"Ok, well, Vrot Na'thal, one of the Spaceport security Lieutenants was complaining that he had a hot tip on where some weapons smugglers were stashing their goods. Problem is, last time he went after these guys he lost a couple officers. His boss would rather let the guns go than take the heat for losing folks on what's supposed to be a low risk job. He's been authorized to hire some heavies to serve the warrant, but spaceport security isn't allowed on scene until it's safe. Seems to me, there's a couple opportunities there."

"Ooh, sounds dangerous for the heavies. Do you know the pay?" Nox looks over to Ken. "There's always a smuggler's option here too."
Feb 13, 2023 8:46 pm
"Also, is security more concerned with the arrests, or the retrieval of the goods?"
Feb 13, 2023 9:11 pm
'Maybe there's a way to relieve them of the guns without a shooting show?' muses Ken.

In answer to AD-hoc, Caleb replies, "Well, they're police of a sort, so they want it all. I'm pretty sure they 'suspect' the weapons but can identify the crew and pin the previous deaths on them. Once they are safely in custody that is. "

'Maybe a little chat with this Lieutenant is in order, see what the opposition is like? And what it's worth.'

"No harm in finding out. I'm in."

Despite the size of the spaceport, it only takes a couple of comms attempts to make contact with Spaceport Security Lieutenant Vrot Na'thal. Within the hour, he meets with you at one of the open air bars that decorate most of the spacers section.
[ +- ] Vrot Na'thal
Lieutenant Vrot approaches you and signals the two other officers with him to hang back. "Greetings gentlebeings, you are interested in working for Spaceport security in apprehending some criminals with us? You look capable, at least. These beings are responsible for killing two of my officers last time we caught up with them. "

'How many we looking at? How well armed?' asks Ken. 'And what's it worth to you?'
OOC:
Ken will try and negotiate a good rate of pay.

Rolls

Negotiation

2 Success, 2 Advantage, 1 Failure, 1 Threat

Total: 1 Success, 1 Advantage

"We've confirmed two from our last encounter with them, but there's probably two or three more. The two we identified have rewards for their capture, five thousand each. I'm fairly sure I can assign a reward of at least a thousand to any associates that are captured with them. I can pay you 700 each as a retainer, just in case you get there and they've already moved out. I don't want you to think I'd be wasting your time.
OOC:
The 700 is up from 500 due to the negotiation roll.

"Then I suppose we just need their supposed base of operations and last know location." AD-hoc says. Eager to have another paying job, albeit one that seems much riskier than the last.

Lieutenant Vrot fiddles with some cred sticks and lays one down along with a small data pad.

"There's the upfront credits and the warehouse location along with my comm code. Let me know when you have them subdued and we'll move in to take them into custody. Good luck sirs."
Feb 23, 2023 5:32 pm
'Sounds like a plan.' smiles Ken. 'If you can just give us a warrant stick or holopuck, show we're the good guys, then we can be on our way. Walk in the park.'
Feb 23, 2023 5:50 pm
"One day, you will have to explain to me what the parks are like where you are from Ken"
Feb 24, 2023 2:03 am
Nox mirrors Ken's smile, although most likely for different reasons. "This job is more my speed. My license should keep us above board but never a bad idea to have a warrant to show."

"The warrants are on the datapad, it details the charges etc."

Looking at the datapad, it does indeed contain the two warrants, one for a Human, Gestur Pag, the other for a Trandoshan, Tanomas Jantsk. Both are wanted for several charges of assault on officers and two counts of murder of law enforcement persons.

Ken gives a weak laugh at AD-Hoc's question. 'I'm from Nar Shaddaa, no parks there. Anywhere else is a step-up.'
Feb 25, 2023 12:44 pm
Nox whistles, "Serious charges. And a Trandoshan too. This might not be as easy as we thought. Just takes a little more caution though, we'll get em." Nox hands the datapad back to Ken and is ready to roll out.

AD-hoc had never met a Trandoshan before, so at the very least this trip would be educational. 'Yes ive heard the species is exceptionaly tough'

"And usually mean, but not as a rule. I would expect our quarry to fit the bill though."
