He listened through the minuscule speech without flinching before slinging his blaster.
"Riiiight."
Nonetheless his beskar gauntlet shook his hand with a firm grip, quickly afterwards proceeding to lift him from the dark crevice of the box.
"Blitz. Pleasure."
He continued around the side of the stack of supplies without paying him much mind as he checked the time.
"So what type of wares you into?" And on a side note, I'm ransackin' a small cruiser in a bit if you're interested in tagging along, at least you seem alright in that respect."

"Mostly Weapons, but i do also have some unique artifacts, too."
Zen tried to answer as professionally as possible, and thought about the offer. The dreading realization that his ship was probably impounded set upon him, and cursed out loud just thinking about it. Accepting the compliment, he decided there wasn't much else he could do other than drown himself in a cantina or assist this man, besides it might even redeem him in the Mandalorian's eyes.
"Alright, your on. So, what's the plan?" Zen asked, taking a seat on a table near them.

A wicked grin that had clearly been to hell and back on multiple voyages formed under his dark visor. It was getting late, they were going to have to pick it up.
"Alrighty then. Let's go liberate your little freighter then, what you've got may come in handy for you, if you need it at least. Otherwise, -"
He spun his compact blaster over in his palm, offering it to his new comrade. He figured it may help more so than a small handgun for this job. His motives began to change within him. A simple engine rig was manifesting itself into a heist rather quickly. As he did so, he strolled over to the side panel, unfolding it from the wall as he deftly removed the near four-foot sniper rifle, locking the bolt with an echo as he cradled it into his arms.
"Afterwards, we rendezvous under that stage out front at dusk and get this party going. Which is coming pretty quickly, so I suggest we get our asses in gear."

"Good, my friend!"
Zen said enthusiastically before grabbing the pistol and holstering it firmly on his waist. It sure did feel good to have a solid blaster banging against his leg as he walked to the door. When he entered the entryway, a nice blast of fresh air settled on him, and he looked over at Blitz.
"Ok, chances are, that they've locked down the Jewel, so I'm going to need you to disable the locking mechanisms on the blast doors, while i make my way inside and light this place up! I think i know a place where to hide it, and then we can head over to that stage of yours! Now, follow me!"
After shouting that to Blitz, Zen took off towards Docking Bay 401-A, hoping that Blitz was right behind him. After getting fairly close, his suspicions were correct, as the place was heavily guarded. Zen let out a large sigh, and whispered to Kriegar.
"If you have any ideas, let me know! Otherwise, looks like we might have to stick to our original plan."

"The Jewel... interesting choice."
He listened to Zen carefully as he followed him to the docking bay, mentally improvising along the way. The security situation was dismal, but not impossible. He scanned the faces carefully as he picked out his route.
"Alright brother, looks like we'll have to do this the old way. Stay clear and make your way through the gaps for a while, I'll run back through and cut around to their flanks. I'm not missing out on this one."
Without giving much time to respond Blitz immediately turned back towards the way they came, perching himself above the catwalk, elevated from either end. As for his rifle, they had one advantage. Range and ambush. He steadied his breathing, dialing in on the closest target. He checked his optics twice before he stabilized. The man turned to face his direction, allowing for a strong center mass shot. It rang out, echoing off the walls as the man's torso was eviscerated to a bloody pulp from the force of the round. He continued taking targets before he moved around the wall of the bay, the small force opposite of him partially concentrating towards his fire. He only hoped Zen was making reasonable progress on his end.

As soon as Zen heard the loud echoing shot, he took off running. Sprinting past a guard's dead body, he fired off two blaster bolts from his pistol. Quickly taking cover in front of the door, he squeezed off a shot at the guard covering the ship. Zen hoped Blitz was okay, but he stayed on his path. Slamming his code into the door, it slid open, and he closed it as fast as possible. Climbing into the cockpit, he powered up the engines and shields, and took off as fast as possible, the turret firing back into the Docking Bay, hopefully killing off any of the remaining guards.
"Now i just need a spot to land this thing...."
Zen thought as he pulled the Jewel towards the ground, staying as close as possible to the tree-line.

Blitz slid down the ladder, throwing his rifle aside as he bolted for the door. The two remaining guards were beginning to close in on him as the rest were shredded by the ship's turret. Each side let off a small volley of fire as they pursued him outside of the hangar. He was slightly relieved to have seen the ship take off, but still had himself to worry about. He silently drew his blade underneath his pistol, waiting around the corner of the bay. The true disadvantage of blood red and stark white armor, was you could be picked out from a mile away. The faded footsteps drew closer as he blindly fired a trio of bolts from around cover with unknown result, before firing his jetpack. The guard was taken by surprise by the angle, a fraction of a second that would prove fatal as he crumpled to the ground by the single bolt. His comrade quickly took his place, unable to find a target as Blitz climbed up to the balcony, sprinting the length of the building. As the ship disappeared from view, he hoped Zen was its pilot. Glancing through the window brought the sight of corpses, but none Amaran to his relief. The remaining guard below creeped slowly through the tight alley, a keen, vengeful eye out for the slightest movement in the dim space. Blitz's boots clacked down on the pavement as he dropped down behind the man before he made it any further.
"Don't -"
Of course, no good deed goes unpunished as the man spun around instinctively, blaster drawn. Blitz had no choice but to take the shot, despite his intentions. He quickly made his way inside, grabbing his rifle before making his way back to his own ship before any more trouble arrived. He rearmed, gathering what he could for departure before he headed out underneath the large stage. All that's left was to wait.

Zen's heart was racing as he piloted the Jewel as low to the tree-tops as he could, luckily he managed to see a clearing in the forest just big enough for the ship to fit. Carefully, he set the ship down before frantically powering everything down, hoping the two Aurek Fighters his sensors had picked up earlier hadn't seen him. A thunderous noise zoomed overhead as he heard them fly over, but thankfully it was getting dark, and they likely hadn't seen them. Slouching back in his seat, he took in a deep breath, and tried to not think about what he was getting himself into. Securing the cargo bay, he removed a Disrupter Rifle and slung it over his back, before he began the long walk back towards the city.
Zen was getting angered, the T'surr guard wasn't letting him move, and no matter how hard Zen tried, saw no way around him. Sighing, he tried again, and remembered the credits in his pocket.
"You know, I have some other forms of.....persuasion."
He said, handing the guard his credits. Evidently, he accepted graciously, and bowed to Zen as he walked in the gate. Blitz is going to be furious, it was nearly full darkness, and he was still about 20 minutes away from the stage.
Oh well.... Zen thought, as he continued the walk into the crowd of people near the Slave Market.

You and your friend certainly like to make a scene, don't you?
A figure seemed to appear from the shadows right near Blitz. It was pretty obvious why Phantom was called what he was. Wearing pitch black light armor and body suit, save for his white mask, and what little details it had on it. A stealth generator also helped, but it wasn't truly necessary.
Phantom didn't have any obvious weapons on his body. Save for two combat knives and two verpine pistols, he was defenseless.
You were the one Adam wanted me to meet up with.
It was a statement, not a question. Phantom knew exactly who he was suppose to meet up with down here, and what escapade this man, and his new friend, has been on. This settlement may have been large, but not large enough to hide something like what they have been doing, or will be doing for that matter.

"Helps the image."
Blitz stared slowly at the figure before him, inspecting every inch somewhat noticeably.
"Well then, you sure are one shady bastard."
Although that was to be expected to some degree, and it wasn't as if that statement didn't apply to himself relatively well. He glanced over his shoulder at Phantom's initial comment with minute surprise, turns out the Amaran didn't get cold feet after all. The disrupter rifle over his back brought along a slight grin aswell.
"Good to see you didn't drown in greed."
His gaze returned to Phantom with a quick nod towards the bay.
"So I'm guessing you've got a special concoction for getting this done quicker."

Zen was immediately confused about the situation. A man was standing next to Blitz, and for a second he thought it was the agent from earlier, but thankfully it wasn't. Slipping beneath the stage, he let his mind run freely with questions.
Is this a trap?
Who was this other person?
Are they hostile?
What is going on?
He put his curiosity aside for the moment, instead deciding to ask what he had gotten himself into.
"So Blitz, i seemed to have noticed your friend here. Mind telling me what exactly is going on?"

Nothing too fancy. You, with all your gear, take the heat and do the distracting. In fact, ill even let you kill the big guy if you want.
Phantom looked at the newest man to join them. This man was wearing a rather confused look. Obviously he wasn't tracking Phantom being here, or even what was going on. Phantom didn't know why he was here, but it was just another body to be shot at.
An assassination. Apparently you have been drawn into it.

"Good to know why you're here then."
An assassin then. Fitting for his appearance and not surprising to the least. He could already list a thousand reasons and names for that matter who would want this bastard dead, but that was aside the point. Also on the up and up to know everybody's allegiances here aswell, under the circumstances.
"Let's get to it. Whatever you're going to do make it fast and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty."
For his type, it most likely wouldn't be uncommon to leave the rest high and dry at the first sign of a rumble. Regardless, they all seemed slightly trapped into their own web of self conveluded schemes for being here. He leaned towards Zen, speaking in a hushed tone as he began to approach the ship at a fast pace.
"Watch my ass, once we're in we're on our own with half the time to spare. Pull the trigger on anything that ain't red an' white, even him if you have to."
Blitz discreetly readied his blade while he approached the man exiting the ship across from him. He didn't know how many were in there, but they were about to find out. He analyzed every detail of him, especially his light armament at the ready. Phantom hadn't been particularly clear on his definition of "distraction". Seems this would have to work.
"Evenin'. This thing yours?"
"Relatively, what is your b-"
"Good. I have delivery for your kidneys."
The razor sharp beskar pierced through slightly above the man's armor with ease as it glided out through both sides, the corpse dropping with an audible thud. Blitz swiftly unclipped a thermal detonator as he strong armed it for the ajar door. He dropped down behind the paneling of guard rail quickly after, since neither would keep him from taking a bolt. The assassin would definitely have his distraction, at least.

Worry raced through Zen's mind, but he remained calm, and listen to Blitz as he whispered his 'distraction' to him. Taking his Disruptor and gripping it firmly in his hands, Zen watched Blitz approach the ship, followed by the sound of the man's corpse hitting the ground. He saw Blitz take out the Thermal Detonator, and began firing widely into the crowd and the air. Diving behind a guard rail on the other side of Blitz, he peeked up and shot at the few of the guards moving in on them. The stench of burnt flesh and blaster scorching hung heavy in the air, and Zen quickly changed his Power Cells before shooting back into the crowd at anything, really.
"So, what does your friend need to do with all of this time!?"
Zen shouted over the sound of Blaster bolts slamming against the panel. He doubted it could take another volley, and ran over to Blitz's side, squeezing off a few shots while running. Hearing the scorching sound near his feet as he ran, he slid down next to Blitz.
"I hope you know what your doing, and if you have any bright ideas for escape, I'd love to hear them!" He said to Blitz, raising to deliver another volley at the advancing guards.
