The devaronian appears to be chewing something and simply stairs at Bane appraisingly. At length he shrugs and speaks into an intercom beside the door.

"Someone to see Ak-Yev."

There is a moment of pause, then the blast door slides open, revealing an extravagantly decorated corridor within.

"Thank you," Bane says pleasantly, striding past the guards and through the door, followed by Sora, Zirak and R5.

The devaronian continues to chew in silence, narrowing his eyes as he watches Bane pass.

A wide, polished corridor extends before the party, leading to a large ramp which rises to a second floor. At the wall behind the ramp, a pair of turbolifts are located. A dozen or so doors lead off to either side of the corridor before them. Several guards stand about the corridor before them, three more gamorreans a zabrak and two B2-series battle droids. One of the gamorreans steps forward and squeaks something that none of them understand, but the pudgy hand he stretches out to stop Bane makes it clear they are to go no further.

They wait in the corridor for a minute to two. At length a burly weequay appears at the top of the ramp, dressed in a garish outfit of red, green and white tassels. A heavy blaster is strapped to his side. He stares curiously at the party for a moment, before striding down the ramp towards them. He halts a meter or so from them, his eyes fixed on Sora. The pair stand, staring for a moment, and Zirak suspects Sora is once again communicating using non-verbal communication.

"Speak basic, Sora," Zirak scowls.

"Ah, sorry," Sora says aloud, "These are my companions, Zirak and Bane."

"Beepity-boop!" R5 beeps indignantly.

"And R5," Sora adds, before explaining, "It seems Ak-Yev used to be one of the chief retainers at my estate."

"But it was not the will of Quay that I remain," Ak-Yev adds somberly, with just a hint of resentment.

"Tell him to skip the history lessons," Zirak says impatiently to Sora, "And get to the part where we get your credits."

Sora sends Zirak a disapproving look, but nevertheless turns back to Ak-Yev.

"We were hoping you might be able to help us break into the estate?"

"Why should I serve you?" Ak-Yev replies to Sora coolly, "You abandoned Quay, the true god, for your false Jedi religion."

"I confess I remember nothing of my past," Sora says frowning helplessly, "I am sorry if I have offended you, but we were informed you might help us?"

"You were misinformed. Only Quay knows my destiny."

"His, er, Quay, sent us vision, saying you would help him," Zirak lies quickly.

Ak-Yev turns to Zirak, considering his words.

"Did he? Strange that he did not inform me of this. I shall inquire of him now."

He reaches into an exquisitely embroidered silk pouch at his side, withdrawing a palm sized white orb.

OOC: Ak-Yev rolled 13 using 1d20. Sense Motive.

"Wonderful," Zirak replies, trying to conceal the sarcasm from his voice.

Ak-Yev closes his eyes, speaking solemnly in weequay as he holds the orb before him.

Sora murmurs the translation to Zirak and Bane.

"He says, 'Mighty Quay, is it indeed your will that I should serve Sora Bulq as master once more?'"

There is a moment of silence, before the orb booms a response, also in Sriluurian.

"Well, Sora," says Ak-Yev firmly in Basic once more, "You have heard Quay’s response."

Sora frowns.

"It said 'the outlook is not good'," he mutters to the others.

"You are aware that that orb is nothing more than a novelty toy?" Bane says irritably.
