Free Agent Trading (D4, MA)

[Delmi Koor]

She took the chit in her hand and rummaged through her pack to pull out her datapad.

"So... what happened?" She asked as she plugged in the chit. "Somebody set you up?"

[Dapper Dog]

The chit had very little used data just two pictures on it.

"My mind is still fuzzy, I was checking in on a safe house I think... there was a fight, they were good. Too good," he said frowning.

[Delmi Koor]

Delmi turned around the datapad to Theron. "Either of these faces involved with your attack? I think I remember the girl from the protests on the first day..."

[Dapper Dog]

"Don't recognize them, they were mercs probably highly trained, armored, didn't say much," he said regretfully.

[Delmi Koor]

She nodded, "Welp... good to have you back Ther. This is what we got now... Wyrmtongue767 was my mother and she was located at the Roost. We tracked down Tabasa the Hutt... but she got there first. We apprehended her... but had to trade her for you and these faces. Supposedly knowing who these two are will help us save Alderaan somehow..."

She placed a hand on his shoulder and patted it, "This is what we got... Lets make the most of it."

She smiled softly, "And lets get you cleaned up... you look like death."

[Dapper Dog]

"If the roles were reversed I probably wouldn't have made that trade..." he said frowning. "I am glad I didn't have to make that call, I guess."

[Delmi Koor]

"And I wouldn't resent you for a second for that..." She said with a smile. "Of course I'd be dead... so I couldn't really resent you..."

"But you know me, I'm a softie for the helpless." She squeezed his shoulder gently.

She patted him gently on the shoulder again before standing up to her full height and extending a hand to help him up.

"And besides... getting rid of her doesn't get rid of our problems. Gotta rip out the root of the weed, not just the leaves."

[Dapper Dog]

"She seems like a big damn weed," Theron replied.

[Delmi Koor]

She pulled him up and put herself directly at his side under his arm to bolster him up.

"I've been wrong before... I'll probably be wrong again. But I gotta live the way I feel is right... And saving my one friend in the galaxy's life while also not giving up on taking down these terrorists?"

She paused and looked him in the eye, "I'll take that option..."

[Dapper Dog]

"We'll win, you don't know how to lose," he said with a nod.

[Layne Hoshin]

"I thought I was your friend?"

Layne said awkwardly in the background, as if to remind everyone that she was there too. When they'd look her way, she'd give a small wave. "...been a while, Theron."

She would then look over the pictures.

[are the pictures labeled the way they were in the post? Ie; House Rist?]

[Dapper Dog]

Theron added, "Jedi Knight Hoshin, hey."

OOC: Yes they are labeled.

[Delmi Koor]

Delmi handed the datapad over to Layne so as to have both hands free to help Theron back to the ship.

She smiled quietly at Theron's comment. There didn't seem to be a good response to it. Theron and Delmi never really complimented each other that often... at least not if part of some ribbing back and forth. It made this particular compliment land a bit more soundly.

As she helped Theron along she replied to Layne, "A few more days like this and maybe you can be my second friend."

[Layne Hoshin]

"That's harsh," she said looking at the pictures. Or rather the labelling.

"Are these... supposed to be Star Cabal members? People working to disrupt Alderaan, or what? House Rist again... I don't know this guy, but... I was having a call earlier with someone claiming to be the brother of the Duchess who seemed genuinely shocked at what I was telling him about the Cabal... when the line was suddenly cut and blocked. Guessing I was maybe saying too much, in retrospect."

[Delmi Koor]

"If I had to stab at a guess... I'm guessing they're operatives here on the planet causing this problem." She replied.

"If there's someone in House Rist you absolutely trust... Maybe you see if they know who this fellow is?" She walked up the ramp with Theron on her shoulder.

"As for the girl... I don't know. We got to track her down somehow... I think she was tied to that Tuvi kid... but he's like missing or dead now... So I'd guess this chick is now super important to find.. and soon."
