This area is a rundown sprawl where disenfranchised individuals go to remain "off the grid." It is home to smugglers, death stick addicts, malfunctioning droids, gangsters, bounty hunters and countless others.

"Should we make our way to the NovaCORE office to see if they've seen the sleemo?"

"I'm not sure we could trust much of what they tell us, but it's as good a place to start as any, as their computer network could reveal a lot if we tap into it," Anjali replies.

"It seems there is only one of them. Perhaps we should split up and go both ways."

"Hmm. If some of you blokes want to head to the factory, I could talk to the employees. I'm just a bit wary of splitting up. That stun blast took the wind of me, and I'm still a bit light-headed..."

"Do you think the nikto WORKS here???! IF his name was in their system, then that would be a HUGE development. I think you should try it out."

"I say, Boss, Helio....you two check out the factory. Anjali, AAA, and I will get out the Offices."

" right o" Hell says before heading off his weapon set on stun and carried by his leg in a semi concealed way. As he approaches the dead end he looks at Boss "not to late to catch the others let's head to the office and give them backup."

As they approach the offices, they see about 6 mishmash of non-humans and humans milling about in the office. They all have NovaCore uniforms, although some don’t seem to fit as well as they do on others. They are also clearly armed.

"I've got a plan.....trust me!" Monty whispers to Anjali & AAA and gives them a *wink*.

With that, Monty pulls out his weapon, takes cover, and shouts, "THIS IS THE CORUSCANT POLICE, THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!!!"

"What the...," Anjali is surprised, but quickly ducks down, too, as she has no ranged weapon to assist in a firefight. She just tries to focus on helping Monty whatever it takes to keep them alive.

One of the NovaCore employees comes out with his weapon drawn. “Who’s out here? You are trespassing! Leave this place immediately!” He visually scans the area but doesn’t see anyone.

"Coruscant Police!" shouts Monty as he pulls out his credentials. "We have good reason to suspect that a known criminal is on the premises. Is there anyone else here besides you all?"

“No! Now get out of here before you regret it!”

He aims the blaster rifle right at Monty

Anjali looks over at Alamy and murmurs: "Think you can talk fast to get us out of this? Otherwise we're in deep poo-doo. They don't look too bright; maybe make them think we've got backup coming and they'll be dead if they don't drop their weapons."

AAA whispers back, "On it." She ducks behind a crate and yells, "Drop your weapons and come out peacefully! We have backup on the way! This won't end well for you if you resist."
Spoiler:
AAA; Alpha Squad; Deception check:
3 Successes, 1 Advantage

Using he advantage to impose a setback on the bad guy if he decides to attack, as he's confused by the ruse.

Believing the ruse, he turns around and runs back into the control room yelling, "Alert the Boss! We have got company coming! It's the authorities and they have backup!"

Hell overhearing part of the conversation crouches low with is blaster in hand and closes the distance between him self and his colleges.
Spoiler:
Hell; Alpha Squad; Force availability:
, 2 Dark Side

I was thinking of doing something with the force but this is an evil place.
A dark feeling surrounds the area and making hell slightly uneasy. He raises his weapon in front of him, continuing to crouch as he closes, aiming at the individual with a raised weapon.
