Princess Hellstab skips helpfully behind Yukki, explaining the subtleties of inter-tier gang politics.
"They don't play for keeps in T4, not usually," says the princess in her adolescent voice. "I mean, people die, but not like it is back in T5. In T5 it's kill or be killed, and these T4 kids can't play at our level, so they're not really Westside, they're just affiliates. The Hutts are strongest in T4, but they aren't really violent, not like the orcs are, so the T4 affiliates never bothered them. Now that the orcs are moving into T4, shooting up the place, all the affiliates have to learn how to fight like us. They want to be Westside now too; they need the weapons and the protection. The thing is, when you're Westside, our enemies are your enemies. So we gave them a mission, to track down this Hutt."
Yukki nods as he flips through the handwritten notes detailing the mission. The pair are passing through a gift shop on the way to a Teir-4 elevator, surround by key-chains and mugs saying things like 'I survived Teir-5!'. Princess Hellstab talks Yukki into buying her and oversized pink T-Shirt with the words 'Princess of Teir-5' on it.
Yukki smiled politely as the guards inspected his massive weapons cache and ran a background check on the bounty hunter. After a tense few moments (tense for the stormtroopers, not Yukki) they handed his weapons back to him and waved him through.
"Following a bounty?" one of them asks, politely.
Yukki shakes his head. "Just taking my niece to see some family."
Princess Hellstab grins adorably.

"Luci says as long as I kill orcs I can stay up as late as I want," the princess explains patiently.
The pair are sitting down at a Chinese-Gazzorpazzorpian fusion restaurant, waiting for their T4 contacts to arrive.
"Is the kung-pao flom-jom any good?" she asks the waitress, who shakes her head. "Oh," says the dejected Princess. "Then I'll have the...Kl!rg Won-Tons."
"Very good," says the waitress drly. "And for the gentleman?"
"He'll have the kung-pao flom-jom," the princess interrupts. The waitress nods and scurries away.
Yukki glares at the princess. "You're a real pain in my highness, you know that?" he growls.
Princess Hellstab shrugs.
"Why do you want to be a gangster, Yukki?" she asks. "Are you so tired of life already?"
"They don't play for keeps in T4, not usually," says the princess in her adolescent voice. "I mean, people die, but not like it is back in T5.
