Orbit, Keres I
"We're entering Orbit, R9 take the Controls from here, I've gotta get set up" The Bounty Hunter said as he spun his chair to the side, standing up as his Astromech moved up and linked to the Computer. Starlot quickly walked out of the Andromeda's Cabin, as R9 took control. Travis quickly turned left, heading into the Sleeping quarters, where he started to assemble his gear. His Astromech beeped, and made a whistle,
"Yes R9, for the thirtieth time, this isn't our usual Bounty, but it pays good" he said, locking on the hook attachments and locking them into his left gauntlet,
he Quickly picking up his two WESTAR 35's and slipping them into the holsters, then placing the third one in the leg holster. R9 beeped again as the Andromeda started to sail, safely, into the atmosphere of Keres I.
" 'Dangerous', You're even more paranoid than Doc" Starlot said, quickly locking his boot into place and stepping off the Bunk. Walking back to the entrance to the Pilot's cabin, he looked over to R9. "All we're doing, is we capture some creatures called 'panokseons', and they give us 3,000 credits a Piece, it's a Steal!" he said, his left hand raised in exclamation, as his right hand rested on the entrance way.
["The Pankseons have an Acid Spittle that can melt through Metal, and are incredibly big"], Starlot turned, to see his Medical droid (though as concerned as a Protocol droid), 'Doc' behind him. He turned and looked slightly down to meet the eye sensors of the Droid, ['Though if you ever took of that helmet, some sense might leak in"]. Travis shook his head as he walked past Doc, "Look....." he said, stopping at the Ship's left side air lock, down the hall. "I think I've been in enough scrapes to deal with some Animals-", ["Animals that Feed on Hypermatter"].
"Yeah, they Feed off of it, Does it mean the guys are as powerful as a Kriffin' reactor?", Starlot hit the button opening the inside Airlock door. "R9, we in atmosphere?", the droid chippered, "perfect". The Mandalorian walked down the short airlock, pressing the button and opening the outside door. Though the ship flew, it's velocity wasn't fast enough to pull him out, though he grabbed the grappel bars in the airlock's ceiling all the same. As the Vessel made it's way towards the Northwest, below them, Starlot could see the Immense Rocky landscape, the heat bearing inside of the Airlock.
"For the love of- Kriff how do these things even survive out here?" ducking his head back in as the sun bared down on him.
["They feed off of pure Hypermatter from the air, still unknown as to how, though it's theorized it's because of their biology forming from such a barren place"], Starlot took note, as he leaned back out a bit.
"R9, When we're above the Northwest area, gimme the signal. Once I'm on the ground, just hang back in orbit Until I contact you, until then, I'd say just feed me any Info you can".
As the Vessel flew, R9 felt two Markers below them, two Jedi as they passed overhead, As the VEssel stopped high in the air, R9 called to Starlot. "Alright, You two keep the Vessel in Sub - Orbit until I contact you. Till' then, just feed me anything you can on the field". As Starlot let go of the Bar, he stepped out of the Airlock, allowing himself to drop through the air, though the wind hardly did anything with his helmet and armor protecting him.
As He Started to descend fast, Doc contacted him on his comms, ["Try not to get torn apart. That Wampa incident has still left a scar on you"]. "Hey, that Wampa is from a long line of Jedi - Killers I'll have you know!" He gested, as he activated his Jet Pack. The Pack started to decrease his fall, first only a little bit, then picking up and slowing his descent a huge amount. As Starlot dropped, he settled down onto the rocky landscape, the Sun bearing down on him, though thankfully the Armor's thermal cooling helped to regulate it.
"Alright, I'm on the ground. Time to go hunting".
Starlot, with his Rifle in Hand, crept on his stomach as he approached over the Rocky Hill on the planet. Hearing the sound of what he can only guess is a Pankseon nearby, he quickly crept over, trying to stay lo and out of sight. Reaching the peak of the Hill, he looked over, to see a Large, Strange looking creature, standing down near the bottom of the Slope.
"I have Visual, R9, Confirm?", The Astromech beeped after seeing through the Helmet's Visor UI.
["What's the Pankseon doing?"], "Well.....It's standing there. If I were to guess, Possibly feeding off of Hypermatter?". Starlot answered Doc, in partial uncertainty, as the concept was almost ridiculous for an animal to easily be able to do. "No time like the Present" Starlot said, taking one end of the Cor and sticking it firm in the rocky ground, then taking the other end and shooting it with his Gauntlet, causing it to stick straight in the ground 10 feet from him. 'They're resistant to Ion Weaponry, just my lucky day right? Let's see if we still can't take him down our way' though as he switched his DLT - 20A Rifle into Stun. Taking a Knee on the top of the hill, he fired the Rifle at the Pankseon, soaring down until it made contact.
The Pankseon shook, shaking it's head it squealed, and Oinked, before turning back to the top of the Hill to face the Mandalorian.
"Well we know it can stand up to enough ION Stun to knock out a Wampa", he said, standing up, as it kicked up the dirt with one of it's feet.
["You'll have to Incapacitate it manually"], "never the easy way?" Starlot gested, as the now angered Pankseon stared at him. It then growled, in a half Oink, as it charged at it's attacker. "That's right, come to me" Starlot said, as the Pankseon charged at him, up the rock hill. ["Captain, Out of the way, Now!"] Doc shouted, 'I've got to get it in just the right spot" he answered as the creature neared him. Just as it was nearing only 5 feet from him, Travis hit his Jetpack, shooting him meters from the top of the hill, landing on his feet at the bottom. The Pankseon walked right into the Cord, as the front legs of it hit the Cable, the Electromagnetic hook ends activated. Spinning around and wrapping around the creature's from legs were wrapped together by the cable.
It Oinked in shock, as it tumbled 3 times down the hill, Starlot quickly leaping out of the way. The Pankseon landed on it's stomach, upon doing so it quickly started to wrestle at the cable, though no use as the two hook were locked by the Electromagnetic connection. Starlot quickly jetted upwards, loading another, though shorter cable, and shooting it near one of it's back legs. As it did so, he landed and wrapped it around the legs a few times, before shooting the other end of the cable to the tied up legs. Upon nearing the hooks, the Magnetic connection activated them, quickly sticking tightly together, into a makeshift hogtie.
Starlot landed, his jetpack hot from the frequent use, he rolled his neck once as he gazed at the captured Pankseon.
["As Elegant as Ever"] Doc said, obviously joking,
"Sure, Sure. You guys gotten the data logged?" Starlot said, as the Pankseon rested it's head on the ground, now wanting to rest. R9 Beeped in the background, He watched as the Pankseon shot from acid from it's mouth in front of it's head, landing and burning the ground in front of it. "Good" Starlot said, taking his had from his helmet comm, and gripping his rifle, "Let's go hunting".
