[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.

"We're not out to cause him trouble, if that changes your answer at all."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, friend o'ours knows 'im is all."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Right. Well, I've still never heard of him. But here," she passes over two cards. One has a red logo on it, as well as a lot of Aurebesh writing, and one just has simple black writing. "Both the Exchange and the Kaleesh gave me contact cards for if I should find anything out. The Kaleesh was heading down to the lower levels, I think - Don't know whether he got a lead, or if he decided that since they're bigger and more chaotic, somebody hiding would probably be there."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Thank you." Guppy says, taking the card.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, thank ye."

Will finishes his ale before heading back out again with Guppy. Outside he nods to Guppy,

"Tis the best start we've found."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods.

"What are we going to do if these guys are trouble?" he asks, following a sign that points sort of downish.

[will_scarlett]

"Move quickly is all."

[guppy_sandhu]

"If they have found him, they're not going to want to hand him over..."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, na sure what to do 'rhaps if we can get 'im way for just a moment."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Maybe we could pretend he's infected with Attonrandovirus." Guppy says. "He might pick up the hint and realise we're here to help, and we could tell them to report to the hospital wing for urgent decontaminaton."

[will_scarlett]

"Sounds worth a try, aye."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Hang on, I've got a couple of surgical masks in my bag, we can put those on when we approach them to look more official."

He gets one out and passes it to Will, then pushes the button for the lift down.

[will_scarlett]

Will puts the mask on and gives another nod as they head down.

When the lift doors open, they open out onto a long, wide corridor that looks more than a little blank. There are doors at regular intervals, but very little else.

Well, there's one thing - a blue-purple computer terminal, just by the lift. There are pictures above it, and while scratched and worn, the images are still recognisable as more or less universal signs for 'look at maps, make calls, call lifts or watch holo-channels here.'

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy presses what he hopes is a 'Map' button and tries to have a look at the layout.

[will_scarlett]

Will peers over his shoulder,

"'rhaps should use the card thingy."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

A map shows up, consisting of hundreds of corridors forming what can only be described as a labyrinth. There's a red dot to mark where they are.

Next to the map, the 'make call' 'call lift' and 'watch holo' buttons flash, one by one, in bright, primary shades.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Card thing?" Guppy asks, pressing 'Watch Holo'.

[will_scarlett]

"That the tender gave us, might 'rhaps let us call those folks."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The 'Watch Holo' button just produces an image of a smiling woman, and some Aurebesh text.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh yeah, good point." Guppy prods the watch holo button again, to see if he can make it disappear, then presses 'Make Call'.

[will_scarlett]

Will waits, not really sure what else to do.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

A symbol flashes up on the screen, and in a corner of the terminal, a recepticle for a card flickers.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh good." Guppy gets out his own phone, photographs the card in case this goes wrong, then puts it in the thingy.

[will_scarlett]

As they call, Will looks around to make sure they're not getting any suspicious looks.
