The Carrion Colonies

"You've never been to Annaj, Miss Towani, but trust me–only someone doing time on the Endor Moon could find it interesting."
―Hume Tarl


Léon stirred in his sleep, recalling the travels to Annaj. It had been equally as terrifying as the one to Rutan, and every other planet he had since journeyed. He recalled as the speckled void was blemished by streaks of light, his stomach knotted, his hands desperately clutched at the armchairs of his seat.

When he awoke he was sweating heavily, and his body shivered. His lungs burnt, and his throat was sore. He had been getting sick a lot as of late. The Keshiri was not vaccinated for most of the common diseases and viruses in the galaxy, but the Carrion Company had paid for many doctor visits. Nonetheless, it was a big galaxy, and an isolated farmboy from a planet like Kesh mean't his body would never be up to date with the galaxy.

He rolled out of bed, joints stiff and muscles seemed to protest at every minuscule movement. At least he had comfort and luxury now. He wasn't used to a bed, nor the basic comforts the galaxy took for granted. Like a chair, or a table to eat on. Each day he was learning new things, new technologies. He found it a joy and wonder to be able to change the temperature of rooms.

Alas, he had a duty to fulfill. Léon was acting as a delegate for the Carrion Company, meeting with a representative from the Free Colonies. He pulled himself together, dressing himself in the traditional attire of his people. He wore knee-length boots, bright red cotton trousers with a dark green wool tunic. He wore a belt with a sheathe for his sword and a dagger made of bone. Lastly he wore a leather jerkin and swordsman gloves. He looked every part the mercenary back home. Here, he just looked strange.

It was a short walk from his hotel to the office in which he would meet Stardust. Carrion administration had placed him close to the location. They didn't trust Léon on his own, to a degree. They knew he wasn't experienced in the galactic community and he could get lost at the drop of a dime. So they constantly observed him and kept in communication. Léon pushed open a door and was greeted by the sight of a long conference room, he took a seat and waited.

Annaj

Someplace star had never visited a pace she'd probe look around when she had the time to

For now she was on a business trip to annaj to meet with a delegate of the carrion company to discuss about a partnership together

She just exited hyper space in her cruisers and laned stepping off and walking toward the building...she wore her casual clothing save fore her sabers and sith blade

She entered and was escorted to the meeting room where she enter and smiled"you must be the person I'm meeting with

(*Done on phone)

Leon swerved his head towards the door. He didnt know what to expect, but a green alien with two tails on her head wasnt it. He had encountered Twilek before and tbey endlessly buzzled him.

He spoke only Keshiri, and so his translator device did the talking for him, it chirped, "I am Leon, Carrion Company, I assume you're Stardust? From the Free Colonies? Carrion is looking to set up a contract with your government."

[member="Stardust"]
 
Léon was not entirely familiar with how to proceed. Writing up contracts was not his forte, but those who led Carrion insisted he learn. As Stardust introduced herself, he focused intently on the words. He recognized one, maybe two, but his mind was still a tangle of confusion when it came to Galactic Basic. No matter how long he spent studying the language, he failed to grasp even the most basic concepts. Keshiri and Basic were two entirely different languages, in all respects. Then there was reading, that was a whole new challenge, but he was finding it easier than speaking Basic.

Carrion administration had given him a long list of advice, they couldn't write it down for he could not read, but he had great memory. He had too, if he couldn't remember something by reading it, he had to remember by word of mouth. It was just the way of life back on Kesh for those who were peasant-born, especially a farmers boy like Léon. His translator chirped as he spoke, "Should we begin by drafting the contract - how we, Carrion Company, will facilitate the Free Colonies? Will it be aiding in escorts, riding the systems of pirates, helping hand during planetary invasions or even something as simple as protection during dangerous mineral mining?"

Stardust cupped her hands and looked over at him as he spoke...the familiar chirp of the translator now being picked up by her as she nodded to his words

All those actually "she said and then stopped as she gathered her thoughts...this man probably didn't understand her much at all...she looked to he rdroid that had followed in and spoke to it" start analyzing his legend... Then if you can patch me in so that I may try to speak"she said and looked to the man"all of those as the free colonies themselves doesn't have a standing army we have a group of people who know how to fight however it is very few"she said as her droid beeped and she looked over at him again"

[member="Léon"]
 
Léon looked puzzled, he interrupted Stardust as her droid tried to patch into his translator, "I can already understand you," the device spoke as the Keshiri tapped the machine. It was no bigger than his thumb, but it translated his voice and translated hers. She agreed with what he propositioned. He reached into the bag he was given, taking out a datapad. He had made sure not to touch it. Rather, Carrion administration did. They didn't want him accidentally deleting the contract that was already written up. It was a matter of signing. If the contract needed changing, administration could do that remotely.

He slid the datapad across so that she may read. It already contained all that he mentioned, but there was a clause below it. It stated that if the Free Colonies participated in unlawful or unethical conduct the Carrion Company reserved the right to withdraw from any contractual obligations. They were mercenaries, not criminals. Léon motioned to her, "If you agree with the terms, you may sign and we can proceed."

[member="Stardust"]
 
She looked at it"ahh my bad though whatever you do speak ID glady learn..knowledge is something I value

She watched him slide the data pad over and picked it up looking at it carefully"everything looks fair"she said and signed it sliding it back over"there you go

[member="Léon"]
 
As she signed the contract, Léon took out a sheet of flimsiplast. A material he was much more familiar with, similar to parchment back on Kesh. It listed the primary operatives in the Carrion Company, including their leader, [member="Arlan Zy'rosh"]. "We currently have seven primary operatives, and a small entourage of secondary operatives. The Carrion Company is slowly growing in size, and we're looking to expand our operations significantly. The Free Colonies can expect a larger mercenary troupe from the Carrions in the near future."

Léon was listed as a primary operative, among others such as Morr Zard and Varik Ryjin. Léon was listed as a specialist in swordsmanship, with his weaknesses listed as an inability to comprehend most technologies, blasters and his current inability to speak Galactic Basic - reqiring him to wear a translator at all times. Keshiri were an extraordinarily rare species in the galactic community, many galactic citizens lived their whole lives without seeing one. Even on the media. Yet Carrion listed several secondary operatives as being Keshiri, all of which joined alongside Léon.

The flimsiplast also listed their base of operations on Rutan. Léon turned his attention from the written words and looked to the governor of war for the Free Colonies. "Are there resources such as military hardware that will be at the disposal of the Carrion Company during missions? And are there any immediate missions you would like Carrion to immediately begin on?"

[member="Stardust"]
 
She looked over the flimsiplast paper and nodded to herself as she read quickly, she had a great skill in reading...probably could do hacking if she tried"the colonies are sorta small themselves however like the carrion we are growing each day

She looked it over again and nodded seeing his speciality "swordman huh" she said and looked seeing several more keshiri

You can expect hardware when you request and need it"she said as she foloded the paper uo"

[member="Léon"]
 
"Then this meeting is complete, I would say," the Keshiri stated. He did not offer to shake hands, it was not customary to do so with women back home, it was more honorable to bow to them. A deep sign of respect for those that bring life into the world. As such, he took the datapad, gathered the flimsiplast, took a deep bow, and made for the door.
