The moment Phasma, Aladar and Highsinger arrived in Taris the human immediately regretted her decision to even come on this mission. She felt… alone and uncharacteristically anxious. What was going on? Was it the planet? The rancid smells of this dump's streets? The people? She couldn't figure it out. All she could think about was Raveem. The moment his face crossed her mind she began to piece together what was going on. Phasma felt like a child who had been abruptly separated from their parents. That sense of comfort and security was gone, replaced by a series of emotions she hadn't felt in a long time. Regardless, she did her best to keep her composure. 

The moment they arrived at the brothel she found it harder and harder to keep herself from smashing someone's skull open. That little bit of restraint she had managed to work up on the way here was gone the moment she saw the depravity of this world. She was angry and sickened by what she was seeing. This place was filled with hopeless drunks, depressing drug addicts, disgusting slavers and their victims. Raveem had once told her that slavery was a necessary evil, but she never agreed with him. Going back to that moment, he seemed happy that she disagreed with him. She never understood why that was the case. Though, at one point she gave up in her attempt to understand what was inside the Bothan's head. 

Earlier, one of the server girls had brought over a drink. She despised alcohol and refused to drink it, but did so anyway to keep up appearances. Taking a bit, she immediately regretted it. It tasted terribly sweet and it burned her throat as it came down her esophagus. She just wanted to get out of here. That is when Aladar leaned in and outlined their plan. A gang war? Phasma tried not to seem confused, but whatever had popped up in Miryia's disciple was probably the best of all the other options. It sounded chaotic, but she would make do. Wouldn't be the first time Phasma was caught in the middle of a crossfire. 

"About time." She whispered back. "I'll follow your lead." 
And take you out if I have to... Highsinger and Aladar were two people… well, and droid, who she had only met a few hours ago. While Raveem seemed to trust them, she certainly didn't. For now though, she was going to stick to the plan and follow Aladar's lead.
