Shang looks around the group. ‘Well, when you have a Siris Eel between your teeth you need to keep chewing, as my gran used to say.’ with a wry smile, then he zeros in on Maya, his eyes narrowing with a little more intent…
’Is there anything else you think we should know…?’
Zayvera turns her head towards Shang at a questioning tilt at the odd turn of phrase he used then turns back to Maya, "Yeah I'm curious too if there is anything else you can tell us about all this? The informant, the cargo, how much you were going to pay the informant?"
Kita was inclined to accept this task, but all the questions from the others made him more wary. He turns his gaze quizzically towards Maya, expecting answers to their questions.
"Well first, thanks for not looking at me like I'm a lunatic when I'm talking about sticking it to the Empire. Your help will be rewarded after this, ill make sure of it." She pauses, taking a moment to process the questions coming her way. "Well, for one, the droid is in Deep Storage Bay V-14. The bay has apparently been quarantined for well over a year, but that doesn't stop a large influx of non-humans from going in and out of it. Its supposedly off limits to non-imperial personnel, but nobody openly guards it, as far as I know." Maya seemed to purposefully ignore the question about the cargo, it being somewhat of a sensitive topic. "Well... the Cargo is something that will really assist our cause. I'm not supposed to tell anyone what it is, except for my contact, so keep this a secret, okay?" Despite stating how the room was checked for listening devices and bugs, Maya made sure to speak in a hushed tone about whatever this cargo was. "Really, its a fellow agent who's been frozen in Carbonite. I don't know much else, but every moment here is another where it could be discovered and taken by the empire."

Zayvera gives a shrug to Astrid's question, "Unless they get a serious case of hibernation sickness they should be fine. My question now would be why are you going after someone frozen in carbonite? You trying to smuggle someone off world or on?"
“With you not being with us, how will this droid know we’re the ones s’posed to meet him now?” Konnor says to Maya, “I’d venture a guess as he won’t exactly volunteer the location of your… ‘cargo…’ to just anyone.”
Kita considers everything he knows of these people and Maya, admittedly not much, but it is clear they're no friends of the Empire. "Very well, I will help you with this mission."
"I'm just an agent. I don't have a clue towards how they ended up like that, but it was most likely because cargo is easier to smuggle than people." She grabs out a datapad and lays it on a table, gesturing for someone to pick it up. "On this are directions to the storage facility. As for how he will know, that droid is an information broker. He might as well know more about you than you do yourselves. If he plays you a fool, just give him some credits. I'm not sure what else to do about that though. Hes dangerous though. Took over his operation right underneath the nose of the Black Sun, and is still running it today."

Zayvera gives a quick whistle impressed at what the droid had managed, "Taking from the Black Sun like that and staying alive is pretty impressive, especially for a droid."
Zayvera looks down at the table where the datapad is then looks around at the others to see who will grab the pad, "Someone else is going to need to read that cause I can't."
Astrid picks up the data pad and looks it over, before pocketing it and turning to Maya. “Anything else we should know? Are we bringing our ‘cargo’ back here when we have him?”
‘I’m afraid I for one find myself temporarily embarrassed in terms of credits, I was relying on refilling the coffers when I arrived on the station, which looks a little challenging now.’ Shang pauses, his eyes nictating momentarily, ‘By which I mean, if they need credits…’
"I have some credits on me from my last job," Zayvera remarks with a shrug. "If it comes to it maybe we can pool our credits together, but we do not know how much it is going to cost us at this point anyway. Although if its a info broke maybe we could trade info for info, or maybe if we are lucky it has some job it needs done in exchange for what we are looking for."
Maya acknowledges the concerns and statements of the group with slight nods as she clutches her side. She takes a look at Astrid, then looks like she had forgotten something and is rapidly trying to remember it. "Oh, right! Here, have this. You should take the cargo out of the station with you once you retrieve it, and I have a friend who can pick you up." She hands a commlink to whoever is closest and says "It has two frequencies saved on it, one is me, the other is my friend, Sirona O'Keefe. Ill let her know that she should be ready to pick you up whenever you find the cargo. Don't wait for me, by the way. I can find my own way off this station, eventually."

"We should move quickly," Zayvera answers. "The imperial forces could find the cargo before we do if we wait too long, and we may have to spend sometime doing who knows what for the info anyway. The more time we lose the more time the imperials have to either find us or the cargo, best we get it and ourselves off this station as soon as we can."
Konnor reaches out and accepts the commlink, securing it in his pocket. “Well alright then, sounds like we’ve got the makings of a plan here.” He looks around to the other members of the party before motioning to the door, “Shall we?”
Astrid frowns as she learns of the droid. "Where is this informant? Somewhere discreet I hope, with what happened back there..."
Shang looks around the group. ‘Well, when you have a Siris Eel between your teeth you need to keep chewing, as my gran used to say.’ with a wry smile, then he zeros in on Maya, his eyes narrowing with a little more intent…

"Everybody gets a nasty surprise one day. I'd rather take it standing up than when I'm laying down"
Astrid raises her eyebrows in surprise. "And they survived the freezing process? How did they end up like that?"
Zayvera gives a shrug to Astrid's question, "Unless they get a serious case of hibernation sickness they should be fine. My question now would be why are you going after someone frozen in carbonite? You trying to smuggle someone off world or on?"

'Do we need to wait a while for the search to die down a little, or should we keep moving?' Shang asks, looking around the group for input.
"We should move quickly," Zayvera answers. "The imperial forces could find the cargo before we do if we wait too long, and we may have to spend sometime doing who knows what for the info anyway.

Kita lifts himself off the wall, shifting his robes before nodding in agreement with Konnor.
Shang nods, checks the holdout pistol is well secured, and hidden, and jumps to his feet. ‘I’m ready…’ he says, rolling his shoulders in preparation.
