Return to Tallaan

  It was good to return to planet Tallaan and even better to be arriving a day early. Always early, being on time could get you killed. I missed the Orris Nature Preserve and its unique nature "run". I was not worried about signing the hold harmless in case I got myself killed, ha they should have the wild life sign a hold harmless from me, I smiled. For a few extra credits I could spend half a day cutting completely loose. It reminded me of Cathi, but without the baggage and tears of years lost. The rest of the day I visited the Mariosa Market and especially watched the Bounty Brokers office.
  Early, not dead!
 

Meet with the Bounty Broker

  Nyx slides into the office with confidence and ease taking in the room with a glance. Not really uncomfortable, but she would rather be on her ship controlling the direction she was hurtling through space herself or running loose in the wild. This would mean one or more crew which was a mixed blessing. She really needed to establish a more routine crew for her ship but they became so annoying over time. Oh well she would have to house break them in again. Oh and the really important thing, she was broke again, and not only broke she owed even more on the ship now.
  She needed this job, in a big way.
  She subconsciously vectored her chair about 45 degrees so she could see the door and the broker, why were offices designed this way. Jogged from her thoughts she nods as a Thisspiasian glides into the room. She smiles at him, "better late than dead!?"
  She sat patiently her tail twitching as the broker explained the bounty. Smiling at the Thisspiasian when he commented, she turns back to Bi-Tai Iltrek, "Mr Illtrek, you have selected well. I am confident that we will clear up your ghost-ship issue."
  "That must be the data we will need. I would like schematics of the the freighter which I assume are already included on there and a prior history of the ship please. Will Mr. Filgron be our point of contact? Are we the only team that has been commissioned?
  Looking back at the Thisspiasian, "what questions do you have?"

Meetings End - Adventures Begin

  "You are correct. If I worried about all the people I have upset over the years I would not get much done. We accept Mr. Iltrek and thank you for selecting us." She slashes a glance at Kipo when he mentions the split, "shall be grab a snack and discuss our details." She turns back to Bi-Tai waiting for the chime of the bounty to be assigned, and the half forward deposit to become active. She stands stretching her entire body, mentally ticking off the ship supplies she can now afford. "Good day Mr. Iltrek." A glance and a smile as she notes her companion is at least a foot taller than she is.
 

Sip & Snack

  She glances at "Jane", seems he is tech savvy and prepared. This may be better than the last people she worked with.   Grabbing a hightop table in front of a street vender she makes introductions of herself and asks about Kipo while ordering a Suushan Milk.

  She lets out a sigh of pleasure, while making a deck of cards appear from almost nowhere. "So the split, which I would normally handle different with a full crew. However since we are essentially a two person team we have options and flexibility." She adeptly peels off three cards. "Fifty-fifty sounds great, after the ship has been supplied from a 50% base and up. Anything below 50% is my concern, anything above 50% comes from the cut first. So you can think of the Bitter Luck as a partner." She flashes a grin.   Not wanting to discuss details in public she bites off the rest of what she was going to say about the bounty and focuses on her milk with a purr, tail flickering in delight.
 

On Board the Bitter Luck

  Boarding the Bitter Luck she give Kipo the 1 credit tour. "Plenty of room and quarters for whatever is needed. She is really a ship for a larger crew, well maybe one day."

  Later during preflight she tosses a digital file your direction detailing some slang that can help us in a pinch. "This has saved my tail more than once. There is also the basics on the ship for you to become familiar and your authcodes for gunnery, copilot and other necessary systems."

  She flashes the data chip provided by the broker through a isolated contained scan in case there are any unknown surprises, and then will load the details into the ships system.   "Now that we are secure what's your thoughts on the Ghost Ship? Maybe the rogue techs were working on something cutting edge and they couldn't finish. Maybe they left back doors in the system, or even better they are still there off the grid. Or is it the Hutts hiring specialists to plague Nova?"   She plots a course to the Shipyard, waiting to the last minute to send a communication to Mil Figron letting him know of our arrival. "Be early and catch everyone off guard." She say aloud but almost to herself.

She was about ready to answer Bi-Tai when her ears laid back at the sound of metal on metal tapping. She hissed out "Plan and Flow" as she sprang to her feet. Byx darted out the door behind Kipo looking for a route to get these little ease droppers. Nyx assessed the street and rooftops stopping a few paces from Kipo before returning her gaze to him. He was obviously fast on his fe ... tail? "Roofs are great and I love to chase", dashing towards Kipo at a breakneck speed lining herself up for what looked to be a seriously strong boost.   Past Reflections
Saranier looked at his adopted daughter as she pulled back on the flight controls. "Plan the flow and flow with the plan. the flow always changes and the plan must always change. Nyx glanced at him with a look of half understanding. "Then why plan at all, just make every choice last minute" as she banked the ship unexpectable. Saran smiled trying to keep his stomach from doing summersaults. "We plan so we know when and where the flow changes, so we know when and where to change with it. Plan and Flow!"

"What the @#^%#$ of all the #$&$^%* things, those little ^%&*^% squibs. When I get my $%^*&% claws on them, grrrrrrrrrrr".
  As I hang by one hand I quickly glance about hoping for a large public fountain or maybe a vender cart with hydro-carbonated sugar water (soda) that could melt this gooo quickly. Trying to remember what my adopted family said when they used these $#^&%$%*&^% goo goof ball %^*&^%& nets.
  "My fur is never going to be the same again."

Please let me know what my options are here or if it's just some type of physical test to get loose. Including something like asking Kipo to blaster some of the excess away (shhhhhh terrible idea).
