As they travel through the ship they pass a number of troops in the same armor, some have their helmets off and they all look a like. "Are you troopers all clones" asked Magnus. "Yes all combat troops are clones in Saber corp security" answered one of their escorts. "Where are you grown? How long does it take? Asked Magnus. " classified " was all the trooper would say. Lyn elbowed him in the side and gave him a look that meant cut it out. "Here we are Mr Fett'ahd is inside". The door opened, the interior was a luxurious office decor at the desk stood a man with black hair greying at the temples reddish tan skin and bright yellow eyes he wore a custom suit styled after an officers uniform. " Greetings you must be the crew of the Luck Runner right on schedule good come in have a seat. I am Jun Fett'ahd I own Saber shipping and mining and Saber corp security. Would any of you like a drink?" "No we are fine thank you I am Lyn captain of the crew" she introduces the rest.
"Tell me Mr Fett'ahd what does a man with you resources want with us? " "Right to the point very well there is a ship carrying something from the unknown regions to Coruscant a relic of a ancient empire. I want it, one of my hobbies is collecting relics such as this." Excuse me but if its going to Coruscant its in the possession of either the Jedi or the senate most likely and your asking us to steal it thats piracy and its a serious crime in the Republic. We are going to need more before we consider this" said Lyn. A brief flash of annoyance crossed the mans face clearly not used to being questioned. " This information is sensitive and if you dont take the job what assurances do I have you will not go to the Republic and sell me out? " Lyn glanced at her crew Gor was concerned Keeg was neutral as always Magnus could barely contain his excitement at the idea of such a dangerous mission." You contacted us I assume you checked up on us and know we are professionals nothing leaves this room regardless if we take the job or not. "" Fine you are correct of course you come highly recomended. The ship is a Nebulon b II frigate it is carrying a relic of an ancient Sith empire that existed some 3500 years ago the leader of the mission is Jedi master Vor'en Kast also believed to be escorting the relic is Jedi knight Eeth Odak and their padawans." Shock ran through the crew Keeg whistled. "How do you plan on us taking on four Jedi?asked Lyn concerned. " Im sending my best commando unit with you delta squad will disable the engines and secure the relic while you take control of the bridge they will join you then and assist you should the Jedi put up a fight. "What kind of pay are we talking" chimed Magnus. "Magnus shut it. Excuse my young friend he clearly forgot his manners." It is alright this is a business deal after all" he said eyeing the young man as if he just noticed him and with some interest. "You will be paid One million ctedits now and four more when you deliver the relic." Again the crew was shocked but played it well. "How will we find this ship and how do we get close enough to board it? Asked Lyn. "I have intel on her planned jumps and my other capital ship Spectre will bring you to one of the locations where they will drop out of hyperspace and ambush them, in the chaos you will fly your freighter over dock with the frigate and secure the relic and bridge. Do we have an agreement?
Give us a second? Of course. He went to the bar and poured a glass of what appeared to be alderanian wine. Lyn again glanced at her crew they all gave her their secret gesture for yes. " We have a deal. "
"Excellent rendezvous here with the Spectre in nine days that should be enough time for you to get any supplies. I had my hangar crew fuel your ship. If I may Id like to speak with Magnus in private" Lyn shot Magnus a warning glance. Ok, she agreed. About an hour later Magnus returned to the ship"what did he want? Asked Lyn. "He wants me to stay behind and train with his men. He said he thinks it will be mutually beneficial". " I have a bad feeling about this, but a little military discipline would do you good. Fine but behave yourself dont cause trouble. " I wont I promise. " Magnus grabbed his things and ran back across the hangar. The Luck Runner lifted off and exited the colossal cruiser and jumped to hyper space. Nine days later they returned but instead of the Defender class destroyer a much more menacing ship greeted them it must be Spectre an Eclipse class super star destroyer painted all white like the Ghost but bigger and modified. In accordance with law its super laser was removed in its place a massive hangar bay running the length of the spine and on either side a gravity well projector. The comm buzzed to life "Luck Runner you are cleared to land". A display appeared on the scanner showing them the hangar cleared for them. Magnus was waiting for them with two guards. He called out to them as they exited the freighter he seemed different a little reserved maybe some of that military discipline Lyn hoped would rub off on him. " How was ypur training? Asked Keeg. Im twice the fighter I was before you will see. Sure you are young one laughed the Duros and rustled his hair like he always did. Later on they met with Jun they went over the plan and met the commandos that would join them. Jun invited them to the bridge for the jump to the bush they should arrive three hours before the Jedi frigate. The stars elongated and rotated into the familiar tunnel of hyperspace.
