I would like to buy a hammer, but that can wait so we can get going.I suppose we should do a flyby and see what we can see?

Aerial reconnaissance would be good. Nox would also like to check things out on the ground. Laying an ambush would be better in his opinion than trying to walk in the front door.

'Before we go in all guns blazing..,' he smiles, 'As much as I'd like to, maybe we should get some more information on who we're dealing with. Trandoshans usually mean trouble.'
OOC:
So this warehouse is somewhere in Celanon City? Ken would like to visit a few spacer bars, and places maybe even less salubrious, see if there's any talk about the smugglers and their run-ins with the spaceport security - buy a few drinks, loosen a few lips. In particular, he'd like to know if there's anyone behind these guys, any larger organisation that might pose them a problem. Not sure if that is Streetwise or Charm so I'll roll both and let our GM decide.Rolls

AD-hoc will take a slighty different tactic and try to find out where the goods they've stolen would most likely be sold.

not sure on the difficulty or number of setback die. I feel like he's walking in Buscemi-style "How Do You Do, Fellow criminals" lolRolls

@Ken - Streetwise for the win! Your afternoon of bar hopping conversations lead to a few nuggets, seems these guys are new in this area and haven't moved enough stuff to bother anyone. If they are working for someone else, they're off planet. The warehouse is in the northern spacers district, on the western side, near the freight entrances to the spaceport.
@AD-hoc, nice hammer. :) It does appear AD-hoc was absent on 'Espionage Day' at the droid school. He gets several odd looks when inquiring about finding someone that would like to buy illegal weapons.
@Nox, :( Finding the on world bounty from spaceport security is easy enough, but nothing else turns up about these two.

Ken swaggers back to join the others, a faint whiff of alcohol around him. 'These guys are newbies, no reputation yet. If they're backed by someone they're off-world. Shouldn't be any blowback if we have to neutralise them.'
Mar 2, 2023 11:15 pm
AD-hoc takes in this new information, but has nothing to offer in exchange. I was unable to acquire any useful information from from the business people I conversed with.
Mar 3, 2023 3:23 am
"Nothing new from the other hunters either. They may seem small time, but caution still keeps our hides in-tact."
Mar 6, 2023 10:26 pm
'A couple of us could reconnoitre the warehouse before we make our assault?' Then he adds with a smile, 'Maybe not AD-hoc.'
Mar 7, 2023 2:30 am
"Perhaps AD-hoc could do some prep work for us. You know, that reminds me. I'm not sure I've ever asked your current specialty AD-hoc. What are you best suited for?"
Mar 7, 2023 4:04 am
AD-hoc perked up, but then paused for a moment. He still wasn't used to how this group treated him as a member of a team. It was much different (and better) than the last group he hung out with. The old gang had just tossed items his way, usually stolen, and demanded that he fix them.
"I was built and programmed for repairs and mantinance. Although my last ... assignment led to work most would consider 'morally flexible' at best. Though it made no difference to me. I can repair and or modify most things. I also have some basic slicing skill available. Thank you for asking.

'So AD-hoc can see if he can access the warehouse power and data networks while we take a closer look.'
Mar 13, 2023 1:29 am
Nox smiles at AD-hoc. "You're welcome, my friend."
Pivoting to Ken, "That sounds reasonable to be. I'm ready to check it out when you are."

The three of you cross the spacer's section to find the warehouses. There is a large area of various sized buildings just across from the main throughfair that separates the spacers section from the Spaceport on this side of town. Tracking down the exact warehouse is fairly simple and spotting it, your a little suprised at its size. It's maybe 30m wide and possibly just as deep, call it 1000 sq meters. Quite likely the cheapest these guys could find. There is a large roll up truck door in the front of the building and at least one person sized door on each side.
OOC:
Ken and Nox, let me know any stealth, recon, etc. rolls. For most let's go with 2P and see where that leads. AD-hoc, if your going to try and slice the datanetwork connected to the warehouse, it's 2P if you want to slice the power grid (hoping to affect this warehouse) it's 2P and 2 Black.

OOC:
If AD-hoc can shut off lights in the area, will that make their stealth check easier?Mar 14, 2023 10:44 pm
Aware that this is a busy industrial quarter, Ken tries his best to look casual and sidle up to one of the smaller doors without drawing any attention to himself. When he gets there he takes a look at the lock.
OOC:
I'll happily take any help AD-hoc can offer. Ken has an Electronic Lock Breaker for any more complex electronic locking system. Otherwise he'll have to do it the old fashioned way, lockpicks and hand eye coordination (I've rolled Skulduggery for that).Rolls
