*Laoch stopped suddenly. He knew not what, just yet but something big was going down. Kieran too was hit by a feeling. More than a feeling. He knew. Turning face towards Laoch his right hand shot up resting on his brother's shoulder & spoke* -Kieran- "The Old man is dead." Laoch looked left to right and asked. -Laoch- "What old man?" *Rage filled Kierran's eyes* -Kieran- "Thee Old man you idiot!" Laoch nodded humoring his brother* - Laoch- "Ohh! That old man." * Eyes thinning he asked* -Laoch- "Ever been on an antipsychotic before?" * Kieran now lifting left caught Laoch's other shoulder & shook the man roughly* "An Tirana you idiot!" The point struck home & Laoch also grasped Kieran by the shoulders. The pair shared this moving Kodak moment for some time. The Hound sat staring as these lame brained morons shared in their grief*

*Boland moved swiftly, not so much due to speed but a certain grace and knowing where he wanted to go. That noted, slipping from chair he spun taking Grace under the left bicep with with his right. Sweeping Mauren off her feet, who had strangely know that standing on her chair would aid this move, he rested the now giggling child on broad left shoulder. Neither the woman, not the girl for that matter protested and that was fine with Boland. Maureen giggled, as Grace followed more grudgingly but not resistant. He was going to hear about this. The Raven sat stoically on the woman's shoulder. He wanted reduce the man to a heap on the ground but not now. They walked across the floor. Boland was a big man with a sharp glare. The four made for a bizarre looking combination even in the freak show that was Bespin. The odd quartet moved towards the door and left quite uneventfully*

*& griefstricken hugfest having overstayed its' welcome 10 minutes past, in a fine show of who they were the two Dubh boys each tossed a right, setting each other on their ass ends. Kieran rolling to hands & knees coughed, spitting up some blood, pulling revolver from left side, he stood & found himself face to face with Laoch, already standing, his own gun aimed at Kieran. Both men started laughing at some point. Kieran eyes narrowing spoke* -Kieran- "Think they buried him?" * -Laoch- responded sharp* -Laoch- "You think they're smart enough to bury him?" Kieran's eyes widened in rage, then grew passive. Both men bolstered their weapons, turned around & began to walk back towards from where th they had came. The dog followed*

*Bespin had long been under the sphere of influence of accepted power brokers. Some flamboyant and attention seeking, others who quietly profited from the massive cash cow the gas giant engendered. A seed was planted long before had grown into a healthy tree bearing fruit ripe for the picking. Morrigan had a few apples picked at the drop of a hat*

Still supplying the First Order as well as the Hutt Cartel with tibanna fuel, Bespin's importance to The Organization remained. Bespin was a vital location capable of making or breaking a war machine. Without a constant supply of fuel, the size of a navy was rather inconsequential. Without fuel, ships were docked. And without ships, any thoughts of invasion could easily be swept aside. And now, with an alliance between The Organization and the Onderonian Federation, tibanna fuel freighters would be supplied and sent to ensure their allies could continue to operate unhindered. |

After some pretty standard security checks, be they quite through on Cloudy City as a rule,the ship was cleared to dock. Upon docking, and withstanding the typical pretty awkward silly unnecessary come on,the three headed off to enjoy the spirited atmosphere of the city. Alem tossing right arm around Shakk, But spoke -Gid- "I need to take care of some business. Catch a ride on the shuttle in five. Chow" And Gid was gone

As their sister battered with their lives Alem and Shakk had been enjoying the swingers life on Cloud City. They watched some women dancers. More than one Twi'leck Shakk had noticed. But no males of her species. Shrugging that off she and they hit the Yarith, the infamous Heroin hotel. And there they enjoyed some gaming at the Pair O'Dice Casino. The play on words made her gigle. She warranted a little attention but after Alem, arms gesturing wide and slow with every word showing off those broad shoulders and massive hands, explained to one man "I'll tear out your larnyx if you push thing any further with her" people chilled. Considerably. After a time Gid returned and the three left the establishment. Boarding their Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft they exited the city. Just before boarding Alem stabbed a small sign into to a flower pot in a central location The Tale of Three Twi'leck AN LUCHT SIUIL DHIUBH

After a hail was sending a hail to the traffic control Gid guided the Hand Maid Tail into the central spaceport. Little resistance was offered. Speaking to her sister, who how crouched on her left knee at her side Gid spoke -Gid- "Cloud City always has been an oddity; I mean the city is a floating entity set over a gas giant; it's not like one can just up and bomb the place." Laughing slight - Gid- "I mean come on! Bomb it? Sure...." The woman was distracted from her conversation as ship passed into the impeccably constructed spaceport and pa -Parking beast -Gid- "Bomb the city? No more city." As three piled out of the Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft Gid continued -Gid- "But worse the city is built over a gas giant; bomb the place and you risk hitting the planet." Alem carried on - Alem- "And BOOM!!! there goes the whole planet. And half the Outer Rim with it." The two giggling sisters strolled into bizarre floating casino that Cloud City was with Shakk trailing behind. The sign that they'd left on their last stopover still stood untouched. The Tale of Three Twi'leck AN LUCHT SIUIL DHIUBH A casino spokespersonapproached the two -Appalling Greed- "Ladies! Wonderful to have you! !! Become quite the celebrities here you know." Turning he screamed with right hand gesturing to the three -Appalling Greed- "Bruno! Spam! Get over here!" Two monsters of men strode over and stood in front of them at attention Shakk having just caught with Gid and Alem , stood wide-eyed listening -Appalling Greed- "Gurls you've become a bit notorious here you see?" Shakk blurted out -Shakk- "Are we under arrest!?!" The man laughed. His two goons laughed -Appalling Greed- "Lady I'd be busting my meal ticket. -Appalling-"Boys. Get these gurls de best room in du house!" Foster hand with thumb up pointing the three Twi'leck girls -Appalling- "Anthing you gurls need; tell em yur wit me - see? On the house." Hand out -Appalling Greed- And u'd be?" Taking the extended hand -Gid- "I'm Gid...." With an overbearing seriousness in his voice -Appalling Greed- "Gid it's a pleasure to have you." His attention turning to Alem -Appalling Greed- "Good evening madam." The girl smiled -Alem- please, call me Alem if you will, and it is at that." Smiling warmly he spun to the blue Twi'leck, his eyes widening -Appalling- "Aren't you a doll! I'm Appalling!" The unintended pun in his announcement passing by the stunned girl she took his hand -Shakk- "Hello. I'm Shakk." Voice rising up high - Appalling Greed- "Nice to makes Ur acquaintance Shakk." After some more outlandish schmoozing the three Twi'leck girls were ushered off to rooms. Gathering in Shakk's spread - Gid- "We milk this for all it's worth." Right hand saving and cutting off any rebuttals -Gid- "Not like we're trying to be discreet. But." Eyes moving between her two siblings -Gid- "This type of hysteria doesn't tend to last that long." Alem added -Alem- "And quite often it comes down with a crash." Gid nodded -Gid- "And some hard. that said, for the time being this place in on the list." Shakk went to her room to you with weapons while her sisters conspired

The welcome was warm. They push Shakk out but she really was shy to the limelight and retreated to her room at any given chance. The other two girls socialized as much as they could. Alem at the finely assembled gym received a free membership and a weighty group of onlookers to watch her workout. Of course Gid played the role, using the opportunity to gain even more leverage. At some point Shakk asked -Shakk- "Gid can we go now." After speaking with a near weeping Appalling Greed they Gid there farewells with promises to return Arriving at the Cloud City spaceport they found a Firespray-31-class that appeared to be brand new; The Hand Maid Tail had been shined nice. A smiling Appalling Greed winked -Appalling Greed- "We are take care of our people here." Shuffling onto the ship the three left in a hurry and Cloud City returned to the regular non-stop party it always was without missing a beat

As The Twi'leck Three entered Cloud City they soon realized that their moment of glory was far from over. Indeed the euphoria that had swept the city inspired by their mere statement against the powers that be had only grown. Like a rock hitting water a ripple had grown. And this wave was far from over

Appalling Greed was a showman. A salesman. And he was what Cloud City required to breath the fullest life that the casino town possibly could. He signed and dined the three Twi'leck, Gid on his Dexter arm and Alem on the Sinister with Shakk trailing behind. With them seated he moved on quick to the bigger fish. Alem asked between clenched teeth -Alem- "Gid.... What do w...." Her sister cut her short - Gid- "Shut up and enjoy." A man passing stopped to chit chat with Gid and caressing his libido entertaining the small talk. The blue Twi'leck rolling her eyes asked -Shakk- "Are we going soon?"

Things change and many struggle with that cold fact. Many in fact live for change. Gid was more than willing to ride a wave of fortune but at heart she too was a vibrant animal. Standing suddenly she announced as much to herself as the others -Gid- "Time to go." Both Alem and Shakk were on their feet before their sister finished. Nodding Gid led the way, passing farewells to several of the many then stopping for a long talk with Greed who nodded and smiled then snapping fingers had two strapping brutes escort the ladies to the Cloud City Spaceport. The two unnamed security guards had the three Twi'leck girls boarding their ship within minutes. Alem and God thanked the men as Shakk scurried onboard. With no fanfare the ship exited Cloud City quietly

Rhiannon's claimed alcoholism was fortunately no longer a horrible nasty rumor that filled the gossipy halls of the elite Jedi establishments of Coruscant. That scandalous nonsense had no place on Cloud City. No. On Cloud City it was a well established fact that Rhiannon was a lush. A sophisticated lush but a lush nonethesame. As she staggered, ever so slight, along a winding hall. And there he was. Head of her staff, Captain C. Captain -Rhiannon- "Well hello!" And the poor man with the aid of two assistants brought the lady back to her room

Cordially greeting The Twi'leck Three at the Cloud City spaceport, Apalling Greed, the resident big shot, had Gid, Alem and Shakk, the latter with the Jubba bird nestled in her shoulder, whisked away to a handsome suite. The room, or more accurately put rooms, rental was covered by the upper echelon of the massive casino, where the party never stopped. The light the three ignited by the rebellious spirit had perhaps dimmed slight but still shone bright. Celebrity.... The women basking in the glimmer were wined and dined. Mingling they formed contacts new whilst entertaining old associates. It was an utterly exhausting enterprise but bore great fruit. And as Gid and Alem circulated wide Shakk remaining aloof hid in the shadows

Having avoided the pointed fact that for some time she'd been bucking her duties as a member of The Council of First Knowledge for some time, Rhiannon had finally faced this hard fact head on. In answer to the inner turmoil she had developed a most convincing argument, namely: she was enhancing her understanding of the unique lifestyle among those who frequented Cloud City by means of an intense empirical study. This of course demanded that she immerse herself deeply in the cultural norms of the subject people of this sociological study. Hence, her growing dependence on alcohol and gambling habit Drink in hand, the Jedi watched the three Twi'lek. Interesting little sociological study centered on their story. Paragraph? Maybe even a book. Chastising herself for such immediate considerations, yet still continuing to she observe closely. But now her attention was much more suited to her calling in life. How old were they? what were their names. Yes. The red girl riddled with tattoos was Gid. And the green one with all the muscle? Goodness. She certainly enjoyed the gym that one... Alem! That was it! Pleased with herself and taking another drink to elebrate, her eyes rested on the blue girl. Shy. Kept an accented distance from the limelight. And even from a distance the girl made the Jedi wonder if the girl suffered from a mental disorder. She stood watching. And worrying The Jedi did not miss the poster signs. They certainly were not central but prominent enough and it took very little to put two and two together..... The Tale of The Twi'leck Three AN LUCHT SIUIL DHIUBH

The Twi'leck were shown to their own Suite # 666. Walking in the door Gid inquired -Gid- "Would you have access to any nitroglycerin? For medical use." The young managerial staff member looked a slight bewildered -Gid- "Just pulling your chain there. No worries." Adding quickly -Gid- "Lovely suite by the way." Nodding he said enthusiastically - Cloud City Hotel Stiff- "Only the best. Would you like a tour?" And they did. Settling in afterwards Alem commented -Alem- "Big diff from swamp planet - no?" Laughing the pair settled into the scene. Ride the wave before it dies. She said muttering -Gid- <<And know when to get off or you'll be dead yourself....>> Turning attention to her sister -Alem- "What Gid?" The red Twi'leck waving off the question said -Gid- "Nothing." Thinking she added -Gid- "Just.... If I say 'we're going.'" Finished her sister added -Alem- "We're gone." The two exchanged a palm smack before returning to enjoying the luxuries the place had to offer. Meanwhile Oscar, the Jubba bird, sat on Shakk 's left shoulder as the pair ate popcorn watching the Holonet. The girl finally past out. Her sisters also were drifting peacefully somewhere in la la land....

And.... (Drumroll if you will) Gid said clear -Gid- "We're going. And Alem following up her word stood to her feet and headed for the nearest exit. Heartfelt goodbyes were exchanged. Some wept. Some uneasy jokes were exchanged and laughter ensued. And all that sentimental BS. I could go for hours.... However, cutting to the chase, Gid and Shakk, following Alem, made their way to the Cloud City Spaceport. The hatch of the Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft, The Hand Maid Tail, dropping the three Twi'leck boarded.

Aside from the odd lowlife that attempted to swindle some credits at the casinos, or the occasional unpaid fine for unauthorized smuggling, Cloud City continued to function smoothly. The Organization privately ensured that Bespin was well protected without being obvious about it. Baron Administrator Devlin Tal remained true to his word, continuing to operate Cloud City as efficiently as possible, while still managing the tibanna refineries and overseeing the continued flow of fuel shipments. The First Order was the biggest customer at this time, though given the size of the Imperial Armada, that wasn't surprising. The Hutt Cartel's demands lessened over the past several months, though there was still a trickle of freighters that delivered to them. The Onderonian Federation was also supplied, though on a significantly smaller scale. And the Geonosian Monarchy continued purchasing bulk shipments as required. Overall, the production and refinement of fuel shipments for each customer continued unabated, allowing the Organization to continue to build its financial and economical foundations. Publicly, Baron Administrator Tal was the one who dealt with the public, though the Organization was pulling his strings, just like they were with the Geonosian Monarchy.
