Large crates litter the area, creating the appearance of a haphazard mess, and the air has a distinct smell of sweat and fumes that makes the entire area unpleasant. Flickering lights provide modest illumination, and a burst pipe along the ceiling leaks blue fluid down one wall. Apart from the crates, the room appears quite empty.Near the center of the room is an item that seems very out of place—a large, finely crafted desk made of Japor ivory wood, which means that the desk is both priceless and rare. Sitting peacefully behind the desk is a protocol droid with shiny, ebony coverings that seem to soak up light and offer only the slightest reflection. The droid's eyes flicker slightly, as though imitating a person blinking rapidly.The astromech zooms to the desk, beeping."Welcome," the  protocol droid says without rising." I assume by your presence that you know who I am, for few come to this humble place save those in need of my services." The droid's accent is male and his dialect is perfect Coruscanti-Imperial. If he were human, he could easily be taken for a Brentaal noble."My esteemed R5 unit informs me you are here on behalf of Maya, wishing to inquire about the cargo." The droid's tone is friendly but indifferent. "Maya, obviously, is not among your number. It is my hope that nothing is amiss. Further, I do not believe I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance. You, see, with all that unpleasantness on the Promenade, I am understandably curious." "I would offer all of you seats, but we must make allowances for our surroundings. However, not everything needs to be uncivilized." Switch produces a decanter filled with a crimson liquid and several delicate glasses from the desk. With surprising grace he begins filling the glasses as he awaits your response.</blockquote>
