Public In need of protection

[Eskk Jannik]

Eskk sat behind his desk in the office of the military base of Balosaur 2. Recent events have convinced him to think of greater preservation. In that spirit he had invited the owner of a small alchemy shop to come and discuss that idea.

Eskk was confident of his ability to pay for such items. Typically he was very frugal and spent very little money. He had his own ship, paid for by the Eternal Empire. He had his quarters on the military base he was in command of. Eskk prefered to hunt his own food, which were typically the citizens of Balosaur 2.

There was an active search going on for a serial killer who was accused of draining the brains of at least five individuals. Unbeknownst to the imperial troops conducting the search, that serial killer was their boss, Eskk. So, he had full control over the investigation of his crimes and full ability to ensure it went no where.

When he was out hunting he had access to communications, alliwing him to avoid patrols that were essentially looking for him. In any event that he was discovered near a body, he could convincingly claim that he was on the trail of the killer and as the boss, his troops would have no choice but to believe him.

With the credits he had stolen from his victims, as well as his own savings from being paid as a major, Eskk had about 100,000 credits that he could spend on his quest for better protection.

A message relayed to the desk of Eskk Jannik bid the man receive the representative for M&I: Ereza Kep, via holo-call.

Once accepted, the illuminated bust of the man appeared in techy-blue over the receiver.

["Mornin' ...eh, af'ernoon, I fink,"] Kep glanced around where he stood, then gave a visible shrug of his shoulders, ["don' really mavver do ih? I spek on behalf o' Mr. Black, owner o' Marruh 'n Illskin, 'ere for a... parley 'n such. You be wantin' a suit of armor, real speshul-like, roight? Wha sort o' speshul you lookin' fer, fren?"]

Eskk analyzed the figure in the holovid call. Overall he was rather unimpressive. When he spoke, Eskk decided he wasnt even fit to eat. Eskk decided this individual was nearly useless.

"Well friend," Eskk said allowing his displeasure to be heard in his voice. "I'm looking for a light suit of armor. It needs to be able to hold up to blaster fire as well as lightsabers, but it also has to move with me and not hinder my performance. As far as the helmet goes, I want facial recognition and the ability to wirelessly connect with databases and download files with images to aid in facial recognition."

There was one more thing Eskk wanted. "Also I want the facial part to bear the image of an Aacklay face. Does this sound like something that can be accomplished by your company?"

["Mmm..."] the Rep lifted a hand to idly itch at the scruff on his sallow cheeks before pressing his teeth through his lips in a grimacing smile, ["seems ta me you be need'n a more ... ahm, tech-oriented comp'ny for yer needs. Marruh 'n Illskin does a differn' sorva speshul. De kind dat won' be replicated by wires n' finkin' boards. Savvy?"]

 

[Eskk Jannik]

Eskk had expected such an answer. He knew they weren't a technical company. "So let's talk about what you can do." Eskk said to the man. "I'm also looking for items to enhance my force abilities or to protect me from other's force abilities."

"While were on the subject of armor," Eskk continued, "I'm willing to start with something low tech. Think of it like a prototype. Do you have material thats resistant to lightsabers and/or blaster fire? Also, do you think you can do something with this Durasteel facemask to help it offer better protection?"

Kep held back, the grimace on his face simmering into a wry smirk.

["Aye,"] a general answer to everything, the man nodded, ["to the lavver. S'fore the protek'ive items - ain't no such fing as a grab-all 'less ye wannae cut off yer own Force powers. Wards kin work fer temp'ary shields, nuvvin lasts ferever though. Now yer talkin' multiple projeks, fren. Costly projeks. All require half downpayment."]

 

[Eskk Jannik]

"I see," Eskk answered. "Well I've been travelling the galaxy for quite some time. I assure you I've managed to accumulate a nice sum of credits that I'm willing to apply to this venture. So if you would, please give me a brief summary of what you have to offer as well as the cost for each applicable item."

Kep lifted a hand to his pointed chin, thumbing the thin bristle there in thought, ["Well 'ere's always goin wiv Phrik. At'll keep ye well clear o' blasters 'n sabers, electricity, too. Won' weigh ye down, either. Nice 'n light. But,] he dropped his hand and raised his brows, ["Phrik'll cost ye a pretty credit, given how rare it is. Fer full armor n' mask ... yer lookin' at round quarter mil fer jes the armor alone. N'ats before any Force frippery or alch'my come into play."]
