"No."
Kellen sighed. "Stark." He pinched the bridge of his nose.
"No. I refuse. I didn't sign up for this."
Kellen crossed his arms at Stark. "This is a simple mission!" Stark frowned distastefully.
"Let me get this straight. I don't do business with pirates."
"Getting the hostages are important, Stark. There's a war going on. The Republic will pay handsomely for their return." Kellen said, glaring at his stubborn friend. Well, more apprentice.
"I don't care. I don't like pirates." He said bluntly.
"Stark you said when you joined the crew you wanted to save as many lives as possible." Kellen argued.
In response to this, Stark stood up and walked towards the metal doors which slid open for him as they would any other crew member. Stark liked the ship. The Chaser didn't discriminate, and worked the same for all of them, no matter the race or gender or age. Now that he thought about it, he was acting like a hypocrite.
Kellen owned the ship and was a crew member. Stark should be grateful for a job not under the Separatists.
Stark really hated the fact that he and Kellen were the only ones on the ship sometimes.
"Stark." Kellen said quietly, in a dangerous calm voice. His dark eyes sharply glanced at Stark, you didn't turn around. Stark left Kellen alone in the cockpit.
Kellen was in a predicament. There were only two of them on the crew. Stark had been the one to do the missions well Kellen waited to fly off. Kellen loved the stinker, but sometimes he could be so frustrating. The plan was simple, get the hostages off of Florrum, and get to Coruscant. The Republic would pay them for the return of the hostages.
Kellen sighed and looked at a transmitter. It was a special design on Stark's. It picked up both Republic and Separatist transmissions. That's how they had learned about the hostages. They were their own informants. Kellen didn't like relying on informants, he had gotten burned doing a job on Lothal and that was all it took.
Kellen looked at their current position. They were 100 klicks south of Tatooine. A pro, the planet acquired a bad reputation. It's considered a cesspool of the galaxy due to the large number of criminals who could be found there. A con, it's considered a cesspool of the galaxy due to the large number of criminals who could be found there.
Kellen gripped the controls and moved The Chaser northwards. He leant back and called out to Stark. "Stark! We're going to Tatooine to see if we can pick up a few mates interested in the job. Like it or not, we need the credits!"
There was a loud clang in response at Stark pounded on the wall the reply.
"Who knows? Maybe we'll find someone who can kick your butt all the way to Coruscant for us." Kellen laughed.
"Shut it old man!"
"I'm 32! You're 15! I'm not that old, you angsty teenager."
"Angsty isn't a word, Kellen."
"It is now!"
There was an audible sound of a slap. Stark had put his face in his hands. "Fine! I'll go with you!"
Kellen laughed to himself. It was a small victory.
Hey guys! I'm back after my hiatus! I promise this story will finish, unlike the last one that stopped 'cause I went off. Anyways, the story goes that it's during the Clone Wars and the main plot follows a crew of mercenaries (and sometimes bounty hunters) as they deal with the moral and ethical issues of the war, as well as being pressured to pick a side. Now, I have enough crew members but I'm accepting guest characters. They have their own arcs in the story and will show up more then once, but they're not permanent crew, you see? They can be anything really. More details in the next chapter.
Requirements for Other Characters
These are the people who hire the crew, join the crew for one job, for the backstory of other characters, etc. Like if you want a clone to show up, a Jedi with the republic, another bounty hunter not part of the crew, etc. You can make them related to or affiliated with the canon characters on the show. This takes place around season 2 so keep that in mind!
Okay, the form on my profile and I hope to see you all soon!
Peace and Mist,
