The Dark Academy on Korriban

A Shadow was the shadow. She deposited Hazzan's holocron at the secret dropbox alongside materials on the Black Vault, related suspicions about Anya Veers and an update on matters with Zash. And after that she disappeared.

MA8. Sneaking. Sleight of Mind.: 2eP+1eA+2eD+1eB 3 successes, 2 threat, 1 Triumph

Later, in another part of the complex, Moyr was chilling out before the Vigil, watching the thunderstorm.

MA8. Cool.: 3eA 1 success, 2 advantage

A slave that was not a slave tasked with cleaning the area makes the drop and then returns a small object sometime later.

She wandered off casually to pick up what had been dropped, then returned to her admirations of the weather.

"Lovely weather" Niriti steps next to Moyr. Now that she thinks about it, she could had used the woman on her latest business, but now it was too late. "are you ready to leave the Academy Moyr?"

"Haven't see anything like it before."

She admitted, having accounted for who she had come to be in conversation with. With a small smile.

"Yes, I suppose so. All packed."

"It's a rather strange omen, this weather." She added to her remark. "I guess it's a good thing that we're getting away, although I had just started to get to liking this place, and to settle into it. Would had liked to get some extra equipment for Yavin, but I needed more credits." She sighed with a smile. "I'll work with what I got."

"I like Korriban for the desert climate, and that's about it. No regrets leaving it. I have no masochist in me to like what we've been through here."

She looked around, then on Niriti, with scrutiny.

"For Yavin, I didn't take risks and have geared up a bit." A pause. "Short on money? Gambling issues?"

"Gambling? No I have no interest in gambling at all. I do have some equipment, but I find it still insufficient for the planet Yavin." She had looked for her personal defense, as well as the basics to survival, but without a clue to what could come to them, it all seemed possible, and more things were required. "I have a few savings, but I had to spend some money on a new business I started here."

"Ah, an entrepreneur. I understand why you will miss the place, having just started a local business. What is your market segment?"

"I don't have a shop per Se. " she raised her brows in an intriguing way. "but I have access to materials and things that people might have need of. Things that are difficult to get in normal shops."

"You're talking to a former independent galactic entrepreneur. Teasy beating around the bush in that department with me is rather pointless. Who have you hooked up with?"

Moyr looked at the intriguing brows with a 'please' expression.

"Actually, I got rid of some low life dealer and took over his business." Niriti was greatly surprised to learn about Moyr's abilities. They could had come to use for her had she known earlier. "That's my reason to go back to Korriban, an underground business to maintain and get me some cash"

"The Hutts."

Moyr said with a modest smirk, looking at her.

"And their man in the military."

"I got rid of the man that was working for the Hutt, a Twi'lek called Gram who had earned himself a big debt with them. Probably because of his addictions." Niriti brushed her weight from one foot to the other, balancing her curves from one side to the other. "The lowlife wanted me to do his dirty work, so I got rid of him and got the business from the Hutt. How did you know about them?"

"Nearly two months here and you expect me to not have made a few friends in the business?"

Moyr chuckled.

"I am surprised the wastefulness had been tolerated until you conveniently came by. Have you checked Gram's sewn-in body cache?"

"Well, I believe the Hutts were actually allowing this to build up, so that they could demand Gram a bigger bid. It might have been the distance from their Space that allowed this to go further, as well. Who knows? Who cares anymore?"

"Oh, dear, the Hutts never neglect their interests. If the standard operations have grown lax they have already sent an agent here to monitor the situation. And since you're the one who's taken over after a glaring failure, it is you who is watched."

Moyr smiled compassionately.

"I hope you can live up to the audit. You know what happens if you don't. You don't even begin to know how much Grem has screwed up and how great is the expectation that the spice trade losses are made up in whatever way necessary. Your departure to Yavin is unfortunate at this time. It looks bad."

"I see you know more than you show." She replied with a playful smile. "But I have dealt with what the Hutts wanted me to deal with. So I have that business finished with. Anyway that reminds me to inform them that it's done."

"Do hurry. There's still the time for them to get the wrong impression. You're too pretty for what could happen."

Moyr patted the other girl on the arm.

"Best of luck."

"I will take in kind consideration what you have said, Moyr. Maybe I should had used a fake name to get this job, but I have already left someone there until I come back, then I can settle things."

"I am glad you feel you have it handled. Self-confidence is at least a half of success, is it not?"

Moyr smiled.

"See you in space. I am actually going to brave the Sith ordeal."

With that, Moyr stepped out of the awning and moved fast toward the Tombs.
