Toa's Palace - [OPEN]

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

Toa has made it back to his Palace in Jakku. He sends in a Hologram to all Crime Lords, Gamblers, Droids, Sith, Smugglers, and Hutts "Hello, Toa's Palace is having a Big Gambling Jackpot, but it's only for today, come while you can."

 

[Erick Louie]

With Super TD-T47's new winnings from playing Sabacc earlier at Toa's palace, he decided to join the Gambling jackpot. He walks over to Toa with no rush and asks, "How many credits for a buy-in in the Jackpot?"

 

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

[member="Super TD-T47"] Toa walks over to the Super-Tactical Droid "Nice seeing you again, It's 100 credits per draw!"

Dressing like a smuggler wasn't hard; neither was finding Toa's palace. The gregarious crime lord had made a name for himself and attracted all sorts of visitors. Kells, with his lightsaber hidden, blended right in.

The palace offered beautiful shelter from the Jakku sun. Kells sank a hundred credits into the jackpot and found the darkest possible corner. Time to be inconspicuous.

Super TD-T47 placed in his 100 credit draw and asked Vee Toa, "What type of games will we be playing for the jackpot?"

While he asked the question his mechanical and superior eye began to analyze any worthy opponents.

 

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

[member="Super TD-T47"] Blackjack, Blackout, and Mystery Jackpots.

 

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

[member="Lanter Kells"] Welcome, HEY, you seem familiar, I think I've ran in to you, I don't remember you being a Smuggler, but having a LIGHTSABER!

 

[Erick Louie]

Super TD-T47 though to himself, "If my calculations are correct then I should take 3 draws, however to provide precaution I will take 5 draws."

He reserved 3 matches in Blackjack and 2 for the Mystery Jackpot. He was going to wait before playing and see the other competitors fight each other.

As he was watching, he heard a shout by Toa to some smuggler. But as he looked closer his facial recognition module detected something. The module knew who it was and was wanted by the First Order, but it didn't provide any actual information on who it was.

[member="Super TD-T47"] Toa grabs TD's arm "Psst, I think he is trying to force a settlement on us, or try and jail us!"

 

[Erick Louie]

Super TD-T47 was all of a sudden at full alert. The only reason he was off gambling was to wait and try to avoid from suspicious eyes. Super TD-T47 began to reach for his blaster watching closely on the stronger. He whispered back to Toa, “Call in your palace security guards, luckily we are at Jakku there will be no essential witnesses here.”

[member="Super TD-T47"] 10 of Toa's Palace Guards show up, all guns were pointed at Lanter even Toa's and TD'S "Give your ID Jedi!"

Well, so much for infiltration. And with a dozen blasters pointed at him, so much for getting out of here clean.

"I'm not carrying ID," said Lanter, raising his hands slowly. "I'm not here to hurt anyone, just looking for a friend. All there is to it."

 

[Erick Louie]

Super TD-T47 glanced at Toa and put his gun down. He then said, "I came here to gamble not shoot. Toa you can do whatever you want this person, call me if you find out anything else about him."

Super TD-T47 was still wondering who that smuggler was. His face recognition picked him up, but it had no information. To be cautious he called his lieutenant, B1-449 to come by as security. He then went back to watch the other gambling competitors.

[B1-449]

B1-449 walked in the palace carrying his E-5 blaster rifle, he saw the commotion with guards aiming at some smuggler. He eventually found Super TD-T47 and walked over, waiting for further orders.

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

@B1-449 Welcome Lieutenant, I have been waiting for you to arrive, this might be a bad time, we found a Jedi being caught with Espionage!

 

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

[member="Lanter Kells"] Who do you work for? Either way, you'll be trialed with Espionage!

Not good - that tactical droid was gone, and another combat droid had replaced it. Kells kept his hands up.

"I work with the Galactic Alliance." Not a safe thing to admit this close to First Order strongholds, but the Alliance was close to Jakku as well. "Yeah, I'm a Jedi. Like I said, I'm just looking for someone." He made a slow gesture with his hands raised, trying to pull off a mind trick without being noticed. "I'm not spying."

 

[B1-449]

[member="Lanter Kells"][member="Vee Toa"][member="Super TD-T47"]

"I speak on behalf of my general, Super TD-T47. We know you have been spying, state who you are looking for." B1-449 sees Lanter's hand wave and recognized it as a jedi mind trick. He fires a warning shot at his foot, surprising him.

"Foolish Jedi! Mind tricks don't work on droids! Your life depends on your answer."

 

[Vee Toa(Hutt Rep)]

[member="B1-449"][member="Lanter Kells"] It doesn't matter what Alliance you're in now! Frankly none of the people in my palace are dim witted enough to fall for your mind trick Jedi! YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED OF ESPIONAGE, I hope you're prepared for the consequences! TAKE HIM AWAY!

There was no beating odds like this. Kells surrendered his blaster and lightsaber, then let himself be cuffed and led away. What they'd do with him was anyone's guess.
