The Totally Very Legal Acquirement of a Ship (PM if you wish to join)

[Kes En'jusek]

As Raven and Kes hovered at a descent enough altitude in their recently acquired Bearclaw, Kes was surprised that thus far no one had given them chase. Perhaps no one had yet realised that the two security officers she had just slain were missing. Although it wouldn't be long she surmised, and when they would finally realise that the Bearclaw was missing, they were likely to send fighters looking. Speaking of which, something on the ship's viewpoint caught Kes' attention.

"Umm Raven what is that in the distance? Looks like a group of M3-A Scyk fighters closing in on that other ship. That other ship appears to fit the description of the one the other team were gonna boost? I think that's why the delay in communication, they're in trouble. We need to help them, and we need to do it fast. If you sneak up on them, we can take them by surprise. That will also help Cawrion and Atin as they won't have all their work cut out. I'll go charge up the guns. Hurry, hurry."

Kes would frantically suggest as she began powering up the Bearclaw's weapons systems.

Although nothing pleased Azalyn more than others appraising her flying, she kept her emotions in check. When [member="Kes En'jusek"] spotted the incoming ships. She wasted no time. Her fingers were a blur as they danced across the control deck, activating stealth and speeding off to the rescue.
"We're off. And by the way, I could introduce you to Miss Blonde. Once you're a Black Tie, we'll probably be working together quite a bit anyways."

 

[Kes En'jusek]

As Raven frantically worked on the Bearclaw's controls and gunned the ship towards the others, Kes couldn't help up grin.

"Yes I would appreciate that Raven, being introduced to Miss Blonde. I think we are in for a future together in working for the Black Tie. I do look forward to it. We just have to see this mission through first. Although I think we got this one in the bag Raven."

A continues peeping from the console told him that they had locked on his ship, then they fired their torpedoes. Luckily this ship was equipped with multiple anti rocket measures, unfortunately it wasn’t the fastest ship in the galaxy so as soon as they noticed that rockets wouldn’t work they would just fly closer to use their blaster canons. He shook the thoughts out of his head, his was confident that the others would come to his aid, but he’d like to be alive and the ship unharmed until then, so concentrate idiot he thought to himself. He fired the chaff launchers to intercept the missiles. Then Cawrion turned and dived wildly as much as ship allowed him to, trying to avoid the blaster shots from the faster ship. He couldn’t keep this up forever though, time to do something crazy to buy some time.

Cawrion’s hands flew over the control getting the ship ready for this maneuver, quickly editing buttons so they would do exactly the things he wanted them to. He shouted over the engines “Hold on dude, this may me uncomfortable for your stomach!” This maneuver would be much easier if he had his new ship, but he was just hoping it would work. Then he turned off his main thrusters, manipulated the stabilizing engines flipping the ship down so it’s nose pointed towards the ground. Then he activated the main thrusters at full throttle end the ship shot straight down. He heard the whining of engine and metal as he put too much strain on the ship. He pulled out of the dive, confident that he hadn’t damaged the ship however, he couldn’t do that again, for that probably would blow out the engine and then they’d just plummet to the ground. Please get your ass over here he thought, I can’t keep this up for much longer.

[Kes En'jusek]

As Raven raced towards the other ship, Kes along with Raven would see the outrageously crazy stunt manoeuvre performed by the pilot, most likely Cawrion, of the other ship.

"Look at him go, that's one crazy arse pilot out there! Yet I have a feeling he wont be able to pull that off again quite so easily or with such success. Those M3-A Scyk fighters have almost bared down on them. It's all up to you now Raven to save the day and be the hero."

Kes then momentarily looked at Raven in the eye, even though she was busy concentrating in flying the ship.

"I have all faith in you, you can do it!"

[NightSister]

Azalyn smiled slightly under her mask and accelerated, zooming over to [member="Cawrion Chyrox"] and [member="Atin Vendet"]. Gesturing for [member="Kes En'jusek"] to take the firing position, she swerved through the M3A Scyk fighters, weaving in between the attacking fleet and throwing them off. Until Kes began to fire she could only distract the fighters and attempt to buy time, but she was confident she could still do that. She flew into the ships in a way that got them out of the way without damaging her ship, and looped through them again and again, not stopping. She couldn't hide her grin now - she rarely got to use such daring manouevres in her everyday flying and she was having the time of her life. By now the fighters were more focused on the Bearclaw than the other ship, but they couldn't hit them no matter how hard they tried.
Breathing heavily, she kept looping through the ships. "We're fine. She's a pretty impressive ship. A few scratches, but it'll sell for the same. Now, we just have to get out of here before they remember we aren't the only ones stealing a ship. As soon as they're ready we're off to hyperspace."

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes took very much a back seat as Raven did her thing. Of course Kes was firing the guns at the enemy fighters, however all that was really doing was scratching the surface of their ships. However it did help disrupt them a little, despite the fact that most of that was due to Raven's impressive piloting skills. The only person Kes knew that was as good as Raven was Mako Zaneca. Yet Raven was more than her, like Kes, she was also a formidable fighter and assassin, rather than a useless peace loving being like Mako. Kes really admired Raven's overall talent and persona.

"Wow Raven, this is one piece of awesome piloting. Although as good as you definitely are, I hope like umm, he gets the heck moving outta here soon. Because I hate to spell it to you Raven, your extraordinary piloting skills can only hold those fighters off for so long. Sooner or later they'll blow us out of the sky too if we don't scram outta here.

Cawrion was instantly a little extra happy about having Azalyn with him on this, she had balls and was one heck of a pilot. Now the only thing left was to make the jump, he shouted over the com “Great job everyone, now let’s bail. I’m making the jump I suggest you do the same! And that was some extra fancy flying there!” Then his finger once again flew over the controls, this time to calculate the jump to hyperspace. He was sure the others would be right behind him so he punched the button and they made the jump to hyperspace.

[Kes En'jusek]

As [member="Cawrion Chyrox"]'s voice crackled through the comm speaker, Kes looked directly at Raven.

"Okay girl, you've proven your worth as an elite pilot, however he's just given us the go ahead to go. Those fighters I'm afraid are about to get the better of us, even with such an awesome pilot at the controls of our ship. So whenever you care to do so, pretty please with sugar on top, feel free to punch that hyperdrive and get us the heck out of this hell."

Kes laughed a little as she spoke, laughter was a rarity for her, yet she was impressed at [member="Azalyn Falconer"]'s piloting skills that she could somewhat afford to make herself laugh knowing that they would soon most definitely be making their escape.

[NightSister]

Adrenaline still coursing through her, Azalyn leapt into hyperspace in a second.

"Right then, we're safe," she said, trying to hide her satisfaction. "There are drinks in the back - wait, this isn't the Peregrine. Never mind." She grinned, her eyes creasing at the corners so that even only her eyes, showing, her cheerfulness was evident. "We can celebrate when we land, I guess."

[member="Cawrion Chyrox"] [member="Atin Vendet"] [member="Kes En'jusek"]

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes simply giggled a little at Raven's remarks after they had made the jump.

"I'm sure we can have a drink together once all this is finally over. We could get to know each other a little better and you can tell me more about Miss Blonde."

Kes smiled at her, yet she wondered what Raven's face looked like fully. Up until now, her face had been mostly covered up in that Kes could only see her eyes.

I am terribly sorry but my answer will come a little late, have to get my sleep and will be off work and able to answer in 18 hours (hopefully less)

Once in Hyperspace he walked around on the ship. On his way in he saw a bunch of crates in the hangar, now was the time to check out what was inside. He got to the cargo hold and opened one of the crates, he couldn’t believe his eyes. It was Corellian Whisky, he quickly grabbed a bottle to check what reserve, he gasped could he be this lucky he looked at the number and was a little disappointed, I t was a Whyren’s Reserve, but it hadn’t been one of the super rare ones, those things per crate were worth as much as this ship. These weren’t cheap though, they still would sell for about 20 000 credits per crate. There were 6 so minus the bottles they would share when they landed they still should be around 30 000 extra credits for each of them. He walked up to the cockpit again and told [member="Atin Vendet"] “Hey we got lucky, those crates down there are filled with Correlian Reserve, that’s around another 30 000 credits for each” he grinned at the Mandalorian, surely he loved that stuff just as he did.

Cawrion was now waiting outside the ship with four bottles the whisky in a small crate, on the way here he had deactivated all tracking beacons that would have them followed and hoped that the others had done the same, although unlikely that they were followed all the way here, but he didn’t want to take risks. He stood there watching the sky waiting for his partners in this.

[NightSister]

Azalyn landed next to [member="Cawrion Chyrox"] and [member="Atin Vendet"], then took a moment to make sure there were no goods in the back. Upon checking, she found several crates of metal parts, which could probably be used to fix and upgrade most mechanisms. It wouldn't sell for much, but the metal was infinitely useful to anybody owning a ship, which meant that she could use her share to make a few upgrades on the Peregrine, something she'd been meaning to do for a while. She left the ship behind [member="Kes En'jusek"], carrying the crates.

"Well, we're all in one piece," she said cheerfully as she put the crates down. "Four crates of metal parts, so we can fix any damage these ships got from those fighters if need be."

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes was glad to finally put her feet on the ground.

"Looks like we all pulled it off and got out in one piece. Hey Raven if you need more of that metal to fix your own ship, you can have whatever you need from my share for free. [member="Cawrion Chyrox"] and I had already agreed to allow me to keep the Bearclaw. Due to your outstanding flying, it has received hardly any damage."

Kes would pat Raven on the shoulder as she spoke giving her a cheerful grin.

"I wander what I could name the ship, perhaps The Raven's Claw? Just so it can remind me of you. I don't usually get along with many people, however I find you a warm and welcoming person to be around Raven. For this I'm grateful and hold much respect for you."

Kes nodded slightly to Raven as she spoke to her truthfully.

"Now it appears that the others have some fine Corellian Whisky on their ship. I say it's time we celebrate. Camon Raven let's go join the others."

Kes once again placed her hand on Raven's shoulder and began walking in the direction of where the others were.

Cawrion smiled at the two coming out of the ship “Due to some good flying I may add, I’m a pretty good pilot, but this chunk isn’t really that manoeuvrable unfortunately. But good job everyone! I also have a small gift for all” Cawrion would now hand out a flask of the whisky, one for each.

Now holding his up in a toast “to a job well done, a job without backstabbing or tricks, hurray for that!” Then he would take a big gulp to then add “Now let’s get on with slicing these things so that we can sell them, also I hope you disabled any locater devices on that ship, because if not we should move”

[member="Kes En'jusek"] - [member="Azalyn Falconer"] - [member="Atin Vendet"]

 

[NightSister]

"Warm and welcoming, huh? I must not be doing my job right," Azalyn grinned as they walked over to the others. As [member="Cawrion Chyrox"] toasted the operation she drank the whiskey gladly - because she was always on missions, she rarely got to enjoy a drink and this Corellian Reserve was of the best quality.

"No locator devices on the Bearclaw," she informed the others. "All the same we should probably move once we've finished up."

 

[Kes En'jusek]

As the 4 were once again reunited, Kes gladly took her drink of Corellian Whisky and gulped it down.

"Man that was so soothing, especially after all that episode."

She then approached [member="Cawrion Chyrox"] to remind him of their arrangement.

"So as we agreed, the Bearclaw is mine, which means I don't get any credits from the sale of the other ship. Also when you rename the ship's with any final slicing, you can rename the Bearckaw to The Raven's Claw." Kes would grin with a cocky facial expression while turning her head slightly and winking an eye at Raven.

"Okay and lastly I concur with Raven on that we shouldn't hang around here for too long, and move once we're all done and dusted with everything."

[member="Azalyn Falconer"], [member="Atin Vendet"]

 

[The Crow]

Cawrion took another sib of the whisky before speaking “Great that there are no trackers, so i#ll get to work them. I’ll do yours first” nodding to Kes

“and I’ll change the name as well, and we’ll leave as soon as I’m done, should be done in 15-30 minutes with both, it is somewhat intricate work” then Cawrion walked towards the Bearclaw and started slicing the system

[member="Kes En'jusek"] - [member="Azalyn Falconer"] - [member="Atin Vendet"]

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes had taken another shot of Corellian Whisky as [member="Cawrion Chyrox"] got to work advising that he would get to work on slicing and reading the Bearclaw for Kes first.

"Thank you greatly sir, it has been a pleasure working with you. I guess after you're done, that will be it for me." Kes would give the man a half lob sided grin, almost disappointed that it was all finally over and that soon they would have to be parting ways.

"Of course despite my cold nature in taking pleasure in killing, I do honour all my agreements. This means our other part of our deal, that you may call upon me at anytime for use of my services still stands."

Kes handed Cawrion a small device. It was a small but complex communications device.

"Don't lose that Cawrion. It's how to get into contact with me. And please don't tamper with it. Technology from my home world is a little alien and if you break it, you might find tracking me down when you need me a little tad difficult."

Kes winked an eye at the man as he then left to begin work on the ships. Turning to Raven she then would get the details on how to get into contact with Miss Blonde from her.

"I would say that will mean we'll be seeing more of each other in the future Raven. I look forward to it. Working with you was exceptional and was a pleasure."

Kes would finish of with a grin as they then used the remaining time to chill a little while they waited for Cawrion to be done with the ships.
