I think we're waiting to see what we find on Bespin, to case the warehouse, and then to formulate a plan.
Feb 4, 2017 12:30 am
After a little over a day in hyperspace, the stars reform and the cloud giant Bespin looms before you. Bespin is famous across the galaxy for two things: Tibanna gas, its major export, and a thin layer of breathable atmosphere called the Life Zone (unusual in a gas giant).
Floating in this narrow band are a number of cities and towns; the most famous by far is the capital: Cloud City.
The Horizon Chaser is easily granted permission to dock at the city; millions of visitors come every year to enjoy its resorts, spas, and casinos.
The first 50 levels are full of these tourist destinations, but you are headed deeper, into the residential area of Port Town. Your contact runs a pawn shop there, which you are able to find with little difficulty.

The interior of the pawn shop is dim and smells of dust and disuse. Myriad unloved belongings are piled haphazardly, with no apparent order or care. Spare parts and broken droids lie beside caff makers and musical instruments. At the back of the store, behind the counter, looms an Ithorian, who watches you enter. His eyes widen as the group grows in number; seldom are so many different species gathered together in Port Town. He rumbles, "Welcome…did you have something in particular you were looking for? Or are you looking to sell?"

Jack, eyeing the place to ensure there aren't any others that might eavesdrop, approaches the counter and asks casually, "Hello there. Are you Kiph?" He places his hands up, above board, onto the counter top.
Feb 5, 2017 3:15 pm
Savi listens in to the burgeoning conversation. It would require a deft hand to get the information the group would need without giving away so much as to place the team and their job in jeopardy. If anyone could manage it, it would be Jack.
That said, Savi was ready to step in to play either good cop or bad depending on what Jack might need. Kiph seems a straightforward type, but making assumptions in this galaxy based on appearances was a quick way to a nasty end.

Bo looks around the shop for any interesting computer, electronics or droid parts that she might use. She is interested in reprogramming and fixing the droid still, but also in anything that might catch her eye. She will look up from time to time to pay some attention to the conversation with the Ithorian. She stops at some medical equipment and picks it up to examine the quality. Wonder if this comes from the same source as the becta?
Feb 5, 2017 4:57 pm
Doc loiters near the door, trying to make it look like he's looking over the shops wares there but mainly trying to keep an eye outside to make sure they're not surprised.
Feb 5, 2017 7:38 pm
The Ithorian looks intrigued as he replies, "I am Kiph Lok." A hand slips beneath the counter.
Feb 5, 2017 9:21 pm
Please, don't shoot me, Jack thought, keeping his eyes from looking at Kiph Lok's hand, hoping that he wasn't the twitchy and nervous sort.
Jack smiles, keeping his hands shown. "I'm Jack. My associates and I recently made friends with a nice woman on Dantooine who said we should come here if we needed medical supplies. She said you might be able to tell us how to acquire them cheaply?" Jack's smile took on a different meaning with the tone of his voice.

Avox will lean on the doorway with his arms crossed, making the entrance seem uninviting to any others who may be out shopping. Though he will not directly bar passage if someone looks determined to enter. He trusts Jack and Savi to do their jobs.

"Indeed. I am very good at helping people find what they need. Please ask your friends to come inside, or stand clear of the door. I will close for lunch so that we can discuss this further."

At the Ithorian's confirmation of being the contact Doc moves towards the back of the shop as instructed.

Bo (and anyone else who wants to), please roll Perception or Streetwise to see if there's anything useful. You can use a more specific skill like Computers or Mechanics if you have something you are specifically looking for.Feb 6, 2017 11:20 am
Jack gives a quick whistle to get everyone's attention, gesturing to come inside.
Feb 6, 2017 11:21 am
The immediate tension seemingly diffused, Savi takes a quick scan of the room and a more concentrated examination of Kyph himself. In his many dealing with beings of every profession and background Savi has developed a reliable ability to discern truths about an individual based on seemingly insignificant little details. Everyone has them and anyone can see them...if they know how to look.

Avox gives the room a short look over as he heads to his companions. He is more interested in the happenings of the contact, and as always is on edge. Still, perhaps something will pop out to him.EDIT: Due to his splitting of his attention, Avox trips over something dramatically before catching himself.
OOC:
I added a black due to Avox not being overly interested or in-depth. More if something happens to stand out. OOC:

Savi, you notice he has the stance of a warrior, but does not seem to be threatened by your group.
OOC:
Take one blue to your next social interaction with him.Feb 7, 2017 12:32 am
Avox, you notice a spare blaster pack that would fit your weapon perfectly...and it seems to be fully charged.
