The Eye of the Huntress

[Walter Stale]

~ The hours slip by, and now there are only three hours left. ~


*They're all in the cockpit*
"So do you have a plan on getting the Chancellor to the Republic once they pay us?"

[Walter Stale]

"Yeah, I've got a plan."
"Drop me off at the Thrandrine Space Yards."
"Ok."
*flies to the Thrandrine Space Yards*
"Well, this is where we leave. I'll transmite 30,000 to your account."
*they talk a little more then Walter leaves the ship and Jazhara takes off*

[Walter Stale]

*As Jazhara heads towards her destination,
30,000 credits enter her computer's system, waiting to be sent on to where she'll store it*

[Jazhara Akkaro]

*quickly sends the money to her account*
::Luckily nobody knows I was in it with Walter*

*walks into the cockpit* "Well? Am I just going to stay here forever or do you have a destination in mind?"
"I didn't know sarcasm was in your line of speech, Chancellor. We're going to Bothwui ::Ku'sata will have to wait. I'm sure he's having an enjoyable time in Walter and Nathan's fort, anyway.:: Buckle up."
*has the look of *FINALLY* on his face* I already did. *has the look of *I'm one step ahead of you* on his face*
Jazhara input the coords for Bothwui, and let the Huntress jump into lightspeed.

[Jazhara Akkaro]

*takes a deep breath as the ship comes out of hyperspace *

[Jazhara Akkaro]

~ During the time leap, Jazhara blasted out of Bothwui airspace, followed by Bothan security. Taking some damage, she lept to hyperspace successfully, and later picked up Ku'sata on Kamino. Since then, she's been laying low. ~

[Jazhara Akkaro]

Ku'sata sits in the cockpit, watching The Bith Supremacy for the umpteenth time on Jazhara's moniters. He sighs.

Jazhara sits at the small table in the corner, concentrating on something.

"I think it's been long enough now."
"What?"
"We've been sitting out here in space for two months now!! Why don't you go... spend your money or something. The war is over ... no one is looking for you now.
"Getting restless?" Jazhara didn't look up.
"Well, I really enjoyed watching pirated holovids 16 hours a day, for two months, I'm sure I could stay forever."
"Those weren't pirated."
"Face it, Jazhara, you're boring."
"I just haven't killed anyone recently."

".... That was a joke."
Ku'sata shakes his head. "You need to get out more."
She doesn't reply, but clicking sounds come from her table screen.
"So when can we land on ... somewhere?"
Jazhara sighs. "I'll put in a course for Tatooine."
"Brilliant!..... I thought you didn't like Tatooine?"
Jazhara looks annoyed. "Do you want to go somewhere, or not?"
"All right, all right." Ku'sata fast-forwarded to the next fight sequence. A few minutes later, he looked over at her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm playing a game."
He stares. "You..... YOU are playing a game??"
"It's called "Assassin's Strike. It's a training game."
"Oh." Ku'sata pauses, "You're not an assassin though."
"I may change my profession. I never liked taking in live bounties. Too much hassle. I don't like people in my ship for long periods of time."
Ku'sata coughs. "Right. So, Tatooine. I can do it... if you like."
For the first time, she looked up. "All right. Mos Espa. Land near the outskirts."
"Doesn't everybody?" he jokes, and brings up the nav computer. Once the coords are set, he leans back in his chair. "So, you might change your profession?"
"Yes, I've always prefered assassination to bounty hunting."
"But if you want to lay low, then going back into business might not be the best choice."
"I know, I've considered alternatives."
Ku'sata hesitates. "Have you considered... smuggling?"
Jazhara looks up, a suprised expression on her face. "No, not recently."
He shrugs. "You could... well, that is, I know some people, and I could get you in touch with them. Call it as a favor for the Fondor rescue. You could still work that way, but not on Coruscant. Smuggling is an adventure all in itself. I.... *cough* haven't since I retired, but it's always a thrill."
She raised one eyebrow, and inclined her head. "Perhaps. I'll think about it."
He smiles, knowing he's caught her interest. It's better than becoming an assassin... maybe she'll like it. Her father did. He turns to watch the holovid, only to see the credits rolling up. "Nuts," and he rewinds The Bith Supremacy to watch the speeder chase.

*after a few more hours, the Huntress arrives at Tatooine*
