Private Piracy in Wild Space!

Ship: Milwr Bach

This was likely their most risky mission. Targeting some rich Galactic Alliance nobility was a bold move. Especially since the ship was travelling with some Jedi and a few soldiers, but that meant the loot just had to be even better.

"Right boys, this is some big shot GA member. Some guy with more wealth and power than he deserves. I think it's time we remind these types that the Wild Space ain't safe for them." Rhys called out on the comms to his crew as he grabbed his Mandalorian helmet. He knew that the Enclave would not be impressed if they heard that he was operating this way near the enemy's territory but it was better than committing piracy in the Enclave space. He figured they would be less likely to tell him off for it.

Because is robbing the enemy actually robbing?

Walking away from the cockpit, the Milwr Bach had been able to quickly and efficiently disable the noble's ship, a ship that was clearly not designed for combat unlike Rhys's. The Milwr Bach performed beautifully and she was able to dock with the noble's ship. Making sure Rhys and his crew would get the chance to break their way inside. Spotting his crew gearing up, Fyre was ensuring his bowcaster was prepped with a large cleaver sheathed to his back. The Wookiee was dangerous in close quarters as he was at range. Rhys had learnt that many times from their brawls and training sessions. The large Wookiee stood nearing 8' if not over 8' and made Rhys feel short whenever he stood too close. Hysssk was another towering figure, but only at roughly 7'2 or something, he did feel less imposing at times. Dex and Flick were more similar heights to Rhys and with body types that made him feel less self conscious.

"Dex, you got the equipment ready for hijacking the comms and keeping an all clear signal till we finish?" Rhys asked as he slid the Mandalorian helm over his handsome face.

Dex jumped, clearly on edge, "y-yeah boss. I got you covered there." The Rodian answered swiftly once he recovered.

"Good, Fyre, you cover him. If this Jedi aboard goes after Dex, better he's got you covering him than Hysssk." Rhys ordered, Fyre cheered in appreciation to be chosen over the Trandoshan for a combat reason. Hysssk was clearly not pleased but kept silent. Which was fortunate, he needed Hysssk with him as supportive fire if the Jedi decided to not play ball and let them raid the ship.

Flick picked up his two vibroswords, long blades that were sheathed and then selected his heavy rifle. Something that shot fast, hard and a lot of rounds. But the gun didn't look massive in the arms of the heavy Zeltron. Flick was Rhys's first mate and the first person he recruited after seeing the other Zeltron punch a guy to death during a deathmatch, ignoring his cuts and bolt injuries. It was like the man was immune to pain and it was impressive. Hysssk had several different guns strapped to him with a load of shields and clawed gauntlets. Hysssk loved weapons more than anything and he was dangerous with just about any weapon in his hand. Rhys was always impressed with him.

Stepping forward to the entrance of the docking area. "In out, taking everything we can. If we can get the Force Suppression cuffs on the Jedi, perfect, otherwise, keep them distracted more than engage one on one. Jedi ain't an easy group to take down. Even with Mandalorian training." Rhys mentioned, not wanting his crew killed by the Jedi. And not wanting them to try killing the Jedi. They were pirates yes, but they didn't kill if they could help it. It was the thing Rhys wanted, he loved stealing and robbing but he wasn't seeking death.

Entering the noble's ship, Rhys took his pistols out, holding them in a threatening manner as he entered the main room of the ship. "Good evening everyone, we are your pirate hosts, and I am the Dread Captain Marwol Aeth! I am here to relieve you of your wealth, for I fear it must be weighing you down!" Rhys chuckled deeply, his pheromones were a calm aura that emanated throughout the room, ensuring that those around him were not going to act out and cause an issue. Rhys wanted this mission to be smooth and still needed to figure out how the Jedi would play this.

"My associates here will be taking your fortune, please be so kind to offer all you have and we will be kind in not murdering you!" Rhys laughed deeply, encouraging the nobility to laugh at his joke with his pheromones.

"Stay close to me," Valery told the noble, who had started to panic ever since the pirates appeared. Valery, however, almost felt bad for them. Even if they expected a Jedi to be guarding this man, would they suspect it to be her? These missions were more typical for freshly Knighted Jedi, not the most experienced fighter of them all. She was going to teach them a lesson for it, hopefully without a lot of unnecessary violence.

She could be quite persuasive if she tried to be.

"There are a couple of them, and I have a feeling they know how to control people," Valery said rather calmly. "Your guards are barely resisting them. Which means... you'll have to leave it to me." She smiled and gestured for the man to follow her. She knew that ideally, they'd want to separate her from their real target.

So she was going to prevent that from happening.

Valery then tapped her comms device, and opened a channel all across the ship, <Invaders, this is Jedi Master Valery Noble. Your target is safe with me, and it's going to stay that way. I urge you to leave now, while you still can.> Using her name sometimes scared people off, so why not give it a shot this time?

"Thank you guards for laying down your weapons and complying, we are so grateful for your contribution to our tax of this space." Rhys chuckled deeply as his pheromones lowered their instincts to fight and strike out at the pirates. Flick and Fyre were taking valuables from the chests, pockets and breaking the weapons so the guards would not have anything to fight with if they were able to shake the pheromones of both Flick and Rhys.

Over the comms came a voice, female and Rhys smirked behind his helmet as he heard her announce her rank and name. There was clear intention behind the delivery of the name. However, Rhys tapped his comms to reply with a short and simple question.

"Who?"

His voice was clear and deliberate as he then switched his comms to the private channel for his crew.

"Boys, some Jedi Master is here. Need to work quick, this so-called Master likely has the noble with her, so Dex, locate where they are and I'll have Fyre join you guys raiding the rooms here while me and Flick put our charms to the max." Rhys then tapped the comms back to the channel the Jedi had used.

Looking around for the security camera she was observing him from. "How about you tell me where you are Jedi Master, and I'll happily talk it out with you." His voice was calm, charming and confident.

He felt very in charge of the situation, even when facing Valery Noble. Possibly because he was unaware who she was.

"Who?"

Valery perked a brow and sighed — of course these pirates didn't know her name at all. It meant she was going to have to stand up against them, and while she wasn't afraid of that, it'd just likely turn into unnecessary pain for them. Especially if they dared to try and use pheromones against her.

She wasn't as easily persuaded as the guards.

Then, she heard the voice of who she assumed to be the leader of this pirate gang. He wanted to talk? Part of her felt like this could be a trap, but she also hoped to actually avoid a fight. So, perhaps against better judgement, she opened up her comms and spoke clearly and confidently.

<Meet me at the bridge and we'll talk.>

He was told to meet this mysterious Jedi at the bridge of the ship, he nodded to Flick. The other Zeltron joined him as they walked together towards the bridge of the ship. He was not concerned with whether or not he was going to have issues with his pheromones or his telepathic abilities, those were something he would use but merely distracting the Jedi. Making sure that she is distracted long enough that his crew could reap enough rewards to make this raid worth their time.

Standing outside the door to the bridge, he looked to Flick, "keep ya cool. No firing at the Jedi, if they really are some kind of Jedi Master then our weapons ain't gunna do much. Should have grabbed a vibrosword for this and not me daggers." Rhys regretted as he collected himself, focusing on the present before opening the door.

The door slid open and the Zeltron saw the Jedi Master. There was something familiar in her face, Rhys was sure of it but he couldn't be sure what it was that had him recognising her.

Flick then opened his mouth, "that's the big important Jedi from the holovids on the GA boss!" Rhys glared back to Flick, silencing him quickly.

"Well, are you sure she's the Jedi? Looks more like a model than a Jedi." Rhys complimented the high level of beauty that Valery held as he stepped into the room and looked around to see if she had brought the noble with her.

Flick was more distracted, definitely not hiding the fact that he found Valery attractive. Especially with the pheromones and emotions used to manipulate Valery in lowering her guard around them both as well.

Rhys noticed what Flick was doing and shoved the other Zeltron, "focus, find the noble." Rhys growled in a low whisper which knocked some sense into Flick who focused on the mission. Rhys then turned to Valery, "so, Jedi Master. Seems that you are doing a job beneath you, I mean who wants to protect someone with more money than sense?" Rhys commented with a chuckle as he removed his helmet.

His handsome pink face revealed with his electric blue hair falling perfectly into place, no sign of helmet hair at all. A smirk was etched on his lips as he looked over to Jedi Master. "Tell me where the noble is, we take what we need from him and we'll leave you in peace, no one harmed." Rhys stated, tapping his comms subtly as he signalled to Dex and the others where they were and making sure they did their job quickly.

"that's the big important Jedi from the holovids on the GA boss!"

Valery's right eyebrow went way up at the comment, but also at the reaction from Rhys. Were these two even taking this seriously at all? Or maybe their usual heists were a lot easier because people couldn't resist. With them both being Zeltrons, she knew exactly why that was — it just wouldn't work on her if she actively resisted it.

"I don't care about money," Valery finally said before she gestured for the noble to step into sight, and join her right by her side. As long as he was close to her, they couldn't really try to capture him. If they opened fire, it meant they'd risk his life, and she had a feeling that he wasn't worth much dead.

He didn't have enemies, he just had money.

"Keep your distance and don't reach for weapons, or this won't be fun for you two," Valery then warned them, as she noticed the looks in their eyes. They were scheming, but also awfully focused on her.

"The deal is pretty simple. You two and your crew are leaving now, or you'll be behind bars for longer than you'll like."

"Well, if you ain't caring about money then this will be very simple." Rhys smirked, not looking too concerned about the position they were in, "we're just here to liberate the man of funds from his account. Not looking to make him hostage, just transfer the credits to us." Rhys was looking to keep a hostage, that was risky, made too much effort since hostages could be rescued. Easier to convince someone to transfer the money to a third party account, then take it from there.

At least, that was usually how it was, easy and fun.

Rhys kept his hands clearly away from his weapons, "I'm afraid neither of those work. Money is the objective here and that guy has more than a planet does. Doesn't seem fair for him to retain such wealth. Think of this as a liberation of hoarder's money." It was a faux position of socialism and taking from the wealthy.

He truly didn't care either way, however, it was a position he developed to make those he robbed look just as criminal as himself.

"So, how about it Jedi? Let me have a chat with the man, see if he wants to give me the credits and then we'll let you keep him safe and healthy. Leaving with no fight." Rhys countered with a smirk.

He just needed to delay long enough for Dex to hack into the account and take the whole lot without the need for Rhys's charisma.
