Lielieja rolled her eyes at Dragumand’s attempt to defend himself. Though it was true that they had encountered more dark Jedi than usual recently, she hardly believed that the Sith would have any particular interest in this mediocre transport vehicle. She wasn’t so sure about the second half of his statement however. Though fighting Sith usually presented a challenge more adequate for their skill level, it was often more work than it was worth in Lielieja’s opinion. Those self-centered denizens of the dark side always felt the need to subject anyone interfering with their plans with the most long winded annoying monologues. Listening to them drawl on about their righteous views of the galaxy drove her crazy. All that small talk was Dragumand’s domain. Less talk more action was Lielieja’s way of things. There was nothing better than taking decisive action and executing your decisions (and usually your enemies) immediately.

Drumming her fingers against the elevator door, Lielieja waited impatiently as her partner looted the bodies of the fallen pirates. They would divide the money later. A little extra “bonus” for their work as defenders of the galaxy. Once he was finished, she stepped back from the elevator door to allow Dragumand to enter. She took the stims he offered her though she doubted she would use them. Injections weren’t really her thing. Pocketing them, she crossed her arms as the elevator began its slow descent to the hanger bay. Trapped together in the small metal compartment, the silence seemed heavy after the noise of combat. Apparently her partner could feel it too and did his best to break the silence with small talk. ”Not really,” Lielieja replied, ”And as fun as it is killing these low life pirates, I think I would have preferred a nap…” she added with a yawn. Perhaps the hangar bay would offer a bit more of a challenge…

Feeling the elevator slow even more, Lielieja let her arms drop to her sides and seemed to blend into the back of the elevator so that she would be nearly invisible when they opened. As she waited the briefest second for the doors to open, she did her best to reach her senses out to gauge how many enemies awaited them in the large room beyond but couldn’t get a clear feeling. When the elevator finally came to a half the doors slid open to reveal a large party of pirates who seemed to be arguing over whether or not the elevator was functioning or not. One pirate was particularly happy to be proven right, ”See! I told you it was working!” were the last words he would ever utter as Lielieja stepped forward and flung her arms forward with a powerful force blast that sent all in the area flying, many of them cracking their skulls against the durasteel deck as they fell backwards like rag dolls.

Stepping out of Dragumand’s way to let him past, Lielieja turned her gaze from the fallen pirates to the rest of the room. A number of smaller craft had already boarded which presumably accounted for the group who had been stupidly clustered next to the elevator. Even as she watched however a larger ship passed through port and set down in the middle of the cavernous room. ”Looks like we have company,” Lielieja commented, turning slightly to look over at her partner.
