It's been at least a month, since I started hunting Krayt dragons for their pearls. But, I must've had really bad luck, not a single one turned up.
I was starting to despair... then my smuggler contacts told me some rumor he's been hearing... the Corsair priates are hoarding crystals. Very interesting ... I've tried obtain crystals from the Nightsisters before, no luck also. Well, looks like I don't have any other options, might as well give it a try ...
I arrived on Lok, a week ago. To avoid any suspicion, I rode my swoops all the way from Nym's strong hold to the coordinates my contact gave me. But nothing there, just a vast desert. Of course I don't expect it to be this easy. The next 2 days was spent combing the surrounding area, and I finally located it 10 kliks away from the coordinates, in a deep canyon between 2 mountain cliffs. No wonder so hard to find.
Anyways, it's quite a sizable operation I'll have to give them that. And the place is crawling with all sorts of scum of different species, and cut throats, far more worse than Mos Eisley ... and alot of security details ... they ARE guarding some valuable for sure ...
Waited till dusk, the place started to quite down; and around mid night, finally all activities ceased, only some security partols. I have no intention of wreak havoc or make unnecessary kills, so I'll have to go in stealth. Shouldn't be too hard for a Jedi. Meditating and stretching out with my sense, I let the force fill me, flow through me and guide me. I can feel every single living being around me, the thugs snoring in their cots, cheating in sabbac games; and the little night critters coming out of their hiding place looking for food, fighting over food ...
It's a sizable compound, with alot of under ground structures as well as surface structures. It will take me a few days to search through them. Vaulting over the wall, crouching behind crates, moving between shadows ... It was easy.
The last day, I located it, at the very back of the tunnle, a single heavy blast door. It looks promising, very heavily guarded, moving patrols, as well as 4 meaning looking stationary
Gamorrean guards, and a few vicious and hungry looking god-knows-what animals, and monitored by security scanners. Carefully lured out the animals with food laced with sleeping chemical, then timed the scanner interval, sneak behind the Gamorreans and knocked them unconscious with the hilt of my saber. The door is looked, my I stole a key card earlier from a drunk officer. The door slide open scilently, and it's right on the floor in the middle of the chamber - a single magseal container. Well, I don't have the key for that, but, my saber is at least good for cut it open. One swipe of the saber, the container opened, 28 crystals! My lucky day! Quickly put them in my backpack, traced my way out. As I mounted my swoop, I heard the alarm went off. Well, not too bad done, 28 crystals and not a single life lost.
But, how many good ones will come out after tunning? I don't know...
