Passk opens his empty palms in a apologetic way. "All Passk can offer is what you see around you."  He motions to the shelves and shelves of dusty randomness.

If you're interested in searching the shop for something useful, make an investigation check.

"It's all good Passk" replies Parn "You are doing more than enough. Thank you" he says with a slight bow of his head in recognition of the danger the trandoshan is taken just for sharing the inforation with them. 

"We should get going and find or soon-to-be new friend" he suggest to the others.

"But I could spend hours perusing these shelves of wonderment.  Perhaps we could use this _____?"

Investigation = 6

Randy also investigates. "I think that this space-_______ should help."

Investigation = 2 (not sure if I have a bonus)

(OOC: Randy, you have a +2 to Investigation)

Randy and Omen: Unfortunately, you can't find anything of use amongst the mess that is Passk's shop. You wonder how he sells anything in this place.

"I think that this space-junk should help," Randy says sarcastically as he holds up a cracked Moobian torsion valve. "Thanks for the offer Passk, but I think it's time we move on. Remember, if anybody asks we were only here for trade. We may return but if not, may the force be with you."

Passk nods, "And with you." He leads you three out of the shop.

He takes you through the public parts of the station until you come to one of the platform's cargo bays. The dock is full of activity, busy workers and supervising Imperials are rush about. Passk points to a group of dock workers unloading boxes from a YT-2400 light freighter. All the workers in the group have similar tattoos of black spots somewhere on their bodies. He motions to the 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. He dresses in a worn work suit and carries a number of vibroknives.

"That is Raf." Passk says.

An excited, child-like grin splits Omen Tashan's face.  His hand shoots up unbidden in an enthusiastic wave.  

Omen: The pale Zabrak gives you a puzzled and slightly annoyed look. Passk is surprised by your actions and grabs your waving hand. His eyes dart around the room, looking at the Imperials. "Discretion is important in Passk's business, please control yourself." He looks at the rest of the party for help.

Randy looks around for a moment and then says quickly to Passk, in a voice meant to be overheard. "Please excuse my friend. I assure you he meant no harm. He once stood too close to a 7085 ionization reactor when the corvette it was powering went to ludicrous speed. I'm sure you know what that can do to your head. It seems he traded his wits for a child-like innocence. The man over there must remind him of someone. Perhaps we should apologize to the gentleman and explain ourselves."

Turning to Omen and talking to him as one might talk to a particularly idiotic child, "Does that man remind you of a friend? Would you like to go and exchange greetings?"

Omen whispers to Randy: "What are you even talking about?!  We're on a secret mission to talk to that guy.  Did you forget already?  The monks said I'd meet some strange folks out of the convent, but the lack of mindfulness training out here in the galaxy really leads to some short attention spans.  I think you'd better let Parn handle the negotiations for everyone's sake."

"Oh, Ruprecht. You are dearly innocent." Randy says loudly and laughs in feigned delight. Randy then whispers to Omen, "The meeting was supposed to be SECRET, but you kind of messed that up with your little waving stunt. We're going to have to hide in plain site. Just play along and DON'T TALK. From now on you're Ruprecht. Parn and I will handle this."

Turning to Parn, Randy says more loudly, "Ruprecht here thought that gentleman was Fanny Mae. Can you believe that?"

Parn sighs and nods to Randy

"At least this time he didn't took him for Moff Tratcha. Remember when he did that with that Anomid back in Treeebum IV? " he tries to follow up Randy's history.

Randy nods at Parn and chuckles. "Yeah. That was embarrassing. Who knew that the Imperial Troops stationed at Treeebum IV would have such thorny temperaments?" Randy's small fuzzy face is grinning as he turns back to Passk, "In any case, we should probably go and introduce ourselves to the gentleman over there and explain our companion's behavior."

Quietly to his companions: "That's what I was trying to do from the beginning."

More loudly: "You gotta admit that anomid's voice modulator was a dead ringer.  And you know I suffer from xeno-blindness!  You all look the same to me.  It's a genetic condition!"   

The albino Zabrak gives you three a confused look as you walk towards him. His eyes glance over to Passk as the Trandoshan attempts to quietly back away from your party and then back to you.

He crosses his arms and with a gruff voice says, "So what's this all about?"

"Well met. We are looking of some work at the docks, and we've heard that you are the right person to look for. Parn's the name " says the human extending his hand so the zabrak could shake it. "hope this is a good moment?" 

Make a Persuasion check, Parn.

Persuasion: 16 

In case Defiant applies: 2

Raf looks the three of you over and then at Parn's outstretched hand. After a second he extends his own large, rough hand and shakes hands with Parn. "Good to meet you." He looks around the docks and says, "Come with me, let's go someplace more quiet to talk."

He walks off through the dock and motions for you to follow.
