When the two women reach the tactical room, Zenobia clears everyone out. She faces the Captain when they're alone. "Tarkin won't shut up about you. From the way he makes you sound, if you were half as good at leadership as you are at sucking cock, you'd be a military genius." She sighs. "I have intercepted some transmissions lately, suggesting that there is a Rebel force in the Arkanis Sector. My superiors don't believe me, terrified that after the recent terrorist attack on the Kuat Drive Yards, that there is a Rebel behind every corner. I cannot go to check it out myself, so I'm sending you".
"TwiLeks...." Paz says amused and pulls out a Holopad from under his seat. He activates it and Reads about Dangerous Poisons and how to work with them.
Captain Gailte didn't take the sarcastic comment as something offending. "That just shows how much the quality officers has deteriorated since the clone wars. I'm a decent commander, admiral... and a decent pussy sucker." She stated matter of factly. As she listened to what the woman was saying she frowned. "What are exactly the parameters of my mission? Because it looks like it's a ghost search."
The Admiral looks her in the eyes. "You'll have an opportunity to prove the first claim, Captain. The second, I'm sure is true". Zenobia responds to Gailte's comment."Luckily for you, I've had a lead. Rumour has it that the Rebel commander, a man namer Javar Dele, the same one you lost to a few months ago, is there to look for a Jedi. I've set up a meeting with some pirates who claim to know the Jedi's location. Go to the meeting, and determine the veracity of the pirate's claims. If your actions lead to us finding Dele's location, there'll be a reward in it for you. Possibly even a promotion."
He puts The Holopad away and watches. "There are The Suicidal Pirates....The Acclamator shouldnt be far" he thinks.
"I'll be happy to prove my services in both cases admiral." Gailte looked sharply as the admiral continued. "A Jedi!" She hissed. She bit her lips and thought for a moment then smiled. She would have a chance to repay the rebel commander and a chance for promotion. She smirked - this as the chance she was waiting for. She turned to admiral - maybe she could make her an ally? "Understood admiral. Is there anything else I should know?"
At a nondescript cantina on Nar Shadaa, Vahlia hears her name shouted loudly. Turning, she sees a Toydarian. "Vahlia, baby, we were just about to play some cards. We'd love it if you could join us". He gestures to a table of rough looking aliens.
The Admiral thinks for a moment. "There's a bounty on your head from that Rebel. Apparently you killed his brother during your spectacular defeat. He wants you humiliated and fucked before you're brought to him. Apart from that, I'm afraid we don't have a lot of intel on this. One thing I can say, is that the pirate I've contacted has a reputation for taking out large ships. He's bold, to the point of insanity. Be prepared, he might try and screw you over".
As he waits, he receives a detailed schematic of his target's ship, marked with an optimal route to her tactical room.
"He isn't the first one... I will be sure that the brothers reunite." Gailte commented. "The most logical thing would be to use me as bait for that commander... is that what is it about?" She looked at the admiral. "What did we offer the pirates for the information?"
Vahlia drops her drink down in front of the group of bounty hunters “Depends what is the bet boys?” She rest her long grey fingers on the chair ready to either leave or join in pending on the answer.
Zenobia answers "confiscated spice is what we agreed to give them". She looks a little dubious. "Are you willing to be used as bait?"
The Toydarian, Garra, looks Vahlia up and down. "Well, the buy in is 1000 credits, but, I can think of something else you could offer as a stake".
Gailte pauses as she thinks for a moment. "There is a possibility that the information already leaked..." She shook her head. "No - if we... I won't take care of that, he will be going after me until he is done. Now is the best moment. My ship serving as a decoy for rebels with your destroyer, closing the trap." She paused. "First you release the info - in a believable way, to lure the rebels. Only the place of the meeting - I will need professional support for the meeting... stormtroopers might not be enough... death troopers or bounty hunters. Just to make sure that the pirates won't try to do something. The rebels will not attack then - it would result in a three-way battle. No, they will attack after." She walked around the table. "Once the meeting is concluded - or battle after the meeting... then the rebels will strike. That would be the best chance to take them out." She finished.
Zenobia thinks for a moment. "It could be done, but it would ruin both our careers if it failed. I do have a mission here, after all. I could lend you my death troopers, I suppose. Very well. I'll go with your plan." She puts a hand on her chin. "I'll transfer the company if death troopers on the Harbinger to your ship, put out the word, and reinforce you when you give the signal." She reaches out a hand and grabs one of Gailte's nipples through the uniform, twisting it painfully. "Just know that if you fail, you had better hope that you die."
"Mhm~" Gailte slaps away Zenobia's hand and grabs woman's chin. "Worry not - I will survive and face anything that comes after... But, you are thinking the wrong way. Don't think about what will happen should we loose - think about what would happen if we would succeed." Gailte licks her lips and traces her finger down the woman's chin, to her bust. "For better or worse, we are in this together - partners." She moved closer to the woman, pushing her knee between her thighs. "Just think about it. I don't mind playing the role of a slut, making everyone's eyes on me... while you could at that time, work freely, unhindered." She licked her lips and stepped back. Gailte slowly unbuttoned her uniform, showing off her bountiful bust. "And if you need to ascertain your dominance~" she pulled one of the shelves, showing it was full of different sex toys. "I am more than willing to pay my respect."
