It was a typical day at the facillity. Miners and mining droids went down into the tunnels, and weren't allowed to return unless they had struck spice. Buisiness was booming on Ryloth, and it wasn't just the slaving of the twi'lek women, though that often turned up good profits as well.
No, this was the spice trade. you couldn't just go from house to house and bargain with a twilek to trade one of their own. You had to go digging and tunneling to turn a profit here. For those who know how to manage it all, theres creds to be made.

Foreman Nagar entered the warehouse, labor drones carrying crates of processed ryll and stacking them atop one another. The specially designed crates were indisinquishable from the billions and billions of other crates in the galaxy. Completely sealed, there was no trace of ryll anywhere to be found. Authorities would find it far too hard to discover the spice hidden within. Scans conducted on the crates would turn up showing mechanical parts and foodstuffs. The warehouse overseer approched Nagar.
<"The cargo is ready for transport sir. But I must express some concern, if this 'transporter' Garuuba hired doesn't show up soon, we might have to postpone our operations.">
<"I am well aware of what could happen, overseer, but as forman, I must see to it that this cargo is transported off this rock, and that the mine's productivity is always 100%.">

The Fool’s Gamble flew into range of the Spice Mine. It was a large Cruiser custom built by none other, Fyurin Denasi.
Denasi was flipping a few switches as the cruiser docked in the Hangar. Fyurin walked, slowly, out of the cruiser. His gun was in hand as he pressed the button to open the Landing Ramp. As he stood on the lowering ramp Denasi looked around to scope everything out, to its last detail. He found some things that would give him a quick escape, if necessary. He walked down the ram and looked at the unloaded Cargo that would seem to be what he was transporting. As he thought back Denasi never thought he would have a life of smuggling, and collecting Bounties. But then he snapped out of it as his droid came down the ramp.
“Greeting: Hello master” HK-R1 said standing a bit behind his master. “Hi HK, did you prep the engines?” Denasi asked. “Confident Answer: To their fullest, my master. But may I ask… do you know who we are dealing with?” “Not at all…”

Just as Foreman Nagar was about to head back into the facillity, a protocol droid approached him. The old droid spoke,
"Master, the smuggler has arrived."
<"At last. And never say 'smuggler' droid! This is a secret operation.">
Foreman Nagar then left the droid and the warehouse and walked over to the hangar bay. Guards were alerted and were on standby, in case this smuggler turned out to be the authorities. No man or woman of the law had come to the facillity and left without being bribed or intimidated. Nagar entered the hangar bay and approached the smuggler. Noticing the smuggler was a human, the twi' lek chose to speak in basic,
"Ah, so you are the 'transporter' the boss hired. Welcome to our facillity. Foreman Nagar, and you are?"

Daryn watched as guards got ready to fire on him and HK. Then through the mists of it a twi’lek approached him. Denasi nodded to his droid, who then turned around and went up the landing Ramp. From there HK looked out the viewport to watch for the raise of a blaster.
“Ah, so you are the 'transporter' the boss hired. Welcome to our facility. Foreman Nagar, and you are?"
Denasi lowered his weapon and put out his hand, “Denasi”.
He looked all around the guards had twitched into place when he held out his hand. When they realized nothing was concealed in the armored hand they went back into a watchful position. Denasi waited patiently wanting to get the shipment over with. HK was now controlling the guns from the viewport, just in case there were aggressive negotiations.

Foreman Nagar reached out himself, shaking the smuggler's hand. The foreman decided to get right to the point,
"Well, Denasi, now that we've exchanged greetings, lets get down to business."
Nagar then turned and started to walk toward the warehouse, motioning for the human to follow him. While heading through the doorway into the hall, the twi'lek decided to give an overview,
"Now, I don't know whether or not you were informed when you accepted this job, but the cargo you will be taking to the smuggler's moon is of great value to the denizens there and my boss alike. It is of great importance that you deliver the cargo to Gauuba's Warehouse. And remember the speciffic route that has been chosen. You do know it, right?"

They had moved away from the ship, he began to get weary as the Guards eyed him as Denasi walked through the doors of the facility. The smuggler pressed a button that signaled HK that ‘everything was ok so far, but keep an eye out’. The button he pressed triggered a green light to blink twice. Then HK signaled back by pressing his button on the ship.
Denasi listened as he nodded following the Twi’lek toward the facility. Denasi heard the question, and then thought back. He had not been told of any ‘special’ route to take.
“No, I was informed nothing… Maybe that should be in the job description. This ordeal brings up questions. Such as what is through that path? Is there any danger reports from your men?” Denasi questioned.

Nagar was slighty surprised that the human hadn't been told of the speciffic route. The duty to give a proper job discription suddenly fell to him.
"Well, after the cargo is loaded onto your ship, you will travel to Salucami. Once in orbit, you will be contacted by a high ranking member of Garuuba's inner circle. There is an asteroid base there that you can refuel at if needed. After that, you will proceed to Nar Shaddaa and deliver the cargo to Garuuba's Warehouse."

Denasi stopped in his tracked when the Twi’lek gave him and answer. Salucami had nothing he had feared, Asteroids were not a problem, and Nal Hutta had nothing to intimidate him: A clear route. Denasi nodded as he thought, then he smiled.
“You’ve got yourself a ‘transporter’. Now let’s talk my language, Credits…” Denasi smirked as he crossed his arms.

Nagar thought for a moment. Though it wasn't his place to inform the human what his boss would be paying him, he supposed it wouldn't hurt.
"I knew this was coming. Nisquis, Garuuba's second, informed me before you arrived that if you deliver a full shipment, as much as your ship can haul, you will be paid ten thousand credits upon your arrival. Satisfactory?"

Denasi smiled as he thought about what he was gonig to do with his money. He then looked at the twi'leck and tried to to remember how much cargo he could hall. Then it came to him:
"30 Tons, that good?" Denasi asked.

The foreman thoght for a moment before replying. 30 tons was good enough.
"Yes, that will do."
Nagar paused for a moment before continuing,
"Well, now that that's settled, shall I send for drones to begin loading your ship?"

Denasi took this time to take note that he would need to be aware of everything while the drones will be loading up his cargo. Later he would have HK run an X-ray scan to make sure no explosives that could harm him were inside. He patted the Twi’lek’s shoulder and walked out quickly saying, “Bring in the Drones.”
On his way back to his ship Denasi noticed the guards were still watching him. He looked at everything around him. The Drones hadn’t been activated yet, and Denasi was sure he had time before they would start loading. During that time Denasi sat on a nearby crate. He looked up at his ship. The Landing Ramp was open and it is quiet easy to load items on it.
His Wrist-Comnlink started to blink a red light. That was signaling him that someone was trying to patch through. He clicked the ‘Accepted Transmission’ button. HK-R1 came up as a Hologram. He smiled at his and asked, “What is it?”
“Question: When will they start loading?” “I don’t know, the drones aren’t activated.” "Complaint: We’ll have them hurry… Don’t we have another run?” “No, not till next week HK.” “Statement: Ok, I’ll see you back on the ship.”
Denasi shut off the Comnlink and awaited the Drones to start up.

The drones were activated, coming out of the recharge room. The nearly mindless droids proceeded to pick up each crate out of the warehouse, and carry them over to the hangar bay. One by one, the drones carried their crates onto the human's ship, setting them down in the cargo hold inside.

Denasi looked over to see the Drones had turned on. They took crates one by one and stored them aboard. He got up and followed one in. Once inside he watched hem and where they placed the crates. Then after that HK approached him.
“Query: Problems?” “Not yet…” "Farwell: I’ll be on the bridge.”

After about a half hour, the last of the cargo was stored away on the human's ship. Nagar approached Denasi, and handed him a datapad.
"The coordinates of Mynock Station are in this datapad's memory, as are the coordinates of Garuuba's warehouse. Remember though, it is vital to the operation that you travel discreetly to Salucami's orbit, before going to Nar Shaddaa."

Denasi nodded, remembered what he had told him. The smuggler walked up onto the landing ramp. He pressed a button and it started to go up. “Will do.”
Denasi walked slowly up to the bridge, he overlooked at the cargo as he walked into the hall. From there he passed the crew’s quarters that were never yet to be used. The only ones with occupancy was his and HK’s. Denasi walked to a turbolift that shot him up onto the deck. He contacted the radio tower at the facility.
“Tell Foreman Nagar that his ‘Transporter’ is on the go. The goods will be safe.”
Before the tower could reply Denasi cut the transmission. He signaled HK and then take off. The ship rose from the the ground giving off a light fog. He flew out of the Hangar and the Fool’s Gamble slowly left the planet. Once he got toward space Denasi switched on the main engines. With a jolt the ship flew at lightning speed out of the atmosphere, the ship went into Hyperspace and off to Salucami.
