SPEAKER_05 1:29

The war between the Republic and the Separatist rages on. With no end in sight, both sides look to desperate measures to end the conflict. After a heated battle with the Dark Jedi Ages Volnero, Jedi Padawan Malia has been captured by a bounty hunter known only as the Hound. With Malia frozen in Carbonite, Jedi Knight Dalen Gult moves to rescue her before her shipment off-world. We're listening to chapter 17 of the Book of Dalen Gult. The Book of Dalen Gult stars Rob Hunter as Dalen Gult, Justin Chapman as Credo, Richard Capasil as Kanari, Hayden Castle as Q Rock, and myself Zack Somm as the Galaxy Master.

SPEAKER_01 2:09

Hayden! Question of the day. Question of the day. What is your ship for the Star Wars universe? Two characters that you would love to see in a relationship. Even though they would never be together.

SPEAKER_06 2:22

I thought we were talking about starships. I'm wildly disappointed now. Make it two different starships that you wish would breed.

SPEAKER_05 2:28

Oh, I think they should um combine the X-Wing and a Y-wing, and I think they call it the Ugly X.

SPEAKER_02 2:35

That's kind of sick. That's amazing. Why did you have that ready so fast?

SPEAKER_05 2:39

There is a ship called the Ugly X.

SPEAKER_02 2:41

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_05 2:42

And it's it's literally an X-wing combined in something else, but I can't remember what it is. Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 2:49

Like Dream Couple?

SPEAKER_06 2:52

I'm just thinking of mine.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

I think that's how you came to be. Oh my gosh. Wait. That's how you know you've made it. When we go online one day and we find like Kanari and Dalen porn. Yeah. Don't shiver. It's beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

We know where the season's going. Um actually, I think I thought of an even cuter couple. Um the uh Rancor and a Wampa. Yes, correct. That'd be such a cute couple.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

And based on Richard's shiver, I'm now going to change my answer to Kanari and Dalen.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Great answers.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

Thank you. Okay. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

So you heard it, fans. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 4:01

Dream should Alpatine and R2D2.

SPEAKER_02 4:07

R2D2's little like plugin arm goes right in his buttons, and then Palpatine yells unlimited power.

SPEAKER_05 4:19

So last time we played. Yeah. You guys pretty much had a downtime episode to heal with your wounds. You spoke with Radar, had some interpersonal conflict. Actually, not so much conflict. It was mostly just reveals. Yeah, shared a lot. A lot of buddies. Yep. Episode ended with Dalen um using his far seeing force ability to spy or scry on Malia. And you have discovered that she is likely on the same planet as you, and she was frozen in carbonite.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

So as soon as I snap out of the trance, I am going to run over the group. Everyone, Kanari! Everyone come here. I managed to get a glimpse of of Malia. What did you see? Sandstorm. Some she was with some other armored individuals, possibly Mandalorian. I think sh she's definitely still on world. She's here. They froze her in some kind of packaging device, it seemed. She's almost m preserved in a way. Held in prison I've not seen before. Would the average person know about freezing and carbonate? Carbonite. It's I assumed it based on the fact that an empire seems experimental. I assume it's super common.

SPEAKER_05 5:34

It is not super common, and it's definitely not designed for people. It's meant to store minerals. Specifically, I meant I believe it's meant to store gas.

SPEAKER_07 5:45

Really? Oh.

SPEAKER_05 5:46

It's how they transport so. Best bin in the Empire Strikes Back. Makes sense. That's basically this big old. It's a bat gas giant, and the gas itself is Tabana gas. And the Empire uses Tabana gas to create the lasers in their guns. Oh. But in order to transport it, they have to freeze it.

SPEAKER_02 6:05

That's fascinating.

SPEAKER_05 6:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:07

She I can only. I can only assume she's alive. They wouldn't go through all this just to kill her.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

No, that wouldn't make any sense. Um. She's gotta be. Have you ever heard of such a thing, Credo? It doesn't sound like something you'd find in a spaceport, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

She was surrounded by people that look like bounty hunters.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

She's probably at the bounty hunter guild.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

Would it be reasonable that a smuggler would be familiar with carbonite because it transports gas?

SPEAKER_05 6:34

I would say they would have an advantage on knowing about it, but they wouldn't necessarily know about it.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

I'm going for it. Spin that dice. Ooh. 19?

SPEAKER_05 6:43

Yeah, you're good. You know about it.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

It sounds to me like it's carbonite. Used to usually smuggle gas, but uh, I guess you could use it to smuggle a person if you wanted to keep them docile. It also means I may not be able to reach out to her again.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

It's also not very cozy, so we probably gotta get to her quick. Alright. How's the storm looking? I'm gonna turn out the window.

SPEAKER_05 7:07

It's starting to die down. I mean, it was starting to die down at the end of the last episode, so I'm gonna say it's maybe halfway down. It's starting to come to a close. It's you can start you can actually see the street now.

SPEAKER_04 7:18

Ridon, is does this look like something walkable?

SPEAKER_00 7:23

If it was an emergency, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:25

I'd call this an emergency.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

Yeah, I like our chances now more than earlier.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

Grido, can you get us to this guild? Do you know where it is? They know exactly where it is. Alright, gather your things. Ridar, we won't forget what you've done for us. No problem. We have no communication, but we're communicators, but if we come across your path again, we will be in your debt. Either way, we will be in your debt. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you. Thank you, Ridar. How are you looking, Credo?

SPEAKER_03 8:00

I'm half healed.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:02

Um Credo, do you think you're okay to leave? I think I have no other choice. We we have no other choice but to leave right now. I can agree with that.

SPEAKER_04 8:15

I'm going to take a second to take the hood of the executioner's hood on and like lay it over my head as like cover and as like a reminder of ghoul.

SPEAKER_02 8:28

And I'll take just that ragged hand-me-down duster that was in the closet and put that back on. Cinch it with like whatever scrappy little belt was on it so that my robes are kind of covered up.

SPEAKER_03 8:40

Is everyone ready?

SPEAKER_01 8:41

QRock puts on his hat, pulls it low, pops the collar of his duster, and gives you a nod.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

Everyone's good. As ever. I would like to go save my sister Malia.

SPEAKER_06 8:53

I think we're we're gonna be staying around a little here, a little longer. Yo Yo, what?

SPEAKER_03 8:58

She's my sister, and I would like to go save her.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

Well, this just got a little more complicated.

SPEAKER_04 9:05

I I don't understand I thank you for telling us now, but you Malia's been in the order for since she was young.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

I don't understand.

SPEAKER_04 9:16

To be fair, we don't know a lot about him.

SPEAKER_03 9:19

She was taken from my family a long time ago. And I would like to get her back. You knew this when we came to you at first. Not at first. I didn't know who she was you were talking about at first, but it has become clear now.

SPEAKER_04 9:36

Did you find out when we met the hound? Yes. Kinari's gonna give him like a real stiff glare. You've known this entire time. We've been searching for information on her, and you've known this entire time.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

I have known. My name is Namet. Namet of House Nexus. And I would like to save my sister, Malia. Of House Nexus.

SPEAKER_02 10:06

That sounds you nobility.

SPEAKER_04 10:09

Can I do a knowledge of galactic lore check? Good call.

SPEAKER_05 10:13

22. So you would know that there are very few monarchies that remain. One of them is Naboo, which actually does elect their monarch. Another one is uh Alderon. And they actually do have houses. Those like all the nobilities are members of different houses. And they, I believe they do elect their king or queen, but it is they are elected from the nobility. Like the leader of the house are the only candidates. There are a number of houses. There's probably 20 to 30 different houses or nobil noble houses on Alderon.

SPEAKER_04 10:47

So you're from Alderon Nobility?

SPEAKER_02 10:52

Yes. Alderon, where the hound seems bent on taking Malia.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

It would seem so.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

Well, hail the king then.

SPEAKER_04 11:04

As much as this comes as a shock, and as upsetting as this news is, I do appreciate your honesty.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

Well, I'm just trying to be more transparent. But it seems like you guys would like that. Creek Creed sorry, Namit.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

Call me what you wish. Credo. I can't say that I'm fond of the secrets, but I understand them. I've kept my fair share. I accused you of having other motives in this. And I had not considered that they were good. I think I owe you somewhat of an apology.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

Apology accepted. Now, let's get on the move.

SPEAKER_02 11:54

I that's so hard to process, because I trust you less and more. Yeah. So, where are we off to? If Credo knows where this guild is, I think we try to get there. If we catch them in time, wonderful. If not, then we get what information we can in Hedaldron. Let's go save us a princess, then. Let's go save us a Padawon. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 12:21

Give me a survival check to navigate the streets during the dust storm. With collective? Whoever wants to lead. I'll lead.

SPEAKER_01 12:28

Yeah, I'm name that's kind of his thing. I rolled the one, so not I said the main thing.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

Oh shit. It's a bad roll, but I got an ATM survival, so it's a 23.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Not sure if it applies, but it at least won't slow us down.

SPEAKER_05 12:44

Yeah. So you don't get there as quickly as you would like, but you do make yourself like you don't take any wrong turns. You find yourself right at the entrance to the this chapter of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

What do we expect inside? Are we to be welcome, do you think? It could go either way.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

I'm gonna make a stealth check on my uh lightsaber.

SPEAKER_01 13:05

Let's hurry up and get inside. This sand's annoying and it gets everywhere.

SPEAKER_05 13:11

So 17.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 13:14

So you approach a single-wide dura steel door, and as you get close to it, a hole in it, in the center of it, opens up. And a droid arm sticks out, one of those ones that has like an eyeball camera on it.

SPEAKER_07 13:30

Oh, that's so cool.

SPEAKER_05 13:32

It's gonna look to you, Dalen, and then look over to Credo. Look back to Dalen and then back at Credo.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

What business do you have here? We're here to check on bounties. Are you a bounty hunter? Yes, I am. Please recite your bounty hunter ID number.

SPEAKER_03 13:50

My bounty hunter ID number is 4916 11.

SPEAKER_05 14:00

Zero. Is that actually your number? You better write that shit down. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Write it down. Someone write it down.

SPEAKER_04 14:11

I've already forgotten it.

SPEAKER_03 14:13

Me too.

SPEAKER_05 14:16

Credo, you are 5,000 credits behind on your dues. Yeah, yeah, that's correct.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

Do you have 5,000 credits to pay your dues? I do. I would like to come inside and pay that.

SPEAKER_05 14:30

So a terminal is gonna come out of the wall next to it, and it's basically got a place to put your like chip card. You can also tap if you would like.

SPEAKER_02 14:39

Tap it? Kanari has that one busted old debit card.

SPEAKER_03 14:43

Is this for my canon?

SPEAKER_04 14:46

Is this for me to pay now? You have a busted credit card. Okay. I well, I don't know exactly how many are on here, but just use it.

SPEAKER_05 14:55

Put it in. Gruel, how many are on there? It can't be the amount you got invested from the company.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

Yeah, there's no way. I'm just thinking, like. This is probably a card. Uh since it wouldn't have any of that, I'm imagining it was in like a spare pocket of just like some of the clothes I brought. It's probably from my pastime. I was never the most if it wasn't obvious, I was never terribly flush before I had that big deal. Um, so there's probably not 5,000 on there for sure. There might be like 1,500, maybe 2,000 if you're lucky.

SPEAKER_05 15:27

Roll a D4. A D4? A one? It has a thousand credits on it. So you put the chip in, Kanari, and it's gonna ding, and it's gonna say approved, and it's gonna send a receipt, and uh you pull the card back out. Your balance remains at 4,000 credits. Hmm.

SPEAKER_04 15:48

Is it's a droid, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

I was already thinking that.

SPEAKER_04 15:54

Who has the better?

SPEAKER_03 15:55

Well, I would like to come in to pay the remaining amount. Can I do that? Why can you not pay here?

SPEAKER_02 16:01

I am going to reach over and like grab not yeah, I'm gonna grab uh Kirak by the shoulder and kind of pull him in front of the eye. And I am going to try. We're meeting a contact here. The remainder of the credits will be paid when the bounty is complete. And then I'm gonna give you kind of like a a shove back to where you're standing. Make a deception. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 16:29

We just gotta get inside. Twenty-three? So the droid the eyeball is gonna turn and look at you. And it's gonna close. It's gonna go back into the door and shut. Sorry. And then the door opens.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

Oh. Thank you. Now, uh, Credo, where was it we were to meet the contact? We must have something in your eye. Sand, this damn storm. Inside to the left. Skits everywhere. Just keep repeating that fucking line. Let's go in and we'll find out. I'm gonna gesture my hand out for you to lead the way. Alright, I'm gonna put my one arm behind my back. I'll kind of like hand on your shoulder, kind of like walk behind you. It's the best I got. So as you're a team player.

SPEAKER_05 17:20

As you enter this chapter of the guild, you are in a dark hallway that's lit by red lights. It goes down straight for about 50 feet and then it turns to a hard right. And then another hard left. As you get to this straightaway, on your right, you're gonna find a cantina area that's completely empty. It keeps going down, and you're gonna find what looks to be like an armory. Or a um, yeah, I guess it would be an armory. And then on the left, there is an elevator that heads down.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Can I have a quick description of how much of the building you saw on the outside? Specifically, I'm trying to see if I can piece together the window I saw from the inside in my vision to see if there's a part of this building that has bay windows similar. Like, is there like uh uh buildings up like uh floors up high that might have one of those windows?

SPEAKER_05 18:14

This part of the city is built along a cliff face. Okay. So in theory, on the back of the building, going down, there would be also more windows. But it's only about two stories tall.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

Let's go down. We're looking for a room with a bay window. Possibly overlooking the cliffs. I cliff, I think we need to get to the back. Okay, there's an elevator back there. Have you been to this place before, or are they similar? I've been here.

SPEAKER_03 18:41

Not many times, but I've been here. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 18:43

Then we continue to follow you.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

So, are you gonna take them to the elevator? Yes. You guys are gonna head down into the elevator. The door opens, and it is another darkened hallway. Small red lights kind of dot it. And as you go down, you can hear water dripping from somewhere, but you can't tell, like you can't see any. And the room widens up, and you see seven Mandalorians dead on the ground. In the center, you find the carbonite freezing mechanism.

SPEAKER_04 19:18

We're too late. Let's before we get too rash, let's check the bodies, see how they were killed.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

Is the uh room empty besides the bodies? I mean, like of people. Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna pull my arm out from behind my back and ready my weapon.

SPEAKER_04 19:33

Can I check the bodies to see how they were killed? They were all shot. They were all shot. Yep. From the looks of it, it doesn't look like it came from our old friend Aegis.

SPEAKER_02 19:44

Are there other exits in here? No. I'm gonna stay by the door. Can I close it? Okay, then I'm gonna close the door and stand on the other side. Oh god, I was gonna say, can I try to reach out with the force and sense force sensitive individuals?

SPEAKER_05 20:02

Sure.

SPEAKER_01 20:03

I'll have to look up the mechanic because I'd fucking 20! So name it, what do you make of all this?

SPEAKER_03 20:12

It looks like we lost our target for now. But that doesn't mean that they're far behind. Or far ahead of us.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

You got any clues?

SPEAKER_03 20:23

Hmm. I say we look around. I'm not quite sure where they were one to take her. Can we all do an investigation, Chuck?

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Sure. That's not a stat.

SPEAKER_04 20:38

It's not.

SPEAKER_05 20:38

No, it's um.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Survival? That's part of like Auntie Hunter.

SPEAKER_05 20:44

No, it's actually I think gather information.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Gather information.

SPEAKER_05 20:47

It's either gather info or perception.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

It's a charisma chip. They're both charisma, which is a weird one.

SPEAKER_05 20:53

Gather information is supposed to be talking to people.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

That makes sense, I guess. I think it's just what I meant as weird is that there's no like logical investigatory skill.

SPEAKER_01 21:02

I got an 11.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

I imagine while you guys are doing this, I'm trying to reach out. See if I can censor within.

SPEAKER_05 21:10

Namet, would you roll?

SPEAKER_03 21:11

I got 12. 29.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

30. Come. Oh, Jesus. I assumed while they're doing this, I am instead trying to reach out and sense uh Malia, because that's a full round action. I imagine what they're doing is probably similar, if not more.

SPEAKER_05 21:28

Kanari and Namat. You can tell that five of them were killed by blaster bolts from a pistol. And the other two were killed from a blaster bolt from a sniper rifle. Or at least a very high-powered rifle. Where was that person shot? Right in the dick.

SPEAKER_04 21:44

Given that we see they're from snipers, do we see where these holes are coming from?

SPEAKER_05 21:49

You do not see any holes. Even with the 30 investor or 30 perception. She point blank those shots. This is definitely the hound's work. Yeah, they don't have like a scorch mark on armor. There's like a six-inch diameter hole in their chest. Gotcha. So, like, literally, someone took a sniper rifle to someone's chest.

SPEAKER_04 23:49

Yeah. Blopped them.

SPEAKER_02 23:52

So as they're looking around, I don't know if I missed it because I was looking at the rules. Did I sense any force users? The only one you would is Malia.

SPEAKER_05 24:01

Did you sense her? I that's the thing I don't know. Is I don't know if the carbonite would stop you from sensing her.

SPEAKER_02 24:07

What do I mean? You don't need to tell me if if I just don't sense her.

SPEAKER_05 24:10

Okay. You you don't sense any. You don't sense any force users within a kilometer. Fuck.

SPEAKER_02 24:17

I You bitch. Well. They might have I mean. It also I I he might be saying that because she's outside of a mile if they get to their ship.

SPEAKER_04 24:26

I'm talking shit because I'm a force user that's within like There's absolutely no one significant within a mile.

SPEAKER_02 24:35

You sense none of them matter.

SPEAKER_05 24:37

One of them is a force user within a kilometer, and they're right next to you.

SPEAKER_07 24:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 24:41

They have a dark side scorp two.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

Malia, I found you. Force. Hold me. Oh. Oh, not don't hold me there, Rich. Jeez. Oh. Oh, wait, yeah, hold me there. Okay. Alright, guys, we'll be right back after the short break.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

Stay with us. We'll be right back.

Well, if we want to make haste still, I believe we got one more place to look, right?

SPEAKER_02 26:51

We know well, I have every reason to believe she was taking her to Alderon. Which, not sure what connections you have there, it sounds like plenty. Credo. I got a couple there. We going straight to Alderon, or didn't we want to look for the white onyx first? I guess find a council, see if we can find out anything. If it was docked here, perhaps. Or checked in, perhaps, if we could find out. Is there a way to find out if there's more info on this bounty where it would be delivered? Who placed it even?

SPEAKER_03 27:27

There may be a place that has all the documents for each bounty. I know there's probably a specific room. I don't know exactly where inside this specific place it that it is, but we can look. But there are some bounties that are just not spoken about. And that could be for Malia.

SPEAKER_02 27:56

Karak, Kanari, do you think do we spend any more time here or do we leave?

SPEAKER_04 28:03

Someone something tells me that Malia's bounty would be something we're not gonna find here. I think we should head to our ship and try to get to the other dock. So if we need a speedy retreat, we're right there to leave.

SPEAKER_02 28:23

I like the way you think. I'm concerned that once we get to Alderon, finding a single ship will be like a needle in a haystack.

SPEAKER_04 28:31

Knowing that Malia is a nexus, though, narrows that haystack down a bit. It does.

SPEAKER_01 28:40

Yeah. I mean, there's a I mean if she is nobility, it's gotta be one of the houses, right?

SPEAKER_04 28:45

It's either your house, I look to name it, or a rival house. Seeking to gain power of some sort. Or a bargaining chip, I should say.

SPEAKER_02 28:58

Your house in such disrepair that they would place poverties on each other.

SPEAKER_03 29:03

I haven't been there in a while. But the possibility of both situations could be true.

SPEAKER_05 29:10

Well, let's go. Alright, to our ship. Make a survival check to get through the storm.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Wait, you're the leader.

SPEAKER_04 29:19

Oh yeah. I'm not rolling.

SPEAKER_02 29:22

I'm gonna roll just to see if I'm better than that one. I should have rolled. Should have let There it is. The white onyx.

SPEAKER_05 29:33

You wander the streets of Navarro and you end up at a starport. It's not the starport you parked at, but it is a starport.

SPEAKER_03 29:39

Uh this this is not the one I was looking for. What do you mean? I kinda got lost. It's a little bit sandy out there.

SPEAKER_04 29:48

This seems to be the place we're headed, though. I just I'm not sure if we want to head into a fight where we don't have an easy way out.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

Well, in two rockets and Big Toothy Grin. Let's evaluate our risk, shall we? I think we can potentially find something out. Worse comes to worse. I got faith in us to make a getaway. I'll take that gamble. How about the rest of y'all? Think it's worth it.

SPEAKER_02 30:15

I mean, we've come this close before. I don't want to let her go again. I think we have to trust in the force. Yeah. Force, something like that. Okay. Is this seem to be a well-traveled starport? Lots of things. It seems it well, it seems mostly commercial. Okay. I think we should move in quietly. As quietly as we can. I agree. Okay. Okay. Stealth rolls. Just as this.

SPEAKER_01 30:50

Sixteen. Which one? Six. Sixteen. Seventeen. Canari farted. Eight. Eight. What was the die? Two. Two. Before we head in, I just got one bright idea. Now, the hound knows me, but I'm guessing you guys got a little bit of a different relationship with the hound. Only in passing. It was fast, it was violent. You think she would recognize you? It's possible. Doubtful. She knows you're out for her her bounty? Maybe. Because she definitely knows I'm not out for her bounty. All she knows about me is I I want my goddamn arm back. So I think I if I took point and got notice first, that would cause the least amount of panic in them. I believe we met before, right?

SPEAKER_02 31:35

Yeah. Unfortunately. I mean, if you don't mind, I think that's a great idea. You got a partner. I'm gonna take point as we head out.

SPEAKER_05 31:46

I got 12 ult gets there. So you guys head in, and there's really not that much security going on. It's a commercial port, so it's mostly people just moving crates in and out. Um you would see in the individual ports, like there's a customs check, but there's no like arm guards around. Can we do a perception check to find the ship? Yep. Oh, that's another 30. A commercial port is considerably larger than a civilian port. You're gonna spend probably 45 minutes to an hour searching the port, looking for this docking bay, and you will come across the white onyx, and it is a modified YT 2400 freighter. It's like if you took the circular part from the Millennium Falcon. It doesn't have those prongs on the front, right? It doesn't have the prongs on the front, and then its cockpit is on the other side, and the cockpit's way longer. It's like the same length as the circle part, and it's connected by two tubes.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Like it extends out like a tube?

SPEAKER_05 32:47

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:48

Where do I know that ship from? Shadows of the Empire.

SPEAKER_02 32:51

That's what it is. Okay. It's Dash Rendar ship. Yeah, that's what's going on.

SPEAKER_01 32:54

Alright. And so I'm me taking point. Can I sneak in and get close?

SPEAKER_05 32:58

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 32:59

What did you have as yo? 17.

SPEAKER_05 33:01

You walk in, you get close. The ramp is down.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

Uh, any movement, any life?

unknown 33:06

Nope.

SPEAKER_01 33:07

Alright. So I'm gonna like do like a hand gesture for everyone else to like come closer.

SPEAKER_02 33:13

I'll keep sneaking, trying to get as close as possible whilst the main remaining like amongst crates and ships. I don't know how close that'll get me.

SPEAKER_04 33:23

Pretty close. Going to look over to Dalen and I'm gonna say, should I take point in the ship with you guys, or should I watch for anyone trying to exit or enter?

SPEAKER_02 33:33

I'd feel more comfortable with you up front.

SPEAKER_04 33:36

Alright. I'm gonna be like right behind you.

SPEAKER_05 33:39

So you head up the ramp.

SPEAKER_02 33:41

I'm gonna stay back in a spot close to the crates.

SPEAKER_05 33:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:45

Both a lookout and I guess lookout.

unknown 33:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:50

You're gonna head up the ramp and into the ship, and you're kind of greeted in a kind of a recreation area, a lounge. As you start to explore the ship, you're gonna find that the cockpit is empty, but that the controls have been started. When you head back to the storage area, you're gonna find five crates, three of them with gems and two of them with arms.

SPEAKER_02 34:12

God, you remember that ship so well. I had to write that down. I even just double checked that he was right. No slaves? Not that you find.

SPEAKER_01 34:21

So, as uh my experience goes in terms of smuggling, I'm guessing there's a secret compartment somewhere around here where they got somebody stored.

SPEAKER_04 34:30

I was just about to offer the same suggestion. Let's get looking then. Let's look. Perception?

SPEAKER_02 34:37

Perception for my rollout, for my uh lookout. Yeah. Man, I fucking suck at perception.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Another 30. Jesus. Thank you. Don't ask me to look in anything again. I got 21.

SPEAKER_05 34:47

I got a net one. Credo goes outside.

unknown 34:51

Fuck.

SPEAKER_05 34:52

You're gonna look around the ship and you are gonna find a single smuggling compartment in the floor.

SPEAKER_01 34:57

Told you, partner, and I give you a wing because I pop it open.

SPEAKER_04 35:00

This is the finale. Alright. Weapons drawn.

SPEAKER_05 35:05

Three, two, one. And I open it. You open it, and inside there is a human man on his back with two blaster pistols pointed at you.

SPEAKER_02 35:15

Oh shit! Fucking nutsack.

SPEAKER_05 35:18

unknown 36:27

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 36:28

Oh my god, look it up. So funny. That's the funniest thing I think. That's the ugly X. The ugly X.

SPEAKER_05 36:42

Out of character, I remember at the beginning of the campaign you telling me this. I did not remember it when you said it.
