A Bounty to a Proposition

[Madalyn Salvari]

​

Madalyn sits down in a comfortable chair in her family's Naboo retreat. She looked upon the beautiful lake and took a deep breath. The calm and peacefulness brought her back to her many memories with her family as child. It's been years since any of them have been here. She was here alone though. She had left the stress and corruption of the Republic, and was sitting here, trying to meditate about what she should do next in her life. She didn't want to return home, but where else could she go? Her only connections were in the Republic, and she intends to stay far from that.

Gah, why am I thinking about these things right now? I am here to relax, she thinks to herself and rids the thoughts from her mind. She closes her eyes and begins to drift off...

Profit was the name of the game as Brax's D5 lowered into the Naboo hangar.
Naboo, for the rich and watery. Perfect place to start looking for this...
[member="Madalyn Salvari"] 's name popped up in the corner of Brax's HUD.
...Madalyn. OK, time to do some recon, ask around, get some info. Standard kidnap-the-princess protocol.
And Brax stepped into the streets of Naboo.

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

After waking up from her short nap, Madalyn stood up.
I'm kind of hungry...
Since she was the first person to be at the house in years, there obviously wasn't any food left, so she had to go somewhere to eat. She headed out to Moenia, the closest city to the house.

After arriving, she couldn't exactly figure out what or where she wanted to eat, so she decided to just stroll around for a bit isntead.

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Moenia. This place has some decent food. Maybe one or two of the locals know this Madalyn character.
Brax takes in the scenery.
Even diplomats have to eat, right?
He strolls into the nearest diner to get some intel and a meal.

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

After strolling around, she finally finds a diner she'd be interested in. She walks in and the server takes her to her seat. She asks for some Alderaanian Wine. The server brings it to her and she takes a sip and sets it down. She starts to look at her surroundings and notices that there's a mixed group at the diner. She sees a Mandalorian with bright orange armor sitting alone, a Twi'lek family eating together, some Omega Procterate officials and a large group of Gungans.
The galaxy is one big place.

 

[Brax Hadshill]

A faint beeping came from Brax's helmet as Madalyn passed by it.
It went unnoticed as he was preoccupied with his correllian fried ice cream and ale.
Not much of a meal, but it'll be enough to get me through the day and find this mark.
He continued eating.

[Madalyn Salvari]

She watched the Mandalorian man eat his food while she waited for hers. She looked at one of the screens in the diner that was playing one of the many galactic sports which she had almost no interest in.
​Over glorified athletes just doing meaningless stuff. Though, the economic and social aspects of them are quite fascinating.
As she thought this over, the server brought her food: Stewed Kebroot, an old favorite of hers from home. She looked away from the screen and started to eat her food.

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Brax had finished off his food and took a moment to watch the sports on the displays.
Yeah, sport. They should try taking a bounty or two, that'll prove their worth teir pay.
Brax put his helmet back on and immediately noticed the beeping.
He slowly turned to look at [member="Madalyn Salvari"] highlighted on his HUD, and took a moment to let it sink in that he completely missed her walk in.
Kriff. If this is just a sign of things to come, I've got my work cut out for me.
He waved down a waiter and asked for another ale.
It'd be smart for me to just observe for now.
And he pretended to go back to watching sports.

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

Madalyn notices the Mandalorian put his helmet on and look at her. He looked at her for a slight longer than she would have liked...
Hmm... Maybe I'm just over thinking it.
She looks away from him and just focuses on her food again.
Why was he looking at me....?
She can't keep the event out of her mind.
I hate bounty hunters, they make me second guess every person I meet, besides... there's gotta be no way a bounty hunter would be looking for me of all people... So he's probably not one.
But she still feels cautious about it, so she finishes up her food, leaves more than enough credits on the table, and leaves quickly.

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

He notices [member="Madalyn Salvari"] get up and leave, waits a moment, then gets up and follows her.
The chase begins
He takes care not to get too close, and tries not to look suspicious.
Orange. great choice in camoflauge. Brax, Sometimes you're a total genius.
[member="Madalyn Salvari"]

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

She walks out into the busy streets of Moenia. She heads out trying to find a speeder taxi to take her back to her house, but before she does, she sees the Mandalorian exit the diner as well.
Oh my god, this isn't happening
She walks through crowds of people, trying to hide away from the man IF he were to be following her. She had no hard evidence that the man was following her, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Brax watches [member="Madalyn Salvari"] weave through crowds.
And she's catching on. Wonderful.
Brax has his HUD tag Madalyn to keep an eye on her, and he moves inside to find his way to some rooftops.

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

Madalyn turns around and notices that the Mandalorian doesn't appear to be behind her anymore.
Ok... Maybe I WAS overreacting...
She slows down her pace and casually walks along to the taxi center and enters the building. She finds the nearest droid taxi, and hops onto the speeder, and pays the droid to take her home.

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Ok, a taxi out. Not hard to track.
He sets his HUD to track the taxi as well, and to display its relative position on his motion tracker.
Now, where are you headed?
He navigates from rooftop to rooftop, eventually descending back into an alleyway as he tails the taxi.
[member="Madalyn Salvari"]

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

Madalyn arrives back to her house, feeling tired because of the time. She's been up since morning and it was now almost midnight.
Well... a guess it's time to go to sleep since there is nothing better to do.
She walks into the closet where she kept the clothes she brought with her, and begins changing into something appropriate to sleep in. After that, she lays down in one of the many beds in the house, and messes around on her datapad, as she always does before going to sleep.
[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Swanky.
Brax thinks to himself as he he looks over the front of the house.
And probably loaded. If I weren't an honorable bounty hunter, I'd contemplate looting the place.
He checks over his gear, making sure everything is in order.
Doing a quick scan over the house, he finds his way onto one of the building's upper balconies, casting Brax's silhouette on the curtains.
His HUD's beeping told him [member="Madalyn Salvari"] was in the room, it looked like she was asleep.
Easy credits.
He used his comms to call his ship's onboard systems and prep its engines for a quick getaway.

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

Madalyn eventually puts her datapad down, and rolls over in bed.
I wonder who that Mandalorian guy really was.
She then begins to drift off to sleep
[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

It was simple, she was asleep in her bed, so he had his ship hover outside her balcony.
Good thing those engines run quiet.
Brax thought to himself as he loaded his cargo into the holding cells.
Now to Csilla. Unless I get a better offer.
Brax took off with his cargo, and was now en route to Csilla.

[member="Madalyn Salvari"]

 

[Madalyn Salvari]

Madalyn awakes. She looks around her surroundings and finds she's not in her bed.
Where the hell am I!?"
She's locked in a cell and hears the engines of a ship. She thinks back to that Mandalorian in orange armor...
Oh no...
"Hello!!!!!???" She screams out.

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Brax turned music on in his cockpit, he didn't care to listen to his cargo. All that was left to do was drop it off.
