Stepping off the ship one is instantly struck by the stale and parched atmosphere of Formos. The air is breathable, but desiccated despite the cool climate. Even the short walk from the ship to Rii Jenks Cantina makes one feel a bit parched. This makes the presence of the water sellers are patrolling the streets and docks to be understandably common, even though the prices they advertise would be considered extortionate on most other habitable worlds.
Of course while easy to see from the starport the disorderly jumble of haphazardly constructed dwellings around the Cantina makes for a maze of tight streets and even tighter alleyways filled with all manner of obstructions. Portable trash compactors, piles of crates, and personal moisture condensers line the gangways that thread between houses and shops.
As your weaving your way through one particular maze of streets and alleyways you notice a couple of humans in side alleyway slightly off the path your on. One appears to be female carrying something large upon her back and the the other a male which ascertained by over hearing a bit of the conversation taking place. As the male says in a growling manner, "I'm here to collect a cut for the Big Man around these parts, know what I mean? That'll be twenty credits if you know what’s good for you, plus five extra for the trouble you caused me."
"But.. but I need that for food," comes a raspy pleading response from the female.
Still growling the male replies, "Well I can fix it so you don't need to eat ever again or you can just give me those creds and I will be on my way."
