OOC:
Some things you can ask about that I have some info prepared on: how to infiltrate the auction, whose account is getting the stolen funds, how do we steal the gem, what do we know about the current owner, why does your father want the gem, how much is the jewel worth

OOC:
Well I guess if no one is going to ask...Jun 18, 2017 3:16 pm
Peppered by Akhrirar, as he does, she considers her answers.
"I'm not certain what security will look like for the auction. I imagine there will be some -- and given the value of the gem, I suspect there will be quite a bit of it. What will be most difficult is securing an invitation to the event so that you can legitimately be present. If you have a competent pilot, the most straightforward means of securing an invitation is to win the forthcoming Cloud Car Grand Prix -- it's on the same day as the auction."
She shifts in her chair, "As to how it's being stored beforehand -- I don't know anything. It's a very rare and unusually large corusca gem -- I think it's bigger than any other known gem of its type and it has a unique clarity and inner light. In a legal market, the gem would be worth somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 credits. However a legal market no longer exists -- and what it's worth at the auction is debatable."
"As to my father, the current owner of the gem, Marcus Grayson ruined my family -- and my father would like to make him squirm."

Akhrirar looks at Xenia and blinks slowly, "You're wearing pants, you aren't drunk, and you don't smell like corn chips... So yeah... you do know how to pilot..." Akhrirar thinks aloud, "What are they racing in this Cloud Car Gran Prix, anything go or does it have to be street legal and not falling apart? Combat part of the race?" asks the young woman a scheme already forming as his teeth slightly extend as his mouth is agap looking at Xenia and Fuzil.
OOC:
Akhrirar very much has a 'I have an idea' look.
Jun 21, 2017 11:52 am
Fuzil sees the look, and his shoulderss slump down lil.
oh no... he has a idea he winces a lil, b but then gives a small smile and nods back atAkh.

"What? Oh you'd prefer if it was Lin saying 'Hold my beer, Fuzil help me do this?'" Akhrirar states defensively.

"They race Cloud Cars, of course." With a smile, the Pantoran adds, "They are armed, definitely. But you're not allowed to kill a participant -- that would be quite gauche and would immediately disqualify you. However, inhibiting or disabling the other racers is well within the scope of the rules..."
With Mala's addition she nods, "And sabotage is not unheard of -- as a result, some of the racers will be quite protected from meddling hands an prying eyes."

That means we'll have to have people guarding Xenia's ride as we send Fuzil out to sabotage the others... Maybe I can drug the other racers?
Jun 23, 2017 3:59 pm
maybe we can find a nice used one... and add the Flair that it will need. I have a few ideas for nonlethal advantages...

"If you need a loaner, I'm sure my father can come up with something." She looks around, "Anything else you need me for? If not, I should be getting back to my husband and his employees..."
Jun 26, 2017 12:51 pm
"I hear the winning pilot also gets an all you can eat gourmet buffet ticket good for 3 hours not applicable to desserts can not share with other persons on parties or store food for later consumption (also can not hide food inside of a droid for later consumption)..." Akhirar entices flicking through some things on his datapad.
"If you need to get back so there's no suspicious thoughts I think you should, could we get the keys for this apartment? Unless any of you need her for anything?"

Aris considers the question. "Let me check with my father. In the absence of his assent, I'll need to escort you out and lock the door behind me. We can't have the family's precious things left out and about for just anyone to rifle through..." She smiles to soften the blow -- but it's clear she's not keen on having you have the run of her father's apartment, spartan though it may seem.
Jun 27, 2017 7:41 pm
well, we can always plan on the ship. but I think getting a loaner speeder and having fuzil tweak it to our needs sounds good.
Jun 30, 2017 4:12 am
Aris nods. "I'll follow up with Father." She escorts you out the door and locks the apartment behind her.
Anything strike your fancy?
OOC:
At this point, you have a variety of potential tasks ahead of you: (1) scope out the place where you need to steal the gem, (2) do background research on the potential bidders, (3) set up a base of operations so you can slice into the network and redirect the money from the auction into the right accounts, and (4) getting your cloud car set up and ready for the race.Anything strike your fancy?
