[QUOTE="Mirth, post: 535202, member: 5242"] "I agree, Brasa," Oothar says as he ponders the Queen's warning. "We must not let this New Imperial Order gain those funds. It could be very bad for the Republic." "Ambassador, if I may, I have two suggestions," the Ithorian paces slowly in the small cabin as he talks, "One, we should try to contact, on a secure channel of course, any agents of the Republic that may be on the ground at Nal-Hutta. They can inform us if representatives of the New Empire have been in contact with the Hutts, and if not, then they can keep an eye out for any suspicious characters who try to." "Two, we should contact the Hutts themselves and push back the time of the meeting, claiming the engines need repair or some such," Oothar pauses to gauge the others' reactions. "Then, we see if our pilot can push this ship a bit harder and get us there before our [i]original[/i] arrival time, thereby catching the Hutts offguard. At which point, we use our diplomatic and observational skills to determine if everything is, in fact, on the up and up. If the New Empire has set up camp on Nal-Hutta, I don't want to walk into a trap." "If everyone is agreed, I will go and see what our good Captain is truly capable of," the Ithorian presses his palms together in front of him as he waits for a decision. [/QUOTE]
