The one with Meredith



The wooden door of the Dusty Throat tavern swung open, and along with a cloud of the ever present dust a hooded and cloaked figure entered from the glaring heat into the dim bar room. Of the present patrons, only a Joolar paid brief attention to the new comer. He noticed the modern looking blaster rifle the cloaked being carried.

The Tavern was one of many scattered all around the central landing field of the Glaring Desert of Profit.

As the figure approached the bar, the seams of the cloak parted and revealed the body shape of a human female. She was wearing some kind of body armor and her face was completely covered by a mask like helmet

As she tossed two fullweights on the counter, the heavy din of the Iridium coins did make a few patrons look up from the drinks they were nursing.

The barkeep, a Yellow Head eyed the coins and the woman.”What are you buying?”

“Information.” Her voice was electronically altered.

“I sell drinks.”

“I am looking for Vas the Spiker. I was told he comes here. Two more if I like your answer.”

The bar keeper's eyes shifted to a Lapdir Oghr sitting with two others at a table.”As I told you stranger. I sell drinks. My guests usually don't give their names when they order drinks. Besides you smell like trouble and four bits are not enough to rat out a regular.”

The Lapdir's hand moved slowly to the butt of his Kermac Line Blaster.”

The masked woman leveled her weapon in line with the Oghr.”No four bits are to much, you just told me what I wanted to know for free. I'd take that Iridium if I were you and buy me some brain.”

“Listen,Stranger this establishment is under the Dai House protection and I want you to leave now.”

The woman paid no attention to the barkeep.”Vas, you have been identifed s one of the seven individuals that aducted Janice and Garrik Peters on Netlor. I am here to make sure you will not abduct anyone anymore.”

The woman fired and her weapon beam disintegrated the upper torso and head of the Oghr. The backrest of his chair and left a sizeable hole in the wooden wall.

The two Iridium coins she had tossed exploded with a brilliant flash and howling noise.
