The thrusters fired as Bubba manuvered the shuttle away from Captain Hall'd's ship. Leaving the Scurrg H-6 was a little like leaving home because it had been Bubba's home for many months now. This was to be Bubba's opportunity to show the Captain that he could handle a weapons purchase on his own and cut a good deal in the process. The proposed purchase consisted of Merr-Sonn munitions and whatever Blastech blasters he could get his hands on. He really wanted to pick up a DL-44 if he could, but that was probably not likely because they had just come onto the market. The shuttle was almost on approach to the little landing pad set up by the arms dealer when Bubba looked over at the droid Hall'd had assigned to accompany him on the buy. It was a human replica named Cay'n that had been damaged when a simple salvage operation had gone bad, leaving the droid with a jagged wound on his left arm. The droid's flesh was only cosmetic so the good captain had left it that way because it made the good looking, silver haired droid look a little rough. The droid was usually fairly silent, and that was good for Bubba because he always felt a little silly talking to a droid. As they approached the pad though, Cay'n turned to him, looked at him with those piercing silver irises and said, |

"This is an incorrect assessment of a landing pad. The logical route would have been to come from the east and avoid the local inhabitant's." Cay'n said in a monotone of emotion. |

"By all that's holy!" Bubba spoke forcefully through clenched teeth, "Do you always have to do that?" It was starting to make sense why the Captain was laughing as they closed the airlock on the ship. If the droid made it back in one piece it was going to be a miracle. Bubba brought the shuttle in fairly smoothly and landed on the small pad with barely a hiccup. The look on his face seemed to keep Cay'n from speaking again. Ushered into the weapon salesman's lair, Bubba took a deep breath of Geonosis' thick air and with a sidelong glance at Cay'n, began his long, salutory introduction to their business deal. The Geonosian that appeared to be the leader stopped Bubba with a motion of his hand. "We still wish to deal - but the values have changed." Bubba's heart dropped, this deal had to go through or he was back to working the long, deep space transfers. "We have 150 of the Blastech DL-44s but now we have a variety of other weapons to make up for the smaller number." OK, Bubba thought to himself, let's see what they are going to come up with... "You have your choice of any four of the following," The Geonosian walked along a long table and pointed to the weapons as he named them, "KX-80 repeating blaster rifle, E-5s sniper rifle, GLX Firelance, Arkanian blaster rifle, Corellian Destroyer, Dawnsorrow rifle, Scalphunter rifle, Senate Guard ceremonial blaster rifle, Sith sniper rifle or the DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System." Bubba was at a loss, knowing only what he personally preferred to carry so he looked at Cay'n. Cay'n walked over to the table and carefully picked up the Senate Guard ceremonial blaster rifle, the DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System, KX-80 repeating blaster rifle and the Corellian Destroyer. Bubba slowly exhaled, brought the heavy sack of Republic credits up from his belt and then strolled over to the table in front of the Geonosian. Opening it, he upended the bag and let the credits fall magestically onto the table. The Geonosian's eyes narrowed as he spoke, still staring intently at the credits, "Deal! now take your weapons and GO!" Bubba started pushing the cart with the weapons, followed closely by Cay'n and hightailed it back to the shuttle. Cay'n slammed the hatch behind him in an uncharacteristic fashion as Bubba fired up the shuttle's power plant. In no time at all the planet was getting smaller behind them and Cay'n finally spoke, |

"In my analysis that could have come to a better solution. Termination is a likely choice." |

"Whose termination? Ours? Theirs? Why do you always talk in riddles?" Bubba took his eyes away from the panel only to see Cay'n's blank expression. Apparently he had said all he was going to say. As the shuttle finished climbing out of the Geonosian atmosphere, Bubba began the arc to meet the Captain's ship, Azalus. As the Azalus cleared the horizon and came into view, something seemed terribly wrong. She seemed to list to the side and the command port was dark - something that would never happen while in the middle of an operation. "Bloody hell, now what?" |

"It has appeared that something has happened." Cay'n spoke as they approached the ship. Bubba hops out of his seat rushing to get into the starship. Cay'n slowly walked through the airlock into the Azalus, Bubba was kneeling over two Weequay's checking there pulse. Hall'd was laying on the floor with exactly five blaster burns on his carcass. "It appears as the master has, as you humans say it, went out flinging". |

"Thanks for the observation droid, but the phrase is going out fighting." Bubba was shocked at the carnage that lay before them, but could not help breathing a sigh of relief that it had occurred while they were down on the planet. Now there was no telling how long they had before someone returned to loot the ship so they needed to move quickly. A quick check of the ship's controls showed that the attackers had disabled the drive systems so they were going to have to take the shuttle if they planned to go anywhere. Bubba yelled to Cay'n as he moved quickly to his quarters to grab his bag, "If you have anything you want to bring, grab it and meet me at the shuttle." Cay'n stood by the Captain's body, cocked his head to the side and then swiftly disappeared into a storage room. |

Cay'n walked into the storage room and grabbed the tool box that he has used ever since he was first built. He met up with Bubba in the shuttle and they started of back to the planet. |

The now familiar trip down to Geonosis lacked the excitement of the last time. Bubba glanced over at the droid and saw nothing registering differently on Cay'n's face. Bubba felt angry at the lack of emotion but it was understandable in the droid. The bigger problem was the lack of emotion that he noticed in himself. It was like the only thing going through his thoughts was the incredible opportunity that had just presented itself to them, and curiousity at how it was going to all turn out. Bubba was mad at himself for this, and knew that there was time to dwell on it later, first they had to unload these weapons and convert the funds into a worthwhile ship. The planet was looming large now, "OK Tin Man, where's the space port that the smugglers all use?" |
