Phrik, cortosis and all the little things.

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

"For what?" She asked him as her droid activated but stayed quiet as she moved to activate another. Zreame was a little bit of a goof in some social situations and this was one of them, it was clear on her face at least. [member="Pavor Clauditis"] was one of the few people she really hung out with for longer periods of time than 5 minutes so she wasn't used to many situations.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

He slowly glanced up. "The...accusation that you were fixin' to take my life." He said, slowly removing his cigarillo from his mouth. "Do you happen to have any non-flavored cigarillos on you?" He asked, staring at the flavored cigarillo he held in his hand. "Smokin' the same brand all the time kinda gets old after awhile. Know what I'm sayin'? This is 'bout the lowest quality tobacco you can get."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

"Don't worry about it, besides It will take a lot more for you to make me angry at you." She said with a smirk as she then took out a pack of very high quality cigars and gestured for [member="Pavor Clauditis"] to take one. "Here try these, perks of being a Ceo you know." she said with a smile as she handed him one of them and then killed her own cigarillo and put a cigar into her mouth.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

Examining the cigar, he slowly placed the cigar in his mouth, striking a match and igniting the tobacco. Slowly, he puffed on the cigar, removing it from his mouth for a moment to blow smoke up towards the ceiling. "Damn. You've switched to cigars?" He asked, taking another puff from the cigar. "Anyway...fifty credits I can get into that mine in twenty minutes with a single one of them droids." He said with a grin.

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

She smirked at him as she lit her own cigar with a gas lighter. "Well I kinda bought them with you in mind actually." She said with a smirk and then threw the rest of the twelve pack of cigars to Pavor, for him to keep. "You sure about that? this place is pretty full of some very aggressive animals which is why it's so dangerous to mine her and why I brought four instead of just one." She then said to him as she activated the second droid and moved on to activate the last one.

[member="Pavor Clauditis"]

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

"Alright...one hundred credits and I'll clean the entire interior of this damn ship...well, if I don't get torn to pieces by whatever the hell is outside." He said, puffing on the cigar. Quickly grabbing the pack of cigars, he placed the pack in one of the pockets on his vest, a grin on his face. "You alright with that?" He asked with a grin.

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame chuckled a little at him. "You sure you can afford that you old smuggler?" She said teasingly as all droids were now activated and with a few gestures from her hand began to march towards the landing ramps entrance door, leaving them alone in the cargo hold, along with a few other crates, some empty one or two filled with phrik. She put her hand forwards. "I still haven't made a bet I've lost so sure." She said as she gave him a mischievous smirk. "I'll take that bet."

[member="Pavor Clauditis"]

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

He grinned, slowly puffing on the cigar once more. He looked at [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"], before he began chuckling loudly. "Just get one of them droids to get to that mine. Where is this mine, exactly?" He asked, blowing a smoke ring with an amused look on his face. "Well then, I guess there is a first time for everythin'."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

[member="Pavor Clauditis"]
Zreame took out a holo projector which showed the compound they had landed on, on one end was the ships landing platform and on the other was the entrancement to the mine itself. "Well then you just have to pick a droid and tell it to follow you, I'll be waiting on the landing ramp and counting the minutes." She said with a smile that showed she knew she was going to win, or just arrogance might be that.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

Quickly, he picked out a droid and headed over to the ramp. Before exiting completely, he turned around and grinned, before giving a nod to [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"] and taking off. Slowly, he began to examine the compound, stopping only to take a puff from his cigar. "Ah...dammit." He muttered to himself, before slowly making his way through. After making it to the mine, he sighed loudly and turned to the droid. He then raised his commlink, sending a message to Zreame. "Uh...well, I'm at the mine. How do I get this bastard to start drillin' into this mine?"

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame stood at the ramp and smirked a little as she watched him run over the compound towards the mine. "Maybe I should have told him that this place is crawling with Rancors, Akley's and Atraks." She then mumbled to herself as she leaned against one of the landing ramps lowering columns. When [member="Pavor Clauditis"] comlinked her she simply responded with. "Command entry drill for cortosis, Accept." And the droid accepted her order and began scanning the mine for cortosis to mine.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

He grinned as he watched the droid begin to scan. Puffing his cigar in silence, he finally removed the cigar from his mouth for a moment to use his commlink once more. "You best be countin' them credits!" He said with a chuckle. "Hell, maybe I can get another pack of these cigars!" He then burst into laughter, before slowly glancing over to the droid, his grin slowly fading. Taking another puff from the cigar, he let out an impatient sigh.

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

The droid had found a vein and began drilling with one hand, turning it into a drill, while the other began to separate rock from cortosis. Though it was a little slow as it was programmed for precision not efficiency.

Zreame didn't respond rather she looked around and noticed that the area around them was quite.. well quiet. 'This doesn't bode well.' She thought as she pressed a button above her that activated her ships scanners to scan the area. "That guy might win this bet but it's going to be quite close..." She said smirking as she looked towards him and gave him a little teasing wave. It wasn't like she would really miss 100 credits and she could easily get [member="Pavor Clauditis"] a few more packs of those cigars, not like she didn't have the means for it anyway.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

He noticed [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]. Grinning, he threw up a disrespectful gesture obviously directed towards Zreame. He then glanced back at the droid, shaking his head. "Could you move any damn slower?" He asked the droid, watching as it ignored him and continued to drill. Sighing once more, he turned back once more, puffing on the cigar.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame sent the same gesture back to him as she puffed her own cigar a little. A small flash of green came along the compounds fences but it quickly disappeared but it was enough for her to unhook the straps on one of her revolvers. She waved to [member="Pavor Clauditis"] and then pointed with two fingers at her eyes and then around the compound as if to tell him to keep his eyes open.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

He watched Zreame, before slowly nodding. Slowly, he slid his hand into one of the pockets on his denim vest, slowly producing a blaster pistol. He spun around, slowly glancing back to the droid. His gaze once again fell upon [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"], and he slowly removed the cigar from his mouth, blowing smoke out towards the mining droid, his wicked grin returning once more.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame looked back and then scoffed a little as she looked at her wrists comlink. "Seems you've won Pavor, I'll send the rest of the droids to you now." She said as she then ordered the droids to move into the mine while she locked the door that the landing ramp lead to and followed after the droids after that. [member="Pavor Clauditis"] would see she was weary as one hand was on her longswords hilt and the other on one of her revolvers, something just felt off to her.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

"You got them credits on ya?" He asked, cackling loudly. "You see, as I said before...there is a first time for everythin'." He said, finishing the rest of his cigar. He glanced down, noticing that the woman's hand was near her blade and the other near her revolver. "You need to calm down. Ain't nothin' even out 'ere!" He said, grinning. "Now...where are them credits?"

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame sighed as she relaxed and then put her hand into her pocket and pulled out a 100 credit and placed it on [member="Pavor Clauditis"]'s palm. Then a loud screech could be heard behind her and she quickly looked towards it. "Yeah right nothing to worry about..." She then said as she drew her long sword.

It was an Ackley that was climbing over the compounds wall and looked at them, slobbering a little as it then roared at them.

 

[Pavor Clauditis]

"Y-y-y-you know, maybe w-we should...take off." He said, quickly firing several blaster bolts at the Acklay. He placed the credits in his vest, firing another bolt at the creature. Quickly, he clamped down on [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]'s shoulder and attempted to sprint into the mine.
