He drew his blaster pistol from it's holster, and shot off a few rounds until everyone calmed down, as did the bar's proprietor. He spoke to the owner, ensuring that he'd take care of this.
He walked over, with a reasonably calm, casual pace, and re-holstered his blaster. He slowed, when he got within a couple yards of the freighter captain, and caught sight of him.
He paused a moment, seeing the captain and first officer of the freighter having been brought to the front of subdued crew that had seemingly started the fight. He stood in front of the first officer first.*
I don't know you.
*He then turned to the captain.*
But you... I never forget a face. *He paused.* Mister... Lestraid. Isn't it?
*Nevan looked away, and took another casual swig of his drink.* I never thought to see your face again.
*The first officer looked to the captain, puzzled.*=First Officer=
"Captain, who is this man?"
*Lestraid's response to it was contemptuous, as he knew Nevan from their mutual Republic days.*=Capt. Lestraid=
"A criminal. A product of twisted motives and lust for unbridled power beyond the Republic's laws."
*The freighter's first officer, seeking to protect the captain and all else on their mission, looked to Nevan, and addressed him.*=First Officer=
"What do you want with us? I demand that you..."
*Nevan cut off the first officer with a simple wave of his hand.* You are in a position to demand nothing, Sir.
*He then turned to the first officer, having looked away, and finished.* I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant nothing.
What you see is but a man free of his shackles, cut loose when your Republic saw it fit to dispose of me for learning all that I could.
*The F.O. struggled a bit, of course trying to reason his way out this.*=First Officer=
"Listen, you can just..."
"Soldier, soldier..."
*Nevan chuckled a little, amused that the officer would try.* "Save your strength. I have learned to do things you couldn't even imagine. Do you mean to tell me that he never told you the tale?"
*He turned to Lestraid.* "To amuse your crew? No?"
*Nevan turned back to the first officer.* "Never told you how I had studied, and learned so much to become a better Republic trooper, only to have it shoved back at me when your captain turned me in?"
