Astrid watches, as Insanire disappears into.. Her heart is still racing, as all the dark lord's constructs fall apart. Can this really be over..?
"Zyi!" Her face creases into a genuine smile for a moment, but his query echoes her own unease. "Maybe..?" Can Insanire truly be gone?
The scene is surreal, as the commandos move through, securing the area. Astrid holsters the holdout blaster she had drawn, and retrieves her Lancer, inspecting the scope for damage.

2 purple 1 black there's quite a few people milling about, but have a blue dice too
Helping herself to Zyi's flamethrower, Astrid strides over to what's left of the giant heart. Curiosity compels her to probe through the gory mess, before incinerating it.

it screeches in pain, seems it was still "Living"
The officer walks up to Astrid " I said WE had it, Get out of here before you do more damage, Or I put you in cuffs for destroying Republic Classified materials "

Bennar is enraged, who was this officer to threaten us, the ones who saved the galaxy? STAND DOWN SOLDIER! Where was the republic while this monster was ravaging worlds? Right of conquest belongs to those who defeated the monster; that was us, not the Republic if you didn't notice. Astrid is a hero, and you WILL show her, and the others here the respect we deserve. Now if you apologize nicely and perhaps can get this "Republic" to say....fund a few of Astrid's archeological expeditions, I'd say we could forget about your loose lips and might even be willing to share some of the spoils here.

The Officer's face hardens and says Quietly " Brother the day you were able to order me is long gone. Take your Friends and bug out, before you are in a world of pain. My authority is absolute here, but if money is all you want 200,000 credits should ensure your... loyalty.... Yes You always did like money... NOW GET OUT!, Before my generosity ends"
"And leave That," he points at Dr Anderson
you note that several more squads have arrived, which begin to take up position

Edric, you know full well that's not true. Honor is more important than money; we experienced that this is not the case for others first hand when we were betrayed all those years ago. The money is appreciated, but watch yourself if money is how you buy loyalty. Your soldiers will turn on you for the next highest bidder like our comrades did in the last war we fought together. Are you so jaded by time that you do not remember this? Respect is how you garner loyalty. The Edric I knew understood that at one time. I will go, but here is my contact information if you ever need me. It was good to see you are still alive.
(well might have royally messed that potential ally up, but hey at least we got paid.)

"Colonel Harman is this Mercenary bothering you" a trooper asks
" No, They are H eroes, If unconventional ones "
Yup heroes... When do I get my parade?
Zyi says spitting a bloody peice of phlegm on the trooper's boots.
"Your sum may suffice, for our immediate needs, but I presume Zando, Inc will continue to operate as some sort of defense or intelligence shell corporation? We will continue our endeavors, as we see fit, relying upon the company's backing and considerable resources. Consider us consultants, on retainer, if you like. Send it up the chain of command, if you need to."
Astrid looks over at Dr Anderson. "And Zyi and myself will be on the team debriefing the cyborg."
"We'll be on our way, for now." She proffers the flare gun that she had previously been issued, handle first. "Don't hesitate to signal, if you run into anything scary."

18 guns are pointed towards Zyi, " wanna Apologise Freak? " the trooper says
" let them Go, there's been enough death, for now, My advice, DR Don't make demands... Take your money.. and go Before I decide your Unique skills cost too much. Your Sevices for debriefing are NOT needed, Don't push your luck. You have a ship, Full of Priceless artefacrts... Im sure you can equally make triple what I'm giving you on Nar Shadda"
" Zando Corp has fallen, or are you unable to read the news "
If you headback to the ship there is a large hut waiting with several Mandalorian clones, waiting for you.
Edited by AprilMay have overplayed our hand, just a bit.. Belatedly, Astrid realizes that Zyi actually just spat on the troopers boot!?
"Please excuse my friend, here. It is a display of respect, in Omwati culture.." Zyi nearly chokes at her explanation, and goes into another coughing fit.. no doubt preparing for an even more prodigious display of expectoration... "No, friend. Further demonstrations are truly not necessary, at this time." Nope. They're not buying it...
Seeing the guns still trained on Zyi, she speaks out. "While you guys were catching up on the latest business news, this freak jumped onto the back of a self-professed god, to help save us all." And they really let Zando fall..? A missed opportunity, I would think. "And yes. There has been quite enough death, here."
( @April how far from where we are to the ship?)

About 5-10 minutes, there's basically soldiers, and speeders willing to take you towards the spaceport.
Yorik had been resting on his knees and silently giving thanks to his ancestors, his training, the Force, Durrak's diskblade, Astrid's quick thinking, Shard's creativity, Bennar's skills, and anyone and anything else that had seen fit to keep them alive and actually help them defeat such a great evil. After plunging his saber into Insanire's form, Yorik had felt a sick sort of despair and prepared himself for death when he looked so closely into that monster's eyes. To be alive now was clearly a miracle and he knew it.
After moments of prayer, reflection, and relief, he finally became aware of the hubbub surrounding him and his compatriots. He rose quickly and pocketed his lightsaber then walked over to pick up Confidence and sling it over his shoulder before joining the others in helping Shard make it back to the ship.
"Thank you for this reward, sir," Yorik said diplomatically as he quickly pocketed the 200,000 worth of Credits on the card being proffered to them by Bennar's brother. "We'll be on our way now and thank you again for extending the rank of Colonels to us. We'll head back to the ship and leave you to the business of cleanup."
*Sar Agorn, are you anywhere close by?* Yorik thought as he silently extended his mental awareness. Now that the danger was past, the group needed to get away in order to be able to rest, regroup, and make decisions as to where to go and what to do about the many loose ends that still needed to be tied up.
Moving to help shoulder the weight of his injured companion despite his own injuries, Yorik grinned at Astrid as she and Bennar struggled to move Shard while he kept cursing despite doing so through his blood-specked frothy fits of coughing.
"I'm thinking we need a nice, long, quiet, and boring vacation after this. What do you guys say? A watery planet with lots of beaches... where nothing could possibly go wrong!"

There's no Answer... In fact, it seems there's an absence of something.
As you approach your ship, The Hutt is there " my friends, My Friends... Shard it is good to see you boy!, Do you remember Old Rico? , YES, Yes I'm sure you do "
"Your eyes deceive you. There are no boys here."
4 minutes ago, Edgehawk said:"Your eyes deceive you. There are no boys here."
" Rico sees your Taste in friends is just the same.... Come, come We have something important to discuss... "
And that's when we start the new adventure: --- Fear and Credits In Naa Shadaa
If new people want to jump in, now is a great time, if people want a hiatus that's cool
