KWENN SPACE STATION
SECURED FUNCTION HALL
It was done.
The pitch had been made, some seemed open to the change, others confused, some unsure. There were those in the room that had been privy to events, such as the leader of the Exchange, Pyrrah Tae, to whom Aktur nodded when he heard the low words spoken. One of the more pressing concerns was the majordomo to Gorba, the Twi'lek A'ti, who seemed to - understandably - take the turn of events badly. She had, after all, worked very hard to keep her master safe, only to have her efforts be hijacked for other purposes.
"Do not worry for the dead," Aktur said as he looked toward A'ti.
"You may feel everything has turned upside down, but that will pass. Your plans show a wit and cunning, one that was wasted in service of another, one who kept you in place. Consider how you might flourish now that you are free of that leash, able to take action and apply that intelligence to your own pursuits and plans... I expect you could exceed anything you previously accomplished in the Consortium, especially within Black Sun."
Aktur smiled.
"Give it some thought. You know how to contact me."
Across the way, the giggledust originator spoke up, which caused Aktur to turn and regard Xyoz.
"I don't plan for this type of event to be overly common, I assure you," Aktur said with a smirk, he understood where the Hyena was coming from.
"This was more a necessary step, one that will elevate all of us, should Black Sun become your new home. And yes, we do plan to make copious amounts of credits, consider your deal accepted."
Aktur added.
"I am very aware of the enterprise you own and bring to the table. So welcome to the fold, Vigo Xyoz."
An appointment for the Hyena, one that would likely help ease discomfort, and encourage dedication and growth in efforts. Not to mention the hyena had a mate, likely the Mandalorian that had appeared for the skirmish, but since retreated back into the waiting shadows.
Across the way, an elderly sentient with a walking cane glared, though for Aktur the reason was soon deduced. It seemed that another one of his species was present, though the pair had never really crossed paths within the Consortium, so it was both interesting and potentially threatening to lock a stare with the other and regard. Still, Aktur doubted the old Anzati would be so willing to announce their - likely shared - secret, as it would end equally as badly for him...
Aktur would come back to the old one.
Dark eyes turned, as a loud voice spoke, which came from a blond individual in a glamorous dress accompanied by four droid guards. As that sentient approached, Aktur inclined his head, but otherwise waited for the introduction - a member of the Kainate - who made an offer. The Head of Black Sun smiled, as he nodded slowly.
"We can certainly discuss that," Aktur smiled, the sentient's Life Essence strong.
"I have had some limited dealings with the Kainate, I can respect what they offer, and opportunity remains ripe for the taking for those as industrious as yourself. Once we introduce ourselves further, and I learn more about what you bring, I am sure those opportunities will be plentiful. I am Aktur, by the way, a pleasure."
From across the way, a large Hutt shouted, announcing loyalty.
Aktur glanced to the purple Twi'lek beside the Hutt, likely a slave or majordomo, and wondered if she wanted for anything personally. While Aktur didn't much care about slaves, or the traditions of Hutts owning them, he felt there could be considerable favor gained by giving the oppressed a chance to become their own masters... so long as it suited him.
"You, Twi'lek," Aktur called, eyebrow raised.
"Does your master speak the truth? Can I trust the loyalty of one such as Big Piska?"
Aktur knew of that Hutt.
It was his business to know.
Meanwhile, the Madclaw took it upon himself to dedicate in his own way. Aktur could appreciate that. A blood oath from a Wookiee was no small thing. Beside the towering warrior, another alien - Shai, if Aktur recalled - was willing to sign on as well, so long as the credits flowed. Both would find their fill, Aktur had no doubt, and he nodded to each.
"Consider it binding. Welcome, both of you."
But, before others could be checked on, blaster fire started to erupt once more, though from a central source. The Mandalorian, Koda Fett, attacked. Aktur slipped to one side on the table, as he considered options, but his reactionary plans were halted as the other bounty hunter - Varm Nul - stepped in, clashing with his fellow hunter. The result was both sentients being sent out the hall window, down into the abyss of the station...
Well then.
An exciting turn of events, all round.
