New Business Opportunities (Nixara Zann/Consortium Members) (Completed)

[Madame Cognito]

-Aboard the Luxury5000 vessel code named OPULENCE, an hour after the meeting on Makeb-
-In orbit over Makeb-
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luxury_5000
Arya entered into the central meeting chamber in the middle of the "U-bend" of the vessel near the entrance to the cockpit. Arisa Talos awaited her with a datapad nestled in her red skinned hands. Her yellow-red zabraki eyes glanced between the datapad and the hologram of one of her Tatooine call girls. The two were conversing about bordello business as Arya entered. A couple of techicians swiftly left their work on the conference room's central air systems and exitted the room in the direction of the engine rooms at the sight of Arya. Lesser crew members knew that Arya's business dealings were a private affair between her and her personal assistant. With the current crew standing at 15, there were a lot of people avoiding the central chamber at that moment. The pilot and co-pilot glanced down the ramp into the chamber, saw Arya and the co-pilot promptly closed the blast door that connected the cockpit to the central meeting chamber.
Arya grinned at Arisa as her assistant looked over and took notice of Arya. A subtle head nod by Arisa was followed by a cessation of the meeting Arisa was having with the bordello girl. The hologram switched to a rotating Makeb.
"Good evening, Madame Cognito. I was attempting to hail you earlier. I needed to speak to you prior to the meeting about your contingency plans in case the alliance fell through."
"I appreciate your prompt response, but you hailed me as I had been ushered into the meeting room. In the future, I would appreciate it if we could complete all of our business before I embark towards a planet. It looks rude to have communications interruptions in the midst of a potential new alliance meeting." Arya stated in a nearly aggitated, berating tone.
"I understand, Madame Cognito and it has been noted for the future. How did the proceedings go?" Arisa asked curiously as she readied herself to take notes on the datapad.
"Arisa, we have some potentially big changes to make. Primarily these changes will be to our munitions side of the Cognito brand. We are now a part of the Zann Consortium and will be working for Madame Nixara Zann. Soon no doubt, Madame Zann will contact us to set up a meeting to discuss how exactly she would like to utilize our assets. I have commited both the munitions factory on Abregado-rae and the bordello to the Zann Consortium cause. I have some ideas on how to better utilize our girls. We'll discuss everything together when Nixara touches base with us." Arya said sternly glancing between the hologram of Makeb and Arisa.
"Sounds like a productive meet-n-greet. How would you like me to set this room up for the meeting?" Arisa stated gesturing toward her surroundings.
Arya glanced around the room at the lavish decor and amenities. "We're not going to use this room. We'll utilize the long table of the dining hall. Have the staff remove the meal place settings and bring in a holoterminal to place near the head of the table for Madame Zann and I to use, if needed. Also, have the staff go down to Makeb and bring in some Zann Consortium banners to place in the corners of the room. Make sure Nixara gets access to my repulsorlift limousine. Send it down to the Zann Consortium HQ with a couple well armed guards inside as her protection and escorts to this ship. This is a time intensive project. I would best get to it. I will set the meeting for tomorrow evening after the dinner hour." Arya instructed as she watched Arisa take down the precise instructions.
"I will not fail you, Madame Cognito." Arisa said seriously as she looked her employer in the eye.
"I know you won't. On that note, I am headed to my suite to get some sleep." Arya stated with a mild yawn and a turn of her heels toward the door that led to the ship long hallway. Upon exiting, Arya turned down the beautifully decorated hall and into her ornately decorated suite in the upper central hind zone of the vessel.
With that, Arisa went to work utilizing her comlink to communicate with the necessary crewmembers to make sure Arya's wishes were carried out. Arisa was the type that wouldn't sleep until there was confirmation that everything was accomplished or on the route to accomplishment.

_30 minutes later_

Whizzing away from the Opulence, a luxury variant of the T-4a Lambda shuttle descended towards the planet of Makeb with two of Arya's ship concierge workers being shuttled down by one of her pilots. Their mission was to secure at least four Zann Consortium banners for each side of the dining hall during it's temporary conversion into a meeting hall. Arisa was instructing two of the four security agents to act as armed escorts for Nixara. She was insuring they understood the utmost seriousness of their mission. Arya was sound asleep in her luxury suite.


_Five hours later_Morning Meal time_

"Arisa, we met with a few of the Zann Consortium requisitions officers and they provided us with four holoterminal displays of the Zann Consortium banner. I forwarded you the invoice for confirmation."

"I recieved it, yes. The cost is fine. Complete the transaction and insure the banners make it up here." Arisa stated gruffly as she terminated the comm and returned to her datapads on the Bordello and Munitions quarterly reports, her inital type up of the Zann Consortium takeover itinerary for the factory manager and the bordello's in-house manager and the requisitions form for the banner. She was processing the new update to their filing system to expedite the records look-up and new records creation system.
One of the concierge workers brought up a silver metal tray with a white plate of delicious looking morning meal edibles and utensils. The worker placed the tray near Arisa, dipped down a bit on her knees and wheeled around towards the doorway to the hall.

-30 minutes to Meeting Time-

Arya was dressed in her normal cream white business suit, but showed a twinge more skin. She entered the converted dining hall and was greeted by orange Zann Consortium banners slowly rotating in the four corners of the room and a holoterminal at the head of the table with the planets of Tatooine, Abregado-rae and Makeb all rotating in place. The lighting in the room had been turned down slightly to accomodate optimal viewing of the holoterminal. The table was a sterile white metal as were the cushioned chairs that lined the table. The brilliant chandelier's bright white lighting elements had been turned down ever so slightly, but didn't detract from the grandeur of the piece. The grey metal walls were adorned with fanned orange light wall sconces. These sconces were also dimmed slightly and as well as framing decorative artworks and weaponry. Arisa placed a datapad at the head of the table for Nixara, one to the right of the head for Arya and one to Nixara's left for Arisa. The datapads would start to autorecord the meeting as soon as those involved were at the table. Arisa had extra datapads placed next to her place at the table if any other guests were to make an appearance. She stood at the left of Arya near the sliding doorway at the ready for Nixara, the ship's escort guards to enter. The two of them stood quietly waiting.

[Nixara Zann]

Nixara soon arrived for the meeting, dressed in a short black dress that showed off a lot of skin. ''Ahh, good to see you again, Miss Cognito.'', she said with a warm smile, as she strode over to the empty seat at the table, sitting down slowly. ''So, I take it you want to know what I intend to do with your buisness?'', she said with a friendly tone.

[Nai' Frerstal]

Nai' Frerstal silently entered the meeting right behind his boss, [member="Nixara Zann"], and quietly took a seat at the table. He glanced at [member="Madame Cognito"], as he began thinking about the details of the meeting. Hmm. What does this lady have that nobody else has? What is her unique product, what is her selling point? He thought to himself, having had some experience in economics, having to make trade deals among clans in his tribe on Barab I. Nai looked at the holographic banners, as he began wondering how they created those so quickly.

 

[Madame Cognito]

Arisa Talos, her red skinned Zabraki assistant, presented the Barabel, [member="Nai' Frerstal"], with a datapad and took her place in a seat near the head of the table. Arya rose and greeted Nai' and [member="Nixara Zann"], "I am glad you two were able to be present. I am indeed interested in how the both of may intend to utilize my assets...I mean Zann Consortium's newest assets. Before you guys answer, I have some ideas that I have been considering."
The datapads had begun recording the meeting as soon as Arya had spoken ready to take down her contributions as well as Nixara's and Nai's, if he chose to speak.
Arya switched images on the holoterminal from the three different planets of interest to a stoic image of the Paradisio Club in Mos Eisley, Tatooine. "Starting with Tatooine, I had an idea to utilize the call girls' main occupation as sex workers to become more of a front. I have been considering the idea that they should all be required to be combat trained. I will enlist your help to train them and any new girls that come to work at the Club. Ideally, I would like my call girls to be able to proficiently handle blades, side arms and ranged weaponry. Their main job outside of sex work shall be to work as a Zann Consortium hit squad."

Arya clicked a few button on the terminal and an image appeared of a stoic hologram of the four story Cognito Munitions factory that sat near the capital city's spaceport and one level below Arya's top fifth level penthouse. "My personal assistant, Arisa, has been personally overseeing the change over of production from arming pirates and militias on the planet to readying production for Zann Consortium interests. Currently, the factory produces standard quality ammunition, side arms, assault weapons and one handed blades to the groups, I just mentioned. I can have the factory ready and operational by the end of the next week at your word. Of course, the local pirate groups and militias will not be happy about losing a big source of their weapons and ammunition. I expect issues with them. I am curious about what your intentions are with the factory. Nai', I welcome your input as well as to your ideas on how you could use the assets at the Consortium's disposal."
Arya returned the holoterminal's visual to the slowly rotating planets of Makeb, Tatooine and Abregado-rae. "With that, I give you, Nixara or Nai', the floor." Arya promptly took her seat at the left of the head of the table ready to hear their ideas.

 

[Nixara Zann]

Nixara blinked with surprise. Call girls trained in assassination. That was a new one. But she grinned eagerly. It might be a useful idea in the long run. ''An.....interesting proposal, though I think it might be risky to train every single girl you have in the arts of assassination. A chosen few, perhaps? The most physically adept of the bunch would make sense...''

[member="Madame Cognito"]

 

[Nai' Frerstal]

Nai' Frerstal quickly scanned the datapad, as it intrigued him. Hmm. They should train all of the members, but create a select guard of highly-trained members. He quickly slammed his fist down on the table. " NO. Train them all, but train a select few to become a highly trained team, to operate as the Consortium's assassins. " He stated with force and strength.

[member="Nixara Zann"][member="Madame Cognito"]

 

[Madame Cognito]

Arya raised an eyebrow at Nai''s sudden enthusiasm on the subject. She smirked at the Nai' and quipped, "With that response, is that you volunteering to be the trainer of my girls? I would not object. If Nixara trusts you, I trust you--"

Arisa quickly stepped away from the conference table as her wrist-comm went off with a notice stating "Urgent" flashing in red across the screen. She promptly exited the meeting room and took the call in the privacy of the hallway. The sender was the financial institution in charge of the Cognito Munition's factory. "Good Evening, Yao. What's the urgency? Nothing you can not remedy yourself, I hope." Arisa stated with a playful smile.

Yao's Faleen features materialized on the hologram on Arisa's wrist commlink. They were a mix of panic and confusion. "Arisa, I'm afraid not! I have been running the Cognito Munitions numbers from the past four years through an audit. I have to wonder, did you guys not check the numbers thoroughly on your end?"

Arisa's playful demeanor was swiftly changed to angry confusion as she interjected, "Yao, what exactly are you attempting to imply here?"

Yao continued, "I am trying to say that your factory has not actually been producing any sort of products for a while. Someone in your organization has been copying numbers from previous production statements and pasting them to current statements."

"WHAT?!" Arisa screamed. Her blood was boiling and her red skin was turning a pale pink at the thought of the revenue losses.

"I thought it might have been an outrageous mistake in the numbers department. I sent a financial agent to the factory. Was Arya aware that she living above a factory that wasn't actually producing anything? The factory was functioning as a gambling den for the workers. They apparently didn't care since they were still being paid for their weapons manufacturing skills as was the factory manager."

Arisa was above the ability to speak she was so dumbfounded. Arisa had to prop herself up against the wall. She was lightheaded. How could she miss this major financial discrepancy? Would this mean her job or worse? Arisa knew she hadn't been to Abregado-rae since the factory's first weeks, but...what the hell happened?

"Arisa? You still there? Arisa?" Yao stated hearing comm silence.

"Yao, t-thank you...for bringing this to my attention...I shall inform Madame Cognito immediately!" Arisa went to turn the commlink off when Yao interjected and stopped her.

"Wait! Arisa! This isn't all. A warning came my way pertaining that factory by a droid from Abregado-rae. The droid thought my agent was working for the factory and sent word to have the owner of the establishment meet with him. His name was revealed to be [member="HK-36"] working with the Protectorate. Get this sorted out quickly, Arisa, and we'll be back in business. For now, I have put a freeze on payroll accounts for the factory." Yao stated sternly before dematerializing from her wrist.

Arisa stared at the door to the conference room in fear. They were soon to be...if not currently discussing the factory. Arisa regained her composure of stoic calmness before re-entering the meeting room. Arisa decided to make a bold move and speak to everyone involved since this was to become a Zann Consortium factory. She stood at the head of the table and silently clicked some keys on the terminal. The Abregado-rae Capital City factory reappeared. "Arisa, what are you doing? We're not finished discussing the Paradisio Club girls." Arya, in a slightly bemused tone, stated.

"Madame Cognito, Madame Zann, Mister Frerstal, I know this is highly unorthodox for the hired help to be interjecting in business affairs unless asked to do so, but I have just been informed of a situation that effects the Cognito Munitions deal. I have just been informed that..." Arisa shakily recounted the information that their financial adviser had spoken to Arisa about including the HK-36 meeting.

Arya's face went from white to red in embarrassment. Arya shouted angrily, "How could this have happened?! I trusted you with verifying the numbers. This is a big mistake...if there wasn't so much history between us right now...I would have you blacklisted and fired for this! We're going to fix this...together."

Arya, annoyed, looked over to Nixara and Nai' and stated, "To start with, can I elicit some help from the Consortium to insure that the factory manager is found and detained until I get there? I don't want him leaving the damn factory alive after our meeting with him! Nixara, I would like you present for my meeting with HK-36, if possible. I did not take into account when I first constructed the factory that it would potentially become Omega Protectorate territory. After everything is settled on that account, I would like to resume usage talks on the factory and the girls. "

[Nixara Zann]

Nixara quickly nodded. ''Nai, muscle work is your area of expertise. Get after this guy and bring him to Arya, how you do so I leave to your discretion, but preferably still breathing.'', she said with a serious tone. This could be a very big problem for the Zann Consortium if it wasn't quickly resolved. ''We'll go and meet with HK-36 while Nai handles this situation. Set a course for wherever he is, I'll change out of this dress.....'', she said before walking to her temporary quarters on the ship.

Nai' Frerstal nodded, and walked out of the narrow doorframe, prepared to bring this guy down.

(Note, I'll come back later in the thread when your meeting with HK is right about in the middle, so please tag me when you reach that point. [member="Nixara Zann"] [member="Madame Cognito"] )

 

[Corruck Kazen]

Corruck watched through the front viewing area as the his CR90 Corvette sped through hyperspace. He had had this ship running non-stop since he had heard of his sister being alive. He had assumed she was died with their parents on Ryloth. His crew was exhausted with all the work that had been involved, but they continued and would continue working until Corruck told them to stop. They had been running around the galaxy for about 2 months now, never staying one place long enough to set roots.
Corruck was sure that their destination was correct. He had had three sources to verify and the correlation was amazing. Makeb was the place he had heard [member="Nixara Zann"] was at. He wasn't sure truly what to think whether to be overjoyed or to be angry. In the end he decided to wait and see how he would feel.
Once the ship had finally left hyperspace, Corruck sent a transmission to the ship nearest to his, the Opulence. He didn't know who it was owned by, but he had a good feeling. Even if it wasn't owned by his sister he had a feeling that the owner would know. His feelings were seldom wrong. "Luxury5000 vessel. Greetings this is Corvette Recalcitrant. Is your owner aboard?"

[Madame Cognito]

Arya nodded in acknowledgement to Nixara and Nai' before pulling Arisa aside. Arisa was on the verge of a breakdown. Arya looked disgusted with her personal assistant. She waited for Nixara and Nai' to leave the room before speaking with her assistant.
"Pull yourself together, Arisa! I am not mad at you...completely. I know this was not fully your fault. You couldn't have known, but you should have known... that the factory had been defunct all of this time. What I want to know is what happened to our clientele to cause our factory to cease to operate. I want to know why our factory manager didn't man up and tell us that the factory that he was in charge of hadn't been operational for a few years now. He's not living through this. I will see to it that we have someone we can trust running the revamp of the factory, if this HK-36 droid will allow the factory to even exist. Now, I want you to set a course for Abregado-rae. I also want you to make sure Nixara has what she needs on this ship. Have one of the concierge workers on standby for Nixara. Have this room reverted back to a dining room after the trip. Find out where the hell HK-36 is and send him a message that we're intent on meeting with him. I will be in my suite going over proposals for HK-36. Do not disturb me until you have received word that we have secured the factory manager and an audience with HK-36. Do NOT fail me again, Arisa."

Suddenly, as Arya was heading towards the door, she was interrupted in the dining room by an intercom message from the pilot stating that a Corvette called the Recalcitrant was asking for the owner of the vessel. Arya considered the hail for a moment. This is far too remote of location for anyone other than an important caller to be attempting contact with Arya.

"Allow them docking permissions and let them know that the owner is Arya Cognito and is on board." Arya stated to the pilot. Arya turned to Arisa and said in an annoyed tone, "Have an armed escort meet the visitor at the airlock and escort them here. I guess I am not getting any rest tonight."
Arya sighed heavily and grasped a chair. Upon sitting down, Arya began to impatiently tap her fingers on the table. Left the dining room/meeting room and entered the central chamber. She immediately used the contact flimsy to get in touch with HK-36. There was no answer to her hails, so Arisa left a holorecording for HK-36.

"I have received word from our financial adviser that you spoke with one of his agents thinking he was a Cognito Munitions worker. I was also told that you needed to speak with the owner of that factory. HK-36, I am the owner of that factory's personal assistant Arisa Talos. Within the next day, we shall be in orbit over Abregado-rae. Madame Cognito has requested that the meeting take place above the planet in orbit on her Luxury5000 yacht, Opulence. I shall contact you again when we arrive near the planet."

[HK-36]

[member="Madame Cognito"]

Aboard the Siege Tower,
In Orbit of Abregado-Rae

The Siege Tower was an adventuring Nebulon B7 Frigate of the Protectorate, it wasn't the longest frigate out there, but it was close to it at 350 meters in length. It was very much so elongated, thin like sword's blade. Fitting that it was a vessel used by the Bladedancer droid HK-36. The warship was covered in the colors of Protectorate and Abregado-Rae, emblems of HK and Iron Company visible on its hull, denoting to whom the vessel belonged to.

Aboard the ship's droid commander was sitting in his Captain's Chair, watching the holo-display playing out recent battle between the Liberty Concord and the New Order of the Sith, HK expected to be entering more combat against the Sith soon, he wanted to be ready by knowing their tactics when that does happen.

However, his focus and tranquility was soon broken as his Communications Officer spoke up,
"Sir? We have received a communication from miss Cognito."
HK looked up slowly at that, processing the information, he would turn his head to let the dull, red glow of his photoreceptors rest in direction of his officer, watching him,
"Who?"
The droid asked, Communications Officer paused slightly,
"Arya Cognito?"
The Officer spoke the woman's full name,
HK slightly shook his head, still not recalling the name, the officer thought a bit,
"Uhh, I think she's running a munitions factory on Abregado. She did that thing with the thing,"
The Officer was snapping his fingers as he tried to recall, HK slightly tilted his own head,
"We have a munitions factory on Abregado?"
The droid looked over to his Yeoman,
"Pull up the file on her."
Yeoman nodded to him shortly, carrying out the order before HK looked back to his Communications Officer,
"What's the message from her?"

The Officer looked over to his console as he read the transcript from it,
"She wishes to receive an audience with you in order to discuss the closing of her factory."
The Officer informed, before HK would be able to acknowledge it, his Yeoman spoke up, reading from the files Abregado kept on Arya,
"Her factory has been closed for a while, sir, during your first months on Abregado when you launched the campaign against violent crime. Protectorate's agents were able to find out her factory was selling munitions to arm local pirates, criminals, and the like on Abregado and Outer Rim. You have issued an order to close it down and press charges against her as per Abregado and Protectorate law."
HK's Yeoman explained, the droid nodded slightly as he found the memory file, studying it,
"However, she did not appeared during her trial, nor did she sent a representative, a court-issued solicitor was assigned instead, she was found guilty of arming the Abregado's enemies based on testimony from her factory's manager. She has yet to answer the summon from the court and is believed to be a fugitive."
The droid nodded slightly at that, taking it all in,
"How come I have not seen any further reports about that?"
He slightly tilted his head to the Yeoman,
"Seems the case was more or less forgotten, at the time we had bigger threats to face, and the court meeting was never televised, local crime lords from Le Yer were being convicted, that took priority for the media."

The droid just nodded slightly at the answer, pushing himself off of his chair to stand,
"Very well, better to resolve this later rather than never, sent two guards to the man who testified against her, if she found out just now, I want to make sure nothing will happen to him."
His Communications Officer nodded, relaying the orders to the garrison of militia and soldiers under HK's command on the planet's surface.
The droid looked over to the Officer and his console,
"Clear the dropships from the hangar, have guards posted there in defensive positions, open up a channel for me to respond to her message."
Officer simply nodded, muttering "Yessir." as the orders were relayed,
"You're good to go."
The Officer confirmed that HK was free to record the message,

"Miss Arya Cognito, this is First Baron of the Protectorate, HK-36 'The Iron Knight', Knighted in Compassion, Current Observer of Abregado-Rae, where I took my vows before Lady Protector Cira, may she rest in peace, and the people of Abregado-Rae, Head-of-State, Colonel of the Pyre, Commander of the Iron Company. You are hereby summoned for audition with me aboard my ship, the frigate of Protectorate, the Siege Tower, currently in orbit of Abregado-Rae. Report immediately when you enter the Abregado system. May the Force be with you."
The transmission would cut with that as the droid looked to his Yeoman,
"Keep track of every ship entering the system until I order otherwise."
His Yeoman nodded as she looked back to her console.
"Yessir."
She answered softly.

HK took a step back, sitting down in his Captain's Chair, his metal fingers briefly and softly brushed up against the hilt of his white-bladed lightsaber.

 

[Corruck Kazen]

Hearing the reply Corruck smiled. "Thank you. We will dock soon." Turning to his crew he said, "Prepare to dock. While I'm in there keep the engines running. I do not know how this will end."

As the small skeleton crew prepared himself for the docking procedures, Corruck was prepping for any 'difficulties' that might occur. Checking his blaster pistol on his side was loaded, he slipped it into the holster near the bottom of his left leg. Then he grabbed his larger WESTAR-M5 rifle. He checked it over, making sure the parts were still in good condition. Last time he had fought with this, he was sure there was a slight hitch in the firing mechanism, though he believed he had fixed it. Slinging it round on his back, he grabbed a bottle of some wine he had brought from Alderaan, he had bought it during his time there in search of his sister. It was most certainly not the best drink in the galaxy, but it would do. Hopefully.

The Recalcitrant swung around to dock with the Opulence. Soon the docking procedures were completed, without a hitch. Corruck had heard only one problem, on the rear thrusters had shut down again. "Tarnk, take care of the thruster while I am away. I want it fixed this time." He said to one of the crew members, the one, Tarnk, promptly raced off to complete the repairs.

With all he could think of, his blasters, a neatly wrapped bottle of wine, and a forced smile on his face, Corruck entered the luxury craft to be greeted by armed guards. "Well here I am. Miss Cognito is expecting me, I believe." He then waited to see how they would respond. He would part with his guns if it meant he found his sister.

[member="Madame Cognito"]

 

[Madame Cognito]

Arya noted the exchange on the holoterminal in the meeting hall. She stared at the security cam shot of that part of the hall. Across the intercom to that section, Arya ordered, "State your business and surrender your weaponry to my guards. I will not deal with troublemakers coming aboard my vessel."
Arisa entered the meeting room once more to inform Arya of the response from HK-36. She was greeted by Arya's gaze upon the holoterminal. Arya's gaze shifted to Arisa with a tired, weak demeanor, "What's the latest, Arisa? Please tell me, you've some good news for me."
Arisa's tense demeanor softened at the idea that she would be able to appease Arya's need for good news. "Yes, Madame Cognito, I have some good news for you. HK-36 has agreed to meet with you. However, the meeting place was requested to be aboard his vessel. I realize you do not care to enter into strange, almost hostile vessels unless necessary, but these guys mean business and a slip-up with them would mean---"
"I know what it would mean, Arisa! Just because I left you primarily in charge of my affairs doesn't mean that I have forgotten how faction related galactic territory issues work!" Arya snapped back. Arya was growing weary of the day. She did not truly mean to be so cruel to her assistant.
"I understand, Madame Cognito. I didn't mean to imply..." Arisa stated hanging her to avoid eye contact with her boss.
"I know you didn't mean to, Arisa. I apologize for snapping. Just dealing with a lot of stress, you know with my factory being defunct for god knows how long and possibly hemorrhaging money. I'm trying to make my assistance worthwhile to the Zann Consortium, but issues like that throw a kink in the matter." Arya stated with a heavy sigh and her gaze returning to the terminal.
"I shall help you any way I can, Madame Cognito." Arisa said bowing her head.
"There is a way to help right now. When I finish with this Abregado-rae business no matter the outcome, I would like to take on a bounty. Can you get in touch with one of my new Consortium mates to set that up for me while I am dealing with all of this mess? A nice hunting trip would do me wonders in clearing my head." Arya said with a halfsmile as her gaze remained on the terminal.
"Of course I can do that for you, Madame Cognito." Arisa said remaining at her side in order to help Arya with the strange newcomer on her vessel.

[Corruck Kazen]

Corruck's false smile quickly faded. He knew this would happen. "I'm here looking for someone. I had some reliable sources state she was on or near this planet. I came to say hello and set my affairs in order." he said all this, while slipping his rifle from his back and sliding it across the floor to the nearest guard. The slowly he picked out his pistol, looking at it for a moment he slid that to the same guard. "If you're afraid I mean trouble, don't be. I have no such intention."

Corruck, unarmed except for the wine bottle, didn't move. He didn't want to set off this lady, possible sister. He would have to ask some questions, but he would wait until face-to-face questioning could be made.
