NAR SHADDAA
RED LIGHT DISTRICT
'The Velvet Underground'
YmccSkf.jpg

The Smuggler's Moon.

It was almost like a second home for Myles. Well, not really. He just found himself caught up in that urban mess of a moon so often he almost lived there half the time. Quite frankly, it was shady, crime-ridden, and one of the dirtiest places in the galaxy. Dirty, in both ways. It may seem like this is the perfect place for a person like Myles. But he held himself up to a higher standard, as if he were somehow above the people who did the exact same things he did. Maybe it was because he did it better. Or maybe it was because he thought himself to be just and right, despite his past deeds and actions. Perhaps he was simply no different from the rest of the scumbags in this galaxy.

"U wamma wonka wa jakola see moulee rah, Spacer..."

Ah, Ogo... Ogo the Hutt. One of the many Hutt crimelords infesting this galaxy like a cancer. A large portion of them liked to huddle up around Nar Shaddaa, like a bundle of maggots feasting on the rotting corpse of a womp rat. Given, he was one of the smaller bosses around these parts, but he still held power. His main spot, 'The Velvet Underground', was like any other typical Red Light District club. Except it was slightly more grotesque than the others. That was where this meeting was taking place, in the back room with muffled music blaring in the background.

"He says that you owe him a considerable amount of money." repeated a robotic voice coming from the Hutt's protocol droid.

"Uba chespo uhobaw cay mah yanee che bom bom janse!"

"You have been meddling with his affairs for much too long..."

If there were two things that didn't mix in this galaxy, they'd be Myles and the Hutts. There was something about the Hutt's business model that Myles just didn't exactly like... One would suppose that was the cause for several of his raids on Hutt shipments, crashing deals, the works. There was a deeper underlying cause for his distaste for the Hutts, one that only Myles would understand. He just assumed they had their reasons too.

"We've been over this too many times, Ogo..."

"An hocan uba bancaie mewipa bai wamma mee uiuba, Spacer!"

"He says that even after so many second chances, you have neglected to pay your debts time and time again!"

"Yeah, whatever, Lard-sack Prime... Take your debts and-"

He was interrupted by the Hutt's sudden rage and shouting in Huttese. What followed was an exchange in which the protocol droid struggled to translate each of the Hutt's lines.

"Y-You have deeply angered sir Ogo! I am afraid he is much displeased with your disrespect-"

"Doh jen bantanh!"

"O-Oh dear..."

An expression of short confusion took over Myles' previously lax demeanor. Before he could say anything or react, a intense blunt force collided with the rear of his skull, sending him crashing to the floor. His vision blurred. His mind was a haze. At some point, he fell numb. It was hard to tell how long it lasted, but the beating he took was something as bad as a ship crash. He could hear some of his ribs cracking, but it the sounds were louder than his numbed pain. He could taste the blood in his mouth, even smell it dripping from his nostrils. And then, black-

The music kept playing.

Nar Shaddaa. The cesspit of the galaxy and one of the few places she liked to visit on her trips through Hutt Space. And yet, even as she was keen to avoid such places, it was one of the few stops she often frequented. As for the people that resided there that were involved in her line of work? Well, it was easy enough to say that they weren't always to her liking. One of them in particular being the hutt Ogo, a hutt crimelord known for his operations in The Velvet Underground Red Light Club.

It went without saying that she felt gross just thinking about it.

As she traversed the club, eyeing its various corridors in which she knew she could find the denizens of the red light district, she couldn't help but notice that a Rodian had begun to follow her. While they weren't obvious in their gait, or even their pace, it was the Force that had drawn their presence to her attention. Closing her eyes as she walked, keeping one hand lightly adrift over her Wookiee companion's arm, she stretched out and brushed the Rodian's presence. Not to disturb them, but rather to get a feeling of what their intentions were.

A twinge of negativity and she spun on the spot, bringing her lightsaber to hand and igniting it with the tip beneath the Rodian's chin. Opening her eyes, raising her gaze to the Rodian's, she drew in a breath and used the Force to read the alien's emotions.

"It's not smart to tail someone like me, Joza," she breathed steadily as the wookiee came to her side. In silence for the brief moments afterward, she analyzed Joza's posture with consideration for the bounty hunters reputation. "Dawaara, take his weapon."

The Rodian didn't move, he dared not, as the wookiee stepped forward and disarmed him. Only then did Dinah disengage her lightsaber and take a more relaxed posture. Had this been any other bounty hunter, any other less known for their harassment of women on Nar Shaddaa, aggression wouldn't have been necessary. With a satisfied growl and a nod, Dawaara took his place behind Dinah once more.

"What do you want, Joza? If it's not important you're going to have more than my lightsaber to worry about." She took a step towards the Rodian, practically breathing on him, and raised a hand towards his head in a gesture that he immediately retreated from. At first his words were indiscernible, a look of terror in his expression but it was soon followed by a fumbled retreat.

"Youkesa! Cha! Jee toupee uba bu wankee!" The Rodian protested and began to scramble for a hologram projector in his pocket. Then, unceremoniously he produced it only to have it quickly fall to the ground and clatter at their feet. Fortunately, despite the lack of grace, Joza managed to present the hologram with as much ease as she'd hoped for.

"Dinah! Taadtahia mah banbeka. Jee nai bai cohai cay uba whao uba gee doth hee dan. Uba bla peee bai bola." The message began, the crackling image of a Hutt appearing from it as Dinah watched with an immediate disgust apparent in her expression. With a grimace, a brush of her hair from her face and an apparent roll of her eyes the spacer glanced up at the Rodian and turned on her ankle to depart. She didn't care what more the Rodian had to say, and she had a wookiee behind her to make sure the Rodian stayed put.

The trip was short, and she wasn't keen on getting shot in the back.

"Dinah, mah chik, fa baa doth koumhaptece bom bom janse!" The immediate chill down the spacer's spine told her she'd been noticed as she made her way into the room where the Hutt apparently held his meetings.

"Ogo... This is unexpected." She uttered quietly, lacking enthusiasm and just loud enough that the Hutt could hear her from across the room. In spite of this, she moved fairly quickly across the room with a notion to avoid any who might try to accost her mid stride. Until she spotted the man shackled to the wall in the corner of her eye, however, which stopped her in her tracks to look over and away from the Hutt's grace. "Since when did you start hiring a new interior decorator?"

"Ho ho ho, Dinah, cha donee kae cay jen. Jee gee ba mo che uba." Came the Hutt's voice as she stood and distractedly admired the shackled man's physique. It wasn't until the Hutt cleared his throat with a sickening croak that she snapped from her momentary lapse and turned to look at him. Just in time to watch the droid step forward to translate for him.

"I don't need a translator, I speak Huttese just fine." She huffed and tilted her head at the Hutt who had so confidently addressed her. Moments passed and her question came to mind. "What do you want for him?"

"Jee gee ba ahban see bmela- Uba banag bai bedwana jen?" Surprise apparent in his words, the disruption quickly cast aside as the Hutt considered her question. Unfortunately for her it didn't take long for the Hutt to contemplate and it was his glancing between prize and her that told her this was going to be far more complicated than a simple offer and exchange. This guy was in some serious poodoo.

"Do you need me to spell it out for you, Ogo?" She chided dangerously. "Haku doth bo che copah?"

She was nothing, if not direct.

His limp body hung from shackles against the wall, isolated enough from any of the Hutt's frat garbage but also close enough to smell him. Well, it. Hutts could more or less choose their own gender. Slug biology wasn't exactly a subject that really entertained Myles, anyway. He was barely coming to when he noticed Ogo speaking to... nobody? His vision was still blurred, but he knew for sure that the Hutt wasn't speaking to any present being. His thoughts were still too cloudy to really piece anything together.

Slowly, the young man's senses came to. His body was still numb from the pain, and he noticed quite a few bruises, lashes, and even what appeared to be a broken rib jutting out of his abdomen, but at least still underneath his skin. He felt his right shoulder in an awkward position, as if it were out of place. Dislocated, perhaps. Not that it was anything he could fix while shackled like some sort of wall decoration. Nearby were two, maybe three Gamorrean guardsmen with their backs turned. Equally smelly.

Finally, the Hutt finished his speech to what seemed like an empty space. Myles had at least regained most of his consciousness now. His body was weak, broken... Bloody. He could taste the blood lingering in his mouth. He felt the tingly trickle of blood droplets sliding down his cheek. Not his best moment. But still, he kept his chin up. This really was a screw up on his part. He couldn't even remember why he came here in the first place. Such a bad idea...

*ptew!*

He spat a clot of blood on the floor, which happened to splash near one of the guard's foot. Myles' gut was met with an elbow- and a painful one at that. He groaned in pain, but at least his rib was popped back in place. He wondered how many more of his bones had been mangled.

The scene was disgusting. The smell of drugs, alcohol, Hutt, and other questionable aromas filled the room. Then again, there was too much blood in his nose for him to really smell anything but iron. His head swayed slightly, but he tried to keep sturdy. Contemplating any way for him to escape, the situation looked grim for young Myles. He was probably one of the Hutts' most wanted, so it wasn't like they'd be letting him go anytime soon. Best case scenario, he'd end up dead. If anything, they'd keep him around for torture and slavery- whatever it was that entertained these slimeballs.

Just then, a woman walked in. So that's what the speaking was about- Ogo was sending a transmission. Was this another one of his lackeys? Myles couldn't tell. He could barely see out of his left eye, but he tried his best to keep his vision on the girl. She seemed young- almost out of place in a disgusting grime-hole like this. When he noticed her look back at him, he moved his gaze to the floor. Nothing would be coming out of his mouth for now. He was in too much pain to speak, and if he did they'd probably just beat him again.

For a minute, Myles thought he recognized her speaking Basic, but he couldn't make out the words over all the clamoring and talking in the Hutt's den. Eventually, all he could hear was Hutt-speak. Peering his eye upward slightly, he noticed her gesturing toward him.

F-...Fethin' hell...

"Ho ho ho, Dinah, uba baciya mi..." the Hutt continued. "Hea Jee gee ji muna bai paknee ata mee moulee rah, goo doth tee che nanba. Jeejee gee baua koona che jen."

Ogo let out a short, almost evil chortle as he lazily waved a hand toward Myles.

"...Wonkee da naga jen?"
