One month after the end of the Sith Rebellion

  There he was. Sarli smiled as the medical droid waved the scanner over her inflated stomach, the picture of her baby appearing on a small screen to her left. She was happy that her husband, Horuck Falco, was sitting next to her, holding and petting her hand while he watched the droid show them their son.
  Sarli still couldn't believe that she and Horuck were married, and now were expecting a son. It all seemed like a dream to her, a dream which she does not want to wake up from. Then, not only did Sarli feel X'lor kick, she also saw him kick as well in the picture. Horuck looked at Sarli, a smile on his face.
  "Did you just see that, Sarli?" Horuck said. Sarli nodded, and then whispered, "Horuck, I felt him kick. Unlike you, I'm actually carrying the baby in me." Horuck chuckled, and then looked back at X'lor, absolutely happy at the sight of his son, and thinking of how good of a father he would be.

  There he was. Hor Vance was a man that eats more nerf steaks than what is humanly possible. Then again, he was a Garlokan. Garlokans are always fat due to the life style they lead, but they are also identifiable with their yellow skin and the one horn on the top of their head. He just entered a room with four of his six guards, and in that room was lean, fit man in his mid thirties with two eight of his guards. While two of Hors men stayed on the outside of the hallway, about six guards keeping an eye on them.
  The man was Unid tser, a leader to one of the biggest crime syndicates on Valsimir, and Hor was meeting with him to make a peace treaty between Unid's crime syndicate and the crimson blades, a group of pirates that is led by a battle-scarred gungan named Groex Gal.
  Fiona Solusar brought her head away from the scope of her Sniper, and then quickly checked around her to see if anyone has spotted her. It looks like she is still undetected. She pulled her comlink out, and then turned it on. "Garen, How are things on your end?" Fiona received a affirmative growl from her wookie companion, but then sighed when he continued.
  "Listen, I know that it's very uncomfortable, but you're our weapons expert, and that was the only way in, so just deal with it." Fiona changed the frequency before Garen could growl another complaint, and then said, "Cyan Dysar, F4-T6, this is Fiona. How are the presents coming along?"
  After a grunt, she heard, "Putting the last one on. Their ships won't cause any trouble if things go bad. Also, make sure that Korvas Hunt has our ship ready. I want to get out of here fast. This situation gives me the creeps."
  Fiona sighed. She hated talking with Korvas. When she changed it to Korvas's frequency, she heard a lot of swearing in Twi'lek. "Things aren't going well in paradise, I presume?" After another clang, she heard, E chu ta! The blood angel is having one small engine problem, and even though it's small right now, if I take off in the next ten minutes without giving the proper repairs, it will only get worse, so try to keep things down while I fix it. Okay, honey?"
  Fiona then turned the comlink off. She hated that Korvas would hit on her, even though he knew it full well that she wasn't interested in him. She just pushed her hatred aside, and then looked back through her scope at the negotiations between Hor and Unid, which was in the eighteen story building that was across from hers. The building was the tallest one there, but they weren't at the top, and was, luckily, on the same level that Fiona's roof was on.
  After thirty minutes of Fiona lying down on her stomach, looking through the scope to just see the boring negotiations go on and on. Hor must have said something offensive because Unid looks seriously pissed off.
  Fiona quickly felt adrenaline rushing through her veins as she readied her trigger finger to fire. She kept her sights on one of Unid's bodyguards. The bodyguard was a male Rodian with an old E-11 blaster rifle, and looked very twitchy. She aimed the scope at his chest level, a much easier object to hit than the head.
  Unid shot up from his chair, only making the Rodian even more twitchy. Unid leaped behind his guards while pointing at Hor as the guards pulled their weapons out and started to point it at Hor. Fiona pressed the trigger, smiling when the laser bolt went through the window and hit the Rodian right at the heart.
  Fiona went to the next target, a buff man with two heavy pistols, and then fired her rifle again, getting the man in the head. Where the hell was Garen? Then, as if on cue, Garen fell from the vent behind Hor and his men, roaring loudly. Standing up, Garen caught one guard that was shot in the torso, and then, using the body as a shield, charged at Unid and his men, firing his bowcaster with his free hand. Fiona watched as two more men fell to Ganer's blaster fire, and then the remaining guards fell to the wookies fury as it dropped the body, and then, using his claws, unleashed unmatched fury against the remaining guards. Hor and his three remaining guards ran to where Garen was as the blasterfire outside in the hallway stopped. That was when Fiona heard the explosions.
  Looking over to her right, she smiled when she saw the hanger bay holding Unid's fighter. Speaking of Unid, one of Hor's men had him in handcuffs while holding his right arm tightly. Garen picked up one of the dead bodies, and used it as cover while aiming his bowcaster at the door.
  Fiona made the necessary changes for a more accurate shot when she started to aim towards the door, her heart sunk when she heard a few fighters soaring through the air, and by the sounds of it they're getting closer. Looking towards the sound of the fighters, Fiona swore under her breath seeing two fighters coming towards her as her comlink bleeped to life with Cyan Dysar speaking. "Bad news, Fiona. Two of the bombs didn't go off, probably a malfunctioning in the wiring. Sorry about that. Me and F4-T6 are already on the blood angel with Korvas, all we need now is to come and pick you, Garen, and Hor up."
  "Don't forget Unid. Garen has him in captivity, so get ready for an extra dinner guest." Fiona stood up, and then she pressed a button the side of the rifle, causing the barrel to come back into the body along with the scope. Putting it on her back, she pulled out a small Falter bomb and then her DF-67 blaster pistol. Fiona took five steps back, and then ran towards the edge. Upon reaching the edge, she jumped off, and only to land on one of the fighter's just moments later. When it started to circle around the building, she guessed that the pilot didn't realize his new passenger. Planting the Falter bomb on the wing of the fighter, Fiona jumped towards the building.
  When she crashed through the window, entering the room where Garsen is, the bomb detonated, taking out the fighter's wing and sending it spiraling off into another building. Fiona reached for her belt, and then pulled out two thermal detonators. As she jumped away from the door leading into the hallway, she threw the live thermal detonators towards the doors. When the door opened, the grenades landed right at the guard's feet. The Thermal detonators went off, killing the guards. When Fiona landed on the table, she immediately stood up, and then dusted herself off.
  "Never a dull moment, is there?" Fiona said as she looked over at Hor. "Y-You're the famous bounty hunter that Groex Gal sent?" Fiona nodded. "W-Whats with the bandages over your head?" Hor continued. Fiona grinned under her bandages, and then replied, "Oh, nothing. Now come on, our ship should be here…" The fighter rose up into view the laser cannons aimed right at Fiona. "Soon."
  Before the fighter could fire, it was enveloped in flames when green blaster bolts hit it. Then a dark green ship came into view, and in the cockpit was the Twi'lek pilot Korvas and the Kel Dor mechanic that made the bombs Cyan Dysar. The ship turned around, and the boarding ramp opened up.
  Before Hor could get on the boarding ramp, Fiona stepped in front of him. "Now, Hor, I may be working for Groex, but I was only told to rescue you, not your body guards. If you want them to come aboard," Fiona held her hand out with a glint in her eyes. "It will cost a hundred credits to bring each one aboard."
  Hor quickly gave her three hundred credits, saying, "Fine, I don't care, just get me out of here." As he boarded the ramp, Fiona yelled after him, "What!? One little gun fight got you shaking in your boots? Come on, I was in tougher fights with womp rats than this!" The three guards took Unid into the ship, and was then followed by Fiona and Garsen.
  As the blood angel soared up into the sky, Fiona followed the three guards take Unid into the storage room, and then threw him in a corner where they watched him. She just walked away from the scene, not very interested in the scene.

  ("Excellent job, Fiona. I must admit, I did not expect the negotiation to go that badly.") Groex said as he looked at Fiona with a smile on his scarred face. He was only a hologram that was on Fiona's desk, hiding in his base which is who knows where.
  "I must admit, our plan didn't go as smoothly as I thought, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle." Fiona said as she leaned back in her golden chair that had red leather on the back, where she sat, and the arm rests. Her desk was also yellow, and she had three bookcases, one on each wall filled with datapads that she uses to store all her adventures. She is almost halfway done with them. "Besides, we only have five more debts to pay you off until we are finally free from the debt that we owe you."
  Groex sighed, and then rubbed in between his eyes. ("I know, Fiona. I don't wanna think about that, I just want to think about what else you could do for me.") Groex snapped his fingers, and then continued. ("The Republic contacted one of my agents for help. One of their jedi knights, a girl by the name of Linora Lordess. She is on the planet Tranosha, and all her ships and transports were destroyed by a massive thunder storm, and so they have called for us to help. Drop off Hor and Unid off at Hurcha. I have an outpost there, and my men will gladly take them off your hands. You should also drop off the Jedi at halm, where the Republic will pick her up.")
  Fiona nodded, saying, "Good. I hate their stench tremendously." With that, she turned the communicator off, Groex's hologram disappearing. Fiona looked up at the door as it opened, and saw Korvas stepping in and around Garsen, who was standing watch at her door.
  Garsen owes her a life debt, so he thinks that he has to stand watch for her. Korvas, like he always is whenever he's in his ship, was shirtless. He sat on Fiona's desk, saying, "Captain, what do you ask of me? I am at your COMPLETE mercy."
  "Go and set a course for Hurcha. We're gonna drop off our guests there and then we will head off towards Tranosha to pick up a Jedi for the Republic." "JEDI!?" Korvas said as he jumped off Fiona's table. "You mean to tell me that we're doing an errand for the Republic now?" "No, this errand was given to Groex, and he decided that we should go and do this errand after dropping the trash off on Hurcha, so go and set the coordinates for Hurcha."
  Korvas nodded, and then left the room, crossing his arms. On his way to the cockpit, he stepped out of the way as F4-T6 rolled down the hall, off to help Cyar do some sort of repair to the ship, and that was it. Fiona usually stayed to her quarters, Cyan always stayed in one or two spots for repairs, and F4 always supported him in the repairs one way or another.
  Of course Garsen always stuck close to Fiona, which left Korvas alone by himself in the cockpit. Upon entering the cockpit, he set in the coordinates, and then made the jump.

  Linora Lordess waited patiently at the spaceport for the transport that she was told that she would be receiving. She then blew a blue strand of her hair out of her face, and then looked at the number of the hanger. Number 25, which is the correct one she was told to meet them at.
  Linora, feeling her legs getting tired for standing in that same spot for about an hour, went to a chair that was attached to the wall, and then sat down on it, crossing her legs. She saw a few men staring at her, either admiring her or wondering if blue was her natural hair color.
  She just ignored them like she has been ever since she got here. She so couldn't wait until her ride gets here, she just wants out of here and to head back to Coruscant. She didn't have to wait much longer for only three minutes later did a green ship that matched the description she was told arrived.
  As she sat up, stretching her legs and back, the boarding ramp started to open. Once it was done, a woman in green armor with bandages over her head stepped out, and was then soon followed by a wookie.
  Linora walked towards the two, and then did a quick bow. "I am guessing that you two are my ride?" Linora said as she crossed her arms. The woman in green battle armor brought her head back, and then started to move her eyes up and down. "Well, well. Garsen, look at this Jedi. She sure is fine."
  Linora looked at her with a confused look, then replied, "Excuse me?" The girl then brought herself closer to Linora, and then whispered, "How about you come into my personal quarters and then we can learn about each other MUCH better."
  Linora pushed the girl away, saying, "Please don't tell me that you are my ride to Halm." The girl chuckled, and then crossed her arms. "My name is Fiona Solusar, at your service." She then leaned forward, saying, "I also am at your complete, sexual desire, if you find yourself the need to." Linora quickly walked past the Fiona and Garsen, dreading the three hour flight to Halm.
  
  Groex was quite pleased with himself of how he has been able to play the cards he has been dealt with. Sending out Fiona and her gang to pick up the Jedi allowed him to gain more time to find out how he could further use them, and he can also get the whole Jedi business out of the way.
  As Groex hummed to himself, he was broken out of a trance by his communicator beeping. Turning it on, he was surprised to see a man in a brown cloak appear. "What do you want? I thought I told you not to call me unless there's an emergency."
  "There is, Groex. I spied on your conversation with Fiona, and you have made a mistake." He leaned forward, saying, "You told her to drop off a Jedi on Halm. That's where I'm hiding." Groex's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Well, there's a chance they won't find you, so…" "No, I have foreseen it in a vision. If I do nothing, then they will find me, so I have a plan."
  After telling Groex the plan, he smiled. "That is so evil. I like it." The man nodded, and then said, "I hope you do your part just right, Groex, or else." Groex stood up from his desk, replying, "Don't you worry about me. I'll do my part to the letter."
  Then the hooded man deactivated his communicator, leaving Groex all by himself. Pulling out the communicator, he set in the right number, and then made the call to the Jedi temple about a rogue Jedi traveling to Halm with a group of pirates, and immediate action is required.
