Bomb Smuggling

[Songbird]

Judgement sighed as she drummed her fingers on the table she was waiting at. This cantina was too loud, and her mask was drawing too many stares for her liking.
Fresh out of jail, the first thing she did was put out a job offer in her contact network: smuggling illegal goods into Republic space. Explosives, specifically.
One of her contacts had gotten back to her saying she had someone interested, and they would meet her at this cantina.
He was already fifteen minutes late.
The masked woman checked the time once more, before going back to drumming her fingers on the table.

Duncan entered in the Cantina he was meant to meet his new client in. He was wearing a nice white shirt with a pair of black pants he was fifteen minutes late much to his own annoyance Damn that kid for holding me up he thought to himself about a kid that had and failed miserable to con him out some credits. Plus he was eager to meet his new client and get the job started. Looking around he spotted a person matching the description of his new client. He moved to there table and sat. "Sorry for the wait Duncan Voidstar" he said looking at [member="Judgement"] in the face . . . mask holding his hand out to her.

 

[Songbird]

Judgement grunted and took his hand in her own gloved one, shaking it and motioning for him to sit.
"I understand that you wish to make some credits." She glanced around them, making sure that no one was listening.
"I need a ship to take me and some crates into Republic space. Ma'naan, specifically. The crates are waiting at the spaceport, simply show me your ship and I will have them loaded."
She took a deep breath.
"I will pay you 30,000 credits once we arrive on Ma'naan."

Duncan sat and listened to her he looked skeptical the moment the number came out of her mouth. "You would pay me 30,000 credits to take you and some crates to Ma'naan?" He sighed before continuing "I can do it, but if your lying . . ." He didn't specifically threaten her, but he felt it was clear what he meant. Standing he motioned for her to follow as he began to leave the catina.

She bristled at the implied threat, but otherwise did not react as she stood up.
He may be doubtful now,but if the Republic even suspected what they were carrying, jail was likely the last thing they would have to worry about.
She followed him, analyzing him. He seemed trustworthy so far, but Judgement had been betrayed before.
"I hope your ship is fast." She stated. "These goods are very sensitive, and we will likely have to flee from Republic authorities."

"Wouldn't be the first time" was his only comment as he excited the cantina. Soon after he arrived at the spaceport. "That's the Omen" He pointed to his ship as he approached he turned to look at @Judgement. "How long before we can start loading it you have some people that can help and won't questions right?"

 

[Songbird]

She scoffed.
"If I handed a wet crate dripping red to these people, I doubt they would ask questions."
She sent a quick holo, and people began loading crates onto the ship.
"The Omen, hm? Interesting name."
She sighed and crossed her arms.
"How long before we can take-off?"

"Thanks the guy who owned it before named it" he said glancing at [member="Judgement"] before continuing "We can leave once there done." He sighed hoping they would be done soon. He was eager to be done with this job so he could get his credits.

 

[Songbird]

The workers finished loading the crates, and Judgement double-checked them, making sure that no one had looked inside of them, and determined they were unchanged.
She sighed in relief.
"Very well, they are done."
She turned to [member="Duncan Voidstar"].
"We are ready to take-off."

 

[Duncan Voidstar]

Duncan nodded "Yeah let's go" he entered into the Omen and moved left toward the cockpit. He sat in a chair and begin to check systems for launch. He hit the control for the door to close to the outside to close and began preparation for take off once ready the ships engine roared to life and then they left the spaceport flying out of the planet's atmosphere. He looked to [member="Judgement"] before setting the course to Ma'naan. "So what's your name anyway?" he asked not wanting to sit in silence.

 

[Songbird]

"Judgement." She grunted, sitting in the co-pilot's chair.
The masked woman fiddled with a tube for a moment, before lifting it to the small slit in her mask she used to talk and squeezed, feeling the nutrient paste fill her mouth.
"I hate that stuff." She muttered to herself, taking a deep breath of air.

[Duncan Voidstar]

Duncan shrugged thinking it didn't look all Thats tasty either. He glanced at [member="Judgement"] "So that's not your real name I take it?" He didn't think she would actually answer her real name, but didn't think Judgement could actually be her name.

 

[Songbird]

She shook her head.
"No. I had a different name, once, but that woman died when I donned the mask."
Sometimes, she had difficulty even remembering that name. One day she hoped she would forget it.
She ran a hand down her mask.
​"How did you acquire this ship?"
She asked, wishing to steer the topic away from her past.

Duncan nodded watching her run the hand down her mask. "Oh well an old smuggler gave it to me taught me everything I know . . . about smuggling" He paused before continuing "He was done with smuggling, and he decided to retire quite rich too." he spoke of the old man quite fondly "So he gave me the Omen" Duncan said with a shrug.

"I see."
She said simply.
She found herself becoming more comfortable as she spent time on the ship, reminding her of her own days traveling the galaxy with her father.
Judgement hesitated, before making up her mind.
"Before we get to Manaan, you should know what you're smuggling, and why it's so dangerous." She said quietly.
"All four of those crates are packed full of powerful explosives; and the Republic knows I'm coming."

Duncan starred at her He definitely believed she was willing to pay 30,000 credits for that. "What are you going to blow up? Why did you tell me?!" He said starting to get angry as he thought what would happen to him if they were caught. He sighed trying to calm himself down. He wasn't gonna change there course . . . yet.
