Hapan Homecoming

[Armand Temi]

"I don't know that you want to go in that rest room," said Aerona to Leilani. Both of them could hear blaster shots being fired in that vicinity. "In fact, I'm going to call the Royal Guard. But yes, go wait in the doctor's office. It's not safe out here in the hallway."

Armand hadn't heard the shots yet because the Age-renewal Treatment Chamber room was in the very back of the clinic. Plus Tmoxin's voice was really loud and angry and drowned out any other sounds in that area. When she finally finished her demands, the Hapan doctor said, "First of all Tmox, it will take a skilled medical engineer to build a machine like this. And I have to admit that it's not very safe. In my early tests it caused a significant amount of damage to..."

"I don't care," Tmoxin cut off. "I'm not going to build the blasted thing. I'm just going to sell the blueprints to the highest bidder. Now hand them over."

Armand looked over at Verd Skirata and said, "See how quickly her charms wear off?" His temper was flaring now and he was half tempted to pick Tmoxin up and throw her in the machine just to show her how dangerous it actually was if not operated properly.

[Verd Skirata]

Tmoxin was even starting to get on his nerves now. She was clearly only interested in meeting her brother for a profit, but profit wasn't a bad thing. Verd didnt see another way out of this, so he pulled [member="Armand Temi"] to the side "I dont see any way to avoid this, it seems like she has thouht this through. Is there any way you could alter the blueprints to render the machine useless?" He whispered keeping an eye on @Tmoxin to make sure she hadn't come within hearing range of the two people.this might be something that was doable to make the machine slightly less effective, cause it not to work, or even reverse the effects of the machine. He hoped his friend had understood what he meant. It was a slim chance, but it was one idea he had to throw onto the table. Of course even if Armand could do this, would there be enouh time to do so was the problem.

 

[Braha Saca]

Braha's armor without the ray sheilding was just a bunch of durasteel plates, which easily stopped the blaster bolts that had come through the stall door, but he knew it would just take one bad shot to end his life. The bolts packed quite the punch and resisting them was making the plating heat up and start to singe him. He dobe out from his cover letting off a hail of bolts and charged as directly towards the man, [member="Lurcano Car'dann"] as he could. He then dove towards him, aiming to knock the blaster out of his hand. He hoped he wasn't going to be fired on while he sailed throuh the air, but it was his best option at this moment.

 

[Lurcano Car'dann]

Location: Fountain of Youth Clinic
Objective: Deal with Mandlorian

Lurcano cursed as his shots did nothing against the Mandalorians Durasteel plating. He ducked back in behind the wall, expecting the Mandalorian to return fire. He shook his head, checking his weapon as he did so. It was a wonder that he hadn't already been found out. He would've assumed that everyone would have heard their prolonged fire fight now, but he wasn't complaining. He switched back to stun mode as the energy levels in his guns were near completely depleted. He only had one more chance to make this work. Suddenly he heard the bathroom stall open and the tall Mandalorian rushing at him, his heavy Durasteel boots clomping on the bathroom floor. Lurcano tensed as gunfire hit the wall behind him. His muscles tensed and as he heard the Mandalorian getting closer, he leaped forward, propping himself up against the bathroom wall and fired four shots out in quick succession as the Mandalorian rushed at him. Years of doing stupid shit with his knives had increased his reaction time immensely. This accompanied with his own races natural hand-eye coordination and athleticism is what Lurcano relied on to land a shot at the Mandalorians head. If he missed, he would have a hard time seeing a way out of this situation.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

Perfect Leilani said to Aerona, just as she heard a bit more of a high tension voice float up the hall. I think I will wait on the restroom it sounds quite...busy. What the sithspawn was going on in the restroom, and who was it that was in there. Wow! was all she could think. She nodded however to Aerona and followed the droid to the doctors office.

She did not know how the conversation was actually now going with Armand and Tmoxin. Once within Armand's office she looked around of course anything to do with the machine would not be out laying around. This was the typical doctors office a couch where he probably spent many nights, a desk where he spent endless hours researching, holo books from one end to the other. And it was neat as a pin, was that the Hapan in him.

She bit her lip and thought about how she should begin looking. If she were hiding something where would it be at, blueprints, patents...computer had to be. She walked over to the desk...and began her preparation for finding any materials. She had to be able to get into his computer. Of course password protected. She sat there looking at it...ok what would his password be...think...Leilani tried once. And got the error she only had two more tries before it locked her out.

Damn.

Braha felt the the stunbolts skim his hair, and hoped to whatever god he had, that this worked. It suddenly seemed like time had slowed down, and he had control over the situation. He looked at the blaster in his opponent's hand and saw it pointed straight at his head. No, anywhere but there! He thought frantically, and the gun flew out of his opponent's hand, clattering against the floor. Braha's new ability astounded him, and it seemed like he would hace plenty of time to think about it as the stun bolt caught him directly in the center of his head. He fell unconcious wile still flying directly towards that blasted bodyguard. Damn, he thought as darkness settled in on his mind.

 

[Armand Temi]

When Verd pulled Armand over and asked "Is there any way you could alter the blueprints to render the machine useless?" his reply was: "I might as well destroy them if I'm going to alter them to be useless. I have an idea. What if I sell the blueprints to my sister? I don't know their whereabouts. I was paid by a client to build the Treatment Chamber. This way, Tmoxin gets what she wants and we get credits to fund the Rebel operations?" The Hapan doctor wouldn't do it if Verd wasn't completely for the idea.

Tmoxin just glared at the two men, knowing they were talking about her demands. She stayed silent and let them plot. She was still grateful her own dirty dealings hadn't been exposed by Prudii yet. She didn't want to push her luck.

In the meantime, Armand's 2-1B surgical droid entered his office. "May I help you with anything?" the droid asked. Again it wasn't programmed with any encryption commands since the doctor's office wasn't a regular target of espionage.

Out in the waiting room, Aerona, the Hapan assistant waited for the Royal Guards to show up and deal with the altercation in the clinic refresher room.

Objective: Meat Back up with Tmoxin

Lurcano grunted as the Mandalorian charged into him, his body going limp as his stun bolt hit the man in the face. Despite this, his momentum carried him into Lurcano and his Durasteel armor was heavy. Lurcano fought to catch his breath before shoving the Mandalorian off of him. He stood up and stretched his back, taking a look at the man he had stunned. 'That was way to karking close. I should have come more prepared. ' Coming to a potentially hostile planet without the proper armor and weaponry had been reckless of him. He wasn't going to make the same mistake again. He dragged the Mandalorian into one of the stalls. He gagged him, and tied him up before propping him up on the stall so that no part of his body showed. He then searched the Mandalorian and found several miscellaneous items. On his wrist he found the tranquilizer darts that the Mandalorian had shot at him. There were three left. He took each of them out and stuck them inside the Mandalorians neck to make sure he would be out for a good long while. He turned, smoothed his clothing, and exited the bathroom. He walked towards the back of the clinic, following the voices. When he walked in, he saw Armand Temi conversing with his other Mandalorian body guard. He approached Tmoxin, and whispered so that the other two wouldn't hear him.

Lurcano Car'dann: "I dealt with the other bodyguard. What's the plan now? What are we looking for?"

[Verd Skirata]

"Fine by me. If you think it will make a difference, and get us out of this mess, and are willing to do so, then by all means." Verd said, then saw [member="Tmoxin Temi"]'s bodyguard return. He hadn't seen Braha, and decided to comm his friend. After getting no response, he whispered his suspicions into [member="Armand Temi"]'s ear. "I think Braha has been comprimised. he isn't responding, and has been following the bodyguard." He hoped his friend was alright, but for now he had to focus on the task at hand.

 

[Tmoxin Temi]

Tmoxin nodded to Lurcano and said, "Actually just wait a little bit here. I'd like to see what my brother has to say."

Armand stepped forward and said, "You can have the blueprints for a price. You're not just going to march in and commandeer it like some government official." He motioned to Verd Skirata and said, "You can escort my sister out now. I'm a man of my word and they will be sent to you. We don't have to negotiate here in front of all of you like children." He said children through gritted teeth, making the point that the only child in the room was Tmoxin.

And Armand wouldn't admit it but he really wanted to get back to Leilani before they had been so rudely interrupted. For all he knew she was sitting in the examination room just waiting for him to come back and all of this mess with the blueprints was quite an annoyance.

"Fine," agreed Tmoxin. "Let's go Lurcano."

When all of them would go out into the hallway, they would notice that the Hapan Royal Guards had arrived and were beginning to filter into the clinic. Tmoxin turned to Lurcano and asked, "Do you have any bounties on your head? If so I suggest we take a back exit."

Lurcano nodded his head at Tmoxins comment.

Armand Temi: "You can have the blueprints for a price. You're not just going to march in and commandeer it like some government official. You can escort my sister out now. I am a man of my word and they will be sent to you. We don't have to negotiate here in front of all of you like children."

Lurcano turned and followed Tmoxin out of the back room. He sighed, still not believing the luck he'd expereinced today. They moved to exit by the front door, but Lurcano stopped Tmoxin as he noticed something.

Tmoxin Temi: "Do you have any bounties on your head? If so I suggest we take a back exit."

Lurcano just nodded his head, breathing a sigh of relief that he'd caught the cops before they'd come into full view. Spending time in a Hapenese jail cell was not what Lurcano had in mind when he arrived here. They turned and exited the back door as quickly as they had entered. As they walked through the alleyway behind the Fountain of Youth Clinic, Lurcano turned to Tmoxin and said;

Lurcano Car'dann: "Well that was close. I assume the secretary heard the sounds coming from our blasters and called the royal guard. Your brother will have a fun time trying to explain why he's got a stunned and tranquilized up Mandalorian in full battle armor knocked out in his clinics bathroom stall. So did we get what we wanted?"

[Tmoxin Temi]

Tmoxin smiled at Lurcano. He was right. Her brother would have probably have a hard time explaining what happened in his refresher. And if the Hapan Royal Guards searched the premises they may find the stolen blueprints and then he would be in bigger trouble. Therefore their trip was successful. She had come to make sure her brother was not too far away from her influence and the fact that he had given in to her demands, felt like a victory. She felt a little bad leaving Leilani there but she knew the Zeltron beauty would have Dr. Temi wrapped around her finger in no time. He may even get lucky if he played his cards right.

Prudii and his Mando friend? She felt a slight pang of regret over behaving so badly in front of Prudii. Again. But that was par for the course between two bitter enemies she supposed.

"I owe you a case of that Corellian wine," she said to the Nagai who proved to be a flexible henchman today. "And Lurcano, to answer your question, we did get what we wanted."

Armand Temi: "I owe you a case of that Corellian wine," she said to the Nagai who proved to be a flexible henchman today. "And Lurcano, to answer your question, we did get what we wanted."

Lurcano Car'dann: "I'll be sure to take you up on that offer. As for getting what we wanted, does that mean we're leaving the planet; or what?"

Lurcano ran a hand through his hair, swinging his arms as they walked through the city. He let his gaze wander from the architecture of various shops to the architecture of various Happense woman that happened to be walking by. 'I worked hard today, I deserve a good break. And anyway, that punch to the chest still karking hurts.' Lurcano rubbed his chest subconsciously as this thought flashed through his head. He winced thinking, 'That's definitely left a mark. The Durasteel gauntlet didn't help poodoo.'

"Yes Lurcano, let's get out of here. Or you can stay on Hapes if can find your way back to Antecedent." She looked around them nervously. "But I wouldn't be surprised if at least my business has gotten back to the Queen and if there's a bounty on my head here." She walked quickly to the hangar not wanting to take any chances.

She couldn't wait to get back into the safety of The Sovereign Butterfly, have a well-deserved glass of wine and ponder what price she should offer her brother for the blueprints.

Lurcano just nodded as he boarded the ship. He took a seat, and put his feet up on the table. He reached for his own glass of Corellian wine, and downed it in one gulp. He then proceeded to take his leather jerkin off, to examine the bruise on his chest. It was a dark shade of black and purple, and Lurcano laughed ruefully before remarking to no one in particular,

Lurcano Car'dann: "Defenitely need to be more careful in the future. One more punch like that and I don't know if I coulda taken it haha. Karker could hit."

[Verd Skirata]

"Armand, I,m going to go look for Braha." Verd said knowing that they could have beaten Tmoxin and her friend in a fight, but they wouldn't have been able to do anything to stop what she threatened to do, but in doing so, they would have had to kill her. He couldn't do that. He walked out of the room, to find the royal guard barging in, ready to attack. slowly raising his hands behind his head as he was instructed, he called to [member="Armand Temi"]. "Hey, can you get out here and explain that I didn't do anything?" he stood there as the guard removed his weapons and cuffed his hands, not quite understanding what was going on. He hoped Braha was alright, but now he wasn't sure.

 

[Armand Temi]

Finally she was gone. Like a typhoon, Tmoxin whirled in and left a trail of destruction in her wake. And as usual her younger brother was the victim.

When Verd called to him, Armand went out into the hallway and put his hands up to the Hapan Royal Guards who had the Mando in handcuffs. "I can explain," he said. And as annoyed as he was. his loyalty to his sister remained strong and it was easier to tell a lie than incriminate her. He spoke slowly, making up the ruse as he went along: "A client's husband... a jealous husband came in and was causing trouble. I'm not sure why... it was a domestic disturbance. Anyway I called some friends of mine because I care about my patient's privacy. I know you understand that." The female guards looked skeptical but one of them said, "Continue."

He swallowed nervously. "Then my assistant got anxious over the altercation in the refresher and she called you. I'm terribly sorry, you know I always go to the Royal Guard Union charity function each year and..."

"Enough," clipped the guard, silencing him. She uncuffed Verd Skirata. "Just make sure we get called first next time. None of this mercenary business in Ta'a Chume'Dan."

After they left, Armand gave a sigh of relief and turned to Verd: "You go get Braha."

And I'll find Leilani, he thought, the pretty dark-haired Zeltron not far from his mind all this time.

[Verd Skirata]

"Alright, Thanks for that vod." Verd sighed a sigh of relief. He looked at his datapad and played the security footage from the time he had last seen His friend, skipping at one minute intervals, he quickly found out that his friend went into the refresher. he hadn't come out since. After finding this out, he ran down the hallway and opened the door. Seeing his friends helmet on the floor, he quickly clipped it to a hook on his belt as he searched the surrounding area for a sign of him. He found his friend in a stall with enough tranquilizer darts in his neck to nearly kill a wookie. Taking out the darts, he pulled off his gauntlet and felt for a pulse. Feeling the rapidly slowing heartbeat, he sighed, picking up his friend, and ran down the hallway. he had to find some adrenaline to boost his heart rate enough for his friend to survive long enough for Armand to treat him. "Armand! I need a hand here! Tranquilizer overdose!" he hoped his friend would hear him as he laid his friend on the operating table. He wasn't a stranger to a medcenter, and quickly found some adrenaline. He took an unused syringe and pulled out a small, nonlethal dose of adrenaline and administered it to his friend. 10cc's [member="Armand Temi"]

 

[Armand Temi]

Armand had gone back to the examination room where Leilani was supposed to be but the Zeltron patient was not there. She shouldn't be walking around on that injury, he thought. And when he pictured her on bed rest he also pictured him in the bed with her and this lead to all kinds of other thoughts that he shouldn't be fantasizing about right now. Suddenly he heard Verd Skirata's voice calling for him. Just the intonation of the Mando's voice signaled to Armand that medical help was needed.

He rushed into the room where Skirata had his friend on a table. "Good," he said when the Mando administered the adrenaline. Armand went into a cabinet and pulled out a pneumatic dispenser and some charcoal tablets. The Hapan doctor hooked Braha up to a heart monitor and checked his vitals on a nearby console. "If the adrenaline doesn't spike his heart rate, we use the stim-shot," he said holding up the dispenser. "Then once he's awake, I may have him eat the charcoal and try to get rid of any tranquilizer left in his stomach."

Leilani was a bit startled when the droid came in. "I wanted yo see if the doctors search history would tell me some of his favourite things. Like what foods, drink, confection. It would help me to know so that I can do something special for him. But his computer is protected." She looked down true disappointment showing.

"Hapan males are hard to figure out and I didn't want him to be disappointed" what she said wasn't quite a lie. She frowned but then got a gleeful look, "do you know what he likes? Maybe you observed and recorded something ?"

There was a commotion. And doors opening closing. What else had been happening. She sat in the chair behind his desk. Just as cool as a cucumber.
