Things were getting more interesting by the minute. Being a smuggler and one that wasn't half bad had its good moments and bad. Jesra learned early on to deal with events as they were thrown at her. In stride and never show fear.
"You're an ambitious bunch I'll give you that. I don't know if it crossed your minds, but it's going to take more than just us to liberate this behemoth from this what did you say his name was...Mus't'fa?"
Jesra looked at each of the woman then back to Jaeriel as if she had two heads. "Just how many of you are on this station...wait, I don't really want to know that." She quickly brought her hand up to halt any forthcoming answer. And, at the same time realized the woman was serious.
"I'll probably regret this, but I'll help you out." She gave a nod and smiled at Jaeriel. There was something about her she liked. What Jesra hadn't a clue. "I don't suppose you've got a bunch of commandos hiding some where?"

Jaeriel smiled. "My dear Jesra," she said in that joking-condescending tone that was usually reserved for situations such as this, "we are a team of commandos." Drawing herself up to military attention, she saluted and said, "Jaeriel Skynia, formerly First Lieutenant in the Onyxian Army, Galactic Coalition." She dropped the salute and chuckled. "Allow me to introduce my team."
Pointing to the bank of computers, Jaeriel continued, "The stunning blonde in the corner there is Cynthia Dmitrius, our resident computer expert. She can hack anything, anywhere, and do things with computers that some of the best experts in the galaxy only dream of. Or at least so she says. She also says blonde is her natural color." Cynthia looked up and stuck out her tongue, but Jaeriel ignored her and continued.
"Your saviour today is Mika Lau, our resident K'tara expert. She moves faster than light and vanishes into the shadows like a Defel." The slight form of the girl nodded, her long black hair bairly moving with the motion. Her deep brown eyes were the only evidence of the danger that lay in those hands and feet. Jaeriel continued, "She's one of the best at what she does. Many a Black Dragon or Imperial officer has awoken to find his neck broken in the night."
The blonde who had accompanied Jaeriel stood and appeared as though she were about to speak. Her blonde hair fell to the middle of her back, and the skin-tight red jumpsuit she wore was open to the middle of her chest, evidencing that she was quite blessed. Jaeriel didn't let her say anything, though, instead continuing. "Here we have Alana Vlupteur, a Teras Kasi expert, and as dangerous an opponent you will meet unless you happen to cross a Sith or Jedi. She's also quite handy when human males need...convincing." Alana smiled at that.
Jaeriel moved on. "The dark-haired girl behind you is Jaqueline Stone, or as we call her, the Woman of Many Faces. She's an expert at infiltration, and a pretty handy shot with a blaster. Not to mention her skill at cutting up someone she doesn't like." The woman blinked, her dark eyes cold and calculating, the eyes of a killer. A pretty killer, but a killer nonetheless.
"Finally," Jaeriel continued, "we get to Ms. Amanda Bates, who can get through any locked door, no matter how secure. She tells me her brother worked as a bounty hunter for a time before he disappeared on Wayland some time ago. She got him out of more hot spots than even I probably know. Too bad he's not with us - I hear he was a great sniper. Might be good to have two of us in the group.
"And then there's me," she finished. "I can draw quickly and kill at close range or long. Personally, I favor a hyper-velocity bow - less noticeable. But a sniper rifle works fine." She smiled. "So, Jesra, now that you know us, feeling more confident about our abilities to do what needs to be done?"

Jesra was impressed, but remained cool about it, and any doubts she had about them being just a bunch of beautiful girls without a clue, or them turning her into the Empire were washed away. And they were beautiful. "Glad to see I'm in good hands." She looked back at Jaeriel and locked eyes with her, and shifted to a little less defensive posture. "Glad you clarified things, Jaeriel. I guess it's only fair you should know about me." Then she paused and grinned. "But, now that I think about it, you probably know more about me than I do. To make it short and sweet, I'm an 'all purpose' smuggler and pilot. For almost anyone.
They had it together, no question about that. And they were dangerous. Jes could see that right away. Best to stay on their good side until I get off this station where at least the odds will improve.
"I'll say I don't know much about this Scorpio Red that you mentioned. Other than they're someone I've been told to stay away from and my female intuition told me to do exactly that. Even I have my standards." She said with mild humor.
