Aryan quickly curses under his breath. He knows the people will not be happy about moving, let alone having to foot the bill.

He looks at the others. "Wesa should be able to get the transports quickly.  If yousa have any extra credits that can be used for them woulds be apreciated."

Crado snorts in derision at Aryan's request for credits.  "Oh suuuure.  I just go to bank and withdraw credits.  Or you prefer gold in basement?"

Raana ignores her counterparts and holds her hands out.  "We have no money.  We can't exactly work normal jobs so what little we can make or are given goes to the meagre supplies we use to feed our families.  What little we had went with Heigren on his supply run.  He has a gift for making merchants sell below retail.  I'm afraid we can't help."

PM

Aryan nods, fully aware and sympathetic to their suituation (Again ignoring Crado's comments)

"Wesa will work this out....don'ts worry."

Aryan walks to the corner and talks to shelia in the comm. "Wesa on our own for credit...theysa got what's on their backs and little else."

"it's ok, I have just enough, with what we have and what we/i now owe ten.  I'm just gonna stiff them for days beyond the first, if we have to, or maybe I can actually return the thing and get the deposit back."  There's not alot of belief in the latter idea, she suspects they'll never see that money again un;ess everything goes perfectly.  But she can keep her hopes up.

The gungan can't help but crack a wry smile.  he knew all too well, the lieklyhood of reimbursement was small, and he thought to himself that if he could help shelia, he would.

"Do's it, and get it here quick.  wesa don't know when the attack will happen, the sooner it's here, the more time wesa have to move the sick and injured."

When more time passed and nothing was said Raana stood.  "If you really do mean to bring this speeder I shall spread the word for people to prepare.  At the worst it's only an hour or so now until our own speeder returns.  Crado, could you see to the security arrangements."

The Cathar nodded, threw a look Aryan's way that was accompanied by a snort, then he walked out the door.

The Togruta went to follow then stopped in the door.  "Where are you going to be taking us to?  Is it far?"

"FIne."  Sheila heads out with whomever is going to get her outside the hideout, since she has no idea how they got inl.  "Figure out where we're going by the time I get back." To the person leadeing her.  "Show me where to bring the speeder or come with me, whichever."  once she get's outside, she'll use a map on the padd to figure out where she is, and where a rental place is.

One of the aliens leads her to the main gate.  Given that Sheila was human it was likely that nobody would pay much attention to her leaving the compound.  The rodian who escorted her wore a hooded cloak.  Without a word she was escorted off the property, the fence securely locked behind her.

Sheila having already worked out the dealer she was heading to, walked swiftly.  To save time, while she walked she logged back into the dealer's site on the holonet and booked the speeder electronically.  Once she arrived at the dealer, ten minutes later or booking and payment had been recieved and she was ready to drive away less than 10 minutes later.

Back at the warehouse Aryan was left to work out the important decisions with Raana and Crado.  Namely, where did the speeder load people from and where were they actually taking them?  Given the number of people in the house they'd still need to make 2-3 trips.


OOC:  I've taken the liberty of deducting the appropriate amounts from everyone's equipment as everyone seems to have 'forgotten'!  You only had enough for the deposit and 1 day's rental (which should be more than you need as you plan to leave the planet in a few hours!)

Aryan looked at Raana.  "Do yousa have a map of the city and outskirts, or knoledge of the surounding area?"

Raana pulls a datapad of a nearby table and pulls up a map and hands it to Aryan.

Hopefully, ny the time she gets the vehicle, Aryan and the others will have figured out where she is to pick up and where they are to go.  After she gets the vehicle, Sheila will call back.   '' 8, find out where I should meet you and where we're going."

"Four to Talon teams, coded sit-reps ASAP."

"Ten here, we're about to pop the hatch on a freighter."

Aryan crinkles his nose, tehn looks at Raana.  "Cuse me" He says, walking to a corner.

"Eight here. Made contact with civilians and prepped. Query location for site."

"Eight" Xil says over the secure comm "Clarify the last part of your message."

The gungan sighs and rubs his head. "Isa need a place to take the civilians." He says simply. "Isa have transport, but nosawhere to go with them."

Trying to remain calm he responds to Aryan, his voice unfortunately had an obvious edge to it "Eight, don't tell me that you haven't planned for a relocation point. Surely you did that as part of your prep before making contact, with possible contingency locations as well."

Aryan grimmaces at Exillim's comments, more of the truth of the matter than him pointing it out.  The gungan pulls out his datapad, and taps away, looking at locations

"Eight, Four. Report ASAP on the status of your mission. Do you have a relocation point?"

Given it had only taken Sheila ten minutes to walk to the dealership it would take her less than 2 to get back to the warehouse.  They needed a plan and they needed it now.  Time was not a luxury they had.  They needed to quickly work out who was going on which trip and where they were going.


OOC:  I know there's some ooc chat going on but it's been 4 days since you guys posted IC.  Sheila is only a minute or two away.

Cor's voice comes over the secure comms channel.

"Diplomatic team, this is Eleven; Nine has assigned me to assist as best I can.  Status report, please."

"I'm driving back.  Aryan, have them divide into two groups, decide among themselves who goes first and second, just divide the injured as evenly as possible, or put all the flat injured in one load with fewer others, cause it ain't gonna be comfortable. 11, we're looking for somewhere to take them in the city, which I don't think there is, or a way to get them to the freighter. It will be at least 2 trips, there are several seriously wounded, and I'll be overloadimg the speeder by half again to do the two trips.  So far as I can tell, they have no idea where else they can go in the city."

Raana stood patiently near Aryan, having no idea what conversations he might be having on his earpiece comm.  Her patience turned to surprise when she saw Crado and three other aliens walk in armed.  Aryan recognised them as the three who had helped the Cathar ambush Sheila.  Now each had a blaster pistol tucked in his pants or in a pocket and two wore what looked like surplus chest armour, probably left over from the Clone Wars.

Crado glared at Aryan.  "We go last.  Stay and fight if must.  Raana you go with group first.  Will need you."

Raana made to protest but Crado glared.  "You leader, you must go with others.  I go last." his voice made it clear he was not about to negotiate.

"Searching for you now."  Cor's voice sounds completely calm and relaxed.  "Do you know how they managed to get critically injured?  If there is another element, perhaps some gang that has been molesting them, there may be eyes on your location at street level."
