Hayabusa's Dawn of Defiance: Chapter II: A Wretched Hive

[perrinmiller]

Mack chuckles, but his eyes look at Darius appraising, "Ahh, still no. After dealing with one crazy card-carrying lightsaber wielder always charging at the enemy, you will likely win that bet easily."

Mack remembers the seemingly precognitive abilities of Keyton and his tendency to just barge right into combat, often not bothering for caution or diplomacy. With that being his only example of Jedi behavior, he expects similar things from Darius until proven otherwise.

OOC: Not really, Binder_Fred, it's pretty much a military ship and not very heavy on luxuries.

Mir sighs and shakes her head at Mack and Sloor, "You two are aware that Jedi are not just 'saber boys' or charge in and destroy? They were guardians of peace and justice."

She continues, "And if you cannot see the writing on the wall of what the Empire is up to, then I really do not know why you are here. I am no saint, but there is a line of what is right, and what is not."

She calms herself with several deep breaths, "For the mission. We go to Cato Neimoidia, find someone willing to tell us where Darga is holding up. That should be easy enough. Then, using some cover, we pose as some sort of business venture or traders to gain Darga's favor, while we snoop and get some information or he lets us in on what he might be up too."

She thinks a moment, "Just throwing an idea out there. Is it possible to pose as an advance team from the Empire to check on how things are going and be sure Darga is happy with the arrangements? And of course, being a little corrupt and wanting a little side action?"

Looks to varth, "Is it possible to get some Imperial credentials for that? Forged or not I suppose."

Looks to Mack, Sloor, and Darius, "What do you think?"

“Sure there is, Sra.” He clearly doesn’t believe a word of it... and actually has the temerity to *smile* that predatory smile of his while looking straight at her -- like he’s caught her with her pants down and she doesn’t know it yet.

“Well, cawnt me awt; the Empire dawsn’t like my kind apparently, sure as frek nawt in any awfficial capacity...” He raises a warning finger as the next thought occurs to him, “And I ain’t playing your pet either, Sra! Naw way.”

OOC: Not really, Binder_Fred, it's pretty much a military ship and not very heavy on luxuries.

OOC: What about examples of things to sell? I'm thinking military-grade gear here, like rockets, missiles, targeting suites, vehicule-mounted weaponry, etc. Doesn't have to be useable by ground troops like ourselves, just look pretty in a box. The idea would be to show one or two of each in their display case and say "We can get you more if the price is right". Is *that* doable?

 

[toasterferret]

Darius shakes his head at Mack's question. "Most of my talents are a bit more martial than that."

Hearing Mir chirp in he smiles and replies "It's good to see someone remembers what we stand... stood for." His eyes glaze over for a moment, before he regains his composure and nods at her suggestion

"Im content with whatever you think is best in this case."

Mack considers Mir's idea and shakes his head, "Don't think we can pull off the Impy impersonation. Our persuasive talker is Sloor and not very Imp-like. You weren't planning to voodoo whammy our way through, were you?"

"Sloor's much more believable as a dirty rotten scoundrel, I think. Definitely something a Hutt would understand. I am a bit surprised a Hutt is dealing with the Empire. I thought they did not get along so good."

"Getting this Dargo's attention is the difficult part. Criminals don't trust just anyone, but they respect good business, yeah? Maybe we need to find an enemy of his and obtain something Dargo could use, maybe only information would do it."

OOC: Ask it in-character.

OOC: Sure thing.

“Saw we have taw entice him with *something*, right? We’ll need a few chawice samples frawm ship’s stawres, I’m thinking, and a few getting-taw-knaw-you gifts wouldn’t hurt either...”

As neither Verana nor Varth seem to click, Sloor goes on: “I'm thinking military-grade gear here -- like rawckets, missiles, targeting suites, vehicule-mawnted weapanry, that sawrt awf thing. Dawsn't have to be useable by grawnd troops like awerselves, just look pretty in a bawx. We shaw awne awr taw awf each in their display case and say ‘We can get you sled-fulls mawre if the price is right; you interested?’... Is *that* dawable?”

"Sloor's much more believable as a dirty rotten scoundrel, I think. Definitely something a Hutt would understand."

(“Your acting talent *has* always amazed me in that regard,” quips TB in its owner’s earring canal. The besalisk just *grins* without looking back.)

"Getting this Dargo's attention is the difficult part. Criminals don't trust just anyone, but they respect good business, yeah? Maybe we need to find an enemy of his and obtain something Dargo could use, maybe only information would do it."

“Yeah, we need mawre infaw awn the spirk, that’s fawr sure,” agrees Sloor. “And we ain’t gawing taw get it here.” The besalisk pushes out of his seat, ready to go check that cargo list with Verana. "Maybe you cawld check awt what the spirk has been arrested fawr in the past, Mack man? Give us an idea what he's usually invawlved in? TB can help with the research if you want." He points TB to Mack's side and the droid smoothly complies.

OOC: If that idea flies, Sloor will select the best "show pieces" from ship's incentory with Verana while TB uses his new Use Computer skill to help Mack in whatever research that worthy wants to engage in.

Mir nods to the others, "Just an idea."

She considers Darga for a moment... (Galactic Lore: 1d20+8=13) and then shrugs as nothing comes to mind. "Would be nice to know what kind of product and such is of interest to this Darga? A full name might be helpful as well, that might make a nice first impression if greeted with such respect."

Mir nods to the others, "Just an idea."

Sloor snaps his fingers and points at the young human female: “Might want taw keep the imperial angle in mind, actually: if the rest fails we might just be able taw track Darga by these imp shipments that gaw in and awt awf his place!” He swivels towards Varth, “Dan't suppawse we have any idea haw awften they awccur, where the trade takes place awr when the next awne’s scheduled fawr, Varth man?”
