Ulu lifts up his hands in a
'I give up gesture' as he laughs.
"Goood! Har.. har.." His huge ears flick at the air slightly.
"I've been waiting a long time to get back into the game, and I hope this lead on Skywalker will show the uppers I can be trusted again," he says as he takes out a cube-like object the size of a small jewelery box that he puts at the center of the table.
"I am very excited about this piece of intelligence I was fortunate to come across... quite by accident, actually. There is no doubt in my mind though, it is Master Skywalker! See for yourselves..."
Pressing a small button at the side of the device, a holo image springs up, its blue light casting shadows across the room. The recording has no sound, but it has obviously been taken from a 30 degree angle above two figures discussing in an alleyway. One of the two is a Neimoidian. The other appears to be wearing a dark cloak and cowl, and though no lightsaber is visible - you clearly recognize Luke Skywalker as he lowers the hood of his cloak and starts a conversation with the Neimoidian.
The image clearly show them bantering, and finally some credits exchange hands, with Luke taking possession of two items from: a datapad, and a small, square object, about the size of a fist. It looks to be made of a black substance - with perhaps some type of script on it - but it's impossible to tell in the holo. Eventually the holo-recording ends, and the Gran picks up the cube again and waves a small data disk.
"This is good, eh???" he says rubbing his hands together.

Private to Zala Quel'falri:
You immediately recognize the Neimoidian as Nute Findos. He makes his living as an information broker who lives and has offices here (you know where)... with a private army of droids at his beck and call, no less. He's not exactly your friendly type either.
Master Skywalker, you know what everyone else has seen on the newscasts about him. Let me know if you need information on that.]
