Emanuel Zorg
5:59pm, December 05, 2011
[Edit]
[Delete] | *Boba Fett : [Aldpos...A world of scum and villainy. But even here, the dregs and savages knew better then to cross the man walking in full armour in the casino. Nervousness on the faces of some of the patrons, as he kept his weapons pointedly with him rather then hand it at the door. Not to mention the inevitably guilty conscientious who thought he was after him, and looking around in the crowd, Fett wondered which form Lunet would be wearing today as he headed for the private rooms upstairs and in the back.]
*Lunet : **Flying through the air, would be a tiny dragon, no bigger then a foot that would come to rest on Boba Fett's helmet and grip at it, looking rather pleased with itself as it goes along for the ride**
*Emanuel Zorg : With a swagger that would embarrass a lot of men, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg entered behind the pair, and following him...
*Joe Fixit : ... Joe Fixit. Standing near the door as it shut, looking as serious and mildly pissed off as ever. He filled out that expensive suit the way no one else could. "Hail Hail the gang's all here." He quipped.
*Carmen Sandiego: "Oh poo." Carmen quipped, from the spot in the corner of the room that no one had bothered to look in for some reason. "You ruined my surprise." She regarded the group. "Fett. It's been a long time. Not still angry about the last time we crossed paths, hmm?"
*Boba Fett : [A man walks down the street, with a tiny dragon on his head? Not afraid of anything and looking up at Fixit, he pegged him as hired muscle for this job and turned to look at someone he did NOT expect to see. His helmet masking his expression and his voice collected as usual.] "Not really. Seeing how I got the Slave I back." [And leaving it at that, he spoke to the little dragon on his head.] "Long story. So Zorg....Quite a team you brought together. Whose the target?"
*Lunet : **The small dragon would make a chirping noise, before it moves to fly down to the floor and begin the process of changing into another form, as the small dragon form was useless for speaking in**
*Emanuel Zorg : Zorg, at this time, was still gathering a stack of OLEDs and rearranging them, letting the group settle in before he spoke. Even he was a little nervous in this particular group. "Well, if we play our cards right, that'll be a plural." He brought up the first OLED and flashed the wanted poster that he'd downloaded from the Spaceport. "Big enough score to attract your attention?"
*Boba Fett : [He knew this being...Heard of him actually, though he never had the chance to meet him in any circumstance and after a beat, he spoke with some interest.] "Vader's footing the bounty? For one man?"
*Lunet : **Once changed, she'd brush some dust off her clothing** Well, Boba....remember Vader's footed the bounty for one single girl before...it's a shame we let that one go to a waste
*Emanuel Zorg : "Apparently. I've double checked it. Cad Bane took a shot at him and failed, if the grapevine is to be believed." Zorg nodded. "Fought his way out of one hell of an ambush, ship to ship. That's why we fight this next one on the ground."
*Joe Fixit : "And that's where we come in. Now, I see where Fett comes in, and the shifter here. But what's she doing here? Little out of your area of expertise, isn't it, Sandiego?"
*Boba Fett : [He snorted.] "Not like this one. 5 million credits....He's rarely done that in the time I've worked for him. Which means either this one has information he doesn't want leaked, or he's just too dangerous to be left running around. I'm inclined to believe the latter. And did he now?" [He turned to look at Zorg in his sights before he spoke.] "I might have heard something like that, yeah."
*Lunet : My name is Lunet, thank you very much, you muscle bound gorilla
*Carmen Sandiego : "I had the same thought iniitally, Fixit. But then, I got promised the chance at some simply lovely toys if I came along on this particular caper. Isn't that right Jean-Baptiste?" She slunk over and leaned against a table, lowering her glasses.
*Joe Fixit : "Gonna have to try harder to insult me than that, Lunet." He tipped his hat a bit at her.
*Boba Fett : [Fett would be scowling slightly beneath the helmet as he calculated. Zorg was obviously running the show as it were. Bringing them all together like this, and with his familiarity in hunting Jedi as well as Lunet and her own tech abilities he knew why. Fixit was an obvious role, and as for Sandiego....Well, he trusted her to have fun and a simple bounty run would have been beneath her notice he thought. Until he ran a background check via his helmet.....And raised an eyebrow before he spoke.] "I see....This target has some...."Interesting friends." Think we'll be enough in keeping them at bay?"
*Lunet : Does it look like I care? **She'd turn her concealed gaze onto Joe Fixit, before turning her attention back towards the others**
*Carmen Sandiego : "Actually... I was thinking about that. If we manage to gain our mark, we're very likely to also gather some of these... accomplices that are mentioned here. I did some research, and some of them are of the... mystical bent. So, I took a liberty of inviting a guest. I do hope you don't mind, Jean-Baptiste? A... subject matter expert as it were?" She appeared to look off in the distance, and said. "That's your cue."
*Skeletor : "Please." A man stepped out from the shadows. "Skeletor needs no introductions."
*Joe Fixit : "Hey, buddy. Lay off the Slim Fast. I think you've overdone it." He cast his eyes in the direction of the newcomer.
*Boba Fett : [He knew how to take down Jedi, having learned from the best. But magic was beyond him, and he'd frown slightly at the newcomer before he spoke.] "If he can do his job, its good enough for me. Where do we start?"
*Lunet : **She'd look over at Skeletor, one eyebrow raising up, before she looks over at Boba for a moment, before she returns her gaze towards Zorg**
*Skeletor : *FOOM* A magic blast was shot at the feet of Fixit. "Hold your tongue! I did not come here to be insulted by overgrown buffoons!" He'd glare at everyone else at the table. "At the moment you need me more then I need you."
*Emanuel Zorg : "Right now, we're waiting for them to quit their vacation in paradise. Then, some of my friends will get them here, to Aldopos." He leaned back.
*Joe Fixit : "Scuff my shoes and you're paying for them." he said, but fell silent. He didn't want to buy a new suit again so soon after buying the last one.
*Carmen Sandiego : "And that's where I come in. I claim a few items that they simply can't live without, and while they're out reclaiming them..." She inclined her head to the rest of them.
*Skeletor : "We crush their skull under our heels! NyehnyehNYEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
*Boba Fett : [He turned his gaze to the crazed skeletal being as he spoke.] "Their worth more alive then dead. And I've hunted his kind for years...I know how we can deal with them."
*Lunet : So...we catch the guy alive? Sounds good to me **She'd grin, rubbing her hands together briefly**
*Emanuel Zorg : "Pay's a lot more if they're kept alive. Now... maiming... I leave that solidly in your hands. Any resources you need, equipment, weapons what have you... I'm your man." he smirked a bit. "I know you're fond of your energy weapons, Fett, but these magic types often have better defenses against energy than my slugthrowers. You should give it a try sometime." He tapped on the next OLED. "I still have to network with Iven. I'm going to send some contracts his way, so that it looks like his mooks are the ones who took the things Carmen is going to take... to keep them on the ground and... Divided." He gazed at each of them in turn.
*Skeletor : At the mention of getting them alive Skeletor would just scoff. "Yes clearly the master plan! Let's capture them and when our guards are down he will escape!" Skeletor slammed his staff to the floor sending sparks flying. "I have been an evil overlord longer enough to know that keeping your target alive always causes havoc!"
*Joe Fixit : Fixit just grunted. "Divide and conquer. Seems a solid enough plan."
*Boba Fett : "People pay more for a live person then dead Skeletor." [And considering, Fett would speak.] "So our resources are pretty much carte blanche then?"
*Lunet : Oh shut up, you bag of bones...this isn't about being an "Evil overlord" this is about bounty hunting **She'd fall silent after that, merely listening for now**
*Skeletor : "Live people usually live to tell the tale." Skeletor replied back. His eyes shone red up as Lunet snapped at him. "It's about playing it smart little girl. Though it seems like something you don't often do."
*Emanuel Zorg : "Yep. I have more accountants and lawyers than I can shake a stick at, and can make a lot of books look perfectly legitimate. Business losses are deductible after all..." He tapped a pen on the table. "What I need you folks to brainstorm on now, is the exact location for this little caper. On Aldopos, surely. But where... would fit your needs best?"
*Carmen Sandiego : "Accountants. Yes, I feel a certain... kinship with them. And politicians. I can't help myself. I love me a good liar." Carmen cooed.
*Boba Fett : [He considered for a moment before he spoke.] "The arena. We get them in, we use the security they have to keep them in and booby trap the place as well. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide."
*Lunet : **She'd go still for a moment, then look at Skeletor, preparing herself to change if it came to it** Talk to me like that again, and I'll tear your head off, understand?
*Carmen Sandiego : "And how will that help us capture Galen Marek, Lunet? Sure, it'll feel good for a moment or two, but then. Well, our odds of winning just go down." She winked at Lunet. "And I always stack the odds."
*Boba Fett : [At that, Fett would look up and speak.] "Lets keep this professional Lunet. Now to business itself...We're going to need a lot of explosives as well as nerve gaze. Sonic mines...Disruptors." [And glancing at his blaster rifle, he spoke.] "I may need another weapon as well..."
*Emanuel Zorg : "Send me the list, and I'll fill it. And yeah... I think that Arena is looking like a better idea all the time. Good thinking, Fett." he nodded.
*Joe Fixit : "I know that place like the back of my hand, so sure, I'm in for it." His grin widened.
*Boba Fett : [Fett nodded and spoke.] "If we commandeer the place, we could convert it into a death-trap for even the most stubborn Jedi if need be. Though I'll trust the rest of you to be keeping his little club busy while we take out the target itself."
*Skeletor : The contempt was very evident on the skinless face of Skeletor when he spoke next. "Oh look, the little girl thinks she can talk back to me." With that he proceeded to ignore her and address Boba Fett. "Technology is all fine and dandy but surely we'd need something to seal their escape from above as well?"
*Boba Fett : [Chuckling at that, Fett turned his gaze to Zorg.] "For some reason, I think Mr. Zorg here has a person for that as well. Or need we go recruiting for one more?"
*Emanuel Zorg : "Blocking a escape by spacecraft, I got covered. But I think Skeletor here can possibly block a magical escape as well. May as well cover all the bases." Zorg nodded firmly.
*Skeletor : "Should be easy enough." Skeletor replied to Zorg, "And you!" Skeletor would point his staff at Boba Fett. "Try to keep your little pet in check or I shall do it for you!"
*Boba Fett : [He thought as much and for a moment would consider before he spoke. Paying the snake form little thought, save to reach out a hand to pet the head of it as he looked over the map.] "Hmmm....Only problem I see here is actually getting him inside. Once inside, that's easy...But luring him in? Decidedly more harder. You think you can manage it, Sandiago?"
*Emanuel Zorg : "Whoa whoa... We're all professionals here. If we can't even hold a conversation how are we going to handle the rest of this? Please, let's keep our heads about us, hmmm?"
*Lunet : **She'd narrow her eyes, letting out another hiss in Skeletor's direction at the "pet comment", before she rests her head on Boba's shoulder, not minding the pet to her head**
*Joe Fixit : Fixit looked at Lunet and tightened a fist for a moment. "Don't forget, my day job is security here. Don't make me angry Miss Lunet. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
*Skeletor : "I know bumbling buffoons when I see them." Skeletor replied to Zorg. "It will not be my head on a platter if we fail in this endeavour!"
*Boba Fett : [Finally, Fett would look up before he spoke.] "Shut up all of you. We're all experts in our chosen field, and have a chance to win the big prize. We fight, then we already lost. What we will do is get the target, get the money and after we split it, then we can insult and kill each other off. Not before. Otherwise....Then I'll have a problem." [And Fett, did not like problems in his work...]
*Emanuel Zorg : "No one here is a bumbling buffoon. I have plenty of them hired. Bought them all some nice red shirts with little gold triangles painted on them and everything." He winked at Skeletor.
*Lunet : **She'd simply ignore Skeletor's latest comment...he wasn't worth her time anymore, instead, she'd simply settle down, keeping close to Boba**
*Skeletor : "You can never have enough minions." Skeletor nodded. "Be my guest, Fett. I'm not here to cause any trouble."
*Boba Fett : "Then we're all good here." [And leaving it at that, Fett would consider carefully before he spoke.] "So Sandiago, you'll have the biggest job out of us all....Luring the target. If he refuses to step one foot into that arena, we're not going to pull it off. Can you do it?"
*Carmen Sandiego : "Darling of course I can. I've already gotten footage of them on the Spaceport. I have several key items I can take that they simply must reacquire. A wand, some extremely usefu keys, a couple of very handy swords, and a neat little computer chip with a very advanced AI on it, among other things." She laughed. "Also, this makes them far easier for you to catch, as their powers are derived from many of the aforementioned items."
*Lunet : **She'd merely continue to listen to the conversation going on, her gaze watching all in the room**
*Emanuel Zorg : "Now that class is dismissed..." he commented about the squabbling. "I need to give you terms." He leaned back. "Now what I'm mainly getting out of this is a lot of PR in the right circles. Truth be told, I'm probably going to spend more than the five mil it takes on my end just to put all the ponies in a row for you all to work your magic. I opted Fixit in for 20 percent, Carmen has agreed to 10 plus all the pretties she can lay her hands on. I'm prepared to offer each of you..." he indicated Fett and Lunet "Twenty as well, so I suppose I'll just be like an agent and magnanimously accept 10 percent and give Skeletor his twenty."
*Lunet : **Twenty percent each? That was quite a nice amount of money...her snake-ish gaze snapping towards Zorg as she shifts a bit on Boba**
*Emanuel Zorg : "And just think about it. The more of those accomplices we catch, the more zeroes that the asthmatic one has to add to that check." He chuckled. "It'll be priceless, literally."
*Boba Fett : [Fett would consider for a moment before he spoke.] "Alright then. Sounds like a good deal, seeing how none of us are going to walk away with anything if we don't work together." [And reaching up a hand, he tickled Lunet under the chin in an affectionate gesture as he looked at Zorg.] "One more thing I'll need if you could get em. "Droideka's." They'll be handy distractions, if only for a few moments."
*Skeletor : "I do not much care for the money, Zorg, But I will accept the plan. Perhaps I can put it to some good use later on.
*Lunet : **The chin scratching made her calm down some more, so, she'd shift into the form of a white cat, remaining on Boba's shoulder and purring after a few seconds**
*Emanuel Zorg : "All right then. It's settled. I got the penthouse floor reserved, if you all want to take some R&R. This is a little ways off yet, The Night Fury's a bit out of reach right now, but they'll wear their welcome out on Ivalice soon enough, and then I'll get my sheepdogs to herd them here. Take a load off, play some games." He stood. "If you'll excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I have another appointment to get to." Nodding, he waved the door open and waltzed out, the cat who ate the canary.
*Boba Fett : [And nodding, Fett would take the map with him before moving...And pausing as with Lunet cradled in one arm, he spoke deadpan.] "Carmen? Give me back my jet pack."
*Carmen Sandiego : "Oh, I was just looking. All right." She returned it, but later on, once lights were out, the words 'Kick Me' would glow in the dark on the back of the pack.
*Joe Fixit : Fixit shrugged, turned out of the room and decided to take full advantage of that penthouse.
*Lunet : **Finding herself cradled in Boba's left arm, she'd remain still as she's carried, an amused gaze going towards Carmen*
*Boba Fett : [It wasn't until they were in the privacy of the penthouse room that Fett would speak as he rubbed behind Lunet's ears.] "I really don't like that woman." [And later, seeing the "Kick Me" sign on the pack, he would repeat it again.]
