The large Sharterran male nodded as he sat heavily back down at his desk. His daughter was seated comfortably on the large couch against the eastern wall her legs crossed and her right foot kicking lightly. Both pirates were dressed as they usually were, Togga in black combat pants, boots, and his long blue overcoat with the Black Star symbol on the back and an Admiral's insignia on the right shoulder forgoing a shirt planet side as he usually did.
Dar-Jeela was wearing a slightly modified version of the Black Star Mercenary uniform. Form fitting jumpsuit primarily black with white stripes down the front and back. But as she was sport blood red sleeves with a Captain's symbol on her right shoulder. They were both just as dangerous looking as Duke remembered them. And Jeela's jumpsuit made all kinds of thoughts flood Duke's brain but her shook them away and sat down with Aster.
"Sorry to drop in all shot up like this boss, and extra sorry for bringing any trouble with us." The Hacker was unusually respectful sounding, but you had to be when sitting in the same room as two of the most successful and dangerous Space Pirates in the quadrant.
Jeela chuckled lightly shifting her legs about. "My, my, you must be in trouble to being double sorry Solar. I am not recalling seeing you one time sorry."
Togga took a long puff on his cigar and sat back in his chair kicking his clawed feet up onto the desk. "It is being ok Duke, we are being used to things like this. We are Privateers and Mercenaries after all. But let us get down to tacks of brass." Pulling the cigar from his mouth he snuffed it in the ashtray. "First off we found the man who was dropping off boxes and shooting, but he was crunching poison pill before we could be getting him. Him aside though our sensors have been picking up blips of Galactic Alliance Ships, this is not being unusual they are patrolling our system all times. No Skorne though, still being with bounty is being difficult."
Jeela leaned forward on the couch clasping her finely pointed fingers before her. "That is being true, the updates you placed on your ship will be getting you past them. But as we are sure you are knowing, you will be needing to hide out for a time. We may be having a place for you, a small frontier colony called Resilience."
The father took back over. "Da, you will be needing to make few stops first though. First Carin's moon Barrow, there is being big crater locally called Zombie Bite. Big circle hole in ground with rocks making teeth. Be hiding there first."
Keeping up with the strange back and forth the pair of aliens were having Jeela stood up and handed Aster a picture of the crater. "Should only being day or so. From there being heading towards Tau Quadrant, from there be looking for small planetoid called Epsh. It is being wildlife planet, with only sentients being Rangers or galactic campers." She handed the picture of Epsh to Duke before going back to the couch.
"There." Togga began again. "You can be hiding for few days or one that is being up to you. Your last stop will be our homeworld actually, the planet of Piscia. We are still having family there so you will be safe. Be asking for my Nephew, Tah Gigot, he is being around Jeela's age and works as Stage Manager for the Tah Theatrical Company. Be then we are being sure ship will be needing fuel and you will be likely needing supplies. Gigot can be helping with both."
This time Jeela lifted up a comm pad and shot the coordinates and pictures to Duke's wrist comm. "From there it is being short space flight to Resilience. We are having trade post on planet run by my Uncle Dar-Zrogga, he is being crusty old fish, but like father he is being shrewd businessman with contacts that can help you find who is being out for you both. And he can be doing so without the Alliance hovering over shoulder."
Dar-Togga nodded at his daughter's last words then looked at the two young smugglers. "That is being all we can be doing without both Skorne and GA being able to track you. But being assured we will be inquiring as much as we can and anything we are learning I will be sending to Zrogga." He pulled out another cigar and nipped the end off. "Are you having any questions?"
