Kriegar was intelligent, there was no doubt about it. He had successfully managed to de-scramble the new imperial code (with the assistance of his HUD, a scomp link, code cylinder, and a computer terminal) and submit a message stating that a meeting of top priority was to be scheduled with Lord Vader and his wife. What this meeting was about, however, would be a surprise for them both.
All the message stated was that there was a meeting of high importance; no name, contact information, or even the topic.
Kriegar had no intention on causing harm to the pair; that was more idiotic than foolish, and to be honest it wasn't worth his time. No, Kriegar was here to collect his pay and maybe even prove a point along the way... hell, maybe he'll be hired for another job. Who knows. All Kriegar knew was that he was prepared for the unexpected; there was no trusting a darjetii. All in all though, he wanted is money.
The Mandalorian warrior entered the building, making it clear by the way he held himself that he meant business and that he wasn't to be messed with. He was armed as usual, most of his toys hidden away in his belt and pockets, but his vibroblade was visibly attached to his chest and his left hand held a slugthrower that resembled a double barrelled shotgun. A limp bag was held in his right hand, large enough that half of it dragged on the floor; there was definitely something heavy in it.
Security clearly wouldn't react well, that was for sure, but it made no difference to the weapon smith. Upon arrival, he could almost feel the stares by the troopers on guard as they reached for their weapons. Kriegar didn't blame them, after all, this was the centre of operations... in a sense. He stood there, unmoved, as he activated his external speakers in his 'mechanical' tinny sounding cover voice.
"I am here for the meeting with Lord Vader and company. Please notify him that he has company."

Rex was one of the clones that was on guard duty that day. He stood at one of the walls keeping guard. When the mandalorian walked in he watched him closely. He thought to himself as the mandalorian got close.
"mando. Kaori might get a long with them nicely."
When he got up to him and another storm trooper he listened as the mando mentioned the meeting.
"I'll notify them right away."
He took out his comlink and talked into it
"Lord Vader, the mandalorian you requested has arrived."

Stormtroopers marched in formation throughout the Imperial Palace. Like everyday, there was much security, some times the rebels would make small attacks, so the empire improved each time with security. there was always troopers on patrols making sure everything was going clear. Troopers watched a ship approuce and cleared it for landing, but sent troopers out to watch the ship and the cargo inside.
Vader was sitting in his room, doing some work at the table. They had just returned from mandalore in the fight against a rogue group of stormtroopers attacking under the orders by Palptine. He was going through recent mission logs to see what is going on throughout the galaxy. One of these days him and Kaori was going to over take the emperor and rule the galaxy together. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed getting tired. He still had a lot more work to do, there was many battles to plan and planets to claim in the name of the empire. Vader's com-link went off and he looked over grabbing it and pressed the button.
"Great, I am on my way."
He stood to his feet and grabbed his lightsaber on the bed and put it on his belt and grabbed his dark robe putting it onto him and nudged on Kaori arm. When they return to the palace, she passed out, she did not have much sleep for the past few days and he told her to sleep, but know he needed her with him in this so called important meeting he was told about by his troopers.
"Wake up Kaori, come with me, we have a meeting." He said softly and walked out of the room, heading down the hallway. He wanted to know why they told him this meeting was so important, he has been through many important meetings and in the end, the only thing he enjoys is being on the battlefield, none of this political crap.

Kriegar grinned behind the safety of his helmet. The tinny, mechanical voice still concealed his, mostly for protection but it also added an incredible effect; one of which he enjoyed. A dark chuckle escaped his lips. Did they think he was invited here, or that he was sent for instead of the other way around? Typical. It seemed to be going so smoothly... just as planned.... naturally.
"Heh. Thank you, Captain." His HUD had picked up a few resemblances of the trooper's armour through the Holonet, and while he was marked as a captain, Kriegar believed he had heard the name of this trooper at some point in time. He rubbed the bottom of his visor, much like one would rub their chin in thought. "Also, Captain, I appreciate your quick and effective time management. I have not had to wait long to be cleared for landing, and shown inside."
He waited alongside security patiently; it was common for guests to arrive after the expected 'officials' are already there. However, Kriegar always thought that it was the student who waited for the master. I guess politics work under different beliefs... at least not warrior ones.
He was escorted to the room in which Kriegar assumed the darjetii were already present. For a moment he was curious if the security, and Captain Rex, would be present... but either or it didn't matter; Kriegar simply didn't care. Perhaps it would be beneficial if they were.
The door hissed open and Kriegar stepped inside.
"Well, well, well..." He chuckled, approaching the duo but maintaining a respectful distance. He gave a slight nod of his head in greeting, then slung his rifle up and across his shoulders.
"It's not everyday one gets an audience with the Lord and Lady darjetii. How kind of you to spare some of your time."

Kaori got up and followed him
"i was having a good dream....."
She sighed following him into the meeting room and sat down beside him. As she saw the mando walk in she raised an eyebrow.
"A mandalorian? and don't speak that language here please. I may speak it but not everyone can. Now why exactly is it you are here mando?"
she crossed her eyes keeping an eye on him. She watched as Rex walked in with another trooper and stood beside the door guarding it

Vader walked down the hallway and walked into the meeting room. He took a seat and looked over to kaori who sat down beside him. It was rare to see them apart nowadays, they worked well together, now they worked better then they ever have. they were madly in love, they had there son and he was safe. they got rid of the jedi scum who threaten to ruin their family and things had to happen to insure that did not happen. Vader looked through some paper work on the table infront of him and there was nothing about the meeting, there wal always a plan of the meetings, but not today. He could hear the sound of footsteps going down the hall coming closer. He looked over to kaori and smiled and leaned in and kissed her quickly and leaned back looking ahead. As a mandalorian walked in, Vader stood to his feet. He already had Boba Fett working for him and now, another mandalorian showed up.
"and why is the reason you are here? I seem to have no information about this meeting." He glared over to the mandalorian. The two stormtroopers in the room watched the mandalorian closely.

Kriegar burst out laughing; he couldn't have helped it if he tried.
"Ahem. Of course there is no information in regards to the meeting, My Lord... That is because I set it up. I hacked the imperial code and submitted my own message so that I could get the opportunity to see my 'employers' face to face." He spoke so smoothly and calmly, as if the task wasn't really as difficult as it was; truth be told it took a great deal of luck and time. His attention turned from Vader to Kaori, his head tilting to one side curiously as a smirk spread across his face.
"I am sorry if I have offended you, m'Lady. It is a rare occurrence to come across someone who isn't Mandalorian that speaks my language. I will stick to formalities then, since you do not wish to be called what you are." He nodded curtly.
He decided to stay where he was; approaching would case even more discomfort for the pair before him, and he didn't want to risk having a trooper shoot him... heaven forbid they scratch the paint!
"Trust me when I say that I have not come here with the intention on causing anyone harm." The rifle slid off his shoulder and he placed the barrel on the ground, leaning on it for a relaxed sort of posture. He didn't want this to end in a screaming match, that much was for sure.
"It just so happened that a little while ago I was approached by a young fellow wanting to make himself a reputation..." Yes, in some systems there was a bounty on his head, but only fools took it; evidently this individual was a fool.
"Despite my attempts to convince him otherwise, he still insisted that I was to die. First matter of business---" His fist tightened around the handle of the bag he was carrying.
He straightened up, his balance equally spread over both feet. His body was unmoving as he lifted the bag a few feet higher, extended it out and dropped it to the floor; it landed with a dull thud. That hand, now free, reached into his pocket and pulled out a lightsaber.
"---I've come to collect my bounty."

Kaori narrowed her eyes looking at the mando. She had a feeling she doesn't like this Mando
"Who the hell said I wasn't mandalorian? I'm from the clan Tavboath."
She glared at him. and how dare he get into their computers. She crossed her arms and looked at her husband waiting for him to react.

Vader glared toward the Mandalorian as he sat there. His eyes did not leave him, the stormtroopers stayed close, there blasters ready for battle in any second. Vader did grow angry when he was told my this mandalorian what they did. Nobody cracks into Imperial control. He rolled his fist into a ball and tried to remain calm, he needed to know what was going on, why this mandalorian did this. He lowered one of his hands down to his belt as he sat there, keeping it close to his lightsaber. He knew that the mandalorians was alleys to Vader cause of Kaori, so if he did anything he would hear about it later from Kaori. So he remained calm, let this guy finish to what he was trying to make a point of. He watched as he picked up a bag and dropped t on the floor. He raised a eyebrow and looked down to the bag, but what was it inside the bag? He rubbed his chin with a finger thinking and then, the mandalorian took out a lightsaber and asked to collect a bounty.
"You killed a jedi?" He asked and stood to his feet and walked over. "but who was it?"

Kriegar was a bit taken aback as the Lady darjettii snapped back at him. "Appologies, for I did not see you wearing any beskar'gam which is a striking feature to my---our cuture." There was an edge of pity on his voice; it was part of the mandalorian culture to wear the armour, just as it was to speak the language and answer the call to war for the Manda'lor. He did not see a mandalorian before him, he saw a dar'manda; a person of mandalorian decent that has lost their heritage. Why, or how, she had managed to have that happen... Kriegar didn't know, nor did he want to know. He wasn't here to lecture this woman about the life she could have had; if she wanted to call herself a Mandalorian, so be it... but she might not be treated as one. It truly was sad.
Then again, those were 'ancient' times. The duchess has destroyed what sense of belonging and culture they had and thus justifying the Death Watch's actions; they went from 'over throw the Manda'lor' to 'justified heroes'. The thought brought a foul taste to his mouth, and he sighed heavily. Now wasn't the time to get caught up in his thoughts.
Vader's reaction made him a bit uneasy; he didn't want to blow a fuse but he also wanted to show he meant business. He could feel the tension in the air, even as the darjjetti seemed to compose himself. He seemed thoughtful for a moment, which Kriegar decided to take as a good thing.
He smiled behind his helmet, and moved a few steps to the side so Vader cold inspect the contents of the body bag for himself. He had to seal the body in a fairly cool temperature, so that it would remain intact for the flight... and for the duration it took Kriegar to hack the imperial code. Thus, it was a bit 'chilly' to the touch.
"ID shows him as 'Darrus Jeht'. Last known appearance was the Cularin System before he apparently disappeared in a series of vortexes dragging a CIS ship.... Did you know him?" He motioned to the bag with a tilt of his head. "Last time I retrieved a bounty from the empire they required proof. I hope this is satisfactory."

She continued to stand there glaring at him.
"And for your into i can read your mind and see that you are wondering why i dont wear mandalorian armor. The armor i wear on my legs is made of the same material as your armor. Also i dont speak the language because my husband doesnt speak it but i do speak it to my family. I dont need your pity for not showing my heritage. Im proud to mandalorian and ill protect my home planet and keep what death watch has done to it."
She was really not liking this bounty hunter at all. She didnt need or want anyone's pit. She didnt care if he killed a jedi she wanted them out fast.

He stood up from the table and walked over to the body and looked down at it. He remembered seeing this jedi around during the clone wars, he never talked to him, he just knew the face. He was nobody important, but he was still a jedi.He looked at the lightsaber handle and took it and tossed it back over to Kaori and looked back to the bounty hunter.
"Yes, we want proof of a kill and you got it. For a dead Jedi thats 25 hundred credits."
Vader said and walked over to a box and opened it, inside was where some credits was kept for situations just like this. He took out what he needed and closed it turning around and held out his hand over to the bouty hunter and handed to them.
"There is another job you may be interested in doing." He said and looked back over to Kaori thinking. He knew of a jedi on Tatooine, but if he could get a bounty hunter to do it, then he would have some free time with Kaori, they could do anything they wanted. He grinned and looked back over to the bounty hunter

Kriegar turned to fully face the lady darjjetti when she mentioned that she could read his mind. He instantly blanked his thoughts (which he had been able to do through meditation) and simply thought of nothing; not his recent and past jobs, employers, or even the types of weapons he had made and who they went too. his mind was a blank, minus the fact he was displeased. He was visibly tenser than he was, evidently uncomfortable of the whole idea.
"Duly noted, my Lady." He said stiffly, before relaxing slightly. "I am completely at fault and simply request we put this little disagreement behind us. Just a simple case of miscommunication, that's all!" He smiled. "Most curious... The ability to do that amazes me as much as it puzzles me, m'Lady. That must be quite the useful tool."
When she mentioned the death watch, his mind filled back to the past. He was working under the Manda'lor in the army at the time. He had seen the aftermath of the Battle of Galidraan. He had seen what the Death Watch had started... and finished. Then the Clone Wars destroyed all they had for a culture with their 'Neutral' alliance under the Duchess. Then the Death Watch return as glorified heroes. Disgusting. The whole thing was just one giant mess. Kriegar was loyal to both Mandalore and the Manda'lor, who ever the people saw was most fit for the job, but that didn't mean he had to be entirely happy about it.
He relaxed, and hesitantly passed Vader the lightsaber. He took the credits and started shuffling through them; he didn't want to be cut short. It was a regular proceedure for most Bounty hunters, and should be expected; none the less, Kriegar didn't want to come off as rude. "I figured as much. I've done 'political' jobs before and they all require similar things...."
When Vader made mention of a job that may suit his interest, his head titled to one side slightly in curiosity; the darjjetti had his attention.
"I'm listening."

She nodded still watching him. She caught the saber when anakin threw it and put away. She listened as Vader mentioned the job. She was wondering what job it was.

Vader nodded and turned around making his way back over next to Kaori. He sat down and placed his hands on the table raising his head, looking to the bounty hunter. He has been putting this mission off for a while now and as the time went by, the Jedi would have got stronger with a group of soldiers. He should have taken care of this Jedi months back, but things came up and it was just being held off more and more.
“This Jedi is powerful, strong, and cunning. He can blend in with the environment. His name is Valo Paesante. “
Vader said turning on a small data pad and pulled up all the information about this Jedi. He slid it across the table over to the bounty hunter. He moved his robotic gloved hand under the table and grabbed Kaoris hand holding it. He moved his thumb about on her hand. If this Bounty Hunter took this job, then Vader would have time, him and Kaori would have time to be with their son. One of the stormtroopers walked up to the table looking over to Vader.
“Lord Vader, recent reports state that Valo Paesante has indeed have a small militia under his command. “
Vader nodded and looked over to Kaori thinking of something and turned back to the bounty hunter and then the stormtroopers in the room. He was sure that the bounty hunter had nobody to help him, and for this mission he would.
“Bounty Hunter, I have a few troops that will come with you. You will have command over them for this mission, but when you’re done, you report back here. “
