Chapter 16 - The Umbaran Incident

The TSF, I had no care for their bodies. The Boosodian Jedi Akarc Jhandril however, I begin to care for. My care is expertly removing the head and laying out the body in a visible but resting position. I took some clothes and put them underneath the now headless body for it to rest on. Then I leave my mark on the ground next to the corpse, easy to see. My name, Bido, in Yautja writing glyphs colored a neon green. The language has never been seen in the galaxy. They won't be able to decipher it with only four glyphs.

My bounty finished, I promptly left the scene. I took the head to a meeting point in the Umbaran capital city. A place in the "underworld" of the city. A heavily robed figure approached the meeting point. The being was waiting and looking. I am cloaked and unseen on the wall. I drop the head right in front of them. The being is startled, but quickly recognizes the head. It looks around before calming down. Seeing no one, it speaks in basic, "Confirmation completed, you'll receive your payment soon. Good work." It then takes the head in a bag and walks away.

I do not care for the identity of the being, so I just leave. I go back to Myrkr as I don't want to be around for the fiasco. Once at my base, I do take a look at the galactic holo-net.

Reading through, the Republic was in an uproar. Days going by, people were researching. The Republic authorities were looking at all my previous bounties. They had even linked my past hunts to my bounty hunting "style". I was traced all the way back to my fun on Ord Mantell. While it wasn't publicly stated, I am sure they know I killed of Ki-Adi Mundi's wives. The Jedi even made an official action against the guild to hand over all information on me. The guild complied, but of course my information had only my name and ID number. It had no picture nor address. Nothing was there they could use to find me.

Some of the better news entities managed to find out that the guild offered to excommunicate me from the guild. The Jedi refused so they can have a way to know what I do. I won't stop taking bounties though.

The news in the underworld is that Black Sun has issued a 500 million credit bounty on me. They aren't paying in republic credits either. I suppose killing a council member on Ord Mantell would illicit such a reaction now that they know who did it.

My assassination became known as the Umbaran incident. Umbara itself became even more troublesome from my actions. To stabilize the political climate, two jedi knights and one jedi master were sent as diplomats. They managed to calm the political climate.

What helps me is that the Republic/Jedi have been looking for me in the mid and outer rim. They're not even looking in the inner rim the fools. I'm in their backyard yet they don't even care to look in it. Arrogance and stereotypes like this is why this current order will fall.

As a hardened Zabrak once said, "There is no order but the one that will replace it."

Maul will be a good meeting. I won't hunt him down though. His death by the hand of Kenobi was something I liked. A fitting end to their tale. I will get rid of some Jedi that would die in Order 66 though. Better dead by my blades than by a blaster bolt to the back.

I am entertaining the idea of maybe saving Aayla Secura though. Given, I can shake her Jedi ways and have her become mine. She'll be suitable for starting my own clan in this galaxy.

Although, if I fail to make her mine. I suppose I'll have to be satisfied with another. As her skull would become my trophy if that is the case.
