3.0 - The Jewel Heist

Leaving the Shen's apartment, you gather back at the FTY and have a conversation about the various things you need to do and in what particular order to do them. Concerned that there's more afoot than you like -- and given your recent experience with losing a pilot the last time you split up, you collectively decide that discretion is the better part of valor and you opt to stick together.

That being done, a quick call to Arend Shen yields, "Oh, I can certainly loan you a Cloud Car," his emphasis on the word loan is emphatic, deliberate and elongated -- and difficult to miss. "It may take me a few hours to transfer your credentials to the garage with the Cloud Car that I'm loaning to you. Would you prefer for me to message you here when it's ready or contact me at a future time?"

"Fair enough," Arend states, signing off. Considering your list of things to do, you subsequently decide that using the next couple hours to learn about the heist and scope out the location may be a good thing to do.

The auction is due to take place at the Figg & Associates art museum -- an upscale art gallery on the 22nd level of Cloud City. A helpful electronic brochure you're able to download happily informs you that the art museum was one of the first attractions to be commissioned by Ecclessis Figg during the construction of the city and has remained a popular attraction since (Especially for the discerning artist in all of us!).
