He has a vid-chip, which he slots into the holo-vid and plays for you all. It’s a recording of Splynn, looking as well-groomed and smug as ever. “Hello all, I trust you’ve enjoyed your down time?” he asks rhetorically. “Now that I’ve given you time to heal your injuries, repair the ship, and get in some R&R, it’s time to send you on your next job. You’ll be happy to know that this one will at least take place in civilized space.” An insert shot of a large, bustling commerce station appears next to his head. “This is Korhal station, a delivery hub and distribution nexus a few light years from here. I’ve received word that there are a couple of things waiting for me there and I’ve decided to send you to retrieve them for me. The first is simple: I have a package waiting at the mail depot. I want you to pick it up and deliver it back to the hangar on Gaurick, your current location. I’ll make arrangements to have it shipped to my personal estate later. The second task I want you to accomplish is a bit… trickier. And it’s why I’m considering this a debt-reducing job.” The station image is replaced by the face of an attractive, dark-haired woman. None of you fail to notice that this image appears to be a mug shot. “Kaara Zone,” Splynn says. “She’s a person with whom I have done business in the past and, as it turns out, she has found herself in a bit of a jam. Ms. Zone is currently being held in the Korhal detention center awaiting transfer to a CSA core world for trial and sentencing. I can only assume it’s Star’s End for her after that. I’d prefer if that didn’t happen. I have need of her talents and I owe her a favor anyway. So, your goal will be to get her out of there. I don’t honestly care how. Shoot the place up if you think you can—I will warn you that in addition to Espo forces, there is a small Imperial garrison there as well. Return my package and Ms. Zone to Gaurick in one piece and I’ll be happy. Return with the woman but without the mail, I’ll be annoyed. Return with the mail but not the woman, I’ll be angry. If I were you, I wouldn’t even consider returning with neither…” The image of Zone disappears and the screen is filled with Splynn’s face again. “Bola has the coordinates and the shipping information for the package. Kaara is set to be transferred in three days. So, I suggest you get moving.” And, just like that, the screen goes dark. | |||||

But seriously, this could be our most subtle job ever! I have a cunning plan, my lord... muses Sparks, staring at the blank holo view... | |||||

He looks to Bola and asks wryly, "Any chance there's some petty cash available for 'mission supplies?'" This message was last edited by the player at 20:34, Sun 13 Mar 2011. | |||||

"Captain, how do you think that we can get her out? Wouldn't we need extra resources to do that? Either weaponry and such or money to bribe? Even if we intend to do a break in, that would require specialist gear." | |||||

He stood and headed for the ship, his new body armor clinking against itself, "Anyway, I hope that planet is close in case our hyper drive fails. I wouldn't want to miss her transfer because our engines gave out." | |||||

He joins the rest of the crew in boarding the ship. A quick check by the newly reactivated Forem shows that the galley is full stocked with 3 months worth of good quality consumables. Not top shelf stuff, but definitely not the bantha poodoo you were stuck with before. He also reports that the supply cabinet has been restocked with medkits (10) and spare parts. The droid takes his leave to begin a new inventory, muttering about how much has changed on board since he was last online. And yes, it's delivered as passive-aggressively as it sounds. Chatterbox greets you all eagerly, "I hope you all enjoyed your time off. I for one had a splendid time recalibrating the sensors and monitoring those comm feeds Mr. Strickland asked me to watch. Q7 is down in the engine room doing a final pre-flight check." | |||||

Aye, aye boss. Sparks get comfortable again in his chair on the bridge and powers up his boards. CBox, once we're in hyperspace, we can talk about those intercepts eh? | |||||

"So, what mission of daring-so are we off to this time?" Chatterbox asks conversationally as he dumps the collected comm intercepts to Strickland's station for the tech to peruse. "I hope it's somewhere civilized this time. That last planet... Brrr..." | |||||

"If we go in and shoot up the detention center, the Imperial Garrison will respond. We'll need to find a quieter method, or make a distraction to draw off most of the security forces long enough for us to get away with our boss's friend. | |||||

"If we get there early, we can pick up the package, wait for the transfer, and then book it." | |||||

HA, ha, ha... Sparks burst into laughter at the 'joke'. That's funny Bola. NO ONE needs an excus to shoot Haskel, not even Chomper! HA, ha, ha... Sparks roars at his own joke. | |||||

The laughter did snap her out of her dark mood. She glanced towards the open doorway where the sound was emerging from wondering what they found to be so funny. But, at least they were not busy trying to kill each other, which was a big plus by her book. | |||||

While the data (if there is any) loads, he muses. "I suggest a recon flyby of the jail... Let's rig some sort of a sensor and tracking 'malfunction,' and we'll set our approach to pop over the detention center, giving Sparks a chance to hit it with a focused scan." | |||||

The holo displays a detailed schematic of the station, rotating around as Chatterbox continues to speak. "Their layout is a matter of public record, so I can show you exactly where everything is. They make no secret about their detention center--probably meant to let would-be thieves know they've got a place to stash them if they're caught. It's not really a prison, just a holding center." A section near the core of the station lights up, labeled "Detention Center". "I would recommend against attempting a focused scan. It's deep enough in the station's frame that you'd have to linger, making it pretty obvious what you're trying to do. Which reminds me, what are we trying to do? Nobody seems to want to fill 'the droid' in on why we're all talking about busting someone out of jail." He sounds offended. | |||||
