Derisive Umbaran
DUBRILLION
RISHAN
Dubrillion's surface was primarily ocean. What sparse land there was had become occupied with high-rise cities that reminded Adekos of Coruscant. It was his most recent assessment of the One Sith that led him to believe that it was charted for a painful, downward spiral. The Yuuzhan-Vong were insolent, mindless beasts that knew nothing but destruction and being cultural troglodytes. In the grand scheme of things, leaving them was optimal. For the short term, it meant two things. One: the One Sith had a new set of enemies that knew more about their tactics and strategy than they'd like. Two: the deprivation of their primary shock force was going to leave them vulnerable to impending assault. Maybe the One Sith would rise to the occasion and surmount the rising star of the Galactic Alliance regardless of being deprived of their favorite cannon fodder and renown leaders.
But probably not.
And that was why Adekos was going to have to turn his gaze outward again and make sure his other projects would continue on long after the demise of the One Sith again. Normally he didn't handle these sorts of things himself, but he just happened to be in the area, so why not? This was the sort of mission that required a special touch as well. Hegemonic Automaton had been looking to establish a distribution center in this area for the better part of several months. Construction should have been completed by now, but the local mob kept hampering their efforts. They demanded a bribe, but Gerion Ardik did not deal with criminals. The result now was that construction workers and Hegemonic employees were being intimidated and assaulted. Machinery was being stolen, droids destroyed. It was all but too much for an Umbaran to take, so now there would be hell to pay.
The local mob leader was a Caamasi. It was unsurprising that on a humanocentric world like Dubrillion, most of the alien races turned to crime. What was surprising was that it was a Caamasi! They were supposed to be peaceful, but apparently if they were raised far enough away from their planet, anything was possible. Heseqey no doubt felt that she was owed something for her mistreatment by the Dubrillionites over the years. Never an excuse to turn to crime or harass more legitimate enterprises, which was why Adekos was going to forcibly place her under an unofficial citizen's arrest and use her as leverage to beat her mob back into line. Or, in other words, kidnap her and use her as leverage.
Since she was naturally a non-murder type of person, who better than to contract than [member="Ivy Lasranae"]? Ostensibly this was the only factor that led to her contracting. It had precious little do do with... Anything else.
Heseqey was currently attending a lavish party in the upper floors of a skyscraper. The windows were not tinted or shuttered, and so Adekos could see through them very plainly from his vantage point on the rooftop of a neighboring building. With the assistance of macrobinoculars, of course. He tracked her from window to window before eventually holding them out for Ivy to take. "Of all the intelligence I had gathered, I don't know how long she usually stays at these little parties for." He grumbled. "She's getting another drink. See if you can spot her guards. They peeled off from her a while ago."
