Level 1313​

Coruscant​

​

​

Very rarely does the rain find it's way to level 1313, and when it does it comes in the form of small waterfalls falling over the many and varied structures from high until the water reaches the surfaces. The pools of toxic water gather in patches along the streets before finding it's way into the gutters to be transported to the water treatment facilities, then to be filter and issued to the poorer quarters around Coruscant. The endless grey light on this level, put's it in a constant state of grey the only form of colour coming from the various windows of the residencies and even then they are tasteless and dull.


The waitress moved around the room delivering drinks to the sentient beings attending a small party in the back area of one of the more up market bars on level 1313. Her eyes darted around the room as if looking for something or someone but as yet had not located the being she was waiting for. She had to be patient, it is the key to success on assignments like these and Coci had plenty of patience. She is playing her 'part' well, even smiling and flirting with some of the patrons, which is a rare thing for her, but she will do what she must.

Underneath her uniform, a white tight fitting shirt and a black flowing short skirt, are concealed two small pistols strapped to her tights. This is not an assignment for the White Mouse, a weapon she feels more comfortable with, but she is just as good with the pistols. But these are not her only weapons, her hair pulled up in a style neatly around her head are pinned together with four zenji needles, lethal weapons in their own right.

Her tray now empty she walks back into the main bar area, for the moment the party goers are in no need of drinks, and so she will attend to the main bar patrons. Her eyes always on the main door watching everyone entering and leaving the premises. But yet the target had not appeared.

She is summon by a small table toward the back of the main bar .. she moves to take their orders.

 

[Kahne Porte]

Little did they know, the man was already there. Just on the occasional need did he ever venture deep down into this level, more wretched than some would have thought. The Jedi never had any trouble down here save for one time long before he had his memory loss, back when he was a Jedi Knight, dealing with a Bounty Hunter which was quite the tale to tell. It sometimes never get old, even for some who have heard it before. Today however was no different, just the same as any other day. Not everyday was he requested to meet in a place like this.

There was a first for everything.

A Jedi Master he was, sitting towards the back, right next to the table that had happened to call upon her. He didn't acknowledge a bit, more so keeping his stance and distance despite how close they were now. After the message was received the Jedi wasn't going to take any chances, especially in a place such as this. There wasn't anything here that he wouldn't be able to handle. Kahne had much training and wasn't going to get caught in some sort of trap. The matter was still in his mind as he lightly puffed on the pipe, the candle burning next to him as he leaned back easily enough and his mind and body at much ease. There was still many questions in his mind and those wouldn't be answered until he finally had a chance to speak with the girl who called upon him.

Kahne moved his glass forward just a little bit just as soon as he was done. "A glass of Corellian Whiskey, I would be much obliged."

As Coci finished taking the orders from the small group at the table, the corner of her eye caught the slight movement of a glass as it was pushed forward out of the darkness of the shadows into the dancing light of the candle. A low but strong voice asked for a refill, the only thing visible was a dark figure and a spirally column of smoke, that is all she could see of the man at this point. She bowed her head slightly to group and moved closer to the back table to take up the used glass. As she leaned over slightly, her hand reaching to remove the glass, she noticed his image in the reflection of the light on the glass top of the table. It was the Jedi Master she had contacted to meet her here, however she made no indication that she recognised him.

"Oh a man of taste, I shall bring you a fresh Corellian Whiskey promptly", she said with a smile still play her role. Coci returned to the bar, again her eyes on the entrance, she started to wonder if her information had been correct and that the target was due to arrive this night. Behind the bar, Coci poured the drinks for the small group and one whiskey. With her back to the bar, she placed them on the tray, a napkin under each drink, under the Corellian Whiskey she place a chip which contacted a file for the Jedi to access .. she hoped he had something on him to be able to read it.

She returned to the small group and placed each drink down with the napkin under their glasses on the table. Moving over to the shadowed figure she place one glass filled with ice and a second filled with the whiskey, under the napkin was the chip.

"You appear to be a man of many stories, and after many a drink once always finds a good story at the bottom of glass", she said quietly but in jest to him, but it was loaded with a message. She walked away to attend to the room.

If he could access the file, he would discover information about a known criminal working out of Coruscant, a warehouse in the industrial quarters is used as a transit point to move illegal drugs and slaves to all part of the galaxy, from right under the noses of the Galactic Republic. The man due to arrive this evening, is the target, Nicolas Vesh a Coruscanti, socialite and business man and he is the reason she had contacted Jedi Master Porte. Nicolas Vesh, is the very image of the Jedi Master. The reason the Vesh can be so bold as to work out of Republic planet, is that he is said to be in partnership with a Republic Representitive to the Senate who's job is to make sure that the authorities do not come looking around.

Coci is assigned to find out if all the information is correct, locate the warehouse and the identity of the Representitive. She also needs to find a place and a means to speak to the Jedi Master alone.

 

[Kahne Porte]

Kahne took the drink that had arrived an in easy fashion a hand rose on top over the napkin and slid it towards the end of the table just at his waist as the napkin was picked up by one hand and used to wipe the side of his face, the other held the chip as it fell into his other hand after the pipe was placed down. The Jedi Master reached for the datapad in his side pocket and pulled it out and placed the chip inside and soon the light lit up the features on his face as he looked over, his finger casually touching the screen sliding information over and over as he took the whole idea in. Kahne stoop up placing everything non challantly back in his pock of his robes and he took one last puff of his pipe before placing it down.

He walked over to the girl and in a attempt to make it look less suspicious and more of just a fling that he was fixing to get into. He walked up to her and leaned in and kissed her on the cheek gently and placed some credits in her apron and whisphered in the ear.

"I like what I see, meet me on the roof in 10 minutes."

While there was little opportunity, it would just be a short meeting. If this individiual was to show up, he would be here for a lot longer than ten minutes. Perfect opportunity to discuss this in and quick yet easy manner.

She had just placed the drinks on a table for some patrons, when the Jedi Master approached her. Coci turned to him just as he placed a kiss on her cheek and whispered in her ear, ah clever, she thougth. She would 'play her part' well enough, as she turned move to watch him walk away, her eyes looking him over as if sizing up her prize for the night. A smile filled her face as she reached into her apron pocket and took out the credits her placed there, making a small show of the delight of earning some extra coin.

Coci walked back to the bar and placed the empty tray down, and winked at the bar keeper that had 'hired' she for the event this night. "I have an appointment with that fine gentleman", she said with a flirty tone. "Cover for me will ya", she said as she made a show of undoing her buttons to expose some cleavage. She straightened her hair and pretended to check her face in the mirror behind the bar. The bar keep began to protest having not hired her for 'entertainment' for the patrons. "Oh come on now, I want be gone that long, and you don't want to deny a girl the chance to earn a little pocket money? besides, he looks to be the type that it will be all over before it has began", she wink again.

Before he could protest further, Coci removed her apron and placed it behind the bar and walked to the back of the room and the stair well to the roof. She pushed open the door only to be greeted by a brisk wind. She only walked a few paces as her eyes scanned for any sign of the Jedi.

 

[Kahne Porte]

The Jedi Master moved towards the back giving no mention or acknowledgment to those that he passed, even though they obviously did so with him. He wasn't here for their pleasure or gain, but much more for something and someone else. Making his way towards the roof as he pushed the door open the Jedi was greeted by the ever friendly wind. Which always seemed to compliment and ease the Jedi' masters mind. A few moments had passed as the Jedi walked towards the edge of the roof and just stared down at the inhabitants of this level. There was so much corruption and dark covering this area, that he often wondered how this place continued as it did. And then he was always reminded by his own mind that the darkness had its way of growing, much more than the light did.
He heard the door open and he felt the familiar presence of the one he gave the light kiss on the cheek as his hands remained at his sides just staring off into the distance.

"You play the game rather well, I applaud you." The Jedi said easily enough as he turned to look at her. "How can I help you, Miss....?" The Jedi inquired, as to her name.

Not entirely convinced his comment was a compliment, she grin slightly. "I am well trained", she simply said. "Miss Coci Sinopi, Agent for the G.I.A. However, tonight I am known as .. " she grinned more, "Hunni Knightly".

Coci moved over to where the Jedi Master is standing, "Master Porte", of course she knew his name, "To business, I assume you were able to access the files on the chip. You will have noticed an uncanny likes between your good self and the target .. Nicholas Vesh. Moreover, the G.I.A has assigned me to verify the intelligence that a Representative of the Senate is aiding Vesh with the transfer and transport of the slaves from Coruscant. My intelligence suggests that Vesh will be meeting with the Representative after this function in the bar".

She turned to look at the Jedi Master now as she continued. "I need your assistance .. I need you to .. 'take the part' of Vesh. After he arrives this evening, we need to get him alone, disable him and make the swap. You as Vesh will then go to the meeting with the Representative and once the evidence is clear we can arrest them both", she looked to him to see any reaction to this, or if he had other means to achieve the goal. There are many things to go wrong with the plan and each step needs to take carefully, including how she was going to follow or join the 'group'.

 

[Kahne Porte]

Kahne bowed his head slightly, then held his hand out to Coci. "A pleasure, Coci Sinopi." Kahne nodded his head in her reference to accessing the files from the chip."Of course, slavery is a terrible business. It would be a pleasure to help in this endeavor." He said with a smile. "Oh, and Hunni, Kahne will do just fine." Given her the subtle hint that she could call him Kahne if she desired.

The Jedi took a deep breath as she stood next to him and a hand rose to his chin and the task was now to get the switch to happen and take his place. The Jedi glanced back to Coci and then a thought came to mind. "You, if I may say so, are a intelligent beautiful woman, perhaps you could use that to your advantage once he arrives. Lure him someplace to make him think he's getting, should I say lucky." Kahne chuckled lightly and then cocked his head to the side. "From that point we can seize him and the switch can then happen."

"Maybe then be disguised as my associate, or wife whichever part of this charade you think would work out best as we meet with the Representative?"

"Hmm that might work", she thought about his suggestion. "It will be difficult however, as most of the night I have been seen as waitress", she thought more on the situation. Coci began to pace around the roof thinking about the logistics of this. They had a plan, and for the most part it would work, but some parts they would just have to wing it. Then a smile formed on her face, she had a plan to get him out of the party, part what Kahne had suggested and part implementing her infamous Corellian constitution to for drinking people under the table.

"I will do it, and suggest that we find a more private place to 'continue the night', in that way we get him out onto the street and we can make the switch .. and then for the meeting with the representative". She walked with a quick pace back to the Jedi Master and looked him over as she slightly twisted her skirt, and pulled out her tucked in shirt. She raised her hand to her lips and smeared her lips stick a little. With some of the lip stick on her fingers her moved to Kahne and smeared some on his lips, loosened his hair a little and untided some of his clothes, lastly she untided her hair and let it fall around her shoulders .. messing it up with her fingers.

"I think that will do it. Shall we go?". She said with a grin.

Meanwhile, down stairs in the main room of the party, Nicholas Vesh had arrived with two beautiful woman in his arms. One, a Coruscanti with black hair and eyes to match and in a red dress only designed to accommodate modesty to a low level. The other a blue Twi'lek dressed similar to the first. Coci was going to have her work cut out for her, however the she could, if she could manger take the place of the Coruscanti woman as they are the same size and build. Vesh .. dressed in his finest suit made of silk, perfection in his grooming and roamed around the room as if he owned the building .. everyone there wished to speak to him at some point, he is charming and charismatic and knows it.

 

[Kahne Porte]

A small chuckle escaped his lips after the lipsticks was smeared on his lips as they both were starting to look the put. The beginning would prove to be the challenge. Getting Vesh away from the two females he had arrived with. But in Kahne's mind, given from his own opinion on how beautiful Coci was, he would be drawn to her rather easily. He would just have to get rid of the two rivals. "You know..." Kahne said in a teasing manner, as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Pulling her close to him as they were about to make the descent back into the chaos. "You could have just kissed me, and it would have probably smeared better." Kahne joking lightly, just before they were about to enter.

"You ready to get this show on the road?" Kahne said looking to her with a small smile on his face.

"I could have", she said matching his smirk, "However, Jedi Master what I did works just a well, but wishful thinking is allowed ... lets do this". She opened the door to the party room again. Her demeanor changed again, to suit the 'role'. They had only walked back in side a few paces before she stopped him. In a show for the eyes that may have seen them leave, she moved close to him, placing one hand on his shoulder she moved close to his ear to whisper. To anyone looking it would be seen as a girl making promises to keep.

"I will go back to serving drinks for a while before engaging the target .. .. he is here, seated near the side wall to the right", she said before she pulled back from the side of his face and running a finger along the line of his jaw with a big smile on her face. Coci made her way to the bar to get her apron and tray. The bar keep now working hard and paid her no attention, if he did he would be greatful for her return, as the party had hit it height and the place is pack. The music from the band adding to the atmosphere and the party goers are enjoying the evening.

Coci made her way to a table near to Vesh and took orders for a two people, she looked over to Vesh and took in the situation. Two woman on either side of him, played on every word he spoke as he entertained the people around him with his charm.

 

[Kahne Porte]

Good thing the Jedi were magicians, Kahne mused as he made his way to the bar and once he casually glanced over to where Vesh was sitting and he himself looked over the situation with a small glance and then nonchalantly face the front once more requesting a drink from the bartender as he cleaned himself up a little bit, just slightly. Kahne knew all he had to do was introduce Coci to him and he was more than sure her charm would do the work to get him in the back. The Jedi raised the glass to his lips and titled it up slightly as he took a long sip of the whiskey and then turned around as he leaned back against the bar. He took a deep breath and then his hand moved just barely his mind fixated on the woman at his side. He was listening to the conversation clearly enough, with a well trained ear as the force technique worked easily enough as two of the girls stood up and moved towards the bar as if their interest had clearly moved away from Vesh and was fixated on something else. Kahne took another drink as he waved for another drink as his opportunity was there and he was to take full advantage of it. A drink for Vesh, a friendly gesture as he took the now unoccupied seat that the two women had taken at his side.
Kahne said as he placed the drink in front of him, clearly making his presence known. "They vacated I decided to make a trip, my name is merely Ducard. You are man of opportunity, the right opportunity is coming to you I see." Kahne leaned back and took another drink from the cup and as he was doing that his index finger rose slightly indicating the next phase in his plan that involved getting the girls away from him so that Coci could make her move. "I've looked forward to meeting you for quite some time."
