Madotsuki raised an eyebrow in suspicion. Of course they wanted something—they had the perfect scapegoat now. What idiot would give up this opportunity? Whatever they were doing, the dreamer wanted no part of it. She rose up to leave, but the man clapped her on Monday the back and forced her back in her chair. In defense, she whipped out her knife and pressed it against the man’s neck in warning. Since they were in a secluded area, no one else was watching. The two girls promptly stood up, and Madotsuki realized that the brunette was a full head shorter than the other woman, and didn’t seem as prepared for these kinds of situations.
“Calm yourselves, ladies,” he stammered, holding his hands up in a peaceful gesture. “Look, can you at least listen to our offer before trying to murder-kill us?” A few moments passed, then Madotsuki retracted the knife and slumped back in her chair. The others did likewise, and while the shorter girl appeared relieved, the blond furrowed her to brow in distrust. The man sighed, lacing his hands together. “Alright, now that that’s settled, maybe some introductions are in order? You can call me Rush.”
The brunette spoke next. “I’m Madeline,” she said, then leaned in and whispered. “By the way, his actual name is Peter.” She and Madotsuki chuckled a little bit over this bit of information while Rush stared in confusion.
“What’s so funny?”
“Eh, it’s just girl stuff,” the other woman suggested, giving the two other girls a knowing smile. This only served to befuddle Rush even if further. “Anyway, my name is Svia. What about you, little one? What should we call you?”
Madotsuki had been a little hesitant to say anything at all, but the longer she stayed, the more this “gang” looked like nothing more than a tightly-knit group than an organization. If she had to trust anyone down here, it’d be these guys. It was either them or some other gang that wasn’t as friendly. After a few moments, she finally spoke. “…Madotsuki.” Her voice was gravelly, like she hadn’t spoken in years (although that wasn’t far from the truth). Rush nodded and grinned.
“Finally breaking the vow of silence, eh? Anyway, before we explain, how much do you know about Coruscant?” Madotsuki stared at him. So this place was called Coruscant? “Nothing at all, then? Alright. Coruscant consists of several tiers. Tier 1 is up top, and it’s crawling with cameras. It’s practically a dictatorship up there. Normally, the only way between tiers is to take an elevator, but there are also hundreds of tunnels. Things get more lenient until you reach Tier 7, which can barely even be called a city—it’s pretty much nothing more than a bunch of scrapyards and factories.”
“However,” Svia chimed in, “one of those factories is of particular use to us. The one we’re talking about specifically manufactures weapons for the Empire. If we can attack it, disable the power and take all of the weapons, we’ll deal a pretty decent blow against them. Plus, we’ll have quite a stock of weapons to sell. In summary, we need you to shut down the factory and its defenses. We’ll come in later and clean up. You’ll get a reward once the job’s done. So are you in?”
“I can come with you,” Madeline offered. “I could be the lookout or something.”
Considering that she had little else to work off of, the dreamer agreed.
“Great!” Rush stood up from the table. “Let’s go repossess a factory.”
“Calm yourselves, ladies,” he stammered, holding his hands up in a peaceful gesture. “Look, can you at least listen to our offer before trying to murder-kill us?” A few moments passed, then Madotsuki retracted the knife and slumped back in her chair.
