Wandering out of Farlander's, Ken looks longingly at the array of bars. Patting his near empty pockets he reluctantly passes them by looking for Sonou's Apparel. Ken looks admiringly at himself in the mirror, the smuggler's vest is a bit big but he likes what he sees. Still, he suspects he might need a bit more than that on this mission and he corners an attendant to ask, subtly, about some clothing with a bit more protection.
@Blih, Give me your Disguise check and then describe how you'd like to start gathering info and what roll you'll use with an average (PP) check.
Entering the nearest bar he perches on a stool and orders a cocktail. He looks around the room for likely drinking companions. Hey, maybe he could find out a thing or two while he's here. Why should that Blih have all the fun?
Ken is going to have a few drinks and make a few friends. Try and probe a little bit for general info on what's going on in the station, trying not to give anything away about the job. I'll make an assumption it'll cost 50cr and will roll a Charm check at average difficulty

He then go dress up as a grizzled middle aged human with overworn work clothes and a cap. He will then go around some part of the Wheel alternating between two different stories with the role of a slightly drunk weary crew dog. In some places he is gonna ask about rumors of dangers in the sector they are going (Pirates, spaces hazards, imperials presence etc.). In others, he'll lead conversation toward treasure ship and let slip that a cousin as witnessed the recently recovered pod's message saying the ship last coordinate where in x sector. He'll make sure to name a few different sector but slightly focus on one in particular, so the rumors seems diffused enough to be only slightly credible.
On his tour, he'll pay a few credit to buy drinks when needed and remove his disguise somewhere before going back to the ship.
May I argue a boost on the Deception for rumors for sticking close to verifiable truth?

@Blih - You can mark off 50 or so credits, your rolls are good enough not to worry to much about a boost. You have learned -
A number of beings have been asking around for anyone who has astrogation paths to the planet Cholganna , but none have turned up as of yet.
Cholganna is the home to the famed and feared Nexu. The Nexu trade is highly profitable for those who can pull it off. Cubs and black Nexu fetch the highest prices.
The Yiyar Clan is threatening and warning away anyone who even mentions the hyperspace pod. Some guy named "Too-Low" Talo, has been snooping around Iso-Tech looking for info.
@Blih and AD-hoc - Your attempts at distracting the 'opposition' have had an affect. But there's no narrative way to describe it without giving away 'behind the scenes' stuff.
You all rendezvous back at the ship, purchased gear and time well spent now in the past. It's only a couple hours until Reom's sister is supposed to arrive with IT-3PO so you can depart.
Then, conspiratorially he whispers, 'What do you know about the Yiyar Clan?'

Longshot, this is Shira. I've just landed, once we get settled I'll send IT-3PO over with a couple of our guards. Be aware though, a couple Rodians broken into Reom's office. He ran them off, but seems he may be hurt. I'll be heading there to check on him. Expect IT-3PO in 20 minutes sharp. Once he's there you should probably head out.
