Andros began life as a simple pirate. As a young man he never was thought to amount to much but the feline alien rose up through the ranks thanks to his incredible combat prowess and tactical skill. Soon he reached the rank of first mate and later captain when his commander perished on a raid gone bad.

He ended up growing in power. Ever ambitious that one ship turned to two. In a short time he had doubled that to four. Piracy wasn't without it's risks and Andros branched out making a lucrative living as a smuggler and slaver as well.

Captured a few times incarceration never managed to keep Andros contained for long. With his wealth he was always able to skirt the justice that others sought. Bribing court officials, juries and tampering with witnesses allowed him to walk each time.

There seemed to be no justice for him. His operations only grew in scope though now Andros removed himself from operations holed up on a backwater seedy planet well outside the city there dwelling in his own fortified compound.

Needless to say the ADD had operations going to hit and arrest numerous lieutenants and captains in an effort to bring down Andros. Though there was the problem of Andros himself eluding justice once again unless he was eliminated.

One of the higher ups signed off on the black op of killing Andros instead in an effort to end his operations while another agent had been assigned to hack into his accounts and put a freeze on them least his underlings gain access to his funds only to continue the corrupt process of eluding justice.

The planet, Savros, had been a world of criminals. From her briefing on the place it had numerous luxury goods, was remote from most systems and served as a base of operations for pirates and mercenaries alike.

Clearly it was a place where lay enforcement and bounty hunters were not welcome. Surprisingly it had a low crime rate from what anyone could tell. Assault and the occasional murder in a bar fight was common enough but no one tried to steal for anyone or break in to their residence so there was some honor among thieves …

Akiko Reiya calmly watched things from her perch in one of the big cities of the planet of Savros, she was staying to the shadows...moving silently through the city avoiding drawing attention with her camouflage of her suit. The silent cold assassin was following a few of Andros flunkies bringing supplies to his stronghold as the beautiful buxom woman moved with speed and purpose shadowing the men and even slipping into the back of their transport...hiding thanks to her camouflage.

Allowing her time to wait...once inside, once she found Andros eliminating him would be simple, then she could escape or report her success for extraction easily enough. The former Shokushu student didn't feel anything but disgust at what the vile slaver had done and escaping justice so many times.

This time she would enact it for all the victims he'd ruined with his work.

The transport was loaded up with various goods. While at the warehouse there had been several of Andro's men, most being Legars, feline aliens known for their strength, reflexes and combative prowess. The older ones had huge manes though none of these did being fairly young and in the prime of their lives. Oddly the species grew stronger in time though their reflexes diminished.

When reaching their destination there were only two that would unload the truck but by then she was gone slipping out of the back of the truck. The compound was large, a walled manor that looked very secure given the amount of security she witnessed.

There were Legars for the most part. Many were on the walls or in towers but they were looking outward rather than in there were a few other species too and a few buildings. The grounds were well kept too. There was a large fountain, a garden and of course there were slaves tending to the upkeep of the grounds.

The slaves she saw appeared to be in good health and were alien males from some conquered home world that she could not quite recall. They were rather weak and docile for the most part. In the end easy to control and less of a benefit as far as causing a riot or revolt. Not that she needed it but had they spotted her they were not likely to hinder her, rather ignore her unless she interacted with them.

They were the sort of aliens that just accept whatever was happening around them and let things play out rather than resist. All in all it was no wonder that they were enslaved.

Had she wanted to waste time she could have discovered what some of the smaller buildings were but it was obvious where her target would be. The manor dwarfed the other buildings so it was easy to guess that the other buildings had to be barracks, storage, slave quarters and the like.

The manor itself had one Legar out front with a blaster rifle. He was alert enough for someone that had guard duty. It may have been easier to check out the rest of the manor for an alternate way inside. There were some hedges and other flora that would allow her to creep closer but the last twenty yards or so to the building would be devoid of any cover.

She had the option of watching the guard too for any patterns that she could exploit or even take him but that could risk detection at this early stage.

Akiko silently moved through the courtyard, stealthily as she hides in some foliage turning off her camouflage to let it recharge while she stayed hidden. She kept out of sight and avoided being seen by anyone. Nodding her head at that part she slipped around heading towards one of the other buildings...once she was out of cover she activated her camouflage again vanishing invisibly again as she slipped into the building.

She kept to the shadows and kept her back to walls avoiding any potential detection. Her eyes glancing around this building seeing she was inside the slave quarters it seems. Her eyes roaming around for any links into the main manor while she kept herself hidden...only turning off her cloaking once she was sure she was alone and briefly secure to avoid detection.

The building was quiet. She was in the main room which had been lined with bunk beds. There were no foot lockers so she dismissed this being the barracks. There was a closet that had numerous outfits mostly overalls or jumpsuits all the same size.

The clothing had been made of a fabric that could stretch and most of the aliens were about the same size any way. There was little else here, a bathroom and a recreational room made up the rest of the building.

In the rec room which was almost as large as the main room were simple games. There was a table in one of the corners for board or card games, a dart board with magnetic darts and a shelf that held all sorts of games.

There was a box here that contained balls about the size of her palm and a few other pieces of entertainment that she did not expect to find. Nothing that could be fashioned as a weapon obviously.

While looking around she could hear the approach of alien slaves requiring her to use her cloak. A small group of them passed close by and watching them out a window she saw that a small group of them were approaching the manor.

The guard at the manor looked in their direction only briefly. It appeared that the aliens were no strangers to approaching the manor though the group went around back. Was there a service entrance there or were they doing something in the back yard?

At a distance it was unlikely the guard made out individual features. But paid them no real attention. Watching none of them returned in short order but that told her little if they were hard at work at some sort of task or now in the manor itself.

Akiko smirked and took advantage of this change. She slipped out of the building and headed towards the main building her cloak powering up as she followed the group of slaves. Keeping herself low and quiet as she followed the slaves to the back of the manor. While her eyes looked over the manor for any windows she could use to enter herself.

If not she followed to the backyard of the manor and stayed hidden to scope out this new area for any possible entry points into the manor from here and get to her target.

The manor was two stories with large windows on the upper floor and smaller normal sized ones of the first floor. The guard out front would have barely noticed if there were four slaves or five, the precise numbers didn't really matter and it seemed that he was keeping an eye out for any direct threats.

Chances were that those on the walls or in the towers would alert him of any trouble as it were.

The windows were unlocked. Andros was not overly worried about someone infiltrating the place but more prepared in dealing with large groups that attempted to oppose him. Inside she would be aware of other sentries that patrolled the place along with some of those unusual alien slaves. It seemed as if there was a service entrance for them after all.

There were other slaves here. These were human, the sort that were acquired for more domesticate or sexual roles. There was no telling where their loyalties would be seeing how many slaves were brainwashed to be obedient.

So there were two groups of slaves to work against here. One that would ignore here while the other she couldn't be certain about.

After some sulking around she discovered her target was on the second floor. There was a door there that was guarded by another one of these Legars and she could hear someone beyond, growling and moaning as it was clear what Andros was up to.

Akiko slipped into the building from one of the windows on the first floor. Moving with speed while using her cloaking well. She noticed two groups of servants, alien and human. Her eyes narrowed as she avoided the attention. She swiftly headed up the first flight of stairs she could find. Sneaking around the place let her map it out in her mind as well before she peeked round a corner and saw her target or at least a door to his chambers no doubt...with a guard keeping watch. Akiko's eyes narrowed for now. Noticing a nearby open door and slipped inside...making sure the coast was clear before dropping her camouflage as she'd need it fully charged for this last bit.

Slipping into the upstairs room she was allowed to recharge her armor while loud sounds of sex drifted out into the hall. It was tougher to here but she could make out the creaking on the stairs not once but twice.

The first time it was someone approaching that room and being let into it. Momentarily the moaning grew louder as the door was opened. The next time it was someone approaching the room she was in forcing her to hide or use her armor again.

One of those subservient alien slaves arrived going to a filing cabinet in this office and looking through some files. He seemed oblivious to her focusing on the task he had been assigned. If uninterrupted he would pull forth a line file.

From a quick look around there were no computers here. She could only assume that the files were kept in order to leave no digital trace, thus no means of accessing them save for at this point. Either the slave was stealing something or based on what she knew about the species was getting something for his Master preparing something in advance.

Akiko narrowed her eyes as she hid for now to conserve her suits energy. She watched him calmly pull forth a line file as she narrowed her eyes at this...so paper files instead of digital. Akiko approached calmly...before she casually cleared her throat. "if you do not mind, could I see that file before you return it to your master?" She asked calmly one hand on her sword if the alien caused a ruckus or raised an alarm.

Alarmed at the sudden voice the alien jumped in response and turned toward her. No doubt she wasn't suppose to be here, armor and a sword to boot. Yet the alien did not attempt to sound an alarm. Nor did he seem confused about her presence.

“Certainly,” he answered. It did not hinder his actions to serve only delaying the arrival of the file for a few moments. Andros was busy, that was clear, but he had been instructed to take care of a few things in advance.

He turned over the file which was marked DEMETRIUS KRAY.

In it there were a few brief write ups depicting the man who was once an Ospoden knight that fell from grace. From the file the man seemed to be a thief of Ospoden religious artifacts, a terrorist and the leader of a group of mercenaries known collective as the Hand.

The alien made no move, docile as she expected, waiting for her to finish with the file. In the file there were a few photos too of Demetrius and a few bombed buildings along with the details of such bombings which targeted to knighthood back in his native system.

"Demetrius Kray...may I ask why your master is needing such a file on a person as this Demetrius?" Akiko asked calmly crossing her arms seeing the slave was being compliant for now as she narrowed her eyes. "Hmm the Ospoden huh..?" She said softly nodding her head, before she lightly thanked the slave and let him be on his way once he got the files.

Akiko needed to time this right...one slash would end Andros and maybe i f she is lucky she can either capture or terminate this Demetrius. She would have to plan for this and for now she was right in the Lions den.

“These files are records that the Master keeps on those that he has dealings with. He reviews them before meeting with individuals. Often they have detailed information that he can use to blackmail people or intimidate them. He is a Legar after all.

“I know a fair bit of how the Master conducts his business so I suspect that Demetrius Kray will suffer a similar fate when it comes to there arms deal later today.” The slave explained evidently not caring what she discovered.

The species was very unusual in that they simply accepted things as they were. Clearly she was here to eliminate the Master or steal one of the files. He would not aid her in these tasks but would not hinder her either.

Once he had the file back he was ready to depart unless she had other questions for him she was safe in the room for the time being.

"Very well then, apologies for keeping you." Akiko said moving aside and letting him head out of the room. She calmly smirked as she had a plan now. An Arms dealing would be an interesting way...she could terminate this Andros then perhaps arrest this Demetrius as well, a tempting plan indeed. Akiko smirked as she decided to for now keep an eye on Andros room...staying hidden in this room and hiding with her camouflage whenever someone came in.

She would stay like this until she heard or saw Andros heading out of his room. Whether to go to that arms deal meeting or something else. But she was ready to follow him soon as he did. Her eyes narrowed in determination.

The alien departed and as he did the volume of those moans grew louder as he headed out into the hall. Andros was busy for a far while as indicated by the moans. Hiding out her she could hear the moans, cries of pleasure and slaves coming and going for more than an hour before finally it all ceased.

Through her stealth and camouflage she was able to follow Andros to a study where the file was waiting for him. Here the Legar was alone save for the occasional visit by one of those odd alien slaves that brought him refreshments. What looked to be wine and a bowl of small living creatures, some sort of rodent that he snacked on as he thoroughly read Demetrius' file.

Other than this there seemed to be a Legar with him at all times. Not the same one but different ones picked him up in different sections of the compound. The arms deal was going on at the city. The truck she had come in on was being loaded up with a few cases of advanced arms and heading back out.

Two Legars in the truck, one with Andros in a car along with the driver. Five in all in addition to whoever Demetrius brought which would total five or less she thought. Of the five Andros and his guard looked proficient while the other three looked like the sort that did grunt work and not much fighting.
