"Of course, Emissary. I know many secrets to that Estate, as you have seen. My sire and grandsire both served as personal bodyguards to the Bulqs. I shall be honored to accompany and serve as bodyguard to both you and Sora. Though there is still the small matter of payment. I was previously paid a weekly stipend of one thousand credits while in the employ of the Bulqs."

Sora gives a nod.

"We are honored to accept your service, and shall resume your previous stipend."

"That's coming out of your share," mutters Bane.

"Very well," Ak-Yev bows, "I shall inform Vungo that I will be departing immediately."

OOC: Ak-Yev has joined the party.

"Beep-boopity-bleep-boop," beeps R5 after Ak-Yev has disappeared.

"Yes, he is a few wupiupi short of a trugut," Bane agrees grimly, "But that might actually work to our advantage, if we can find a way to rig that silly orb of his."

"Wupiupi?" Sora repeats blankly.

Bane sighs.

"Nevermind. Another Tatooine thing, apparently."

Sora stares blankly at Bane for a moment longer, before shrugging and turning to Zirak.

"I do not like the idea of playing along with his beliefs in this 'Quay' orb thing. I do this only because ultimately we need to stop this affliction of ours, and my estate may contain answers."

"Sora Bulq, are you implying you do not believe in the mighty Quay?" Zirak replies teasingly, "Tsk tsk."

R5 sniggers appreciatively.

Sora sends Zirak a dry glance.

"You're enjoying this whole 'Emissary' thing a little too much."

Zirak smiles smugly.

"Who doesn't enjoy having other beings in complete obedience? Of course, if you'd prefer him to be controlled by that orb of his instead, just let me know."

Sora remains unimpressed, but nods reluctantly.

"Just don't go overboard."

Zirak gives a sinister smile in response.

"All right," Sora breaks the silence after a few moments, "We have our way in, but we still need to plan what we will do once we are in the estate."

"Perhaps that discussion had best wait until we have returned to the ship," Bane says sharply, glancing at the nearby gamorreans and battle droids.

Sora follows Bane's gaze, looking skeptically back at the bounty hunter. However he shrugs and nods.

"Very well."

Ak-Yev reappears at that moment, striding once more down the ramp to meet them.

"I am ready, Emissary," he bows to Zirak.

"Good," Zirak says imperiously, turning and sweeping from the hallway, "We shall depart immediately. Quay does not like waiting. And what are you looking at?" he sneers at the devaronian on the way out.

The devaronian guard raises an eyebrow, but does not make any response. He continues to watch the party suspiciously until they are out of sight.

They make their way through the bustling and neon-lit streets. On many planets the unlikely group would draw considerable attention, but in Nar Shaddaa's Entertainment Sector they hardly warrant a second glance. Jizz music pours out of cantinas, along with laughter, shouts and the occasional sound of a blaster going off.

"Nar Shaddaa does have a certain charm, doesn't it?" Bane says pleasantly as they walk, stepping lightly over an inebriated bothan lying at the side of the skywalk and ducking a swoop bike as it flies recklessly past.

Sora sends him an incredulous glance as he narrowly avoids colliding with an inebriated twi'lek as she staggers past.

Zirak ignores them, striding confidently along the skywalk and glaring at those he passes, as if daring them not to get out of his way. The party goers about them seem to sense that Zirak is not a being to be messed with, and swiftly move aside as he passes.
