Negotiations .. aggressive? [Silver Jedi]

Kegan System​

Outer Rim Territories​

Late afternoon​

​

​

A small group of members of Silver Jedi are on assignment to procure Nightshadow hull plating for a secret project. The Antarian Rangers alongside the Jedi of the Order have come to engage in negotiations with Kegan Resources Pty Ltd. Juliette had arranged the meeting, using her old contacts from her past, although she had never been out this far, she had it on good authority that this company would have what they required and the Nightshadow set at a reasonable price. A Mister Jats Crecker is owner of the company and their immediate contact.

In an old looking Hammerhead Freighter, called the Wobbly Boot, Juliette sits in the Captains chair. Around her the ships crew are busy with business and preparing for arrival, as they are only minutes away from existing hyperspace.

Juliette checks all systems, and sends a message to Mister Crecker that they will arrive a little over an hour.

Rangers lead the way... thankfully Willa as she stood there wasn't a real ranger. She preferred helping the Silver Jedi they were likable and didn't treat the former Havoc member like dirt as the Republic had when it was needed. Slowly she stood there with her anti-material rifle and machine pistol while she moved about the ship and brushed her hair from the side of her face. The braided piece of hair going over her shaved sides while the armor gleamed with reflec body paint. "So we got a good lead?

"Oh you know... friend of a friend and all that". She grinned.

It was the truth of the matter. Juliette had been given the contact through a friend of her's, a Corellian of a somewhat colourful background and nature. She smiled remembering him, One more drink and I am anybody's .. two more and I am yours, he would say to her. He never ever got that fair, which was just fine with her.

"We will be on ground soon, this should be easy enough. The Nightshadow is crated and ready, we just have to do the exchange and return home, simple right?". She turned to look up at the woman from the command chair. All decked out in armour, pure military countenance and demeanour, head shaved, she still held a feminine look however.

"I am Juliette Moliere, just call me Jules". She doubted the woman would.

Jumping into a system with a ship as fast as the Black Berserker without overtaking the ship that was leading you is hard. Having not yet donned my armor, I walked through the cockpit in my usual black vest and pants. My boots were kind of flashy, but nothing really conspicuous. I opened a holo-channel to the Hammerhead freighter and grinned at the holo.

"Hullo there, ladies. What can the crazy Zeltrochiss and his fine ship assist you with, today?"

Starfighters aren't the best ships... however, the weaponry on them are usually better than others. Oka flew in space supposedly where a Silver Jedi 'thing' was happening. He didn't wear anything special. Just brown robes and some armor with a brown cloak. Coming out of hyperspace, hoping they'd hear him, who ever they were, he said, "Anyone out here?" plain and simple but he wasn't trying to be attacked by his own people.

Incoming transmissions indicated the presence of two Silver Jedi. Juliette opened up a communication channel to both ships. She held a grin on her face, Jedi baby sitting, she thought.

"This is Ranger Moliere, welcome Jedi. Please proceed to provide escort to ground and you can help with the loading". They may as well make themselves useful while they are here. This is a routine assignment, and the chance that Jedi are about an added bonus she thought. "I will be meeting with my contact in ten minutes".

The Hammerhead moved with grace though the atmosphere and down to ground. The set co-ordinates sent to the two Jedi ships, and soon they could load the ship go for a beer and head home. The ship touched down on time, Juliette left the ship in the command of her second and left for the boarding ramp.

 

[Oka Osaa]

Once the coordinates were set, that's where he headed. Loading wasn't his thing but he was apart of the Order and loyal to them. Plus, if you say you are gonna do something, do it. Making his way on the landing, he jumped out of the ship and walked towards the boarding ramp. Seeing the ranger, he called out, "What is a ranger these days?"

"A Ranger is someone that watches your back Jedi", she said with a smile, as the man approached her by the ramp. "And who might you be?".

She turned to head for the meeting place to conclude the transaction for the Nightshadow. "I don't expect trouble but you never know. Stay close just in case". Her hand reached to her side to reassure herself her blaster was in place. "We are to meet A Mister Jats Crecker, in the ware house, load the crates and hand over the credits, then we can go home". That should just about do it. Right?

 

[Oka Osaa]

"Well that's a good thing I suppose. Usually the sith watch our backs, not in a good way..." he paused coming closer to a crate. "I'm Oka Osaa. Its a pleasure. They should know who they're messing with if they do cause trouble, right? And got it." he said picking up a crate. They weren't too heavy although he figured most would be. The things you pay for in this galaxy.

"Thanks for your help", she smiled. Juliette moved to assist with the loading, she had further help in droids to carry the heavier loads and soon all the Nightshadow was aboard the ship and secured for the return flight to Voss. She grabbed her data pad just to check once more on the location of the meeting place.

"Shall we go and pay Mister Creckers? he will be waiting of us in the main warehouse". She begin to walk across the landing pad in the direction of the storage building situated only two blocks into the town. The town was nothing extraordinary, plan residential buildings surrounded the outskirts until entering the through the streets where one would see grey buildings for storage. This town is run mainly from the business and profits of the traders and houses no glamour apart from a local bar.

Entering the warehouse, Juliette was met by another man inquiring about their business and once she had provided their reason for their presence, he directed them to the office of Mister Crecker.

"Mister Crecker, I am Juliette Moliere from the Order of the Silver Jedi, we have loaded the Nightshadow and I have come to finalise payment". However, Jules noted something was not right with the man, he seemed on edge. She did not believe it was Oka that would set this off.

"I .. I have authority to transfer the funds now if you wish?", thinking he might have some misgivings about this.

Mister Crecker stood up and moved around the front of his desk and eyed her. There is no malice in his looks but fear, and Jules noted his hands trembling.

Seeing the droids and Juliette doing the rest, he jumped back and let them lead the way. Setting down the crate, he walked back over to the ranger. "No problem." he said with a smile after walking with her keeping his cloak tugged so no one would see his weapons. Walking into the office, Oka felt staying close would be the best thing to do as she said. Listening to her talk and the man act weird, he decided to give an intimidating look towards the man.

"I trust everything will be in order", the man finally spoke, with an edge to his voice. "I am sure the Jedi do not cheat in a business transaction".

Something is out of place, from the description of the man from her contact, Mister Crecker seemed at odds with what should be a confident gruff man. She looked into the man's eyes, held his gaze with her brown eyes. She wondered if the Oka had sensed something in this situation and she turned to look into his face to read it.

"Well .hmm.. the Silver Jedi are good people so you are correct. I will transfer the funds immediately. Once business is completed we will leave". she added to make him at ease if the presence of the Jedi was the problem. The man kept a fixed stare on her and did not move, only once did he move his eyes toward Oka.

"As you wish", he replied and looked as if he would speak no more. However, his hand told her different as three fingers shot out from his clenched fist, and pointed downward. The sudden movement from the stationary man caught her eyes. Three?

As she had said Juliette transferred partical payment through her data pad to Mister Crecker. She would not transfer the full amount until they are away from here. "All completed".

At this moment, a door on the side of the room burst open and three man entered with guns pointed toward she and Oka, they have walked into a trap.

 

[Oka Osaa]

Oka kept his intimidating stare until a door on the side of the room slid open. Trouble, always trouble when you're trying to do something. "I like to play." he said jokingly as he pushed them far back with the force. Oka grabbed one of his sabers and ignited it holding it towards Mister Creckers neck expecting more to come. "Put those ranger skills to full potential if you will." he said with a smirk, but in a good way.

"I think you are pointing that thing at the wrong person", she shot back at him. It is obvious to Juliette that Mister Crecker is hostage in this situation and soon enough the man on the floor had recovered from his force push. Although a little groggy at first, however they soon had their guns up and firing now. Not exactly happy with the new situation, their target was the Jedi.

 

[Oka Osaa]

"Hmm. Right." he said running out of the office towards the men dodging their bullets as he ignited his second saber. It was hard to dodge all those bullets but he forgot he had his light sabers. Oka leaped up and deflected a bullet hitting a man. He went down but fired again as he went down. He deflected that one to hitting him again landing and stabbing another man. He wasn't happy about this but he was only protecting himself and the ranger. Wasn't sure about Mr Crecker though.

Harmony was walking, she had the information and data for the project and her master Matsu was there, near her as the HRD moved along taking in everything. This deal was built upon the premise that the Silver jedi weren't zealots and apparently one had been killing people. Not a great way to make a first impression as her master joined them and the demur jedi in a white kimono and with her black hair up kept her hands clapsed in front of her. "Juliette is everything set to get enough? My droid has the plans needed and measurements for the proper amounts."
