The trio of smugglers head straight for the kitchen where a wine rack and a number of bottles sit. Despite tossing the kitchen, there is no Chateau ’77. Never one to pass up an opportunity, Tam and Toth each grab a bottle and take long draws. Tam throws the bottle, watching it shatter against the wall, “Next room.”Their search eventually leads them to a final security door. Despite Toth and Rowintha’s best efforts they can’t override the controls. Tam, losing patience, is about ready to shoot the controls when Toth has a brilliant idea, “The Jawa!”A few moments later, Set is coerced out of the ship and through the house. He stands at the door, staring at it for a little while, then goes to work. Toth reaches in to assist, but is batted away by a hydrospanner to the knuckles. It doesn’t take long and the Jawa get the door to slide open.“My master says he expects a discount on his fare.”“Done.” Tam replies happy to be done with security doors.The inner sanctum of Faynor’s house is decorated with artwork from a variety of species and strange artifacts from Sith torture devices to a Jedi’s lightsaber. And in one corner is a wine rack and the other cowers Faynor.But something seems off to Tam, he hears voices. Hushed whispers coming from beneath him. Kicking back a carpet, he sees a hidden door.“Stop, you can’t open that.” Faynor shouts.“My Wookie says otherwise. Rowintha?” Tam replies gesturing to the door.“That Wookie belongs in chains!”Rowintha turns, rushing the vile looking Cerean. He evades her attempt to grab him.“Get your hands off me, beast!” Rowintha, not fooled twice, grabs the slaver as Tam opens the door. What he sees shocks and amazes him. Underneath Faynor’s chambers, slaves work cutting and processing Roon spice. A mournful Wookie howl drifts up.It’s too much for Rowintha to take. She goes into a rage and pulls on the slavers arms. Tam and Toth look away. When their stares return, the slaver is slumped in the corner, arms pulled from his sockets.Rowintha rushes down the stairs, tearing the shackles from the slaves. Tam and Toth lead the free slaves back to the Vagrant Heart. Xule is waiting for them at the ramp.“Oh my,” she stammers out.“Princess! These people need—“ Tam begins.“Send the worst of them to the infirmary.” Xule interrupts, “I’ll take care of them there. The rest will have to go to the cargo hold.”Tam is a bit taken aback, but smiles at the Princess. He catches Toth’s eye, they  still have work to do.</blockquote>
