OOC:
Two crates seems like a reasonable number to me that wouldn't be missed. What do you guys think?May 10, 2023 5:23 pm
OOC:
agreed. I also don't want to take so much that we raise eyebrows on the way to the ship.May 10, 2023 10:15 pm
Gesturing at the repulsor pallet Ken smiles, 'One of us can take a crate back to the ship while the rest tidy up here. How many do you think we can get on this pallet?' He tries to haul one of the crates onto a pallet.

AD-hoc goes to assists Ken with lifting crates "Tidy up? I don't think we can hide the mess made here."

Nox stows his weapon and checks on their quarry. "It'll be the officials cleaning up most of it so I'll just kick back and relax here."

AD-hoc and Ken load a couple crates on to the pallet mover.
OOC:
Ok, who goes, stays, someone calling your contact?May 11, 2023 9:23 pm
'Let's pile these guys up in that TV room,' says Ken. 'Then if they wake up before security get here...' He hands Nox a frag grenade and shrugs. 'I want that back.'
Then he looks at AD-hoc, 'Wanna smuggle some guns?'

AD-hocs photoreceptor lights dim as he seriously ponders the question "Yes, I do."

"And I hope to be able to return it." Nox helps drag the guys into the room and then sits down for a breather and to call in security.

One very excited Lieutenant Vrot answers the call from Nox. He arrives, quicker than you would expect and with half dozen other police and a repulsor van for hauling off the captives. He seems very relieved to have these guys secured and the 10 crates of weapons have all of the officers buzzing.
"Very excellent work, very tidy. Here's the credits we discussed." Looking around the warehouse, he wonders, "Where have your other friends gone off to, I expected all three of you to be part of this?"
Meanwhile, Ken and AD-hoc are pulling a pallet lift through the streets towards the main entrance to the spaceport. There's a little more security here than on most outer rim planets.

Given the damage Ken and Nox received I don't think it would be unreasonable to say they're getting medical attention!May 12, 2023 1:46 pm
'Nice and casual,' says Ken. 'Nothing to see here.'

"Nice and casual" AD-hoc repeats while trying to mimic Ken's nonchalant demeanor while moving the pallet.

Nox gladly accepts the credits when offered. When questioned about the other's whereabouts he removes his helmet, showing his tired and sweaty visage. "They went on ahead to get some treatment and to prepare some for me. These guys meant serious business. We figured only one of us needed to stay and since I'm technically the bounty hunter, it fell to me."

"Fair enough, " says the Lieutenant. You get the feeling he's happier to have these two in custody than worry about tangling with your crew if you decided to pinch a bit.
"See to yourself then and the Lianna security forces thank you."
As Ken and AD-hoc stroll towards the Crew entrance to the spaceport, a bored looking guard waves them to stop.
"C'mon guys, you know there's a per crew member credit limit on local purchases. Anything over five thousand per crew member counts as trade goods. You'll have to take it through the Customs portal. "

'My good man, we've just picked up a few odds and ends that the owner no longer required,' says Ken with a smile and a laugh. 'No need to bother customs with such a trifle...' He tries to stay light and jovial.
OOC:
Ken's trying to Charm his way past the guard but if he can't do that he wants to figure out if the guy might accept a bribe to look the other way.Rolls

"You're quite welcome." Nox takes his leave and makes his way towards the ship.
OOC:
I'm fully anticipating arriving at whatever the least convenient or most comedic time would be.May 15, 2023 12:34 pm
The guard looks amused at Ken's response and shakes his head in a relaxed manner.
"Like I said mate, the rule is 5000cr of personal gear per crew member or you have to run it through customs. If those are full of stuffed bantha toys, I'd say your fine. If it's blaster rifles, there's fifteen or twenty thousand credits worth. So how many crew are on your ship?"

OOC:
Nice charm roll, feel free to have Nox walk up during the next response. May 16, 2023 8:34 pm
Maintaining his calm and cheerful demeanour, Ken laughs and says, 'Well, as it happens, we have a crew of three so it shouldn't be a problem. You don't want to make us go all the way back to customs just to tick boxes...'
OOC:
Is it only three at the moment?load next
