Star wars: The End of an Era

Ok. I should be back on a lot more now that everything has settled down.

Everyone who has not posted please do, let's get going :3

LWSC SIRIUS

We finished our collab :D

LWSC SIRIUS

Terith raised his hands into the air. His eyes slowly moved in before he took in the form of the man pointing a gun at his head before realzing that if anything happened his life would be taken in the ensuing gun fight. His hands waved off a group of thugs that had crept up behind Anora and Viva, their guns slowly lowered before they returned to their booths. "No need for guns, friend."

"Pardon me if i don't take you at your word. Ladies." He motioned with his hands for the two to leave the bar behind them. Once Ardur noticed the duo leaving the bar behind him he began to move backwards towards the exit himself. His gun was constantly aimed at the head of the crime lord up until he himself reached the corner of the doorway. Quickly turning, he bolted from the bar and towards the two women. Quickly catching them in no time at all, Ardur looked at the two as he ran and asked "What the fuck was going on in there?" Anger was evident in his voice. "I expect you to explain yourself." Pointing towards Anora.

"I did a job for that man, i was going in to get paid!" Anora spoke as her right index finger moved around. Soon she came upon an option, simply named Eyes, to hack into the local security feeds to which she pressed down on. In the top middle of her screen lines of programming codes began to appear. These codes were apart of a program she had designed that could crack into most security feeds, though some took time. Lines upon lines of code appeared before being buried by the next code until a image, though at first blurry, appeared in the top center of her screen. Four men were highlighted as being associates of Terith following close behind. "Shit we're being followed."

Ardur quickly looked behind him before speaking "I don't see anyone."

"Trust me they're there." Anora spoke. Her right hand's pointer finger quickly moved to another option, aptly named Escape Route Program. This was a simple program but it had saved her life more times than she could count. It, when combined with Eyes, could quickly map out a quick route that avoided all contact with hostile parties. She quickly pressed down. After a second a map appeared in the top right of her screen. It was just a normal map at first, showing the quickest route to the ship but not the safest.

"Avoid all contact with agents of Terith." She spoke. The map showed a few different paths before a flashing green light in the bottom left of her vision let her know that the safest route was found. "Follow me if you fancy your lives." She spoke as she cut a hard right down a side street. They would follow the map closely, a left turn through a crowded market district and a right turn down a narrow, long and winding maintenance tunnel before they finally arrived in the docking bay.

"Anora." Ardur spoke as he placed his hand on the holster for his pistol. "I do not notice any C-Sec agents here." No sooner did he speak it did a pistol shot sing out in the empty bay. A second was quickly followed as Ardur quickly drew his own pistol and returned fire. "Get to the ship you two, now!." Ardur spoke as he moved backwards towards the ship firing off shots as he moved. A TV screen near them sprung to life as the face of Terith appeared on the screen.

"Come now, Anora." Terith spoke as a slight chuckle escaped his lips. "I always get what i-" He was cut short as a series of sparks erupted from the screen as a shot from Ardur's pistol slammed into the screen, cutting the feed mid sentence.

Anora quickly grabbed the arm of Viva, running as she did, and spoke. "Follow me!"

LWSC SIRIUS

"Act casual?" Anora said as she pushed the pilot off of her lap; causing her to crash down to the floor below. "It's too late for that, love." She scolded as her right hand reached up, grasping around the edges of her Eclipses.

Anora knew all too well the dangers of their precarious situation. Terith was an intergalactic crime lord she had been associated with before her joining up with the SIRIUS. He always had a job for her, mostly smuggling contraband onto a council world, and it always paid well. Yet she had never really joined his crime network, preferring to work on her own versus for someone else. That did not stop the man from trying his best to make his position of authority known. Often he would try and handicap her progress, be it with a well timed tip to the authorities or a group of bandits sent to stop her in her tracks. But thanks to her Eclipses, and their ability to find the funds used in these distractions, she was never once slowed. She had come to meet him today for payment for a job she had recently completed. Anora knew he had lost a sizable fortune in the process of this particular job, a few ships and all their men, and she was already on edge without the distraction of Viva.2

"No, no, my dear." Terith spoke up as his right hand moved across his chest, parting his coat in the process, which revealed a pistol in the process. "Your Moon Shades stay on top of your head until we are finished." Pausing as he pointed with his right hands index finger. "Besides, i like looking at your beautiful eyes" His joke fell on deaf ears. His right hand moved once more across his chest, closing his coat once more. His eyes darted towards the girl on the floor before he returned his gaze to Anora. "You lost me some credits on the last mission i gave you, you here to repay me?" He said as he crossed his arms.

"You know that job was botched from the start, mate." She paused as she lowered her hand from her glasses back down to her side, before placing them on her hip. "I'm here with my-." Pausing as she let out an audible sigh "friend." Pausing once more, tilting her head just enough for her eyes to rest on Viva for just a brief second. "I completed the job none the less, I'm here for the money you owe me." Her eyes darted back to the crime lord in front of her. "I completed the job all the same and our-"

"Our agreement is null and void." Terith roared as life in the bar continued on as if he was whispering. "You better come up with some credits and fast, else i find another way for you and your" Pausing as he looked at Viva "friend to repay what you cost me." He finished as a sinister smile crept over his face.

"Not so fast, my friend." Ardur spoke as he placed the barrel of his gun to the ear of Terith.

Star wars: The End of an Era

Hey guys! Sorry for my sudden disappearance. Had a bit of a family emergency that required most of my undivided attention. I will be online at least once or twice a day but i won't be able to write until this Thursday at the earliest. (I think that's my next day off work. xD) Rultaos will be in charge until then, but don't fret as i will return soon :D

Star wars: The End of an Era

What Rultaos said! Very well done.

Ardur found himself exiting Chora's Den after yet another successful shore leave on board the Citadel. He had a few beers and enjoyed the local 'entertainment' for a while. The dancers there always brought about a generous side to him, and he soon found himself short half his paycheck. To him this was always worth it. But the time did not lie, and he knew he had to report back to the SIRIUS soon as their shore leave was about to end, and the Captain did not seem like the type to wait around for someone like him.

He was walking through the streets when he noticed their pilot dash into an nearby bar. She was a cute lass there was no denying that, but what was the likes of her doing in a bar like that? Figuring someone lured her in, Ardur quickly and silently moved to the frame of the door and looked inside.

The bar itself spoke volumes on the business that transpired within. His head moved from person to person, and most of them seemed like the type he would find on places like Omega. "What are you up to, little girl?" He asked as his eyes scanned for Viva. He was suprised to see Selen standing inside the bar, but it was to be expected from her type. "No harm in making sure they're ok." He said as he nabbed an unopened beer off the table outside the bar, opening it with his teeth, before taking a massive swig. His hand remained on the holster of his gun as he eyed up a person taking particular intrest in the duo, his cigar smoke filling the air around his head.

Anora instantly recognized the voice as that of their ships pilot, yet at this very moment her name escaped her thoughts. Her head quickly turn as a smile spread across her face, allowing her Eclipses to do their job. The smile on her face faded for a second as mulitple files came flying across her screen, each with a plethora of information pertaining to this woman before her. Her finger quickly raced across the screen, before pressing down on a file titled 'qualifications '.

"Hey" Pausing for a asecond as she took a note of the phonetic spelling provided. "Viva." She said as she read the dossier. Scrolling left, she clicked once more to open her pilot's license information. "Not that many creepy guys hang around this bar." She lied. "Sometimes a quick drink to pass the time never hurts." Her screen was filled with a folder marked as important, family relations. She quickly clicked on it before a visable look of shock filled her face. "Valko Crux." She thouht to herself. She had heard terrible stories his exploits over the years, and here stood his twin in the form of a legit pilot Viva Crux. This young woman had her attention at first, time would tell if it would sate her curiosity.

Anora quickly closed the folder, and moved her glasses off her face and on top of her head, revealing her saphire coloured eyes to Viva for the first time. "Nothing too important to mention, no." She paused as she motioned for the bartender to come over once more, raising two fingers with her right hand while she pointed to her now empty beer with her left. Soon enough two opened beers were brought before her, and she paid the man. Reaching out her hand towards Viva, she offered her a beer. "One drink before we leave?" She asked. She wanted to know as much as she could about her relation to Valko before she returned to the ship. If she was anything like him then she would be long gone by the time shore leave was over.
