*Dahar heads to the market and finds the Jawa trader stall. There he negotiates for the power coupler he needs, grabs a spare just in case, and heads back to Docking Bay 37. As he approaches, his commlink buzzes silently with the alert signal indicating that there is trouble at the ship. Dahar draws his blaster and pulls his arm up slightly to conceal it in the folds of his robe. As he rounds the corner of the street in front of the docking bay, he sees 4 swoops parked out front A single Weequay dressed in black body armor and holding a blaster rifle stood out front scanning the street. As Dahar rounded the corner, the Weequay speaks into his commlink, gestures to Dahar, and shouts*
Weequay:
"You! Are You Dahar Fash?"
Dahar:
"Who might you be, friend?" Darah asked, continuing casually toward the hangar door
Weequay:
"Answer the question, Friend "
Dahar:
"My name is Luskon Drez. I do not know this Dahar you're looking for"
(TBC, Lost track of time and have a family thing going on this afternoon)
* 2 more thugs exit the hangar bay and look in Dahar's direction. Dahar continues walking toward them, noting that one has a blaster on his hip, and the other is twirling a vibroknife though his fingers. They wear the same black light body armor and all have an insignia Dahar is not familiar with and cannot make out yet on their shoulder.*
Thug 2:
"Who's this now? Is he the one we're looking for?"
Weequay:
"Says his name is Luskon Drez, but he sure looks like the one"
Thug 2:
"Oi, Luskon, come over here and have a chat with us."
Dahar:
"I've no time for this, I need to deliver these power couplings for my master, Quonthon Dossk of the Pyke Syndicate. Interfere with me and you risk the displeasure of the Pykes. I have already told your friend there I am not this Dahfar Dash or whatever his name is. Leave me to my business."
*Dahar put his free hand on his belt, resting it in plain sight so as to not alarm the thugs. As he did so, he pressed the side button of the commlink he had his hand on, which remotely triggered the docking ramp on the Dragon to retract and the repulsorlift thrusters to power up. Several blaster shots could be heard from inside the hangar, as well as another voice shouting. The 3 thugs outside grabbed their comms, had a hurried conversation, and all went inside the hangar, leaving Dahar standing alone on the street.*
Dahar (to his comm):
"R5, status report"
R5-X9:
"4 bandits outside the ship. They did not come on board, but they are definitely looking for you. Weapons and shields are offline, but I have mag sealed the hull and am diverting plasma exhaust across the hull plates. They're in for a shocking experience if they get within a meter."
Dahar:
"Ok, keep them distracted while I figure out what to do with them."
*Dahar raced up to the hangar and quickly looked over the swoops parked outside. There were no identifying items on the bikes, but they gave Dahar an idea. He quickly powered one up, pulled it out into the street, and pointed it at a building about 100 meters away. Syncing his comm to the machine's autopilot, he crossed the street to a doorway with deep shadows and crouched down.*
Dahar:
"R5, power down the repulsors. I need the thugs to be able to hear noises outside."
R5-X9:
"Roger."
* Dahar heard the repulsor engines start to wind down, and after a few seconds could hear the shouts from the group of thugs inside. He grabbed his datapad and revved the engines on the swoop a couple of times, then sent it flying down the street toward the wall. Just as it was about to collide with the wall, Dahar put 2 shots from his blaster into the engine, causing it to explode on impact.
The noise and commotion brought all 4 thugs outside, and they quickly jumped on the remaining swoops and shot off down the street to investigate. As soon as they passed his hiding spot, Dahar made his way swiftly to the docking bay. Reaching it safely, he shut the street door and engaged the maglock.*
Dahar:
"R5, drop the ramp. Let's get out of here"
*The ramp on the Krayt Dragon lowered and Dahar dashed on board, raising it behind him. R5 kept the repulsor engines online and plasma charging the hull while Dahar made the repairs to the power coupler. He could hear banging on the street door as he was finishing up, followed by the booming thud of an explosion. As he headed for the cockpit, he could see the 4 thugs storming back into the hangar.*
Dahar:
"R5, power up, Bring forward laser cannons online. Lets give our friends something to think about."
*Dahar firewalled the repulsor engines and the Dragon lifted off the pad. Once she was hovering, Dahar kicked her around to bring guns to bear on the surprised thugs. A quick burst of canon fire had them diving for cover. Dahar Pushed the Dragon up out of the docking ring in the roof, and blasted her out away from the spaceport toward orbit.*
Dahar:
"I've had about enough of Tatooine, let's get out of here R5."
R5-X9:
"Roger. Laying a course for Dantooine"
*Cut to orbital space as the Gauntlet fighter KRAYT DRAGON rises from Tatooine, orients in space, and jumps to hyperspace.*
