When the van comes around. (Yes, that is a Johnny Cash reference, but not really)

[Brutus O'Star]

The team of bank robbers, [member="Cross Ikon"], [member="Mit Tuxaire"], [member="Khalifa Burjjh"], and finally, Brutus O'Star, quickly headed down the street of Correlia, approaching the New Galactic Correlian Bank. That was when a large landspeeder with the letters N.G.C.B. began speeding down the street uncontrollably.

Before anyone had time to reach the entrance of the bank, the van crashed directly into the side of the bank, the front driver being hurled out the front window in a bloody heap. After a few more moments, a uniformed guard popped open the back door and collapsed to the filthy ground.

The wounded guard obviously needed assistance and was literally reaching out towards the group. Brutus's walk turned to a decent speed as he rushed over to the living guard. "W-WHAT THE FETH ARE Y-Y-YOU?" The guard screamed.

A grin appeared on Brutus's split and decaying face. This was not something you saw everyday and he could easily see the bags of possible credits in the back of the van. Brutus did not care why the van crashed, nor did he care about the wounded guard. Credits...was the only thing that mattered.

(This intro is sorta strange, I know. However, I couldn't think of anything better)

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

Burjjh was suspicious. In something like this, it was all about the plan. He didn't like deviation, that's what got you caught. But he couldn't ignore the allure of credits, and he didn't want to make a bad impression, as this was his first time working with [member="Brutus O'Star"]. "Hurry, hurry," he muttered in his hoarse voice. "He's a witness," he said, pointing to the guard. Without hesitation he pulled out his blaster and shot him. In the face. Ignoring the spray of blood, he put a shot into the driver who was probably dead. Without turning he said, "just in case. Let's get a move on."

[lordmitmar]

Mit climbed to the top of a nearby building, sniper in hand, to give [member="Khalifa Burjjh"] and [member="Brutus O'Star"] some cover. "Get a move on already!" he called to them

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

Khalifa gave mit a thumbs up and then proceeded to check for any survivors left in the speeder.

 

[lordmitmar]

Mit set up his bipod and ranged in the scope, watching all directions for guards or possibly, more pirates.

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

"Coast seems clear," mentioned Khalifa, looking at [member="Brutus O'Star"], "let's get in the credits and get in the bank. We can split up of you want, one of us can take the credits and the other goes in the bank." He said. He looked up a [member="Mit Tuxaire"] on the roof and, pressing his comlink, inquired "how's lookout? Anyone coming?"

 

[lordmitmar]

Mit answered his comlink, "All clear so far, you're good to go, ill call if theres anyone coming." he paused, and looked at [member="Khalifa Burjjh"] and [member="Brutus O'Star"], then glanced at the landspeeder. "looks like a lot of credits are in that landspeeder, any idea why it crashed?"

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

"None whatsoever, it is suspicious though. I don't see any laser marks, so it doesn't appear to have been shot at." Khalifa remarked. "I'm not complaining. I'll head in the bank and get some what we came for. I fear we've taken too long already, the bank may have started to clear out because of the crash, but it could cause a good distraction."

[member="Mit Tuxaire"] [member="Brutus O'Star"]

 

[lordmitmar]

Mit gave [member="Khalifa Burjjh"] a thumbs up to show he understood and kept an eye on the area [member="Brutus O'Star"] was in.

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

Burjjh ducked into the bank and calmly walked over to the entrance, blaster in his holster. He was wearing his special armor for this mission-partial shadow trooper armor(chest and arms). Nobody seemed to notice the Trandoshan. He set miniature electric fences by all the possible exits, then jammed communications, and used a special tool he picked up from a smuggler in Trandosha, that jammed the tool almost all banks had, that anonymously alerted authorities. He fired a single blaster bolt into the air. "Attention! I'd appreciate it if you would all hit the deck. Now!" The customers dropped to the floor. Burjjh calmly walked to the teller and held open the bag. No words were necessary.

 

[Cross Ikon]

Walking along the sidewalk, I waved at [member="Mit Tuxaire"], seeing him up on the building with his sniper. I stepped back the now-smoking speeder, and into the bank. I grabbed the most authoritative-looking teller in the room, and pulled him up to his feet, drawing my gun so he didn't get stupid ideas.

"Where's the AI, mister? The one in the little container. I know you have it. I know what it's good for. And I know what exactly I will do if I don't get it."

[member="Mit Tuxaire"]
[member="Brutus O'Star"]

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

Burjjh was shocked when [member="Cross Ikon"] walked in. "This is exactly what gets us caught," he grumbled to himself. Khalifa hated deviating from the plan. "Did you see that Mit?" he asked on the comlink.

Burjjh continued going on about his business taking the credits, but kept an eye on [member="Cross Ikon"].

[member="Mit Tuxaire"] [member="Brutus O'Star"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Sorry, Burjjh. This is the thing I came for, and I ain't leaving without it."

I turned back to the man, checking again that my face was covered by the mask I sometimes wore.

"Look, I'm not in a good mood, and I don't want to hurt you. There's a stolen object here, and I intend to steal it back. It's a small cube. Just point me in the right direction, and I won't take anything else of value."

[member="Khalifa Burjjh"]
[member="Mit Tuxaire"]
[member="Brutus O'Star"]

 

[lordmitmar]

"Yes I did, not much I could do about it though, who does he think he is just waltzing in here anyways? hes going to get us caught at this rate!" Mit muttered to [member="Khalifa Burjjh"] and recalibrated his scope to be able to see inside better.
[member="Cross Ikon"]
[member="Brutus O'Star"]

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

"[member="Cross Ikon"] Where you thinking of cutting us in on any the value of this item?" Burjjh inquired. "After all, you are increasing our chances of getting caught..." he continued. "Or is it a personal item of yours?".

[member="Cross Ikon"] [member="Mit Tuxaire"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"It's not a personal item. It's an old device or artificial intelligence that's holding information I need. As long as you and your friend with the sniper don't interfere, I can get us all offworld without getting caught."

I strode past the now-scared bank teller into the vault, which only required a swift blast to open. In there, I saw several safe deposit boxes. However, the item I was looking for was in plain sight. A cube that glowed slightly, and was probably a well of information.

"Alright. You're mine, now."

I walked back out, to the Trandoshan and his bag of credits and precious metals.

"I've got what I came for. These morons don't know what it is, I'd bet."

[member="Khalifa Burjjh"]
[member="Mit Tuxaire"]

 

[Khalifa Burjjh]

"A free ticket off here sounds good to me, considering I've got all I need." He pressed the comlink, "sound good to you Mit? He can get us away from here." He inquired.

[member="Cross Ikon"] [member="Mit Tuxaire"] [member="Brutus O'Star"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

I walked up to the lizard and spoke into his comm.

"This is Cross. My Duchess is above the planet right now. I can get you out of here, [member="Mit Tuxaire"]."

I looked up at [member="Khalifa Burjjh"].

"Does that sound agreeable to you, Captain?"

 

[lordmitmar]

"alright [member="Cross Ikon"] ill give you a chance, but make a move and you'll have a blaster bolt in your head before you can say 'Rancor'." he turned the sniper back to look at the intersection of alleys and streets, who knows what could happen if a firefight broke out.
[member="Khalifa Burjjh"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Ah, ah, Mr. Tuxaire. We've met before, and I certainly know that you won't shoot the one who's got you offplanet."

I turned to the Trandoshan.

"[member="Khalifa Burjjh"], follow me. We'll be taking my shuttle out."

I walked out the door, and into a large alleyway with a courtyard behind it. My shuttle, a mess of chrome-plated wings and points, was sitting there, humming slightly.

"Come on, Mr. Tuxaire, or the express will leave without you."
