First Reply Totally Legal Stuff for Sale

[Kaaba and Mi]

Location: Phaseera

A strange mass of sand darted through the trees with as an angry Rodian tried to catch it. Sand however wasn't easy to keep a grip of, and just seemed to flow out of reach every time. She just couldn't catch the blasted thief.... Well technically thieves. but no way she'd know. Once it seemed safe the mass of crystalline particles formed into a humanoid appearance. Kaaba and Mi.

"Told you we'd outrun her."

"Still feel a little bad about it, but this might get enough credits to not stowaway on a ship for once." Mi held up the datapad. It was a nice one. She started checking through, making sure there was nothing personal before resetting the device. Kaaba meanwhile slid his arm into a hole to pull out a blanket and filled with more stuff. He nodded, the shared mass between them forming legs.

"Let's just hope someone wants to buy some stuff and not ask too many questions." The pair made their way to the ports, setting up their blanket and collection of stolen good. Some of it they weren't really sure what they were, but it had to be worth a lot right. At least enough for a ticket out of here. Plus since hardly anyone knew what a Lervon was here, at least hey figured not many, they could just pass as one being and get one ticket. Either way though, the twins just had to wait and see.

A large TZ-15 shuttle entered the orbit of the planet Phaseera, breaking through the upper atmosphere. The ship was accompanied by two Z-95 starfighters that flanked either side of the ship. The vessel hissed and groaned as it broke through the lower levels of the atmosphere, the tracking transponder that was inside of the shuttle began to ping more sporadically, a sign they were nearing their destination. The three vessels carved their way through the air, hovering just above the twins with their stolen goods at the port.

The repulsorlift groaned and hissed as the large shuttle landed just a handful of meters away from the twins and their cargo. The trees in the surrounding area were blown back as the two starfighters engaged their landing sequences as well, landing on either side of the shuttle. A tense and cold silence filled the air for a moment until an intense steam bellowed from the hydraulics of the shuttles as the blast doors came open. Out of the cockpits of the two starships came two thugs of varied species, each carrying blaster rifles and wearing light armoring. From the main shuttle came two IG-RM guard droids as they marched forward, each fitted with rifles of their own. Their heads whirred as they scanned the surveying area whilst the alien thugs kept their eyes peeled on the twins, giving them a cold glare.

Finally the whirring sound of a Hutt hoversled could be heard as the drawbridge of the shuttle was lowered, extending downwards to touch the surface. Out from the shuttle came a giant Hutt with dark black skin and yellow spotting. Accompanying the Hutt was his personal 3P0 translator droid which remained at his side whilst he hovered his way downwards towards the twins. Taking a few puffs from his pipe, the end of it began to glow as the large slug bellowed out a cloud of smoke. His large eyes lazily blinked, looking over to his translator droid before slapping it on the back, knocking the droid by surprise a few paces closer towards the twins.

<< "The mighty Jutteth Besadii has reason to believe you have illegally come into possession of a very valuable item, and his eminence would like if it was returned to him immediately. >>

The droid hastily spoke, looking to the pair of twins while holding up a tracking chip, making synonymous pings with a heavily armored cache among the thieves' possession.

Kaaba and Mi had been able to sell some of the smaller bobbles they had, but were soon caught by surprise at the larger ship landing nearby. They were quick to move in and shift over their makeshift stall, making sure nothing flew away before seeing the Hutt's sled and droid come towards them. They'd reconstitute themselves into a humanoid form, though their faces notably only seemed to be their eyes, and their torses seemed to sprout from the same legs. They then heard the droid speak up, and note they had something that belonged to the Hutt, Jutteth Besadii apparently. Could hear the pinging from both the tracker and the box they'd found. Kaaba soon spoke up, his voice emotionless like all Lervon, but a sense of worry could be felt by any Force sensitive that happened to be around.

"This is your lock box? We never realized, and of course no one wants to get on the bad side of a hutt." As he said this, Mi would stretch over to grab the box, slowly grabbing it and bringing it closer to the hutt and droids, with here and Kaaba passing a few words in whispery Lerdos, their species' native, ghostly tongue. Mostly worrying between each other about what the hutt might do.

"We were never able to get it open anyway. No clue what's in it." Mi said, her own voice lacking emotion. The pair honestly just hoped the hutt wouldn't try to kill them or something.... of course he could just not know how. Not like their kind were common outside of their homeworld.

<< I do believe that would be wise, the mighty Jutteth is not very patient.. >>

The 3P0 replied as two of the thugs came forward towards the twins with their rifles in hand. One would appear to be holding another decently sized crate which appeared to be very heavy as they made their way directly in-front of the twins. The armored thug that was holding the large crate was a decently sized nikto, displaying a jagged and rough appearance with scarring littered over his face. The other directly to his right was a trandoshan comparable in size but appeared to have a more aggressive temperament, making an odd clicking noise in his mouth as he stared add the very unique pair of twins of an unknown origin. They were both intrigued by the composition of the two, having an odd appearance that they had never yet come across, even amongst the far reaches out of the Outer Rim and the expanses of Wild Space.

A lingering sense of tension filled the air as the guards stood in-front of the twins, whether or not this would turn into a shootout or a simple transaction was entirely up to the large Hutt, which remained some meters back, scratching his head slightly as his eyes lazily stared forward towards the pair and their batch of illegal goods. After some moments of deafening silence, Jutteth finally spoke; his voice carried a deep, resounding boom, putting the 3P0 droid to a swift attention. Judging from the droids nervous mannerisms, it appeared to be a frequent victim of the Hutt's abuse.

" Koong te malota. Chu kownoo nolia danago..."

<< The mighty Jutteth demands that he see the contents of the cache before any money can be given. >>

Jutteth stared forward towards the pair as they made their decision, his large slitted pupils growing in size slightly. He'd take another long drag from his pipe before dispelling more smoke into the air. He did not appear to be bothered by their strange appearance as much as he was ready to have the cache returned to him. The nikto thug holding the crate lowered it to the ground as it made a large thud. The trandoshan gripped his blaster rifle tightly, lifting it up slightly to show the twins that they meant business. The 3P0 droid took a few small paces back, turning it's head between Jutteth and the twins to see how things panned out.

The twins were clearly not hat comfortable with the guards and larger box. This didn't seem great, but the staring was at least normal for them. Kaaba also picked up on the droid not seeming quite happy with its work. And then the hutt said he wanted to see inside the cache. The twins looked at each other before Mi quickly placed the box in front of the thugs, before pulling back, and staying close to her brother.

"Like I said, we never could open it.... Some really good tech, sir. But... your guys will have to open it." Honestly wasn't much they could do but hope the hutt wouldn't try to kill them or something like that over a crate of who knows what.

The nikto thug hastily grabbed the cache as it was slid over to him, lifting it up before carefully bringing it over back towards the Hutt. One of the guard droids that stood beside Jutteth grabbed the cache from the thug, entering a numbered sequence with it's mechanical fingers. After the sequence code was entered, the lights of the cache began to flash a green color, signaling it was ready to be opened. With a twist of the lid, a loud hissing sound emanated from the strange cache, dispelling out a cold steam similar in composition to nitrogen gas. With extreme care and precision, the droid carefully extracted a transparent tube which appeared to have a blue crystal in the center. The odd crystal was volatile in appearance, shifting into various different shapes as the tube itself began to rattle. Jutteth's pupils dilated slightly, appearing to be pleased with the contents of the cache. With a wave of his hand, he'd have the odd looking crystal returned to the cache before being brought back onto the shuttle.

While the cache was brought into the shuttle, the trandoshan took a couple paces past the twins, ripping off the large cover placed over the rest of the goods the pair was selling. Rummaging through the merchandise, hastily and without much care he tossed things off to the side, grabbing a few small items before stuffing them into the pockets of his jacket. Turning back over to face the twins, the large thug gave them a toothy smile with his razor sharp fangs, which appeared to be filed down even sharper than usual, getting face to face with them now. He'd spit on the ground just in front of the two before speaking.

"Pleassssure doing bussinessessss with ya..."

As he turned to make his way back towards the ship, he'd kick over the large crate as the lid was tipped off, a large pile of credits spilled out onto the ground below of various denominations. The two thugs let out a couple laughs as they both returned to their respective starfighters. Jutteth, who was turning back to enter his ship, tossed a small communication pad over, landing on top of the mass of credits that littered the ground below.

"Cheski pakota. Klees Jabba royu moko nayee boopa. Chego ya dona. Ka yatta blinkee me kooka."

<< His excellence says, if you two fancy yourselves thieves and want a chance to make some real credits, he will be in contact. Consider this first gracious offering a down payment for future work. >>

The droid gave the twins a respectful nod before turning around, shuffling it's feet to rejoin the group that was now departing off the planet.

The two sat and watched, not wanting to challenge the hutt’s goons, and not sure why he’d care so much about a blue rock, but they were soon surprised by one thing.

“Credits?”

“A lot of credit…. And… maybe more work….” The pair looked at each other, then back at the thugs, droid, and hutt as they headed back to the ships.

“Wait. How would you find us for these jobs?”

The 3P0 droid stopped briefly in response to the pairs questions, turning back around to face them.

<< Keep that data pad close beside you, if his excellence has need of your services he will reach out. The pile of credits you see in-front of you is nothing compared to what a relationship with the Hutt Cartel can provide. We will be in touch, enjoy the fruits of your spoils for now. >>

With that, the shuttle doors closed behind the droid as it re-entered the craft, a deep rumbling emitted from all three ships as they began to hover off of the surface, moments after taking off before leaving the planet.

The pair looked on, quickly collecting up the credits before Mi began to work on setting up the datapad for them to use. Maybe this wouldn’t be all that bad. It seemed like the hutt was maybe even kind of impressed. Either wait. This could be the start of something… a little better for the young twins.
