Hunted: Enemies of the Empire

Horst shrugs, "Let's just say in my line of work, you get to like quiet places where folks aren't trying to kill you. This seemed abandoned, I tell you. But it worked out, didn't it? I didn't have too much in way of prospects left to me where I was, and now, now, I'm here! On the path to excitement, wealth and adventure. I'd say my luck's turning out pretty good, eh? And what about you? What brings you to this ship? Seems like this Zin character's assembled quite a party. What's your angle in it?"

Trangle (Male Ithorian Jedi); HP 30/30 (12)

Trangle smiles at how happenstance seems to run rampant across the Zabrak's life.

"This is what I was trained to do. My mentor worked for Zin and was ... released to the Force a little more than a 2 weeks ago by Imperial Hunters. I am following in her foot steps in assisting the Renegades in their work. Bata is our first "job" which hasn't turned out too bad.

What exactly is your line of work? Zin has need of people of all sorts of skills and abilities.
"

The Ithorian fidgets a little at the mention of his mentor but stops towards the end of his thoughts.
 

"Well, when I had my ship, I was a smuggler. One of the best. Until I hit a run of bad luck. Well, run seems like too small a word. It was a marathon of horrible stinking bantha poodoo luck. So I lost my ship, lost my girl, lost a lot of creds and ended up in debt to a Rodian named Twisk. His boys were why I ended up in your ship. But, you know, that's the way it works. So now, I figure, I'll find me a new ship, get the runs on again and get out of debt."
 

After a long week of travel, you finally come up on the Denouva system, a densely populated system in the Middle Rim. Meridian City on Denouva II is where we need to dock. Bata says, inputing some codes into the comm station. Use these identification codes and we'll avoid suspicion.

A few hours later, you land safely in Meridian City. It is a glorious metropolitan center of blue sky-scrapers that appear made of solid glass. In the distance they appear as a colony of sea crystals shimmering against the sky. The climate here is temperate and cool, although you understand it rains much of the year. The place is very urban, but stratified. Aliens dwell in the lower parts of the city and slums while humans live in the massive blue towers, using lifts and hover vehicles to travel between them, rarely ever stepping on solid ground.

We should be able to find Mithos at the Emporium of Business, Bata explains as you prepare to disembark, Be on your guard. Non-humans are not treated particularly well here, but we should be well enough off as long as we don't attract any Imperial attention. Do any of you wish to make special preparations before we go to meet him?
 

"What are the weapon conventions here? Will rifles be too obvious, and attract unwanted attention? How about how the people dress? Can we non-humans get some cloaks with hoods to provide a bit of a disguise or are cloaks not worn here?" Nyub asks.
 

I recommend you take along nothing larger than a blaster pistol and that you conceal it beneath a cloak at the least. I say this primarily in the interest of maintaining a low profile. Non-humans walking around Meridian City with rifles in hand would peg us as gangsters at best, felons at worst. Hooded cloaks would probably be a good idea as well.
 

Horst grimaces at the mention of non-human prejudice. Sighing, he shoves his light pistol into his waistband at the small of his back and covers it with his cloak. He moves around a bit, adjusting till it looks natural.
 

Nyub nods at Bata's suggestions, having expected the advice but wanting to be sure. He grabs his cloak and pulls the hood up. Nyub keeps his blaster pistol and ion pistol with him, adjusting the holsters so they ride at waist level, in his lower back. He will consciously try and keep them covered up with his cloak, and not let any tell-tale bulges show.

ooc: Nyub will use his stealth skill to conceal both pistols.

Trangle starts to feel rather nervous seeming as he is both a Jedi and a Non-human. He pulls his cloak to shadow his face even though his distinctly non-human frame will most likely give him away. He looks about and see that others are a little more adept at it than he.

"Would someone mind helping me to hide my lightsaber and make it easy to draw?"
 

Nyub offers Trangle some pointers on concealing an item. Given how small a lightsaber is, it shouldn't be too difficult to hide.
