Chapter 1
Jazisa ran through the spaceport on Tatooine, she had quickly return to her ship, the Raven, in order to board the goods that should be there now. She wanted as soon as possible to disappear from this planet and fly her way to Coruscant. She saw the Hutt already standing beside her ship from far away, her co-pilot, a man named Aliak, tried to convince him not go inside of the ship. Jazisa quickly ran the last steps that separated them from Aliak and the Hutt.
"Ah Jabba", Jazisa called, addressing him, while coming closer. The Hutt responded immediately, turned to her and started talking to her in Basic.
"Swancall, I see you have goods which do not belong to me" the voice of the oversized slug, really, dripped with scorn, and vanity.
Had this hutt always knowledge from every thing happening around him? Apparently nothing remained hidden to him, that happened on Tatooine. But of course he was right, she had bought Ryll from another smuggler, at an affordable price, which she had gotten by using a Force mind trick. She had a certain talent in the Force. However, her limited abilities mostly showed in moving smaller objects and stuff like that. But with intense training, she had managed to sneak into the spirit of weak personalities to a certain degree and incept them simple thoughts.
"I assure you, Jabba, that this will not affect our trades in the least," Jazisa replied, trying to sound friendly.
"I hope so," the Hutt replied, "for your best".
"What can I do for you?" She asked, but hoped fervently that Jabba had come only to remind her, for whom she worked.
"I have a customer who is waiting for you on Aris in the Albarrio sector. He pays well. I expect you to treat him with the respect he deserve as a good paying customer." Jabba said, "He is waiting for you in the greatest settlement that exists there. I was assured that he will find you when you finally arrive there".
It would have been to nice if he had wanted nothing from her, but that did not matter, she had to hope that her contact man on Coruscant would wait for them. Because to go against a command of Jabba was suicide. Once she had tried to dissuade Jabba with the thought trick, but she had failed miserably, because his personality was strong enough to resist and hutts, as she later learned, were immune to this kind of manipulation. This trial almost got her killed, if not a counselor, a dangerous looking Twi'Lek, convinced him that her talent could be useful.
So there was only one possibility, they had to travel to Arsi and meet the mysterious person.
"As you wish Jabba," she said, bowing.
When Jabba was gone she turned to Aliak.
"We should store the Ryll and then quickly get to Arsi. Lets hope that we can sell the Ryll on Coruscant later".
"Do not worry Jaz, you know the rich and vain on the core worlds, they can never get enough. Unless a miracle happens and all Ryll addicts to be cured at once, then that should not be a problem", the young man answered friendly.
After less than twenty minutes, they had hidden the Ryll in the smuggler hidings aboard the Raven and began to prepare for the takeoff.
After Jazisa and Aliak had finished all routine tests they ignite the engines. A strong shudder went through the ship and it slowly rose into the sky and they let the endless deserts of Tatooine behind them.
