Public An Ill-Advised Repair Stop

A dented wall. A steering system that barely worked. A finicky temperature control system. The list went on and on. The point was, Glar Ulchtar needed to get his Ship repaired before it completely stopped working. Glar did not even know why he still had a heavily modified LAAT/I Gunship that dated back to the Clone Wars.

Glar accessed a small, holographic star map, and looked at where he was. He was in a patch of neutral territory that had not yet been claimed by one of the Confederacy’s upstart successor governments. The nearest habitable celestial object was Pantora. Pantora would be just fine for repairs. Or so Glar thought.

About an hour later, Glar had landed his ship in a small town on the Pantoran surface. He left it at a Repair Dock for maintenance, which would take about an hour or two. In the meantime, Glar decided to find something to do. Upon walking out of the Repair Dock, he found that the weather was bitterly cold.

Glar almost immediately walked through the door of a nearby building in order to avoid the foul weather. Glar looked around the building he had walked into. It seemed to be a blaster dealership. Blasters of various shapes and sizes were displayed throughout the store, most of which were knockoffs of blasters used by the Empire or the Galactic Alliance. There were about twelve people in the store, counting Glar, the cashier (a rather bored looking Givin), and a Pantoran salesman who was currently trying to sell a blaster pistol to a rather unimpressed Human.

What really caught Glar’s attention though, were the three Pykes who didn’t seem to be looking at anything. Glar rarely saw Pykes other than himself this far away from Oba Dia, especially not in groups like these three. The one who seemed to be the leader began to casually approach Glar. The leader was wearing a grey mask with a long, green scar running down the side of it.
“It is not often that we Pykes meet each other this far away from the Homeworld.” The leader of the group said in the Pyke language. His voice had just a hint of assertiveness in it. In response, Glar said “Well, the Galaxy is a full of random, one off meetings, I suppose. I wouldn’t look too deeply into it.”

Glar began slowly moving towards the exit of the building. The Pyke standing in front of him said “Leaving already? Perhaps you did not notice, but I would like to have a polite conversation with you first.” As he was saying this, another Pyke walked into the store, and lingered close to the exit. Clearly, Glar was not going to get out of this situation peacefully. The only weapon Glar had with him was his lightsaber, and of course his force abilities. The blasters displayed in the store would be no help to him, as they were all powered off.

Pantora.

It was an excellent place to stop, all things considered if one didn't mind the humid winters accentuated by the bone-biting winter winds.

She pulled her coat tighter as she hurried towards the building closest to the spaceport. She paused at the doorway, blocked by four Pykes.

She paused as she reached the door, frowning at the sight in front of her.

"Could y'all move out of the doorway," Aeshi said, stuffing her hands deeper in her pockets and shuffling her boots. "It's colder than a shaved bantha out here."

There was an undercurrent of tension she was picking up on, both in the Force and the body language of the four Pykes. Whatever it was, it wasn't her problem unless they made it her problem.

"Could y'all move out of the doorway," Aeshi said, stuffing her hands deeper in her pockets and shuffling her boots. "It's colder than a shaved bantha out here."

The four Pykes blocking Glar’s exit begrudgingly stepped away from the door in order to let this new arrival in. Glar took advantage of this momentary distraction to move away from the group. He approached the Pantoran salesman, who had given up trying to sell anything to the unimpressed human. Glar began speaking to him about a random blaster displayed near by. “Could you tell me about this IB-523?“

“Sure thing!” the salesman said. “The IB-523 is the latest blaster pistol from BlasTech Industries. It’s an improvement over the—“

The salesman abruptly stopped speaking, and collapsed on the ground. Behind him the scar-faced Pyke. He was holding an ornate dagger, exclusively used by the Pyke Syndicate. It was covered in the salesman’s blood. “Did you really think that talking would get you out of this, Glar Ulchtar?” the Pyke asked.

Aeshi shuffled through the small crowd of Pykes, arms wrapped tight around her jacket as she moved close to the heating vent. With a sigh of relief, she moved even closer to it, letting the heat soak into her bones.

The idle chatter rippled past her senses, until it was suddenly cut off by a flash of warning in the Force, only moments before something hot and wet sprayed across the back of her neck. Aeshi held still, listening.

Well, that indeed clarified things. Pyke Syndicate business. She could just barely make out the shape of the dagger in the polished transparisteel of the window.

So much for a relaxing stopover on somewhere warm and some decent food. After a moment, she rolled her shoulders, feeling the muscles relax as she stretched them out.

"That was very unwise of you all," Aeshi said after a moment, pitching her voice to bounce off the window in front of her, where she could make out the blurred shapes of the Pykes. "Murder? In the open? With witnesses and undoubtedly security footage? This is a gun store after all."
