It's Risky To Rescue the Rescuer (PM to Join)

[Cadan Tazi]

The pirate heard the gangplank extended and quickly ran towards it. " 'Ow's there!?" He shouted throughout the ship, chasing after the sound. All though his chase was quickly halted as he ran into the closed door, who stumbled around before opening it. By the time it had opened, he had lost [member="Visper Jast"] scent.

Cadan was storming through the slaves, pushing some aside, spitting on them, demeaning them in anyway possible. On his way he passed Visper and her red Twi'lek. " 'Old onto that slave sweet cheeks, some crazy bastard might be tryin' to set 'em free." Cadan spoke quickly as he passed her, barely even registering that he had just pasted the escaping slave and the 'crazy bastard' who caused all this.

[Visper Jast]

Visper croaked weakly, barely managing an "Mhm." in reply. Clearing her throat, she continued on her way, partially in disbelief of her luck and partially revitalized by it. She was certainly a crazy bastard -- things could have very easily gone very wrong, but she remained breathing.

Still, there was the issue of getting out of her immediate area to somewhere where she was safe. Just how she would manage further escape was unknown to her, but intuition and "luck" had gotten her this far; it might get her out yet. The complex seemed massive, and she had the sinking feeling it was intended that way so as to be difficult to escape from. Doubts began to fill her mind.

She unknowingly made her way towards the prison door, where Lady Kay's rescue was in progress.

[Thraxis]

(Timeskip. Few Hours.)

Thraxis eyes were blurred as they began to awaken. Seeing in front of him the confines that Lady Kay would have endured. These bars were there to keep people in, though it seemed too lady Kay it was too keep them out. A grave mistake on her part, especially since they missed one of the Blasters he still had on his belt. "And now... time to make my escape." Thraxis laughed as he started to blast away at the cages lock.

It took a few seconds for the lock to come loose form the blaster bolts, "Honestly, people really do need to do a better job at checking for any equipment on prisoners. Oh well. Guess I will hang here for a bit. Wait for someone to come by." Thraxis said, he was in no rush to catch Lady Kay, after all how far could she get in Hutt Space.

[Jaster Awaud]

[member="Flannigan Mcnash"]

Jaster didn't enjoy jumping through all the hoops, going from one superior to the next. He didn't imagine the Catel having so much red tap to cut through just to get a hostage Senator back to the Republic. He knew it was an odd request, Jaster after all was the polar opposite to what Kay truely was, but he needed her, almost as much as she needed him. Commanor was a large spaceport city, also the quickest and most convenient planet the Republic still had, well that and Denon. Without Commanor or Kashyyyk, Jaster would not fulfil his ability to continue to funnel drug money into the Cartel, or to the Trade Conglomerate.

So he looked at the Holographic image of the Cartel Lead Admiral. "Good to see you as well Admiral, I'm sorry to hear about Drunkenwell, I do hope you were able to get as much of your ships out before the Union arrived, Jaster was opening up, "As for my opinion Mcnash, the Cartel is venerable, without the Republic on your side, the Technos, as well as the SSC will crack down what we had build, I need the senator as soon as possible."

 

[Flannigan Mcnash]

"Vulnerable," he worked that around in his metaphorical mouth, chewing on it as he paused to take a cybernetic breath full of air. "the republic faces the One Sith, they have no time for other wars less they stretched themselves too thin and far, and the Techno Union." he breathed thick semi-translucent clouds they bubbled and vanished as it stretched on and away from the cyborg. "there is no ill will towards us and the Technophilies, what they do to themselves in the privacy of their own space is of no concern to me."

"We're allies I'd have you know, well in the way that a friend of a friend is, and I doubt they will upset the balance just cause they now have a few dead birds in a cage." he shuffled the paper, pulling one over the other and spoke to someone on his far right just off the screen. "Have you got any more ink for the printer, well get some." he turned to face [member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"]. "Apologies, the overseeing of planets takes my full attention these days. Where were we, ah. The issue of the Senator, I don't believe there are too many who know we have her, space can be dangerous and what's one missing Senator, in the grand scheme of things." he paused for breath and dramatic affect, both being one and the same. "It will upset your spider web of schemes. She has information I want, how does she know where we are going to attack and who are her informants, I mean she must have someone in the Cartel or.." he was interrupted, "should we put in colored ink or just black?" it was an old voice and one not accustomed to such hard words as 'print'. "Put in both, but be sparing of the colored ink tho."

"I shall deal with the matter momentarily," he said. It was a good word. It always made people hesitate. They were never quite sure whether he meant he'd deal with it now, or just deal with it briefly. And no-one ever asked. "rest assure you will receive the Senator in due time."

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali Picks up the Tweliek when Kay is ready, He places her on his shoulders holding her steadily, He patiently listens to Kay while doing this. He raises a brow to what she wanted Tea? , Tea cup? and kettle? Why those things "Sorry I don't mean to be rude, buuut shouldn't we be getting out of here you know? before we loose our heads?"

He didn't really know what to think right now, He was suprised about what lady Kay wanted. Clearing his throat "I guess if you want! but look I'm taking a big risk here already I'm your only ticket out of here." not knowing if there was any sentimental value to the objects.

[Jaster Awaud]

[member="Flannigan Mcnash"]

Jaster looked at the cyborg of a man, he was once the thorn in Jasters side for nearly several years. Cargo blunt to refugee camps and planets in the core were intercepted as they left his old company HQ. It was years later that he found out it was the Human Mcnash and his Jackal pirates who were stealing his cargo. Now, after a dealing with a Force User during a bad Slave Auction, he was turned into the metallic general of the space lanes. He was the most lethal criminal boss next to the shirts themselfs, nothing happened in the Cartel without him knowing about it. Yet Jaster was always a step ahead of him in every point.

"I guess you haven't heard yet, the Republic as well as the Sith are entering a Cease Fire for negotiations of a peace treaty, it's not public new yet, but the information from my spy's are always reliable, as for the Techies, how long until Sempra goes to war with them over Nal Hutta and Nar Shawdaa, they have grown larger since their merger with the Reds, and once the Republic realizes what this Organization has done to one of their Senators, what would you think would happen?"

Lady Kay wasn't the only senator Jaster had in his pocket, nor the only Republic citizen Jaster got information from. While the Pirates and the Cartel spent their credits on slaves and drugs, Jaster invested it, buying information that would keep him alive.

 

[Flannigan Mcnash]

"It's a cease fire in name, only. Likely their war engine will turn into a stealth operation, before turning back into a full scale war, or mayhaps they're really trying for peace, in the name of their citizens." he rolled his shoulder's lower the papers, and the words 'in the name of' hung in the air. "But it is likely one of their lords will break it, you know how they are."

"Do not concern yourself with Sempras, mission for Hutt domination. That's my problem." he took another slab of papers from the pile, he shuffled them before looking back up to [member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"]. "We've had a Senator approach us about removing the bounty on Kay, and we told her it was valid as long as she meddled in our affairs, and we agreed that it would stay in the area of Hutt space."

"My point is not all democracy has fled the Republic, and they understand as we understand there are punishments for breaking the rules. You'll see her in but three days."

 

[Jaster Awaud]

[member="Flannigan Mcnash"]

Jaster knew their peace would be a war in the shadows, but who cared, they still had a large army with nothing to do. Raids and such were predicted, not just against the Sith, but the Primeval, Hutts, and in some scenarios, the Mandalorians. Again, Jaster didn't care, now with his soon to be completed alliance with the Republic, Jaster would have free connecting trade lanes thought the Core Worlds. The longer their so called peace lasted, the more credits Jaster made. Yet everyone whispered that the peace treaty wouldn't last, but Jaster knew better, both nations lost a lot of resources and soldiers in the last battle where the Republic lost.

The negosiation deal was acceptable, three days would be enough time to get out if Cartel Soace before Jaster was noticed missing. The eyes of the Buisness World were still staring down at him. "Three days is suitable for my need, but I will request that she is returned nearly unharmed, returning broken property back to the Republic will not land me in their good graces, nor will it ratify my trade agreement with them without her and her friends signing."

"I know that you are, but some of my comms are special. We can get help with them and ensure our leave of Hutt space." It almost sounded crazy. Kay almost frantically searched the area until finally one of the cabinets revealed some of her belongings. Quickly she snatched them up and placed them inside of her satchel where they belonged. There was however, no sign of her lightsaber. She frowned a little. No doubt that Vex would know where it is. So she'll have to find him.

"Alright, let's go." Kay headed over towards the exit, nearly running into Visper after opening the door. She didn't know if the young woman was part of the Cartel or not as she was armed. "Passing through! We have an emergency here!" There was a good chance that if she did work for the Cartel, that she wouldn't recognise that they were escaping.

 

[Flannigan Mcnash]

"Now if that's all you wanted to speak to me about," it was the kind of tone that suggested it was all he wanted to talk about, it had an edge that one might cut a finger on or off and be forced to count to nine on them as his patience wore thin, simply he was annoyed. "[member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"], I'm sure you think you're a busy man so I won't detain you any further. You will have the Senator in three days, and she will be i one piece."

It began to flutter and fold in like a flower on reverse, it made a metallic clink and than all fluorescent blue were replaced with the simple surrounding light.

 

[Thraxis]

A group of Hutt soldiers started there way towards Tiali's ship, armed with nothing but their basic weaponary and a few containers of Knockout Gas Cansiters and traveling by XP-38 Landspeeder, as well as armed with a respirator system to make sure they would not be aversly effected by the gas.

"Come on, lets get this set up and ready oursevles, I have heard from the Higher Ups that Lady Kay is a bit of a straggler so we may need to make sure she dont get up." A voice was said from amongst the gathering of ruffians. They had been moving to the camp for a while now. They had been told to do so by their Higher Ups and if Ruffians were good at anything, it was avoiding a severe beating by their superiors.

It had taken them a few minutes while they were on their Speeders to arrive at Tiali's ship. Quickly they rushed onto the ship, moving their Speeders from sight and started to set up the gas in the ship. One in every room to make sure that their was no escape for Lady Kay.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali Wait's impatiently for Lady Kay to find her stuff, Ah finally she found them he thinks to himself "Come on let's go!" he moves at a steady fast pace, With some heavy breathing from carrying another person. Once reaching the door he looks up to the door finding Visper. Thoughts running through his mind like I don't know this person not Cartel I think, Maybe a threat. Letting go of the Twilliek with his right hand he takes a tighter grip with his other hand. He readies his sonic pistol for use if needed.

After readying up he continues by the side of Lady Kay.

[Cadan Tazi]

Cadan soon arrived to the terrified administrator. "Whats 'appened!?" He demanded as he soon close to the quivering man.

"We lost a little red Twi'lek during the attack." The man didn't make eye contact as he spoke, instead he plated with the loose rocks on the ground.

"What do you mean you lost 'er?" Cadan replied, then suddenly without warming his Dl-18 was ripped from it's holster and sending a super heated slug into the administrators leg. The man screamed and collapsed to the ground. "How did you lose it!" The pirate shouted, not keeping in his anger. A quick flash of something flew through his brain, something he had just seen. A girl, escorting a red Twi'lek, to the prison cells! "Don't lose anymore!" Cadan barked at the adminstartor as he tried his best to subdue his cries of pain.

[member="Lady Kay"] [member="Tiali Orazio"] [member="Thraxis"]

Cadan was then on the move towards [member="Visper Jast"], although he only had a vague idea of where they were.

Not really bothering to wait for any reaction by Visper, she kept moving, being urged on by Tiali's insistence. Whether anyone followed them at all, she didn't pay attention. And if Tiali was her only way off this planet, then they needed help.

Quickly Kay dug into her satchel as they hurried, her hand searching for a specific commlink. At least she knew what shape it was. No sooner did she have it in her hand before she turned it on and sent out a message to one of her allies.

" [member="Xavka Duquo"] it's Lady Kay! I need your help! I'm on Sriluur being held captive at a slave camp trying to escape off planet! We're running to a ship to get us out but we may need back up! Please help if you can!" She didn't dare try to contact Jaster. He had done enough for her already in the past. And getting captured was all her own fault. But she didn't want to face Thraxis again if she could help it.

 

[Visper Jast]

The pair blew past her and continued on their way -- but Visper was shaken. She had seen that woman before, just as she had seen the pirate Rodian. They had both appeared in her dreams, although the woman came through in fragments.

She followed at a distance, though curiosity and a particular sense of certainty about their future role in her potential escape from the planet eliminated any discretion in her pursuit of them. She caught up with them, hailing them with a wave as she kept pace: stating matter of factly, "I've seen you before. I'm in a bit of an emergency myself, and I think we can help each other."

The red twi'lek trailed behind her now, still unarmed and silent, looking fearful.

[member="Cadan Tazi"] [member="Lady Kay"] [member="Tiali Orazio"]

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali Turned to Visper still moving by the side of Kay "This is no time to explain." he continued following Kay keeping his breathing steady while holding the one armed Twi'lek on his shoulder. Looking forward back to Lady Kay "I don't think calling for help is a good idea, you are on a Cartel planet." even in his ship a com link would probably only reach the outer rim if lucky, he is surprised such a small thing can communicate so far.

Releasing a sigh unsure if she'll take that in or not, he continues to go the direction of his ship.

Kay looked over her shoulder to Visper as she followed them. The girl had seen her before? Probably in a holovid on Senator meetings or something. But none of that mattered right now. They needed to get away from the Cartel. "Follow us then! Hurry!"

She focused again on what was ahead of them. No one must have realized that they were escaping because it seemed as though they weren't being tailed.

Kay looked to the poor Twi'lek that Tiali was carrying. She was bouncing around and in all appearances, looked lifeless. But they couldn't stop now until they got to Tiali's ship. What he had said did resonate with her. They were on a Cartel planet in Hutt space. The odds of any of her friends in the area to be contacted by a commlink was slim at best. But she had to at least try. She couldn't prevent herself from taking a chance.

"I'll call for help when we get into orbit. No doubt they'll be chasing us out of the sky." Kay half wondered why Tiali was helping her, again. This is the second time that he's helped her get away from Thraxis and it made little sense as she knew that he had helped the Cartel plenty of times. Here's hoping that he wasn't going to double-cross her.

 

[Vulpesen]

"Come on, surely you can go a bit faster than that!" Vulpesen's hands slammed into the control console of the Twilight Vixen, his private ship. One of the perks of leading a recently regrouping people that were scattered throughout the galaxy, was that your intelligence networks had a great deal of contacts. Upon learning that a certain senator had gone missing as well as a corresponding bounty from a certain group of hutts, it wasn't long before the pieces were put together. The hardest part had been finding where they were holding her.

Vulpesen looked back up just in time to see the wormhole of hyperspace flashing away to reveal the planet of sriluur. From there, a basic scan sent Vulpesen hurtling towards the prison, shields on full with Ace ready to drop him off should he need to take tot he ground. "Come on, please dpick up." He clicked on the comlink and connected to the last known channel code that belonged to [member="Lady Kay"]. "Oi, Vixen here. Its my understaning you might need a bit of help down there."

 

[Flannigan Mcnash]

"Sir a ship has just come out of hyperspace." it was the decision of a moment that lasted the space of ten, it was the breath the exhalation and the release that formed small rippling clouds of smog, he lived and breathed atmosphere. "Fire upon it until there is nothing left, and have a droid battlion sweep the area." He had been sitting on the communication channels scanning, waiting for the rescue party, this was on the Hutt Cartels home world, to think anyone would think they could slip pass was mistaken, besides he was prepared there was a plan in motion and he couldn't allow interference.

It was all too easy, a ship coming straight out of hyperspace and towards the prison no less, didn't even cloak itself or try to establish communication with the prison. It was like they were mocking him in not so much words, did they think he wouldn't notice. He was prepared for a fleet, the last time they took one person they had sacrificed hundreds of lives and precious resources, so when one ship came, well he felt sorry for it. "If someone survives the wreckage to be, take him to me alive. I don't really care in what state, whether it be a liquid or a solid."

It happened in three stages, the prison complex came alive with hot searing lines of light, they were beginning to fire upon the Twilight Vixen, next came the fighters, a squadron of half drive fighters and than the B2 battlion, B1 battalion that patroled the grounds. These all happened at different times, some lagging behind the other gaps that could allow someone to maybe hide in the confusion, but not without serious damage to their person or current resources.

OOC: Hey [member="Vulpesen"], this may seem unfair, but this is our home world and we were expecting a rescue attempt.​
