Long nose...{Collected}

[projectsunfire]

The cloaked figure lifts its arms up, and a set of chitinous hands protrude. The figure pulls back its hood to reveal the face of Verpine. She wears a pendent marking her as a political dignitary.

"We are interested in bringing to Justice, a Ku'baz, by the name of Ku'Gonxa. A week ago he stole an important former member of our religious caste and ate him. When we sent an emmisary to discuss what he did, he killed them and ate them too." The Verpines antennae twitch erratically. "We are willing to offer 10,000 credits, to you if you can aquire this Ku'baz for us...

...Alive if possible. If dead, bring us his nose."

Bounty for Ku'Gonxa-10,000 credits.

Talgo decided to accept. He approaced the insectoid and spoke. "Well met, verpine. My name is Talgo. If you seek the services of a bounty hunter, then I will accept."

The Verpine twitches her antennae twice in a fast motion. "We have not heard of you, but we do not leave the colony that often, Bounty hunter." She says, her large black compound eyes reflecting Talgo's face back at him like 100 tiny tinted mirrors.

"We will pay 5000 credits now, 5000 more on delivery of, the Ku'baz... or his nose. We are counting on your skill Mandalorian. We have a data disk detailing his last known ware-bouts."

The Verpine reaches into her cloak and withdraws a silver data disk and hands it to Talgo. The verpines antennae twitch again erratically. "I will escort you back to your ship, and wait with you till your credits are brought to you."

[infiltrator]

"Very well, next time you see me, this Ku'baz will be behind me, one way or another. And thanks for the data disk."

When the Verpine and the Bounty hunter arrived at his ship, another Verpine waited with his first payment. He wore a modified set of armor for his species.

His antennae twitched once, and he handed Talgo the box and the Dignitary and her escort left Talgo to it.

Talgo returned to the verpine, with a box. The bounty hunter opened the box, and the nose of a ku'baz was inside. The Mandalorian felt no shame or guilt. His adversary fought a good fight, and he respected him for it. Talgo gave such foes a warrior's death. This one had been no exception. Before leaving Tatooine, Talgo gave Ku Gonxa's body a decent furneral. Talgo felt the ku'baz deserved that little token of respect.

"Here he is, well, a piece of him. Test it as you wish. I'll take my pay once you acertain the authenticity."

[projectsunfire]

The Verpine took the long porbiscus in his chitinous hand and inspected its authenticity. "This will take a moment Mr. Flong." The Verpine said as he brought out a small laser scalpel and carved off a sliver of the nose. He placed the sliver in a small container, and inserted it into a Data pad. Which began to run tests on the sliver of flesh.

After a few minutes the Data pad beeped and the Verpine handed over a container of credits.
"Well done Mandalorian. I trust he suffered horribly." The verpine said with a slight bow. With their business concluded. The Verpine turned and walked away leaving Talgo to find his way to his ship.
