Chapter VII - Recruited by Giamons

THEM took the van they stole and headed to a factory planet called Nooker Six. They needed to lay low for a while and figure out what to do next. They no longer were backed by the Tundak Mafia and in fact were now being hunted. While resting in a bar on Nooker Six, they were approached by a simple looking Human who requested their services. Suspecting a trap, they were cautious, but listened to what the Human had to say. The Human stated that he knew who they were and wanted to use their reputation more than their skill. Interested, THEM decided to hear more and accompanied the Human to his ship.

The Human flew them back to Riax to one of the two large cruisers orbiting the planet. They were let to a meeting with Bez, a gigantic Daemon member of the Giamon Empire. The members of THEM were intrigued to know that it was the Giamon Empire that owned the cruisers. Bez explained to THEM that the Giamons were in negotiations for a takeover of the control of planet Riax and they needed an outside force to help the talks along.

The plan was simple. THEM would be transported to a high level meeting taking place with the officials on Riax. Upon arrival, they had three tasks. One: Kill one of the people at the meeting, a Human female. Two: Take a shot at another person at the meeting. However, at the last instant another person (a Giamon) would get in the way of the shot, saving the other's life. Both would then escape. Three: Make the attack look as random as possible, without any specific targets. A fourth, not essential task would be to kill another person at the meeting, a male Hylosus. To help convince the people at the meeting that it was not the Giamon Empire orchestrating the attack, a Batori and controller would accompany THEM. This would make it appear that the Radicals are behind the attack. The Batori's target would be the Jaganath battle droid protecting the meeting.

THEM were transported to the meeting using some kind of transporter unknown to THEM that passed through all of the transporter blocking fields that normally were in place. Once there, the attack was swift. Kolum quickly headed to the other exit to watch for additional guards and to pretend to block people from escaping. Anaximanda killed the Human target while Thrombosis took the shot at the target that was supposed to escape. The Giamon did get in the way of the shot but was not expecting Thrombosis to use a moisture disrupter. The intense pain of the disrupter slowed them down but they still managed to get to the exit. The Giamon shoved Kolum out of the way with obvious telekinetic power and escaped as planned. Yoyo and the Batori attacked the Jaganath battle droid while Hecate and the Batori contoller traded shots with other security personnel in the room. The Batori inflicted heavy damage on the Jaganath before being taken down by the droids massive antimatter rifle. The rest of THEM finished off the droid and Thrombosis claimed the antimatter rifle as his own. The Hylosus and a few others were killed before additional security with assault weaponry came into the room. Their mission complete, THEM were transported back to the Giamon ship. They were paid and taken back to Nooker Six.
