[Audio - Introduction]

[cadbane]

[For now it's just a voice and that voice has a gravelly sound and a vaguely European accent. There's a no nonsense edge to the words.]

The name's Cad Bane and I'm seeking some information and some work.

I'm not sure I like a place that gives you a file on your life and recruits you without any negotiations on the paycheck. So right now I'm looking for a better deal. If it can be done, I'll get it done - even if you don't think it can be done - but don't waste my time with any tiny offers of payment or favors in return. You get what you pay for and I'm the best.

What jobs do I do? I'm leaving this open. Everything is negotiable.

Now, about this place and the people here. Tell me something more than what the official word is. Make it worth my while.

It can seem a but assumptive, but know that the first job is optional. Only to make sure your have some money coming in until you can set yourself up.

[Revan's tone isn't apologetic, more pragmatically informative. ]

Personally I'm curious of your abilities. An open brand is intruiging.

Audio

[cadbane]

Let's just say I have a reputation for challenges. Maybe you've lost something or someone and you need them found.

That's just one example.

[There may be something shady or evasive in the way he's not giving a straight answer on such a public forum.]

[gravedangers]

Dare I ask what job they attempted to assign you?

[cadbane]

Something about acting in a Wild West show.

My talents could be put to far better use than that.

[dun_moch]

Cad Bane. Well, now. You certainly don't waste any time getting to work, do you?

[The bounty hunter's arrival is an unexpected pleasure, and it shows in Count Dooku's inimitably deep voice as he responds. The Count always has need for people of Bane's particular skills to do his dirty work... and he knows from experience that this person will do almost anything if the money is right.]

It may interest you to know that there are Jedi here.

[Private audio]

[cadbane]

[He does recognize that voice - and he's none too happy about it. Did Dooku have something to do with Bane being here? Besides, that attempted ransom of the Chancellor was a fiasco; the Count never turned up and the bounty hunter never did get paid. This had happened not long before he found himself here so it is very fresh in his mind.]

You owe me, Dooku. You want me to hunt down some Jedi, it's going to cost you triple on top of what you already owe.

Sometimes the TVs say they have new shows but they're just repeats. I think it's a conspiracy.

Audio (for now)

[cadbane]

To what ends?

[carbonfrozen]

[Finally, someone who isn't relying on text or video! Han is relieved, to say the least, but less so when he hears the name. There's something familiar about it, even if he doesn't quite know where he heard it from just yet.]

What did they stick you with, huh?

[audio]

[cadbane]

Acting in some Wild West show.

[audio, using alias Tanith Pontha]

[kestreldawn]

Well, you're a bit pushy, aren't you?

[audio]

[cadbane]

Just being straightforward.

Private

[stretchy_girl]

Do you ever let moral considerations obstruct getting it done?

Private

[cadbane]

Why do you want to know?

[ video ]

[hostage]

Hope you like reading.

[Because he's sending this link along.]

[Audio]

[cadbane]

That seems like a lot of political nonsense in a world I've never heard of and shouldn't be my concern.

But since I seem to be stuck with it for now, I'm going to make the best of it.

[Video]

[sleight_of_hand]

What are you; some kind of jack of all trades?

[ Don't think he didn't notice that audio contact from Dookie. Geeze, how many people does that guy know? ]

[Video]

[cadbane]

You could say that.

[faithfulson]

Did they give you a ridiculous job when you arrived too?

[ One of these days, he'll find a way to change his ID so Luke Skywalker isn't splashed everywhere on the network. That day is not today. ]

[Audio]

[cadbane]

[Not recognising Luke himself, he doesn't yet bother to notice the Skywalker name.]

They said something about acting in a Wild West show.

[musclemothers]

You're going to have to give us more than that you can do everything. Give us some examples, or something.

audio

[cadbane]

That would limit my options.

[Plus publicly listing kidnapping and theft is probably a bad idea.]

But if you want one example of my work in the past, I've tracked down a lot of criminals so they can be brought to justice.

[He hadn't done that so much recently but it was true he'd done it, especially when he'd first started bounty hunting.]

[Audio]

[aberranthubris]

You have a truly marvellous self-confidence. I you don't mind me asking, what did you do before this place?

[Audio]

[cadbane]

I find marked men and bring them to justice.

[Among other more illegal activities.]

[maevelous]

I find that anything is usually a bit too vague of a promise for people to offer you anything serious, darling. Though I do recommend Maurtia Falls if paid by job and not necessarily commit to anything long term. Given the right circumstances, you can earn quite a bit there.

audio;

[cadbane]

Oh, I don't know about that. I've already had a few offers and I wouldn't want to restrict myself, if they're willing to pay enough.

What jobs are going on in Maurita Falls?
