal structures. Just beyond the ship, the platform drops off, but you aren't close enough to see just how far it goes down. From behind Four, where she entered the platform area, you see a set of double doors, still opened. Inside it you see a hallway that runs perpendicular to the doorway. You can also see the gun barrels of two guards just inside. "...don't say. I suppose he already knows who these people are as well?""No, actually, but he does want you to enlighten him on the subject. If you will all come with me, please."Four gestures to the two Gran, who take up positions behind all of you. Another two appear in the doorway and head directly to the ship, where Femi is just getting off the ramp. They lead you into the hallway and turn left. Following the hallway around, you are led into a room with many chairs around a long table. There is blue-painted protocol droid standing there holding a platter with empty glasses. As Four directs you to have a seat, the droid asks you for your preferences. While the droid fills your orders, Four leaves with Dofina, leaving only the rest of you and the droid. The door closes behind them and you are left alone.
