Star Wars: Shadows of Darkness

[thenightcat]

The freighter streaked through the atmopshere with a grace that seemed out of place for its batteres worn appearence.

Easing down into one of the manny deep canyons it settled onto a rock outcropping the co2 vets sraying thier thick mist over the smoth worn rock.

((I am going to hold a little bit on the descrip of who meets her as there have been alot of talk about bringing on another charecter here, so someone confirm in plots section and post it in here))

Padmé felt the slow drag on the ship as it dropped out of hyperspace, dipping back into normal speeds. She secured herelf into a seat inher own chamber as it quivered slightly while re-entering the atmosphere, and the final jolt as it landed upon the surface of the planet. Rapidly her mind went through the various planets she had seen or read about, trying to remember what it was she should expect in this location. Something about canyons, she remembered, but the purpose for them was unclear. Finally she fastening her harness and stepped into the remainder of the ship, finding it suddenly vacant. Chewbacca and Tayell must have already left.

Snaking through the weaving passageways of the ship, she reminded herself to try and forget the heated conversation she had had with the Captain a few hours previous. She had forgotten herself momentarily, and had not considered the consequences of her words. Now her quiet subservience would serve as an indirect apology. After all, she could not justify outright saying that the words were not meant in earnest. She wholly believed everything that she had said, and would make no apology for their meanings. She would only apologize for the way in which they were said.

She now looked much more the part of a common citizen, having changed into a suede-colored top and dark brown pants with tall black boots coming just beneath the knee. The hair was worn in a less elaborate style, falling in loose curls down to the small of her back. She could only hope that those they encountered here were not politically aware.

Finally she reached the bay doors, left open with a cool and dry air blowing in through the ship. Carefully she walked down the ramp, her eyes squinting from the sudden influx of natural light. Stepping forward, she stood silently beside Tayell and Chewbacca, wondering what exactly the nature was of the cargo they were transporting here.

She had watched, she had waited.

The elusive Sith knight, former student of Dooku himself, grew tired of waiting. She hungered once more the hunt, the kill, the victory. And now, word through the grape vine was, a very prominent person was soon to be coming. But the information was vague as to how prominent and who. So she had to wait, and watch, and figure out just who it might be.

Sev'rance Tann played along, talking to some other dock workers as the ship came in. She looked like any other Chiss, misplaced on this world. But subtly she watched the ship, and waited. And once everyone was off, she would make her move.

Catching sight of the Chis, Tayell assumes this might be her contact. After all they dont make it out this way too often. "Hey, 'scuse me." she called out. "Are you the one I'm supposed to get to sign off on this cargo?"

As she yelled across the bay she waved casualy with one hand, the other hanging off her blasters grip as she leaned against the landign strut of her freighter.

Upon seeing the stranger tayell was talking to, Chewie stepped in front of Padm0223, feeling a weird vibe from the chiss. then he checked to make sure the modified bowcaster was in reach, he growled a warrning to Tsyell....

[Ghanima]

((Yes, well . . . I have nothing to say as of yet, so feel free to continue without me until something happens to which I would actually need to react.))

[thenightcat]

Not getting anything yet, except that her attention had been instinctivly drawn the the strange chiss. Tayell had been telling herself it was just because she seemed out of place here. But she had a similer grim feel to her as many of the people these kind of cargo go to.

"What is it big guy? You know her?"

[Dark Imagery]

Tann looked up from her conversation, gave the girl an odd look, waved her off, then went back talking. It would do little good to have herself discovered so soon in the game.

[thenightcat]

Accepting that the chiss must then be here for other buisness, she approched one of the dock managers.

" 'Scuse me, " she said to him "I'm supposed to drop off some freight, there should be some peole waiting for me." she told him handing a pad with registration info to him.

Soon her contact should be here and then they'd be able to unwind for a few before leaving with another cargo or a trip to tattooine for the care and feeding of her loan shark.

[Dark Imagery]

The Chiss waited til they were all distracted, and slipped from the group she was talking to. Using the skills of her Sith training, she managed her way aboard Tayall's ship to see exactly what was being carried.

[thenightcat]

((several sealed crates, the outer layer of stuff is misc tech components, lower down are republic weapons. This is only evident if you break open the seals which have not incidently been opened yet))

[darth exodus]

(( IN CASE YOU ARE THINKING THAT iAM USING META-CARACTER THINKING, I'M NOT (woops capslock...) the reason chewie knows something is wrong is because he knows Carthel and senses the dark side of the force... .etc. oh, that and he's a wookiee (wookiees aren't very trusting are they?))

[thenightcat]

((I just though a latent might subconciously be drawn to a force user much as i had her finding anikins intensity so weird still is just shrugging it off as standing out becuase she is an odd thing to see here))

[thenightcat]

As the dock worker meandered off she began roudning up porters seeing who was free and what lifting droids could be used. She always perfered when a client wa right there waiting but her schedual had been pretty open ended on this job.

She paced about on the stone dock floor her feeling of something being wrong growing by the minute.

[Ghanima]

((I still don't serve much of a purpose here, so I'm sorry that this will be short))

Padmé stayed stationary, watching as the droids and aliens scurried about, unloading the inidentifiable cargo. She could see that Tayell was anxious about something, her discomfort rising continually, but the reason for it was unclear. Momentarily she considered asking, but quickly decided against. Unnecessary conversation was ill-advised at this point. It was difficult to tell when it would spark conflict.

Her eyes traveled up the walls of the deep rocky cannons, seeing just a thin band of pale green on the surface. This planet was unusual, in geography and inhabitants. The small docking hands were almost comical in appearance, and their strange noises intrigued her. But the tall thin beings who seemed to be the authority were almost disturbing in appearance. Their gray skin with almost . . . grooves in the face was unusual and their sharply pointed teeth made them more frightening. She had encountered worse . . . far worse. But they left her distinctly unsettled. But then, the true source of her discomfort did seem to coming from something elsewhere . . . ellusive. Perhaps that was the reason for Tayell's nervousness.
