Kaliyo: The pirate's on her way, security droids say she's armed, but she won't be trouble.
Karrels: Let's hope not.
Here she is now.
Kaliyo: I'll go tell the boss.
Karrels: This is Karrels.
Tell the throne room that the Blade's arrived.
When Nem'ro shows, stay at least five meters back and don't come up
unless you're called.
One wrong move, and you're a pile of ash.
Agent: Worried I'm going to cause trouble?
Karrels: Just going over the rules. You've got a reputation and we don't want any problems.
Karrels: Allow me to present Nem'ro the Hutt. The illustrious crime king of Jigunna.
So the Red Blade Finally comes to visit the house of Nem'ro. Great honor comes to the both of us.
I did not expect you to be so soft however. Very few pirates possess charms like yours. Ha!
Now, let us see if the legends of the mighty Blade's generosity are true. What have you brought me and my clan?
Agent: Vast treasures plundered from worlds in every sector in the galaxy. All for you great Nem'ro
Nem'ro: You talk big, little pirate, but your boasts do not interest me.
Karrel's Not bad. Nem'ro, the idols here are real orodium.
The cloth looks like--
Nem'ro: I see, Karrels, I see. Mmm.
You are an impressive creature, Blade. You may conduct your dealings on Hutta with my approval.
Now, experience the luxuries of my palace. Enjoy my slaves, and wallow in opulence!
Agent: I'm very grateful.
You've got quite a place here.
Nem'ro: Good, very good!
Let me introduce my advisors. You have met Karrels Javis; any business you have, you may discuss with him.
And this is Toth'lazhen--
Toth'lazhen: Nem'ro, we have little time for guests right now. Security reports that Fa'athra and his clan have struck at our shipments again.
Nem'ro: Jiguuna is mine! Hutta is mine! Fa'athra knows he defies the laws of the Cartel! I will destroy everything Fa'athra treasures, and--
Karrels: Looks like your audience with Nem'ro is over.
You'll have to forgive the interruption.
I've been working for that Hutt since he killed my gang when I was thirteen.
Trust me you can't talk to him when he's like this.
Agent: Seems like your boss has some temper.
Why stay with him?
Karrels: Because Nem'ro's got power, and smarts
along with his temper.
I like things a little more orderly than he does, but I don't complain.
We're having trouble with the Fa'thra clan and it's getting to all of us.
Fa'athra's out of line.
But the Hutt Cartel hasn't bothered to interfere.
Agent: I'm not sure I understand.
Why would the Hutt Cartel be involved?
Karrels: According to Cartel Rules:
Nem'ro and Fa'athra are supposed to stick to their territories.
Fa'athra's decided Cartel rules don't apply.
Now look,
I need to work up new plans with security and keep an eye on Toth'hazhen
to keep him from suggesting anything stupid.
In the meantime you're a guest, and you've got our permission to do business here.
You get the run of the palace, so I'll see you around.
