Kayylla tinkered with the 'Minimizers' engine drives, while she waited for her meetings. She found she was tinkering more and more over the past few years. This old clunker was starting to cost more then what she was hoping. Kayylla stopped for a few minutes and headed for the very small galley to grab a bit to eat. She snatched a ration bar and plopped down at the edge of the engine compartments.
She sat there thinking about what she would buy when her deals were done. Her thoughts wavered between buying the needed parts to get her ship up to shape, or spend it all on a new freighter. She loved her Cloakshaped fighter after all the work she had done modifying it. She had the hull plates doubled, boosted more power to the generators and added hyperdrive unites. It also took time to hollow out most of the unneeded components to make room for the small galley and hold area. A newer ship would be ideal; she would have to think more about it when she got her credits.
Finishing the bar she picked up her hydrospanner and power calaborator and got back to work on the engines.
Winding her way through the underground warrens Kayylla noticed it did not take as long the second time to reach the 'Headquarters'. Entering the tapcafe, her senses were flooded with many strange smells. She wanted to cough but held back the urge. She moved down the steps with grace that many species longed to perfect. Her cloak barley moved as she wound her way threw the crowed to an open booth near a curtain partition in the back.
The bartender set a long cylindrical glass in front of her and motioned to someone at the bar. The bartender moved off as a Deveronian sauntered his way over to her booth. Seating himself in front of her, he placed his sharp nailed hand on the table near the holo disk in the center.
"Can I help you?" Kayylla asked looking the Deveronian over.
"The word is you're looking for a buyer to take some items off your hands." He said with a sharp toothy smile and leaning against the booth wall.
"Yes, I do believe that is what I am looking for. Now, how much are you willing to pay for the items?" Kayylla remarked.
"It all depends on what you have and the quantity of it. So, what do you have?"
Kayylla motioned for him to move in closer. She knew it was a mistake to tell him every item she had aboard her ship but she was willing to chance it. Besides it couldn't hurt to embellish a little now could it?
"Now what's your price?"
"I'll give you 50 thousand now and I'll give you one hundred thousand once I get the merchandise." The Deveronian said smiling at her as though she was a Gamorian.
Kayylla placed her hands under her chin and calmly replied. "No."
The Deveronians face registered shock then anger. "How can you turn down an offer like this?"
"You call that an offer?" Kayylla laughed in response. "I will be in contact with you. Besides I have other buyers waiting with better offers. Now if you would be so kind and step aside, there are others waiting." Kayylla motioned with her fingers for him to leave the booth.
"You'll regret this. I made the best offer you could have had." He said as he got out of the booth.
She motioned towards the bartender and two Trandoshans removed the Deveronian from the 'Headquarters.'
The other dealings seemed to turn out the same ways as the first. Most were kind enough to remove themselves under their own will, others however, had to be removed by the Trandoshans. Kayylla was growing tired of these little games. She was getting ready to leave when a human male stepped threw the opened doorway. A hush fell over the patrons as he descended the stairs, he moved silently to the bar. He spoke briefly to the bartender and was then directed to her booth.
He walked with an air of authority. To Kayylla it looked as though he was in the military. 'Good.' She thought 'they have more many then what they will ever now what to do with.'
"I, ah suppose you are the one I am to meet with?" The human said sliding in across from her.
"Depends on what we are meeting for." Kayylla said eyeing the male across from her.
"I've heard something's." He said placing his arms on top of the table.
"What might they be?" She asked.
" I've heard that you have some of the last items to ever come off Alderaan." He said with a smile.
"If that is what you are looking for, then you have come to the right place. Now how much are you willing to pay?" She said leaning towards him.
"We are willing to offer you a quarter of a million credits for your goods." he said with satisfaction.
Kayylla disguised her surprise with a smile. "You have got yourself a deal. Meet me outside docking bay 1038 tomorrow morning, you only need to bring a transport and some help. I will be waiting there with everything unloaded. You had better have the money."
"Oh, we will." He said and got up and left the smoke filled room.
She didn't trust the man but he had the best offer of the evening. She had no choice but to go with the deal.
The Imperial walked briskly away from the 'Headquarters' tapcafe. It didn't take him long to reach the abandoned building which held a hidden turbo lift. H was on his way to his superiors to report on his assignment he had just completed. The time passed quickly to ascend the 40 levels to his superiors' offices. The doors opened with barely a sound, he stepped out onto the carpeted flooring and proceeded down the hall. The door at the end of the hall opened upon his arrival and closed without a sound once he entered.
"Ah, Major Fenel. Your back sooner then expected." A heavyset man said behind the desk in the room.
Fenel saluted and held the position until it was returned. "Yes General Derricot, the meeting went easier then I expected. The person who I met with was very eager about the price that was made." Fenel said stepping towards his superior.
"Very good. When does the transfer take place?" Derricot asked.
"We have arranged to meet in the he morning at docking bay 1038." Fenel answered.
"Invisec!" You agreed to pick the items up in Invisec? How could you do this? You know how I feel about aliens. Is there any way to change the drop off?" Derricot shouted leaning forward on the desk.
"I'm sorry sir, but there is no way of changing the drop off. She never gave me her comm signal or her name. I also agreed upon the drop off place because there is a likely chance of anything happening to the merchandise. Besides she would be more at ease in Invisec then any other place on planet." Fenel said raising his voice to that of the generals.
"Why should 'she' feel more at ease there? Is she an alien? Derricot questioned coming around to the front of the desk and stood in front of the major.
"Yes she is a nonhuman." Fenel said looking past him out at the cityscape beyond the desk.
"What kind?"
"A species I have never seen before." Fenel said bringing his gaze to meet that of Derricot's.
"What does she look like?" Derricot pressed..
"From what I could see of her, she seemed tall, brown hair, slim figured, very beautiful. Oh and green eyes." Fenel said with a smile as he thought of her.
"That's it? How do you know she is an alien. She seems perfectly human from what you've said." Derricot said taking another step towards the major.
"No sir, her eyes are completely green. I have never come across any species like her before."
"Thrawn." The General whispered. "It can't be can it?"
"Begging the Generals pardon?" he asked.
"What? Nothing, your dismissed." Derricot said giving him a half salute.
Fenel saluted and left the Generals office wondering what could have made the General so frightened. He walked down a different corridor to another turbo lift, which sent him to a lower level where Major Jace Fenel got off and was lost in the crowd.
