[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 4830765, member: 16055"] Rowintha lets out a hoot. That’s the fastest she’s ever hacked a DuraTech model 77. She turns on the lights and surveys her surroundings. The walls are aged and dirty, but in good enough shape; thick enough to prevent a blaster from penetrating too. Toth begins moving crates from the pile on the southern wall. From the weight, he can tell they are empty, but that doesn’t stop them from making good cover. He creates a wall for himself and then scatters a few more about making the whole thing look a bit less suspicious. He goes prone behind the boxes and looks over to see Kaldo, pulling a tarp over himself while laying on top of a stack of boxes, gaining the high ground. The Captain and Rowintha wait in the open. If there is one redeeming quality to Ming, it’s that he’s punctual. Six henchmen walk in first, creating a semi circle around Ming and the bald man with the cybernetics. “So did you bring the ore?” Ming asks. Rowintha produces a small bag of the ore and tosses it to Ming. Ming catches the bag and hands it to the bald man. The bald man takes a piece of the ore from the bag and seems to study it. After a moment, he nods to the Hutt. “So where’s the rest of it?” Ming asks. “Storage container.” Tam answers and produces a code cylinder, waving it above his head for all to see, before return it to his jacket pocket. “Where the money?” Ming scowls. “Deal’s changed. I don’t really like to pay for what I can get for free. Why don’t you just give me the code and then my men won’t have to beat it out of you.” “I wouldn’t do that if I were you Ming. I have four blaster trained on you this very moment.” Tam replies smoothly. “What?!” Booms the Hutt, “You, ambush me?!” “Now, give us the money and everyone can just walk out of here in the same condition they arrived.” The Hutt simmers a moment on the verge of rage. He says quietly, “Ten thousand.” “That isn’t what we agreed on. My Wookie’s claws are getting itchy.” Rowintha growls to punctuate the point. “Thirteen.” “Deal.” At those words, the bald man pulls out a credit chip and hands it the lead thug. Tam and the thug walk forward to each other in deliberate, measured steps. They exchange code cylinder and credit chip and then carefully back away. Ming growls and then leaves. The bald man and his thugs following him. Tam gets on his comm link and calls for their waiting speeder. Toth is the first out the door. He reaches the door and pulls it open with his left hand, covering the street with the carbine in his right. Tam, Kaldo, and Rowintha pile in. Toth takes one look back at his boxes in the silo, but it was such a good ambush position. [/QUOTE]
