The Taris Event Chapter 2

[Blackferne]

T3, it looks like the Avalon hasn't landed here or at least under that name. Before we head over to the other ship could you do a search for ships of the same class that have landed here in the last month?

Wailer will wait until T3 finishes his search before heading over to the other ship.

Slick can't find any ships in the same class landing here for the last month. He notes there is currently 22 days of fuel and 53 units of rations (1 ration unit = 1 day) and wants to know if he should order more.

@ Syric, Cuspar, Dood and Klak

As Syric and Cuspar enter the station on Stellaluna they find out that they should go to Magistrate Room 17 where Dood and Klak are about to talk to the magistrate. Walking into that room you see Dood and Klak sitting awaiting to talk to the magistrate who is currently processing another violation. You can go up and talk to them (quietly) if you like. Dood and Klak have no comms, not weapons.

[Cuspar]

@Dood and Klak, quietly
Play along. Let us talk first We got this.

Cuspar and Syric have clearly rehearsed. As they are called forward, Cuspar takes Dood by the hand, and Syric does the same with Klak. Once at the bench, like the parent of a messy faced child, Cuspar spits on a tissue and wipes chunks of what appears to be cheese from Dood's face. He hushes Dood as he objects and says Now, now. We have to look our best and be polite for the magistrate.

As the magistrate looks quizzically at the group, Cuspar speaks up, heavily playing up a high galactic accent.

Your honor, I am Cuspar Inirv'E, representing Fossar Shipping and Aderbrent Enterprises. I would request to speak on behalf of my crewmen. I hope you will allow me to offer some small explanation for their behavior, although it will certainly be no justification.

[Blackferne]

@ Cuspar and the orphans of Alvis

"Mr. Inirv'E, I'd like to run things the way I am accustomed to by the manner of law."

She looks at the datapad in front of her.

"Mr. Dood Amm'nel and Mr. Klak Reen, you are both charged with counts of creating a public disturbance, public intoxication, and Mr. Reen you are charged with one count of interference with the administration of justice by a public official. All occurring last night at the Shady Tree Bistro and Bar located in our fine theater district. I assume your employer here Mr. Inirv'E here is your legal representation, so how do your clients plead?"

[Cuspar]

Milady, my clients plead not guilty, on grounds of mental infirmity. I beg you allow me to explain.

[Blackferne]

She looks at you something like this:



"Oh this had better be good."

[Cuspar]

Thank you, Your Honor. Let me give you the context of what brings us to Bryx. Aderbrent Services is a shipping company, and is proud to be... Ahem... An "equal opportunity" employer. Mr. Amm'Nell's father, Senator Amm'Nell asked a favor of our company. That is, to allow his son the opportunity to have his first job. You see, Magistrate, Amm'Nell the younger suffers from what is referred to on my homeworld as "swims backwards with one fin" syndrome. Mr. Reen was a similar hire. He suffered a terrible brain injury on Ord Mantell in the service of the Galactic Army. These men were hired as sanitation workers for the dewback herd we shipped. So thrilled were they at their task and at their pay, that they wandered away from my colleague, Mr. Frost, who is our social responsibility liaison. They were to have attended the theater with us, but snuck away before the show began to the bar. Mr. Frost had to search for them alone - as I had business with Mr. Ro'Talth during the intermission. The dullards found drink, and given their... decreased capacities for higher thought, this unfortunate incident does not surprise me. But you see, they certainly do not have the mens rea.

[Blackferne]

"Mr. Inirv'E, you are a business man, and not a man of the law is that correct?"

Cuspar nods.

"Well in order for someone to be able to use insufficient mental capacity as a defense against a criminal defense, that condition needs to be rather severe. And it would need to be verified by clinical doctors using a variety of state mandated tests. This is usually at the defendants expense. The offenses, save Mr. Reens count of interference with the administration of justice by a public official, are minor ones which usually are resolved with a fine of 250cr per offense. Given that I am wondering if you would like to change the plea to no contest to all charges, pay the 1000cr for the pair here, and we will dismiss Mr. Reen's incident involving quote 'repeated episodes of vomit on the officers shoes'."

[Blackferne]

And please roll a deception roll Cuspar.

[Cuspar]

We will be happy to plead no contest, pay the fine, and appreciate your comments. Perhaps we will have the men assessed for their mental capacity by our ships physician, Dr. Elisfists.

Cuspar bows, pats Dood on the head, and leads the group out of the chamber.
You're welcome. And you owe Aderbrent 1000 credits. And stay away from Eli, if you like your teeth. Syric and I couldn't leave our Alvian brothers in the brig.

[Cuspar]

And please roll a deception roll Cuspar.

Weird. I did and edited my post but it didn't post for some reason. I was psyched because I rolled a 15+7=22

"One final note Mr. Inirv'E, if they are in fact mental deficient, you should be aware that they were found with weapons. You may want to confiscate them for your own safety."

The fine is paid (I deducted out of the company's total money. Klak and Dood let me know when you replenish from that fund. Your material possessions are returned.

Jan 23 10:30am.

[Whiteness]

"All right, time for a quick drink! We'll make a quick stop and head back to the ship, what do you say?"

[Gandolfini]

Slick can't find any ships in the same class landing here for the last month. He notes there is currently 22 days of fuel and 53 units of rations (1 ration unit = 1 day) and wants to know if he should order more.

Good call Slick. Order 18 days of fuel and 17 food units.

After that we need to set up a call to Master Jada. Perhaps she has a lead on the Avalon. Let me know when you have the Holonet connection.

Supplies added at a total cost of 1070cr. Your current balance is 3099. Thw PW has 40 days of fuel and 70 units of rations.

Slick informs you the supplies will arrive within the hour and he'll take care of the transaction. He also informs you that the ships comms are hooked into the holonet connecting to Master Jana.

"Greetings Padawan, I see you got to Bryx quicker than you anticipated. The Force must truly be with you."

[Gandolfini]

"Greetings Padawan, I see you got to Bryx quicker than you anticipated. The Force must truly be with you."

If da Force was missa droid thesa yeah. It does no appearin da da avalon has been to Bryx. Has yousa found any information onda ship? Should missa proce to Kril Dor to search for it?

"Unfortunately no. I have not been able to find out any more information on the Avalon either. It is like it has vanished. We see that it jumped into hyperspace near the Lok beacon, but we haven't seen it show up on any other major hyperspace beacons for dropping out of hyperspace. We have begun a search of minor beacons. Saltori Merchant Services is based off of Bryx. You might want to check them out for information regarding the captain. Maybe he wa shired out, or has split from the company without their knowledge. Proceed carefully though Padawan. I sense something dark approaches Bryx. I can't see what, but it would best to be careful. If you get any clues, or Arillius' bunch of drunks finds anything. Let me know. Oh, not to overload you with too much, but since you are in Exchange territory, should you hear anything regarding Finance Minister Dershan Portailles contact me immediately. There is a threat to his life, but the information is very sketchy at this point. And do not share that with anyone outside the Jedi Order. Any other support you need on your travels? Are you okay on provisions and credits?"

[Dood]

What is your record of our financial status? I want to be sure my numbers are accurate.

"Stop by the local Banking Clan outlet and I'll make sure a deposit is there for your retrieval. Give me an hour for that."

Dood transfers 1000cr from his personal funds to the company.

Yes Master. Wailer out

[Gandolfini]

Slick, can you find a aircar service, rent a car for the day and have them pick us up at the port terminal entrance?

15 minutes later for a cost of 50cr/day you rent a land speeder.
