Renzil Town seemed liked one of those country towns where everyone knew each other. The type of place filled with mom and pop stores and where you couldn’t find nothing to do for fun if your life depended on it. Makari had experience living in such a place, but it was only for a few months thankfully. He wasn’t a city kid, but he didn’t like the idea of everyone being in his business all the time either.

Juri found them a motel on the edge of town. “We’re sharing rooms,” she said nonchalantly. It didn’t bother Makari either, but he felt slightly offended that she was comfortable enough to share a room with him and not expect some type of shenanigans. He looked at his face in the mirror for a while and shrugged though. Well, everyone couldn’t be attractive he guessed.

As they unpacked their luggage in their motel room, Juri started to fill him in on Luca’s schedule. The man he was supposed to keep track of 24/7, although he was still struggling to accept that his former history teacher was in league with mass murdering Sith.

It seemed ridiculous, but so was the galaxy. He heard about all of the Mandalorian raids into the Republic, and wasn’t sure why they were the target of a crusade, when to many ordinary citizens, no matter how corrupt or just the Republic was, the Republic had always been the symbol of protection and security to most. Sure there were terrorism attacks here and there, but where in the galaxy was there truly peace?

Makari put it out of his head though, because if he acknowledge his animosity towards the Mandalorians, he would also be acknowledging that he was doing nothing personally to stop their aggressions.

But maybe after Operation Towerfall ended, he would take his training with Cathbodua a bit more seriously? The way things were going right now, he couldn’t keep turning a blind eye and pretending it wasn’t his burden to bear.

“Where do you want to go for dinner?” Juri asked him.

Makari looked at her with a smirk. “You mean where can we go for dinner. This is ain’t exactly Coruscant. The pickings are slim.”

Joza took a few moments more to stare at the various species that had gathered—the majority were Zeltros, though there were plenty of delegates from other words present. Some wore Zeltros-approved fashion, while others dressed more conservative in their native dress. Regardless, everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Drawing in a deep breath, Joza exhaled and smiled. It had been a long time since she’d been around this many Zeltrons, and it made her wonder why she ever left Zeltros in the first place.

“Ah! Of course.” Offering Ayumi a grin, she moved beside the Senator as they entered the building. “Partying does sound nice…though in truth, I might go and visit my mother first.” Her smile shifted into a more sentimental look as she thought of her mother. She was a far gentler woman than Joza, and would be glad to see her daughter in this capacity.

“Ooh, they’ve got a table set up for Essence of Zeltros.” Joza pointed over to a series of rather long tables manned by what appeared to be a team of Zeltron dignitaries. They seemed to be talking up their product and giving out free samples as well. “Want to have a look, Miss Senator? I hear that this perfume is so powerful, some people call it a love potion!”

She stopped herself from some thoughts while she was walking with it and saw the table set up while the young zeltron spoke and the one side of her brain where she was awesome and the galaxies gift to all women and the ten percent of men she could stand being around. The other half of her brain was a lot more rational and not thinking everyone wanted to have her naked and doing acrobatics around the area. "Hmm well usually I have never needed the boost but Ii imagine in a safe place with the right people." She was looking at it and at all of the other things they had there whille walking with a smile on her face when Cato came to join her. her assistant and handmaiden for pretty much everything and the twi'leks skin was almost gold compared.

"Minefields are tactically defensive and clearing up mines allows an army using it to go on the offense once the corridor has been breached"

"I'm not one to know about how does that mean in practice. My company builds those things: the ground vehicle engineers are the ones building those things, not me. I'm more in the noncombat starship construction business"

"Now, Charzon, you're a pretty big girl. Not as much as Jessica but I know you're blushing"

"Do I look the same as a Zeltron my size to you? Jessica has nothing on Zeltrons and neither do I"

Sure, Zeltron females Charzon's size definitely can and do exist. And yet one Devaronian bounty hunter once said: If you like your humanoids svelte, flexible, enthusiastic and in multiple shades of red, then the most beautiful people in the galaxy are on Zeltros. Certainly that Zeltron was one to like having tall ladies for love interests, much like Mandos would. Jessica is a far cry from the svelteness that characterized Zeltron ladies... she is massive. 1.97m would mean that she would tower most Zeltron females, and she has bulk to spare by Near-Human standards. OK, Mandalorians would have loved to have a lady like her as a model, but many of the Zeltron ladies Charzon did meet prior were Zeltrons that bore more resemblance to people like Anastasia Volzhin or the Amidala of old than to Jessica. And Zeltrons had a pretty big chunk of the major galactic modeling agencies.

The Bith nodded. Very difficult circumstances to pull off. That was also a fair analysis. His own species was quite prolific and had a chance to build a good reputation.

He regarded the stagnant waters of the lake again. It was time act. Something was better than nothing at all in this situation. Dune gestured to the small group of Jedi around the water.

"Come, let's ready ourselves to begin. I will lead the circle and we will do what we can."

“It probably feels like a typical Zeltros nightclub to an off worlder, so maybe you’ll get the safe effect just from being in one.” A grin stretched her face at the thought, maybe she’d go to Blush tonight and see if some of her friends still worked there. Perhaps the Senator could even join her, as she seemed to take to the local culture quite nicely.

“Friend of yours?” Joza motioned to Ayumi’s assistant who had just joined them. “Joza Perl, Knight of the Silver Sanctum.” She offered her hand to shake, a bright smile on her face. She conveniently dropped Jedi from the title, having distanced herself from it lately.

“Would you care to try some, miss?” The Zeltron who was selling the perfume gave [member="Ayumi Pallopides"] a sweet smile as she held up the sample vial.

A look on her face as Cato spoke and the twi'lek was very calm and focused. "Cato Secura, aid to the senator." Her skin was golden while looking over many of the things and Ayumi turned when one of the women offered her a free sample. A great marketing ploy though here among most of the zeltrons well pheromones were not as effective. She could at least try it out though and Cato was here who liked to enjoy the sights or sounds fo the planet with all fo the people. "Yes please." Ayumi was looking at her with a nod of her head as the eltron was working with her to apply it to her neck with small daps before Ayumi leaned back presenting her neck and feeling the liquid get a small breeze before she bowed her head. "Hmm this does smell nice."

She gave a nod to the jedi master and provided a moment or two to work with some fo the things. There were some ideas in her mind for the different things while the small kitsune was entertaining the idea of what they could do but she moved to get in the circle. That there were many more not showing up disappointed her before she turned over with some of the attention. "Alright, I am ready master jedi." Giving all of the attention to the sand and water to prevent and watch in case anything tried to sneak up on them and attack or disrupt their actions here. The jedi master was giving her a number of ideas though for how to go about being in the order. She might be able to travel around with groups and preforming like this.

Charzon realized that Zeltrons were better suited to doing espionage and, within it, adjustments work for the Republic than to doing the heavy lifting on the battlefield, seeing that the Zeltron soldier has seemingly dismissed these implements Charzon was attempting to sell them with a chuckle. And Charzon came to a grim realization not only about the Mandalorians but also about the Zeltrons themselves. Using them as intelligence agents would be making far more sense than any frontline use of them.

"You realize by now that perhaps your role in the beleaguered Republic may lie in supplying intelligence agents than to supply front-line units"

"How so?"

"Pheromones. They can induce people to talk when they would otherwise keep their mouths shut"

"Come on, you sound like a Mandalorian"

"Speaking of which, they are our greatest enemies, more than the One Sith"

Dune gestured for the Padawan to sit at his right hand.

"Gather 'round in a circle, my friends," he said as he sat cross-legged.

They began to arrange themselves around him. Then they looked expectantly towards him. He drew in a focusing breath. This was what it meant to lead.

"Focus on the Force, let it fill you," he voice was almost hypnotic "Good, now feel the Force within us all all. Open yourselves."

They'd begun to do just that. It was a hard thing to surrender. It involved so much trust. He was confident that his fellow Jedi could do it.

“It’s nice to meet you, Cato.” Joza tilted her head in greeting, a polite smile on her face. The surname Secura seemed to ring a bell, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it. Joza could say with near certainty that she’d never seen a gold skinned Twi’lek before. The beautiful race usually came in shades of greens and blues, though it was not unheard of to see Twi’leks with pink, red or purple skin.


“I should hope so.” The Zeltron representative smile and nodded after applying the perfume to the Senator. “A Zeltron’s pheromones often smell pleasant to those around them.” She handed a sample vile to Cato and Joza as well, despite the latter’s pinkness. Perhaps she could use it as a gift. “Guaranteed to charm that special someone!” She gave Ayumi a wink, appearing both amicable and relaxed in a way that only a Zeltron could.

Looking at the zeltron with a nod of her head she was prepared for anything that could come from it and prepared to go and meet these zeltrons. They had a whole lot of things going on for them here with a small amount of new things they can bring in for the people. She was looking at some of the improvements they were bringing and using on Denon, on several dozen other worlds before she raised her forearm datapad up and they were making sure it was loaded up. She would have to see how @Caelog Vass responded to the pheromones but the soldier was rather awkward with some of the more open and overt displays of affection or public displays. Who knew what might come of it. "This sounds perfect, we should be able to work on some of the things and the influx of credits for Denon we should be able to bring these to Zeltros."

“If you’re interested in our product, I can give you the information to go through the proper channels for purchasing and distribution rights.” The Zeltron representative smiled brightly, reaching for a datapad that was placed on the display table. “Senator Ayumi Pallopides of Denon, correct? Alright, I’ve just transferred the necessary attachments. Please let me know if you need anything else, and enjoy those free samples!” She gave the trio of women a wink.

“Mm, I almost want to go out dancing.” Joza chuckled, clearly feeling the effects of the pheromones. It had been a long time since she’d felt the essence of her people, though its heavy effects were likely to wear off after a few days. “Do you dance, Senator?”

"Hit the casinos dead center as many runs as you can get!"

"Forget it, I won't achieve much of anything if I hit the casinos dead center as many runs as I could get"

"Oh, milady, I can trust you that many other Zeltrons would try to hit on you if you did that"

"What about berserkers?"

"Zeltron berserkers would be the best bet for the Republican infantry: artillery is not an area of combat where berserkers would be of much use"

Visibly angry at Charzon having wasted her time with that Charzon official, she looks for another one to hook up to and she is getting just as angry as those berserkers she is talking about. Charzon is about to walk out of the room in anger; she feels as if the Zeltrons are wasting her time. Or perhaps she misunderstood their needs. What the real needs are may as well be fulfilled by different companies: tanks, heavy bombers are offensive weapons and the Zeltrons seem to act as if a territorial defense force instead. The Zeltron then escorts her away from the military base, while Charzon is about to depart the premises. So very tired she is. It seems surprising that Charzon would be so angry at feeling like she wasted her time. She couldn't quite sell the stuff as she intended to. But she is grabbed by another soldier before she could return to her ship.

Mmmm dancing sounded like a wonderful idea as Ayumi was moving and nodding her head to the saleswoman. Free samples were great but the real stuff cost credits and she had plenty. investing in some of these perfumes could come in handy for the future while she was thinking about it and giving herself a small look at the zeltron. "Oh I do love dancing when it is with the right person or people. Preferably ones who are not going to laugh when I dance and make a little fool of myself." She wasn't the best dancer and preferred it that way, she could work with it and give herself some of the better designs on different things. "Maybe later if you are good, I'll show you a few dane moves, might not be double jointed all over but I am fairly flexible."

Klesta assembled a team of blackjack card-counters, including people like Ken and Karen Sutliff, Tiffany Cowden, Melanie Galloway, as well as the Neimoidian Lok How, and the Bimm Gutksor, called the Magnificent Seven, all seated at one high-stakes table with a bankroll built from funds seized from the underworld, with Klesta at the center, when entering in a delta formation. The casino complex had a lot of glitz, hundreds of slot machines and about 100-120 gaming tables. Sabacc, roulette were the order of the day here, but Melanie, the technical advisor of the team, decided that blackjack was their best bet. After all, even if the money was seized from the underworld, it would still benefit the Republic if the team earned money. Admittedly Klesta accepted to be part of the team mostly because of the prestige of his position and that financial backers would be much more liekly to support the Magnificent Seven if they had someone well-known or well-connected as the high roller of the team. But who were the backers to trust a team of younglings (in casino terms)?

"Hit the casinos dead center as many runs as we can get! Let's light it up!"

"Direct hit!" Lok told the rest of the team.

"But there's no damage!" Melanie countered.

"Another bombing run!" Klesta told his team, after a pretty poor deck of hands was handed to them last time.
