Katarina look suprised at Sasha mention about admiral Thrawn. That ship was his? " Wait, wait, wait. You tell me, that was great admiral Thrawn?! Great stratigan, secend hand of Empire?" She started laughting, first muffled, than uncontrol. "And we managed to escape him? Ha ha ha, that is good one. Ha ha ha."
"Well, yes, and no. As I said, there have been changes in the empire. As such, we will need to speak in person. Unless you want anyone that can hack into our comms frequency to also learn of our discussion!" Sarah replied, still wearing a confident grin.
"Attacking any Side without knowing who comes out on top is foolish. For now we wait and see what develops."
"Of course I would invite you, my dear admiral. You are to be one of my pillars, after all." The Queen nodded lightly to the old man. "I see that you meet Duchess Paonga." She asked, her head moved slightly to look at the said woman.
"The former Captain liked to use many toys~" a smile formed on her lips, her breathing slowly evened. Her eyes were now looking sharply at Orson, taking note of his every move.
"That was his ship, but was he on board?" Sasha shook her head. "I don't know," She started slowly. "He is known to let go of small fry that doesn't interest him. That was how it happened during the Batonn sector insurgency... and a few others."
Rook nodded. "So first, we make sure that one enemy is down, before going after the other, yes?" She hummed. "What are your plans for recruitment, my lord? We do need more forces if we want to win this city."
Katarina chuckled and rise her empty cup. She realised what she do and fil it again by coffe. "So, I'm glad that he not take us as thread. I don't whish being hunted by one of most genius commander of Empire." She said and drink, looking on the watch, how long time they have to waiting yet.
"Good, I'll meet you there." Sarah replied with a nod, before cutting off the communication. Once she was sure it was over, she looks at Panza. "Do we have any storm trooper armor here?"
Will noticed her look. "We have yet ten minutes, to landing." He said calmly. "What will be the first problem, we shall tackle... except the landing fee?"
"Indeed I did." Daltar smiles. "I see that on Naboo, people move fast. I'd barely been in orbit for a few hours when she invited me to a party." Daltar speaks in such a way as to indicate suspicion of the duchess, without outwardly accusing her of anything.
"Unfortunately, no." Panza shook his head. "The ship is mostly stacked with some supplies, navy equipment, but lacking in personnel equipment."
The tone he took, seemed to calm the Queen. "That was a powerplay. She entered the ballroom with a man that holds about third of Naboo's fleet. In a way that gave a statement to other people in power about where you stand." The woman looked at the admiral. "Such a sneaky little vixen. Be careful of her, Admiral."
"Repair hole in the ship and hyperspace. But I wonder we will have to work somehow that, because I expected it will to hight prize for you to pay."
"Ah, I see." He nods. "Forgive me, I grew up as a noble, but I've spent so much time on a ship that such things are a surprise to me. I'll have to work on keeping my cards closer to my chest, next time." The admiral feigns ignorance of politics. "Still, perhaps it wouldn't be the worst thing for us if the Duchess were to consider me an ally. In any case, an opening move has been launched against the moff." He keeps his voice down, so others can't hear.
Sasha winced. "Yeah... paying for the ship damages is one thing..." She paused. "Unless you have hidden stash somewhere on the ship, we will have to make some money for the parts..." She said dejectly. "Or we could open a moisture farm!" Will said with a laugh.
"Good~" The woman purred hearing about the actions taken against the Moff. The Queen considered his words for a moment. But then, she shook her head. "Allowing her an illusion is giving her ideas. No, it's better to let her know her place~" She paused. "Can I count on you instilling in her some fear of imperial regime?" She asked, a knowing, slightly sadistic smirk on her face.
Katarina chuckled. "Well, I have few ideas how to make more money, but no one of them is good." She get serios. "I could try to wagner something and take part in the races of speeders, states here could be realy hight, if I win." She drink coffe. "Or... Sasha and I will be working as dancers, to earn money slower but without risk."
The admiral nods. "Of course, though I'd have to know more specifically what you had in mind." Hmm, so it's not just power she gets off on, but inflicting pain? Not exactly my thing, but it could be useful to know.
