I would like to use streetwise, to learn about who she works with, what rivals she has, that sort of thing.

Edit: does that change the dice pool? add a couple of setback? Or increase difficulty?

Well, Mayellen is beelining for the medical store and purchasing 100 more stimpacks.

Enzo lands the Mynock. The haggling ends with creds being handed over amidst claims of 'robbery' and 'extortion'. Standard procedure. Enzo leaves with the clear pretence of having been swindled, then checks his account for that advance being cleared funds.

"Meet back here in two hours? Good luck... Please try not to kill anyone... Or get arrested."

And with that he departs to find a new shirt and put his ear to the ground in a local cafe. Over a strong caf he gets talking to the delicate looking Rodian girl serving him about the recent rumours surrounding the Zann Consortium...

" Ah, but Enzo killing people is what makes life around here fun. I'm gonna go find a armoury someplace. Be back sometime."

Finding out about the Z.C. 3eA+2eD: 1 success [3eA=A, A/A, S] [2eD=Th, Th/Th]

streetwise works fine

What do people know about the the women in blue...

You know her name is Venlana Sipal. She's a mid-level Z.C. operative who's native to the planet. She's a good face and can be friendly but much likely any other viper, don't let her fool you into thinking that she's a push over. If shes here, then the job is serious.

Head to meet the women or go another path?

Well how about that piece of leverage Plo was looking for. Can that Triumph dig a little dirt up on Venlana? Perhaps a name of someone she owes a favour to? If so its a Caamasi by the name of Turtuk who is a "Respectable" business man (read weapons smuggler). The Advantage would be to make sure she doesn't know Plo is digging around.

After Ren goes shopping he walks around the town and activates the survallince taggers he put on everyone and finds the one he put on Plo. He then walks around in order to get to where Plo is grumbling all the time about how stupid it is that Plo saved him.

Enzo buys a simple brown shirt, then stops at a foods wholesaler to arrange for fresh water and dehydrated food packs to be delivered to the Mynock. Nothing huge, about a hundred creds worth. Enough we don't starve if we have to leave in a hurry...

Then he heads back to the ship to meet the others, shower, and try on his new shirt.

Mayellen comes back to the ship, her chest filled with bandoleers of Stimpacks upon Stimpacks, a look of glee on her face, this is the closest thing to a ****-eating grin she can make, "I can't believe they had 100 Stimpacks, now we're ready for any fight!"

Enzo puts his face in his hands, bath towel still draped over his head.

"I'm going to die," he mumbles.

"Not of a gunshot" Plo says under his breath from over Enzo's shoulder.

"Nope, from shear embarresment, I won't allow any other way!" Mayellen exclaims once safely inside the ship.

"You know we wouldn't so many stimpacks if we just killed and beat people up before they shot at us." Ren says as he sees Mayellen. " What did everyone buy? I got some spikes for my and armor and had them sharpened and grafted on."

"I got stimpacks, lots of stimpacks," Mayellen says, stating the obvious, dumb with glee.

Triumph - You put out your feelers and you find far more dirt than you could ever use. Basically, you get to decide the price of the job as long as you stay reasonable. You know the offer is coming from a climber-someone who NEEDS to move up in the world. When you hit the table, if you lead with confidence and remind her how good you are, she's more than willing to let you do what you need to do at the price you need to do it. You also know she's got some serious backup somewhere. They and the lady are professionals though. You play ball nice, and they won't kill you. You pull a gun at the meeting or get handsy at the meeting, and you are not walking away.

Anyone shopping-The place has pretty much everything you'd expect from a decent settlement. You get what you want no problems as long as you don't do anything stupid. The stimpacks get some people to look twice, but your creds clear, so they shrug and let you take all your lawfully gotten gains. You might have more than your average hospital out here, but you DEFINITELY have more credits than your average hospital out here.

so, are all of you off to meet the lady, or do some hang back?

Plo is ready to meet her, feeling he has the leverage he needs.

I will go to meet her.

Going with the psychopaths to meet the lady, armed with cynical visions of disaster.

Ready to go and meet with the ZC.

You head off to the bar the women mentioned. It's the dive you all know it would be, lots of different people meeting, drinking, and looking for their bounty to be here or their bounty's bounty. In either case as you enter, you see the women, she sees you, and she motions you over to her table. You easily see the heavies at the bar, a far seat, and another table close by who will be doing the damage should these negotiations turn hostile.

As you come to the table, she stands, shakes each persons hand, and says Greetings. It's good to see you in person. I thought this day would never come. Your reputation certainly precedes you. Let us get to business. While some losses in transit are expected and accounted for, the Zann Consortium's shipments have been unusually beset by pirates of late. After some investigation, we have uncovered the identity of these criminals-a band of brigands referred to as the 'Veiled Sorority.' Despite the name, it does not discriminate by gender, or even species. However only females are permitted to assume positions of leadership within the organization.

We are interested in bringing this band of pirates to its knees. to do this, we are issuing a bounty for its leader, referred to as the 'Queen.' Beyond her title, we have been unable to procure any concrete data on her identity, location, or background. Should you agree to take the contract, it will be your responsibility to bring her to our justice, dead or alive, with proof that it is indeed the Queen that you deliver. Do you have any questions?
