Adoniram was unflinching as Dronas offered his hollow threat. Once Dronas sat back down Adoniram gave half a chuckle before saying "I'd hardly call working one job for molech being 'on his payroll'." When Braedug moved past him Adoniram turned to let him by. "I think that once you realize that this mission has a little bit more money involved in it than you're worth, you might start to realize how much trust Molech is putting into you. I think that once that happens, we'll all get along just fine. until then you really do need to sober up. I won't let you on the boat until I see that you're not going to be a danger to this operation." Adoniram shoved the remaining shot glasses over so that the liquid spilled out, then turned and headed for the door to go meet up with Braedug. "Cry about it if you want, it won't change anything."

Braedug moved around Adoniram without a word. Times like these reminded him why he liked to work alone. Of course, he could always just leave cloud city by himself; he had no obligation to work for Molech now that his debt was fulfilled. He even had enough credits to last him quite some times. As Braedug thought it over, the more appealing the idea of jumping ship came to be.

Braedug's train of thought was derailed by a blow to the back of his head. Braedug stumbled to his knees, and looked up to see the two bounty hunters who had followed him last night.

Dronas laughed. The man certainly had balls and he liked that. As Braedug stood Dronas was about to finish the last shot before Adoniram knocked it over. He wanted to get one last word in before he shut up and became professional. Then something came to him.

"How could you know I'd only done one job? If you were high up enough to know who did jobs for Molech and what the jobs are you wouldn't be overseeing this?"

Then he stood again and went to leave.

"Also when it's your ship or your body then you can decide who gets on the ship."

There was suddenly a sound from the doorway that Dronas was all too familiar with. Drawing his vibrosword so as to avoid shooting up a place he ran to the door. Two bounty hunters were standing over Braedug, guns drawn and clearly ready to hurt him a lot more. He was clutching his head and was in no position too fight off two of them. Dronas moved in to attack the bounty hunters.

Adoniram was about to respond to Dronas when he noticed Breadug get whacked. He looked at the scene for a moment before he noticed two bounty hunters and then, before he could React Dronas launched himself into the fray. Adoniram slowly made his way over to the unfolding fight, his gun drawn and aimed at one of the hunters. Hopefully Dronas would keep his attention on the opposite one. "Ten seconds." Was all that came out of Adoniram's mouth. The hunters wouldn't be able to tell what he was thinking through his mask but deep down Adoniram had no problem shooting up the cantina, and with what he stood to win from this job he had no problem killing both of the men in front of him without a second thought.

And with the action brewing the Devaronian security quickly responded with six armed bouncers surrounding the scene, even Drea had a blaster pistol that she seemingly produced from thin air. The DJ stopped the music and the place fell awkwardly silent, except for Drea.

"Alright enough, blasters down you two, and the rest of you keep your trigger fingers at bay or its coming out of your pay," she said pointing her blaster at the two. "You two scum have ten seconds to get the hell out of here or I'll make you realize the Hutt's dungeons are a pleasant place, and if I catch you two sniffing around this place or my buisness associates, I'll make you suffer." The two hunters out gunned and out matched, took the Devaronian female's advice and decided to high-tail it before they lost their more than they were willing to sacrifice. Drea turned to three mercenaries.

"Alright boys, my employers are growing tired of this small talk, are you in or out?" She said still holding the blaster.

Braedug shifted his position so he he was sitting on the ground. His head was still throbbing from the blow, but the hunter who had struck him clearly wasn't very competent, or Braedug wouldn't be conscious. Braedug raised a hand to Drae's question, and simply sat there for a moment. When he had caught his breath, Braedug spoke.

"Well I can't turn down such an offer after that show, can I? Have the cargo delivered tonight, and I, I mean we, will be leaving by morning,"

Dronas nodded. The sooner he could get this job done the sooner he could be another system away. Sliding the blade back into it's sheath he offered a hand to Braedug as he spoke.

"I couldn't possibly turn down an offer that you're making. I'm definitely in. If Braedug here doesn't mind I think I'm going to get my gear and find room on his ship"

"Good" Adoniram said as he gracelessly shoved his blaster away into it's holster. "I was starting to worry that you might not have the nerve." He finished, turning to look at Breadug. "I've got a bag to bring with me, I'll need to grab it from my apartment before we depart, where is your ship docked?" he asked gruffly.

Braedug stood a bit unsteadily on his feet, but he stayed up. He nodded a thank you to both of his partners.

"Thanks for the assist. Glad to know you're willing to shoot up a bar whenever someone gives the slightest trouble." Braedug laughed. "Meet me at my ship in a couple hours to set up shop."

Braedug leaned in to whisper to Dronas, "I'll leave the ramp closed. The pass code will be 'Let me in you damned ugly fool!'"

Braedug then repeated the same information to Adoniram in a similar fashion.

Having a few hours would do Dronas some good. Making his way out of the cantina he took a taxi to a small back alley shop on level 160. The man who run it was an old friend called Gorgash. He was an ex imperial stormtrooper who had managed to escape the Empire and was making some money selling upgraded military surplus gear, not all of it gained legally. Dronas was there to buy a small messenger, he still didn't trust Adoniram and meant to buy two so as to give one to Braedug, he also no longer trusted Drea. The attack in the cantina was worrying, the credits should have cleared by now so if the Hutts were still after them then their bounties weren't being paid. After handing over a 50 credit chip he got two small transmitters. They could only send small messages however he knew they would be untampered and nobody would be monitoring them. He spent the next few hours in the store catching up with Gorgash before he went to the ship. Finally the time came and he made his ay to the landing platform. The ship looked just as rough as it had been earlier when he had been. As he reached the ramp he pressed a small button on the control panel.

"Braedug, Let me in you damned ugly fool"

Dronas hoped he had arrived at the ship before Adoniram so he could have a quick word with Braedug.

Braedug lowered the ramp for his companion. He beckoned for Dronas to follow him further into the ship, to the main hold, where he had set up a table and some chairs. On the table was a bottle of Devil's Drink and some fruit in a bowl. It was modest, but it served a purpose.

"Welcome back to my giant flying metal home! Our other friend isn't here yet, but we've got time. Hope you brought blankets, because I don't have any extra,"

Dronas and Braedug both cleared out of the bar, leaving Adoniram alone for a moment. He looked at his left wrist and checked to ensure that his rope-dart was loaded before heading out. Over the next two hours he ate a meal, gathered some things from his apartment, and tampered with his helmet to no avail. After that he decided he may as well show up on the docks. He hailed a taxi from his apartment and tossed a brown traveling bag into the taxi next to him and gave instruction to the cabby as to where to take him. Adoniram arrived at the dock within thirty minutes, paid the driver and got out with his back over his shoulder. As he approached the ship he realized that he didn't remember the password Braedug had given him. "For the love of..." He mumbled to himself as he approached and knocked on the ramp. "It's Adoniram and I don't remember your bloody password just open up."

Braedug sauntered over to the panel outside the entrance ramp, and was about to hit the button to open it, when an idea struck him. He instead jabbed the intercom button with a mischievous smile.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you in. How can I know it's really you? I mean, you humans all sound the same to me,"

Adoniram let out a sigh. "Are we really going to do this or can we just be professional?" he asked with an annoyed tone to his voice. "Would you like me to walk to the cantina and bother Drae about the password or do you want to avoid wasting her time with such a thing?"

Braedug laughed slightly, but composed himself before hitting the intercom button again.

"I am being professional. If you can't remember a seven word pass phrase, can you remember the twenty digit code to a locked ship you're trying to steal? How about the name of officials that take bribes? Or the prices of certain goods, so you don't get screwed out of a deal? If you're going to be smuggling, you have to do more than shoot people for money."

And with that final remark, Braedug jabbed the button, and opened the ramp. He spoke to Adoniram, this time face-to-face.

"Next time, remember the damn code. If you, or Dronas, shows up without saying the right thing, I'll assume you've been compromised, and leave without you."

Dronas had been about to talk to Braedug about the communicator and the incedent earlier that day when Adoniram had showed up. Dronas decided that as his cue to begin stowing his stuff in one of the rooms. Looking around the ship he quickly got his bearings and chose the largest room that wasn't Braedug's. He had forgotten to get any sheets however the room would be warm enough and if he desperately needed some he was sure he could buy a cheap set somewhere along the way. Having unpacked his meager belongings in just over 5 minutes he checked his weapons once more. He made sure that everything he needed was on his person, credits, blaster and vibrosword. He wasn't going to leave any of that in his room until he had had time to set up some sort of security. He still didn't trust Adoniram and although Braedug seemed honest he had doubts all the same. Walking into the largest 'social' room of the ship he sat himself down and began playing with his vibrosword. Braedug still hadn't come back from the ramp.

"Let's get this show on the road ladies. I want to get this job done as soon as possible so I can actually earn some cash and not earn my debts off."

He stopped and thought for a second. He was going to have to sit in the same ship as Adoniram for quite a while now.

"And Adoniram friend, no hard feelings for earlier, just don't question my professionalism. I'm all for a laugh but when it gets down to business I know how to act, you don't have to treat me like a child. Lets try and get on, alright?"

Braedug entered into the main cabin, and looked at Dronas.

"I don't like repeating myself, so here's the short version: know what you're doing, pay attention, and listen to me from time to time. Make yourselves at home anyways. Alcohol, food, all that,"

Braedug plopped himself down on a chair and poured three glasses of Devil's drink. He raised his glass.

"A toast, to profits, lying, and Molech, our gracious employer!"

Adoniram didn't respond to Braedug when he lectured him and instead followed him into the ship with his bag hung over his shoulder. He looked around and listened to what Dronas said and then saw Braedug pour the shots. Instead of partaking in the drinking he simply said "Not right now." and turned to the open hallway where he found his room. A small one, not much longer than the bed rested against the wall and not much wider than Adoniram's arm length. It was just enough room for him to stretch out and it had a little table for him to use but aside from that it was pretty barren. He set his bag down under the bed and came back out still clad in his armor to find Dronas and Breadug where they were moments before. Not stopping to think about whether or not he may have been interrupting a conversation he looked at Dronas and asked "Did Drae tell you where we'd be going?"

Dronas chuckled when Braedug had poured out the drink and raised his glass as well touching it gently with Braedug's to make a CLINK. In response Adoniram's question Dronas thought for a moment, at least he is being civil now? Was his firth thought however when actually thinking about the question he shook his head.

"I never got told, doesn't bother me though. Th coordinates will be in Braedug's head."

Dronas gestured to their third man.

"Or on his navcomputer, in any case we will know it before we set off. Never did care much anyways, I can handle most anything that should try to interupt us. And as a small crew and ship we shouldn't even be bothered by most authorities or pirates, just th serious ones will get in our way, and then I think we can trust Braedug's flying to get us out of trouble."

Braedug nodded in greeting when Adoniram re-entered the room. Braedug took his time finishing his drink, listening to his crew mates talk. When he finished the glass, he set it down once more, and looked up to speak to the duo.

"We're still waiting for Drae's men to actually bring the cargo. I thought they'd have arrived by the time you two got here, and we could be off, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Looks like it's just a waiting game now. Either of you up for a hand of Liar's cut? Just for fun,"
