The only thing better than 500 ships...

[James Justice]

is 501.

James Justice. Many things to many people. Father. Crime Lord. King of the City of Vice. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist to causes that help the people. Murderer. Thief. Dangerous. Anarchist.

But deep down, before any of that, he was a good old fashioned criminal, and a smuggler who could appreciate a good ship more than most could ever believe. That was what brought him here to Theta. He wanted a ship, and he wanted it bad. His intel ops had heard of this thing on the hush-hush. It was good. It was hot. It was being custom built as a gift to another planet by top engineers and scientists.

And James wanted it.

He stepped across the streets of Hope Minor, the capitol of this fine planet. Most of his body was clad in leather, the trench coat and pants to be more specific. Under it all his Deathammer and a hold out pistol was all he was armed with--and his wits.

Sure, he could have brought any army. But sometimes it was good to only go in classic style; him and a stranger out to get the ship and do the goods. Tonight, he wasn't a crime lord. Tonight he wasn't Commander James Justice.

Tonight he was just Captain Justice. A man who wanted to get a job done.

He stopped at the dark lit corner, the cigarette between his lips burning dully as the spacer waited for his contact.

Evilyne had no idea what she was going to do tonight but she didn't care as long as she long as she got the job done and got her reward. She stepped into a room over looking the meet point of her contact. She could see a single person near it. "Hmm their on time. Wouldn't want them to wait." she said flipping open a weapons case equipping all of her gear. As she walked out the of the door she finished counting items and turned her watch facing down while she slipped a small micro chip under neath it. Once she had gotten to the man she leaned up against a wall and taking out a cigarette. "Yah got a light?" she said with a small smile hoping this man was indeed her contact.

"Only on Rainy days," The spacer answered casually with the code word, smoke drifting through the air on his breath. He offered her his lighter and turned away, walking to the left.

If the woman followed--well he would know that that she was the one he had been contacting through the Shadownet. It was a good enough place, a great way to find a few new recruits or someone willing to do a job without questions asked. Some of his dirtiest work had to be done that way. Fresh blood, they called it. James just called it getting something done without putting an even bigger target on his head or the ones who were close to him. He did, after all, have an image to maintain.

"I trust you were sucessful in gathering the required entry data," James said over his shoulder when the woman followed him down the dark street. He could do amazing things from his Angel's Den in Dal'Bor, the mecca of all night clubs that doubled as his headquarters. But there were some things that could only be obtained by boots on the ground--something he appreciated.

They were coming to the gates of the compound where this ship was being constructed and developed, the spacer subtly took a step back, letting the woman take the lead.

Once he handed her the lighter she light her cigarette she took two puffs before putting out on her trigger finger and followed him around the corner. "Indeed but didn't need to read it all to understand what you want. Once we get your prize they will be too distracted to worry about us. So it's safe to say your reputation will remain intact." She said while she was equipping the attachment her her pistols then looked up with a smile once she was finished and re-holstered them.

Once he stopped and took a step back for her to take the lead she pulled the bandanna up. "Show time." Flipping her wrist and touching her watch lightly. "We got twenty minutes before all communication is down and the firework show starts." she said lightly enough for him as she scaled the wall. Walls weren't problems for her to scale it was the mater of getting down for her was the hard part. She waited leaning over looking down looking at the man.

James looked at the wall for a moment, sizing it up. Break it down? Nope, too obvious. Climb it? Nope, not his forte. Jump? Now that was what we were talking about.

The spacer summoned the power of the Force into his legs, letting it build into a powerful momentum before springing up. He felt the wind billow against his skin as the spacer arced up, over the wall--down on the ground with a quiet, semi-graceful landing. He shook the landing off for a moment before continuing on.

There was a metal warehouse in the center of this walled compound made of quickly bolted together metal sheets. Several smaller buildings stood by; storage sheds, guard houses, employee housing, and a few garages but none were as large as this one, the only one large enough to hold a ship. Jame Justice quickly scurried to one of the shadows as a pair of guards approached the gate, distracted by their conversations on who was the best Hutt ball player.

Evilyne noticing her accomplice disappearing in the shadows as she heard voices coming from the stares. She quickly rolled into cover behind a medium sized of metal near the stairs. Once she was kneeling next to the wall she looked over to where she assumed the man was nodding as her took out a small knife within her jacket then signaling on his mark she will move to kill. As she waited for them to reach her and his signal she lowered her heart rate and nearly made her breathing impossible to hear. She could now hear they reached to top of the stairs and were only a few feet from her now she looked over towards the shadows.

James watched as Evilyne moved along, crouching like a tiger to go in for the kill. There had to be something said for the woman's skill and cunning. She was clearly no amateur. He quietly slid along the wall, waiting for her to finish the job. When they were down, he slipped past them, checking to see that the coast was clear.

First to the north. All clear here.

Then to the east. All clear here.

Then to the West. Clear.

Sticking his hands in his pockets, the spacer casually strolled through the dimly lit street. To anyone walking by, he would have looked just like another employee, until they got too close. But by then, it would be too late. James reached the shed they needed that would hold the ship and stepped aside, keeping watch as he waited for the woman to do her work.

As she killed the two soldiers she grabbed their clearance cards just in case. Then dragged their body's into the shadows of where he hid. Once she threw the last body down she looked over at him.

South clear....

She allowed the man to walk ahead to blend it. As she stuck to the shadows dragging anybody's that he had taken down. Half way there she snuck down to the barracks placing a gas charges that were big enough to knock them out for a day or two. Once she was down placing them she snuck back up to where the man was waiting handing over a clearance card to him. "Should work, If not i got four more."

James flipped the clearance card over, sliding it through the slot. A red light dinged. He turned it over. Red ding. He tried it slower. The doors opened with a soft clank as the lock released. He swung the doors open and walked right in. One of the guards standing by turned around, seeing James and the stranger stride in. A look of terror and surprise shone on his face--for a moment.

The Crime lord gripped his victim's throat with a hand, silencing him before he could say a word. With a flick of his wrist he shoved the man's head back--just enough for the spacer's fingers to tear into his throat and silence the man forever.

"Echanni dagger," he said as the body dropped, "Old trick I learned."

The spacer moved through the next set of doors the man was supposed to be guarding, giving the datacard a second swipe.

When the spacer saw it resting in the hanger like that, he knew that all this effort had been worth it.

 

[Evilyne]

Once she entered the room and seeing the man lift a guard up killing him while puncturing his throat then hearing him speak. "It's a nice trick you can do. I've learned something similar but that'll have to wait for later." She said as she walked over to a computer and dropping a package behind the console. Then walked up behind the man seeing the machine they were after. "I guess this was worth the work huh." Lets go before the next shift come around and sound the rest of their military. Do you want to just go straight for it?" She said as she scanned the room for any more soldiers of workers. But the place looked almost empty which kind of surprised her.

Well, coming at night had its distinct advantages, mainly a lack of most workers wanting to be around. The spacer answered by--well actions. Of course, be cause they always spoke louder than words. True to his style the spacer strode towards the ship without much of a care in the world. He climbed up the loading ramp and observed the sleek inner design. Definitely worth the steal.

He made his way to the cockpit and tapped the console. There were no levers, buttons, or--

The flat surface lit up suddenly with a hum. Blue lights illustrated the srrounding area on it and the viewscreen. Several button-like lights appeared, and words scrolled down the surface of the console in a read out. This was by far unlike any ship he had seen before. And that was saying a lot.

His eyes alighted on what looked like the engine read out and he quickly began them along the lines next to it. He heard as much as felt the afterburners roar to life.

Oh yes. He could get used to this.

[Evilyne]

Evilyne followed the man into the ship and watched him sit in what should of been the pilots seat but there weren't any buttons. "How..How are we suppo." Her sentence was interrupted when she was shocked as all of the controls appeared like a HUD display. Now this is interesting and the work really payed off. Once he turned the afterburners on she tapped her watched jamming all communications fifty block radius while the building she was in earlier was engulfed by a massive explosion. "We might want to leave now." We've got about two minutes before an emp goes off wiping out twenty block radius useless.

"Aye, working on it," James grunted.

He looked over the console and found a second set of slides-like lines and buttons that resembled pitch and elevation readings. His fingers traced along them slowly and the ship eased off the ground, tilting up before smashing through the ceiling.

"That's what I'm talking about!" James exclaimed as the ship roared through the sky.

His eyes looked across the console for something else, something he could--

At the tap of a button the blue-themed lighting across the consoles morphed into red, the lighting turned crimson.

"We have company coming off the starboard 090-mark-oh-ninety-five. Ye may wanna hold on to something."

The ship was impressed her on how technologically advance it was, And she only recently figured out how useful star ships can be. As they crashed through of what was the roof the facility's hanger.

She quickly ran to the nearest seat she could find and sat down near the door facing the wall. Now she thought this was ridicules, "Why would they put a chair facing a wall this is stupid." A few seconds after talking to her self the quickly spinning her head to him. Then watching his display change colors. I don't think this ship has any secondary defense weapons lo.." She said being interrupted as the wall in front of her lit up showing a video of ships coming at them.

" There were numerous of number across the board of she knew what any of them did." She said pressing one hoping it wouldn't cause any bad happen to them.
