(D1 LM) Another Big Break - Group I

[Baesal Zyn]

Baes knew to full power of lekkus all too well. She helped Moyr like she knew she could but otherwise listened carefully.

[Aris N'ventas]

"It's another one of their projects. A type of weapon, which would be useful for whoever gets their hands on it." He shrugged and leaned back with his own drink in hand. "I have a buyer lined up from the Sith Empire. And before you ask, I like to keep client confidentiality."

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"What are the other details? Who's your agent, and which facility do you and they need to access?"

[Jo'ren Rath]

The big Sith listened and nodded when Aris explained his job. "I have no problem with any of that." He kept a neutral expression as he looked at the others while awaiting the response to Hala's question.

[Aris N'ventas]

"They're other slicers under my employ. I will handling logistics and not be on the field. As you are probably aware, I have three teams in mind. One will be monitoring communications, the other will handle security doors and power, and the last one will retrieve the data itself." Aris leaned back and sipped from his drink. "Oh, and the facility is in space and I will not be disclosing its location until the job is finalized."

[Baesal Zyn]

Baes whistled

''What will those in the inside need to do?'' she asked with interest ''I can support or replace your slicer if anything happens''

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"Will all three teams be in the facility at the same time? Are any reconnaissance passes required, or have you handled all the intel?"

[Aris N'ventas]

"Another slicer wasn't in the plan but I suppose it's good insurance. And I need my main slicer to get into their databases and rip all the files. Meanwhile, the other two make sure it goes smoothly."

Aris looked over to Hala. "I have some intelligence but another recon move might help. Bit of a risk, though. I don't want them to see us coming."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Either way, we're good at dismantling security systems, even in improvised effort." The masked Sith looked at Baes.

[Jo'ren Rath]

"And at the security side of things. We'll keep your people safe, no problem." That was the thing he was confident and doing at least. The stealthy hacking stuff was not his thing, but the rest? That was doable.

[Aris N'ventas]

"That's what I like to hear! All of it!" Aris let out a hearty laugh. "You know how these things go. You can make the perfect plan but something will always go wrong. And that is where improvisation comes in."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Can we assume then the insider's job is ours, Mr N'ventas?"

[Aris N'ventas]

"It's a bit early to make promises. I want to see what every group can do before I make the final call." Aris shrugged. "But I'll note your interest down."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"But Mr N'ventas, such manoeuvring is unbecoming. You're presented with the best for the best, and you muddle about? You've told us enough for us to figure out what it is and where it is on our own. We don't want to go to the competition or the Czerka, but in case you haven't had extensive business relations with the Sith, we don't enjoy misdirecting treatment. So if you hope to get this job truly done, you'll make the decision now, and will also give us an advance for our dedication, and a premium once the job is completed."

4 Successes, 5 Advantages, 1 Triumph

[Aris N'ventas]

Aris sat in silence for a few moments as he thought on it. "I like your moxie!" he eventually announced. "I like the way you say 'Mr. N'ventas' too!" He got to his feet and took a pistol from one of his men. "First, I want her to have a blaster! How is she supposed to be the best if she doesn't have one!" The slicer placed it down in front of Hala and flopped back onto the couch. "And I can give you, what, 200 Credits each?"

"Boss, you said no advances, no-"

"Well things change! And we can work out a premium once I figure out how much I can sell the data for." He finished the rest of his drink and then his mood slowly started to drop. "Just don't go telling everyone about the advance or the premium, alright?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Our lips shall be sealed, Mr N'ventas. We understand that deals like this require strict confidentiality." The Wraith nodded, smirking under the mask. "It's a pleasure to do business with you. Make your arrangements, and we shall prepare, awaiting your word." The lekku of Agent Mekalekku had been instrumental in providing distraction again.

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"It will be a pleasure to be working with you Mr. N'ventas, I hope this will be the start of a mutually beneficial association," she said with an appreciative nod, crossing her hands in her lap while not making an overt move towards the pistol.

"And you know business, you never give out the rate you give favored partners lest you be forced to negotiate from that point onwards elsewhere."

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Hey, my lips are sealed." Jo'ren was pretty impressed by Moyr's negotiating skills. He would say so later. A 200 credit advance wasn't bad at all, and he was confident this team could pull off whatever job the guy had in mind.

[Baesal Zyn]

''What?'' she asked innocently

''I forgot already!''

[Moyr Ahaya]

"As you see, Mr N'ventas, we're the perfect business partners." Moyr chuckled under her mask. "And since I also have respect for your business acumen, I'd have a question: perchance, would you know a sword collector here in Nar Shaddaa who would be interested in purchasing a rare blade?"

[Aris N'ventas]

Aris pushed forward enough credits chips to be divided by the group. "Good. I'll let you tomorrow night. And a rare blade? Hm, well, I know Evangeline enjoys decorating her house with art pieces. I'm not sure if a 'rare blade' would qualify. Zios Thran might have some idea on a buyer but he usually does more wholesale weapon selling."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Thank you." The masked Sith nodded. "I believe we're done here for today then?"
