"Nice to meet you," he said offering Jack his hand. "It's good to meet you too," Shepherd replied to the Zygerrian. This Ikis seemed more like him than Maya did. Maya then took Jack back to the passengers' quarters. "And this is our other passenger," Maya said, this time introducing a green-skinned Twi'lek dressed in refined, but functional clothing. He had a sly-looking smile on his face as he stood up from his seat and reached out his hand to introduce himself before Maya could. "My name is Connus Amersu," he said. "And you are?" "Commander Shepard," Jack replied, taking Connus' hand and shaking it. "Oh, Commander Shepherd." Connus replied. "And in what army are you a commander? The last time I checked, the Empire was not at war." Connus had a look on his face that told Jack he had more disdain for the Empire than he did Jack's old title. "I was a part of the Agamar Resistance," Shepherd replied brusquely. He understood Connus' meaning, but he still didn't like his tone of voice.

"Don't worry," Connus said, leaning back against the wall and putting his hands behind his head to evoke a more relaxed manner. "As long as your military actions don't interfere with my business or that of my employer, I have no problem with them." | |||

As the door to the cockpit was open, Jack could hear some sort of customs officer talking to Maya over the comm. "Please transmit a manifest of your cargo, crew and passengers, with planet of origin specified for each sentient." "Why does it matter from where my passengers and crew are coming?" asked Maya. "It's for security purposes," the officer explained, "and if it's not included in the manifest, you will not be allowed to land." "But that's ridiculous," Maya responded, her voice rising. Jack could see Ikis' back and shoulders tensing up as well. "Rules are rules," was all the officer had to say. Maya shook her head and sighed, and you could see her typing in some information (no doubt adding everyone's planet of origin) before she transmitted the manifest. After a short wait, the customs officer replied "I will meet you in the following hangar on Yellow Deck." "Yellow deck? But I usually land on Green Deck." Maya answered curtly. "Well then, you must usually have passengers that don't come from planets listed on our watch list." And Jack could hear the comm cut out. Obviously the customs officer had nothing else to say. Maya let out a quiet scream of frustration, but steered the ship to the designated hangar. The ship soon landed, and as Jack exited the ship, he could see the customs officer waiting at the bottom of the landing ramp. "Please line up for a search," the officer said to each of you, including Maya and Ikis (who now had some sort of poncho draped over his arm), as you exited the ship. "I'll start with you," the officer said to Jack. "Please spread your legs slightly and lift your arms straight out." This message was last edited by the GM at 23:30, Fri 22 Jan 2010. | |||

Ikis, standing to your left, huffed at this last statement, and muttered under his breath "Restricting travel. How dare they." The customs officer gave Ikis a sidelong glance, but said nothing. Now finished with the rhetoric, the customs officer returned to his more officious self. "Right now I'm leaning towards the latter with you, but if you continue with the attitude, I'll consider the former. Now, legs apart, arms up," he repeated.

Jack said nothing; simply slipping off his jet pack and handing it over. "If there's so much as a scratch on it, it'll be your hide," he said, displaying his seriousness by not having any emotion in his voice. | |||

"I suppose," the customs officer mulled. "Is this sufficient?" Maya asked, handing him a credit chip. "Yes, this should be adequate," he admitted. Then, turning to Jack, he said "Very well, you may keep your jet pack. May I suggest the Green Deck for you, sir? Just one floor up." He then turned to Connus. "Next!" Maya mouthed "Get where they're going safely and with all their possessions." to Jack. This message was last edited by the GM at 22:18, Tue 02 Feb 2010. | |||

Jack furrowed his brow, but got the gist of it. He leaned against a wall just past the check station and waited for the others. | |||

The customs officer searched Connus, but found nothing of note. "I suggest you stay hear on the Yellow Deck or one of the lower decks," the officer said somewhat derisively after he was finished. "And why do you suggest that?" Connus asked. "For your own safety," the customs officer replied. | |||

None of the others said anything else, and Connus simply moved over by Jack to also wait for the other two. | |||

The inspections of the other two didn't take long either. When they were finished, the customs officer said "You're free to go. We will search your ship, and if we find anything suspicious, believe me, we'll be in contact. Ma'am, I suggest the Green Deck for you; and for you," he said to Ikis, giving no title of respect, "I suggest the Yellow Deck." Jack could see that Ikis was about to deck the officer, but Maya stepped in. "We're on the same crew. We're not going to go to different locations." "Then I suggest you both go to Yellow Deck," the officer retorted. "I'll go where I please," Ikis said. The customs officer shrugged, as if to say "Don't say I didn't warn you." But he said nothing else. The others joined you. "Well I'm off to my business meeting," Connus said. "But thank you for the transportation." "You're welcome," Maya replied. "Ikis and I also have business to attend to, but if either of you need transport off the station, please feel free to contact us."

As each of the parties were about to leave, Jack overheard Ikis stop Maya. "I'm afraid I have to go." "But you can't go now, we have to..." Maya started to protest, but Ikis cut her off. "This is one of those things I told you about. I have to go. It may help the cause." "Very well then," Maya conceded. "Good luck." After their goodbyes Jack set about looking for leads into the resistance movement. This message was last edited by the GM at 16:29, Wed 24 Feb 2010. | |||

After four grueling hours of trolling around for information regarding any possible resistance movement, Jack finally heard something. It was rumored that the owner of the local casino The Credit Chip, a quiet and brooding Human named Cecil Vane, didn't like what the Empire had done to the station. Especially since they didn't take too kindly to him cheating Imperial officers out of their money. If anyone knew anything about a resistance movement he might. | |||

Jack's opponent was a mean-looking male Devaronian, who gave Jack a twisted smile as he sat down. "The minimum match wager is 5 credits," the moderator explained. "How much would you like to wager?" | |||

"I want a rematch," the Devaronian said, annoyed at the loss. "It's up to you," the moderator informed Jack. "You may accept the challenge, or ask for a new opponent. Or you may quit playing." This message was last edited by the GM at 16:41, Wed 03 Mar 2010. | |||

The Devaronian won the first set. Fortunately, Jack was able to tie the next two sets, and keep the game going. This message was last edited by the GM at 16:54, Wed 10 Mar 2010. | |||

Jack wasn't about to give up yet. He'd kept things even after the initial loss. | |||
GM Hammer GM, 39 posts Wed 10 Mar 2010 at 18:56 |
Jack lost the next set, but won the following set. The match was now at 1-2 in favor of the Devaronian. If he won one more set, he would win the match. | |||
Jack Shepherd player, 25 posts Thu 11 Mar 2010 at 04:46 |
Jack wasn't going to take chances anymore. He was pouring his game on. | |||

Jack edged out the Devaronian in the next two sets to win the match and the 50 credit wager. Just then one of the bouncers approached Jack from behind and put a hand on his shoulder. "The owner, Mr. Vane, would like to speak with you," he said in a deep, burly voice. "Come with me." | |||

Jack quickly checked to make sure he had not been robbed. He was able to account for all of his belongings, so he dismissed the incident and having nothing else to do Jack headed to the Cantina right away and sat down in a shadowy booth where he could sit and think.

"So you see Ganga, my employer can offer you the best services." Connus said, sounding confident. "I'm afraid I will no longer need your boss's services," the pachydermoid replied. "I have just made a deal that will solidify my position on this station." "But surely my employer could offer you something to help you," Connus countered, now sounding desperate. "I'm afraid that to me they are not worth the price at which they are offered," the Chevin said. "Ganga, surely you don't undervalue these services," Connus argued. "No, but apparently you overvalue my need for them," Ganga thundered. He then stood up and exited the cantina. Jack could hear the disappointed sigh from Connus, who slowly got up, headed over to the bar, and ordered a heavy drink. | |||

Jack rolled his eyes, then quickly took a hold of Connus' arm and leaned in close. "You should probably get out of here, the Empire might be taking an interest in this place soon." Connus started. He hadn't known Jack was there, and was surprised at Jack suddenly approaching him. "Oh, it's just you," he said, calm now that he knew to whom he was speaking. "Jack, right? Thanks for the warning. I may be depressed, but I don't think having a run in with the Empire will help that. Do you mind if I come with you, where ever it is you're going? It's not like I can go back to my employer now." | |||

Connus followed Jack, since Jack said he could come with him. As Jack and Connus rounded the corner, Vane was no where in sight. There were only a handful of citizens milling about in this main area of the Promenade, a few of them gazing out the massive windows at the planet Brentaal hovering below. Jack also noted the young man in the hooded cloak who had bumped into him just outside of the casino sat dejectedly on a bench, his head in his hands.

Jack looked up in surprise. |
