EXT. ZORQO'S ZOO OF ZANINESS -- MONTAGE

Eventually Anakin and Nashira, Siri and Corin, and Obi-Wan and Nemec regroup. From there they go to various different attractions together, enjoying the fun parts and suffering through the painful bits together as one collective family.

As the suns lower on the horizon, the collective family leaves to return home.

INT. DUQUESNE HOMSTEAD -- MONTAGE 

Back at the homestead, the three couples steal away into their own seperate bedrooms. There, under the sheets, beneath the deep shadows of night, the men make love to their women, slowly and tenderly.

INT. NAR SHADDAA -- CHANCE CASTLE/CORRIDOR -- EVENING

Slipping discretely inside, Llomon and Mahttoh are led by Jukassa's man to a door guarded by his comrade-in-arms. After exchanging salutes with his peer, the guard steps aside and opens the door leading through to the dark room inside. 

INT. CHANCE CASTLE/JUKASSA'S QUARTERS/LIVING AREA -- EVENING

Stepping inside, the three find Jukassa seated in a spacious armchair in wait for them, an activate datapad in his hand. The former despot is reading the contents of the pad casually and without haste, seemingly oblivious to the presence of his guests.

GUARD #2: Lord-Commandant.

Taking his eyes away from the pad, Jukassa focuses them on his servant. In all other regards, he remains statue still.

GUARD #2: (gestures toward the Trandoshan and Wookiee) These are Llomon and Mahttoh, lord, the bounty hunters I have sought out for you.

GOG JUKASSA: Yes, I know. (to the bounty hunters) You can come forward. (to the guard) You -- leave.

As the guard steps away to leave the room, it is clear from his body language that in spite of his own bearing as a born-and-bred warrior, he lives in abject fear of this ex-tyrant. As the pair of merciless killers step toward Jukassa, on the other hand, it is clear that whatever emotion the man elicits from them, it certainly isn't fear.

GOG JUKASSA: You're precisely on time. I admire that in a being. Were either of your races bred for punctuality?

LLOMON: (sneers) What?

GOG JUKASSA: (cocks an eyebrow) No, I gather not. Still, your races have potential. They would do well to adopt eugenic programs in the near future.

LLOMON: (matter-of-factly) You have a job for us.

GOG JUKASSA: Yes -- yes, indeed I do. (beat) My name is Gog Jukassa, out of Lod by Maag. Have you heard of me?

MAHTTOH: No.

GOG JUKASSA: (sighs) Unfortunate. (beat) I was the Lord-Commandant of Ophuchi, the 45th of one-hundred sons. Ours was a proud dynasty, one which endured for over twelve generations, shepherding our people faithfully to keep them free of genetic contamination and regression.

LLOMON: How sad. What point are you driving at?

GOG JUKASSA: (frowns) My point is that I was dethroned and exiled. In disgrace I was forced to leave my Ophuchi -- my beautiful, gem-oceaned Ophuchi -- for this rancid Hutt cesspool. Forced by infidels and traitors to wallow amongst genetically impure filth. (angry) I crave retribution! It will be mine!

Taking the datapad in his hand, Jukassa hurls it across the room, dashing it to a thousand pieces against the far, marble-inlaid wall.

LLOMON: We aren't mercenaries.

MAHTTOH: If you want help retaking your world, hire the Federation Neimoidia.

GOG JUKASSA: I'm not looking to recapture the throne. I'm too keenly aware that I don't have the finances to support such a crusade. All I seek is a pure and final revenge.

LLOMON: Who's our target?

GOG JUKASSA: Your targets (reaches inside his tunic) are these.

Withdrawing a pair of photographs, Jukassa hands them to Llomon. Taking the squares of flexible plastic, the lizard man looks them over.

GOG JUKASSA: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Jedi.

MAHTTOH: Jedi?

GOG JUKASSA: They humiliated me in dishonourable combat. They have earned my wrath above all others.

LLOMON: Jedi will cost you extra.

GOG JUKASSA: All that I still have will be yours if need be. Honour is of greater worth to me than coin. 

MAHTTOH: What info do you have on this Kenobi and Skywalker?

GOG JUKASSA: What I have compiled I have saved to datacard for your perusal. 

Reaching back into his tunic, Jukassa pulls out a datacard.

GOG JUKASSA: The basics, though, are these: Kenobi shares a home with his wife on Coruscant. Skywalker, meanwhile, calls the Corporate Sector home. He lives on one of the planets in the Orron system.
