Once more tensions heat up between the Hutt Cartel and the Hutt Syndicate and spill out over into Hutt Night making the blistering Tatooine night even hotter. On the Hutt thrones representing the Hutt Cartel were the infamous Bareesh brothers.. Rolga and Tompunka, also in attendance was the Hutt of many words.. senior Cartel member Anda Anjiliac. Stubz as always was on hand and ready with his blaster. The event was hosted by Anda Anjiliac and her majordomo Emily. But even before the night could begin the Hutt Syndicate fired the first shot placing a bounty on the head of one of their own that was now seen standing on the stage acting as security for the Hutt Cartel.
Emily: “Hello everyone! We will begin shortly as soon as security has cleared the Building the Mighty Hutts will take audience, Tonight there will be no acting Majordomo, Lady Anda herself will be conducting the event!”
Anda Anjiliac: “It pleases the cartel to see the turn out this evening, we would like to extend our gratitude to our friends in the empire who have assisted us with our security this evening, as well as our friends with the 13th legion. …as of this time last week, a bounty was taken out against any, and all, personnel, property or holdings of the so called “hutt syndicate” with the bounty hunters guild… the rewards for the destruction of, or apprehension of these vile criminals are quite substantial and I would like to make the bounty open to all comers, not only members of the guild. Further it pleases the cartel that certain members of the Syndicate have spoken to us privately, recognized our generosity and nature and have seen fit to join our various kajidic, leaving the syndicate for better work. the most honored Hutt Cartel Council, despite a lack of assistance from certain parties who shall remain nameless, have stood strong in the face of this criminal menace, we encourage any civilized people to rally behind our example if they should see fit. as a last matter, I would like it made known that the Cartel Council, concerned with the advent of war in the galaxy have made overtures to the federation regarding the conflict and requested an ambassador for the people of hutt space to the federation, these requests have been unanswered as of yet.and now we will open the floor to anyone who wishes to speak.”
Federation Rep Jesma Pearl: “I would like to speak to the cartels, if I may.” she says as she steps up to the speakers dais… “Thank you your greatness. I must make this brief, because I have a ceremony to attend, but I would like to offer my services in seeing that hutt concerns are heard and known throughout the Federation. I recognize that our working with the hutts in in the Federation’s best interest and will be glad to take your concerns to the Federation at our weekly meetings. However, I really must go at this time. I’ll be in contact.”
Anda Anjiliac: “The representative from the federation has not been excused. The Cartel desires a method of communication with the federation but we doubt the diplomatic wisdom of an espionage agent serving in that capacity, if the Lady Jesma wishes to send our message to the federation though, that would be acceptable.”
I think much to anyone’s surprise federation rep Jesma Pearl answered back in Huttese.. a language most humans find difficult to speak not having the correct Hutt biology to make the proper sounds.. like a fat encrusted throat to gargle the vowels or a mouth that stretches half way around their head to properly pronounce and emote the language.. but Jesma seemed to be doing pretty good as she denied being their to spy.
Federation Rep Jesma Pearl in Huttese: kee hajin diki? ji masa dwana ne wassa nai un wumpa un ji palko kee nei’cha ko ta chu mwa dobo pim pim. ji boga boga upee la. uska bayjee bo be gopah palko so be ko ree boga an tonka hajuki akklai nei’cha bu paguta. wassa sa drikunna upee mulira jimuga bu nami mukai. jimpa ko drikhi un wan nami paa uran diki makriss mukai an anku ha makriss, dobo dolpee ne konchi. bala yama kee be hajin magok mulira upee kox sa gulpa ta uska un diki an chissa ne paguta be akklai makriss. hok chuba uni uran, ji kah uska an mwa pim goora kox un la mukai? jimuga.”
Anda Anjiliac made a sour face as she heard teh reason that Jesma had to leave was a Knighting ceremony for her enclave and replied… “jiji yama mukai naga chuba wampo un kon mukai dobra nami chu wan nowan boga che andoba ari, pay, kuna boska.” in what almost seemed like sarcasm but it is hard to tell intonation through a translator. “…ha gee uska sa akklai palko nowan nowan, jimpa kee.” she continued.
Federation Rep Jesma Pearl bowed “I will return as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.”
Anda Anjiliac then addressed one of the security guurds: “master Alex would you please see our guest to the podium to make her business? We are long lived but we are not immortal and out patience with this particular business is wearing thin.”
The lady in question however did not need to be brought up as it was evident that she was the one being addressed she made her own way to the speakers dais and began…
Pink: greetings mighty and powerful hutts, my name is Pink and I own several locations of pinks place. However I owe a large debt to the Syndicate and am currently unable to payoff this debt of a mere 300,000 credits. I say mere as this is a small amount for a loan I’m requesting this night so I can clear this debt up if you would be so kind as to lend me these funds. I would be willing to pay a 20% fee over a six month period and the full principal.
The Hutts talked it over…
Anda Anjiliac: “she admits to being unable to pay a loan, and yet asks us to pay it for her, why should the cartel take this offer, we appear to have little to gain, and much to lose”
rolga Bareesh: “20%? compounded I assume?”
Pink: “well 20% on the 300,000 in six months time if I dont pay off the full amount with intrest then how about 50% on the 300k for another three months, thats more then crooked deal for you
Tompunka Bareesh: “to that gang of upstarts? We would lend money to give to that?”
Pink: “otherwise I wont be able to get out from the debt I owe the syndicate as you hate them all this would be a good way of removing some of there income.”
Anda Anjiliac: “I agree with lord Tompunka, there is no benefit in this for the cartel and an immediate benefit for this so called syndicate, as a senior member of the cartel i vote no, what say you Lord Rolga?”
Rolga Bareesh: “your math is amusing, it’s also not worth our time, perhaps stock in your business, if it’s found to be worthy.”
Anda Anjiliac: “I fail to see how giving them 300,000 credits would be removing their source of income.”
Rolga Bareesh: “all laughing aside, your business proposal is never going to pass the Cartel’s standards of business, however your business could be shored up in another way… I could propose something that might save your businesses…”
Anda Anjiliac: “if her property is under control of the syndicate, the bounty extends to her holdings and facilities, they will be destroyed, and a bounty paid to the one who does so, Lord Rolga may have an idea for the speaker, but if not, she is excused and will leave the premises.”
Pink: “No, my property is not controlled by the syndicate I just owe them for a loan is all reason IM here speaking to you great hutts.”
Anda Anjiliac: “then you have nothing to worry about Im sure your property will be spared the bounty, you may go.”
With that last bit of business Hutt Night was called to a close by Anda Anjiliac and the crowd slowly dispersed out into the desert night.
