[center][b]Chained Despair
Polith System, approaching Thyferra[/b][/center]

Andrea walked into the cockpit section of the ship, standing behind her disciple, Nyriss, who was piloting the vessel as they entered the Polith system and made their approach to Thyferra. "So we have finally arrived, about time." She muttered to herself, "Use the contact information we have received..." She turned to the others of her disciples and inner circle who entered and stayed near the entrance. Her face contorting in a mask of suspicion and perhaps a hint of some worry. "And see if this is some kind of elaborate trap we are about to fall into."

As Andrea's vessel approached her sensors would inform there was a fair degree of traffic taking place in the system, especially around the world of Thyferra, what was surprising was that it was evident a large number of Republic marked vessels were there, as well as a equal number of ships belonging to the CIS and neither side were firing upon each other. Both sides needing the Bacta they acquire from the world they were orbiting to be delivered all across known space to supply to various hospitals and battlegrounds. It actually seemed both sides were also watching each other as droid fighters and republic fighter squadrons patrolled and guarded their various vessels.

Eventually after some time of broadcasting the signal on the frequency given it was answered with a simple text message that read the following: 'Lady Andrea so nice of you to come, please dock with my vessel and we can discuss the matter at hand.' The signal originating from a ordinary looking merchant bulk transport.

Frowning she rose her eyebrows upon reading the message and the read it out loud, turning to her people. "Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like a trap?" She received a series of head-shakes in the negative. "Thought as much... Nyriss, approach the transport and dock as requested. Rhak-Skuri, Karsk. You force protection or shield belt active you two will be the first to go in with myself to see what we might face." Her disciple and black-watch commander nodded.

The three of them were waiting at the airlock as Chained Despair docked with the transport, as the hatch opened and saw the interior on the other side of the other ship she took a deep breath and willed the force to form a protective bubble around herself, sensing Rhak-Skuri doing the same, while Karsk had his hand hovered over the controls of his shield belt. Nodding to them both she went first, followed closely by the two others as the three of them stepped into the transport.

Upon entering they were beholden to the sight of a cargo bay area of some kind, several cargo containers stacked together on either side of the airlock, between them and right in front of Andrea stood a lone figure, dressed in rather expensive looking clothes, as the figure approached she could see that this was a Squib of all species. The small stature alien smoothing his hands over his clothes and tried to appear taller than he was, a hand going over the fur on his head as if preening himself and then bowed. "Lady Andrea a pleasure to meet you, my name is Janeeiusnar-Korjakk, you may call me Jan for short."

She looked stunned and rather surprised at the... short... furry... Syndicate contact? Of all the things to expect a... Squib... was not among them. She shook of her surprised and crossed her arms. "Well... you know who I am, I now know who you are." She narrowed her eyes. "And you contacted me saying you were in the service of Zann, who last I recall would like nothing more than to have me killed. So why would one of his people want me to help out, hmm?"

At that Jan laughed, with good humour apparently, then he coughed and calmed down. "Ah yes, I suppose that would seem strange, but not to worry, not to worry. I can understand you might seem skeptical but I am thinking of opportunities here and hope you see the same. Yes you may consider my esteemed and wonderful employer might rather see your severed head on a platter but I see the bigger picture you see!" He said excitingly pointing at the ceiling to punctuate his words. "I consider the following, I wish to impress my employer, so I came here to acquire a great amount of Bacta Zann can use for himself or sell on the black market, there's always a demand for Bacta, especially in times of war. Now I sadly hit a snag that apparently someone informed the local dealers about my appearance and affiliations with the Syndicate so nobody would sell to me but then I had a ingenious idea!" He pointed at Andrea with a grin. "I thought of you! You could perhaps acquire the bacta in my place, in whatever way you wish as long as you can guarantee I can retrieve it. I get the Bacta, I pay you a nice reward for your trouble, I also inform my employer that you are not as bad as he thinks and even helped him get a tidy profit from selling Bacta and in turn I am rewarded for my service with a more prestigious position... as well as a bigger paycheck, of course. A fine proposal, don't you agree, yes? Oh please say yes, we have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose, pretty please? With a, as you humans sometimes say, cherry on top?"

She frowned as she listened to this irritating fuzzball, this sounded.... too good to be true. She closed her eyes as if lost in thought as if mulling this 'proposal' over, but in reality she reached out with the force to see if she could detect any hint of duplicity, lies or any kind of bad vibe from the Squib.

All Andrea could detect was a myriad of feelings from the Squib, too chaotic to get a definite reading and as she opened her eyes she would see a big smile on Jan's face and his head quickly nodding up and down in eagerness. "What do you say?"

She sighed and pinched her nose, "I suppose, against my better judgment, say yes, give me the details."

"Oh happy day! Thank you! You'll see this will earn us both a nice profitable outcome!" The next hour Jan explained the details, he had on good information that a human trader in Bacta, named Kevin Stahn, had a warehouse stocked with the medical wonder cure, ready to have it shipped out to a buyer in the Republic. He suggests to threaten, blackmail or otherwise convince Kevin Stahn to have the bacta be transported to this Syndicate vessel and in return Andrea would be handsomely rewarded with credits and perhaps even come into the good graces of notorious crimelord Antone Zann. Jan had already taken the liberty to set up a meeting with the Bacta trader on Andrea's behalf and all she had to do was show up and do her best to get this deal done.

When she heard that this little runt had already set up a meeting she hissed and showed her displeasure, "I do not like it when people make arrangement in my name without my prior knowledge or approval, I have executed people for less grievous offenses so keep that in mind if after this you might wish to continue dealing with me." She growled and then snorted. "Very well, I shall meet with this Mr. Stahn and see if he can be convinced to part with his precious bacta." With that she snapped her fingers and with her people returned to her ship.

They left Jan behind on his ship who was waving excitingly at their retreating back, grinning and merry as he shouted after them. "Good luck! I have faith in your persuasive abilities! I shall wait in eager anticipation!"

As the airlock sealed and locked itself behind her Andrea rolled her eyes and groaned, "What a insufferable little creature!" She rubbed her temples she had a headache due to irritating voice and too happy attitude of the Syndicate man. She gestured to Karsk who stepped forward, "Inform Nyriss to land the ship on Thyferra and then we head out to be on time for 'my' appointment with that bacta dealer." The grizzled veteran nodded and went on his way.

Rhak-Skuri coughed and spoke up, "What is the plan... mistress."

Andrea raised a eyebrow, snorting at the way her oldest disciple said that last word with such disdain but ignored the remark. "I will head to the meeting with my Zeltron aides I brought along, as well as Talon. She as a Twi'lek can appear, like the Zeltrons, to be eye-candy instead of my bodyguard. I will attend the meeting and see what might transpire, I already have some thoughts floating around in my head that could be used as arguments... it sadly all depends on the attitude of the dealer which can be completely unpredictable. Hell for all I know instead of a human its a floating brain in a jar than read my mind and sense I am a sith without any way to hide it." She shrugged. "I'll see when I get into the office."

With that said she decided it might be best not to show up in armour and instead went with some of her more luxurious looking clothing she had with her while Nyriss piloted the ship to the surface and landed, finding Talon and her Zeltron aides ready for her she smiled and nodded to them before looking at those that would be left behind. "You will all remain with the ship, no exploring and stand ready to perhaps... forcefully extract us if things go sour."

"Do you expect that to happen?" Came a reply of Trizz who was tossing and catching a knife in the air.

"I almost expect this bacta trader to have somehow have connections up high with both the Republic and the CIS which might mean that if I cross him both factions will hunt me down."

There was silence after those words and then Trizz just shrugged and nodded slowly. "Right... well at least life will be interesting that way." Most of the others just groaned or rolled their eyes in response to that.

Surface of Thyferra,
Outside the offices of Kevin Stahn....
_________________

As the small party approaches and is welcomed into the building that housed several delegations and offices of some of the major bacta suppliers Andrea and Talon would both notice the presence of several small hovering droids recording everyone who entered the building, as well as the number of security droids that were silent watchers and guardians of the traders, two such droids were intently following the new party of Andrea as they crossed the threshold.

"Welcome, how can I be of assistance?" Came the voice of a feminine droid who instead of legs had a single wheel that enabled it to quickly move around as she approached the newcomers. "Do you wish to make a appointment or do you already have one?"

Andrea looked around, paying minor attention to the security, if everything went smoothly they wouldn't have any trouble with whatever security they had in place here. She turned to the droid and smiled, "Yes, in fact I have one. With Kevin Stahn."

The droid cocked her head and was silent for a moment before she nodded and made a u-turn with her wheel and gestured to follow. "So you have, allow me to take you to his office, this way please." The droid led the sith lord and her small retinue through a hallway, stopping in front of one of the offices on that floor and let out a series of vocal sounds no organic being could make. The reply was the door opening and she gestured in. "You are expected, may your business here be profitable to all. Good day." And she drove away, back to the entry hall of the building.

From within came a cultured sounding voice. "Do come in, I hate drafts." As they entered they would see a middle-aged man with white hair sitting behind a desk who nodded to them while he placed his signature on some documents along with his thumbprint before filing them away. Silver eyes with gold irises studied Andrea intently as he gestured to the empty seats in front of his desk. "Refreshments?" He asked as he reached for a decanter that seemed to be filled by something blue with green.

She put on her friendliest smile that she was capable off and walked in, closely followed by her aides and Talon, taking place on the offered seats and lightly shook her head. "Not for myself thank you, my aides are free to partake. If your offer includes them as well. A pleasure to meet you, I have heard much about you before coming here, my name is Andrieke, pleasure to make your acquaintance."

The trader nodded and poured some glasses presenting in front of the aides and then a fourth in front of Andrea if she decided to change her mind. "Kevin Stahn, at your service. Now what is...." He trailed off, frowning as he looked at Andrea's face as if it was familiar to him and he was trying to remember. He shook his head and smiled, "My apologies, I was distracted for a moment, where was I? Ah yes, how can I be of service to you? I am afraid I have no further information besides that we have an appointment at this time and place, but no further details as to discuss what, rather strange I must say though I suspect you wish to obtain some large quantities of Bacta otherwise you would not speak to one such as myself." He finished saying with a wry chuckle.

Her thoughts were running wild, had she met this man before? Did he knew her from somewhere? That was impossible wasn't? She kept her smile however and nodded, "Yes I am, I have under good authority you have a supply at hand, isn't that correct?"

He frowned and leaned back in his chair, bringing his hands together, looking quizzical. "You are well informed a large batch of Bacta is all ready to be shipped out but I am afraid that batch is already spoken for, I can however arrange for a similar amount to be ready for sale in six months, we have orders that need to be delivered upon from the Republic, CIS and other private buyers to handle first." He chuckled and shrugged apologetically. "There is a war going on after all and Bacta is in very high demand during times as these."

"Yes I am aware of the war, but I'd really like that shipment, I represent some people who desperately need it and I was hoping that you could perhaps be persuaded to change your mind and have the shipment to the Republic be delayed and give this batch of Bacta to the ones I represent." She said, still smiling.

Kevin frowned deeper. "I'm not sure what you are expecting of me? Delay a shipment... also how did you know it was going to the Republic? I never said as such." He narrowed his eyes. "You aren't some kind of CIS representative trying to give a edge to your side of the war are you? I must stress that Thyferra and it's Bacta trade are neutral in this conflict. Both sides need our Bacta and we do not tolerate any interference in our dealings from either side..." Again he trailed off and shook his head. "My apologies... you really do have a familiar face, have we met before?"

She almost cursed out loud, making such a simple mistake! She of course knew where the Bacta was going thanks to that irritating squib but obviously which sides buys what shipment isn't meant to be public knowledge. And where did this man knew her from!? She had never met any Bacta dealers before, that she could recall anyway. Her smile faltered a little and she shook her head. "Oh no, no. I represent some private buyers who purely need it for themselves and are not involved with either side of these horrid 'clone wars' as they call it. I was merely hoping that some deal could be arranged, are you sure there aren't any options available?" Perhaps she needed to risk using a small suggestion or nudge with the force to get what she wanted from this man. But for now she was hoping to find a hint if he could be bribed or otherwise persuaded. "As for us meeting before, I think I would have remembered that, I am sad to say that we have not met each other before today." She winked and grinned.

He shook his head in response. "I am very sorry to you but as I said if you wish a large shipment like that then I am afraid you must wait just like everyone else. Six months, though if I make some inquiries I could potentially make it five months and that is pushing things...." His eyes widened and he suddenly stood up from his desk and he pointed directly at Andrea. "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" He shouted.

She must have had a deer in headlights look on her face for a moment before she tried to calm down her breathing, know who she was? How!? She had never met this person before in her life, but she was not going to draw her lightsaber or hurl lightning around and she prayed to whatever infernal divine beings were out there that Talon kept her cool. Thankfully it seemed that she was taking her cues from Andrea as discussed and did not decided to reveal her saber from hiding and cut this man in two. Still trying to remain calm she kept smiling. "You.... do? And who am I exactly?" She placed her hands in her lap, slowly building up the power to unleash her lightning if he was about to call security or something.

Kevin Stahn was still staring wide-eyed at Andrea and his pointed finger was shaking. "You are the star of Hutts in Love! I watched the old series and have seen the first episode of the reboot! And you are now here!? In my office! Your holo-soap drama is one of the most watched series of all time at the moment!" The man sounded positively thrilled at having a celebrity in his office.

Andrea blinked.... and resisted the urge to groan and facepalm. Really? Was this something to worry about for all time now? That damned soap opera drama would haunt her for the rest of her life? First Azazels pet Hakkri and now this guy!? Then again on the other hand this might be her way in, so she quickly made a hushing gesture and spoke up. "Please! Not so loud, I am incognito here, do you know how hard it is to travel around without being hassled all the time?"

The dealer looked bashful and coughed, sitting back down, perhaps a bit ashamed and embarrassed of his reaction. "Ah yes. Of course, my apologies miss. It was just... unexpected." He blinked, "I actually thought you were somewhere in hutt space now, shooting the next episodes, at least according to the tabloids." He coughed and looked away for a moment. "If you read such materials of course." He rubbed his neck and tried to return to his professional self once more. "Still, why would you need so much Bacta? You are a star in a soap and not in the service of a private hospital or similar."

She was thinking quickly and then smiled wide at a idea, leaning in and whispered. "Can you be trusted with a secret Kevin? If I may call you Kevin of course."

"Oh of course you may, of course... uhm if you wish for privacy this office is soundproofed, you do not need to whisper." He said, perhaps a little bit flustered.

She grinned, "Well you see... I am probably going to spoiler a few of the future episodes with what I am about to tell you so keep it to yourself at all costs." She took a deep breath and acted as if she was nervous and fidgeting for a moment. "You see there is going to be a arc this season where it turns out that my big rival, you know, Anega the Huttspawn, has a daughter who wants to ruin my name, what is even a bigger reveal is that she is in fact a force user! A hutt jedi of all things!" She said with wonder and was not going to be surprised if those silly producers and script writers weren't going to really have something like that. "One of the producers actually managed to obtain one of those genuine swords of theirs, you know a lightsword or lightblade, whatever they are called. But to use that the insurance people demanded that safety was guaranteed because one slip-up and the paperwork would be a horror to behold. That and there is a speeder chase scene or two and the stunt crew want some proper medical aid on standby so they figured that perhaps a large stockpile of bacta in reserve might be for the best when we start shooting the episodes. And with everyone busy I had offered to see if I could get some shipment of bacta."

She bit her lip and blushed, looking away for a moment and then stood up, circling around the desk to stand right in front of Kevin and reached out to caress his cheek, letting out a purr and wink. "So.... I am now wondering... since you figured out who I am... if you really cannot be persuaded to give me that bacta so we can continue the shooting of those episodes on schedule...." She leaned in and licked over his neck to his ear and murmured. "I would most certainly.... love... to make it worth your while..."

Kevin coughed and shifted in his seat, looking at Andrea, he was sweating and quickly reached for his glass and took a large gulp of the nectar to cool his nerves, his eyes roving over her body. "I.... I see... well... I suppose I could... tell the republic that unfortunately their shipment has to be delayed because the batch is contaminated or some such..."

She purred again and smirked, "You could? Oh how wonderful Kevin!"

He nodded eagerly. "Yes, just tell me where it needs to go and I will have it arranged."

Still smirking she snapped her fingers and Talon produced the datapad with the details about that annoying squib's transport vessel. "If you could have it shipped to that transport currently in orbit I would be so pleased... in fact. If you make it happen now..." She grinned and turned to her aides and Talon. "You can leave us, return to the shuttle and inform the others I will be in later today... Kevin here, is going to take me out for dinner... and discover together what happens after dinner." She licked her lips while her two aides giggled and stood up, followed by Talon who only made to leave after a meaningful look from her mistress. Once they left she turned to Kevin again, "So... want to see how nimble I really am...?"

_________________
Considerable time later.
On approach to Syndicate Transport....
_________________

Andrea was humming to herself, it had been a good time... Kevin was good, it wasn't mind-blowing or anything but he left her well satisfied. She had ignored the looks from her people when she had finally returned to the Chained Despair and had at once ordered to lift off and head to the Syndicate transport and have this business settled. She looked up at the intercom when Nyriss's voice came and informed them all that they were about to dock with the transport again and she looked to Rhak-Skuri and Karsk. "Same deal as before, protective measures up and ready for any hint of betrayal, I still don't trust that little fuzzball or anyone linked to Zann." She looked at Trizz, Talon and the Sun Guard. "You all stay here and ready to come in if there is even any hint of a double-cross."

They all nodded in response except Trizz who raised her hand. "How do we know you need our help?"

Andrea snorted and rolled her eyes. "When you hear angry shouting, screams and sounds of blasters being fired, that is your cue. Now lets get this over with." She had put her armour back on and readied a bubble of protection just in case as she stepped back on the transport, Karsk and Rhak-Skuri in tow.

It was the same scene as before for the most part but this time Jan stood in front of a large canister that had various symbols on it in a variety of languages, all meaning the same thing: 'Medical Supplies, Bacta.' He clapped his hands together and smiled as Andrea and her people approached and bowed. "You managed it! I knew you would! Well done, well done indeed, the Syndicate, myself and Zann owe you thanks for the profits you will give us once we sell this on the black market! Oh yes!"

She snorted in response and crossed her arms. "I don't care, I am expecting to be paid, I did what you wanted now give me my credits." She narrowed her eyes. "And don't forget you also would put in a good word for me to Zann, so I wouldn't have to worry about him trying to have my killed any more."

Rhak-Skuri widened her eyes and drew her lightsaber igniting it at the same time and let out a hiss. "We are betrayed! I sense several people waiting in ambush!"

Andrea blinked and growled and turned to Jan. "What is the meaning of this you little runt!" She shouted, making sure her people would hear her agitation and charge in.

Jan smiled. "Ah yes... about that. There has been a change of plans." With the grinding of gears the airlock sealed shut behind Andrea, Rhak Skuri and Karsk. Only Talon had time to get through, preventing the others from coming in at the same time the scrambling of feet were heard and on top of the containers on either side of group came a gathering of humans, rodians, weequay and nikto with blasters trained on the foursome below. Jan was still smiling and chuckled to himself, "This is definitely my day, with this bacta I would already be in favour with the boss but once I hand over your corpse he will be really pleased with me! You have no idea how annoyed he was when that slime of a hutt put you under his 'protection'. Jabba can't save you now."

She growled and lashed out with lightning at the filthy rodent. "And nobody can save you!"

The lightning went right towards Jan... and made him flicker, revealing Jan to be a hologram, still smirking the Squib bowed. "Oh... I am so sorry, don't worry I am nearby but I am not that stupid... right enough talk, kill them and lets get out of here." With that he vanished and the men on top of the containers made ready to fire.

But because the Togruta sith had sensed the ambush Andrea and her people were ready and managed to use their reflexes and training to dodge the initial wave of blasterfire.

Enraged at this betrayal, even if it was expected but to have been fooled by a squib of all things! She would find that rodent and rip him apart! Almost in syn with Rhak-Skuri she took the left while her disciple took the right and they both unleashed a force storm from their hands towards the Syndicate thugs, hoping to see them burn alive with dark side lightning. Karsk just got out his blaster rifle and started firing at the thugs while Darth Talon made a attempt to jump on top of the containers and get within slicing and dicing distance with her saber.

The lightning storms came but did not hit any of their intended targets, in fact the arcs of lightning spoiled Karsk's aim and he was unable to get a shot off, at the same time Talon decided not to jump because she had no interest in jumping into the path of the lightning.

Disoriented and perhaps a little bit unsettled by the madwomen throwing lightning around from their fingertips the thugs continued to fire and some hit Andrea, her bubble of force protection soaking up the shots and protecting her from harm.

She roared in outrage and attempted to do it again, "Rhak-Skuri! Together on those fools on the left! You two deal with the others!" She shouted and combined her force storm with Rhak-Skuri, unleashing it towards the thugs on the left while Talon and Karsk would deal with the thugs on the right.

They had not expected the sith to do that trick twice in a row it seems and before they could step out of view five out of six thugs on the left container screamed out as the lightning coursed through them and fried them alive, screaming in pain and agony they shuddered as the storm hit them full on, when they finally stopped screaming they just fell over, their bodies still smoking.

On the other side Karsk was laying down covering fire while Talon made the jump with a fierce cry she managed to make it, landing right in front of one of the Syndicate thugs who stared open-mouthed, no sentient being, least of all a Twi'lek should be able to jump that high! Was his last though before Talon's blade cut him in half.

The lone survivor on the left container, shaken but not out of the fight, turned his blaster at Andre and fired, not believing what he saw when his shot punched through her armour and scored a grievous blow. The shot burning through her flesh and through her lung.

The others were in disarray with one of the sith suddenly on top of the container with them and were shooting wildly at her, with some shots missing her while the others were deflected away with her saber.

She coughed and reeled, blinking as she suddenly felt numb and looked down at her chest... seeing a rather big hole in her chest plate. "Oh frell me..." She muttered, coughing up some blood and went through her knees and then fell over. Coughing and wheezing as she placed her hand on the wound and tried to focus, use her rage, her despair, her fear to gather the dark side energies to heal herself.

Rhak-SKuri saw this and tried not to smile, was that bitch Andrea going to die here!? She could only hope but right now, even though she would love to blast lightning at the body of her 'mistress' she could not do it now, these Syndicate fools were trying to kill her too and Talon was still there... the loyalties of that Karsk were also in question. She reached out with the force in a attempt to grab hold of the single thug still up there, raise him up to the ceiling of the cargo bay... and then just let him drop to the ground to see if the fall would kill him.

Karsk saw his employer fall but ignored it, he was a trained warrior and would stop to investigate once all hostiles were dead as he resumed firing.

Talon saw the one she had sworn to protect fall to the ground and let out a scream of despair and loss, fearing her mistress, her sole purpose of existence was dead she turned to the thugs on top of the container. Raising her blade to let the crimson light cast a eerie glow on her face she let out a warcry and charged with the intent to dismember and kill...

Rhak Skuri thought she had the last thug but instead one of the corpses started to levitate up in the air, Karsk was still not hitting anything but Talon was clearly channeling her rage into something productive cleaving one of the thugs in half as if it was nothing.

At the same time lightning coursed over Andrea's body from her hand, the energies she was conjuring pouring into her lethal wound, repairing damages done to her lungs and internal organs. Her lung was not filling up with blood anymore and she gasped, gasping for air and coughing, but otherwise whole once more.

The Syndicate thugs had not trained for any of this, fighting force users and lightning, cutting people in half force users at that. The survivors dropped their weapons and started to beg for mercy.

Talon would have none of it and with a shriek of rage she cut down two other thugs and moved to another. "No mercy! Only death!" She shouted.

"Stop." She froze, her blade inches from the neck of another of the thugs as she looked below, seeing her mistress, alive and slowly standing up she backed away. Andrea took a deep breath, closing her eyes, feeling a shudder down her spine. So she was still capable of cheating death, good. She exhaled and opened her eyes. "Right then...." She looked at the surviving thugs. "First... one of you will open that airlock and let me people aboard... second... you will bring me before that coward of a Squib, do all that and I might decide to let you all continue your sorry existence." To emphasize her point she let lightning dance around her fingertips, her eyes completely turned crimson with gold from all the dark side energies she had summoned in this short encounter.

They did as commanded, one opening the airlock, letting Andrea's people in, the Sun Guard storming in with Trizz and Nyriss hot on their heels, they secured all but one of the thugs, that one brought Andrea, Talon and Rhak Skuri before a rather less confident looking Jan who seemed rather afraid upon seeing the still breathing Andrea before him. "Ah... uhm... you passed the test. He... hehe.... you are not falling for it I take it." He gulped and nervously looked for a way to escape, seeing that was not possible he knew he had lost but he could still bargain for his life. "Don't kill me! I can still pay you for the bacta!"

Andrea snorted, crossing her arms. "As if there was any doubt of that... transfer the credits to my account... with a bonus or I will flay you alive you miserable excuse of a life." She growled and stared with utter hatred and disgust at the Squib.

He made a eep sound and quickly hurried to a console, with Andrea watching over his shoulder she could see that he quickly transferred the credits, a very nice sum at that, to her account, the confirmation of which came in shortly afterwards that the money had indeed be transferred with success. "There, all good, yes? So... we all have a good laugh and we go our separate ways and live happily ever after?" He said, sounding hopeful.

"Not exactly..." Before the cowardly little creature could escape she placed both her hands around his head and unleashed sith lightning directly into his skull and liquefied his pathetic little brain. Not stopping till his eyes popped and she finally let go to let the corpse drop unceremoniously on the ground and turned to the thug who had brought her to him. "So... with him dead, it falls to you to return this transport to the Syndicate and I suppose get yourself a nice reward, enjoy."

The thug just looked at the corpse, pale as a sheet.

"Atta boy." She said, patting his head before she walked away, humming happily.

Rounding her people up she returned to the Chained Despair in a very good mood. "Well that wasn't so bad in the end." She said mostly to herself while Nyriss went back to the cockpit. "Earned some credits, was able to let loose of some anger issues after... after my conversation with Azazel." Her shoulders slumped a little after saying that but she let out a grunt and shook her head. "Time to continue, Nyriss, set a course for Dagobah. I have a dark side cave to explore..."
