[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 4828014, member: 16055"] Raylee’s Den is like a thousand different cantinas in a thousand different systems. The food is greasy and the drinks are cheap. It’s here that the scoundrels of the galaxy drink, gamble, and boast of how many systems they have the death sentence on. Toth seems to fit right in. He goes to the bar with the captain to order drinks while letting Kaldo and Rowintha find a booth. It was a bar probably not much unlike this one that Tam and Toth and bottle of whiskey decided the best thing in the galaxy to do would be to borrow a bunch of money from a loan shark and buy a state of the art light freighter, making their own way in the galaxy. It wasn’t too long before they brought on Kaldo and Rowintha. The Duros was a hot shot pilot and already knew the ins and outs of the criminal underworld. And the Wookie? Well, who doesn’t want a Wookie on their side of the table during negotiations? Kaldo slips into a booth in a back corner and waits for Nakko to buzz in. As he waits, he over hears the conversation in the booth next to him; two ore processors in the middle of a debate. "Well, I heard someone is fighting against the Empire." Proclaims the first. "Yeah, right." Rebuffs the second, "Who's suicidal enough to do that?" "I don't know. Darrius was telling me about. He's got this cousin that was working at a TIE factory. Apparently it was attacked." "Darrius ish an idiot. And his cousin ish a bigger idiot." The second is slurring his words, he's obviously had too much to drink. "Besides, who'd want to do that? All these Imp contracts mean work." "Yeah. Work with lousy pay." "Whoa. Somebody got a grudge against the Empire?" The second says a little too loudly. "Watch your voice," whispers the first. And even quieter, "I hear they pay people money to inform on others." "I think you've had too much to drink." The second says ironically. "If that isn't the Jedi calling the Sith Dark." Responds the first and he goes back to his drink. As Rowintha’s patience is running thin, Nakko buzzes into the bar. She is puzzled by how his little wings can keep up his ever growing belly, but lets the captain do the talking. “Nakko.” Begins Tam. “I didn’t expect to see you guys here.” Nakko responds. “What do you mean?” Tam asks, knowing the deal is going south even before its begun. Nakko wrinkles his brow and looks at Tam. “Oh, so you haven't heard? Sorry, kid,” he says, “I don't have ten thousand credits. I spent it already. Some hot shot and his Wookie friend already sold me enough ore to last the next two cycles. You got beat. It happens. Thought you'd know and go elsewhere.” Rowintha growls. Tam puts up a hand to keep her calm, while starting to lose his cool himself. “Wait a minute, Nakko, we had a deal.” “I pulled the request from the holonet. How’d I know you'd have the goods and be in the middle of hyperspace.” Before Tam can reply, Nakko continues. “Look, look. I like you kid. You're a good guy. I know that. You know that. She knows that. I'll make you a deal. Go see Ming in the Ellium System. He runs a mine outta there. Crazy place. Really close to the sun. Need to be ferried in and out by a shield ship.

I'm not sure how much you can squeeze out of the Hutt. He'll act like he doesn't need the ore, but I know he's in a jam. You'll be able to milk him for all he's got. Just do me a favor and don't mention my name, okay?” Tam gets up to leave. “You better not be lying to me, Nakko.” Rowintha punctuates the threat with a growl as the group departs. [/QUOTE]
