Bacredi stood at the main terminal of the Devonshire (Bacredi's personal ship), as this was a holiday, the bridge was low staffed and almost every member of the bridge had a glass of eggnog. His white shirt un-tucked, his tie wrapped around his neck and un-done and holding a Corellian Cigar in his fingers, Bacredi was sure as hell not happy about the bridge at this moment. Right behind him and smoking a cigarette was Commander Day (who was the "Commander" of the watch), he was wearing his shirt tucked in, tie straightened, ID on his shirt, and the black cloth pauldrons on his shoulders.

"Sir, message from the admiralty, marked urgent." A young yeoman handed Bacredi a piece of paper that he just printed out. By "the admiralty" he meant the Naval High Command. The yeomen then went back to his satellite programming.

Reading the message over quickly, Bacredi looked up suddenly, and at the same time sliding the cigar into his mouth. "Commander Day, bring us out of lightspeed. Weapons officer, bring our weapons online, ready all batteries. Yeomen, send to admiralty: We are pulling out of lightspeed, weapons are at 100 percent, right, give them our position." The yeomen began to type and then looked back at Bacredi, he then nodded, the yeomen had sent it.

"Holy hell, Bacredi. This a joke?" Commander Day was reading over the message that was printed out. "We are not some type of mercenaries, some pitiful bounty hunters. When is this target suppose to arrive?"

"I'm afraid it's not a joke. He is supposed to arrive on the hour," Bacredi checked his watch, 15 minutes to the hour. Are we out of lightspeed?" Bacredi asked.

"Yes, sir." Commander Day said, still smoking.

"Right, send Arrogant Squadron out, have them stay in complete engine silence until the target arrives - then move in and escort it. Have the quartermaster ready three squads, and have the KAAC Freerunners ready in the hangar, I want this ship locked down the moment it reaches here." Bacredi said, he then put out his cigar in the ash tray.

"Aye, aye, sir." Commander Day said, he then nodded to the weapons officer. The weapons officer flipped a switch, flew up a little hatch and he then pressed down on a circular red button. Commander Day picked up the ship handheld microphone and began to speak as the sirens rang. "All hands action stations, I repeat all hands action stations. This is not a drill." Commander Day put the com down as Bacredi left the room, Day then reached for his ear-com and began to ring the quartermaster.

Moving down to a "set-up and ready" room, Bacredi entered the room and began to straighten his tie. This room as were Morrell was staying, the man that was sent to help Bacredi out on this bounty. The room was full of "Bugs", the yeomen had a few tricks up his sleeve, this was one of them. Proceeding out of the room after he found out everything was in check, he headed towards the captain's quarters. Entering, he replaced all of his clothes and put on his black jacket. He then began to attach his medals (the Vast Empire Naval ones) and they wore down heavy on Bacredi's jacket. He then holstered his Q33 in his shoulder holster, just after adding his silencer to it. Bacredi's ear com then rang.

"Sir, this is the bridge. A ship who's transponder codes are "ShadowHawk" alpha-lima-two-two-niner-three-zulu are approaching the Devonshire. Arrogant Squadron is closing in, and we are opening the hangar hatches."

"Copy that, moving to the hangar now." Moving out of his room, Bacredi took two flights down and then met the observation deck. Charles Robinson was wearing a pea-coat, and under that, a suit. Charles was standing there, watching the ship slowly land in the hangar, and at the same time the TIEs moved into the racks ahead. The MP5s and Shotguns of the three teams that Bacredi had asked pressed up against the ship, right by the opening hatch. Suddenly, the hatch opened and a man of Corellian descent walked down, wearing his pilots uniform. The men stood in a firing squad formation, even though they wouldn't fire.

Two men moved up only to be pushed off by two B-2 battle droids following Morrell. Suddenly, two of the teams headed into the ShadowHawk. Morrell suddenly turned around as he was ushered closer into the ship, he then looked up and saw Robinson and Bacredi. Robinson looked over at Bacredi, his black skin showing the twenty nine years it had put into him. "I'll take care of him. Tanner, Ar, on me." Robinson told Bacredi as Bacredi walked towards Morrell's room. He took out his pistol and waited inside, on a chair. He wasn't going to try to rape him - just scare the living shit out of him.

Hunter waved the battle droids off and ordered them to return to the ShadowHawk, which they immediately did. Staring after them, he noticed his T-3 droid at the top of the ramp. Hunter smiled and called it down to him.

“C’mon, Facer. You’re coming with me.” Hunter said, laughing at the small droid’s reply.

He started to say something back, but was interrupted when the man Bacredi called Robinson cleared his throat. Hunter turned a cold look upon the man, but was surprised when the man returned the look. He let a small smile slip on his face and walked forward, following Robinson.

When is this thing going to start? I’m bored already and now I have to be escorted to my quarters. I might just decide to sleep on my ship. Who knows how many bugs have been put in there by now. I’m gonna have to do a frakkin sweep when I get back to it to clear them all out.

He followed Robinson down the hall and was followed by the two lackeys. The lackeys behind him smelled of liquor though the man on the right, the one called Ar, was a tad bit drunk. His steps had a little bit of a stumble to them and his words were a bit slurred as he talked to the guy beside him, the one called Tanner.

“So do you think you are going to be getting that promotion you’ve been angling for?” Tanner said.

“I d-don’t k-know.” Ar forced out.

Hunter forced down a laugh at Ar’s ridiculous voice, made even more ridiculous by the fact that he was drunk. Even though he forced it down, a noise that sounded like a grunt managed to get out, making Robinson turn around, or so Hunter thought.

“Here we are at your cabin. Before you enter, you are to relinquish all your weapons that you have on you at this time.” Robinson said, holding out his hands.

“I’m gonna have to turn that offer down. You see, I keep my weapons on me at all times, you never know when you’re gonna need them. So, if you’d be so kind to step aside, I would love to enter my assigned quarters.” Hunter replied, folding his arms across his chest.

“I’m sorry, but that was not a request.” Robinson replied, repeating Hunter’s gesture.

“I’m choosing to take it that way. Now, if you aren’t going to move, I’ll move you myself.” Hunter said, initiating a stare down. 

Neither man blinked until Facer pushed up between them and extended his shock prod, shocking both in the leg. Hunter jumped back, immediately rubbing his legs.

“Facer! What was that for?” Hunter said, stopping to listen to its reply.

“Well, you didn’t have to shock us if you wanted us to stop.” Hunter said half jokingly.

He stepped forward, walking around Robinson and opened the door to his quarters, followed closely by Facer.

Bacredi walked down the ramp leading to Morrell's room, outside the room, on both sides of the door, stood Robinson and Tanner. Ar had been dismissed, he was obviously drunk. The dozen plus medals weighed down on him, along with his holstered Mynock Q33 with an added silencer. Moving inbetween the two guards, Robinson and Tanner, Bacredi nodded while keeping there stares. Tanner turned around and typed in a code... three-seven-three-nine-seven-zero. The door slid open, and Bacredi shoved himself and his briefcase through. Moving in, Bacredi saw Morrell struggling to sit down, his helmet off and placed upon a table.

"Petty Officer Morrell, Master Chief Petty Officer Bacredi, good to meet you." Bacredi said, shaking Morrell's hand, with an incredibly firm handshake.

"Good to meet you as well, here is the chip." Hunter said, Hunter then raised his hand, inside the palm of his right hand was a data chip that had the engraved words: V.E.N. engraved on it. Bacredi opened his briefcase on the table. Inside the briefcase was a Epsiloni Technology Programming Center (ETPC) Terminal, seven terrabytes of memory. Gently sliding his palm over the scanner on the side of the briefcase, the terminal turned on and suddenly a metal drive jutted out. Bacredi inserted the chip Morrell had given him into the drive, Bacredi then put his headset on.

"Lets see if this works, Petty Officer." Bacredi said as the ETPC Terminal showed the words "Processing Information" in basic letters, at the same time a status meter was blinking. Suddenly, Tanner's voice (who had went to the Devonshire's Mobile Satellite Command came online. "Tanner, this going through for you." Suddenly, the meter hit 100 percent.

"Yes sir.." Tanner said.

"Morrell, give me a sit-rep, shall we?"

"Morrell, give me a sit-rep, shall we?" Bacredi said.

Hunter nodded and silently reviewed all that he had been told before he had left Abrae.

“Well, basically, we are being employed as bounty hunters. We were picked due to my past experience as a bounty hunter and the fact that you are part of the Vast Empire Intelligence Division." Hunter said quickly.

Bacredi stared at him.

"More?" Hunter said questiongly.

Hunter continued after recieving a brisk nod from Bacredi, "I’m going to shorten this just because well, I don’t want to bore you as much as they bored me. Our target is an idiot, in my opinion, who decided to steal a valuable piece of equipment. According to the reports, it was the technical data for a prototype starfighter being developed for use by the Navy. The only one that has been made wasn’t stolen thankfully, but the thief damaged it. So we need to at least get one of the two, preferably both, in order for it to continue in to mass production."

"While I'm sitting here, can I get a glass of Corellian Whiskey? Thanks." Hunter said, pausing to wait for his whiskey.

After taking a couple gulps, Hunter began yet again, "The only leads we have are what he looks like and what he escaped in. The vehicle he used was a heavily modified Eta-2 Actis Interceptor. The HC has no idea how he managed to get in, only that he used the starfighter’s formidable weaponry to blast straight through our forces and escape into hyperspace. It is very dangerous mainly because of the weaponry it has, but also because of its obviously sophisticated systems, including an advanced central computer mainframe with advanced speed due to upgraded engines. Techs have narrowed down his possible destinations to three locations, all of which we are going to check out. Any questions?"

"None... the image is crystal." Bacredi said, clinging onto his suit. He then closed his computer briefcase and began to walk out. "Morrell, gear up. Tell your droids to get the ShadowHawk ready, I'll be wearing a cover, along with my identity." Bacredi walked out of the door, Robinson, Head of Security was standing outside. Bacredi handed him his briefcase computer and then told him to scan it for everything.

Walking up the Duke-Class Type 23 Frigate (aka Bothan Assault Frigate) Devonshire, Bacredi walked into his quarters. He put on a black suit, blue pinstripe shirt, black pants, red tie, and then set his shoulder holster to his suspenders. He then added his Mynock Q33 Slugthrower with a silencer, he then picked up a New Republic Identification Card. As a citizen, Bacredi who was posing as a banker, C. Flynn, was going to help infiltrate. He then moved over to the side of his room and put his finger on the fingerprint scanner and pushed his finger down.

Soon enough, the table flipped up and turned into a foam mold for a rocket launcher, a few snipers, multiple MP5s, silencers, grenades, clips, etc. He grabbed an MP5 and picked up a spare briefcase and put it into the mold that the briefcase had. He then put a grenade inside and two extra clips for the MP5, and also one extra for his pistol. He then straightened his tie out, put his right hand and help his briefcase with it. He then walked out of the room and down to the ShadowHawk.

Entering the ShadowHawk, Bacredi moved towards the cockpit. Bill Tanner was putting weapons that Bacredi liked in the armory, only one... a sniper rifle. He then checked with Bacredi and moved out. The Devonshire pulled into the first system. The Charnobysis System.

Morrell walked in and pressed multiple buttons and Bacredi took up the navigation system seat. He was practically a navigation officer. He began to plot the course out of the place and then set it on manual for Morrell. Bacredi leaned back and put his briefcase on the ground, he then smiled as the ship moved out of the Devonshire..

Maneuvering the freighter out the hangar was a piece of cake and Hunter had it done in less than thirty seconds. He took great pleasure in rocketing out the hanger, dodging starfighters that were docked and forcing crewmen to run for cover. Laughing, he slowed down and passed through the shield and exited the ship. Giving control to Bacredi, Hunter moved out of the cockpit and to his quarters. Thankfully, unlike Bacredi, Hunter could easily pass as a bounty hunter. Once Bacredi had told him of his cover, Hunter immediately formulated a good cover for himself. He was to be a bounty hunter escorting a banker to the drop-off coordinates. Bacredi, the banker, was supposed to have angered the wrong people and had to go into hiding. Because his employer didn’t want to see him dead anymore than he himself did, Bacredi hired Hunter to take him a drop-off point where Bacredi’s employer would take him. While they were there, Hunter would go out and scout around whatever city they would be in and look for useful resources, while Bacredi would stay near the hotel and find out whatever he could on incoming ships that had arrived in the last few days. He slowly put on his customized Katarn Clone Commando armor and affixed the MM9 Rocket System to his forearm. He walked to the armory, looking for some weapons that will help him once down on the planet.

Zhar Bacredi walked out of the ShadowHawk, carrying his briefcase with him. His pistol poked against his ribs as he began to walk out. He looked around, Bacredi saw the Hotel D'Charblyix, fifty stories tall, Bacredi had gotten the top room for himself. Morrell walked behind him, Bacredi had booked him a room across the hall from Bacredi, smaller, but still nice. Moving off of the pad, he entered the hotel's luxurious lobby. Two guards stood there with a taller, unarmed man in-between them. The man in the middle walked up and began to speak to Bacredi, Morrell was following up behind him, but didn't enter.

"Mr. Flynn, my name is Mr. Goy. Myself and these guards will be escorting you and your companion to your separate rooms." Bacredi motioned for Morrell to follow, Morrell got very strange looks from everyone inside the hotel. All of them entered the turbolift and moved to floor fifty. They all exited and Morrell was moved to his room, Bacredi was then placed in his room. Bacredi entered the room, multiple bottles of whiskey, a staircase, three seperate doors, everything that a luxury hotel room would have. Putting his briefcase down near the sink, Bacredi unholstered his pistol and he began to clean his weapon.

He poured himself a glass of whiskey and began to drink.

Hunter stood in the middle of his room and looked around. It was nice, nicer than he was used to and no doubt more comfortable than he was used to. After all, he normally slept on military grade cots that got cold unless you had at least two blankets.

I can get used to this. I think I’m gonna like here.

Hunter grinned beneath his helmet. That grin was wiped off his face a moment later when he remember something. He opened the door and walked across the hall. Knocking slightly on the door, he looked up and down the hall to make sure nobody was there. Bacredi answered the door a couple moments later and Hunter walked in. Bacredi started to say something and Hunter quickly held up a hand and shushed him. Getting out his datapad, Hunter wrote a message on it and held it up in front of Bacredi.

Have you swept the room for bugs? the datapad said.

Bacredi shook his head and Hunter started looking around. The advanced system installed in his armor automatically checked for bugs, but it wouldn’t hurt to check manually. After a while, Hunter was finished.

“Did you find any?” Bacredi asked.

Hunter nodded slowly and held up two fingers. Bacredi nodded and Hunter moved back to his room and started another sweep. He found more in his room than Bacredi’s. After disposing of them, Hunter left the hotel. Before he did though, he made sure to talk to the manager.

“So how is your stay here so far?” the manager said, smiling.

“It has been good. Though, I have found a lot of bugs in my room. You might want to get that checked out. Anyway, have a nice day.”  Hunter said, grinning from ear to ear at the manager’s suddenly pale face.

Thankful of his helmet disguising his features, he nodded to the manager and walked out the doors, out onto the street.

Bacredi finished cleaning his Mynock Q33, he unscrewed the silencer and slipped the un-silenced pistol into his holster and slung his silencer in the pocket next to the silencer. Hunter had cleared the room of bugs for Bacreadi and Bacredi was about to leave, finishing up his whiskey, he threw on his jacket and picked up his briefcase. He pressed the elevator down and went to floor one. Morrell had readied a Reconnaissance Troop Transport Advanced (version), and Bacredi nodded at the manager. The manager looked pale, Bacredi entered the troop transport (which had been converted to civilain use.. aka a luxury transport).

"You know the address Morrell. I'll be attending the bankers meeting. I'll sneak you in through the back door.

"Got it." Morrell said through his suit. "Oh, and Bacredi. A ship by the name of Do You Feel Lucky? has hailed you. And by that they mean they want your immediate attention." Bacredi thanked Morrell and headed into the back room to make the transmission. He started the transmission to his CR90 Do You Feel Lucky?. He had chosen that name while drunk.

"Bacredi to Do You Feel Lucky?, over."

"Affirmative, Bacredi. The Frigate responds loud and clear, we are just orbiting the planet. Just tell us if you need us to cause some... damage."
