SWTOR: A Smuggler, Not A Patriot: Prologue:
Green Skinned Soldier Babe
Inspired by the new Bioware MMO set in the Star Wars universe. I own none of the characters, obviously.
The Officer's Club had obviously been a high end lounge before the war. Now commandeered by the Republic Military, Sulmad was only very minorly more comfortable than he would have been in a bar filled with the rich and powerful of Ord Mantel. None of that showed on his face and he certainly wasn't fool enough to even look at his blaster, so surrounded by scary-as-fuck troopers.
The scariest of whom waved him into a booth and took a seat behind him. The Mirialan's green skin clashed horribly with the purple and red dΓ©cor and her skinny frame looked like it was moments from folding in on itself. Sulmad knew how much that impression was bullshit. She'd ambushed him, taken his weapon like it was nothing and withstood his counterattack with no difficulty, or bruises, unlike himself. Indeed, the small (or not so small) part of him that wasn't busy calculating survival odds (and sex odds, always sex odds) was wondering which of his female acquaintances on this rock would be willing to rub his bruises...
"All right, captain, I'm suitably impressed by your strength, your influence and I'm embarrassed enough to be malleable. Can we get down to business now?" Sulmad asked, pressing back against the feeling of powerlessness with his usual sarcasm.
A green finger pressed a button and a transparent privacy screen snapped up. Transparent on their side. To the onlookers it was impossible to see, or hear through and for both groups it was impossible to transmit through. "I do apologize if I've embarrassed you with my observation of your little...tryst with the tech. It was certainly not my intention."
"It certainly was. But in that you failed. I'm embarrassed that you snuck up on me and took me down so easily, not that you were voyeuristically spying on me and Celestra fucking." Sulmad explained.
