STARLIGHT Black Sand (Episode 5)

Barracudas was just observing her surroundings while her Master was busy talking to both the Jawa and the old lady. When her Master was done talking she approached her. "So did you find anything useful Master?"

Old Lady grabs the credits and cannot believe how much credits she got, as she never saw so many credits at one place. She was almost about to cry, she gives few nods of huge gratitude to Lin'drala.

Deep in dark space, where the hidden star ship of the Dread Masters, Dreadnought, lurks with the rest of the members. Amongst them was Bestia, meditating in her chamber. She opens her eyes, once she feels the powerful disturbance in the Force. She leaves her chamber to let other Dread Masters know, but they already felt something themselves as well. Raptus: "I've never felt something like this, outside of our circle. Something is wrong." Bestia walks towards the Dread Masters group and shares her part: "I know what is happening. Brontes is in danger. She should have never separate from us. I felt powerful source of the light side, located within one person, within a jedi. It's presence conflicts with the presence of Brontes energy, how can you not feel it? They are on the same world. Her plans are discovered, and they alerted the other side." Styrak: "If she fails, not everything is lost. She will leave powerful dark side energy on the spot of her death, that only we can collect." Raptus: "Brontes will not fail. Our collective is stronger with her alive. We are going to rescue her. And this jedi, it must be eliminated." Dreadnought starts turning setting course for Tatooine.

Fyria glances at the cantina across the street and then she eyes padawan braid on Barracudas: "Is it smarrrt to brrring a padawan in all this?" - Fyria would approach to Lin'drala with a concerned tone - "Dread Masters are way above our padawans in the order, when it comes to skill and power. It is one of the reasons why we decided to keep their existence as secret."

Barracudas frowns upon hearing Fyria say that but turns to her Master. "Thank you Master for believing in me."

Captain of the crew can decide now next curse of action. He can take everyone to the cantina or just send certain people to investigate, or ask crew for opinion for making next step.

Fyria, getting the exact reply from Lin'drala that she expected, uses it in the current situation as she gives cat glance to Barracudas: "If she is at least half of what you say, she should not have prrroblem to enterrr the cantina alone and investigate morrre about ourrr mission. Drrressed like that, she will meld amongst otherrr dancerrrs and wont be seen as outsider. If we all enter together, it will look too suspicious, and our prey can escape."

Barracudas thought the idea over in her head. "She is right Master, I have an... 'unique' set of skills due to my upbringing and of course my looks." She glances at Fyria. " I am not just dressed like this out of my own desire but also because I was trained to look as attractive and appealing as possible for all my youth and it is a part of me now. And while it may feel uncomfortable for you to let me use it, I am not bothered by it. If it can help us in our mission than you only have to ask." She says loyally to Master Lin'drala.

"I don't like the idea of sending the young padawan into the nest where outlaws come to relax, something can happen to her, she could indeed attract all the attention with her looks. Send me Captain, they'll never see me coming." Axo voices his opinion, trying to protect Barracudas from potential troubles and harms.

Marinez scouts the area with Blood'Gunner.

Blood'Gunner gets her micro-binoculars to check the surrounding area.

"Alright Master." She answers while making her way to the entrance. "You coming Axo?" She says smiling.

"Together? Her and me? Yes Captain, we can do it, I mean ... the mission." Axo blushes and follows Barracudas to the Cantina "I am right bene ... beside you." Axo answers to Barracudas, corrupting himself in half sentence.

Blood'gunner can see a person in dark robes approaching, but she still cannot identify him from the distance, although he looks familiar, as someone who was already on the Vigilance Beacon. When Barracudas and Axo enter the cantina, everything seems usual, for Tattooine standards. There are bounty hunters, attractive dancers, as well as the very ugly ones, bartenders, boring music, smoke, laughs, conversations, gambling ...

'Marinez take at look at that person over there' as she past the binoculars.

After surveying the area she coudln't help it but comment to it. "Well this certainly brings back memories..." She murmered to herself. "Well I propose that we split up. I go to the dance floor and you go to the bar. See if we can find something that looks suspicious. Alright for you Axo?" She said to him.

Marinez took the binoculars and looks thought it 'hmmm cant see clearly who he is put wearing a dark robe, let me report in' marinez gave the binoculars back to Blood'Gunner and took out his holo-com to contact Lin'drala 'Master Jedi do you read me?'

Axo frowns at Barracudas' suggestion: "I don't like how you are going to expose yourself to .. all eyes here. It can be dangerous."

'Me and Blood'Gunner have sighted a person in dark robe in this area, it might be the person we are looking for.'

The description Marinez gave to the Captain matches the Dread Agent's, person that is no more passenger of the Vigilance Beacon. It appears that he follows his own lead to reach Dread Master and rescue his family. But the ally he is no more. He makes direction towards the Cantina where Barracudas and Axo entered, with his hand close to the hilt of his lightsaber, ready to bring massacre to the Cantina. In few minutes, he will arrive.

'Understood, Me and Blood'Gunner is ready'
