Zorsia wakes up in a bacta tank after the fluids drained, and she sits upright on a edge as it opens up. She is inside of a small medical room, with equipment filling up a shelf beside the bacta tank, which takes up a lot of space in the room. She is very muscular, and has a huge scar on her back. A bug-eyed, RA-7 protocol droid walks into the room with some clothes in its hands.
"Ma'am. Your clothes are freshly cleaned." It says, speaking in an androgynous mechanical voice. "My scans are showing that you are still not fully recovered.""It will have to do." Zorsia said, taking the clothes and starting to get dressed. "We're running out of bacta and I should save it for when I really get hurt."
Her outfit is much more casual and less sophisticated than her normal dress that she wears, with camouflaged pants, a sleeveless top and a hooded poncho. Then she puts on some combat boots and slings a satchel over her shoulder and heads out. She is inside of a dark green YT-1300 Corellian light freighter, with the walls decorated with paintings and all kinds of different blasters. She exits her ship, the Myrewig, from a ramp underneath it, finding herself in the spaceport in a bustling ecumenopolis planet, Nar Shaddaa. Neon lights and flying speedercars everywhere in sight, and a vastly diverse flow of people from every walk of life there is. Zorsia puts her hood up, her hands in her pockets, and then she disappears into a crowd, blending in perfectly. Music and commercials, the noise of speedercars, the chatter of the people, it's a loud place to be. Zorsia doesn't quite like settings such as this, but she fits in well as she strolls on by, making her way to one particularly large skyscraper. A pointy, black building with aqua-green windows. There is a sort of moat, that is very deep, and there is a long bridge leading to the building's entrance. And Zorsia sneaks into the moat and finds an exhaust vent near the bottom. She puts on a breathing mask that includes goggles, and climbs into the vent. "Gross..." She mutters to herself, unimpressed with the filthy state of the steaming vent. She crawls through the building and ends up in a boiler room in the basement, and carefully climbs into the room, ducking behind huge, cylindrical water heaters to avoid being seen by a little Ugnaught worker coming by to check on things. Zorsia goes on completely unnoticed by the Ugnaught, and eventually gets into an elevator where she climbs up several floors through the shaft to reach a hallway a few floors up from the boiler room. In the elevator shaft, Zorsia pries the doors open with her hands, and just like she planned, the hallway is empty so she climbs into the hall and finds a women's locker room. There, she gets dressed into a worker's uniform - a strange, plastic, white coat that includes a hood and a face mask. Then she stuffs her own clothes in her satchel and leaves the unassuming bag in the locker room, planning to pick it up later. From there, Zorsia casually makes her way into a manufacturing room where lots of workers dressed like her are decapitating, gutting, and then removing the scales off of fish gathered from the water planet, Karakaris. The chiss walks over to a shipping port where small freighters dock on the outside of the building, with droids and workers moving cube-shaped crates into the facility, filled with more fish. Zorsia is disguised as a quality control worker, who watches the fish as they are poured into a big machine and placed neatly onto a conveyer belt, moving towards the other workers to get chopped up. She has a little device, scanning each fish to make sure they're all right for the next steps. And when a fish isn't right for various reasons, she throws it into a chum machine to be ground up for a different purpose. The chum is then poured into a cylindrical barrel, and after a couple of hours, it was full. At that point, Zorsia takes the barrel to a cold storage room, and once inside, she locates something in the barrel with the scanner, sticks her arm into the chum and pulls out a tiny computer chip that was small enough not to be damaged by the chum grinder.
"Stell Ryes here." She says into a worker's commlink. "I'm going to take my lunch break."From there, Zorsia makes her way into an empty break room, and quickly disappears into an air vent near the ceiling. The vent leads to a large, wide, cylindrical shaft with a few huge fans inside. There, she holds the fan blades still with the force, and then shoots a grapple gun to the top of the shaft and pulls herself up, safely through the blades. She continues climbing through the vents, and then finds a huge server room where all of the machines are being regulated by computers. There is a woman on a datapad in the room, looking over everything, and Zorsia stuns her with a very small, silenced blaster pistol, climbs out of the vent, hides her body and ties the woman up after stealing her uniform. Then, the devious Chiss infiltrater installs the computer chip into a central command motherboard server, and the entire building is suddenly completely disabled, and the servers start short circuiting and catching fire. From the security measures, to the chum grinder, and even the lights, the whole building has gone dark. After that, Zorsia makes her way to the very top of the building - with her current disquise as a server worker, Zorsia can just stroll on through as people think she is there to inform the boss as to what is happening. Which is only partially true. At the top of the building is a boardroom where the owners of this building would meet with each other and discuss business with others. Zorsia walks into a room with a huge, extremely tacky, black and aqua-green table that looks like a piece of modern art with matching chairs. And there are three men in the room on the opposite end as Zorsia: A tall, handsome, Umbaran man in a black and red suit with short, slicked back white hair, talking to a big, fat Kel Dor in a grey suit, and a Muun from the Separatists' Intergalactic banking clans. Zorsia destroys four security droids with her blaster after setting it to kill, and then shoots a couple more outside of the room. The Umbaran is totally unfazed while the others look panicked.
"What is the meaning of this?!" The muun says angrily, but with fear in his voice."I'm afraid it's time for this business to have a change in leadership." The Umbaran says with a deep, swav voice. "Feel free to sign the contract, now."
The business Zorsia just infiltrated and seemed to have completely ruined is actually an enormous money laundering scheme and one that has been hiding under Jabba the Hutt's radar. The Hutts are supposed to get a piece of all of the business done in the little section of the Galaxy called "Hutt space," and those who don't pay their dues are punished, with the severity of the punishment varying depending on how much money a Hutt is weaseled out of. In this case, nearly a billion credits are being moved around and falling into a Muun banker's pockets for the funds of the Separatists... Using the Hutt space business sphere to fund the Separatist alliance is one terrific offense, and it would make Jabba the Hutt look like a chump. So, in the current situation, the Kel Dor businessman running this fish food supplier company to launder money is faced with two options: Sign his business over to this Umbaran man who hired Zorsia to ruin him, or the Hutts figure out what he was doing and they brutally murder him, his family, and everyone close to him. The choice is obvious, and he signs the contract.
"A wise decision." Zorsia said smugly, walking over to the three businessmen. "Now... What to do with our Muun friend, hmm?"That Ugnaught from the boiler room is outside in the moat, taking out some garbage, and looks up, hearing the Muun banker screaming as he falls from the top of the building and lands in the empty, metal dumpster, splattering in the container upon landing. The Ugnaught worker doesn't care, and empties a garbage bin into the dumpster and moves on.
Back at the top floor, Zorsia walks into the room from a balcony, smirking.
"You will proceed as you were." The Umbaran says. "Except the credits you were giving to the Separatists, you now give to me.""But my systems are all clearly down." The Kel Dor says, incredibly frustrated with this treachery. "You've ruined this facility."
"That's already been accounted for." The Umbaran answered confidently. "New servers were sent on their way here to replace the ones Zorsia destroyed as soon as you signed the contract. They are also already equipped with the proper data to have my credits sent to my accounts prepared for this. All you have to do is just go on as you have been."
The Umbaran is named Urowen Qoirriar, and he is a ruthless businessman working with Takemura Izanami in one huge scheme to take over more territory in order to fund the Izanami corporation's goal of making Ryloth the leading superpower in the Galaxy. And recently, Zorsia was recruited as an agent to help keep things in motion. She is a superb agent capable of industrial espionage, and she is determined to make the Confederacy of independent systems pay...
