Mission to Ryloth Part I - Day 2

Those who set alarms find them going off exactly on time. Those who don't will wake up whenever they feel rested, as the individual rooms are heavily soundproofed so that not even the sound of a loud holodrama on the vidscreen could awaken them.

The first to walk out of their room finds Varis, eating breakfast, watching the local news. Since she doesn't have any negotiations planned for today, she's dressed in casual clothing.

Aadun opened his eyes and sleepily turned to glare at his alarm.  He sat up and stared off into space several minutes and then he turned the alarm off.  He stands up and stares longingly at his bed.  'You can sleep in after the mission,' he thinks to himself and then walks over to his bag.  The bag was full and most of its contents wound up strewn across the bed before a proper outfit was selected.

All he really needed to do was his normal grooming in order to make himself look presentable and then he stepped out of his room.  It wasn't too surprising that Varis was already up since she seemed to really take her jobs seriously.  "Sleep well?" he asks and he finds a good spot to sit.

"Yes, I did. And you?" she asks more out of politeness than actual interest as she appears to be very absorbed by the news.

"It seems that they've announced a 'quarantine' of Kala'uun for health concerns to the general population of Ryloth. They're claiming they have a possible outbreak of Plyridian Fever, the incubation time of which is four weeks, so Kala'uun has to be quarantined for the next four weeks and they're tracking all freighters which have recently departed as a 'safety precaution.' Someone really wants a chance to work the city over thoroughly."

"Yes," he responds, but doesn't comment further.  He turns his attention also to the news and listens as Varis explains the situation at hand.  He groans inwardly and stands back up.  "What?  That is very troublesome," he says through gritted teeth, but he shuts his eyes and breaths deep.  After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself and it was hard to tell that he had ever began to get angry in the first place.  "This will affect our escape plans."

Varis nods in agreement. "Yes, it will. It also affects negotiations. If the Imperials are planning on staying a month, because they're searching, we won't be negotiating anything or leaving in two weeks as planned. We'll have to work out an alternative escape plan. This mission... it is going extremely wrong disturbingly quickly."

Aadun paces back and forth a few times as if walking would help his mind process the information better.  "We'll just have to make do.  The timeline is greatly extended and if we cause too much trouble too early then we'll have to deal with the consequences directly," he comments, thinking about the mission first.  "Is it a fair guess to assume that the Imperials are probably behind this?"

"I imagine this is the Imperials, yes. As a bit of a correction, though, I think the time line has been shortened, not extended. If they're implementing a serious search, and they think it will take a month, they are bound to check out every option. The longer we're here, the more danger we are in from them.

I don't know about you, but I've no desire to be the subject of an Imperial Inquisitor's speculation or investigation."

'Varis has a point...' Aadun thought to himself as he nods his head.  He didn't think he was outlawed anywhere, but he had done questionable things and it really wouldn't surprise him if the Imperials could dig up something.  He continued to pace a bit, unconsciously, but soon he sits back down in his chair.  "As soon as everybody is ready we need to get going.  I don't think I was paid enough to have to deal with that," he says and his lips curled up into his usual grin.

Varis laughs, amused. "I know I wasn't paid enough for it. I wonder where your compatriots are."

"Good question," he answers and looks in the direction of the rooms.  "If it takes too much longer, do you want me to wake them up?"

Krysten stepped out of her 'fresher in her own quarters about the time Aadun got up and began getting dressed.  She had already been up for close to an hour, but she had been working out and was in dire need of a sonic shower.

She stepped into the main room just as Aadun offered to go wake folks up with her helmet under one arm.  She set the helmet on a counter top before beginning to load a plate with foods like nerf bacon, Nubian eggs, hash browns and shaak sausage from the selection room service had delivered.

As she sat down on a stool with her helmet in easy reach, she started digging into the plate in what many would consider a "military" fashion.  She was polite about it, but everything simply disappeared into her petite form.  When she was done, she turned to Varis.

"I had the news on in my quarters.  I've never heard of this plague, but it sounds like we need to get our mission done in a hurry.  Are we going after the brother?  Or are we going to try and talk to the sister?"

"Plyridian Fever is real enough. And it presents a real risk, but I'm fairly certain this is a ploy rather than an actual possible epidemic. Unless the Imperials released it intentionally."

She sighs and shakes her head. "You all need to get on with your mission. I'm going to work on finding alternate routes out of Kala'uun."

Kala had spent a bit of the morning in meditation in her room. Exercises to clear her mind, and help her relax. Soon, she was ready to meet the day. She headed for the refresher, and one out, dressed in some casual clothing. She turned on the local news feed, and frowned.

She exited her room, and came down to the main room. She saw Aadun and Varis there. "Hello there. So, the imperials are soon to be knocking on doors, to make sure we don't have this plague. Is there a smuggling compartment on the ship we could hide things in that we do not wish to be caught with?" She said, as she helped herself to some breakfast.

In answer to Kala's question, Varis responds, "There is. Although I don't guarantee privacy from myself. I'll personally put anything you want in the compartment, but I'm not going to just show you the secrets of my ship."

"It's fine." Kala replied. Varis would either search her bag, or she would not. She perhaps had to trust her a little, or else spend her days and nights lying awake, wondering if anyone in the group was going to betray her.

"I would recommend we get a copy of the latest Imperial laws, so we know what we can and cannot carry, to reduce us being hassled everywhere we go." She suggested, as she smiled to the others.
