Brought to Entralla for disparate reasons, Juris Varga, R2-Q5, Gand of Gand, and Verk Mesqen all found themselves in need of work. Begas Tok was only too happy to provide these desperate people with an opportunity. A ship to call their own. Home. Transportation. Place of business. The Noculent was all of these.

For the past six months, the crew of The Noculent has been working together as a close crew and extended family. Taking whatever jobs they can find to keep them in the air, with a few on the side for Begas Tok to help pay off their sizable debt.

About a week ago Tok put the crew of The Noculent in touch with a “fixer”, Kavin Rel. He had a simple smuggling job for them. Meet him at Cloud City of Bespin, pick up a shipment of rare ales and spirits, then deliver it. Easy money.

The Noculent made the trip to Bespin in good time and now her crew awaits Rel at the arranged cargo warehouse in the upper levels of Cloud City, content that everything will go according to plan…

Most fixers tend to cause trouble. It’s just a fact of the galaxy. Kavin Rel was apparently the best you’d ever met at it. Of course, it cost him in the end. To his credit, Rel showed up on time and with the crates of ale and spirits you were promised. Unfortunately for him, so did a group of assassins.

As his body hit the floor, still smoking from the deadly blaster bolt that had scarred his chest, Gand was already lining up a shot into the dark rafters of the warehouse. The glint of a sniper scope was the only clue Gand had as to the whereabouts of the killer, but Gand made the shot count as Gand slid into cover behind a stack of crates labeled, “Dehydrated Nerf Milk.” Despite the gands lucky shot, a return shot erupted from the darkness, clipping Verk‘s arm. The bounty hunter quickly joined Gand behind cover and joined him in firing at the hidden sniper. Meanwhile, Juris, thinking of the job, grabbed the repulsorsled controls and began moving it toward the cargo speeder. R2-Q5, always quick on his treads, made his way to a nearby terminal and began working to gain access to the warehouse’s systems.

As 6 thugs crossed the warehouse floor, both Gand and Verk continued to exchange fire with the sniper. Juris stayed with his idea of moving the sled, while R2 finally was able to gain access and flood the warehouse with light, exposing the barabel sniper’s exact location.

Once exposed, the barabel decided his high ground was no longer safe and began making his way down the gantry crane, eventually coming face to face with Juris. R2 quickly attempt to take control of a load lifter that was nearby the closest group of thugs. Although unable to drop the cargo upon them, the shifting crates were enough to provide enough of a distraction to provide Verk the perfect opportunity to drop a frag grenade right in the middle of the three men. It went off with devastating effect, instantly killing two and pusng the third to the edge of death. Gand seeing the battle well in Verk’s hands, turned to follow Juris. As Gand rounded the corner and skid to a stop next to the mechanic Gand saw the sniper, now on the ground, and instantly reacted by raising his rifle and putting the barabel down for good. The three remaining thugs, terrified of the hunter and his grenades, turned and ran down an adjacent aisle to find the cargo.
The dying thug, a rodian, was able to use his last breath to line up the most accurate shot of his life, connecting with Verk’s chest. In excruciating pain,Verk dropped, his only option to wait for an ally to resuscitate him.

A few aisles away, the battle was going much differently. Despite a few lucky shots from the assassins, they were no match for Gand and Juris. The most telling moment of the quick firefight was when a well placed shot from Juris instantly killed a twi’lek and the dying alien’s death throes caused his blaster to discharge. Directly into the abdomen of the man next to him. From there it was simply a matter of cleanup. One final thug, one unconscious bounty hunter, and a sled of cargo.

After loading the crates and blasting out of the warehouse, the chance to breathe easy lasted mere minutes before a pair of the Bespin Wing Guard’s cloud cars pulled alongside the speeder and demanded you follow them to a security platform. Reluctantly capitulating the crew was immediately disarmed after landing. A quick search of the speeder and its contents revealed that the fine ales and spirits were in actuality a load of glitterstim. Led to the nearby security office and left to stew in a starkly oppressive interrogation room,the crew was surprised when a Sector Ranger entered and introduced himself a Marek Quay, the Ranger for the Anoat Sector. After some mild questioning, Quay admitted that he was less concerned with them than finding who was controlling the spice ring. He offered a deal. Work with him, find the person in charge, or…spend a long time imprisoned.

The crew didn’t have to think for long before taking the deal. Quay provided 5,000 credits for emergencies and investigation expenses, a micro-transponder, and his Holonet comm code along with orders to find out where and when the shipment was to be delivered. He also provided some information about the assassins from the warehouse. They were members of Brotherhood Mortalis, an expansive mercenary group known for an extreme intolerance of failure, loyalty to the contract, and thoroughness. Despite their reach, he was unaware of any presence on Cloud City. His suggestion was to determine who would hire them to kill Kavin Rel and you by extension.

The crew first decided to discover who had hired Rel, and where the shipment was destined. Hoping to find useful information in his apartment, R2-Q5 sliced the lock while Verk distracted the superintendent. Quickly gaining access, R2, Juris, and Gand spent about half an hour searching the fixer’s cluttered apartment. They found several useful bits of info, including the name of Toydarian on Vanqor. Weeko Neeks, a middleman for Muraga the Hutt, was expecting the shipment in 7 days. The other piece of information was related to a number of death threats Kavin had received over the past month advising him to discontinue his relationship with Weeko Neeks. These comms were traced back to a user named “Stim” using a public terminal.

Next the crew went after Brotherhood Mortalis. R2 was told by a contact that the Brotherhood’s handler worked out of a seedy Sabacc bar called The Skifter. Arriving at The Skifter the crew was unsurprised to find the mercenaries with the run of the bar. Pointed to an over-sized nautolan named Pit Duall, the crew approached without a clear plan. It was obvious, both to them and to Pit. After talking in circles for a few minutes Pit finally admitted that a huge human who called himself Stim had taken out the contract on the fixer.

The crew reported what they had learned to Marek Quay, who arranged for the shipment to be delivered to a secluded cargo platform. Arriving shortly prior to dusk,the crew was only slightly surprised to see three large humans step from the shadows. What surprised them was the bio enhancement apparatus that increased the men’s mass substantially. Luckily, the crew was ready for the ambush this time. The three humanoids grabbed cover and started opening fire on the enhanced soldiers, but the astromech, always a daredevil, decided to use the speeder as a weapon and rammed one of the soldiers head on. Over the next few seconds a fast but savage fight broke out. Both sides scored impressive attacks, including a few masterful blaster shots to disable the bio-enhancement units. However, the soldiers were able to brutally injure both Juris and Gand with deft vibroblade work. Ultimately the crew was successful although the cost of victory was high. While catching their breath a security force, alerted to the blaste fire, arrived led by Quay. After searching the soldiers, some interesting information was uncovered. These men possessed tattoos typically seen on Imperial soldiers and were in the possession of a communiqué from Stim. The message included the ambush location along with a directive to “return to Vanqor when the job is complete.” In addition, the crew determined that the chemical used in the injection system had the smell and sheen of glitterstim.

Quay then told the crew to take what they had learned to Vanqor along with the glitterstim and find the leader of the spice ring. He reminded them that betraying was a terrible idea, unless they wanted all of their dirty secrets and history to catch up with them.
The crew then loaded The Noculent, prepped for take off, and began plotting the course from Bespin to Vanqor. The nav computer says it will take 5 days to reach Vanqor, but they have no idea what they’ll find when they get there.

After arriving at Vanqor the crew made contact with Weeko Neeks and arranged to deliver the goods to Muraga the Hutt‘s landing platform. While approaching the rendezvous point you learned that Vanqor was in the midst of preparation for The Gundark Open, a hunting competition held annually. Weeko, upon receipt of his goods, was more than happy to tell you about the Gundark Open and his employer’s hunt team, the defending champions. Quick thinking by Gand and Juris gave them the time to install a homing device on the contraband glitterstim before handing it off to Weeko. This would allow them to follow the goods from a safe distance. Weeko was also convinced to arrange for invitations to Muraga’s festivites for three of the crew, leaving Verk to sneak aboard the luxury liner among another group of hunters.

Once aboard, the crew was impressed by the extravagance of the Hutt’s party. The ship’s ballroom was decorated with expensive silks and the tables were full of decadent food and drink. The nobles, merchants, and hunters milling about became an excellent source of information and the crew successfully plied them for dirt on Muraga, his hunt team, and the Gundark Open itself. While Gand, Juris, and R2-Q5 gathered intelligence, Verk noticed a hulking waiter that matched the description of Stim. Juris and Gand followed the large man out of the ballroom and through the servants quarters to a small storage area where they witnessed something unexpected. Stim and his soldiers were mourning the death of a friend, who apparently died due to a lack of “juice.” After a near disastrous encounter with the soldiers, Juris and Gand reunited with R2 and Verk in the ballroom with a new lead to follow: the ti’lek majordomo’s terminal. It could be used to locate the exact coordinates of the spice delivery.

The crew crept through the ship until they found the quarters of Muraga and his majordomo. After a quick and literal job of breaking and entering by Juris, the crew gained access to the Commander’s Quarters. Juris and R2 quickly set to work slicing into the majordomo’s terminal while Verk watched the door and Gand looked for the most easily pilfered piece of art. The two at the terminal were able to access the coordinates before being locked out of the system. Meanwhile Gand, with Verk’s assistance, disabled the alarm system on one of the valuable statuettes and dropped it into R2’s hidden compartment. With the vital information in hand they made their escape, tangling with a few of Muraga’s guards on the way out.

The next day the crew discovered that in order to gain entry to the Open they needed to raise some capital. The 5k from Marek Quay along with the 2k from the delivery payment, still left them over 3k short. R2 was able to use his underworld contacts to locate a fence, named Creeg, who operated out of a small tourist shop in one of the smaller nearby lodges. Once the crew established their reason for being there and after a slight “misunderstanding” with Juris about his shop droid, Creeg took Gand, Verk, and R2 to the back of his shop for real business. Verk engaged in some very savvy and uncharacteristic negotiation and got Creeg to pay out 3,500 credits for three stolen Imperial carbines and the statue. This pushed them over the 10k needed for entry with a few credits to spare.

The next morning saw the crew lined up, along with the dozens of other teams, ready to begin the hunt. Another team pointed out Muraga’s huntsmen. A dangerous looking rodian and two gamorreans. When the hunt began, Muraga’s team immediately headed away from the majority of the hunting team’s speeders. Using the coordinates acquired on Muraga’s liner, the crew piloted their speeder directly to the meeting place, a cave complex towards the heart of the preserve. Knowing they were early the crew managed to find decent hiding positions around the cave and the underground stream that bisected the cavern and wait for the hand-off to occur. Twenty minutes later, the rodian and his team arrived with the crates of stim and were met by a six man squad of Imperial Stormtroopers. The payment for the stims was a live albino elder Gundark. In the midst of the hand-off, Gand and Verk noticed Stim and his soldiers attempting to sneak up on the group by the stream. Unfortunately, so did the rodian. All hell broke loose. The huntsmen began attacking the stormtroopers and Stim’s soldiers. The stormtroopers opened fire on the gamorreans and the crew. Luckily for Gand, Juris, R2, and Verk, Stim’s soldiers didn’t initially know of their presence. After a brief but violent firefight, the only people left standing were Stim’s men and the crew. Gand, Juris, and Verk managed to disable the bio-enhancement units on the soldier’s chests, causing debilitating withdrawal and pain.

Then Marek Quay arrived, wearing the uniform of an ISB captain. Along with a full battalion of stormtroopers. He coldly executed Stim’s soldiers, Rix and Garn, leaving only the crew and Stim alive. He quickly explained that without their help he never would have been able to track down Stim and his men, escapees from an ISB experimental soldier program. He then took the entire crew into custody along with Stim and loaded them all onto his shuttle.

After three days of hyperspace travel, with no contact with their Imperial captors, the crew was delivered dinner and a datapad. The datapad contained a message from Muraga the Hutt, detailing His Excellency’s plan to have them freed from the Imperial frigate Valiant and to deliver the saboteur Stim to him on Vanqor. After lights out, the cell doors opened revealing an Imperial lieutenant, who pointed out the crews goods and told them they had about 30 minutes before anyone got suspicious and came to check on them.

Juris took the initiative and began slicing a security terminal, successfully downloading a ship schematic along with discovering the location of both Stim and The Noculent. The crew began making their way toward the detention area that held Stim, utilizing the stalking expertise of both Gand and Verk they quickly and quietly traversed the corridors of the Valiant. Upon arrival, the crew saw a small group of Stormtroopers standing before the entrance to the detention block. R2-Q5 rolled forward, taking advantage of his inconspicuousness to gain access to a security terminal which allowed him to send the troopers a false message, diverting two to another area of the ship. Verk, Gand, and Juris then went down a side corridor with the intent of flanking the lone trooper and quickly dispatching him. Unfortunately, Juris stumbled over his own feet while rounding a corner drawing the attention of a stormtrooper sergeant in a side room. R2 once again was able to provide the required distraction.

Once the humanoids were in place, R2 rolled up to the solitary trooper in the detention area drawing his attention and allowing Verk to sneak up and bash him over the head with the butt of his rifle. Combined with a vicious stab of Gand’s vibroknife, the sudden ferocity of the crew’s attack instantly won the skirmish. Dragging the stormtrooper’s corpse into the cell block behind them, R2 quickly found and gained access to Stim’s cell. The soldier was clearly in severe withdrawal and had little to no memory of recent events, but the crew seemed intent on helping, so he accompanied them.

The crew then made their way through the Valiant, stopping to make escape preparations. First, Juris disabled the docking clamps of an entire squadron of TIE fighters, ensuring at least 12 less TIEs in pursuit. Next, was a trip to a munitions depot to acquire the ordinance to disable the port banks of tractor beams. Finally, the crew was able to rig a remote triggering detonator with R2 and place the demolition package in a power conduit that would cripple the tractors.

The crew then made their way toward The Noculent, discovering a handful of stormtroopers and marek Quay had emptied the ship of cargo and were preparing to engage the crew when they arrived. Convinced of their sneakiness, Verk led the way around the bay hoping to gain access to the ship before being noticed. They were wrong. Easily spotted by the stormtroopers, a firefight broke out and both Verk and Gand were severely injured. However, through some quick thinking and a bit of luck the crew was able to dispatch the troopers and board The Noculent.

Gand piloted the ship away from the Valiant and quickly charted a short hyperspace jump. When Gand engaged the hyperdrive however the crew heard the unmistakable WHIR WHIR WHIR of a malfunctioning hyperdrive motivator. While Juris and R2 tackled that problem, Gand noticed TIEs in pursuit and gaining ground quickly. He sent Verk to the turret and put The Noculent through her paces to evade the Imperial fighters. Over the next few minutes, the TIEs and The Noculent traded fire as they spun, dove, and weaved around each other. Verk managed to take out two TIEs before the combined effort of Juris and R2 repaired the damaged motivator and they all blasted into hyperspace.

During transit, Gand was able to sedate Stim and eventually get him to a point where he could talk. He told them of the Imperial Security Bureau’s experiment to make super soldiers, and how he and his friends volunteered, not really knowing what they were in for. Once they became addicted to glitterstim the only course before them was to get their hands on as much as possible. They thought that stealing directly from the drug dealers themselves would be the best option. After telling his story he succumbed, once again, to withdrawal and passed out.

Arriving back at Vanqor, the crew met with Muraga’s majordomo and delivered the unconscious Stim. The twi’lek expressed His Excellency’s gratitude and showed proof that he had made a sizable payment to their employer, Begas Tok, on their behalf.

What Muraga does with Stim didn’t really bother the rogues of The Noculent. They got paid, and that’s what mattered. Now they just need to lie low for a while and let the Imperial heat die down, but Marek Quay is still alive, and they have a feeling he is one to carry a grudge. For a long time.

Part 1
After a few weeks of rest the crew got back into the swing of things with a simple delivery job for Begas Tok. Take water to Formos, deliver it to a human named Frint, and get out with out causing too much trouble. Sure. That’s possible.

Arriving in Formos Spaceport, the crew discovered the wiry man, Frint, already waiting for them. He took the shipment of water, thanked the crew, told them they could get some refreshment at Rii Jenks’ Cantina, then bolted. Although Frint was odd, the crew members had completed their job and were excited to grab a drink or two, before heading back to Entralla. Making their way through the congested thoroughfares of Formos Spaceport, the crew was struck by the aridity of Formos. This must be why the cool desert world would need imported water. At the intersection of an alleyway and busy street, the crew met Mama Nobah, a water vendor, with the “lowest prices on Formos.” Her prices were indeed low, and R2-Q5 (for some reason) bought two jars. They then continued towards Rii Jenks’ Cantina, but soon met a Tritonite missionary proclaiming the glory of Gactimus. As they grew closer to the cantina, the sound of a metallic voice was heard from a nearby alley. Investigating, Juris and Gand discovered a dismembered protocol droid in a trash compactor. The droid introduced himself as F9-B8, and told a tale of being attacked and left for dead over a day ago by humans who droidnapped his companion, an astromech, named R4-W9. He told them that both he and R4-W9 were manumitted by their previous owner on her deathbed, and had spent the past few years traveling the Outer Rim. R4 in particular had spent much time mapping the nearby Kessel Run and had accumulated possibly the most detailed and accurate astrogational information for the dangerous smuggler’s run. Juris and R2 collected all of B8’s pieces and took them back to The Noculent so Juris could attempt to save the droid at a later time.

Meanwhile, Gand and Verk proceeded on to the cantina. Upon entry they immediately saw a bounty notice for an Aqualish named Bandin Nobah. After ordering drinks and some inquiry into Dobah, a Devaronian approached and introduced himself as Snoo, an information broker.He provided the two with information about Bandin Dobah and even a Rodian bounty hunter who had been in looking for Dobah recently.

While, Gand and Verk got information from Snoo, Juris and R2 were making there way back towards Rii Jenks’ Cantina. On the way they observed some shady looking individuals loading goods onto a speeder down a side street. When questioned, these men told the man and droid to mind their own business. They continued on and arrived at the cantina as Snoo was finishing telling the others what he knew.

Soon a young rodian woman entered and approached the bar. Gand, taking an interest, went over and offered to buy her a drink. As Gand asked the young woman, Zukata, about herself the doors to the cantina swung open revealing three arrogant looking men, two human and one wee-quay. They swaggered in and made their way to the bar. The younger and smaller of the humans, noticing Zukata, began attempting to ingratiate himself with the rodian. Despite her obvious discomfort at his advances, the man continued until Verk stepped in and made it known that he was over stepping. The young man, who Verk had heard called Spir, looked as if he wanted to escalate the confrontation, but after a subtle shake of the head from the older human, backed down. The three then quickly finished their drinks and left the cantina.

Gand then continued talking to Zukata, learning as much about he as possible. She had left Rodia on a surveying mission. Her task was to get accurate and up to date information for inclusion in a rodian atlas of Hutt Space for use by bounty hunters. After some coy mentions of the rodian hunter the crew had learned about from Snoo, she admitted that he was her brother, Godon Nekatta, and had most likely gone after Dobah alone. During the conversation, Verk noticed a toydarian eavesdropping and when confronted the small alien grinned sheepishly and made his way toward the door. Verk, Juris, and R2 pursued stealthily, while Gand remained behind with Zukata.

Successfully tracking the toydarian to a small warehouse, Verk glimpsed the older human from earlier in the doorway. He crept forward to get a look into the building and overheard the toydarian telling the man, who he called Daro, that the crew was asking about Dobah and that the Rodian girl was Godon’s sister. Daro then told his men to get ready. They were going hunting.

Verk radioed Gand over his commlink and let him know that he was going to have company. Then covered R2 while the little droid broke into the warehouse. The safe house contained a number of couches and cargo cases, most of which were empty. R2 did find a locker that when opened contained 235 credits.

Juris, however, was elated to discover R4-W9 in one corner. Once he had removed the restraining bolt, the little droid told of his capture. R2 was able to access a computer that had been attached to the R4 unit, discovering coordinates for a small cluster of asteroids nearby and also a file named “Pass,” that when opened emitted a binary jumble of numbers.

Meanwhile, Gand had escorted Zukata to a nearby rooftop to await the smugglers he had been warned about. After a short wait, the group of 7 men approached the cantina. When they discovered the crew was gone, they spread out to search the surrounding warehouses.

Back at the warehouse, Verk realized that Gand would need help, so he sent Juris and R2 to see R4-W9 to The Noculent safely, then hurried back to the Cantina. Verk and Gand coordinated their attack and opened fire at precisely the same time, dropping two of the smugglers immediately. The others scattered and returned fire. Juris and R2 arrived just in time to swing the battle their way, providing the support needed to finish off the last of the assailants.

As the whine of the last blaster bolt faded, the sound of heavy boots could be heard in the distance and the crew knew it must be Imperial Navy Troopers coming to “maintain the peace.” Quickly searching the bodies and grabbing what they could in the time allowed the crew made a break for the space docks.

Once aboard The Noculent, the crew was able to take a moment to breathe. They now have in tow, a rodian girl in search of her brother and two droids, one of which is apparently vengeful and insisting that the crew help him pay back Dobah and his men. Add to that the fact that they just blasted 7 of his men and it seems the crew really only has one choice at this point: Bring down Bandin Dobah. Or die trying.

Part 2

As reported by Gand of Gand. (see comment #1)

Verk’s Log:
My eyes darted about keeping track of my target, also making sure I wouldn’t be noticed. The sun glared directly into my vision obscuring the droid as I followed. He was quick, but I was quicker. I knew that he would be tough to follow. He was a top tier war machine droid. I’d heard horror stories about them in my early huntin’ days. I knew that if I wasn’t careful I was sure as dead. Things were still going to plan and that’s when I saw it. The droid rapidly approached his tier one scordo venom land speeder. One of the fastest land speeders on the market today. I knew I had to think fast. I quickly reached in my pocket and pulled out one of my sticky tracking beacons. I hurled onto the back of his speeder as soon as he started it up. Silly droid didn’t even notice. As he sped off I nonchalantly pulled out a death stick. I lit it and calmly thought to myself; I got you now, bitch.

My team slowly caught up to me as I had locked in on his location. They weren’t exactly the most skilled bunch, but they’re my crew and I’ll fight til the end with them. We tailed him all the way back to some warehouses. I knew that his speeder had an incineration function. And if I knew anything about war machine droids, he was sure to use it. I quickly climbed my way up onto a nearby building and fixed my gaze onto the droid as he was heading to another warehouse. I notified the crew and jumped my way down. His speeder was long gone by now, definitely incinerated. I stealthily followed him into the nearby warehouse and his whole team was waiting for us. I quickly dispatched the two war machines with well placed blast rounds. The third and fourth were a bit more tricky to take down. With some minor aid from my team I was able to sweep the field of them as well. That left us with only one enemy, the camel man. When I stepped into his office I found my mechanic where he usually is, in the corner whimpering. The Gand doing the same. I knew it was up to me to stop him at this point. I fired off a few warning shots and he surrendered immediately. The camel knew I wasn’t here to play games.

As I put the binders on him and got the rest of the team back in order, a smile crossed my face. I had somehow forgotten how good the thrill of a hunt was. It was good to be fully back in action, rounding up some scum for a few extra creds.

Dear Diary,

Today was a good day. I spent the early hours working on rebuilding one of the old droids I salvaged from our last job. I don’t know why Verk keeps saying these are top of the line. This model, while pretty impressive in its day, hasn’t been in production for decades. With a little more work I believe I can get at least one of them working again… I might even be able to add a few improvements. I would have gotten more done on it but everyone keeps asking me to fix their stuff. I don’t mind of course, these guys are my best friends. I’d do anything for them.

Anyway, we got word that a Duros named Banu was looking for some help. We needed the credits so we went to offer our services. Apparently Banu was a member of the crew of a ship named the Dawn’s Damsel. It had been taken to the junkyard planet of Korad and its nav systems had some astrogation data that would be worth a lot of creds to the right person. To be honest, I wasn’t paying too much attention at that point. All I could think about were all the droid parts that would be littering the ground on Korad. I’d be able to fix up those old droids in no time.

The trip there was pretty uneventful and we made pretty good time. The administrator on Korad, I think her name was Talure, searched their databases for the location of the Dawn’s Damsel as well as a speeder. Verk attempted to negotiate a price for the info. He seemed to be pretty good at it, I guess. While he and Talure talked, Gand motioned me over. He said that the information that we needed was just over in the other room on the terminal and that I should just go over and get it. Gand has yet to lead me astray so I tried to sneak over there. It really was a pretty good plan… except for the part where the door was locked. R2 helped with the lock but the door made a very loud squeak and everyone looked right at me. It… was… terrible… We ended up paying for the info anyway.

OH! THIS IS THE BEST PART! I FOUND AN ARM! No, no, no. Not a real arm, a droid arm. It will work perfectly with my restoration project. It looks like it’s from a FN-29 model. Fully articulating digits, dual hydraulic actuators, titanium alloy, and it’s in perfect condition. Well, you know, aside from only being the arm… I wish I could have found the entire droid. Oh well.

We got as far as we could on our speeder but salvage and junk blocked our path. We got out and went in one foot, when all of a sudden; more speeders sped up to us. An unsavory bunch got out and demanded we tell them what was so valuable about the Dawn’s Damsel. None of us were willing to give that up so they opened fire on us. Gand set up behind cover and started picking off our enemies left and right (he’s so cool like that). R2 rolled around, taking shots here and there. I think he was trying to be a distraction. I’m not really sure what the person who programmed him was thinking… Verk charged forward but over extended himself. And this is where I had my proudest moment. I jumped out and pushed him out of the line of fire. Unfortunately I took the hit and here’s where it gets hazy… All I remember is Verk standing over top of me, firing like crazy, with tears streaming down his face. I could have sworn he yelled “JURIS! NOOOOO! You were my best friend and I never got to tell you! I’LL KILL YOU ALL!” At least, I think that’s what happened. Hazy… remember?

Next thing I know, I’m back among the living. I guess I just got knocked out and not killed. I feel really bad about scaring my friends like that. Anyway, we scoped out the Dawn’s Damsel and saw a bunch of Ulgors milling about the wreck. R2 and Verk go down to investigate. It turned out that the Ulgors had made the ship into a holy site. They wouldn’t let R2 on the ship, so it was up to me to get the astrogation info out of the nav system. Once we were in the ship, Verk pretended to do a holy interpretive dance to distract the Ulgors while I extracted the info. We actually managed to get out without any more complications.

We took the info back to Banu and he paid us. After that we went back to the Noculent and I went to my quarters to write in my diary… But I guess you knew that part. I wonder what’s in store for Juris and his amazing friends tomorrow.

-Juris Varga

P.S. Gand let me see the vid feed from his scope. Verk has some impressive moves.

With the arrival of the Imperials, the crew knew they needed to work quickly to acquire the target and escape. Gand began scanning communications frequencies to provide information to the party, while Juris abandoned his mission to disable the hyperdrive and began making his way toward the three crew members already attempting to steal the contents of Dr. Nara Kaylack‘s safebox. At the secure storage facility, Verk, Tran, and R2-Q5 were in,the midst of talking their way past the facility’s administrator. With a quick bit of slicing, R2 was able to adjust the facility’s records to appear that Verk was actually Dr. Kaylack. This, combined with the safebox receipt and access codes, convinced the administrator to show them to Dr. Kaylack’s box. After opening the safebox and removing the machine it contained, Verk heard the tell tale signs of an argument from the main lobby. He quietly approached the doorway, and observed four rough looking men accosting the administrator. As he made his way back to Tran and R2, blaster fire erupted from behind him.

Juris, who was approaching the secure facility at this time, arrived just in time to see the men gun down the guards, and two begin making their way toward the back with the administrator. The two heading in to the back were halfway to the, now empty, safebox, when R2 and Tran opened fire. Taking his cue, Juris opened fire on the two still in the lobby. After a quick, but noisy, encounter the thieves were all dead. The crew had suffered a few injuries, but knew to get moving quickly before more security officers began to arrive.

Making their way through the Star of Morning, the crew encountered numerous security patrols that they were able to either sneak or talk their way past. Gand commed to say that the Imperials were looking for Dr. Kaylack, and that there wasn’t much time before they knew what was happening. As the crew attempted to call a turbolift to take them to the hangar bay level, they discovered that they had been locked down ship wide. R2 attempted to slice his way in and open the lift unsuccessfully, alerting security to his presence at the same time. The crew then tried to use a nearby stairwell, but found it blocked by two Imperial stormtroopers. When they were unable to talk their way past the troopers, the crew decided to try their luck with maintenance tunnels. Unfortunately, by this time the imperials had discovered who was responsible for the theft and firefight at the secure storage facility. They were spotted by a squad of Stormtroopers as they were inches away from a tunnel access point. Not wanting to engage the highly trained Imperials, the crew attempted to escape and cover their trail with a few grenades. Unfortunately, in the chaos, the accuracy of the grenade throws was sub-par. The stormtroopers were able to get off two devastating salvos before an accidental hit on the maintenance tunnel’s hatch terminal went critical causing a small explosion and providing the necessary distraction Juris and Verk needed to get their highly injured friends away.

When the crew arrived at their hangar they saw it guarded by two stormtroopers. Catching the troopers unprepared Tran injured one and the other was forced to grab his ally and drag him into the bay before returning fire. This, however, left them both exposed to Gand’s sniper rifle from atop the Noculent. he made quick work of the two troopers and ushered his friends aboard. He then blasted the ship out of the hangar, ensuring to keep the Star of Morning between the Noculent and the two Imperial cruisers, although six TIE fighters were in hot pursuit. As the Noculent was putting distance between itself and the Imps the comm crackled and the voice of Marek Quay greeted them and ordered them to stand down. The crew continued to flee of course, and with some excellent flying by Gand, some sharp shooting by Juris and Verk, was able to escape, albeit with some severe damage to the Noculent due to a few collisions with TIE fighters.

After jumping to hyperspace, the crew was able to lick it’s wounds and heal up a bit on the way back to Entralla. They also had a bit of time to get a better look at the device they had stolen. Juris and R2, working together, discovered that this might in fact be a prototype cloaking device small enough to fit on ships as small as a snub fighter. Something like this would be incredibly valuable. Upon arrival Begas Tok was overjoyed at the successful mission. True to his word, he wiped the rest of their debt clean, and in an uncharacteristic moment of generosity gave the crew an additional 20k credits. He encouraged the crew to repair their ship, and said if they were ever in need of work to come see him.

Now, the crew of the Noculent is free and clear, able to work for themselves, take whatever jobs they want, go wherever they want to go. And with a new ally, who proved he wasn’t entirely inept, they may be able to actually negotiate some good rates in the future.

Dear This Diary,

It has been a long time since this Gands last entry because of the hectic lifestyle of a findsmen. Most recently the Crew of the Noculent, has been contacted about work to find “lost treasures.” The twi’lek contact has directed the Crew of the Noculent to the Planet of the Nexu where the Ship of Lost Treasures is believed to have crashed. It is the job of the Crew of the Noculent to find the Ship of Lost Treasures and recover what the Crew of the Noculent can.

More importantly the Crew of the Noculant are traveling to the Planet of the Nexu. The nexu should be a grand prize that should compensate for the loss of the gundark because of the interference of the Empire during the Gundark Hunt. However this Gand worries because the Mists of Gand has shown this Gand that other Gand Findsmen may be on the Planet of the Nexu. The Planet of the Nexu should provide a challenging hunt, but with the addition of other Gand Findsmen it should make it interesting.

Besides the challenge of the other Gand Findsmen we have a new Pilot. He claims to be a “pilot”, even though this Gand has been more than capable in flying the Noculent. The New Pilot has also shown disrespect to the Mists of Gand, which have guided this Gand and the Crew of the Noculent for so long. The Mists of Gand will judge him in the end. If the New Pilot is worthy than it will reviled by the Mists of Gand.

Also this Gand’s new sniper rifle has proven to be effective, even though the Mechanic still has trouble installing modifications (I believe the Mechanic has betrayed this Gand with his new “friend” the New Pilot). A group of Rodian Hooligans attempted to steal a droid with the location of the ship of lost treasures. This Gand and the Bounty Hunter managed to make short work of the Rodian Hooligans. The Rodian Hooligans may attempt to interfere again, but this Gand doubts that the Rodian Hooligans will be much more than a nuisance.

XOXOXOXOXO
This Gand

This entire group can send themselves Coreward for all I care. How did I even get… no, not worth going down that path. I know exactly how I got here. The question is: what do I do now? I ‘m here on this jungle of a planet and we’re hunting… something. An old ship, or maybe the beasts on this planet. I honestly couldn’t care less.

I feel like I’ve been drifting ever since I left the Empire. And for someone that prides themselves on their ability to move in the direction they want to, drifting’s a bad thing. Very bad. I want to lash out at something. I want to get in something other than this rusted bucket of a transport and vape someone or something. I just want… direction.

I guess I’ve never had to find that for myself before. In the Academy, I knew where I was going: up. Faster and better than all the rest, that was me. Now? I’m a juddery holovid of my former self.

I need to pick a direction. I need to stabilize things and start flying.

I need to stop using flying metaphors all the time.

So next time this group goes haring off on their own, there’s no way I’m going to rot on the ship, no matter how ridiculous I think they are. They’re me crew now, one way or another.

-Lan Greyson

I found this while performing a routine diagnosis of B-Mo’s memory banks. It looks like he’s writing a screenplay of our adventures…

FADE IN:

EXT. JUNGLES OF CHOLGANNA – DAWN – ESTABLISHING

A valley cuts through the vast expanse of jungle canopy. The rising sun reflects off a large lake. Partially submerged is the remains of the Sa Nalaor, it hull obviously stripped of parts making it difficult to tell the extent of damage it sustained during the crash. The Noculent (YT-2400 series ship) sits in a clearing, close to the banks of the lake.

INT. THE NOCULENT – COCKPIT

A neatly groomed human, LAN GREYSON, sits in the pilot’s seat checking system sensors and scanner readings. Noticing a scuff on one of the screens, he quickly polishes it with the cuff of his shirt.

INT. THE NOCULENT – GAND’S QUARTERS

A jar of swirling gases sits on a shelf next to the bed. A slightly disheveled gand, GAND, peers intently into the jar, seemingly oblivious to all else around him.

INT. THE NOCULENT – LOUNGE

Weapons are sprawled out on the table in various stages of assembly. A shoddily armored human, VERK MESQEN, cleans and reassembles his small armory. Off to the side a black R2 droid, R2-Q5, takes inventory of an oddly large supply of water. A display reveals his true activity when it displays an outline of his plans to destroy someone named Sum Randeux and start a robot mafia.

INT. THE NOCULENT – TRAN’S QUARTERS

The room is in disarray. A small package can be seen protruding from under the bed, the letters “NIP” are visible on one side. A sleeping bothan, TRAN TEREEZ’SKRA, stirs as an alarm clock starts to ring. Tran sits up and fires his blaster at the alarm clock and falls back into slumber. The alarm clock clatters to the floor onto a pile of similarly destroyed alarm clocks.

INT. THE NOCULENT – MAIN ENGINEERING

Droid parts litter the floor. A tall, dark, and stunningly handsome human, JURIS VARGA, stands over a half assembled droid, tools in hand. Leaning against the doorway is a top-of-the-line battle droid, B-MO.

Juris pulls his hand back in quickly as sparks fly from the half assembled droid.

JURIS
Those nexu sure did a number on this old droid.

B-MO
Yeah, but we did quite a number on those nexu. (pause) I still don’t know why you decided to fix that old thing anyway.

JURIS
I felt bad for it. And I didn’t want to get rusty. It’s not like I can make you any better.

B-MO
You’ve got that right. You really perfected the craft when you made me.

The sound of a ship approaching interrupts the conversation. A console on the wall lights up and Lan’s voice is heard on the intercom.

LAN
(through the intercom) Hey Juris, another ship just showed up on the scanners.

JURIS
Yeah, we heard it approach. Do you have a visual?

LAN
(through the intercom) Looks like it’s landing nearby. How do you want to proceed?

JURIS
Let’s see what they want. Gand, take Verk and Tran and see if we can’t accommodate our new guests.

B-MO
Are you sure that’s a good idea. Those three aren’t really the diplomatic type.

JURIS
They’ll be fine. We can’t do everything on this ship. And if something goes wrong, we can go save the day.

B-MO
Like we always do.

JURIS
Like we always do.

EXT. THE NOCULENT – BOARDING RAMP – MINUTES LATER

Gand, Verk, and Tran walk down the boarding ramp, weapons holstered but at the ready. From across the clearing, 3 rodians and 2 trandoshans make their way to the Noculent. The lead rodian, YAV YIYAR, has scars slashed across his face. They stop about half-way between the two ships and take up position behind the few rocks and trees in the clearing.

YAV
Give us the IT droid and we’ll let you leave unharmed. We have you out gunned and outnumbered.

GAND
This Gand does not agree with that rodian’s claims.

VERK
Why should we listen to a bunch of ugly rodians anyway?

TRAN
Perhaps you’d better just get back on your ship and leave.

YAV

You are all fools. (to his companions) Kill them.

Blaster fire erupts from both sides. Tran and Verk dive for cover. Gand retreats to the top of the ramp and gets into a sniping position. Yav returns to his ship.

INT. THE NOCULENT – MAIN ENGINEERING

Juris and B-Mo are watching the fire fight on a monitor.

B-MO
Well, that escalated quickly. I knew we should have handled it.

JURIS
They did better than usual. At least they let them talk before just shooting them this time.

LAN
(through the intercom) Juris! They’re powering up their ship’s weapons!

GAND
(through the intercom) Those trandoshans have flanked that bothan and that human. That
human has taken a hit.

JURIS
Lan, get on the turret and return fire. Gand, hold on, we’re on our way.

B-MO
R2, hack their ship. See if you can’t do something about their shields.

R2-Q5
(through the intercom) Beep boop

EXT. THE NOCULENT – BOARDING RAMP

B-Mo and Juris come running down the ramp, firing their blasters at the enemy. They regroup with Verk and Tran under the ramp. Verk is wounded. Turret fire strikes the shielding of the Noculent causing blue waves of energy to ripple and the return fire does the same to the enemy ship.

JURIS
How are you holding up Verk?

VERK
I’ve had worse. (cringes)

JURIS
Don’t worry, we’ll get us out of this

B-MO
Juris, R2 just informed me that he almost has the shields down.

JURIS
Excellent. Gand, I noticed some faulty conduits on the other ship leading to their turret. Do you see what I’m talking about?

GAND
This gand sees it.

JURIS
On my mark, take the shot. B-Mo and I will handle the rest.

GAND
This gand will comply.

JURIS
You ready for this B-Mo?

B-MO
Always. Let’s do this.

B-Mo and Juris nod at each other and fist bump. A “beep boop” is heard over the coms and the shields over the enemy ship shimmer and go down.

JURIS
NOW!

B-Mo and Juris jump out from opposite sides of the boarding ramp. Gand fires his sniper rifle, hitting the conduit, causing the enemy turret to power down. Juris and B-Mo stand back to back and systematically take out each of the enemies on the battlefield. Yav and his remaining crew power up the ship and fly away. Everyone but Lan, who returns to the cockpit gathers at the boarding ramp.

TRAN
You two are amazing!

VERK
I don’t know what we would do if you two weren’t with us.

I can’t remember the last time I found myself at the helm of a turret, but I knew that I was in for a treat. As our “pilot” slowly shifted us in and out of poor positions, I knew that every shot I took had to be a good one. With a quick pull of the trigger and a slight smirk on my face I hosed down at least twenty tie fighters. Creating a safe passage for us to get to the junk planet. As we crash landed at our destination. I knew that I would be doing the talking. I kept the doctor and the old military guy calm. Simply by loosing my rifle from its shoulder harness. We met up with the Rodian and he was easy to win over. I knew I had exactly what he wanted, and he was very pleased.

As the doctor rambled on about boring robots, I saw an opportunity to snag some great ship parts from the Rodian’s scrap yard. The old kook didn’t know it but he was sitting on a gold mine. I gathered the scattered crew and we began searching for upgrades to our ship. As we were searching I could feel tiny little eyes watching our movement. I gave the area an ocular pat down and proceeded to not tell anyone of the impending danger. I didn’t want to scare the bunch as they weren’t exactly “combat ready”. Once the Jawa’s revealed themselves I quickly intervened. The shear sight of me kept them from killing us on the spot. Heck I was even able to snag a great trade with them. Once they calmed down of course. We gave them an old crusty glove for some great ship parts. At this point the crew moral was up and I was feeling pretty good.

Then my bounty hunter senses tingled and I saw it. A T400 Mega-Death Sky Bot. I hadn’t seen one in years, in fact I thought they have been discontinued since they were so effective at killing. I watched three of our six person crew wet themselves on the spot and knew that I had to act quickly. I pulled out my last frag grenade, kissed it as I pulled the pin (like always), and tossed that bad boy right into the T400’s weak spot. Or maybe that’s why they were discontinued…

Sometime after the chaos the crew of the noculent rests. Gand sits in cockpit of Gand and is in a deep meditation. He is startled awake by the sound of an incoming Holo Message. Gand switches on the communicater and an image of Gand appears.

Gand: Ah Gand, it has been too long.
Gand: Greetings Gand, I have received your messages that you have found a Gand that needs to be returned home.
Gand: Yes Gand, Gand and his ship Gand were lost in a jungle world. Luckily Gand and the Crew of the Noculent arrived in time to save him.
Gand: I see, but it looks like Gand is the one that needs saving. Where did Gand get those blaster wounds?
Gand: Gand thought that he could trust a particular individual, but humans are fickle friends. Would Gand have time to talk and hear Gand’s story?
Gand: Considering the time since Gand and Gand have talked it would be welcomed.
Gand: To begin, while resting after a long mission the crew of the Noculent met with mercenaries disguised as traders.
Gand: Gand assumes the mercenaries did not want to trade.
Gand: The only thing traded were baster bolts, but the mists where with the crew of the Noculent and the crew was able to easily dispatch the mercenaries.
Gand: That is fortunate for Gand.
Gand: Yes Gand, but at the same time the Mechanic had trapped himself in the Noculent and was under attack by yet more Mercenaries.
Gand: The Mechanic must either be brave or incompetent.
Gand: Yes, but luckly the Pilot had captured an airspeeder and we quickly made our way to save him.
Gand: Did the mechanic survive.
Gand: Yes, the Pilot and Gand were able to quickly dispatch his attackers, but the Mechanic in a panic shot Gand.
Gand: Was Gand wounded badly?
Gand: No, Gand was able to shrug off the attack and save the Mechanic. Afterwards Gand made sure to check on Gand and Gand to make sure that neither were damaged. Next the crew of the Noculent made their way deeper into the complex to help the crew of the Noculents employer.
Gand: As any good Gand team would do.
Gand: Exactly, these aliens have adapted well. Moving through the complex we encountered many more Mercenaries and dispatched of them all easily. One group in particular was a group of trandosen mercenaries that sought to blow up a group of scientists and medical droids.
Gand: Now Gand is just showing off.
Gand: Apologies Gand, Gand had gotten caught up in the movement, but to finish the story Gand and the Crew of the Noculent were able to save their employers along with others like Gand.
Gand: Well it is good to know Gand is well and awaits to hear of the return of Gand.

-Gand

Not quite the way I expected things to end, but I’ve got no complaints. Stacks of credits, the Imperials chasing their own tails, and a route set to Corellia. Not bad.

When we landed on the junk planet, I’d not expected we’d survive. Especially after the Rodians attacked. But our man was as good as his word and paid us handsomely. And when the Imperials attacked, we were all in. Everyone helped out, even the mechanic. Was actually worth losing the glove. We cleared guns, got targeting systems back online, and were able to make a break for it.

Even got a bit of a firefight once we broke atmo. Very nice. Nothing like flying in space to let you know who’s who. And I’ve got to admit, it felt good to test myself against the Imperials again. Not the same as being in a fighter, but it’ll do. I’ve always preferred flying to shooting anyway.

And now, Corellia, I suppose. I didn’t catch exactly why we’re going, but that’s alright by me. We’re rich, and I guess after all we’ve been through, I’m starting to consider these people my friends. Not a bad thing at all.

Maki Chandra: Good evening, I’m Maki Chandra…

Del Anin: And I’m Del Anin. This is Landru City Nightly News.

MC: Tonight’s top story… Teenage Massacre in Loading Bay 283! Six are dead after a firefight broke out earlier today in the warehouse district of Landru City. Five of deceased were only 18 years or younger. The entire confrontation was captured on one of the warehouse’s security cameras.

DA: I must warn you, the footage you are about to see is both graphic and violent. Viewer discretion is advised.

on the screen

A human looks away from the cargo being loaded and walks toward the edge of the screen blaster drawn. The camera angle changes to show 7 figures dive for cover as blaster fire streams toward them from off screen. The camera changes again. A gand raises his rifle and takes a shot, followed by a bothan and an armored figure raising their weapons and firing. The camera changes to a wider angle that shows the entire warehouse, just as one of the figures stands up from behind cover only to be shot in the chest. Blaster fire destroys the little cover there is and another of the figure’s shoulder explodes in a bloody mess as it’s hit by a slug-thrower. Another figure that looks like a twilek is pelted with more energy bolts and falls limp to the ground. The tallest figure makes a run for one of the cargo speeders and jumps into the driver’s seat. The remaining three figures return fire and make their way to the second cargo speeder trying to stay in cover. The taller figure starts to drive away but an energy bolt hits one of the front repulsors and the front of the speeder falls to the ground and sends the driver spilling out on to the ground. As he tries to stand, the armored figure raises his slug-thrower, and the tall figures head snaps back, gushing blood out the back of its head. The remaining three take off in the cargo speeder amid a shower of blaster fire. A human quickly runs after the speeder and manages to jump on the back of it, firing at the driver and passengers all the while. The driver is hit in the back of the head and slumps forward. As the speeder slows to a stop, one of the passengers is also shot and the remaining one takes off running, narrowly escaping being shot in the back. The aggressors run after in pursuit and the feed ends.

MC: We take you live to Jianna Tavers who is speaking to Theal Hedint, the father of one of the victims. Jianna?

Jianna Tavers: Mr Hedint, can you tell us about what happened today?

Theal Hedint is clearly in shock

Theal Hedint: Five… A group of five came to my door… The big one in armor… He had my Larna…

JT: Larna is your daughter?

TH: They came in and set her down on the table… my little girl… They kept asking me questions about her… said she had been shot… wanted to know about the youth program that she was involved with…

JT: The one run by Denal Kralsh?

TH: THEY KILLED MY LITTLE GIRL AND JUST GAVE ME A CREDIT CHIP FOR MY TROUBLE!!! I WANT THEM ALL DEAD!!!

Theal Hedint breaks down into angry sobs

JT: Mr. Hedint, we are truly sorry for your loss. Maki… Del… back to you.

Juris looks up from his data pad. From his hiding place he can see Verk and the others casing the monastery that serves as Denal Kralsh’s “youth program.” He looks up at B-M0, “Well… This could be trouble…”

It was dark, dangerous, and smelly. The perfect scenario for me to utilize my ninja abilities and navigate this hell hole quietly. My crew was following behind. Something was different though about them this time. It’s like they actually knew what they were doing now.

We found the medical corridor and I saw the doctor immediately. I knew she wouldn’t be a problem. After doing a quick ocular pat down of the rest of the corridor I noticed the two enemy guards sitting inside the guard bay. I knew we had to eliminate them quickly. I slipped around the side and had the “pilot” grab the doctor. Once he had her secured, I knew the guards would be suspicious and come out to take a look. They both emerged from their post simultaneously and my instincts kicked in. I grabbed my vibro knife and hurled it into the first guards chest. Before the other guard could act I had my hands around his neck, “nighty, night” I said as I snapped it like a twig. The pilot managed to keep the doctor under control and after the real work was done the nerds began to bicker. I didn’t want to get mixed up in the technical mumbo jumbo so I sat by and waited until they had reached an agreement. We decided to split up into two teams. I was on the assault squad and the other team was doing something else.

I guided the assault squad around making sure we wouldn’t get jumped. Unfortunately the other team wasn’t as sneaky. They alerted several guards on the way to do whatever it was they were doing. We caught the reinforcements with several bullets and made quick work of them. After that we headed up stairs to find out who was running this shit show. Once we got upstairs I could easily see that there were guards posted in both side corridors. I go big or go home and barged straight to the main door at the end of the hall. Took my boot and put it into the door swiftly swinging it open. There was a big dumb looking one standing right in the middle of the room. The tiny weird one and I put several rounds into him forcing him to retreat. I could hear the other two guard squads coming from behind us. I swung around and laid waste to several of them before ducking into cover. The other team had finally made it up to us at this point and helped to dispatch the remaining guards. Unfortunately the big one got away but we got his scent now.

Like I said before, this mission felt different with the crew. They weren’t as bad as they normally are, something has changed. Either they are getting better or I’m getting softer, but damnit I’m proud of them.

As I see the Mechanic Juris pursue the Gand and Smuggler, I figure no better time then to feed my addiction.

Sniiiiffff

Feeling more focused and energetic now. I haven’t been the same since I lost control of my life, feeling like a puppet, carrying out actions against my will. Either way it felt good to keep my mind off such things with any good “Nip” I could come across. Best part of it was that I sometimes hallucinated doves during blaster fights. I thought it was odd at first but began to love it.

As we come around the corner we find both the Gand and Smuggler both lying on the ground. We can see the Smuggler still breathing but we weren’t sure how to tell if the Gand was alive or not. Choosing to Stim we did discover he wasn’t dead….but slightly aroused…

We step back and discover that they were caught in a trap that triggered. The R2 unit scans for other traps and similar traps are up ahead. We have to yell at the gungho mechanic to stop before he triggers it. After the traps disabled we continue down this long winding hallway and eventually end up at a sealed door. R2 does his work unlocks the door. We slowly open the door and its pitch black, except for the light coming out from the door on the other side of the room.

As blaster firing starts coming we spot a speeder take off towards an opening hanger door. To stay in pursuit of the target, or be douches I’m not sure, but the Mechanic and Lan jump on a speeder and take off after him. Didn’t really bother me too much since it was just 4 guys for me and R2 to take care of. We exchange fire and we’re both taking hits. R2 drops and as he does 2 of the 4 guys take off on a land speeder out the door. I slide behind R2 and pep myself up. sniiifff lucky for me I keep a stash in a compartment attached to my scope….doves appear and the guys are down. Must of been me that did it.

The Mechanic and Lan come back with 2 speeders and with Krawlus. They began to explain what happened but their voices were all warped. An obvious effect of whatever I had in my scope…I couldn’t even remember anymore.

We discover that Baron Kaldo was putting up funds and for deliveries to Centerpoint. The smuggler doesn’t know more then that. We cut him loose in good faith…he seemed geniune. Krawlus was next on our agenda. The bastard tries to commit suicide with some poison he had stashed in a fake tooth…he wasn’t very helpful. So we ended up just tossing him into “Lightning Alley” and activating the traps, so he was stuck there. We started to hear some people talking so we just jumped on those speeders and took off…Thank god cause I need to call my dealer now that we got some more coin coming our way

For once, The Noculent was quiet. No lasers fired across its bow, no imperial ships on its tail, no droid assassins, child soldiers, cybernetic nexu, ‘roid raging beefcakes, nothing.
R2-Q5, the plucky, precocious astromech sat in the corner defragging his hard drive. Or whatever it is droids do when they turn off. The rest of the crew sat around the table, discussing their future employment prospects.
“The mists have shown This Gand nothing regarding the future of This Crew of The Noculent.” Gand said, shrugging his Gandy shoulders. Verk took a long drag from his deathstick. Juris perked up
“Well, there’s a droid expo on my home planet. We could find a ton of cool stuff there. Show ‘em BMO!" BMO’s face-screen switched to a DROIDCON poster. Tran didn’t look up from the yarn ball he was lazily passing between his hands.
“Hard pass- too core for my liking.” Verk stood up from the table, pulling the last leg of his deathstick into his lungs as the room watched him in silence. He exhaled a thick cloud as he pushed the butt into the table. He ran a finger along the faded burn mark under his left ear
“You want to know how I got these scars?” His voice was heavy and dark, he took a moment to regard his peers.
“Are you getting sick, Verk? Your voice sounds weird. Here, I have some meds.” Juris said, offering his friend a pill. Verk just stared at him. After a moment Juris quietly put the pill back into his pack. R2 beeped to life and joined the rest of the crew at the table.
Verk pulled out his datapad and showed the crew a woman’s image, telling them the story of how she and her two sisters literally shot him in the back. He then took them to his quarters to show them the detailed web of pictures and letters connected by red yarn assembled on the wall opposite his bed.
“01010100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01110011 01100101 01100101 01101101 01110011 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100010 01101001 01110100 00100000 01100101 01111000 01100011 01100101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01110110 01100101 00101110”
beeped R2. No one bothered to check his datapad to see what he said. As usual. Verk plucked a printout of one of the transmissions they recovered on their previous mission.
“I don’t know what she’s up to, but she’s got ties to those psychos that reprogrammed those kids at the monastery. And the way these ladies operate, all three of them are going to beinvolved at the deepest levels of this thing. If we bring them down, this whole perverse operation is going down with them.”

For the first time, the crew was under no pressure. They could take their time to set up surveillance on the woman. R2, Tran, and Verk set out to find a smuggler Rom told them about named Pluvo Two-for-One. He was a slimy bastard, but he was willing and able to secure a Data Breaker for them. When they met up with Juris and Gand, they were struggling to break into a car. R2 pushed the pair aside and easily popped open the driver’s side door.
" 01010111 01100001 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110010 01100100 00111111"
Unfortunately, Juris and Gand had spent so long working on the door that it attracted unwanted attention from the authorities.
“Hail, citizens! What seems to be the trouble?” The crew looked back at each other, sure they were screwed, until Juris stepped out from under the hood of the car
“Ah, well, you see, officer, uh- the motivator’s got a bad trans-fulcrum, so we’re trying to see if we can reroute the lug-belt through the gul-lag. But then I noticed that the spin belt’s got a frayed edge, so I’m trying to solder it in place with the-”
“Uh, well. As long as you aren’t doing anything you’re not supposed to.” The guards exchanged confused looks. “Just make sure it’s not on the curb too long”
“Oh, no officer. I’ll have it up in the air in no time. Hey, do you think you could give me a hand with the-”
“Oh, wow, look at the time, got to get back to our beat!”

The crew piled into the stolen car and took off for the business district to scope out the woman’s office. Fortunately, they were able to spot her and pinpoint which office was hers. Unfortunately, they caused an accident in the process. Gand escalated a minor fender-bender into a hit-and-run by high-tailing out of traffic and dumping the vehicle in an alleyway, where R2 sprayed it down to make sure they didn’t leave any evidence of their presence.
The group set up camp in an open construction site directly across from the woman’s office. They spent all day observing her to learn her habits and learn more about her position within the company. After she left for home, they noticed that she met up with a personal security detail just outside of her office before heading home. R2 and Tran met back up with Pluvo for their goods- but noticed that they were at a severe markup. R2 blew up at the man, stating that he wouldn’t even pay half of what he was asking for. Pluvo was offended, but Tran was able to smooth over his ruffled feathers and secure the goods for slightly less than the asking price, but now the crew owes a ‘favor’ to the unctuous businessman.
With their new equipment, the crew set up at an anonymous computer terminal to mine for the woman’s personal information. However, they were tailed by another woman and some mercs. The firefight was brief but brutal. Everyone took heavy injuries and woman was able to escape into the crowd- but the crew is still alive, and have all of the information on their quarry they could possibly need.

The sound of Espo sirens could be heard in the distance, and the crew knew they had mere seconds to disappear. Turning a corner to a nearby alley Verk ran head first into an Espo, but his lightning reflexes kicked in and he had knocked the Espo cold before the man could even reach for his truncheon.

Deciding to be insane (as per usual) Lan, Tran, and R2 headed for the Espo’s patrol speeder. R2 was able to gain access to the vehicle, but in his haste alerted the Espos to their presence. Never one to be called hasty, Lan jumped in and revved the engine just long enough for Tran to get in before sending the craft screaming around and buzzing the crowd of police. The Espos spotted R2 making his way back toward the ally where the others hid and opened fire. Somehow all of the shots fired by the Espo squad soared over the little droid’s dome and he safely made it to his friends. Juris, ever vigilant, spotted a nearby parking structure and pointed it out as a good place to “acquire” a ride.

After hot-wiring a new speeder, the crew reconvened, ditched the Espo vehicle (after taking two ion grenades) and made their way toward Elia Artes’ residential complex. With Lan at the controls, the speeder put down quietly on the roof of her building giving Verk, Gand, Juris, and R2 a direct shot at the roof-top access lift. Lan, along with Tran, stayed with the getaway vehicle to safeguard their escape route.

As the smaller group (Team Kidnap) made their way to the lift door they saw a security droid standing guard, but incredibly just as they were devising a plan, the distinctive sound of a failing motivator could be heard. When they turned back , the droid was a smoking pile of machine parts. Juris, unable to resist the siren’s call of disabled droids, told the others he would be here dismantling this droid, if they needed him.

Verk, Gand, and R2 were totally surprised that Juris would abandon them now, because that was never something that had ever happened due to a broken droid before. Ever. In all the time they had known him. It was unprecedented. Like Ever.

R2 made quick work of the door and the trio quietly entered the building. R2 suggested a maintenance room or corridor where he could gain access to a hard-line would be the best way to tap into the building’s security system. He quickly cut away a portion of the wall to expose the cabling, while Verk called for Juris to come do something useful for once. Jeez.

After Juris deigned to give his allies access, and returned to his incredibly important job of taking a droid’s leg off, R2 went to work. His first task was adjusting the programming of the security droids guarding Artes’ suite. He easily made the droids think they were standing in front of suite 8321, instead of 8221. They then corrected this error by moving to the floor below and taking up station outside of the suite of Sum Randeau, but probably a different Sum Randeau, cause that’s totally a common name.

Next R2, tampered with the camera feeds on the two floors, 82 and 81, to display the feeds for floors 81 and 80 respectively. It was very complicated and in the process he noticed some droids being sent to check on the situation, but he got it all fixed in time so the path to Artes’ apartment was clear and he even tricked the investigating droids into thinking they were in the right place despite being on the wrong floor.

Verk and Gand made their way to suite 8221 to deal with Elia Artes. R2 unlocked the door for them and they silently entered. To their surprise they discovered her asleep on the sofa. Gand moving toward her, heard the sound of servomotors whirring from the next room and told Verk to watch the door. He then lifted her and made his way back out of the apartment. As he crossed the threshhold, the side door opened revealing two large security droids, Verk instantly reacted by throwing one of the ion grenades…right past the two droids and into the room behind them. After the quick exchange of fire, two smoking droids lay behind as Verk and Gand ran for the turbolift with Elia Artes in tow.

Meanwhile, Juris kept taking the droid apart piece-by-piece and placing the parts into the speeder’s open trunk.

Bored of watching Juris and his toys, Lan and Tran started scoping out the areas nearby, and spotted Artes’ bodyguards setup on a nearby roof with their airspeeders. Around this time, Verk cut in on the commlink, with a request for an expedited departure time, due to gunfighting in the residential building in the middle of the night. It wasn’t his fault though. Really. Lan, with a stroke of inspiration, lifted the speeder off, moved to the next building over and dropped off Tran with the intent of harrying the bodyguards. Unfortunately in the dangerous maneuver, all of the parts Juris had collected flew out of the still open trunk compartment. Lan quickly flew back and awaited Team Kidnap.

Tran managed to kill two of the guards while his friends loaded the unconscious woman into the speeder. Lan again attempted his wild maneuver, this time with Gand hanging out the open door in an attempt to snatch Tran from the roof mid-flight. He missed and Lan had to adjust quickly. Luckily, he was able to set up Tran with a straight shot into the waiting vehicle, and Verk with a straight shot at one of the two remaining guards. As the closest man’s head exploded, covering the last guard with grey matter, the lone survivor decided to take a few moments to think about his life-choices and decided to take up a new profession. Like baking, or maybe get a job with that incredible Renaissance Custodian he’d heard so much about.

After a bit of fancy flying, the crew was finally in the clear and headed back to the Noculent to get off-world. Lan headed straight for the cockpit and got her up as quickly as possible. The others took a few moments to rest, while Verk tied Elia Artes to a seat. He searched her for tracking devices and found none, but he did discover a small bump at the back of her neck. He pointed it out to Gand who had no idea what it might be. Then the ship, that had been making hard to escape the atmosphere came to a sudden stop.

Gand raced to the cockpit, looked out the viewport and saw a Victory-class Star Destroyer. He turned to Lan, and asked what ship it was. Lan said it was the Valiant and it had ordered him to stop the ship…so he did. Gand wasn’t a fan of this idea, and encouraged him to Punch It! So he did, pushing the Noculent beyond what most pilots could get. Unfortunately, they still had 90 seconds to jump out of system. 90 seconds full of a Star Destroyer and 24 TIE fighters. The combined piloting efforts of Lan and Gand managed to miraculously keep them alive. The evasive maneuvers they employed gave Tran and Verk time to vape almost a full squadron of TIEs. The evasive action also managed to get the TIEs to catch each other in the crossfire more than once. Despite the fancy flying and hot shooting a single devastating turbolaser blast from the Valiant nearly blew a whole through the Noculent.

As Lan and Gand wondered whether they would be able to escape, the flickering of pseudomotion from ahead revealed two new ships reverting to realspace. An Imperial Star Destroyer and an Interdictor cruiser. The Interdictor’s presence along with the four squadrons of TIEs inbound made the two pilots blanche in fear. Then the shaking of the Noculent made their stomachs plummet even further as they realized the Valiant had them in it’s tractor beams. The familiar voice of Marek Quay came over the comm and calmly asked them to cease hostilities or be destroyed.

When the ship came to rest in the destroyer’s hangar bay, their comm told them they had two minutes to exit the freighter before the squads of stormtroopers massed just outside would force the issue. Gand, Tran, R2, and Juris took a minute to hide as much of their precious goods as they could. Lan walked directly to the boarding ramp and lowered it. Verk took as much time as he could to stim Elia Artes awake. He asked if she was Lady j and was working with the Empire. In her groggy condition, she confirmed her identity by not denying it, but stated that she would never work with the Empire. Verk then hearing the stormtroopers coming up the ramp asked his last question, “Where are your sisters?!” She looked up and said, “Chandrila.” Then the troopers were there. They escorted Verk and lifted the still groggy Artes down to the deck where more troopers were waiting, along with Marek Quay and the red-haired woman who had escaped from the gunfight at the computer cafe the night before.

Once everyone is before him Quay starts to speak, “I’m so glad you could join us. As you know, we’ve been playing this game for some time, and you’ve led me on quite the merry chase.” He motioned to the red-haired woman at his side. “Luckily, Agent Jace here spotted you and alerted me to your presence.” He then looked directly at Lan. “Ah, good to see you again Lt. Greyson. We have much to discuss.” At that Lan moved to a crisp attention and saluted. Quay then turned to the Stormtrooper commander and said, “Take the others to the Detention Center. I’ll have many questions for them in the days ahead.”

All of you, except Lan, were then escorted out of the hangar and to the Detention center to await your fate…
