Things almost immediately went south with Urope. I don't know why I'm even surprised anymore. I was able to send the Droid on ahead to the Outhouse with the fighter before Urope could investigate it, but he tried to rope us into moving the slaves, which was ridiculous because we already made it clear we couldn't. Thankfully Soren was able to pull some legalese out of his butt that turned the Jedi around enough to let us go. We headed to Vester, out in the ass crack of forever, to meet up with the most asinine group of crackpots I've ever met. Of course this job was Silhara's so that should be expected. The ship was loaded up with as many crystals as I could get, and I had brokered a less than favorable deal with Poporo when we were told the job was to crash the ship into a moon. Right off, this didn't fit the criteria of the job we came for and these idiots were expecting us to risk our livelihood for not nearly enough pay.
We changed the deal, and at this point I can't decide if it was worthwhile or not. The job was to distract and clear the defenses of a group of nutjobs called the Void. A group that turned out to be extensively more well organized and funded, though how anyone can manage to run an operation like theirs from outside of a hyperlane is beyond me. We effectively got ourselves intentionally captured, and it just went south from there. After escaping we fought a flood of personnel that made this stalemate between Elextrik and Void completely nonsensical. Void could have wiped out their "competition" at any time.
In the same way that Elextrik couldn't have held out, neither could we and we were recaptured. After a few days of starvation and dehydration Silhara was able to break out and released us. It just happened that she managed it the same time that Urope, who had bugged and tracked us, showed up to find out what was happening. We saved ourselves, though, he may have cause a distraction, but we still did the heavy lifting and would have been fine.
And then the story goes south. Urope locked down the Owl, discovered the crystals, and effectively threatened us with banishment and death across the republic if we didn't hand it all over. He took the ship we stole from the Void to escape as a transport for the crystals, then we found out he stole the payment for the job, too. The only thing we got for the entire deal was the Owl patched up. I think I'm going to have to vett Silhara's contacts before we move forward with any more of her jobs.
We're on route to Eriadu to meet up with the droid, and at least maybe get something out of that fighter. Something to make this week not a complete waste of time.
