Nuzole could still hear Captain Foboma and Sgt. Neves shouting orders as he sat at a lonely bar, a bottle of Elba booze in his hand,
"I am such a failure." He told himself more than once, he was certain that no other recruit in the history of Alpha had fallen of the rooftop during basic training, breaking his left leg, and not getting a new title.
His leg didn't really hurt him anymore, but it was as stiff as hell, Neves had instructed two civilians to escort recruit Nuzole to the nearest medical droid, which they did happily. The droid put him in the bacta tank for about two hours and told him all the protocols, what to do and what not to do, one of which was not to drink alcohol, but Nuzole really wasn't listening, he was embarrassed about the whole thing, and just wanted to wash it down with a few libations from the local bar. That's where he is now, thoroughly enjoying the twi'lik pole dancers in the little run down shack this fort calls a bar. Two newcomers walked in the establishment, a thin, gaunt, twi'lik and a heavy set nemodian who's faces seemed familiar. The Nemodian walked up to the bartender
"Rakaka eneno keara no mada" he said in nemodian and held up a picture that Nuzole couldn't see
The bartender said back "No I haven't seen that Zabrak lately" he said with a glancing look towards Nuzole,
"But I will inform you if I do, now what do you want to drink? Otherwise get out of my bar."
The nemodian hesitated and fingered his pistol strapped to his side, but finally said "Mu Grubba nooka toko"
And the bartender poured a green tinted drink that smoked, "will that be all?"
"Yes" said the gaunt twi'lik in the basic language and turned on his heels and chose the table on the opposite side of the room, Nuzole had a feeling he new where these guys where from, and if he was right, that would be bad. His suspicion was that these where taka and udoani from the black sun gang on coruscant, who he had been with before joining alpha company, these two thugs were well known in the Black Sun as being fierce in battle, and the Black Sun had been out to kill Nuzole for deserting them. If these two recognized him, his chances of survival were slim, a few moments later his suspicions where confirmed, the nemodian's loud voice filled the small room, "Mi taka hrun Nuba doons"
The small twi'lik said quietly back "yes I know, udoani, the deserter we have been tracking for years is on this planet, we are going to get such the reward." He said and smiled wickedly.
Nuzole gulped, he did not want to get in a fight, especially now, he had left his auto cannon at the medical droid'a facility, all he had was a small ballmorran repeating pistol, and he had little to no skill using pistols.
He tried to cover his face as best he could, he tried to wait until they left, but the nemodian, udoani, was content with a serving girl on his knee, it seemed like hours to Nuzole, although it had only been about 45 minutes, until finally taka said something the Nuzole, " hey hornhead, get over here, we have something to discuss." Nuzole politely refused,
Taka said " that wasn't a question,"
"I'm fine over here," Nuzole said nervously, one hand on his blaster pistol
"Nerub taka, Nerub Nuzole!" Udoani said to Taka loudly
"Yes I know it's him." He said licking his lips " boy you ought to know before we kill you, the black sun has put a mighty price on your head and your going to make us rich."
Nuzole hesitated and said "not today" while flipping the table and using it as a shield, in all his drunk ness he didn't know how he pulled it off, but there are more important things on his mind right now, Udoani and Taka took there positions and started firing at Nuzole, and they left burn marks in the wall and the table, Nuzole popped up his head and shot a few rounds at Udoani, two missed, one hit its mark and made a black hole in his knee, the nemodian fell to the ground cradling his knee, Nuzole was about to finish admiring his work when a bullet wizzed past his ear and exploded behind him and another lodged itself in Nuzole's rib, Nuzole went sprawling back and thanked God that he was drunk, his rib hurt but not that bad. Nuzole found himself back in the firing position as he finished his work with Udoani, shooting him right in the heart, killing the fat nemodian, at that Taka just got better at shooting, hitting Nuzole twice more, and Nuzole hitting him none, Taka jumped out of his cover and over the table where Nuzole was, he shot Nuzole in the hand, Nuzole cried out in pain and dropped his gun. Taka stood over him, smirking, his gun leveled with Nuzole's face.
"Any last words, deserter?" He said confidently
Nuzole just spit at his feet.
Just at that moment Captain Fobama, Neves, Major Oca, and the rest barged in ready to celebrate Thier success, Captain Foboma realized what was going on first and shot Taka between the eyes and said "no one messes with my soldiers, except me." And smirked
He looked over to Nuzole,"you might want to go back to the medical droid, and don't leave your auto cannon there this time."
Nuzole nodded and for the rest of the the night Karhi and Kaegan talked about how they where going to make love in the back while Neves and Ranque told the fresh soldiers stories about Major Torik and the old ways of alpha.
