Star Wars: Bounty Huntress

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

"She's a fast ship, too, believe it or not," Caya said with a shrug after leaning back in her chair and watching you closely.

The datapad flickered on, blinked slightly, then nearly cut off again before the power source seemed to stabilize. The datacard inserted didn't seem to have a huge amount of information on it, though you see a list of names(none of which could be anything but aliases, as they're all absurd) coupled with credit prices. There is also a single number marking next to each name. The majority of the names have 1s or 2s beside them, though you do see a couple of others.

If it is a list of purchases, as Caya had idly suggested, its nearly impossible to figure out who was buying what. Its obvious enough that whatever is being bought is trying to be kept just as secret as who is buying what. Its at least proof of something illegal...but really, what wasn't illegal on Ord Mantell?

“I’m sure she is Caya,” replied a distracted Eelysa, she wasn’t trying to ignore the young lady before her, but Eelysa found herself steering at the datapad with the knowledge that their was a code of some sort that would unlock the knowledge she needed. With a sigh deep within her faceplate she realized that there was little chance of her breaking the code.

Taking her eyes from the datapad Eelysa looks upon Caya, who seems to be studying her with more than fringe interest. Not lifting her helmet, and therefore not giving any indication she was watching Caya in return, Eelysa asks, “What’s so intriguing Caya?”

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Caya grinned broadly and shrugged before saying, "Nothing, just curiosity. You are definitely different than most of the blood thirsty meat heads that call themselves bounty hunters. Can't help but wonder what got someone like you into a job like this...or tracking down scum like Eslin."

She paused a moment to lean back and grab a half-empty mug of caf. She only stared down into it blankly for a moment before looking back up and straight into your eyes through the faceplate of the helmet, "I assume that piece of junk didn't help much."

Eelysa Nara: Human/Female (Bounty Huntress)

Eelysa can’t help but smile as she replies, “I’ll take that as a complement, which probably goes a long way to proving you true. Like most people doing a job, its not the work that draws me, its just the credits.”

Following Caya’s eyes Eelysa looks back down at the datapad before tossing it softly towards Caya, “Yeah, either I’m stupid or I’m not smart enough to break the code… Shall we try your computer?”

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Caya had a long look over the datapad a moment before pulling the small datacard out, "Not sure there's any code there. Looks like a good jumbled mess that those who need to know it would know it. Worth checking anyway, though..."

She then moved the chair back some, dusted off some junk on a wall to reveal a small holonet access panel(even though the holonet was pretty much useless these days), and slid the datacard into a small slot. The screen flickered a moment, then showed the same mess of aliases and numbers. Sighing, Caya hit a couple of things that you couldn't see, but nothing seemed to happen.

"Doesn't look like there's any kind of encryption on it," she grumbled, looking about ready to kick the wall behind her, "That's stupid enough as it is, but no surprise if there's really a connection to that Rodian. Looks like I've led you straight to a dead end."

Caya at least managed to look apologetic.

Eelysa Nara: Human/Female (Bounty Huntress)

Eelysa smiles understandingly deep within her mask, but it of course doesn’t carry though her the expression visage of her mask which at the moment is much to Eelysa’s dislike. Trying a different approach she rests one of the gauntleted hands upon the slender women’s shoulder, “Caya, it happens and it’s not your fault. I would have liked to talk to the guy but not if that meant him taking you for a free ride in some dark alley.”

Eelysa quickly guides Caya back to her original chair, “Its not the end of the world, I’ll think of something, okay?”

Settling back down in her own chair Eelysa tried to contemplates her future plans but finds her distracted by her companion, “Caya, don’t take this the wrong way but your unlike any girl I’ve met in your… profession. So like you, I can’t help but wonder how you ended up where you are now.”

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

The smile on Caya's face grew as she pulled the datacard out of the computer and tossed it over to you. She pulled her chair back to its spot and said, "It depends on where you think I am, actually..." she paused a moment, and it was easy to see Caya's mind whirring through something, then her tone changed to a more serious one and she leaned forward, "Cut me in for half and I'll tell you a very interesting little story. Something you'll like, I'd expect."

Eelysa Nara: Human/Female (Bounty Huntress)

Within the confines of her cage Eelysa laughed historically, but the sounded carried not at all to her companion. With in a second or two she had composed herself enough to reply jestingly, “Half the credits? Maybe you’re not so different after all….”

Eelysa pauses and considers her own actions before frowning, their was no reason to be rude, “I tell you what since you’ve been so helpful and I have a feeling you will continue to be so I’ll cut you in for a quarter of the credits on Eslin’s bounty but you can’t collect on it till we bring him in, okay?”

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Caya holds her smile, and you can see her working through your offer. A short minute passes before she finally nods, "Leading you out of this dead in is worth half, but you've got a deal."

She leaned back again and casually went on, "The story's fairly short, but here it is. Lets say there was this young woman and a scummy young man. They were walking down the streets when she led him down a path that took them to a nice quiet, out of sight place. The young man smiled and didn't complain, as he was probably a shy kid when it got right down to it...but then the young woman started to ask him questions. Questions he didn't want to answer. And so she started to be more...persuasive. After a few minutes, the young man finally started talking, as her persuasion is very, very successful," Caya's smile grew a little bit at that, "Lets say that the young man said a little something he'd not wanted to say. And lets say that just when he'd realized wat he said, he got a bit restless. Of course, the young woman couldn't just let him be like that as he could have gotten himself hurt...so, she helped him out and made sure he couldn't get himself hurt at all. And maybe the young man happened to be carrying more than just a useless datapad..."

Caya slowly trailed off, her grin apparent, though she was also looking very alert and cautious, "Interesting little story...isn't it?"

Eelysa Nara: Human/Female (Bounty Huntress)

Eelysa’s laughter rattled of the rusty chamber, she really couldn’t believe that Caya had been that foolish but it had always been brave, “Yes, you naughty little minx you, I would say that was a very interesting story,” It took some conscious effort for Eelysa to remember to flirt with Caya and act male enough as to avoid more scrutiny being cast upon her, “and I’m not sure which is more intriguing, your techniques in persuasion or the information you uncovered?”

Eelysa let the question hang in the air, it had been a typical male response in Eelysa’s opinion and not her true response, which was honest worry that Caya had placed herself needlessly in harm’s way...
