As soon as Keith answers the call, Varuun's voice sound clearly in the entire cockpit.
"Why, you were in a position to answer then. I wasn't sure of it" You can almost hear the smirk in his voice.
"I've got some wonderful news for you two"

".... and I'm glad to hear from you too..." Keith sighs and runs a hand through his hair. He looks over his shoulder after Koriana. "What's the wonderful news?"

Koriana slips into the co-pilot's chair, not looking pleased at all. But when speaking of the devil...

"Well well well, always such a jester, aren't you Flare?" Varuun laughs shortly.
"About the news. It seems we made a mistake. The weapon isn't on Mon Cal after all"

Keith blinks a couple of times, as if he has to turn Varuun's words in his head more than once. Then his face darkens along with his blue eyes. ".... What???!!!"

Koriana stares at the controls. Then she blinks. One time. Two times. Three times.
"Say what??!?!"

varuun nods, though the couple can't see it.
"Yeah, I interrogated the prisoner further, and it seems I was wrong in the first place. Though I hate to admit it. We're putting our money on another planet. A couple of Fallen Jedi will arrive shortly with new instructions for you"

"You hate to admit it, huh??!!!" Keith snarls. "We almost got eaten by a swarm a predatory fishes, and you 'hate to admit' that you were wrong about the planet??!!!"

"What a minute!" Koriana leans closer, wanting to join in on the conversation.
"NEW instructions? what kind of new instructions?" She looks at the controls, darkly.

"Well, Flare, even I can't be right every time. Though I do try" He laughs shortly.
"And yes, Letzt, new instructions. We've found another location for you two"

"And what makes you think that we'll just pack our bags and wander off to a new, possible location??" Keith answers. "You could be wrong again, for all I know!"

Koriana grimaces. They only just came out of the water, and now Varuun wants to send them somewhere else? Maybe Coruscant wasn't such a bad idea after all...

"Well...you work for me. That's a good reason, I believe. And because I'm sending you to a very exciting planet. The people arriving will have a datapad with a name and coordinates. The datapad can only be read if you have the proper password, which I will give you..." Varuun pauses.
"The planet is not commonly known..."

Keith doesn't look even close to thrilled of the thought about a new, exciting planet, but he keeps silent for now. Arguing with Varuun will be as pointless as trying to move a star cruiser with your teeth.

"You must be insane if you think we're just gonna fly off to some new, dangerous planet...There must be a reason it's not commonly known, right? You're a fool if you think we're gonna just do this"

"Aww, Letzt don't go breaking my heart, please" Varuun laughs coldly.
"Of course I'm not insane. And of course I'm not a fool. I thought you knew that by now. I can promise you extra payment for this mission. Well, extra payment being payment in itself, as that's not usually something Drashk does..."

Keith crosses his arms over his chest. Don't you say it.... don't you dare say it.... "I guess that we can't discuss this in a commitee about you not being an insane fool and all, Varuun?"

Post by Koriana Letzt on Sept 6, 2009 13:58:10 GMT 1
Koriana grimaces. Not because she disapproves of what Keith is saying. More so because she agrees with him.
"Payment, Varuun? really? That's your offer?"

"Well, that an the change to live to see another day. Which might not be much, but it does count for something don't you think Letzt?"

"Oh, joy..." Keith mumbles. "I left the Jedi Order for this??" He looks briefly at Koriana.

Koriana slaps her forehead with her right hand, looking less than pleased.
"Great, so we have to do this, you say? Why can't those idiots you're sending do it instead?"
|

Post by Varuun Carro on Sept 6, 2009 14:36:45 GMT 1
"Because they are going on another mission. They should arrive shortly. A few hours tops. Maybe less. I don't really keep track of time like you humans do"

".... then perhaps you should buy yourself a kronometer," Keith mumbles again. "And what do you suggest, we do while waiting here for 'a few hours'??"

Koriana leans back in her chair. Right now, there's no point in arguing with Varuun. She knows that. She also knows he's too far away to do anything right now. At least she hopes he is...

Varuun laughs, sounding really amused.
"Oh, I forgot...you two hate each other....right?" There's a slight pause.
"I'm sure you will think of something to do, Flare"

"Yeah, I guess, we'll slice each other to pieces in an epic light saber combat..." Keith snorts. One of his hands reaches out and pads Koriana gently on her thigh.

Koriana looks from Keith's hand to his shirt still wrapped around her shoulders - and shakes her head. She's not completely sure whether to laugh or cry.

Varuun grins "Yeah, something like that Flare...something like that..."
"well, as I said, they should be there soon, so don't go something that will require...a lot of time" He laughs, and then the channel is dead.

Keith looks at the dead channel for a long time, not saying anything. Just going through his own thoughts.
"That old snot vampire...." he snarls. "Force, I would do just about anything for a chance of chopping his head off."

Koriana places her hand on top of his, giving it a gentle squeeze. She, too, isn't too happy about the situation. But she has a sneaking suspicion Drashk is really the one to hate.
"I doubt you'll get that chance anytime soon..."
