A black market parts dealer on Dantooine claims to have a significant piece of tech that could prove to be invaluable to the defense effort. Yes. There's a high probability that this is a trap, but if we aren't willing to turn every stone right now, we'll be buried by our missed opportunities. Attached to this message are the coordinates for the meeting spot. I ran the numbers. It's a scrap yard on Dantooine. I recommend getting there early and building your exit first. Don't take any chances on this.
Be vigilant, be efficient, and get back safe.
Dantooine: 0700 hoursBe vigilant, be efficient, and get back safe.
The scrapyard was massive enough for at least four light freighters to be buried underneath the many different mounds of trash. It was surrounded by a massive fence with four large gates in the center of each wall. The scrapyard was empty of workers with only a dozen worker droids sorting out different pieces of trash to keep the scrapyard orderly. It was the perfect place for an ambush or a quiet meeting. The Jedi had provided Drakon and his partner @Brienna Lanaamer with enough credits to purchase the technology if it was actually there to buy. Drakon wasn't used to the shady dealings of criminals and the underworld so he was using his knowledge from old holo-dramas of criminals and their lives to determine how this would go.
Drakon would have to play it cool, pretend he was always in charge and aware of everything to keep the criminals from feeling his nervousness. Reminding himself of his training Drakon drew on the knowledge drilled into him by both his Master and the Droids of an old abandoned estate. The meeting should only involve the two Jedi and the seller with their guard.
He landed just outside the eastern wall in his Starfighter, closing the latch, and jumping out in his full armored suit. Dressed for battle, and prepared for trouble Drakon made sure his helmet was latch on properly, would suck if he got killed by a stray bolt due to being ill-prepared and nervous. He had sent a message to his partner that he would be parked just outside the eastern gate. There was at least half an hour or so before the meeting was supposed to take place, giving them plenty of time to prepare and check for traps.
Drakon waited hoping that his partner would come soon, the longer he was alone the more nervous he got. "Remember Drakon you are a Jedi Knight." A hand already on his blaster pistol the Jedi figured it didn't hurt to assume that criminals were preparing to backstab them.
