Contacts and Contracts (Ask)

[Anton Byrax]

"This is a game of Mutual trust, iam relying on you just as you are on me. I have the contracts here if you would care to look over them, they ensure that BTC will not raise its prices above inflation and that if we did the contract would become void. There is nothing to worry about, all is in order."

[Kapar'in Va]

Celrek sat back in his seat, seemingly appeased. "Of course. That seems quite fair of you. How quickly do you think you can raise a fleet big enough to handle this business? I would also like to inspect the droid escorts before I let them protect my cargo." With that Celrek began reading the contracts that Byrax had distributed among the delegates.

[Anton Byrax]

"My company has estimated that it should no more that four weeks to acuire the Vessels, provided there is a suitable level of investment of your behalf. The Security Units will take longer and so the minimum amount time required will be in the region two months. You will all be welcome to inspect the fleet and security units once they have been puchased."

*Looking round once more at the delegates Anton grinned openly*

"The future is looking bright indeed."

[Kapar'in Va]

Ignoring the murmurs of excitement that spread among the other delegates, Celrek concentrated on the contract in front of him, looking for loopholes or other traps. He had been taken advantage of early on in his career and was damned if it was going to happen again. "Well, Lord Byrax, you seem to have a very ambitious mind. However, I feel that until you can provide proof of adequate protection for our goods, I am hesitant to give you anything. However, if our investment is refundable should we find a partnership unreachable, I would be willing to negotiate."

[Anton Byrax]

"Of course, if it pleases you i will instruct my company to order the security units first so that you can inspect them before any operations are undertaken. The funds provided by you will be fully refundable should you for any reason wish not to proceed with our agreement. i will have my staff include a clause for this within the contract itself."

[Kapar'in Va]

"Well then, everything seems to be in order." Celrek stated as he signed his name on the bottom of the contract. "I will look forward to inspecting the droids once they are ready. I only hope that we can avoid another incident..."

[Anton Byrax]

*Anton gave a reassuring smile, glancing at the others in the group who had signed the contracts without hesitation he turned back to Celrek Neldres.*

"You wont have to worry about any further incidents, trust me when i say that i will do whatever it takes to protect my investments. Which in turn means your investments aswell. "

*Collecting the signed contracts, the noble quickly checked them.*

"I think our business is concluded Gentlemen. If you like you can dine in the hotel eatery, i have instructed the staff to prepare any foods you wish at the expense of BTC. I unfortunatly cannot join you as i must make preperations if iam to fufil my end of the contract. I shall contact each of you when the time has come, Good day."

*Bowing and shaking hands the Delegates shuffled out of the conference room, talking excitedly amongst themselves. Standing wearily Anton gave a sigh of relief and sat down, sealing the doors from a small control panel the young man produced a small object from his tunic pocket.
A shimmering holo image appeared from the palm of his hand, the shape of a Mandalorian appeared.*

"I have a job for you, there is a certain delegate i want you to meet. His name is Celrek Neldres............"

[Kapar'in Va]

"The one from Bespin? He will be dealt with accordingly. " the holograph responded simply before fading.

[Anton Byrax]

"Yes the one from Bespin. Make it an accident, I cannot afford to have a troublemaker as business partner."

*Checking the signature was still on the contract, Anton knew it would still stand even in the event of something happening to the Delegate.*

ooc: I will continue with Celrek's "accident" here...

Krypten Jeth had no problems picking Celrek out of the small crowd of delegates that left the conference room. He had spent the meeting memorizing all their faces for just such an occasion. He watched as Celrek broke from the group and approached a comm terminal where he placed a call to someone. "Dorak? It's Celrek. Yeah, I'm on Coruscant. You want to get together for a drink? Gerlek's Tavern? That's still around? I'll see you there then!"

Now that Krypten knew his quarry's destination, he needed to formulate a plan.

[Kapar'in Va]

Krypten waited a moment before following Celrek out onto the busy sidewalk. Celrek was already hailing a cab, so Krypten moved a little down the way to his left and did likewise.
"Gerlek's Tavern" he snarled to the driver as the speeder pulled away from the curb. It was a short ride to the tavern, and Krypen saw Celrek entering as he got out of his cab. Krypten walked past the bustling bar and headed down a deserted alley. Ducking quickly behind a dumpster, he activated his steath-field generator and made his way to the front of Gerlek's.

[Kapar'in Va]

Krypten waited until a large group of people were leaving the tavern and walked thorugh the door before it could close. He kept himself along the outer wall as he watched for Celrek. Finding him moments later, Krypten watched as Celrek and another man were laughing and throwing back drinks, obviously having a great time. Getting a close as he dared, Krypten listened in on their conversation, which consisted mostly of reminicing about old times. "Enjoy yourself now, my friend." Krypten muttered to himself before making his way back to the entrence of the tavern to wait.

[Kapar'in Va]

Several hours later, Celrek and his friend separated. Krypten, who had remained standing by the entrance the entire time was ready to make his move. Both of them seemed to be incredibly drunk as they staggered out onto the Coruscant sidewalk and said their farewells. Krypten watched as the other man walked away from the tavern and Clerek made his way over toward the edge to call for a taxi. Krypten fell in behind him walking so close, he could smell the alcohol. "It is a pity you are so unaware of your surroundings my friend. You would do well to be more observant."
As Celrek raised his hand to hail a taxi, Krypten placed his right foot under Celrek's right foot as he stepped forward. Kicking up slightly, Krypten was able to knock the Bespin businessman off balance enough so that he stumbled forward. In Coruscant, that is never a good thing. With a scream, Celrek toppled over the edge, an incoming cab, swerving to avoid hitting him, Krypten moved cautiously to the edge as he watched his victim fall. Byrax would be pleased. Any witnesses would say that they saw the man trip and fall for no reason upon leaving the tavern. Turning to go Krypten made his way several blocks from the bar before ducking into an alley and turning off his stealth generator. He than hailed a cab of his own and made his way back to Lord Byrax to report...
