Down to Business, getting my faction on it's feet.
  • Posted On: Sep 26 2002 4:32pm
I stood in my new H.Q a moment looking at the empty walls. It was larger than the last but it seemed plain. The Black Nebula have had Head quarters on almost every highly populated planet in this galaxy, but now they Finally found the mother of all places to Run a crime Syndicate. Few people walking around, agents, my personal staff, Getting there offices togeather. I walked up to my window, it was about 2.3 meters high, about .2 meters taller then I am. I looked down from over two hundred stories up to see nothing but smoke, and clouds. There had been some type of Assasination attempt on someone in power this morning, and the smoke was still clearing from where the home made bomb took out a sky hook. As A Falleen, I was very eager to know what is going on every where, to everybody. Tht is why I Deploy my agents all across the galaxy. I moved from my window to the large Bar in the room, I poured myself a coreillian ale, and had a seat on my desk. Just as I set my glass down on a coaster one of my Employees walked in.
"Mister Sibryn, Your furniture is down stairs."

"Exellent, Have it brought up."
The public face of my business was that of a parts manufactureer. But many people such as the rebellion Empire, and Trade Federation Knew the truth. I sat silently on my desk every once in awhile sipping my Ale, Waiting for the movers to bring in the rest of my furniture. I thought about what will be happening now that we are underway. As the movers brought my furniture in, They asked me where I wanted it.
"Talk to my secratary, she knows where I want it."
I moved to the door and yelled back:

"I'm going for a Walk i'll be back."
I walked down the corridor The Black Nebula had aqiured twelve levels in this building. It made me feel good, knowing that my creation was growing. . .

As I walked down the long corridor I smelled the foul air in the building, it smelled like too many air ducts had been on, for too long. Where would I go to start Business? Hmm The Empire might have a soft spot for organized crime, perhaps the trad federation would care to do business as well. I pondered these questions in my head as I entered the elevator to go to the next floor up, I wanted to buy out the rest of the building, but that will have to wait a couple weeks, just until business got back to normal. *DING!* was the sound of the elevator as it hit the requested floor, the doors opend to an empty floor, rooms, after rooms offices, and more offices. The entire building was vacant so I could roam where I pleased, since I was still a potential buyer of this building anyway. I studyed the floor for a moment before stepping back into the elevator. I pushed the button for the 1st or lobby floor as I felt it jerk a bit as I went into thought again. Now some things that need to be taken care of are: Making a name for ourselves, getting business, making some sort of alliance with another group. I thought all sorts of ways to do that but I was interupted by the annoying *DING!* letting me know that the elevator had reached my floor.

*Meanwhile back on the main floor.*
A young female Chalactan stood in front of her new desk putting away documents, and other items. She was happy to be the personal Secratary of Mister Sibryn, Although he always asked her to call him Lorcyn. She used to work fileing documents, and other things about the business nothing too out of the ordinaray invoice numbers, catologing the work reports etc. Until she had met Mister Sibryn, he introduced himself, even thoguh she knew who the boss was. She immidiately found him very attractive, although he was reptilian looking. They had chatted awhile, and he told her that he needed a new secratary, and if she was interested. She said of course, almost before he finished. . .Now here she is. Life was good for her now, she made a good deal of money, and had a good job, She had moved up a lot from a bookie on Tatooine, to a dancer/singer in a small cantina, To a filer, to Mister Sibryn's personal secratary.

I made my way through the lobby to the door enterance, many people may want our services, I may need to advertise. Black Nebula Manufactureing. It would be perfect, looking through the small windows out and about I saw where what was left of the sky hook. There were fire persoanl and Medical personal all over it. This would be a perfect place to begin the black Nebula's greatness. . .

After almost five minutes of watching the fire personal put out the fire, I became very bored. I turned and walked past the man at the front desk, who as well as many others was getting his desk into check for business. I wonder where my body gaurds are? I said out load to myself. It was not that I needed them, but I was questioning there loyalty. I walk up to the elevator and pushed the button. The smae *DING!* sound could be heard through out the 1st floor. I pushed the 60th floor button, and pulled out my comlink. "Geni, get someone to fix the elevator so it doesn't make the Ding sound anymore."
"Yes my lord, what would you like it to be?"

"Suprise me."
I closed my com, and watched the buttons glow as I passed each floor. Geni was my most highly trained assistant, and a great assasin. She was a droid, but one of a kind so to speak. the man who created her worked for my, and I asked him not to make anymore. She costed my eleven million credits, and she was worth them. As it hit my floor, I heard the very noise I despised,*DING!* I walk out onto my floor. I watched as many people walked around my floor. I didn't like to have many people on here, but until I bought the rest of the building, I would have to live with the small office you could call it. there was still four hundred more floors, up to this buidling, and I could afford everyone of them. I was on Coruscant now, The black nebula was not known so well by beings on this planet, not yet anyway. The Empire knew of us, we have done small operations with them before on other planets. I was rich, but money did not meen much to me, I had hundreds of billions of credits. I have teams, agents, Capo's on almost every populated planet in the universe, making money for me. Life was good, but I still needed Coruscant as a place to have connections. I walked into my chamber seeing that my furniature was placed where it was suppose to. I sat in my chair, it hummed moving the back padding to comfort me in my position. I sat and waited for my body guards to show up. . .

*<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Meanwhile on an airship not too far from Lorcyn palace*<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
"Mister Lorcyn is going to be upset with us being late, we are over twenty minutes late, can't this ship going any faster?" The Nikto yelled.
The four Bodyguards one a large Nikto, the second a Wookie, the third a Noghri, the final a Trandoshan. It was amazing that a group like this even got along, especially the Trandoshan and the Wookie. As the Nikto kept yelling, the wookie turned around, and growled at him. As in a "I'm flying as fast as I can gesture." As the arrived to the sky all four jumped out, and in a hurry took the lift to the 60th floor. . .

As Sibryn sat in his chair he suddenly realized he heard a low unnatural mechanical sound, familiar with medical centers, coming from the direction of one of his other pieces of furniure in the shadows. As he looked over to the sound he saw two round red glowing circles in the same place the sound was coming from. The circles slowly shifted showing whoever it was was standing up with no haste and the figure leisurely moved into the light to reveal a man dressed in black uniform standing there, but where his mouth should have been was some type of respirator which was causing the noise. The other oddity were the glowing red photoceptors where the man's eyes should have been. He stood there for a moment and then spoke with some amusement in his voice.
"I thought it would be harder to get in here to talk to the head of Black Nebula. Your group is, afterall, a crime syndicate. But then I notice your bodyguards aren't rushing in here to vape me either, which probably answers that," He chuckled slightly through his respirator and then went on.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Trachta," The man said and bowed slightly.

"Well it is always hard to find good help these days." I look at the droid, not makeing it look like I was staring. "Well Trachta was it? What can I do for you?" the droid seemed like an assasin of some sort, but it was hard to tell as I waited for him to reply.

*<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Back to the body gaurds.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->*
The wookie landed on the sixtieth floor and was leading the group to Lord Sibryn's throne room. As the door opend the wookie say Mister Lorcyn, and some type of droid. The Wookie yelled some kind of war cry of a sorts. and aimed his bowcaster at the droid. . .

I stared at the long hair wookie, which was only a little taller than I. "KASHA! STOP!" The wookie stopped dead in it's tracks. "You four will see me after I am through with my meeting, understood?" All four shook their heads in a yes motion, and left. "I apologize for their actions, please continue."

Trachta stood there for a moment and simply turned towards the bodyguards that had suddenly entered the room. As they were told to leave he turned his attention back to Sibryn.
"Well, I am in need of employment and I was wondering if your organiztion could use my services. I have had experience in underworld dealings before including: black mail, extortion, negotiations, and the management of a spice smuggling ring. Unfortunately most of my clientel are currently dead. Thats the sad thing about this line of business, you never no when someone might get bumped off," Trachta said as he stood there waiting to see what Sibryn would say.

I looked at the cyborg for a moment. "Well experience is always good to have. I have an opening as one of my captains. The person that held the position before you, a human. Is no longer among the living. Your job would be to run business on a string of planets I previde. Your job is to keep business going, and I will call you and the others at certain points to come back here, and have meetings about how well things are going. If things do not go well, you will be scrap, and some one better will take over." I look at the door, on the other side one of those four idiots is going to be beaten unmercifully. "Ah so welcome aboard, I will contact you in the next couple of days with the planets you will be assigned to." I shake the cyborg's hand and show him to the door. . .

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Minutes after Trachta has gone. . .<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

I sit down in my chair and call the body guards in.
"Firstly, why were you late? and secondly, why did you come barging in here with your weapons drawn, does this look like a shooting gallery?"

The Nikto by the name of Oltce decided to answer my questions.

"Sir we were late because the airship was having some technical problems, and made it slower than usual. When we saw the Cyborg, we thought you were in trouble, so we pulled our weapons. We apolgize my lord it won't happen again."

They stood in a line like in the imperial army. I walked down the line, passing each one of them. I finally stopped at Oltce, he was the leader of my guards, or was the leader. "It's alright." I said it to him. I then grabbed his head, and quickly in one swift movement. . .*SNAP!*. . . broke his neck. I looked at the body as it fell to the floor. "Your forgiven." I moved back to face the others.

"As for the rest of you, think of that as an example of what will happen when you screw up. Kasha." The wookie stood up straight."You are now in charge, take this body away, strip him of identification, and dump him in the slums. You may go now."

It had been five minutes since my body guards had taken the body out of my office. I decided that I wanted to buy the rest of the buidling from the owner, it had a nice skyhook at the top and the top floor, was once the throne room for the emperor. I had just gotten done talking with the owner, and had put three hundred and fifty million credits into his account. A lot to any other man, but worth buying. I had the rest of my things brought up there, my good desk, my chair, everything I had. I left some shabbier things in the old office for apperinces. I had more staff moving into the building, with everyone there, it would take up every floor except for about three. I called Geni into my office, and told her to get the Leader of the trade federation an apointment in the next couple of days, we had some business to conduct. As I moved to the elevator I pushed the button for the four hundred and fifty ninth floor, the elevator would not go to the top floor for privacy. As the door opened I heard the sound of waves, instead of the annoying *DING!* I was impressed. I moved up the flight of stairs, and opened the door to my throne room. "Ah very nice indeed." I went to my chair and sat down. It had a bigger bar, a bed, a throne, desk, and a freshening room. "This will be my home." I thought

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Geni. . .<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
Geni moved silently through the corridors, Lord Sibryn had asked her to get the leader of the trade federation, so she would. The sky hook with her ship was almost two buildings over, so it would taking her a moment to get there, but then with hast, she would leave. . .
