[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.

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.

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

"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?"

[will_scarlett]

"Just an ale for me. Ye know anyone named o'Lagos Ren?"

Will drops a few extra credits onto the Bar.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nope. I know some people have been looking for him, though. The Exchange have had enforcers asking around for him, and I had a Kaleesh in here yesterday asking me about him. I'll tell you what I told them - I've never heard of the guy."

[guppy_sandhu]

"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.
