Opening Invitation

Welcome to a top secret testing grounds of REDACTED. Companies who are selling their weapons to The Family are welcome to arrive on the planet REDACTED. Please make sure you have brought enough wares for people to test out your weapons. Otherwise feel free to do deals between each other and The Family.

Closing Invitation

Virus Detected.......
Invitation Destroyed......

Tom decided to follow the invitation to the area described with a cargo ship filled with his weapons and wares. He set-up and awaited members of The Family to arrive as well as any other companies that had decided to help them out. Hopefully people had read their invitation before whatever virus had destroyed his before Genesis could do anything. However he stood in full armour knowing that even with an invitation there was a chance this was a trap.

Gear and weapons offered from here http://starwarsrp.net/topic/128711-mirdirmorut/
Didn't bring vehicles

 

[Corran Conner]

He was waiting for people. He met the man with the armour on. He nodded before looking over the man's weapons. He then picked up one of the gun and went to the firing range. It was a pr-20 or at least that's what the armoured one said. He fired it watching as it hit a can down range and burning it to a pile of ashes. Interesting very interesting. He switched to one of the other weapons he had gotten from somewhere else and fired it. It pieced the armour. He thought about what was likely to be more painful burning in your armour or simply dying. He thought about this for a while.

[Death Adder]

Death Adder finished the daily ritual that is his personal grooming. This morning required his beard to be up kept. Each micro movement of laser razor was made with precision to ensure a perfect cut. Taking a moment to admire his work he stood back and cleaned off random thread that had come out of place on his new outfit.

We are approaching the coordinates Captain. We'll be landing within 3 mins.

The call over the intercom crackled

The pirate captain left his quarters and made his way to the cockpit of his new Baudo-class Yacht. where he personally supervised the landing.

The Yacht landed at the seconded closest parking bay. Only one human and a tall heavily armoured Trandoshan disembarked whom was in tow. The human inspected the droids meticulously, but the faint lines of disappointment graced his face. Turning the to the armoured man whom was presenting his wares he spoke like one that knew how to command authority.

"You have an impressive array of droids here but not what I'm really after. I'm am in need of a quartet of droids, designed for one thing. Absolute obedience and well versed in the art of stealth and death."

As he spoke he tapped his fingers together in front of his chest not breaking face contact with the merchant.

 

[Candez Stoon]

Candez Stoon had tested most weapons he had made...but why not do it again? The invitation given brought a smile to his face. And even though he had it no longer, he had his pilot remember it. Bring the Salty Mynok in, he and his 'first mate', Yam Yaw the muscled Kel Dor with him. The Dor pushed along a large crate, packed with his guns that he planned to show off. "Ah, Yam. When'd we last show off guns?" He got a grunt in return. "I know, right? So long. Good to get out there again."

The Kel Dor pushed the crate along, and Candez greeted along with 'Hey there, great gun maker' or 'Candez the gunsmith coming through'. No one had told him how he acted so egotistical, and those that did he just ignored.

[Equinox]

Equinox was utterly bored. He'd received this weird invitation earlier in that day. That deleted itself from Equinox's database. He should've had his AI personally save it, but he didn't think he would need to, until now. Besides, he saw it himself and knew where to go, and so he spoke to his AI, that he was now going to call Anubis for no particular reason whatsoever. He said "Anubis, take me to that planet" as he punched in coordinates on the interactive pad in front of him. The Light Sky set off, launching from it's steadily floating, static position in space. ​

​

A long time passed until he reached the planet.​

​

He could already see other had arrived, it looked like a testing facility, although he had no idea what they were testing. He slowly landed onto one of the landing pads and was careful to be cautious. He muttered to himself "Why would they want the invitation to delete itself if the whole point is to make someone come here." and then continued to the hatch where the door would open for him to walk out. He was about to step out onto the walkway that had just descended from his ship before he thought to himself. There was one thing he hadn't fully tested yet...​

​

He quickly walked back inside his ship and got his 4 PPAS droids from inside to follow him. They were a customised variant of HK droids, and there were 4 of them, he knew they would pack a punch. They followed closely behind him not letting him out of their site, but he led them to where he heard talking, and... shooting?​

​

He approached the loud sounds walking upon the cold, metal floor until a door was in front of him. He opened it to see lots of people shooting down a practice range, there were many different sounds of blaster, but the classic ringing could be heard above all. He pointed for his four HK droids to approach an open space upon the range and they quickly ran, clanging their feet upon the floor to the range. He followed closely behind, but as he walked he looked upon some familiar faces, and some familiar guns. He didn't want to show his armory because he knew his armory was powerful.​

​

He let the HK droids shoot down the range with perfect aim, and he smiled and laughed to himself. Not in an evil way, a happy laugh. He was happy that his creations were good enough for him to battle with. So he walked to the corner and waited for someone to perhaps, engage in a conversation, or invite him over to talk about weaponry with him, after all, he did want to see what sort of weapons everyone had, compared to him.​

[Valgærd]

I couldn't lie, I had been looking forward to this.

That was three Echani now that I had worked with, and each of them had completely exemplified every stereotype about the perfection their race displayed. It hadn't been long since I'd acquired Dohmus Prime, and only just now was it beginning to thrive again. I couldn't lie, I was incredibly grateful for the help I had received from them thus far. But today was not about work, not for me, at least.

My shuttle came to a stop and I turned to the human clad in black linen. Giving him a small nod, I descended the ramp with elegant, feline strides. While my true form was quadrupedal, I spent most of my time in this one, and thus, I had learned to make it look very good when I walked.

Making my way over to the large cargo vessel, I paused to greet the strapping Echani man in full armor standing by them.

"Tom, it's a pleasure, as always." I smiled, keeping my tone honey-sweet and almost venomously smooth.

Tom and I had worked together for a little while now, I didn't have any reason to attempt to intimidate or impress him, in fact it was almost habitual now simply to wrap myself in this persona of a delicate killer. Perhaps it was because in my natural form, I stood out, so whenever I was able, I postitioned myself to appear in power.

I could see [member="Death Adder"] nearby, seeking to catch his eye, I offered him a subtle smirk.

If [member="Tom Taff"] was paying attention, he'd have noticed that I turned myself so that my right side was facing him and the others. Death Adder would have seen this a number of times by now, but I hadn't yet revealed to him why. I scooped my hair over my left shoulder, the ebony tresses cascading over my form as my gaze moved to [member="Vorkaliin Barass"]. I offered him a silent nod before turning to inspect the weapons.

"Hmm...." I raised one slender finger, tapping it gently upon my chin as I inspected the weapons, "... What to pick..."

 

[Via Dolorosa]

Market places was a hub of excitement and adventure; where one could browse the several wares on display, buying products that can be utilized for personal gear, or weapons. With so many dealers about, it was hard to narrow down one particular dealer that possessed what she was looking for. After several hours, she found herself enthralled by one company's set of goods; the Mirdirmorut.

Mentally, she constructed a list of what she wanted to purchase. Each item, already finding a use. Credits, was no problem. With the death of one Mother, came the benefits as the sole heir; despite the manner she was created. Moving over to the representative, she pointed to the three objects shield gauntlet, vibro brace, and dion fiber inquiring the total price; placing her credit card chip on the counter.

[Equinox]

Equinox noticed more people entering the practice range, all of the people here so far were familiar faces, except one. She noticed her voice, it reminded him of the voice back on the ship that the random recruitment message had sent him to. He wasn't sure whether he should approach her, so he took a few steps out of the corner to clearly show he was willing to talk if someone wanted to engage in a conversation.​

​

In the back of his mind he wanted to find out more about this mysterious woman, the one who seemed to be thoroughly thinking over the weapons upon the table laid out in front of her. He waited, still, however now he ordered his PPAS squad (the HK droids) to stop shooting and go to mingle, after all he needed them to develop the social cortex of the AI inside them. He stood, watching, studying, praying.​

​

[Ravenfire]

He nodded to the lizard man ( [member="Vorkaliin Barass"] ) who went and tested out the PR-20, one of his favourite guns he had down sized he himself used it quite a bit. As did many of his customers. Including the first wolves, however with the FE dying it was unlikely he was going to get a major contract in a while, so some minor type work suited him just fine for the moment. He had after all never been given a contract with the ME. Even after producing many droids personally for them. But he shrugged it off, some times business went his way, other times it didn't.

He turned to the man standing before him speaking, he had heard tales of the man [member="Death Adder"] but had never met him in person. "Of course I can good sir, I have in fact a small workshop where I will see to your droids personally. Just make sure to come by Noverskaa when they are finished for you." He would say with a smile. He hoped the man would like his work, he found most people generally did.

He smile politely at the duros man who showed up. "You wouldn't mind showing me some of your weapons would you gun smith? I was hoping to see more wares than my own on display today. I had half expected at least one or two other companies to show up. Maybe the Donna's influence isn't as great as I had though." he said with a shrug. It really didn't matter to him as long as he could see some guns at least. [member="Candez Stoon"]

He saw a man with four droids off to the side but he ignored him at the moment as he was met by the Donna herself [member="Ahtemis"] . He smiled "Of course it is Donna, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't and no need to sound so sweet we both know my preference." He gave a smile thinking about his soon to be husband Mykes. He looked down at the ring mykes had gotten him it was so beautiful and amazing just like Mykes. He saw the Donna show him her right hand side. He never did understand why she did that. "Choose anything you like, I do hope some more of your friends with companies show up. I can't be the only one."

He looked at the woman who pointed at three items the first two he understood the last one was a material that he had brought as an example of the materials he had. "The first two are free of charge, the last one however if you want more than one use of you will need to do a deal with me. But that is why I am here to do deals." He said with a smile "Trust me the first two have been paid for by my work with you lot in The Family." [member="Xiang Vang"]

What he thought of the strange man with the droids [member="Equinox"], he kept to himself. A man who didn't speak with others was his speed but he preferred animals to droids.

 

[Candez Stoon]

Candez signaled for Yam to get the case open. He heard a grumble, then a crack as the crate was opened, the lid falling back and sliding off. Revealing the weapons inside. A couple of CAN-4's, couple of MMR's and a couple of CS-7's. As well as a surprise for later, hidden in a second compartment underneath. He took out one of the CAN-4 rifles, levering the back end and loading a clip in before readying it and was about to head to the range when someone approached him.

"Well hey there, Candez Stoon. Gunsmith, smuggler, adventurer...that's Yam." He got a grumbled response. "This here is a CAN-4 repeater rifle. Long range, got a few shots. And-" He levered it back and ejected the full clip onto the ground. Then picked it up. "Easy loading." He looked back to the crate and gestured to it. "Got other things too. Compact shotgun, can be folded and packed away easy. Then the MMR, shoots micro missiles. Varying ammunition."

 

[Vora Kaar]

It was quite a different site to see. One where many companies were showing off what they have made, and what they could do. The ability for these people to run entire companies astounded me. I had really only just started with my own workshop. One where we made more unique or single forged items. Having been gearing myself up for quite some time, I had been invited by the Donna. Why was I given this chance? Because I had a forge. She knew it. Maybe, just maybe I could speak with a couple of these people, learn something, or even come up with something for myself. While technically I had my own booth as it were, I was currently away and letting Darren take the stall and answer questions of any people.

I had caught the glance of the Donna. She was currently inspecting some weapons as well. Ones from a young man who was clearly Echani. I could just smirk ever so slightly as I knew that Darren at the shop would have been asking this man so many questions about his weapons and what did he do to make them. However, I was more intent of learning of different things.

Walking up to stand beside the Donna, I didn't speak of our current circumstance. As her personal... assassin? Hunter? It was only right that as she asked the man for what to look for, And his quick answer of her influence. To be fair, it was quite the ego that this woman seemed to hold. To be truthful, I could see why. She seemed to have this aura around her that wanted to dominate others. This aura of silent authority. Speaking softly and with nice words, but carried a big stick and a dagger. If you turned your back, dagger. If you didn't agree, the big stick. She just had you in every direction. For this, I worked for her. She was a door for me to use to get into the larger under ground. She and her growing "Family" would be my way in. More so, I felt like this family could quite literally become something much more than what it seems.

"We both know you will pick all of them Ma'am."

Speaking gently behind my mask, the white face hid my own. However, the stark white hair stuck out from behind it and pulled back. Today, with my hair just long enough to put it into a small bun at the back of my head.

"It seems you are doing well with your company Tom. Glad to see so."

[member="Candez Stoon"], [member="Tom Taff"], [member="Equinox"], [member="Xiang Vang"], [member="Ahtemis"], [member="Death Adder"], [member="Vorkaliin Barass"],

 

[Crocell]

Ivory browsed the assorted wares before her, studying and comparing models and capabilities, searching for just the right thing to add to her arsenal. She passed by Candez Stoon's small area and stopped, particularly drawn to the CS-7 Shotgun's capability to fold as well as its' interchangeable magazine.

"Excuse me," She said, "I'd like one of these... and enough ammunition to fill full a backpack."

[member="Candez Stoon"]

 

[Death Adder]

Death Adder's analytical senses were in over drive as he scanned the merchant before him. Making a silent note of the way he spoke, how he stood and gestured with his body. Although he could not see his face, Death Adder had become an expert at body language. It was this talent that lead to him becoming the man he is today.

"Very good. I have heard nothing but great things about your abilities are a technician."

His gaze shifted to the fire range at four Hunter Killer droids and clearly their owner @Equinox.

"Hmm perhaps like those. Only better."

Turning back to [member="Tom Taff"] he gestured to the Dosh behind him to hand something over to the merchant.

"As well your payment, let me also offer you this $10,000 cred card redeemable for chips at my casino. The Snake's Pitt on the orbital station of Dohmus Prime."

Shifting his gaze directly he spotted [member="Ahtemis"], whom had shot him the slightest of smirks. He made his way towards right side just after passing a through words to his aid.

"Trask, you may select a weapon, from my new friend here and charge to my account."

The Reptile bared his teeth indicating a smile for his race as he reach out for a Werewolf-Machine-gun.

Upon reaching [member="Ahtemis"], the pirate gently reached out to her right hand, seeking to bend down and kiss it.

"Donna.

It warms my heart to see your beauty once again. Will you perhaps permit my company for a short while."

If Ahtemis allows Death Adder to follow he would walk only slightly behind her and on her right.

 

[Valgærd]

[member="Tom Taff"]'s response garnered a small smile from my features as he spoke.

I drew in a long, subtle breath, taking a moment to myself before letting it out in a low sigh. The lungs of a bipedal creature always felt... slightly unusal compared to what I was used to. But I spent so long in this form that it was barely even a passing thought these days. And of course, as far as anyone here was concerned, this was my only form. My true nature was perhaps my most closely guarded secret. I want to trust these people, those that I'd gathered from all over the galaxy. Perhaps, as time goes on, we shall grow closer, like a family, almost.

"Of course, my friend." I chuckled in response to the arms dealer. I clucked my tongue, inspecting the droids, "I'll have some orders for you by the days' end, that's for sure."

Presently, I paused as a shadow fell over my left side. Sensing a familiar presence, I tilted my head around a little as [member="Shaun Castanic"] spoke, listening to him. Again, a minor smirk graced my lips as I greeted the man with a slight nod. His features were hidden beneath a mask, although his snowy hair betrayed his echani heritage. The second half of my sibling tag-team, he'd come as something of a surprise when I'd recruited his sister. Now, his presence was something I considered an insurance and a comfort, even if he still came up to me on the wrong side.

"Some days I'm a woman first, my pale friend," I replied coyly, "and the Donna second. Shopping is shopping, after all."

I turned as an immaculately-dressed human with well-groomed facial hair approached me. About him wafted the aura of some subtle, expensive cologne. His movements were deliberate, commanding. [member="Death Adder"], like myself, had excellent command of himself, owning the space as he walked. The pirate approached me, taking my right hand and gently swooping down and placing a kiss upon it. I returned the gesture with a slight nod, lowering my eyes from his briefly,

"Death Adder." I replied to his greeting, the honey-sweetness still lacing my tone even as I raised an eyebrow, "your company is always welcome."

He fell in step behind me. Now flanked by my two most trusted associates, I turned back to Tom,

"We're here to shoot things, yes? Well, the PR20 looks like fun, would you mind terribly?"

I gestured towards the plasma railgun with one slender hand.

 

[Via Dolorosa]

"Deal," she said, a lone, single finger tapping on her lower lip repeatedly, "What manner of a deal do you require?"

Early in her life, she took what she wanted, but her Mother after the reunion had taught her restraint; and patience. Both were still foreign to her, still a work in progress. "One use....would suffice. Multiple uses.....garners interest." Bartering and trading was something she was not in tune with, and the person before her was already willing to work with her; Family and all.

"I have little to offer....in terms of trade. Recently, I have taken over my late mother's company. Ships....and weapons....I think they make. Only offer of trade I can provide is something along those lines. Want a ship....done, free of charge per trade. Want a weapon....free of charge, per trade. Want a nasty little bio-weapon....I can see what can be done."




[member="Tom Taff"]

 

[Candez Stoon]

Candez Stoon looked to the woman that approached, [member="Ivory Stroud"], and then to one of the CS-7's he had. He picked it up, holding it out in folded form. "It's got quick the kick, just so you know." He got out a magazine of armor-piercing ammunition in hand from a little box next to the CS-7's, and held them out to put them into her hand. "So this just for test? Or will you be buying this?" he asked, curious if he'd see the weapon again or if the woman would be bringing it back over. After she would take it, he would hand over a few more magazines. Couple more armor-piercing, couple explosive shells.

 

[Crocell]

Ivory gave [member="Candez Stoon"] a sly grin, setting down a credit chit on the table before him.

"I'll take it to go.Do you have anything that can provide a little... extra oomph?"

 

[Candez Stoon]

Candez put a hand up for her to wait, then pulled up an MMR. "This revolver here shoots mini missiles that track targets. Can blow a womp rat." He held it out, and gestured with his other hand to where the ammo for them were in another little box. But he had plans to test something of his own later, something to show off when he could get the chance. And it was a big project of his that he planned to show. "May I have a name of my customer before me?"

[member="Ivory Stroud"] [member="Xiang Vang"] @Ahtemis @Death Adder [member="Shaun Castanic"] [member="Tom Taff"]

 

[Ravenfire]

"Very interesting [member="Candez Stoon"], tell me do you have a company or something I could sign with, I wouldn't mind a regular supply of those weapons for my men and vehicles. If not then I still wouldn't mind a regular supply of these weapons." He would say taking his helmet of sure now that none of these people would attempt to end his life over his gear.

He would weakly smile at [member="Shaun Castanic"]. "Nice to see you too, and the only reason the company does well at all is because my dad set it up quiet well." He might get along with Shaun but he was still simply weary of other echanis. Tom would listen to [member="Death Adder"] as he pointed at some HK droids owned by @Equinox. Tom raised an eyebrow "Very well what ever the customer wants. When you receive another message from me the droids will be done." He nodded as one of the people took a werewolf machine gun.

He would smile at [member="Ahtemis"] "Don't worry your first two orders are already done and are sitting on the ship behind me should you want to retrieve them Donna. Feel free to take one. I also have some newer weapons that have just gone onto the market should you want to have a look at them." He said with a smile to her.

He turned to the witch woman [member="Xiang Vang"]. He smiled as he thought of something he required. "Ships you say, I wouldn't mind a company supplying me some more ships to watch my cargo ships. I have had pirates along a lot of my trade route especially with the CSA and GA falling it has made it even worse. If we could sign a deal now for that I would be happy enough anything more than that can be added later."

 

[Crocell]

Ivory reached out, taking the revolver from [member="Candez Stoon"] and hefting it. She looked it over, considering.. With a glance and a small smile, she introduced herself, "Ivory... Ivory Stroud."

"I'll take both the shotgun and the revolver... plus enough ammo to fit in a dufflebag." Ivory pushed the credit chit closer; there was enough to pay for all the items, plus another hundred credits more. The raven-haired Criminal came to the meeting to buy.
