Old Friends [D3EE, The Cave]

[Jarvis]

"On me, nothing. Get me a list and I'll do what I can to get it. Might take a few days for me to get it. Should keep yourself busy in the meantime with the scouting."

His face turns yet again at the Chiss, confused as to how she could tell the difference in their eyes; it was all just red. "Well, can't say they aren't good for nothing. Should head to Kamda sometime, we had quite a gathering there last year. But, yes, this is very much as simple as a holovid. Anyways, I've been told that our employer is making arrangements for a exit strategy for you all, so don't need to worry about making a break for it. If things go right, they won't even realize he's gone before you already left."

"Can't make any promises about something really complex for this, but I have a few people who owe me favors. Just think about it and let me know as soon as you can."

He looks at Jyv and back to their local expert on the matter. "Do you know?"

((Roll me a Streetwise at Average difficulty, Local Expert))

[Sholua Tempes]

"Well . . . "

You know that they can keep people alive for weeks. They actually seem to comprehend maintaining prisoners, though they are not above killing them, either. As to what they eventually do, you're not really sure, but it's safe to assume the worst about their prisoners.

[Sholua Tempes]

". . . not sure about slavers, but those Gonks have kept prisoners before, and as long as Mr Chiss Doctor behaves, we should have a shot at getting him out."

She leaned even closer to Manny.

"Just got find him first. Their territory isn't small."

[Nara Phln]

“I hope they are slavers. Killing most people? Bad. Killing slavers? Good. It’s a simple moral code to live by.”
Then she huffs because it’s a stealth op

“Sounds like we can either go in and do some physical recon or you local folk can use your contacts or whatever. Honestly I’d really also like to know why they set Identify as ‘gonks’. “

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Time is always a concern with hostages." Jyrvess rubbed her chin, "But if there is little danger of shipping them offworld...he was searching for medical supplies. Is he just a scrounger or an actual trained medic. I can't imagine a gang having many trained medics, but having plenty of need."

She looks at the 'local expert', "They have any rivals we can exploit? If needed."
Translation: Jyrvess wants someone she doesn't care about to get shot instead of someone she does. Status of present company unknown on that front.

[Flession]

You're not really sure, Sholua. Likely are some people don't really like them. Have already heard some stories about a Mandalorian with a personal grudge against them or something.

[Jarvis]

"Well, looks like you got yourselves a idea on what to do. That sounds like a good start. Get them good and distracted and sneak in while you do it. It's a pretty solid idea. As for the location, well, if it were me holding someone prisoner--not that I would have any sort of experience with such a thing, of course. But if it were me, starting at whatever these things call a home base would be a good place to keep a prisoner. That way, I'd be in control of the situation."

[Sholua Tempes]

"Deep into the Gonklands then. It's dark in the lower city, make sure to have vision enhancements."

Remaining draped over the magician she turned her head to Jyr.

"Nobody likes them but then again no one goes out of their way to hate on them much. That may be changing as there's word of a tinhead causing trouble for them, but we're likely to be done before that comes to a head."

[Manny Donos]

"Okay, sounds great!" Manny said brightly. "We go down tomorrow, see what we can find. Discreetly. I can do discreet." The fact that he felt he had to say that was possibly not very reassuring.

"Everyone have goggles?" Manny looked around. "Otherwise, Jarvis, we could probably use a few pairs of those. I've got some... for now." He frowned. "This is like my third pair. People keep stealing them!"

[Sholua Tempes]

Sholua nodded at the question about goggles.

"Some . . . quiet weaponry might be useful as well. Make too much noise down there and more Gonks are sure to come."

[Jarvis]

"That sounds simple enough. Send me a list and I'll head off to Freeport tomorrow and see what I can scrounge up."

[Nara Phln]

"Pffft. Imagine not just being able to see in the dark. Plus these eyes look rad as anything when you come out behind some dude in the black. Put me down for weapon suppressors and maybe sneaky stuff?"
Nara refused to elaborate on what the sneaky stuff was, but she silently hoped for comically padded shoes

[Manny Donos]

"Yeah, better throw in an extra order of sneaky stuff." Manny nodded agreement.

He also didn't know what it was.

[Sholua Tempes]

"Do we have a slicer here? Gonks aren't exactly known for being that tech savvy, but we might need one."

She looked around before settling on the Chiss.

"Or we can just have Nara blow the kriff out of any computer we need to get past."

[Nara Phln]

"Do we have a slicer here? Gonks aren't exactly known for being that tech savvy, but we might need one."

She looked around before settling on the Chiss.

"Or we can just have Nara blow the kriff out of any computer we need to get past."

"Yeah, you get it!"
Hi-five!

"Why slice with a computer when you can slice with a vibro-axe?"

[Sholua Tempes]

The high five is returned.

"The Gonks are a pain. Cutting them back a bit is good for everyone on this rock."

[Jarvis]

"Well, good to know. Sounds like you all have a handle on it." He says, standing up. "Though, miss librarian, could I have a moment of your time in private?" Jarvis nods his head and smiles at her with a big smile. "Just wanted to check on some of my own overdue books."
