[SIZE=12pt]Location: Donus System, Morren City, Palace District[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt] Luxury wasn’t exactly something that Luna had ever gotten the chance to experience in any form during her entire lifetime. Growing up, she had few paths that laid out for her, and none ended in gold dresses or expensive foods. Either ending up as a diplomat, a pilot, or a solider was the only ending paths that the commander had. The military schools she had attended growing up insured that.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt] A long, twisting path had led the redhead to this point in her career. Working as a security coordinator and security guard in her off time from the Confederacy meant that she got to see new systems and planets on a regular basis. Donus was one of newer ones, and if she was being honest, this planet was rising to the top of planets she didn’t feel like she belonged on. In fact, standing in the hanger of the palace district with her squad of bodyguards, each toting a large duffle bag and blaster rifle strapped to their backs, Luna could easily say they stuck out like sore thumbs.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt] They were here to do a job, contracting by the security company that employed them all, but it certainly felt like they were in the wrong place. Fancy dresses, glowing metal droids, and plenty of unnecessary gold littered the hanger as royals and dignitaries milled outside of the luxury liner that they would all be boarding soon. They seemed to be one of the few groups that had the ability to protect themselves if need be. Hopefully there would be absolutely no need for that, but the vast majority of the people that would be on the ship with them and their contractor. Speaking of whom, had not yet seemed to have arrived in the hanger.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt] The redhead looked back at her group, meeting the eyes of the tallest of the group. A broad shouldered, dark skinned human man by the name of Trice, her second in command for this job. “Haven’t seen the pretty little thing, have you?” She remarked towards him, words dripping with sarcasm. He just chuckled, body moving up and down slightly from his laughter and shook his head. “Royals. They never want to work on our time schedule.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt] Rolling her eyes, the commander of the group pulled a datapad off her waistband, turning it on to begin scrolling through the details on their contractor once more, hoping to refresh her memory on what the woman would look like. The briefing came up quickly, and Luna held it up sideways so the squad could center around and read it with her. [/SIZE]

​

[SIZE=12pt] At the end of the briefing, a picture of the woman elected a short whistle from one of the other squamates, prompting a quick elbow to the gut from Luna, grinning the entire time. “Now now Bale, she’s out of all of our leagues. And she’s a job. No falling head over heels for jobs. Understood?” Bale, a shorter, blue-green rodian that only came up to Luna’s shoulder, shook his head in response while giving the redhead commander a quick wink. “Of course not….but if she falls in love with me, who am I do deny that?”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt] From that remark, Trice gave Bale a quick slap to the back of the head teasingly as the commander just proceeded to go back to leaning against the white, marble pillar with intricate designs, waiting for their job to finally show up, as it seemed like the luxury liner could be leaning soon.[/SIZE]

Flying through the skies of Donus was Mira, on board her families personal speeder on way to the Morren City Spaceport. She had been earlier assigned on a diplomatic mission to another systems close to the Donian system in the hope to set up a Donian mining station, simple contracting and purchases of course. Nevertheless, she had been nervous about this adventure knowing the hostile attitude this system had toward the galaxy being a world full of smugglers, pirates, and bounty hunters, scum to be exact.

As the speeder had approached Morren city the massive skyline entered into the horizon, speeders and shuttles lined the skies and ships crossed the sky lanes which resembled the ones on Coruscant. Howls of engines could be heard in the distance from the stretched out sky lanes which crisscrossed the city. Advertisements all alike had also began to become a norm as Morren city began growing to invite more inter-galactic figures into its markets.

Moreover, as the speeder made its final approach into the Spaceport of Morren city, the howls began to calm down as the speeder entered into the massive hanger bay, touching down in the VIP landing site of the royal family. Guards without any question pushed away civilians from the site clearing a small safe zone for the princess to exit. After a minutes wait for the initial safety precautions the speeder doors would open, and the first group of six royal guards would exit. following the guards.. finally was the princess herself Mira, in a stunning tight white dress, she exited.. Truly something from royalty as she left the speeder. The guards bowed to her in respect and led her over to the meeting points. She had only been.. around twenty minutes late, a small detour outside of Morren city with a small conflict between a rodian and ithorian gang battle made approach of Morren city.. a bit difficult as Mira's guards feared approach of the city would be a bit difficult at the time being.

After a moment of crowd control from the guards Mira had finally approached [member="Luna Terrik"] and her team, She nodded to her guards and they took off continuing to keep the crowd away from her and her contracted 'guests'. "I apologize for the wait.. Traffic can be a pain" She smiled, letting out a simple joke to ease any unfortunate tensions caused by the lateness. "My name is Mira-Jin Keen'v, however you all probably know that already.. What are all of your names?" She asked the group of hired guards, physically instructing them at the same time to begin making their way over to the personal transport ship in which her family had already had prepared in this spaceport. A Medium sized corvette, somewhat old too and purchased from the Corellians. The corvette in which she was supposed to use was still in construction by the Donian Industrial Sector and wasn't ready for use yet.

[SIZE=12pt]It was easy to see that their contractor had finally arrived by the royal guards clearing out a large space for a speeder as it landed. That fact was only driven in by the guards exiting the speeder first, which resulted in Luna snapping her fingers twice to quiet her two colleges, making them look up and pay attention. The woman that exited the speeder was admittedly…stunningly beautiful. Even the commander had to admit that, but was easily able to compose her facial features as the woman strode up, hiking the duffle bag onto her shoulder.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The excuse for her lateness was met with soft chuckles from each of the security workers, with the two others allowing the redhead leader to speak and introduce them while they followed closely behind. Luna’s strides quickly fell in step with the other woman, clearing her throat before going through the introductions. “Well, it’s nice to meet our contractor face to face anyway. It’s nice to meet you..Mira.” Luna didn’t know if the royal would mind having her name shortened, but she certainly wasn’t reciting the full name every single time, as it was a mouthful. “For the introductions, my name Luna Terrik. I will be your personal bodyguard who will be spending most of the time with you during out journey. I’ll be doing my best to make sure you have a comfortable, safe journey, and that you barely notice I’m here. The big guy behind me is Trice Merigold. He’s the muscle, and when I can’t be with you, he will be. Otherwise, he’ll be running patrols around our location or assisting Mr. Starry Eyes behind us. Bale Ish is among the smartest rodians in the galaxy and a surveillance mastermind. He gives you and I eyes and ears that we wouldn’t have otherwise.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The pair of security men behind them both gave their hellos, with Bale saying something snide quietly to the taller man, a comment that Luna didn’t quite catch, but was sure she would hurt him for later. Shaking her head once again, firey red hair pulled back into a ponytail shaking back and forth as she focused back to the woman, giving her a soft smile. “We may not look like much, any of us. But we’ll protect you. You won’t have worry, we got your back.” Her little encouragement ended with the commander giving a reassuring pat to the shoulder of the princess. Only one or two, however, as she didn’t was to ruin or smudge Mira’s dress with her dirty gloves. They continued toward the Correllian cruiser, ready to start with the voyage, and hopefully a quiet one. [/SIZE]

Mira smiled as the commander [member="Luna Terrik"] introduced her team, attempting to keep formalities for the first portion, Mira kept a tender smile on her face, obviousily entertained by the group, and happy that the guards who would be protecting her were at least not.. lifeless royal guards like the usual. Nevertheless as Luna finished off Mira looked up to her as before hand she would been inspecting the team while Luna introduced their names. "You may call me Mira.. and you don't have to be formal with me, I.. Appreciate the formality however, my father is the one who requires formality, me on the other hand.. You can be more casual, I enjoy actual company." She would say as she giggled a bit. One thing she had loved.. and hated about being royal is the formalities that people make towards you, however.. ever since her younger years she's always tried to get away from that world, respecting the more casual speak of the average citizen.

As the royal guards finally cleared the path to the Diplomatic ship for Luna's team and Mira to board the ship, Mira nodded to Luna "And its nice to meet you all, I of course appreciate that your services, last time I was on one of these diplomatic ships.. well, Hutt pirates attacked.. I would've been a slave right now if it wasn't for a jedi in the system." Mira said with a laugh following, while maybe not being the best joke, she tried breaking the ice. Moreover she would continue walking the spaceport until she finally arrived at the diplomatic ship walking with Luna's team into the ship through the landing ramp.

As they entered the ship, the door behind would close, the crew of course being the two pilots and translator protocol droid, along with two royal guards. Along with that as Luna's team would've entered they would get to see the luxuries of the diplomatic vessel, of course not being the new and improved envoy ship that was in production in the shipyard at the moment, it was very nice for what it was. For quarters there was the captains quarters.. which was to be used by Mira, then there were two other quarters, one barracks stilled rooms with a shared shower and another personal quarters, those rooms were to be divided between the crew as the voyage to the other system was to at least take a day's travel. Along with all of those rooms was the commons room in which they were in at the moment, inside the commons held a few sofa's to relax on, along with a holotable and holoboard to play games on. it was apparent that the Donian royal family didn't hold back on the commodities when it came to space travel.. which.. wasn't a bad thing for Luna and her team. They got to protect a beautiful princess, get paid for it, and were to ride in style to the location, was there anything wrong with this contract?

"I Apologize about how flashy this ship is.. my family doesn't know what.. light spending is" She would say as she walked to a guard handing him her luggage before the guard lugging it off to her quarters.

[SIZE=12pt]The vibe that the royal gave was really appreciated by the security guard’s leader, even causing her to smile lightly as the smaller woman continued to walk in step up the corvettes loading ramp. “Well, I’m about as casual as you’ll get, Mira. Unless is concerns your safety. Then you’ll find me to be…quite serious.” The redhead gave a slight shrug in the direction of the princess., before finally entering the ship interior, its interior not catching Luna, nor the other two security guards off, well, guard. It was nothing too different from the beautiful ships they had served on before this, whether that be royals or wealthy…less than reputable clients. Though Bale did let out a soft whistle, commenting softly. “Well then. At least I know your money is good now for sure.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The snide remark caused the other two to shake their heads softly, with Luna turning the other two and nodding down the hall. “Alright you two, go get your stuff set down and start going through our checklish. Make sure everything is secure, and get the cameras up. Shoo.” The commander gave each of them a smile as they proceed down the hall, toward the crew barracks. Luna turned back to the princess after dolling out the orders, watching as her bag was taken towards what she assumed was the captain’s quarters. “We’ve all worked on Correllian vessels before, so this thankfully won’t be too new for any of us.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Setting her bag down with a slight thud, containing what could only be assumed was a bunch of security equipment, the commander knelt down to begin rifling through the side pockets until finding a small camera before standing and showing it to Mira. “To move forward with business, sleeping arrangements for the night. Each client has a different preference, so I always try to give options.” She gave the camera a little wiggle before continuing. “Option one; I put this outside your quarters doorway, having Bale or Trice monitor it 24/7. We’ll know everyone that enters or exits your room.” The redhead now lowered the camera, keeping it gripped in her palm as she spoke. “Second option; I spend the night with you, on watch the entire night. Obviously respecting your privacy the entire time. Option three combines both one and two together into a…all security package.” Crossing her arms, the commander now gave the choice to the princess, giving her a reassuring smile as she let her ponder the options. She didn’t want to pressure the young woman, and she felt as though giving her choices was the best way to approach that. [/SIZE]

Mira had smiled as she watched the commander giving out the order to her team, respecting a woman who could command others like that so well. Of course, she was simply fond of any leader, not regarding the gender specifically as it showed strength. "Oh don't worry I know I'll be safe.. and Hmm.." She began thinking, pondering her choices for action. Wondering, which option to go with. Of course she had nothing wrong with having anybody in her room, so she thought plan C would be the smartest, the cameras and a personal guard? What could go wrong there, so she approached [member="Luna Terrik"] and smiled "I'll go with your C option, its the smartest one of-course, and there's no need to respect my privacy, You're my guard so you need to do your job, alright?" She said with a friendly smile. Mira being a good sense of character was able to simply trust Luna even though they had just met, maybe it was the fact she was paying Luna, however she simply thought it was just because Luna seemed to be a good hearted person.

Mira had also requisitioned for the ship in which she was to fly in to have a few more safety measures on it, in the case that.. Pirates or scum tried to attack again. She was prepared this time, and was not going to let any pirate raid her ship again. Likewise, the ship while having a very impressive inside, had also a very decent variation of cannons on the outside. This battery of cannons included 8 laser cannons and 4 Turbolasers, enough to fend off any incoming pirate ships however not enough to fight a capital ship, luckily that was no threat to this ship.

Meanwhile as everyone was talking the corvette had taken off from the starport lifting up and exiting into Donian space before jumping to hyperspace, on its night long course to the next system. Most of the crew had gone to their positions with the engineers in the engine rooms and the pilots in the cockpit, the only ones in the commons were the two royal guards sent to protect Mira, a protocol droid and then finally, Luna's guard detail and Mira. "Alright, well come with me Luna, I'm off to my room to relax" She said as she began walking off to her room "Where are you going to sleep may I ask, shall I make you a bed?" Mira had turned to her genuinely confused on this matter "Do you wish to sleep on my bed? or will you go to your quarters..?"

[SIZE=12pt]Luna could only hope that the princess didn’t see her swallow lightly to regain her composure as the gorgeous woman approached her. Everything about how she carried herself, the regality and seriousness, seemed deliberate to put anyone she came in contact with into a trace. The commander shook her head lightly, clearing her throat to cleanse her mind of any distractions, no matter how powerful the one of having Mira so close to her was. Taking a slight step back, giving her a reassuring smile, she nodded as the princess chose the safest option. “That’s a fine choice. Allows me to be able to keep a…close eye on you.” Luna’s tease was evident, but the moment was cut off as the ship began it’s assent into the atmosphere.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The ship taking off distracted Luna momentarily, as did her observing the milling around of people in the common area. It was nice to have a few extra royal guards with them, as it would make the situation of guarding the princess even easier. Mira’s voice brought Luna out of her thought process, causing her to turn and see that the princess was already halfway down the hall. Kicking herself mentally for getting distracted, the redhead quickly pulled the duffel[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] bag back onto her shoulder and jogged down the hall to meet with the woman.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]As for the sleeping arrangements, her mind raced to think of a compromise to being appropriate with the princess and getting to know her better. Once they entered the bedroom, she couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head at the extravagance of it all. It was…gorgeous. Just plainly gorgeous. The mixes of gold and silver, comfort and regality, everything came together to create a room fit for, well, a princess. Certainly not a rough, solider, security guard however.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Walking over to one of the available couches, the redhead set her bag down lightly beside it before looking over to the princess, smiling softly. “Well, on these types of missions, I won’t sleep too much. Maybe four or five hours. The rest I’ll stay up, keep watch. Patrol the corridor once or twice. Check in on the captain.” Swallowing lightly and clasping her hands in front of her, Luna pondered the options for actually sleeping. “As for those four or five hours…I can always just crash on the couch…though it is not often I get the chance to sleep in the same bed as such a gorgeous woman.” She watched for any reaction from the princess, if there was any, as it would help her understand how the teasing might affect her.[/SIZE]
