[OOM] Transimir Station.

[stuck_mynock]

Docking Bay Three is as large as a small town. Larger, perhaps. It's massively wide and tall, many-tiered, with rows upon rows of landing pads and towers connected by a vast network of interconnecting bridges, that go up as far as the eye can follow.

There are shops here, and cantinas, for those just getting out or preparing to get into their ships, and at least a dozen exits and entrances scattered around the levels.

The escape pod goes gliding through the containment field and crashes down on the lowest level, spinning as it goes. It's lucky it's well-cushioned and padded, really - with no proper way to land, a controlled crash is the best Guppy and Will could've hoped for.

Nevertheless, it eventually comes to a stop, down at the base of several towers. This lowest level doesn't have many people - it's mostly droids hurrying about to do maintenance, with a few ships that look like they've seen better days.

Gunther just grunts.

Guppy gets up and moves away with Will.

"Do you think there might be a library here with pictures of species in or something?"

[will_scarlett]

Looking around the market, Will notes that honestly they're not too hard to tell apart,

"Think we'll be fine, dinna worry."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Okay, can you see anyone fluffy or boney?" Guppy asks. "Or better a fluffy person with a boney person."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, think so, look o'er near those lanterns."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

One of the people near the lanterns is indeed very fluffy. The other one, however, is not so bony - They have something resembling a stark white exoskeleton that covers a great deal of their body, but a turn and a shift in the lighting reveals that it isn't bone, as such.

Guppy nods to Will, then goes over.

"Er, hi there. We're producing a new cultural guide to the universe, and I was just wondering if I could ask what species you are please?"

He is unsure whether this is a good plan, or whether it will get his nose broken. But it was the only plan he could think of.

[will_scarlett]

So Will stands beside him and looks like his bodyguard since he can do that.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Bothan," the fluffy one says, "and she's a Orellian."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Thank you very much." Guppy says politely, beating a retreat.

"Okay, so a fluffy and a bony person who don't look like those two."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, was worth a try though."

[guppy_sandhu]

"I was a little worried they might think I was insulting them."

[will_scarlett]

"Dinna think so, an now we know one type na to look for."

The market is large and Will starts scanning it again.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Maybe we should move away from the market, it sounds like these guys might be laying low."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, need to find out where the more criminal types 'ide out."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Bar?"

[will_scarlett]

Will nods towards a slightly well lit corridor off the market,

"Let's try there."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy follows him, sticking close.

[will_scarlett]

As they move into the darker section, the outlaw in Will that has been just under the surface is clearer now.

The sword at his side might not be a common weapon but he is a dangerous man.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy glances at Will's grim expression.

"Are you okay?" he asks, squeezing his shoulder.

[will_scarlett]

The squeeze makes Will turn and give Guppy a quick smile,

"Oh aye."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Don't worry, we'll find him."

[will_scarlett]

"Know we will an if 'e knows Atton probably better luck findin' 'im round 'ere."

"Hey!" The bartender, a heavy set, heavily-tattooed woman calls. "You guys going to order or what?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh, sorry." Guppy gets some credits out. "Do you have any forms of non-alcoholic fruit juice?"
