who could do as well as she did when put on the spot.  He knew because he'd had to deal with a lot of them over the years.  Most of them were pretty terrible, if he were to be honest.  In fact, he still had a small scar from a grazing blaster shot when one of those bad actors actually<em>drew</em>the attention of the guys chasing them instead of blending in.  Now that was an interesting experience.<br/><br/>Sethcor somehow refrained from smirking, though his lips did twitch, but only just at the thought.  In any event, Tara began yelling in some kind of language he'd never heard of before.  He was pretty positive that Hector was listening in and would have an answer if he asked, but that wasn't necessary right now.  No, he simply let her acting play out until she reached the point of pretending to calm down and explain the situation.<br/><br/>So, a human woman and possibly a male Codru-Ji?  Interesting.  If they do have backup, then that was quite the problem.  Two of them, he and Tara could possibly handle.  Depending on how many others they have with them, it could be a bit more challenging.  What-to-do, what-to-do.....<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Keirah, looked across the crowd of people going in and out of the docking bays with a bored expression.  So far, none of people they saw came even close to matching the descriptions of the two they were look....wait.....those two over there having a fight.  She paused and, while she couldn't see the face of the guy, the woman looked somewhat familiar.<br/><br/>She raised her com to her mouth, "Chaser, I'm not quite close enough to tell, but I think I found our two.  Keep in mind that there's now droid with them.  No, it's not a combat droid.  If they start to move, don't damage the primary target.  Take the droid as intact as you can.  There may be some value in it."<br/><br/><div

was just out of view.  It was large enough for six roughly human-sized individuals to stand somewhat comfortably in addition to the pilot.  It was armored to protect it against typical blaster fire and was a bit more maneuverable than it appeared.  Right now, there were only four in the transport since she and Go'Lak were down here.  The two of them held concealed micro-blasters.  They were new weapons designed specifically for this purpose.  Though their range was maybe fifty feet, sixty on the outside, and their cells only held enough charge for eight shots, they were more than capable of inducing fatal injury.  In addition, they each carried knives and a collapsible stun baton.  It wasn't the armaments they would have chosen, but their typical preferred weapons were far more conspicuous than they would have wanted in such a public area.<br/><br/>It would have been enough for just the two of them, but if they somehow tried to slip away, that's where the chase team came in.  She had no reason to dislike either of the two, but business was business and they were hired to bring the target back alive, preferably with as little fuss as possible.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Sethcor smiled, "A Codru-Ji?  Very interesting.  It's no surprise that you've never actually seen one before.  They're generally very xenophobic.  Most stay on their own home world.  I knew one who ran a small-time mercenary group on vibrant, habitable moon.  I wouldn't say we saw each other as friends, but she helped me out of a couple of jams and I helped her out with supplies from time to time.  Come to think of it, it's been about a year since we last spoke..."<br/><br/>His voice trailed off for a moment before he shook himself, "Anyway, it looks like we can't get past them, at least not on this level.  Unless we take the long way around to the other entrance on this level, which would take a bit of acrobatics if you catch my meaning, then we need to find a way up three more levels or down five more levels to reach the next set of docking bays.  From there, we take the lifts to return to this bay.  Before we do that, how about we slip out of sight while they're not paying attention?  Even if they are, the crowd's pretty heavy.  Unless they start firing weapons to clear the way, we'll be able to move a but faster than they would."<br/><br/>Unbeknownst to either of them at this time, the small, spherical spy drone was hiding in the shadow of a sign and was keeping watch.  The moment they began to move to avoid the two mercenaries, it would send a signal to the hover transport's driver, who would Keirah.  Luckily for the both of them, the two mercenaries would be smart enough to not pull out weapons in such a crowded spot.  No, they would wait for the minimal of witnesses as they attempted to subdue their target.
