Re: 921 II
"In reference to your question concerning information on Mexeluine..."
"Our planet is well-equipped and perfectly situated for all means of commerce and travel, but has rates that are far less-expensive than Gerrenthum, which over-charges its clients and is plagued with corruption. Rest assured that your interests are best served here on Mexeluine!"

Re: 921 II
"We wouldn't be here if they weren't!" Vesper says with a grin. "We do have some cargo to offload—once we find a buyer." She turns to the commander. "You know anyone here? Or should we ask 921 to point us in the right direction?"DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2017 3:52 pm"Our planet is well-equipped and perfectly situated for all means of commerce and travel, but has rates that are far less-expensive than Gerrenthum, which over-charges its clients and is plagued with corruption.

Re: 921 II
Captain Kettel replies in a whispered voice, "I'm as new to this system as you are! I guess we'll have to ask around."
Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
"Yes those Rebels. I want to know where to avoid, so that I can make sure not to go there." Kzar says, just keep pulling those threads.

Re: E-3PO, Unit 921
Your comment causes the human guards in the room to give pause and stare momentarily.
"We have no such "Rebels" here on Mexeluine that I am aware of, so you'll have nowhere to avoid." says Unit 921 in a rather chipper voice.
"The Galactic Empire exerts little direct control over the Outer Rim territories, but it has significantly reduced piracy and rebellious activity across the galaxy since the fall of the Republic." says the droid, hoping to say something pleasing to Kzar's ears given his concern for his own safety. Unit 921 looks around to the faces of its new visitors trying to ascertain if he has made a statement pleasing to them.
Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
"Thanks 921. We've heard horror stories about what those terrorists are doing in other parts of the galaxy. Glad to hear we shouldn't have any problems here. Where would you suggest we go to sell some power couplings and generators? Good stuff. Hard to find in this part of the galaxy."

Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
"Excellent, 929. I look forward to enjoying your brilliant, beutiful, bemusing world without interruptions from rowdy repulsive rebels. " Kzar says and tips his hat.

selling...
"You are very welcome!"
"Regarding your request for a market to sell your good, I would be most happy to comply."
Bzzzzt.....bzzt....bzzt.... is what you hear as the protocol droid processes the information.
"Sir! You will be most pleased to know that several prominent mercantile businesses are only a short distance from here! As you exit the spaceport facility, continue straight to pass through The Merchant District. If there is one thing that Mexeluine has an abundance of, it is merchants!"
"Do you have any other requests for me? I am at your service."
Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
"Sounds like we're in the right place. I'm ready to hit the marketplace. Anything else from the rest of you?"

Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
Lanna growls something that roughly translates as "go!"
Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
"Right, thank you for your help, 921." Kzar says, "I think we should look for a book that teaches Shiriwook. I can't understand a thing our fine, furred companion is saying."

The marketplace...
"Enjoy your stay on Mexeluine!" replies 921. A security pass is given to Kettel for access to the hangar and the group makes its way through the hangar door. The door is locked securely behind them.
Outside of the hangar, the hallway is bustling with activity. Across the way is a youthful besalisk juggling round objects with his four arms, an open bowl at his feet for passerbys to deposit a spare credit or two. A faint hint of cantina music emanates from long distance….”dah-dah-dah…..dah-dah-dah….dah dah dah dah dah-dah….” Beings of various sizes and species move up and down the halls. Vendors, boutiques, and service providers line the halls and the interior.
Outside of the spaceport facility under the open sky, the scene turns more urban. The scene becomes more complicated with multi-level buildings, crosswalks, intersections and side-streets. Past a few streets of food and product vendors, you can see a more industrial layer of businesses and storefronts.

Vesper scans the crowd and looks for any signs of trouble.

Kzar looks around at the crowd and guards looking for anything out of the ordinary.

HRRISSSK……….ZUH-AK!!!
As we begin to search out a potential business to barter with, Lanna and Vesper notice that the crowds ahead begin to thin out and a few people begin to hurriedly rush down side streets as if getting out of the way or something......or someone. Kzar and Cpt Kettel were unaware of the subtle crowd movements until it is nearly too late. Kettel was double-checking his datapad and Kzar was admiring his pistols at that particular time. Lanna and Vesper sense something suspicious just before the following occurs….
A large, tall Trandoshan emerges from the crowd in front of you begins to hiss loudly right after the crowd parts…..
“HRRISSSK……KRRR……SHUH….ISSSK….R’KUR….ZUH-AK!!!”
Translation: "I CLAIM THE BOUNTY ON THIS CREATURE!!!"
The Trandoshan stops a short distance away and brandishing a Firelance Rifle.
He directly addresses the group….
“Yroosh….shoh…kisssk…bnntee!”
Translation: "Step away from my bounty!"
From behind the first Trandoshan steps a second one, shorter and stouter than the first. He is brandishing a cumbersome weapon with a short, wide barrel (an electronet launcher). Vesper and Lanna also notice several (4) Weequay to the left who are going against the grain of the crowd’s movement in our direction. They are each brandishing some sort of club.

Kzar reacts just a second too late, he had been admiring his new Security S5 blaster pistol and hadn't noticed the Trandoshans approaching, but he whips out his other blaster in mere moments and looks around, noticing a large barrel filled with small, hard, candies near the feet of the trandoshans and aims his grappling hook at it.

R1: Cpt Kettel
"What the???" exclaims Captain Kettel. Yet, he reacts quickly to the threat as a wiley combat veteran should. He draws his weapon and points out the enemies coming from the side and front. He glances at Lanna, the target of the Trandoshan's taunt, to make sure that she acts swiftly.

Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
Lanna steps forward past the puny, stupid, arrogant lizard leader to get in the face of the lizard with the net launcher. She swings her axe, but astonishingly her aim is off and the weapon passes harmlessly over the short creature's head. Still, it's enough to put some pause in their eagerness to fight someone capable of fighting back.

NPC's: Trandoshan w/ Net Launcher
Stunned by the Wookiee's sudden advancement, the shorter (and less intelligent) Trandoshan becomes nervous, slings his weapon into firing position, and fires his electronet at engaged range. While they have may lack in intelligence, their equipment is of significantly above-average quality. The results of his quick-triggered action has both triumphant and dire consequences!!!
In his rush to (opportunistically) net his prey, the shorter trandoshan fires his net launcher quickly at Lanna but inadvertently hits his nearby partner instead!!! Lanna finds herself in an opportunistic situation (for the moment) as the Trandoshan falls prone from firing such an unbalanced, cumbersome weapon (encum 6).

NPC's: Trandoshan w/ Firelance
The taller trandoshan is INFURIATED by his partner's incompetent aim!!! Shoot 'zem! Shoot 'zem BOTH!! ...he thinks to himself as he steps back, recklessly sets the weapon to autofire, and lets loose a torrent of blaster bolts at Lanna from his quick-triggered, heavily-personalized Firelance. He slows Lanna down a bit, but not enough to stop her.

NPC's: The Weequay
A group of Weequay (4) are obviously working in tandem with the Trandoshans. They advance through the remaining pedestrians to assault the Wookiee's allies. "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!
SCRAM!!!!!"...they shout as they step forward wielding stun batons. They run through the group, assaulting Kzar as they go. Running too quickly, then end up passing the group, standing between Lanna/Tran 1&2 and the group.(1 threat: lose benefit of prior maneuver). Kzar gets the worst of it.

It all happens so fast, but once Vesper sees the Trandoshans and Weequay attack, she activates her shock gloves and lunches at the Trandoshan with the firelance.

Re: "UPRISING" IC (Life on Hoth)
Kzar twirls away from the Weequay as one of their batons clips his shoulder, he grunts with the slight pain but is nontheless ready to blast the Weequay into little wrinkly bits. His compatriots seemed to be taking care of the Trandoshan so it was time to take out his backup, Kzar fired both blasters landing several shots on teh Weequay as tehy desprately tried to dodge, but at such close range they could not manage it.

What Kzar once heard about Weequay rings true, they are tough opponents. One of his blasts hits one in the chest and causes one Weequay to reel back, nearly toppling him. The Captain fires his trusty blaster and also hits home several times, dropping two Weequay where they stand.

Lanna roars and on her backswing completely severs the arm the lizard was using to fire his weapon. The stroke continues on into the weapon itself, heavily damaging it.
