Re: Day 4/5 - Assassination
Krysten sighed, most of which was hidden behind her helmet, though the droop in her shoulders was slightly noticeable.
"You know what? Let's just do it. We're running short on time, and we need to have this go down at the same time as the rescue operation for our jetiise. I'll set the mine to detonate on a signal from my comlink, and we'll go from there. We'll have to see if we can kidnap this hutuun or if we are going to have to remove him from the Galaxy."
Her voice was flat, lacking some of the emotional inflections it had carried just a few moments ago. She wasn't mad at Arng, or Aadun or even anyone else in the group, she was just frustrated that, well, she wasn't blowing stuff up and killing things.
"I'm going to head out. You can..."
Her voice trailed off, and when she spoke again, no visual aid was required to hear the evil grin in her voice. She quickly turned to Aadun.
"Is there any way you could put together an official-looking anonymous bounty description for our target on a datacard? It doesn't have to be perfect, but it needs to be anonymous, and have a 'dead or alive, but pays more for alive' note. Don't use a Hunter's Guild seal, that could have repercussions the like of which we are not equipped to deal with. But I am a registered Hunter, even if I'm only classified as a freelancer. I need it in the next forty-five minutes to an hour, or it's not going to do us any good at all."
She turned to Arng.
"Head out to our ambush spot. Do your thing, learn the alleyways and whatnot. I'll be along with you as soon as I get the card from Aadun to plant the mine. For the purposes of this hunt, you're a newbie Hunter I've agreed to work with for the bounty. That'll make it that much easier to get him. And if the white-hats show up and he manages to die in the 'crossfire,' then it's just too bad, and better luck next time for two down-on-their luck Hunters.
"I'll plant the mine, you nail the driver, and at the same time I'll hit the back door with an explosive rocket. Then I'll launch a hollow-tip, knock out the people inside and we can get out of dodge."
