Mission Report- Nar Shaddaa Spice is nice.

The group gathered intel and found collectively that the Freemerchants were using a storefront in Nar Shaddaa for smuggled goods, but there was something a bit off about the operation. Mel’ythe found a holocom of a female Chiss chiding another member of the smuggling ring about the shipments and that the location had moved. The holocall included an encryption of the location, where the dust was moved to. Septic had also found some scuff marks on the floor of the warehouse, leading away from a backroom. While the group began to investigate and stipulate where the scuff marks had come from a Cathar appeared in the doorway of the warehouse alarmed to see so many in the warehouse. He took off at a dead sprint away from the group within the warehouse, Karilek lead the group off after the Cathar ad through the streets of the Promenada. Reaching the higher Promenada, the group found they were faced with an ambush. Two others stood out to face the group, a man of medium build and several cybornetics, his reddish hair covered most of his left face while leaving the right side of his face visible. Beside him was a Chiss female, her black hair spiked up, in her hands was a large sniper rifle. Beside them the Cathar rejoined them, his cannon now slipped from the straps. Behind them was a large speeder filled with crates and crates of Dust, it seems this was the supply Ashe and company were looking for. Only they had three smugglers to get through to get towards the dust, and surprisingly enough Ashe seemed to recognize Marcus.



As far as fights go, it wasn’t a long one. In the end while Mel’ythe did take down Letu, the female Chiss smuggler. Her companions Bethekan and Marcus sought revenge as Bethekan charged forwards in a blind rage he caused Mel’ythe to drop unconscious while Ashe moved to help aid Mel’ythe only to be shot by Marcus in the gut, her body flopped to the ground beside Mel’ythe. With both Mel’ythe and Ashe down, Karilik and Spetic made to run to their allies, but before they could Marcus and Bethekan took their bodies and fled the scene. Now both Ashe and Mel’ythe are held as captive prisoners to the last of the Smugglers within the Freemerchants. Tobias having been Ashe’s last point of contact received the following message below.



“A man with redish hair covering most of his face is holding Ashe by her hair, the Arkanian looks pretty beat up and has a nasty gunshot wound. "Stealing from us isn't wise Commonwealth. Come face us, or watch your operatives die from your shadowy lair. Either way you'll never get the dust you seek. Meet us at these coordinates. {Data encryped Location Red light district, location.}
