Every word that the Rodian sputtered, though through panicked stuttering, painted a small part of a picture, and Daelis listened curiously. The lack of response from the Force user was less that satisfactory for her, but with the emergence of the Mirialan, his help was not needed and the plan she quickly had been putting together was abolished. Daelis looked down at the Rodian. “ What? You think I have forgotten you and your cowardice? Not likely! I can do a much better job of making you pay, if you are alive”. She released her grip in his shirt and slapped him again. “ Get up and get your ass moving!”. Once she had made sure that the Rodian rose up and was on his merry way, she fastened her pace behind him. When he walked too slowly, she pushed him hard in the back, or simply rose her hand as a friendly reminder to how she could direct a dog like him. She reached the exit at last and in the hallway she recognized the red eyes, recognizing that Talon was okay and that their unit was still whole. “ Sir, I’m glad you are safe”. While the Jedi used flattery as a technique, Daelis’ patience was tearing down by the minute, and what restraint she used to have was burning up in smoke. And she grabbed the opportunity to take the word. “ Hmmz, so you are the one they call Daron Sacho, I presume? And I hear that you had a really nice date with group leader of the Chainz. Please, do tell. I am eager to hear every last detail. It looks like they miss you - a lot!”. She returned her attention to the Jedi and pointed at him. " And YOU. Why - are you here? This is confidential business of the Empire. Not for your interest nor attendance". Seiga observed and listened as the quartet walked down the narrow hallway. It was always amazing what one could accomplish by not actually doing anything and simply taking in information. Still, he let out a sigh as the Imperial female pointed at him and he could feel the flashes of annoyance and anger coming off of her. Turning to her for a moment, he replies with a hushed voice that's above a whisper, but still below his normal volume."We're in a narrow hallway that echoes with a few dozen armed mercs chasing after us. Do try and keep your voice down dear." The woman waits for the group to get through the doorway, grinning at Seiga's comment, and slams the durasteel door shut. She promptly shoots the control pad, making the door magnetically lock shut. She turns on her heel and starts down the dark hallway, and each step seems to lead the group downwards, rather than straight and flat.
"Sacho? No, I'm not." the woman snorts. "I'm Sacho's delivery girl - and the Rodian is the package."
She rounds a corner, not waiting for the others.
"Name's Ki'ina. I was expecting to just have bug-eyes along for the ride, but I guess you're coming along one way or another." she explains. They would soon find themselves in what appeared to be an old maglift railway, and one car still seemed to be functioning. "You're Imps, right? Sacho said you lot would be snooping once those hits on our shipments started. She's pissed about it too, if that means anything to you Imperials. Loss of credits, loss of supplies, AND a slap on her reputation."
She looks at the Jedi as the Rodian hurries onto the maglift car.
"Saw you from a window - you get caught up in this during a stroll, or are you gonna arrest us?" she asks, having seen his lightsaber, and knowing what Seiga is. Listening again to the trio group speak, Seiga picks up more information in the last few seconds than he had been able to during the entire tail. In such a short time, he was able to confirm the presence of Imperials operating out in the open on Coruscant; shipments related to one Daron Sacho that supposed were linked to Imperials; and the destruction of those shipments and the fallout. Curious, he nods as he takes in every word, always amazed at what can be gleamed with enough patience. With a smirk from underneath his hood, Seiga humorously replies to Ki'ina's query"Me? I took a wrong left turn on the way to the market. Imagine my surprise when I run into a shootout between an armed group and Imperials. Especially since this isn't an Imperial world.....anymore." He lets the last word linger in the air as he reaches out to sense the reactions of the group.
