'Well greetings Feudjio. I was given your name by my friend in The Eternal Brotherhood of Ocsin Explorers.'
Feb 25, 2025 9:23 pm
"Excellent, you are the call I was expecting. I'm at docking pad 94 or if you'd rather can meet you at your ship. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what has made the long trip from the 'rest of the galaxy' out to our little piece of it."
OOC:
Your at docking pad 36 if you want him to come to you.

'We'll meet you there' says Ken, not sure he wants this individual poking around his ship just yet.
Feb 25, 2025 11:19 pm
"Maybe I can sneak in first, and make sure this looks legitimate."
Feb 25, 2025 11:36 pm
Ken sniggers, 'You aren't known for your stealthiness droid.'
Feb 25, 2025 11:59 pm
AD-hoc gives the droid approximation of a shrug "I did say 'Maybe'. Shall we just head over then?"
Feb 26, 2025 10:43 pm
Ken studies the droid closely - he's not sure they're capable of sulking but this one seems to be doing the best impression of it he can. 'How about using your naturally nondescript demeanour and taking a look while you pretend to service one of the ships?'

You want me to keep an eye on our lawly friend or should I help you out? Zailor asks chuckling about the idea of a sneaking droid.
Feb 27, 2025 6:44 am
AD-hoc doesn't reply, he just starts walking and heads to docking pad 94 to try and fulfill Ken's request. He tries to look like he belongs as he roams the halls, trying to casually assess what's around.
OOC:
added a couple rolls in case they are needed.

AD-hoc wanders across the Starport, weaving around or sometimes straight through landing pads. As he approaches pad 94, he see's two Ocsin males coming down the ship ramp. The are well dressed, by his assessment, and one of them is pushing a repulsor pallet. Both have sleek but small blasters on their hip. Nothing out of the ordinary and they do not look rushed or concerned. Once off the ship, they close the ramp and head toward the Ghest.

AD-hoc turns on his comm "Looks legitimate, 2 armed Ocsin disembarking."
Mar 1, 2025 6:32 pm
Ken invites Zailor to join him outside the Ghest. He's wearing his blaster but no body armour and has a very small sample of the spice slipped inside a pocket.
Mar 2, 2025 5:52 pm
Zailor grabs his gear and joins Ken outside the ship.

As the two Ocsin approach, pushing a repulsor pallet, Ken and Zailor can tell they are being 'sized up' almost exactly as Ken and Zailor are sizing them up. The two male Ocsin are dressed in what looks like business casual and each has a 'dainty' blaster pistol on their hip. Almost like an accessory rather than the more functional and powerful weapons that Ken and Zailor are carrying.

They come to a stop a couple meters away. The one not pushing the pallet, takes a step forward, "We'll you gentlemen look like you could tear the ears off a Gundark without breaking a sweat. That's good, working types tend to bring better goods than the stuffed up suits we sometimes get. Like anyone one out here needs some perfume from the core." The Ocsin share a laugh over some obvious inside joke. "So, I'm Feudjio, what great bounty from the inner worlds do you have for me today?"
Mar 3, 2025 9:42 pm
Ken doesn't say a word. He just takes out the little opaque packet of Glitterstim from his pocket and tosses it to Feudjio. Once the Ocsin has had a chance to sample it he says simply 'One hundred doses.'
Mar 3, 2025 11:45 pm
Feudjio catches the packet, as he holds it up, you see his pencil thin eyebrows raise and he looks back at you for a second. Pulling an obviously modified hand scanner out of his pocket, he lays the opaque packet on the repulsor pallet and scans it. After a few moments, he "hrm's" to himself and turns back to Ken. "Well, it's not perfume from the core. I'm going to assume that since you got my number from the Explorer's Guild, you're getting ready for an expedition. That's the kind of thing that helps my trade and my planet. Considering how far you had to bring this, I'm willing to go 8,000cr., if we don't haggle. Also, you'd be working your way onto my favorite supplier list. What do you say?"
Mar 4, 2025 4:15 am
AD-hoc's head turns to Ken as the droid flatly says "I've never been anyone's favorite before. Are there burdens attached to such a title?"

While the others do a deed that their lawyer had best not know about, Creds positions himself near the entrance to the docking bays, where some burly workers are on break. He leans against a wall and pulls out a datapad. As he pretends to peruse it, placed just in front of his field of vision, he arcs an ear toward the stevedores, listening to see if they spill the beans about anything interesting.
OOC:
Of course, they may not have anything to say. Just wanted to position Creds by the entrance to the docking bays as a lookout.

OOC:
Excellent, no reason to let you guard down, just because it's 'supposed' to be a milk run :)

'Don't worry droid, you...they...oh never mind,' whispers Ken. His bulbous eyes enlarge even more when he hears what the Ocsin is willing to pay. That's a significant profit on what they paid for it back on the Iso-one. For a moment he considers bargaining harder but two things occur to him, one is that he doesn't have any other contacts out here and the other is that it would probably be useful to cultivate a supply line out here on the edge of Wild Space, particularly if they pick up anything on their travels they want to get rid of in a hurry without taking it back to Isotech. 'I think we can do business,' is eventually all he says with a tight smile.

OOC:
I think that's a good profit over what we paid (2k?) and what it is worth in mainstream space (5k?) so Ken will likely see that and hope that he's potentially made a long-term contact.
