Re: And the pooch was screwed
Jett grinned without yet turning. The only thing that had popped into her head in the interim was getting in touch with someone who had once been a client of Preigo's Traveling World of Wonder — though long before she'd joined the troup as their trick-shot sharpshooter. Since then, she'd heard he had lost it all... almost, and would welcome the chance to rearm and rebuild.
But if the old Weequay was already a lout and a backstabber when he had an entire band of pirates at his command, he surely would be no better now that he was a deposed pirate-lord. So she was glad that Jubjub and Brannexx had come up with new options.
She nodded at Ewok and astromech in turn, "I know a bunch of terrorists like the Rebels will prolly accept a dropship of contraband from anybody. BUT that'll mean the Empire will think we're throwing our lot in with the 'revolution'— and that's risky!"
Then she turned to Brannexx, "Maybe just as risky as you hailing your old frenemy, Bran. Though I've never met anyone that didn't think you were a problem," she added smiling.
"Handing things over to the Rebs might be cleaner, but it might bring exactly the kind of Imperial entanglements we're looking to detangle ourselves from. But just like everyone on the Outer Rim, Brannexx's buddy has it in for him, so we might not even get to touch down before bolts start flying. That said, we can handle ourselves."
Jett put her hands on her hips, "So! Let's hear more about each and put it to a vote. And proximity might be the deal breaker. We can't go galavanting halfway cross the galaxy with hot cargo, yeah?"
OOC: I only just realized we were still within the OT movie timeframe and not post-RotJ, since we still owe Jabba. So I edited out my reference to the New Republic. Hope you all are cool with the soft retcon above!
