Above tatooine within the huttese cruiser the Rancor's Fist, Fennec Shand enters into a conference room where Bossk, Dengar and Boba Fett sit around a large hologram showing the wider galaxy, the latter scrolling through a holographic list-
Fennec glances over at Bossk and Dengar, "They will do nicely."
Bossk hisses slightly as Dengar sits up slightly, "Oh? You must be Fett's first recruit, eh? And here I thought we were bringing back the old gang-"
Shand ignores her and turns to Boba, still scrolling through a list,
"I've gotten some usual data from the mayor- full schematics of the palace and the operations of Bib's empire."Boba turns his helmeted head at her, "Did you take care of him?"
Fennec frowns, "Shaiz is locked in his office- no way to communicate- if he tries to escape, the whole building goes up in flames- he might still have his uses."
Fett remains silent before muttering, "How strong are Fortuna's defenses?"
Fennec switches the main hologram to show a full layout of the palace,
"Quite extensive- the main and hangar entries have durasteel gates and ray shields- but there is a hidden tunnel through a sewage pipe- I wouldn't consider the dungeon gateway- whatever beasts Bib has blocking that path."Bossk grumbles, "I could handle any dungeon beast-"
Dengar glances over the entrances, "So three ways in... all those defenses and an additional couple hundred guards- I can't how we can get through all that alive."
Fett then speaks up, "We can't... not just the four of us. Once we have six members, two can attack at each entrance simultaneously- that should do the trick."
Dengar excitedly stares at Boba's list, "Who else are you considering mate? Embo? Sugi perhaps?"
Fett replies,
"I looked for Embo- he's disappeared after the war ended- I can't track down Sugi either."Dengar waves a hand, "I'll see if I can contact someone who know them-"
Fennec glances over the list, "Black Krrsantan could be useful..."
Bossk growls out, "If you invite that wookiee, I walk-"
Boba reluctantly nods, "Even if I wanted to, Krrsantan has a tight contract for a hutt- I don't want to catch any unnecessary attention."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Garballa shouts out from the side until Fennec draws out her sniper rifle and murmurs, "Any reason why we're keeping this around?"
Boba raises a hand, "This hutt here has his uses- there are other bounty hunters- I'm already considering our friend from nevarro-"
Shand lowers her rifle and sighs, "We could use a bounty droid to bypass the security systems... I would suggest 4-LOM, but you reported that Zuckuss won't join and the two are often paired together..."
Bossk sits up, "I heard Highsinger's still operating- we might be in some hot water with the droid gotra, but if given enough creditsss-"
Boba interrupts him, "That will not be necessary... Highsinger's not an option- and thats final."
Fennec gives Boba a concerned stare before Dengar shakes his head,
"It's a shame some of the best of us are gone... Aurra Sing, Boushh and Latts Razzi I suppose..."Fett then gets up, "Are you certain she's dead?"
Dengar shares a reluctant look,
"Ever since she ran off to run her own syndicate she's been off the grid- then around the time the Empire fell, her syndicate vanished too- she'd be impossible to find anyway..."
