"Tarnis" The burly, tattooed man in combat armor sneered at the hooded figure in the large holoterminal; some distance away, the echo of blaster fire could be heard... growing sparse. "We risked everything for you, stealing those data files, faking your kidnapping, this is how you repay us?"

"You were compensated with enough weapons and armor to make Black Sun invincible" the figure in the holo seemed remarkably unconcerned with the Black Sun Leader's anger.

"Invincible? There's a Jedi carving up my base!" On cue, the sounds of combat continued to give way to silence. "This is your fault, we should never have trusted a sith!"

"If a Jedi has come for you, Salarr, it wasn't my doing."

"Trusting a Sith was one of your many mistakes, Salarr" Idilan entered the room, lightsaber ready, Teeseven right behind. "Hello, doctor. I did think your kidnapping seemed too convenient."

"I'd have preferred a more graceful exit" Tarnis shrugged "but your Masters forced my hand. I have no time for this nonsense, Salarr. Finish your pointless battle."

"Surrender, now" Idilan kept his posture relaxed, hoping to end the confrontation without more death. "We can do this the easy way."

Behind the Black Sun Leader, the holocomm went off; behind Idilan, the sound of heavy boots rose. "Kill him!" shouted the gangster, trying to ready his weapon. "Kill them all!"

The hard way, then.
