“Then this is really possible. Risky and dangerous, but certainly possible. We’ll use the bounty hunter to our advantage. If he gets killed that’s one problem gone. If he decides to attempt to double cross, we can plant an explosive to detonate him and everyone near him. We’d need to disguise it, but if I carry it with me, when he decides to try to capture me, he’ll deliver it right to Zann.” Dannan took a look at Art to confirm he was still unconscious. While people in comas tended to perceive events that went on around them, she was anticipating some minor memory loss to occur after he woke up...she went into her drug cabinet to inject him with a depressant to make sure of that for good measure.
As Gailte speaks, she notices the fighters backing down, flying away. "They're mine. It's all mine. Thank you, mum". @Regin34 Fendrat sees the fighters break away, as the battle ends. Teal begins flying the ship back to the compound.
"Well I'll be." He sighed in relief, "So, this mean you're a crimelord now?" He asked in jest as he lowers his heavy blaster, while approaching Xarrina. "You going to invite the others over, or did you have other plans?"
Art squirms as the needle enters his skin, but stays unconscious. Cyrus takes Danann's hand. "Sounds like a plan. We have small explosives that could work. I'll come with you to meet the bounty hunter." He squeezes her hand.
"The freighter is on its way. I think I'll have to stay here for a while, to sort out the transition of power." She hands him the data chip. "You'll be the one to hand over the information. It should lead to your immediate promotion. Just don't forget to give me credit as well".
"Yes. I'm sending it back with DT". Teal lands, the gangsters making room for the ship to land. "Come down to meet me. I want to see you one more time before you leave. I'm in the throne room".
Dannan squeezed it right back and tighter. It might have been a little odd for two people plotting like this to act so close, but she leaned in to give him a tight hug being mindful of his wounds. “That would be helpful....I think something like a holo communicater would do the trick. It would be the first thing they would want to get rid of. If he remains loyal and does as he’s asked than he has nothing to worry about. Had the deveronian actually trusted me to begin with, I wouldn’t have managed to get one over on him and shockingly, Art did what he was meant to, so he gets to go on living.” If was rare for her to actually explain what she thought to other people, but the logic of how exactly she worked was more clear. If someone was committed to working with her properly, they’d have no reason to worry. If not....
Cyrus kisses her, and grins. "Remind me not to screw you over". He heads to the armoury, planting an explosive inside a commlink. When she's ready, after his shoulder had healed a little, Cyrus leads Danann through the station, up to where the hunter leans against a pillar. When he sees the two of them, his hand darts to his blaster. Cyrus puts a hand out. "Hold on, we just want to talk".
DT-L30 takes the data chip, "Alright, got it." He nods, "Good luck to you, and your new position." He chuckles as he heads out to meet with the ship, leaving Xarrina all alone to wait for her mother.
She couldn’t help but flash a...complicated look. One of almost seething rage, but also...embarrassment? She could still remember that night imprinted on her body. She had thought about it a lot, in fact. Not necessarily just as a completely bad memory either. “If we wanted to pick a fight with you, I wouldn’t be approaching you myself.” She wasn’t the best at smoothing over situations, but hunters still had a sense of logic and were generally more concerned with profit if the job seemed good. Naturally, he was going to be wary of her. Naturally, she was wary of him too. “If you at least hear out the job offer, I will not take any action against you. If you accept, you may find yourself with more money than you could possibly need or know how to spend.” She specifically kept to the word “I”, but didn’t call attention to it as she waited to hear a response.
As he enters the ship, he sees Teal standing over Loreley, who lies unconscious with a bandage over her head. Tarrik is standing close by. @unisol_gr44 Loreley feels her eyes flutter open as she regains consciousness. The first thing she sees is her cousin looking at her with concern. Then she sees Tarrik, with a similar expression. The next thing is DT entering the room.
She can't see his expression through his helmet, but he loosens up a little. "What's the job?" Despite earlier being overwhelmed with lust for her, he's businesslike now.
"I'll be right there." Gailte answers. Right after the ship lands, she makes her way to the throne room.
She sees Xarrina, talking with the Twi'lek majordomo. The bounty hunter that fucked her mouth glances at Gailte as he leaves the room, his visor broken. Behind Gailte's daughter is the gutted corpse of Kita the Hutt. Xarrina dismisses the Twi'lek. When the room is empty, the Zabrak rushes up to Gailte, hugging her.
“Zann. A number of people are interested in seeing him gone. I’m sure, he already has more than a few contracts out for him, but nobody has had a chance to collect on any of them or get close enough. You could. All the credits for his bounty are yours, plus a sizeable gift from us, and a promise of a steady flow of work, that you will probably not even need.”
The hunter thinks for a moment. "Okay. I want a million credits for the job. What's the plan?" Cyrus explains what their intentions are. After a while, he says to Danann, "Zann just went to Mari's room. Alone."
Gailte hugged her daughter. "From academy student, through member of secret society, to crime lord... I will have to revise my upbringing methods." She joked as she embraced her daughter.
“Then we got to make our move now.” Getting everything underway, the group had set their destination on Zann’s hideout. She had to explain to a few of the guards her business was to see Mari after throwing around some medical words she knew they wouldn’t understand and waited for clearance, with the hunter alongside her.
"How could I be anything but great, coming from such a great woman?" She laughs, getting some of Kita's wine and drinking from the bottle. "It got a little weird for a bit, when he told us to..."
