Guirun stood up. The conversation just down the room from her had caught her attention. A salvaging operation seemed like the perfect way of getting going again, ever since that Hwoon dahn on the Spiraculum Vitae had gone and done a second story job, and she ambled closer to find out more.

Alex nodded. Minor explosive with a remote detonator would suffice. Just to insure we get the rest of this. He waved the envelope with the cashy money for effect, giving Xavier a grin before stuffing it into his pocket. Not too much info on the ship itself. Old heritage transport went down years ago. Company the owned it probably never even bother to lok for it. Likely just wrote it off on their insurance. I don't expect to run into much trouble of the two-legged kind. He was vaguely aware of a person having gotten up and moving toward their booth. His mind sifted through the possibilities. Could be trouble, or a rival salvager looking to cash in on the job, then again it could just be a patron leaving or a drunkard who ran out of booze and was after a refill. Alex felt a man could never be too careful. We can go over the specifics later. Now's not the best time or place. Walls having ears an all. He leaned back in his chair, wiping sweat from his brow a gain. Shall we order some food while we're here? Gonna be a bit of a hike on an empty stomach. Even with a ride out. whaddya say? My treat?

Xavier rumbles with laughter at Alex's initial respond and nods, You know that's right up my alley. Watching that envelope being waived quickly before his eyes he grins and nods, That all sounds shiny to me. He leans back a bit and stretches, Sure, sure. he turns his head a bit to glance around at whom all could be listening and then back at his cohort, You sure you want to be paying for my meal? and before Alex could respond Xavier smirks, Better hope I don't bust your wallet. Just hope this gorram place has tea too. |

That envelope had looked like it contained a small fortune. And that was just the advance payment. Intrigued, Guirun stepped up to the table where the two men sat. The small one scowled at her, suspicion plastered all over his face, where as the big one just stared blankly past into the far distance. Couldn't help but over hearing that you to had a job in this area. I worked around here for a while, might be able to help out. 'long as you cut me in on the profit that is. She felt like she was about to throw up. All that money, and if they said no she had no idea what to do. It wasn't like she could just rob this pair. The small one didn't look that tough, but his friend more than made up for that. And she couldn't just rob random people when it was them she had wound up here trying to help. So what do you say? |

Xavier tilts his head towards the red headed woman that approaches himself and his friend with a slight scowl, stating bluntly It aint polite to listen in on people's conversations... His gaze looming over Guirun as if sizing her up, he's learned just because they're small doesn't mean they aren't packing an equalizer. The large man glances back at his friend to see Alex's reaction. Edited by Silvox, Sep 30 2012, 07:55 AM.

Alex arched his brow at the brazen woman, giving a light nod after Xavier spoke his piece. He gave her a once over while he mentally processed this new face and potential use she might have. A self satisfied smile creeped across his face. Not the menacing or belittling sort but the sort of smile that comes with a natural charm. You don't look like a criminal and by the looks of your hands, I'd wager you ain't a salvager. Pretty bold move walking up to two strangers in a bar like this on such a backwater rock. That tells me you're in some dire need of coin. He gave his buddy a glance before leaning over to pull over a chair for the woman. You're asking us to take a cut in our shares though so why don't you have a seat and tell us what you bring to the table. Dangerous work, ours is. |

Guirun slid into the offered chair. She hadn't really thought they would even give her a chance to get a cut of the cash, but she was desperate. Better get this right then. This jobs as dangerous as you make it sound then you'll be needing someone who knows their way around this little corner of paradise when it goes bad, and as I ain't seen either of you around then I'm guessing that slot hasn't been filled yet. Guirun felt a trickle of sweat run down her face till it met the scar, caused long ago and in another life by a sniper with a bad aim. Not that she held it against him. Leaning back in her chair she fixed the smaller man with a steely gaze. As to the danger, I ain't unaccustomed to violence. And my reasons for being here, well I just want to help the folk out here and you need cash for that. Guirun prayed it would be enough. So am I in or not. |

Alex narrowed his gaze at the woman. For someone desperate for cashy money she didn't seem to have much to offer yet in his mind. Well, Darlin', I'm not partial to being shot at or having to shoot a man but this line of work sees a fair amount of it. He waved a hand in the general direction of the jungle not terribly far off. I doubt your knowledge of the area is gonna be of much use out there. We know where we're going and how to get back out. So far I don't see much of a position in our little team. 'less you've some skills that would be of more help. |

Xavier grasped the edge of the table with his left hand while he listens to the two Alexes speak about if the woman would join them. He narrows his gaze at her and simply asks, Are ya tryin' to set us up? He looked back at the other man with an angry look on his face. |

Guirun groaned inwardly. This was not going well. I was a medic in the war so i can take bullets out of you just as well as I can put them in others. She turned to the big brute on the other side of the table. If I was going to set you up I wouldn't have come over here now. I would just have gone up to the ship and bushwhacked you as you came out with a bunch of my friends who are just as keen to get their hands on some cash as I am, and taken the merchandise off you without risking my own neck in that ruin. Turning back to the smaller man she noticed he was considerably less smiley now than at the start of the conversation. As for getting out what if you need to take a detour, from whoever might be doing the shooting. Do you know where the caves are, where you can get lost in the undergrowth, where the hidden streams are? I do. Do you know where there might be people willing to hide you? I do. You run off into that jungle, likely as not you ain't coming out 'specially laden with this oh so valuable cargo. Which is fine if everything goes shiny, but what if it don't. And on the same train of thought I refer to the afore mentioned medic training. |

The large man tenses and grits his teeth at the way the woman talks to him, Who's sayin' we'll be shot at out there? You have three secs to start talkin'.. His large mitt clutching the table and digging the thick digits into the wood as he half glances at his cohort for some semblance of a cue to action.

Alex held up his hand to Xavier. Easy X. Let's not lose our heads now. No sense getting a bar fight started here. He turned his attention back to the woman. I already have plans in place to avoid just such a fiasco. This isn't our first job. Now you'd best simmer down. We don't even know your name and talk of bushwacking us with these friends of yours doesn't exactly give us any reason to trust you. |

All right now that was a little better. Though next time she should learn not to just blurt stuff out. It really didn't work. OK. My names Alex Guirun. And if you reckon your plans are fine then fair enough, i just thought it seemed like a mighty large amount of money to through away, just cause you didn't have someone who knew the area. I don't want a large cut either, just enough to get me going again, which given the size of that envelope for the advanced payment, I'm guessing won't take to much of a chunk out of your profits. |

X looks over at the Alex he's known for years and relaxes, just a slight bit, still holding the table tightly while he places a hand in his lap and lets the two discuss things, watching the woman intently. |

Alex relaxed a bit, a hint of his smile returning. That's more like it. Nice to meet you Alex. I'm Brandiff Alexander Kerwin the Third but only my mother and the feds call me that. Everyone else just calls me Alex. He motioned toward Xavier with his hand before continuing. And this is my associate and business partner, Xavier. He allowed Xavier enough time to quip in as he chose before continuing again. Now. I suppose we could find use for another hand. Now don't think that this means we trust you. Man can't trust much of anyone these days. Don't go thinking you're privy to all the details of the job either. We bring you along and do this job, we part ways. this ain't permanent like. Now just how much coin do you need to get outta this job? |

Right, this was getting much better. It was good that the smaller man, Alex, was smiling again. I don't need much, just enough to keep my self going for a couple of months. Say 5000 Creds. And I'm fine with not knowing anything. I Just need the cash. |

Xavier continued to scowl as he released his grip on the table and sat back just a touch, watching the two smaller folk discuss the details of what the woman would be getting and knowing. He piped up, Just call me X, no need for formal names. he mentions, still giving a distrustful gaze upon the female Alex. |

Well at least the giant didn't seem to want to just kill her out of hand any more.7 Good to meet you X. Guirun turned back to Alex, who was obviously the brains of the operation. So when are we going to do this job? |

Five grand it is then.... He looked over to his buddy before continuing. Out of my share. Alex leaned back and looked out the door of the dingy old bar and nodded. Soon as our transport gets here. Barkeep will let us know. I've already arranged for rations and equipment to be loaded up as well. |

Well that was a surprise. It seemed like maybe this Alex guy wasn't as bad a character as she had first thought. Right. Well I've got stuff to pick up from my room. My med kit and stuff like that. It's just a couple of streets from here. You don't trust me, you can come as well. Guirun stood and turned for the door, Imagining to sound of the wind and the forest around her. It would be good to get out of here, finally. |
