The Taris Event Chapter 3

Post by **Blackferne** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 6:27 pm

As So Leet walks into the Banking Clan office he is greeted by an attendant. She asks politely what she can assist him with. So Leet then informs her of the notification he received. She takes him to a private office where another woman walks in and takes a seat behind the desk.

"If you'll give me a moment to familiarize myself with the situation, I'll better be able to explain what is going on." She says in a raspy voice as she skims the file up on her data screen. "Ah yes. It seems your uncle Too Leet recently passed from a prolonged illness. As your mother is deceased and Mr. Leet had no children or wives of his own, the matter of his estate falls to you. Now as is customary in these kind of things, we prefer to liquidate any assets and pay out as we can, but your Uncle apparently had some rather, shall I say, unique investment strategies which will take some time to untangle. As we work through the probate we will be paying additional sums of money, but at this time we have opened an account in your name with a initial sum of 5,000 credits. Is there anything we can assist you with in regards to this money sir?"

"A shuttle accident? When did this happen? How...?"

Dood is having a harder time keeping himself in-check.
Borssk in a full outright sob says "He was travelling from his apartment on Coruscant to the senate chamber when another shuttle rammed into his shuttle sending them both crashing to the ground. The safety protocols apparently didn't fire in Father's shuttle." He makes some unintelligible sounds while snot and tears pour down his face. "It was just so unexpected!" Your brother never misses a moment to state the obvious, but per usual doesn't even realize he has done so.

Dood inhales deeply to keep his composure. His fur is wrinkled at his forehead and he is sitting ramrod straight, hands still gripping the chair. He is shaken and simultaneously exasperated with his brother's lack of control.

"Unexpected..." another breath "Compose yourself, Borssk. Tell me, when is the funeral and is it on Bothawui or on Coruscant? I'll make arrangements to be there...somehow. I'm assuming that Ps'sat and the other clan leaders will be there as well."

"You are right. Dignity and honor." He says composing himself holding back the tears as best he can(which isn't very well) "The Funeral is to take place on Bothawui like father would have wanted. The clans will be in attendance, and they were waiting to hear from you to schedule a date. The clan heads would prefer sooner rather than later. Father's body was packed up yesterday on a transport and is en route back to Bothawui as we speak." He starts sobbing again.

"Thank you for your assistance in this matter. As for the time being I would just like to establish a standard savings and debit accounts with a galaxy wide credit stick for usage as needed. I'd also like to deposit my current credit balance into the accounts. Also I'd like to discuss potentially establishing a line of credit against the remaining estate. As well as some report concerning his investments. "

@ So Leet

"We'd be more than happy to expand your account to include your current monetary holdings, and we will provide you with a debit card against those balances. We are in the process of establishing a report of his assets and liabilities, but you understand that will take some time. Unfortunately until such time that we properly evaluate and test versus market prices the value of your Uncle's investments, we will not be extending credit against those assets. Like I mentioned, your Uncle had rather unique investment strategies which make proper pricing of the assets more difficult than a standard stock option or real estate parcel. We have some of our best minds trying to figure out the way to maximize their value, but given the nature of the investments, we simply cannot allow that kind of risk at this time." She says with a regretful smile.

"I completely understand. I'm sure that once the investments have been hashed out we can come to an agreement on the business I would like to do with the bank. I'm currently working as the Chief Technical Officer for a start up acquisitions company. So my main hope was to be able to have enough established for incidentals thinking: star destroyers, probe droids, assassin droids, ion cannons.... but it's something we can revisit down the line.

Thank you for your time. If I could just have a receipt of my current account balance.

"I show your balance with the money you just deposited at 7411" Here is your debit card. She slides the card across the table.

Jax and Slick go to the hangar, requisition an S-100 and head to Mos Eisley. {Roll the bones for me?}

Eli will send a text message to everyone that reads:

The Council is sending us a replacement apparently, unknown ETA to Tat, and he had some interesting but non-vital information on our "friends" with glowsticks from Lok. Will share over dinner tonight.

"We're here 10 minutes and already half the crew is out on their own...so much for sticking to plans or sticking together for that matter" Syric says to no one in particular.

Dood sighs and clears his throat.

"I will make arrangements to come home. I will contact you soon, Borssk."

Dood pauses, about to click off the transmission and then asks, "I suppose Mother will be there."

Eli heads back to the Sweet D (assuming I had ot leave to get my message and make the call) and I'll start looking for Cuspar so we can get our part of the plan in motion.

I'm pretty sure that I'm in the cockpit for this. I thought that's what I said I did.

I thought So Leet had rigged the Comms in the ship to tap into local Holonet connections and with it it can relay calls like Dood just had. It however cannot do it if not in a port, and definitely not from space. As I am understanding it the only people not on the ship at the moment are Jax and So Leet. One is flying from Coruscant and the other is being denied a credit extension on unique and quirky investments.

Syric decides to tone down the drinking now that they have landed.

That's what I thought but the wording confused me. When you said the notification of holonet messages waiting for them at the nearest terminal, I wasn't thinking about terminals on the ship. And when Dood went off to find privacy and Eli sent a text to everyone, it just reinforced that thought.

When Eli gets back, to the whole team...

Alright, I know Eli and I are on Team Tsont'Ar. Who else thinks they should come with us? I'd suggest that So Leet and Fandango can meet with him LATER. I don't want to play our droid card all the way until we're sure he can help us.

"I'm shy around new people, so I would prefer not to meet anyone right away." Fandango says flatly. "Anyways I was under the impression I was to stay on the ship for now." He pauses "If the prospect of us encountering some kind of adversary who is not a droid is probable, I will need to acquire some non-ion weapons. Is anyone capable of purchasing one blaster carbine and two heavy blaster pistols. I have 2400 credits I can allocate to this purchase if someone is willing to go to the shop to pick them up for me. I find most shop keepers are leery of selling to droids who lack a master."

"I think Fandango stays our little secret and So Leet comes with now. I can give first hand account of how they react within their specifications and So Leet can give the technical details he gathered from the one he worked on and the other work and study he did with Fandango.

I'm going to be blunt Cuspar, telling Tsont'Ar about Fandango would probably be incredibly detrimental to both us and him. He hasn't fought along side him and I doubt he has the faith to believe that Jounville could have talked a Sith battle droid into changing sides as he apparently has done. Especially one as advanced as he is, if Tsont'Ar was aware of him then I expect he would most likely make attempts to "acquire" him for the Republic to disassemble and study. And while Bulwark could possibly be in favor of that, I don't think the rest of us would like to see that occur. I don't think we need to disguise the fact that it is with us, however I think his true nature should remain a mystery. Which also likely precludes him from accompanying us in Tsont'Ar's presence. Agreed?"

It wants more weapons? There is a reason the core worlds don't sell guns to droids. I think Fandango is well enoughed armed as it is.
It would also be unwise to leave this rogue droid unmonitored while most of us are away.

"Would you like to stay with me and play a game of holo-chess?" Fanagao asks Bulwark tilting his head playfully. "We so rarely spend quality time together."

I'm amenable to So coming with us - although I think it might strategically be better to TELL Tsont'Ar about the droids and that our computer experts are analyzing them. I don't want to give away too much to Tsont'Ar yet. As I said, information is his currency, and we're holding a lot of it - better to maximize our return on that cuurency.

Post by **Bulwark** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:26 pm

Bulwark turns to the droid, addressing it directly, "Id prefer to add a restraining bolt to make this all a moot point."

Post by **Blackferne** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:28 pm

Ro'Talth looks at Syric and Bulwark "You two want to come with me? I think if we hit up a spot I know we might find one of those contractors I was talking about. Ra'Wen here is some money, go buy yourself something nice. And Walter here is some money. I'm sorry for all this trouble. Get s a ticket and head home. If anyone asks we died. I'll send a care package later."
