Darien looks around the table If that's everything, let's take a look at the items Lyn found, contact the Rangers for our payment and return the children to their home.

Do you want me to bring the items here, or will you come along with me?

Darien thought a moment, Bring them here, we'll consolidate everything and pack it up for the Rangers.

Very well, I'll return shortly.

He leaves the room with his head much higher than it was when you met him.

A few minutes later, he staggers back into the room carrying a suit of armor and barely managing to hold onto the blaster rifle. He sets the items down on the table and pulls a datapad out of his pocket. Here they are, he gestures to the items, the rifle, the armor, and the datapad.

The armor is an ornate affair, brown with gold trim, with a peaked crest rising up towards the back and flowing out and away from the helmet. The rifle is oddly shaped with a trigger handle angled above and towards the back of the weapon. It has the effect of making the barrel look far lower than it actually is. The receiver and chamber is unusual as well, positioned as it is above the barrel, rather than in-line and below. In spite of this, it maintains an elegant and flowing profile. The energy whip hilt has the same color scheme as the armor and the rifle, with ornate carvings and designs.

Zygerrian. Kara says in disgust, I guess we shouldn't be surprised considering what was going on at that base and the ship itself. Interesting.. the armor looks like the Royal Guard variant. She picks up the datapad and attempts to access it.. Tsk, got passed the initial security, but there is another level I can't get passed at the moment. She looks at Darien, Add slicer to the list of resources to accuire..

The very long list of resources to acquire. He gives a wry grin and says, Should we hand this over to the ranger now, or do you want to do any more poking around? He should be at the rendezvous within the next hour or two.

Kara considered the pad a moment. We can turn it over, but I'd like to know whats on the pad. Do you think the Rangers will share when they crack it?

Maybe, we were instrumental in its acquisition, after all. We can always ask.

Excellent, She smiles. Let's go collect our fee.

About an hour later, a battered Consular-class cruiser exits hyperspace and approaches the rendezvous. Roth Espio hails you and requests permission to dock.

Granted, Darien replies, Welcome aboard.

Once the ships dock, a slightly disheveled Espio strides onto the newly-christened Liberator . Good work. As promised, I am prepared to transfer the reward to you. If I remember correctly, that would be these two ships, a transponder scrub for both, 3,000 credits for the information and another 2,000 credits for killing one pirate captain and capturing the other. Too bad you killed the one I wanted you to capture. Aside from the prisoners, what have you got for me? Any cargo?

Cade raised his hand a little bit, I'm afraid that one was on me.. Turns out we have a.. history. Things got a bit personal.

Darien indicated Kara and Cade, Thorned Circle attempted to raid their home when they were children. It didn't end well for the raiders.

As for cargo, we have some of the former crews affects, and some items from the YV freighter. Zygerrian armor and weapons, plus a datapad. Kara managed to get past the initial security protocols, we were hoping you'd be able to share the contents with us.

Espio turns his attention to Cade, Ugh... You don't look so good. I've got a pretty good doctor in my ship, he's fairly busy right now, but he could tend to you shortly, if you so desire. As for killing the pirate, I don't hold it against you, if it were up to me, they'd all be dead. Unfortunately, we need their intel. Your information about Zygerrians correlates with what we've suspected for some time. My higher-ups will be very interested in the datapad, but I don't see why you can't take a look at it.

If you'll give them to my man here, he gestures to one of the red-shirt Judicials standing beside him, he'll take them for processing. He then turns to the rest of the fire team, You boys go get their prisoners, take 'em to the brig. He then turns back to Darien, Any objections? Anything else?

Nothing that I can think of. Darien admits, But if I think of anything, or if we come across anything involving the Circle , we'll give you a heads up.

Cade nodded his thanks, I can wait till your seriously injured get treated. He indicated Darien, And if you hear anything about them, we would be very interested. He said as Kara stood next to him.

Good. I will reciprocate to the best of my ability. I'll check with the doc and see when he can help you. If that is all, then, I'll be on my way. He tosses a lazy salute and turns around, heading back into the Consular, the fire team going about their assigned tasks (which, for one, involves standing still, waiting to have Zygerrian equipment piled on top of him).

Falmok hands him a duffel bag, Here you go, that should help.

He gives Falmok a grateful look and hastens back into the Consular as one of the others returns, Umm... would one of you help me unlock the cells?

Falmok shrugs, Sure thing. He follows the other guard to the cell area.

A couple hours after the meeting, Darien calls over the intercom, Paging Cade Marev, paging Cade Marev, the doctor will see you now. Cade, Espio just commed, he said that if you want some medical attention, you should go ahead and come now. They've also cracked the datapad.

On my way, be there momentarily.

A crew member escorts you to a crowded medbay where you are greeted by a very tired-looking middle-aged man who directs you to the operating table where he proceeds to treat you various injuries, applying bacta patches to the worst of the burns acquired from the electro-staff. Stang! Whoever you were fighting sure did a number on you. You're lucky you've got this armor. He raps lightly on one of the removed armor plates.

After patching Cade up, he steps back, Sorry I couldn't do more. Like I said, you've got some pretty bad burns there, lad. I'd advise you to take it easy for a while.

Thanks Doc, appreciate the help Cade says, patting the man's shoulder. Not sure if I can take it easy, but I'll try.
