Since the Vaz Zito doesn't know your coming, you'll have to try and catch up with them at the starport on Columex. Columex is located near the intersection of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Salin Corridor. It is a highly urbanized trade world, where most anything can be found and with the volume of ship traffic, it's simple to disguise your hyperspace Origin and Destination.

Pergano hits the comms on the ship We are dropping out of hyperspace. I figure it wont take long to get planetside. Make sure we are all ready

Ken straps on his heavy blaster and conceals a holdout blaster, a stun grenade, and brass knuckles. He looks longingly at his frag grenades but decides they're probably not going to be a good idea on an urbanised trade world and slips in a vibroknife and some stimpacks instead. He's still dressed in his armoured clothing, but at least carrying his scanner goggles rather than wearing them. Activating his comlink headset he broadcasts over the ship comms, 'Let's make this subtle everyone okay? Low key.'
Feb 1, 2022 10:30 pm
Foess rolls his eyes and keys the comms. Low key is my middle name! I'll bring my blaster though, just in case.

AD-hoc, getting ready to leave the engine room where he hangs out, also chimes in over the comms "I am a droid, 'low key' comes naturally."
Feb 1, 2022 11:30 pm
'I also said "subtle"' laughs Ken, remembering some of the droid's less than expert tradecraft.

"I don't do much sublte," Kytra said as she rejoined the others, carrying her rifle bag in one hand. She had briefly returned to her quarters and geared up again, only leaving the poncho behind. "but I can do civil," the warrior said and slung the strap of the case over her shoulder. "I'll bring this just in case," Kytra added and tugged the strap. Sensing a growing confusion incoming, she swiftly diffused it, "I have a licence," she assured them, seeing as they were entering an urban area. Of course, actually having all of her gear on her if things really went downhill also seemed like the sensible thing to do, for now.

Navigating the port landing procedures is smooth enough, especially for a port as busy as Columex. Once on the ground, you pull up the landing bay status and search for the Vaz Zito. It's listed in the medium size bays just a couple klicks away from where you are.

While they walk the distance to the Vaz Zito, Ken keeps his eyes pealed for any sign of the Yiyar Clan and uses his comlink to call the port control to see if any craft have arrived from The Wheel recently.
Feb 2, 2022 10:35 pm
AD-hoc will look around, trying to take it all in. He can still count the planets he's been on one a Dug's foot. He tries to keep an eye out for a store when he can buy mechanics supplies. He'll also look for a place where they can find another job. Just in case this one goes smoothly.

Not really knowing much about who the Yiyar Clan was, Kytra simply kept a lookout for anyone paying too much interest in them. She followed slightly behind the others, letting them take the lead, but stayed close to the doc in case something happened.
Feb 3, 2022 1:53 pm
Ken's very reasonable request seems to hit a cord with the control tower operative, who launches into some semi-coherent tirade about how many ships come and go, not to mention the ones that lie about where they are coming and going to...

Kytra slowed her pace slightly when it became apparent they were approaching the docking bay in question. Trailing a little bit more, she simply gave a reassuring nod to anyone who looked back towards her that she was still with them. She kept a watchful eye as they came closer to their destination, subconsciously gripping the strap of her rifle bag with one of her hands.

Cursing and turning off his comlink, Ken mutters 'Kung, koochoo! Unhelpful jobsworth!'
Approaching the Vaz Zito berth, Ken quietens down, and starts carefully studying the area around the ship, looking for anything suspicious. His hand twitches involuntarily as he holds it poised above his blaster, ready to draw.

Foess stays alert, as always in a populous port. You never know who is watching...

With Kytra's attention focused more generally around the group, she doesn't see the two Rodains that the others spot. It takes Ken a second to realize that the two are standing 'guard' outside the docking bay and wearing Yiyar colors on their jackets. As the four of you pause, another thought crosses your minds. The timing is too tight, from your acquisition of the Slippery Ghest, to the battle at Raxus Prime to now has been less than a week. The Ghest would barely be over due from a journey beyond the rim, no Yiyar were on Raxus when you guys escaped. Whatever's going on here, must be some parallel Yiyar operation...
Feb 5, 2022 2:07 pm
Trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, Ken signals to his companions the presence of the two Rodians.
Feb 7, 2022 1:53 pm
It took Kytra a few moments to realize what the situation at hand actually was, as she was too busy scanning the area and not as concerned with what was right in front of them. "That them?" she whispered, also trying her best not to draw attention. As she had no knowledge of the tight timeline in question, the scenario in front of her still made sense based on what the group had told her, so she mentally started preparing herself for combat.
