Farlain Tower

Dan flips on his commlink.  "Caden, we have something... we need to meet.  Where would you like to?"

[tomcat]

Dan's commlink replies, "We're at a dive called Skully's," Caden said. Noticing that a few pairs of eyes had turned his way when he had pulled out his comlink, Caden tried to look relaxed and spoke the last part far louder: "Yeah - good times down here. We're just getting started for the night; c'mon and join us for a couple-a drinks!"



[OOC:] From Caden in Wins and Losses...

A hint of disdain crept into the Rodian's voice. "A dive, is it? Well I suppose we have to meet somewhere. I've seen enough places like that to last a lifetime. It's the only way to avoid the roving eyes of our new empire." Brim was quiet for a moment, lost in thought. "It is a long shot, but perhaps the patrons of this establishment know of other Rodians in the area. There can't be that many of us around here."

"Don't be silly", thought Brim, shaking his head. "Of the billions of beings inhabiting this planet, there must be more than a few who are Rodians."

[OOC Just curious, but how sensitive would Brim's sense of smell be? From what he sensed in the room before, for example, could he recognize the same Rodian if he ever met him again?]

"Great! Have a couple waiting for us at the table so we can catch up," replied Dan, playing along.  Something was amiss, he could tell, so he didn't want to blow it for Caden.  He turned off his comlink.  "They must have followed a lead on Neja to that place by the sound of it.  We better get going."

OCC: If nothing else goes down, he'll call for the transportation that brought them and head to Skully's.

One of Senator Ranie's personal vehicles answered the call from Qinos, and the two left the apartment to quickly away. Dan gave the driver the name of the casino that Caden had told them and the speeder lifted into the main traffic lane and headed out of the more ritzy neighborhood to that of Bakura's working class.

Watching the two companions leave, the shadow atop the alternate tower zoomed in on both Qinos and Brim with his viewer, recording everything as he did. He took special notice of the Rodian... there weren't often alien races on Bakura, and Brim would stick out like a beacon.

The speeder rose into traffic and headed out of the downtown. Again the shadow recorded every detail about the transport - type, color, and identification markings. That done, the shape moved to put the camera away and pulled out a new piece of equipment. Pushing a button, the unit in his hands lit up two small repulsors and he extended to hand bars. The shadow put his backpack on, grabbed the repulsorlift and dangling below it, allowed it to lift him and then carry him across to Seelig's apartment building.

"Puk's gonna wanna know about the Rodian," was all he could think as he made the crossing.

After a fifteen minute ride, Brim watched the casino grow larger as the speeder flared into a landing.



[OOC:] You guys will now be part of the other group, but I will bring you into that thread when I determine the approximate time passage.
