Wu had done some research and clearing houses were mostly.... rare... they relied to much on reputation of a single person who oversaw it and were either small or mobile. "I did some reading of pirates and a clearinghouse isn't exactly easy but they are more trading outposts. Neutral ground and only violence is in protecting it." She said it but there was something about it and research into something like this could be strange but there were some instances of jedi teams exploring and stumbling across it or chasing a smuggler and they get lured into a trap for it. "But they rely on the reputation of whoever is running it, if they appear weak then the pirates around have no reason to try and obey their laws."

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Kurenai put her arms away for the time being, looking back to Wu as she explained their current situation, "so we are basically at a smuggler like area, just for pirates, interesting, still, even if it is neutral ground we are probably considered enemies by everyone on that outpost". Either way she looked at it this place was not the location to wind up in, even if she herself was a former mercenary, and could have very well come here and walked around scot free. "Would we be able to fool them? make them think this is our ship or something along those lines? I would rather not attract the attention of everyone in the sector if possible".

Wu was looking at her and she tapped her chin in thought. "Ahh well we could do that.. I mean disguise ourselves as former slaves who are tough as nails cause of whatever has been done and now are taking over this ship." She nodded her head, there were examples of that happening in the galaxy after all and usually if something like that happened it didn't mean they went home... you needed a profession so... "Just need to hide this saber." She looked at herself and then at KUrenai and then back at herself concealing it in her cleavage for a moment before nodding and picking up a blaster. "Now lets just hope we can get out of here or slink away from the clearing house."

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

"Former slavers"? She looked at Wu with a cocked eyebrow, something about this felt, familiar, she was quick to shake her head and focus back on the mission. Well it wasn't hard to lie that, there were still a decent number of pirates on this ship, even if contributing to such a trade went against her ethical code a little these guys deserved it more then anyone else. Who knows they may wind up being constructive for whoever buys them, quite the irony come to think of it, a small chuckle escaping her lips. As Kurenai turned she face Wu once more, watching as went about hiding her saber in quite the interesting palace, "be careful, some people may be interested in that area more then you think, but not a bad idea". Though in her case the operator armor she wore had many pouches, Kurenai transforming her saber into it's stun baton form and holstering it, a tool any 'slaver' would have with them. "Time to sell some products then I guess".

She looked at her and yeah it might be distasteful but there was a lot they should be able to do here. MOving around though without being attacked by a massive group would be helpful though and they could learn as much information as possible. "It won't be ideal but not being attacked and if we are able to play it right.. maybe liberate some of the ill begotten gains to return to the people or people who have been taken." WHere she was going though was down the ramp. The people waiting at the bottom were guards but they didn't give a problem more were checking their information. "You are not the captain of the Nova." He said it and she could see their hands visibly tightening on their weapons. "No... we killed him when he got handsy and took over the ship. I am Saya and this is Yumi the new leaders of this ship." She said it putting an arm around KUrenai and assuming she still had her large cannon and armor... they could be quite the intimidating pair."

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Yes, not the best of plans but it wasn't the worst to come about, at the very least there was a bit of truth to it, maybe her old name, the Crimson Shadow, still held some sway around here, doubtful but you never knew. "Sounds like a plan and to be honest with a ship this large we could store quite a lot of cargo with ease, more so since the ship now only had 2 people running it unlike the hundred or so but a few minutes ago". Grasping her LMG Kurenai followed behind WU as the ship came down to dock, adjusting her operator class armor as the ramp descended onto the platform, slowly coming behind WU as she started talks with some man. "Yes I am Yumi, but I also go by the name Crimson Shadow, just a merc on the job, what ever Saya says I do", it would be best to put on the act that Wu was her current employer, made more sense they here just tatting along on some deal for no real reasons.

There were looks but a shrug. The two being able to move around as Wu was walking and watched some of the other pirates who were around. They looked normal enough. THe halways of the clearing house were large and filled with the remains of mining droids, others sitting there and different techs salvaging parts. The lights of the facility operational and showing them everything around the rooms. Pirates and others, larger rooms with auctions and items beign sold off. The jedi master could see it as some had slaves, some had different species from around the galaxy when she stopped and they were let into one of the rooms a bar where others were standing around and drinking. "Well this looks nice."

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Seemed the pirate bought the explanation, or just didn't care... probably the latter, such areas what you were didn't matter, what you did tended to earn attention. As long as the duo didn't do anything stupid most of the people here would leave em alone, out of disinterest or fear of being beaten up if they started crap. "Nice? maybe, I've seen worse, but also better, it passes, as pirate bases go.... slavery on the other hand, *sigh*, not much we can do without breaking cover". "That is unless we buy them, then kill the slaver and take all the money back, wouldn't be the first time I've done something like that", reminded her of the night out with great grandmother, even if things were a little different. "We should focus on our main goal though, put that as a secondary objective for later, if we have time". Kurenai pushing Wu forwards a little faster through the pirate infested space station

Wu had to agree with her, they couldn't do much as much as she would like to say they would be stopping them.. or saving the day. The two of them were strong... stronger then most maybe but it wouldn't do a whole lot of good against an entire stations. THe jedi master was going through the bar area and she slipped into one of the rooms checking it out. There wasn't anyone in there just some old terminals and a hallway going down deeper into the mines. Sections of the station not often used but the lighting was still fine, decommissioned mining droids had been set in here and cannibalized for different parts. She was motioning for it when she spoke. "We might not be able to save them for now, things could change but unless we can also take ships... we could be overwhelmed with a lot of pasengers sad to say... the supplies and logistics wouldn't make it practical or safe.."

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

"Steal a ship, put the slaves on it after we finish our work and high tail it out of here? possible, but yes we would need food, most likely medical supplies and some place to take them". The Silver Jedi would probably like to help, but at the same time probably didn't want a whole ship of slaves to be dumped onto their front door, unless. "I do have an idea, a planet called Tythe, since my youth it had been stripped mined into a waste land, but a CIS Viceroy had recently begun terrafroming on the surface but is in need of a population boost". Unsurprising not many people wanted to willingly live on a world no better then tatooine, unless there was no other choice. but for these slave, going there may be a life saving event, "just a suggestion, though we should focus on our main task right now".

Wu looked at her and if there was a world that well could be open for them... she didn't see it as a bad option if returning them to their worlds wasn't an option. sometimes they might not know where they came from or be able to go back... so even a questionable place could provide refuge. "It is something to keep in mind." She said it and stood there looking at Kurenai with a small smile tugging at her lips. She looked up at her friend? She was uncertain... Kurenai was something she trusted despite everything really... it was refreshing as they were able to move around and she was going through the hallways.

"Come on." She followed and the hallway opened up into a larger passageway. With tracks as droids hauled cargo and larger crates around them. The droids were moving quickly... far to much for them to move down and dodge past them. She pointed up towards the rigging and walkways above. She started to climb and slipped up to it standing there and bringing up what information was in the maps. Where she was looking now the she was pointing for Kurenai as the droid tracks went through the main hangers high above where they could scout and spy on some of the others.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

A small nod came from Kurenai as they continued down one of the many hallways dotting the space station, one of the main cargo loading areas of the place. One could only imagine what sort of things were transported through this area, the perfect place for them to dig up information, not doubt many deals went down in this area, perfect for spying. Quickly Kurenai followed behind the Jedi master, her stealth training once again coming into use. "We looking for anything in particular? or just acting as vultures, seeking our prey and then attacking", the busy bustles from below not letting up, the droids carrying out their task as if the day was normal.

She tapped her chin moving towards it. "I would say try and figure out what we can, carefully picking it out compared to just attacking.We don't want to alert the station to early... we need to be subtle if we can handle it." She was looking at some parts of it. Climbing up towards the struts of metal to go through hangers. She crouched down lower when motioning for Kurenai to follow. her enhanced senses would come in handy where they could look around. She was moving and listening to the smaller conversations. It wasn't much, they were talking about the job they had recently pulled, some about locations of interest and one stood out as it seemed to be a ship graveyard untouched.

"I'll keep that in mind." She said it while walking around and had a look more on her face. The metal struts going along the top kept moving and see could see some of the other ships as she stopped and it opened into a central hanger. Control room ahead and the transparasteel able to be seen through with men sitting around and directing the ships coming and going. The strut opened up into shafts as she grabbed on and pulled herself up to start climbing with the shaft opening into a larger chamber and lights were on high above them. The gravity less and there was resonating sounds from something.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Being all sneaky, certainly a skill she had but was rusty in, the days of the 'crimson shadow' being long gone. The few who knew of that past were mainly elderly gentlemen she had contracts with in the past, age having caught up to them. Still she wasn't washed up yet, this little expeditions would serve to sharpen her ability to walk and kill without drawing attention to herself. "Fortunate I am wearing some more lighter attire then my usual get up", the latter would be making quite a racket from each step.

Her senses continued to scan the area as the two women sneaked through the upper area of the hanger bay, just like ninjas. It was also kind of fun, to easily see your enemy but not be spotted yourself, no wonder Tana loved his old job so much. She leaped up quietly to Wu's side, using the force to keep herself on the floor, eyes scanning the surrounding area, "seems like we are near a generator of some sort, maybe the one that powers the artifical gravity, take that out and we could cause some chaos in this area of the station".

She looked at her and the idea of moving around and trying to fight or defend in zero gravity could be a really dangerous thing she knew. Mostly cause cover unless it was bolted down might float around. She wasn't one to enjoy that but they might be able to do. "Maybe we can set it up with a delay maybe.. don't want to alert them to it being us right away." She sucked on her lower lip for a moment but she was moving and checkig out some parts of it. "We'll have to make some noise sooner or later but we can." She trailed off coming to an end but looked and prepared leaping further in the lower gravity to the next area and swinging herself up.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

"Just say the word, certain I could rig up something to use, but yeah lets keep going, see all our options", she was quite certain there would me interesting ways to cause havoc on this pirate base station. Her footsteps being close behind WU as the two almost floated further into the un gravitated area. "I don't thing anyone can get get used to the feeling of no gravity... so unatrual that your body just never really gets use to it". More so if your constantly on the ground and moving around normally in space, often forgetting about 0 gs.

Wu nodded her head and she was thinking about it.. thinking about what they might be able to do here.... without the gravity they would have a lot to do that was at risk. She was able to feel a little gravity... it was far lower so they didn't just float away but she eased up a little moving to one of the corners and gripping it to hold herself in place as she started to scale up into the higher areas. "Start setting up a trigger or delay, something we can trigger when the moment comes." She nodded and spoke with a smile.... "but no orlow gravity does mean one thing.... less back strain."

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

She gave a nod to Wu, rummaging around her suit, pulling out some small ion devices, pulling out some wires and a primer, "on it, I'll link it to my holo communicator, one call and zapped, give me a sec to rig it up". Her hands went to work, mak shifting the device into the generators, using her saber to weld the things in place a little before turning back to Wu. "Back support... yes that is a problem, to be honest I have always used a fraction of my frock power to keep them up, will be nice to relax a little". Her face flushing up a little from the subject at hand, it wasn't something she talked about often, even to other women.

Wu gave a nod of agreement and it was nice if even for the moment they had some freedom as she went about it. Moving with most intentions towards the higher levels and being able to give Kurenai time to rig the charges.If they could find the best point to move from here into the control rooms they could again on a larger scale work on locking down sections of the station itself as opposed to having to fight through each one... or call in some reinforcements who could come and help them. She was checking on some of it when she pulled herself up and close to one of the levels looking over and could see some droids working o clearing tunnels and ignoring them.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Her hands finally finished the improvised device, giving it a small pat to stay in place as she regrouped with Wu, "just say the word and eveything will be all float, still wish we had some sort of map of this place". As the two spied the workings droids Kurenai gave Wu a small elbow bump. "I don't suppose you have some force power that shuts down droids potentially giving us the chance to rummage around their bodies and reprogram them to work for us and lets say, I don't know, lead us to the command center". It would also be useful to have a small force of their own inside the station when things did get started, maybe there was a main area were all the droids were being kept, that could certainly turn things into their favor.
