The door opens and a Neimoidian wearing typical food delivery clothes enters the room. He sees the droid with his blasters raised and he slowly backs into a corner, stammering. He looks towards the door and motions for somebody to shut it.
 



Leave you alone for five minutes......

Caine walks in, having returned from scouting out the local gambling establishments, takes a second to take in the scene, and closes the door, speaking blithely "You will have to excuse the cautiousness of my compatriots here, I left them with strict instructions to be on their guard against loose women and con men. It seems they took the instructions to heart a bit too briskly. Put down your blasters, lads, this is no loose woman and how can we know if he's a con man if we don't take the time to hear his pitch?"

Caine moves gracefully to within five feet of the Namoidian, his hands raised in the universal non-threatening gesture, and continues in a nonthreatening tone, "Now, what can we do for you?"
 

The Neimoidian looks at his rescuer and very slowly hands a carton of food to Caine. He sets the rest down beside himself. He speaks slowly as well, mainly out of fear.

"Take the food! No charge, just please let me be! I'd be careful next time you rob a deliveryman, you never know who they're contacts are!"

He seems to put emphasis on the word contacts.
 

Dan is trying his best to look like he doesn't know these people. Considering the situation, he fails miserably.
 

"No one is hear to steal from you. Someone stole from us so we just want ot make sure the teif has not returned. You speak of contacts, we are weary travelers so we do not know anyone. However, you are a local...correct? Therefore please let us know who would be safe nice contacts to know?"
 

The Neimoidian looks at his interrogator and on his last question, he quickly points a finger to himself. He then motions for everyone to be quiet.

"Keep the food, no charge. Just let me go and I won't alert the authorities."

If Caine did not take the carton of food offered, the Neimoidian slowly reaches into the carton and pulls out a datapad wrapped in some kind of protective covering.
