Profitable Partnerships and Smuggler Havens

[Celiana]

I'd recently cemented an alliance with a young, incredibly attractive smuggler by the name of [member="Nyree Justice"]...She'd asked what kind of services I could provide her. Along with my having offered her use of my storage facilities and shadowport I'd mentioned finding places away from the authorities. Having recently joined the Agents of Chaos I knew the location of out capitol of Eve. I'd spent the last several days surveying the surrounding star systems close to Eve. My probes had returned decently quickly informing me of several interesting locations. A seemingly abandoned outpost among the moons several star systems away.

There'd been another location that'd piqued my interest though. A seemingly abandoned space station, fairly large and with decent defenses. The probes had had a difficult time finding it due to certain radiation that'd hidden it from initial sensor scans. As I sat in my office at The Vixen's Vantage spinning a stylus I pressed the earpiece in my left ear and made a call. "Nyree it's Celiana. I may have a location we can both expand our businesses to if you're interested. In any case hit me back up I'll be at my club." Looking over the sensor scans and surveillance footage and pictures I saw the possibilities.... At the very least this gave me an opportunity to take The Morrigan back out for a spin...

​

​

The approach was littered with asteroids which the probes had scanned. Apparently there were some valuable minerals in those asteroids and there was a small moon nearby that had rich mineral deposits. It looked like there was minimal lighting from the scans. Emergency lighting and sparking wires mostly...that being said typically places like this weren't simply abandoned. Some of the images showed bodies.... to say nothing of the interior.

​

​

That being said....This would be an ideal place for starting a shadowport and smugglers' den. The facility looked largely intact and certain areas could be turned into shopping centers, entertainment, living quarters. Technically this could be a nearby base for me to Eve to say nothing of the fact that Eve was still building and having smugglers with rich cargo freighters would likely be well compensated. The droids had picked up the name of the station in their scans and investigation. Hades Station....I liked the name. Hopefully Nyree would take me up on the invitation to go for a ride. I could see this being highly profitable for both of us...

"Princess, Princess, Princess," came the sound of Deeper, the pain in the butt protocol droid as it shuffled into the room.

Nyree rolled over, her arm wrapping around the Mirialan girl in front of her. The Wookiee behind her pulled in close, his body heat radiating onto Nyree like a living heated blanket onto her bare skin.

"Go away, metalface," she muttered groggily into the girl's dark locks. Her own arms wrapped around the green, soft-skinned waste of the other female. "Do not disturb until next Life day."

"But, Princess, I just--"

"Just nothing," Nyree growled. The Wookie backed her up with a menacing growl.

"--I will just tell Celiana that you are busy with other lovers to come to her club," the droid cowered, bowing and beginning to shuffle towards the door.

Nyree's eyes popped open, she sat upright, her bare upper body was assaulted with the frigid cold of the Sky Princess' night-time air filters. "No, wait. What? What is happening? Don't do that."

The droid paused, "Then what should I tell her, your grace?"

Nyree rolled out of bed, sitting on the bench at the foot of her expansive bed. "Tell her we will be right over. Let me see the rest of the transmission."

The Sky Princess' loading ramp descended silently and with quick efficiency. Deeper, her chrome colored protocol droid, was the first to go down. Next was A Wookiee, brandishing a heavy blaster cannon proudly and a pair of scout goggles around its neck. Next was a beautiful, fair skinned gal wearing a low-cut and showy shimmersilk shirt and black bantha leather vest with matching tight pants. They both left, finding themselves somewhere with some other business to do on Coruscant.

Nyree came last, her knee-high leather boots clacked on the metal with each swaying step. Past them, her white fish-net stockings vanished in her pleated black leather mini skirt that swayed tantalizingly with each step she took. Her plaid top was tucked in it partially, and buttoned down half way, which teased at her white bra underneath as she descended.

"What's shakin' bae?" Nyree asked when she was finally within ear shot of @Celiana. "You have some sort of 'expansion' going on?"

 

[Celiana]

I was waiting outside my club, spinning my force imbued karambit knife around in circular patterns I saw a ship coming in. A loading ramp descended and then a chrome-plated protocol droid. Then a Wookiee....a heavily armed wookiee. Then a Mirialan, an attractive one at that. I inhaled and flicked my eyes after the two crew members, then I flicked my eyes to the last one out emerging. Nyree Justice... her boots clacking around and the overall outfit.... hmmm. After being asked what's shakin I smirked and said "Well I'll be shakin' you later cyar'ika. However right now I have a location in the unknown regions that would be ideal for setting up a shadowport. Smuggler haven for you, port for your ships, a sort of mobile base for me. I'm looking to expand my base of operations and as a business partner I thought you'd be interested."

I inhaled again and picked up the scent of both the Wookiee and the Mirialan girl on Nyree's skin. My purple eyes flicked over her body appreciatively and leaning in I said "Maybe next time include me in your fun. I can smell them on you." My eyes flicked towards her crew then back to her. "In any case....we'll be taking off again here if you want to grab some gear. I have spares of pretty much everything plus your crew can come with I've got plenty of room aboard my ship. I'll give you a couple minutes to grab whatever you need Nyree." Moving in against her I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck and kissed her lips before nipping them slightly and pulling back away softly.

I was looking forward to this, it'd been awhile since I'd expanded. Now I had the chance to do some expansion with a partner. Plus It'd give me a way to have a mobile and secret base of sorts in the unknown regions....

Nyree's Mando'a was rusty, but she was polygot enough to get by covnersationally. She wasn't about to translate any torpedo making guides into the language or anything--but she could do what she had to in the by in by to hold a conversation.

"Udessii dala, not in front of Deeper," she cooed back with a smirk on her face at Celina's flirting.

"Oh, good heavens," the droid wailed in surprise at the statement. He took a few stumbling steps backwards to the ship, "I should--I--oh my. Good heavens. Oh dear."

Nyree rolled her eyes as the mechanical assistant waddled away up the stairs as fast as his bipedial legs could carry him.

Business partner was--well, it was an understatement. Nyree had no idea how much she was like her father that she didn't know. There was never enough of a good thing, let alone a great thing. She nodded, her curled hair bobbing as she did. "I can always use more havens. What do the initial readings show int he manner of life support on board?"

She wanted to know what to procure and stash on board. She would want to buy it off the black market, possibly second hand with the VIN numbers filed off. While lifesupport systems were almost common place these days, you could never be too careful when setting up a shadow port in the deep darks.

Nyree gave a giggle and an innocent shrug. She batted her eyes, her dark brown eyes glistening in the neon lights of the undercity around them. Her long fake eyelashes were almost large enough to move the wind itself with each movement.

"Why, I have no idea what you mean," she said feigning innocence. It was a lie that they both could see through. She placed her hand on the center of her chest, the palm of her hand met her own bare flesh. "I'm a well-behaved, respectable businesswoman of great means. I would never engage in that sort of act," her lips took a devilish grin, "without enjoying the hell out of it."

She kissed Cel back with equal passion. When the blonde moved to leave after the kiss, Nyree's hand swung in for a solid hit on her backside. Nyree couldn't fight, shoot, stab, slash, punch or kick--but man she could slap some ass. "Go get warmed up for me. Er--the ship. Er--whatever."

She whistled to the other "crew members" that had just finished their run with her. They were both hired for their own skills--and not just the ones on the mattress. "Hey, Zika, Mawacca, you two good for one more ride? Standard rate."

They both looked at her, then to each other, nodded and turned back to join her for one more ride--which may have included a lap ride. The brunette sprang back onto the Sky Princess, her boots clacking with each step. She hummed softly as she pulled her latest satchel bag from under her bed, one of the latest fashion runs she grabbed last week. It had a few bits of her surviving gear inside, things she found she would probably need when it hit the fan and things got real for her on tough jobs like these. With it slung over her shoulder, Nyree hurried back to Celina's ship.

"Ok, fam, let's get that bread," she shouted, announcing her arrival with a shout.

Smiling at Nyree's little bit of Mando'ade I smirked as she mentioned not in front of the droid. The droid waddled off and she asked about the initial readings of life support... Looking at her I said "The scans regarding life support were that there was a system aboard but that it was badly damaged. That being said I have pretty much everything we'll need to plug in a life support system and get it running." She played at innocence saying she'd never.... without enjoying the hell out of it. Smirking I felt Nyree kiss my lips....by the goddesses she had soft lips.... Then I felt her hand come crashing down against my arse. Breathing out in a ragged breath I heard her tell me to go get warmed up for her. Then her correct herself, smirking I walked behind the club and simply jumped off the platform.

I fell for a few seconds and extending my left gauntlet I fired a cable launcher into an overhang and swung myself onto a platform. Jogging down a few flights of stairs I waved open the durasteel doors and walked out onto my cloaked docking pad. Jogging down the landing pad I waved open the doors of The Morrigan and with a flick of though I started up my ship. Tapping the control for the shipboard pa system I said "Ares I'll need you to arrange quarters for guests. A Wookiee and a Mirialan in fact, along with that do a quick check in on supplies for zero -g exploration. EVA suits and such." I was curious to see how Ares would be with other people...I mean after all I'd essentially blended a true AI to the body of a Echani priestess.

I waited for a few seconds then I heard her say "aye mistress it'll be done." I checked over everything then released the clamps holding The Morrigan. Using maneuvering jets the Morrigan rose, cloaked up to the platform by my club. I saw that the Wookiee and Mirialan were heading back to Nyree's ship to grab gear. I saw her pop back out of her ship The Sky Princess...tapping a few controls I scanned in her ship's transponder signature and dropped the cloak while Nyree was speaking. The boarding ramp extended and I headed out to escort Nyree and companions aboard. Odds were she'd be at least a little shocked at my having dropped the cloaking. As it was I'd paid an exorbitant amount for that ability on my ship. Something told me Nyree would enjoy her stay aboard....

Stepping out onto the boarding ramp I said "Come on aboard The Morrigan cya'rika bring your friends too."

There wasn't a whole hell of a lot left to do on this planet. Bag over shoulder, she watched the Morrigan materialize before her. The gal had seen a lot of ships in her day. Big ships. Small ships. Little ships. Weird ships. Metal ships. Living ships. And yes, stealth ships too. But there was always something fun about watching a stealth ship appear out of nowhere.

She bound forward and gave [member="Celiana"] a gentle squeeze on the bum. What could she say? Nyree knew what she liked. "Thanks for bringing the toys around."

The Wookiee and Mirialan stopped dead in their tracks seeing the exchange. They exchanged awkward glances, then looked to Nyree, then Celiana, back to each other then the floor again. Nyree stopped at the top of the ramp, spying the two hesitant passengers who were supposed to be following and coming with. She placed both of her hands on her hips, "Well the two of you gonna just stand there or you gonna come with?"

"Well," Began Zika the Mirialan.

"Well nothing," Nyree said storming back down to the base of the ramp, hands on her hips. The wind caught her skirt as she descended, showing a bit more than what was probably decent of what lay under the hood. "You two gonna let a night in the sack ruin a week's worth of decent employment or you gonna woman and man up to the task?"

The two looked at each other and shrugged before falling back in line behind her. Nyree marched back up the ramp. She looked back to Celiana, "Where should I put my bag?"

 

[Celiana]

Smirking at the gentle squeeze from Nyree I said "I know what the ladies like." I sensed a feeling of awkwardness from the Wookiee and Mirialan. Nyree took advantage to put them in place, I simply reached out with The Force and used a gentle nod of suggestion to help put them at ease. As she put them in place and I gave a gentle suggestion towards them I caught....feth, that was a nice view. As they came aboard I heard Nyree ask where she should put her bag. Smiling I took the bag from her and said "Follow me Nyree. As for your friends they can crash in the cabins by mine. If y'all will follow me we'll be right this way..." I waved the Morrigan's hatch shut and stepping past the cockpit I flicked the controls to take us into orbit and begin our jump to hyperspace.

Heading down the hall towards the lift I headed into the turbolift with my guests. Heading up to deck 1 I said "You're going to be quartered with me Nyree, however each cabin has basically the same accomodations as mine. We'll be leaving Coruscant airspace briefly and then have some downtime while we're in transit to our final destination. Feel free to summon a droid to bring any refreshments at all. I've got refreshers in each cabin, showers as well." There was a soft chime and the lift doors opened. Heading down a hall I waved open my cabin doors and looking at Nyree I said "Go ahead and put your stuff wherever."

Spoiler

I saw the Mirialan girl's eyes widen along with the Wookiee's. Waving open the adjoining cabins I looked at them and said "Go ahead, they're both fully stocked with a variety of clothes as well feel free to take whatever appeals to you clothing wise. Dinner is something I'm fond of making so whenever you're wanting we can all grab some food but again feel free to call droids for whatever you need." I let the shock wear off as I looked at Nyree and gestured for her to follow me to my cabin...

Nyree took her bag and fell in line with Celiana. Zika and Mawacca looked at each other then gave a shrug of surprise. They were professional hired guns--but to tell you the truth, Nyree didn't run them like your normal boss or gun runner. To say that it was something odd that they weren't used to, was an understatement. Even still, the teen kept them on their toes. There was no knowing what to expect when it came to this brunette.

Nyree's skirt bounced with each peppy step as she skipped down the passage after Celiana humming a playful tune. She vanished around the corner.

Mawacca gave a low, curious growl.

"Oh hell yeah, they are definitely doing it," Zika agreed with a nod.

Mawacca gave a short, shrill growl.

"I don't think there's anything that teen wouldn't do, honestly."

Nyree popped her head back from around the corner, "Heard that." Zika's green cheeks grew a flushed, her mouth gaped open. Nyree gave a slick smile, "And yeah, there is. I won't do Hutts or Uggos. Toodles."

The brunette vanished again, following behind Celiana. Was this all just an elaborate ruse to get Nyree in the bedchambers again? Nyree wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. She was, after all one heck of a gal and was more used to it than not. She also wouldn't have complained too much.
