Message: <blockquote data-quote="Diesel" data-source="post: 4232809" data-attributes="member: 65114">[sblock=Rain] Reaching out with the Force, you become aware of another in the bay, hidden from your line of sight by the large crates to your left near Switch's desk. In your mind's eye you visualize a droid-gaunt and relatively short, and armed with a blaster . It  is standing perfectly still but is definitely powered on.Otherwise you see and hear nothing.[/sblock]Switch listens calmly, lifting a glass to his face. He lets it linger there, as if smelling the liquid. When you have finished speaking, he carefully places the glass down."It is most pleasant to meet such well mannered beings." he says in a friendly tone as he considers the decanter. "Corellian wine," he says contentedly,"almost a century old. I am glad you enjoy it."Studying you each for a moment, he places his arms on the desk, and with a touch of a button reveals a computer screen inset into the desk."Before we begin, I would like to preface my remarks by stating that I am not-no pun intended- a cold hearted creature. However, my occupation does entail certain risks, and my information is valuable and cannot be, I would hope you understand, given freely."The droid leans forward. "Now then, I would most happily, for a finders fee, dispatch a doctor for Maya. It is most distressful that she is damaged. Luckily, the finest physician at Delgas Medical owes me a favor. Doctor Fenn is the soul of discretion, and possesses a healthy distrust of authority, so Maya shall be in good hands. Simply let R5 know of Maya's location and he shall dispatch the doctor to her post-haste."Steepling his fingers before him, he continues," As to the cargo, it is not located here. It is in a safe location, I assure you. However,recent events involving Maya, and I assume from the vague Holonet descriptions, yourselves, on the Promenade have increased my liability in this affair should anything untoward occur. By my calculations there is a 20.6 percent increase in the probability that my other dealings on Sel Zonn could be negatively impacted. I must have an indemnity against such an unfortunate result.""Therefore," Switch says, his voice almost mournful, " I shall require a payment of 1,000 credits. For this eminently reasonable sum you may retrieve and take the cargo anywhere you will.I believe Maya,and Alderaan Security have already made arrangements regarding transport.""As to the nature of the cargo, that information is, shall we say, at a premium." Switch sighs."I hope this does not distress you too greatly. I do enjoy dealing with such pleasant lifeforms as yourselves, but sadly the amount of  the payment is non negotiable."Switch places his hand to his chin in an almost exaggerated gesture of thinking, "However, I would accept payment in kind if you have any items you wish to part with. Furthermore, given your prowess on the Promenade, and quite obvious bravado, I would be willing to offer any or all of you work-future employment of a quite simple nature to reduce my fee. You might even find such work enjoyable, assuming you leave this station alive "</blockquote>
