Their alien mindset is confusing at first, but you soon feel at ease with them. You almost feel as calm as they do. Then you realize you are absorbing their feelings into your own. Quickly disconnecting, you simply gather that they are following orders, no more, no less. The calmness is odd though, almost inorganic. The procession ends when a large set of double doors slide open. Slowly, the room is revealed to be lavishly decorated, the centerpiece being the dais upon which a great greenish grey slug sits. You aren't certain, but his eyes seem glazed over and it seems he is smiling. He allows you a moment to take in the rest of the room. You see leading down from the dais two sloping walkways, upon which are situated many couches and divans. Seated upon these are aliens of various types and humans, all seeming to be lost in thought or simply enjoying the company and light conversation. The only thing that looks out of place are yourselves and the two Wookiees standing on either side of the Hutt. You also notice (Meaning some of you made a Spot check) that some of the beings in here are holding a tube of some kind that leads into the center of the floor. One of those beings is Dofina, seated near the dais on one of the couches. The Hutt finally speaks and the blue droid translates for those of you that don't speak Huttese. "Greetings. I am Torrba the Hutt, or as some of you may know me, Torrba the Serene. It seems that I have come to a quandary. Dofina here, your matron, has informed me that you managed to escape a Republic assault force. He pauses, a grumbling sound coming from inside him. "Pardon me, you escaped an Imperial assault force. Not only that, you also managed to escape a Sith woman. This, as far as I am concerned, is a nearly impossible feat. Combined with escaping the Imperial clones, this makes me quite impressed. This doesn't happen often." Another rumbling. "My quandary is what to do with you. I could let you leave, but you know the building and some of my operations here. Individuals as you are, this information can easily be bought from factionless people like yourselves. I can not allow that. I could also have you work for me. However, since you are individuals and even Dofina has said she doesn't know some of you that well, I can't trust you. Nobody works for me that I can't trust.' This last statement is said with a finality that the droid mimics perfectly. "Or I simply have you killed. I hate killing people. I really do. It leaves such a mess and my customers," his flabby arm flourishes the room, "would become rather upset. Therefore, I leave it up to you. I will allow you to convince me of my next course of action. Provided it pleases me, you'll live. If not, well, I'll give you a choice of being alive or dead when I feed you to Rortak."</blockquote>
