"Agreed." he winced slightly as he bit the edge of his tongue, just a little loose, "Besides I didn't drink a paralytic poison last night, or since the start of this trip."

Resealing the bottle he looked at the work that Halon had accomplished, "Nice. At least I'll make it to a medic if you know where to find one on planet, maybe the others know. I would recommend that we do a quality substitute for the weapons we used and make sure to put everything back on our boat before sinking her. Plus lets bring the bottles as a bonus to the pad." His attempts at adding that were probably hindered by his look of consternation as he sorted out his body as it worked through the toxin. A nice feeling, an old feeling, one he had missed since having to go 'dry' for this mission. Something no booze could replace.

Glancing down at his bottle he looked back up at Halon, "Sorry about that. Did you want some?" he asked tapping with a finger the bottle paralytic, "Not the best vintage but definately has a nice tingle going down."

"Did you want some? Not the best vintage but definitely has a nice tingle going down."

Halon's brow raised behind his mask. "A swig of deadly neurotoxin? Thank you, but no, I do believe I will pass."

Had that been any other agent besides Ryn, he thought soberly, they would not even be talking right now.

"If you feel well enough, we can make it back to the Empress and see a med droid there. It will likely be the best way to avoid any unwanted questions. Are you ready to hot wire another yacht now?"

Getting up was painful but he leaned on Halon a bit to ease his standing before taking to the console. "Let's see what tricks or traps this baby has in unlocking her enough to drive."

As he pulled out his lock pick he mumbled, "As for doctors I don't know how to get back on board without being able to explain this or to keep a doctor quiet that I am not what I appear to be. Especially the electonic ones connected to the ships mainframe."

Once again, Salek Zaron had invested in some decent security for his luxury racing yacht, but the system was no match for Ryn. Given that the only other person within kilometers was currently being digested, there was little need to hide evidence of his tampering, allowing Ryn to dig into the control panel at will. There he made a surprising discovery- the ship's silent alarm was active, and had apparently been broadcasting along a certain comm frequency for quite some time...

Disabling it, he quickly rewired the system, bypassing the standard ignition code in favor of a simple start-up sequence. There didn't seem to be any traps or anything that would stop him from activating it and piloting the vessel to wherever he felt they needed to go...

OOGM: Going to need some sort of decision from the other agents aboard the Empress if you're going to set out in search of a restaurant with whatever it is that Hutts eat.

"The first candidates that come to mind are the Starlight Lounge - for it being the high-end and possible location of wealthy crime lords. The second... the Arboretum - a possible location of a hutt trying to feel at home back in the swamp. And the third... there was the seedier cantina. What was it, someone's Liquids?"

"Lars' Liquids." Markus replied, picking up the Spot-On Locator again. It really was such a handy little device. "Of course, if we're looking for Hutts specifically, wouldn't it just be easier to do a Locator search for Hutt restaurants? They're not likely to get live grub at a regular place, after all."

"Wait," the surprised zeltron replied to Markus, "it can do that?" Stent suddenly became animated. "Of course it can! Well, do not just sit there, man! Punch it in! Search! Search for anything and everything that is specific to Hutts, all accommodations that this vessel has made for them!" Stent was literally sitting at the edge of his seat, staring at the Locator in Markus's hand in anticipation of its response. If this little device provides anything, Stent had certainly underestimated it and they would have to put it to more use.

Indeed, there was a search function on the locator. With nothing to really lose, Markus did a search for "Hutt restaurants", and to his surprise, it worked. Well, it was turning up results... a handful of them, at any rate. But with names like the the Hungry Hutt, the Gorg Grill and even the Hutt Hut, his instincts were telling him that these might not be the best place to search for a being with an ear (or biologically equivalent organelle) to the underworld. No, it wasn't his instincts, it was the fact that the Hungry Hutt was billed as "a buffet for galactic appetites" and the Hutt Hut was apparently some sort of confectionery run by a being who apparently had no problem conflating the ideas of "Hutt" and "sweetness". Apparently somewhere along the way his search had gotten into tourist-y family attractions. No self-respecting Hutt would be there. And since your average underworld Hutt was very concerned about self-respect, it was time to try a different approach.

Thinking like a Hutt, he was forced to ask himself... what would a Hutt search for? The answer was obvious- whatever the Hutt wanted. Being somewhat locomotively impaired and prone to drawing attention, a Hutt might be just as well served by sending an aide to fetch a specific meal as it would attending the restaurant in the flesh. What if he tried to find a restaurant that served something unusual that a Hutt might like to eat... something like a... what were they called? Paddy frogs?

He entered the term. This time, a different set of results came up, with only a single suggestion (well, two if he counted the offer of room service). The Chuodana- a restaurant that exclusively catered to those who, in the restaurant's terms "enjoyed the freshest dining possible aboard the Empress of the Stars". This was the sort of restaurant for those who preferred their dinners to be still wriggling as it disappears down their throats.

Strange that it hadn't appeared in his earlier search.

"As for doctors I don't know how to get back on board without being able to explain this or to keep a doctor quiet that I am not what I appear to be. Especially the electronic ones connected to the ships mainframe."

"Doctor-patient privilege?" Halon offered uncertainly after wracking his mind for some sort of solution. He watched Ryn disable Zaron's alarm. Clearly the cur must have had a remote on him to trigger it while underwater.

"We do not need any more trouble here. Lets transfer our flag back to the Crystal Wake and head for the shore."

Markus held up the Locator so that everyone on the room could see the screen, but leaning back a little out of reach. He was a little put out by Stent's earlier enthusiasm. It was unprecedented. Normally everyone was just 'Make the magic box work faster, Markus'. It was refreshing to be appreciated.

"There you go- The Chuodana. Everything that a hungry slug could need."

He turned the Locator around again and brought up a map showing them how to get there.

"Now we just need to think of an excuse to go- I don't know how many of you lot like paddy frogs, but personally I'm not keen."

Leaning back further in the chair, Boz absent mindedly ran a hand through his hair.
"That is the question, isn't it? How to maintain our cover whilst looking into these places. I suppose the simple answer is that we can't."
He stood and went over to where Markus had the results of the search.
"But we'll have to find something. Where else would the hutts go on the ship apart from this restaurent?"

"Sounds like a plan, although I never trusted that privelage unless I was an IDless cur only in need of poison treatments." With that he set about getting them to do just as they had set out to do.

OOGM: I'm going to need some clarification as to what you guys are actually going to do aboard Zaron's yacht. What stuff are you taking over to the Wake, how are you getting there and what are you doing about the yacht once you've left it?

OOC: 1) For Halon's part he'll bring along everything they took onto the yacht plus the thermal detonators. 2) Ryn is steering, he knows where he sent the ship. 3) Halon will use a detonator to sink Zaron's yacht after they've left.

Stent Kannat

What a wonderful piece of technology that locator is, thought Stent as he clapped his hands satisfactorily when Markus showed the results.

His satisfaction quickly turned to slight confusion after Boz suggested going somewhere other than the restaurant.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," interrupted Stent, shaking his head. "We have plenty of reason to walk into that establishment: our cover. We are trying to find investors, are we not? Customized speeders sounds like something a hutt would do, if you ask me. Alright, so things did not go so smoothly with our lovely companion back on the gaming floor, but I can tell that she is an exceptionally sharp individual. We will have to be on our guard and chose our words wisely, but remember, criminals do like the color of credits, and that is what we are trying to sell."

"Now, we do have another option," Stent continued, his voice more incredulous. "We can change our cover to something more believable and enticing, maybe along the lines of our first one. But, I think we are stuck with it. We already gave Mirana the line. I want to say we can trust her, but of course we cannot. What if she just happens to be working for one of the kajidics?"

Stent sighed. "Why did I even bring that up? We are committed. We should walk right in and make our sale. Now how we change the subject from speeders to criminal syndicates, that may have to be something we work on the fly."
