Skeang landed on the planet's surface he had gotten so caught up in the race he had lost track of Lents and decided to wait. He caught the eye of a rather small being he could not identify it kicked him out of the blue without warning. Impuslivly Skeang lifted the scrawny thing with 1 arm and began to poke at it with 1 hand eventually throwing it away after which he continued waiting for any clue to where lents was.

Lents hurried to Nal Hutta but his Y-wing was considerably slower than Skeang's Headhunter. Even though that was also a ship from 5 hundred years ago, it hadn't been used at all and was still in decent condition. Lents' Y-wing, however... Lents finally reached Nal Hutta, not generally a planet where one would go willingly, but he and Skeang needed some cash for their galactic escapades. He flew in a the same vector, reading the ion trails of the Headhunter's rear thrust. Lucky for him the combination of Nal Hutta's atmosphere and the slight decay of the matel inside caused this phenomenon. He finally spotted Skeang and his headhunter waiting at the fringe of the jungle near Bilbousa, the planet's capital city. He landed his Y-wing with a thud as the repulsorlift sputtered, then climbed out, shaken from the short drop. Lents saw Skeang poking a small animal and tried to tell him to stop. When Skeang threw the animal away, Lents tried reaching out to its mind to calm it down, but as Lents made contact, the animal squealed and darted away, terrified. Lents was confused by this. He had always had an affinity for touching minds, why would that happen now? He sat the issue aside to worry about later, and headed into the city, to find a decent Hutt that wanted some hard-pressed spice runner killed. Lents didn't want to kill people that were only doing what they needed to to eke out a living in these hard times, so he hoped they could go for a genuine criminal or even just some nonsentient creature that was causing trouble. Maybe if he and Skeang were lucky, an influential Hutt would want some imperial officer sticking his nose into the area done away with. Lents had no qualms about hunting imperial scum. People deserved to be free to do as they choose, and it was up to him and the Jedi Knights to make sure the free people got along. The dictatorial Empire was a perversion of the natural order; the way things should be. As he thought, Lents wanted more and more to hunt down someone involved with the imperial government that made the mistake of messing with the Hutts' realm. He voiced his opinions to Skeang, knowing he would agree, although Lents thought 'I know he hates the Empire, but if needed, he probably wouldn't have qualms hunting anybody,' but didn't tell Skeang in case he offended him.

Skeang hurried to lents as he saw him appologizing for running off so soon due to anxiousness. He lead lents to the nearest bar saying "Well I'm not sure how your moral jedi ways look upon bounty hunting but its something that I've got some experience with once I had my combat down it was my source of income back on crosucent even if I may not of been hunting the right side I needed to eat didn't I?" He attempted to look for anyone who might be able to help them but he was not exactly the most personable person around he said "Lents see if you can find us a job I'll take care of the price once you have a client then we can fix up that rust bucket you have to use I'll just be listening around see if I can ease drop and find us some work or even better another neo-jedi that might be able to help me."

Lents agreed with the plan, and walked over to a holoscreen with a live update of all the bounties the Hutts were asking for as of late. he spotted one that looked promising. The leader of a group of Empire-loving wannabe Stormtroopers that have been harassing those under the jurisditcion of a Hutt by the name of Hurri. Lents felt like spitting as the taste of bile seeped in to his mouth. What kind of person would want to play Empire? Maybe they wanted to suck up to the Emperor or one of the Moffs or Grand Moffs. But it was still a very low and pathetic thing to do. Lents quickly realized his growing anger and breathed it out of his body before it could grab control of his actions; he filled up the space with righteous resolve for the mission. He posted himself under the pseudonym of Eth Erzin and Skeang as accepting the bounty. He realized that it would be better for Skeang to keep his name as he had already done some bounty work and could demand higher prices than the unheard-of Eth Erzin. He walked back over to Skeang "I found the perfect bounty. It takes us over to the system where Ylesia is. It's been around there where some of Hurri the Hutt's shipments of spice have been commandeered in the name of the Empire, but the Empire has virtually no presence in these regions, so it's just some obsequious Empire wannabes. The job entails following them back to their base and bringing their leader back to Hurri, dead or alive, preferably alive, so that he can administer..." Lents paused, "a just punishment. Sound good to you?"

"dead or alive? sounds like fun to me, as long as its good pay" he started to run but stopped short looking back at Lents saying "wait I've seen this before you go first lead the way" he looked over at Lents thinking if he was in danger he had confidence that nothing they would do could kill him but he knew the nature of criminals and wondered if Lents would remember to keep on his upmost guard he said "Oh by the way Lents this isn't training at an enclave these are real people with guns who have very little tolerance for those who come in asking to take there leader killing is something you may have to get used to"

"I'll try to incapacitate, rather than kill," Lents said. "Even the blackest of hearts can be redeemed. Remember Darth Vader? Anyways. I can handle myself. These people don't have the force," He pointed out. "So we're ready, right? Oh and while we're hunting, I'm going to go under the name Eth Erzin, so call me that from now on." And with that, Lents followed Skeaeng out of the bar and towards their ships, which thankfully hadn't been stolen yet. Climbing in, he punched the coordinates for Ylesia's system and sat back, waiting for his sluggish hyperdrive to kick in.

As they flew off Skeang began to say "Vader ha i saw him once when I was training I know full well that black hearts can be redeemed just look at me but I'm saying if there's a gun to your head and a blade to his throat don't be the one to make the last move got it Lenn... Eth? Lets get moving this should be a nice work out."
