"At 300 big in da hole, I expect ya would," Shyar commented. "Let's go."
On the way, she pulled closer to Zavi and asked in hushed tones, "How do ya want ta play dis? Close da account, or take da insurance money too? I wish we had mister Jhrris out here, I bet he could do insurance fraud."I am not crazy! I prefer "reality impaired".

"Ooh, right in the ego. 'Jhriss could do it' indeed. Depends if they make a droid do the claim assessment or not. I can commit insurance fraud easily if I can get face-to-face with a person. Worth a try, if we've nothing more urgent to do. I take it the others aren't ready to meet up yet?"

Jas leads the group to a familiar residential neighborhood. It is now very dark and the streets are mostly deserted. You realize this is where Quest had brought you to recover your weapons.
“That’s his house,” Jas said, pointing out the property in question from about 300 feet away. The lights are all off.Last edited by Thundercracker; 2019-07-21 at 11:56 PM.

"You can pass through walls, right?" Gial asked Kikari. "We really only have two options here. We let them take the pearl and then follow, or you run in there and snatch it. I'm not sure which is the most dangerous, and I can't force you anyway. But you have to decide quickly."

“I don’t want any part of this anymore,” Sarangi said, “there was only one other smuggling job he asked me to do, to Muiridon, but they got picked up by the GT patrols and arrested.” If you let him, he retrieves a few items from inside, and passes you an address and a journal with a list of past bounties.
“The vault is there, and that’s a list of bounties I registered for him,”. he said, “that’s all I know, really.”TC for short

Kikari reaches out with her feelings, probing, searching for the beacons of light or darkness, presences strong in the Force. She focuses on the area where the function rooms are, but isn’t able to sense anything out of the ordinary. Either nobody in the room is strong in the Force, or they’re hiding their presences.TC for short

Re: Episode II: The Gathering Storm IC Thread 3
In the meantime, Gial quickly erased the text on Anfopor's commlink and then made a last attempt at searching for the hotel's planimetry - it was possible he could follow the buyers with the cameras, but without a map trying to get ahead of them to lay an ambush would be pretty difficult.

Gial is indeed able to download floor maps of the hotel from the fire escape plan. As near as he can tell, above the three function rooms are guest rooms and possibly part of a hallway.
The meeting is about to wrap up soon, and the two parties are probably going to leave in different directions.TC for short

Gial searched the floor map for alternative routes that lead from the function rooms to the outside without passing through the lobby.

Gial does indeed find an exit that doesn’t pass through the lobby. There are a pair of lifts that descend from a hallway adjoining the function rooms all the way down to street level.

Satisfied nobody would loot the vault while they slept, Shyar nodded. "Good night, mister Sarangi." And she turned on her heel and walked off the porch.
"It's been a long day for all of us. Go home, get some sleep, be at da laundromat at nine. Tomorrow, we start fresh."
Once alone, she turned to Zavi and smiled. "Dibs on first shower."
Sure enough, once back on the ship, Shyar lost no time hitting up the refresher. After scrubbing away the soot and grime, she placed a call to Lusk to tell him the good news.I am not crazy! I prefer "reality impaired".

"Jenos is dead, and we're in control of Zoccom now. Unfortunately, he doesn't keep good records, and we killed his 2nd in command too, so we may have lost a bit. It seems most of his operation were local to Zoccom.

“Good job,” Lusk said, “don’t worry about rebuilding, as long as we have a decent person in charge we’ll make sure they’re successful. Have anyone in mind?”
“That’s not good,” he said, tentacles waving, “we already purged the files. If the GT’s still looking it means someone’s taken a personal interest in you. We could get you a mask and a medical certificate, but you wouldn’t be able to take it off most of the time. Other than that, how do you feel about facial reconstruction surgery?”TC for short

"Two of Jenos' boys saw the way the winds were blowing and changed sides. Humans. One's nothing more than a blunt instrument, but he is pretty good at it. The other's a little green to be running a planet on his own, but give him some tutoring... I say he has potential."
At the mention of surgery, Shyar looked away from the holo and stared at her reflection in the glass underneath, tracing a cheekbone with her finger. "I guess I'm not too attached to this face.

Re: Episode II: The Gathering Storm IC Thread 3
Hmm. Ok, we can do this.
Gial typed a few commands to spoof the cameras that could catch them on the way to the lifts, as well as those inside the lifts themselves if there were any. "Hurry." he then said to Kikari, getting up from the couch. "We have to get to the lifts before they do. Keep tabs on the buyers." he added, terminating the call with Anfopor's commlink.
