Randy pretends to gag as Omen walks past him into the store, but he smiles as soon as Omen passes and can't see him any more. As he enters the store Randy looks around for Parn.
Omen and Randy: You hear a chime and the sound of a squeaky door as you enter Passk's Oddities. Both Parn and a snazzily dressed Trandoshan turn and take notice when you enter. The store smells of old paper and the shelves are overstuffed with junk.
"Good," Passk says. "Now that everyone's here, please come into the back and we can discuss Passk's K38 motivator."
He motions towards a doorway to the back of the shop.
Omen: After a quick look around the room, all you see is countless shelves stacked with all manner of junk. There is nothing to indicate covert surveillance or bugging. You join the group in the back.
Passk stands in the back room of his shop with his back up against a stack of boxes. There is barely enough room for the four of you in this dusty cluttered room. There appears to be no difference between the stock here and the items on display in the front, it's all random junk.
"Passk welcomes friends from the rebellion," he whispers as he bows to the party. "What can Passk do for you, gentlebeings?"
"It's good to find a friend of the rebellion Passk. " says Parn " We need help to introduce ourselves in a ship that it is going to dock in this station."
Randy stands in front of Omen and Parn and puffs out his furry chest. "Hello Pask. My name is Randy and I'm the leader of this caravan. As Parn mentioned, we are hoping to become familiar, intimately familiar if you will, with a certain freighter that should be docking with this station. It is very important that our dealings proceed smoothly. Context is very important to any deal so any information you might provide on the station's administration, the station's structure, any station politics you can think of, and/or the freighter docking process would be very valuable to us."
A broad smile filled with sharp reptilian teeth comes to Passk's face. His amber eyes light up with fascination. "So it's true, you search for the mythic Perlemian Haul. Passk has heard of it, but Passk had no idea it ran through here. Passk will be glad to give you the information you desire."
Passk then lays out the following info to you all.
The station is run by Imperial Govenor Varla Prule. She is a human female from the upper levels of Coruscant. As Imperials go, she's not so bad. She may even be willing to help you with some information, if you ask for something circumstant and your pockets are deep enough to bribe her.
If you're light on credits, the locals might also be a good source of information about what's been coming in and out of here. Passk could introduce you to the leader of the workgang Big Black, a Zabrak named Raf. Big Black is the most prominent workgang on Martle Station.
Finally, Passk tells you that he possesses two navy trooper uniforms (including blast helmets and vests) that the party may be able to use as disguises— for a small fee, of course. Since all the navy troopers are human, only Parn would be able to take advantage of the uniforms.
After presenting all his ideas, Passk looks to you three for your thoughts.
"I do not like the idea of approaching the Imperials for information. As nice as this Prule may be for a fascist bureaucrat, even at the monastery we knew they only listen to two things: money and power. Neither of which we can fake our way through to get her attention."
OOC: I think we should approach Raf, and also get one of those uniforms and stash it for later. Parn, do you have any proficiencies for performance or disguises?
"Well " says Parn measuring the uniforms " Given time I do think that I could get the information from this governor Prule... " he smirks " High born girls has a tendecy to have a soft spot for scoundrels like me... I can't neither deny or confirm that it has happened before... " he winks an eye " But I do think that we are in a rush here. Probably Raf would be our better option. I'll take the uniform though, it could prove useful, to approach the ship once we know where it is for example. "
Randy nods his head seriously as the discussion progresses. "Yes this sounds good. I agree that our best bet is probably Raf and we should get one of the uniforms. Passk, could you tell us more about this Raf? Does he have a regular schedule he follows? Any dirt on him that we might exploit? Maybe there are some rumors about kinks and/or fetishes he might have?" Randy emphasizes the "and/or." "Remember, the more information we have the greater the chance that we will be able to seal the deal."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Also, I'd like to point out for the sake of accuracy. Randy is not in actuality our leader, besides in his own mind. No, we are an egalitarian collective of like-minded adventurers who only seeks the removal of the Imperial's boot from our proverbial necks. Can you help us?"
Passk strokes his lizard chin and thinks. "What can Passk tell you about Raf? Hmmm."
Passk gives you the following info:
Raf is a large, muscular, and albino Zabrak, with pale skin and pink, brooding eyes. A large black spot has been tattooed in the center of his forehead. The tattoo is to identify him as a member of Big Black, all members have a black spot visibly tattooed somewhere on their body. Raf is surly and bad-natured, he has a reputation on the docks for being easily insulted.
Raf is no friend of the Empire. Should he learn you are members of the Rebel Alliance, you may find him much easier to work with.
"Than you Passk. Then perhaps a friendly approach trying to secure his collaboration is the best one... won't you agree? " Parn asks to his two companions.
"Agreed. And if that fails Parn can attempt his human charms on the Imperial, which should be interesting to watch. I always wondered, do human seduction techniques involve any sort of unique pheromone secretion? Do you have any hidden neck glands?"
"Wha... hidden what?" says Parn who was about to answer the first sentence but was caught totally off-guard with that question. " No.. we don´t... " he hesitates "Not that I am aware of..." he rubs the back of his neck, as if he fears that something has sprut on it to spread pheromones. "Anyway the workers seems our best bet for the moment. The other venue requires more time that we may have... Let's see what we can learn from Raf... Thank you Passsk. Is anything more you could help us with? Equipment or weapons perhaps? "
