"This isn't a good idea."

ZD-6R barely looked up at the sound of Strakisssh's voice. "You should have said something three minutes ago when we were done placing the charges. The informant told us he was last seen in this area therefor targeting this particular operation is a sound strategy. Besides, you said yourself you do not enjoy spice and would gladly like to see the trafficking of it cease."

The Trandoshan shrugged his shoulders after a moment. I still think we should have gotten more data before we placed the charges. All we know is that he's in the building with at least two body guards. At least that is what we will face if the informant spoke the truth. We have two minutes left, it's time to take cover."

The two mercenaries ran to the side of a building and Strakisssh watched the countdown continue. ZD's eyes suddenly flashed after a moment. "Intercepting communications signals from inside the facility...oh dear."

The lizard man slowly turned to look at the droid. "What? What's wrong?"

"Some sort of energy field was just activated from inside the facility. All explosives are now non-functional. Detecting life-forms approaching from all directions. I believe we have been betrayed." The two mercenaries looked up to see a very disheartening sight: heavily armed men and women of all species had their weapons trained on them. A hearty laugh echoed from above them.

"I hear everything in this sector. You really thought I would be caught off guard by a lizard and a tin-can?!" A man wearing red and silver stormtrooper armor appeared. But it wasn't that individual that caught ZD's attention, it was a mercenary wielding a massive blaster rifle strapped across her back that stood at his side.

"Target identified." ZD said in what could only be described as an enraged tone.

En Route to Nar Shaddaa

"Were you able to gather any more information on our target?" Strakisssh asked the droid as he checked his weapons that he had gathered before leaving Paradise. It never hurt to be prepared. ZD-6R's optical sensors flashed once as he retrieved the information he had gathered before leaving Paradise. "I was able to gather a small amount of relevant information: Apparently our target left the Empire shortly after the Battle of Endor which in itself is not surprising. What is surprising is how quickly he made a name for himself. From what information I have, he has gathered a number of mercenaries and smugglers and computer experts into an organization that he seems to be in charge of. He appears to be spreading his influence throughout the criminal underworld."

The Trandoshan paused at ZD's words. "I'm surprised the Hutts haven't dealt with him. From what I understand, they don't react well when upstarts try to muscle in on their operations." The Droid paused for a moment. "It does seem somewhat odd now that I think about it. Perhaps he doesn't have as much influence as he thinks he does."

The sight of Nar Shaddaa began to fill the view ports and both Strakisssh and ZD both checked their primary weaponry and made sure their blasters were fully charged as the shuttle began to head for a docking bay. "Remember: We need to take the target alive." ZD-6R told him in what could be construed as a stern voice. The Trandoshan nodded in agreement. "You said most of the sightings have been in the Red Sector?" The lizard man asked the droid.

"Correct. The last sighting was two days ago in the seventy third residential block of the Red Sector. Accounts state he and a small number of mercenaries were seen fighting with a local gang who were forced to retreat."

"Do you have a plan to draw him out?"

ZD's optical sensors turned blue for a moment. "I always have a plan. Despite our target being a former Imperial general he was known to be overconfident while serving in the Empire. What we need to do is attack his sense of pride."

"And how do you plan to accomplish that...?"

The droid turned to look at the Trandoshan.

"We need to attack something or someone close to him. I suggest we start by either attacking a number of his operations or territory."

The lizard like alien sighed heavily. "I'm going to be the bait again, aren't I?"

Duking shook his head and sighed heavily. "Looks like we need to get the word out to see if we can find out who's leading Team Rocket these days and try to find out who's in charge of Cipher as well. If we're lucky, maybe these two groups will take each other out. If we're really unlucky, It's possible that one of the two groups will take the other out and absorb their members and grow even larger. At this point, I don't know what's worse, from what you told me, Team Rocket is already almost as bad as Cipher, if they win and absorb the members of Cipher, we'll be in trouble, especially if they get their hands on a Snag Machine. If Cipher wins and absorbs the members of Team Rocket, we'll be facing an even larger and more dangerous version of the Cipher we know and hate."

Daniel shook her head. "I'm sorry that the news is bad, but I felt I had to warn you all. I came here to warn everyone about Team Rocket but I'm willing offer my help if you need help taking down both Cipher and Team Rocket." Duking nodded. "We'll take any help we can get." He rose to his feet and extended his hand towards Daniel.

"Welcome to Orre."

As Daniel shook his hand, the door to his home slid open and a younger man wearing a grey over shirt and shorts ran in. "Duking! I think we might have a problem." The young man gave Daniel a look over with a suspicious eye before turning back to Duking. "That big body-builder, Donovan just left town in a hurry. He said something about leaving Orre. I've never seen terror like that on someone's face before." Silva was almost out of breath. Duking swore angrily. "This isn't good. Donovan was one of the folks who helped us seal off The Under, one of Cipher's old hideouts."

Duking swore again. "I don't know what's going on now, but I think it's a safe bet that either Team Rocket or Cipher just got info on how to get into the Under. I don't know what either team may want down there but whatever it is most likely won't be good for us."

@Chev Sorry I took so long. Had a small amount of drama over PM's that distracted me.

Would you rather keep control of them during the interaction or do you want me to take control?

@Raddum

You can take control.

Outskirts of Pyrite Town

The two figures watching Shawn and the Bodybuilder couldn't help but admire Shawn's persistence. He had been pressuring the bodybuilder for information on how to get into the Under for around ten minutes now. Despite not wearing the uniforms that Cipher traditionally gave their goons, the arrogance of the two of them let them stand out in a crowd. "I'll take care of this." The female said to the taller male as she sauntered forward towards Shawn and the Bodybuilder. A few moments later, she was apparently suddenly interested in the graffiti on one of the buildings. She wasn't close enough to intervene but she could overhear part of the conversation between the two.

"- don't want Cipher going after me!"

"Cipher won't know. Besides, you have Pokemon to look after you. Now, tell me where the entrance to the Under is, or would you like me to start talking to that deputy about who grabbed a few items from the Pyrite Super Grand hotel a few days back?" The Bodybuilder sighed heavily and glanced from side to side to make sure no one was listening. "Listen, the main entrances have been sealed, but there are two ways in: One is outside Pyrite, in the desert. Look for a huge red rock south of the entrance of Pyrite town, there's a small hatch and ladder under it. It should lead you down next to where the main elevator entrance used to be. The second entrance is in the old abandoned Shadow Pokemon lab. It takes a LOT longer to get there since the train isn't running, but there are a few pathways that should let you in. Now get lost."

Shawn smiled lazily at the Bodybuilder and headed back to his house. He had to pick up a few items. The Bodybuilder shook his head but his eyes widened in fear as he saw a woman smiling a rather vicious smile at him before making a shushing motion. "You have one day to leave Pyrite, and three days to get out of Orre. Welcome to Cipher's target list." She said softly as she turned away and headed back to her male companion. "Let's go. We need to talk to the Boss." She said in a soft voice.
