The Test (2nd Attempt)

[Keinushi]

Location: Corellian Cluster

Target: Giwren Hofek

Reason for Contract: Target has been openly campaigning against the bogan. If his case were to continue he may cause problems further down the road. He is only a minor official, but he is drawing far too much attention to himself far too quickly, better to squash him now.

Conditions: This cannot look like a bogan attack. Lightsabers are an emergency weapon only. You will be provided both a long range sniper and a short range blaster that match the type used by a local militant group.

Assignment: Locate the target and eliminate him.

The Ragnarok landed in a non-important hangar in Coronet City, capital of Corellia. After the ground crew checked things out, the pilot was given the clear to disembark.
The pilot wore a white hooded jacket. Half of the unconsealed face was covered by bandages. One technician was surprised when only the human and an astromech droid exited the Zweihander-class blockade runner.
"Is this all of the crew?" asked the technician.
"No, no, no, no," said the human, whose forms said his name was Bianche White. "I twavel alone. I explowe the galaxy wid me fwend, C2D3."
"May I ask about the nature of your visit?"
"I god this fwend dat knows dis guy dat wooks fow de senato. Dere is dis pawty wid many people an' guests and I am one of dem. I wanna win da waffle."
"Waffle?"
"Waffle, not waffle?"
"What?" The technician was confused in what the boy was talking about.
"The waffle! The waffle! Da ding dat you get a pwize fow having yo cawd picked."
"Oh, a raffle."
"Dat's what I said. A waffle."
The technician sighed. "Just go."
"Dank you, wister," thanked the boy.
The boy left with his astromech droid.
"What a weird kid," commented the technician to himself.

After leaving the hangar, Albedo and the droid he had stolen from the planet he had taken a pit stop at. It wasn't hard to reprogram C2D3. He gave it basic functioning. As he walked down the street, as per the droid's programming, C2D3 drove off to go find exploring. Albedo doubted the droid would find anything but there was always the chance C2D3 might find something while searching databases.
Albedo's trek led him to a hotel where he'd be staying. He purchased a room with cash and put it under a false name, claiming to be renting it for his father. He was pleased. His boyish features seemed to have fooled most of the people he had encountered.
Albedo entered his room. It was simple. A bed, a bathroom, and a desk. In the closet, he put his supplies in. For his mission, he had been given weaponry similiar to a local militiant group. He kept his lightsabers packed inside the hidden compartment of his bag. He wouldn't use them unless he used Plan B, which would be where he guised as a Jedi and pretended to be trying to save the target's life.
"I'll see what I can get from Coronet and then go from there," said Albedo. "I..."
Albedo coughed up some blood. He wiped away the mess with a towel.
Damn, cursed Albedo. I won't be able to use Plan B without risking leaving my DNA at the scene.
Albedo ravenously devoured a pill and gulped down some water.

An hour later, Albedo went exploring. He decided to go to the bar. He entered the dim building and sat down near the bartender.
"Water please," requested Albedo. He had no intention of being slowed down by being drunk. Besides, he was underaged.

 

[Keinushi]

"2 credits," The bartender replied, slamming a large glass of water on the bar. The mug looked like it wasn't quite clean, though its hard to tell in the dim light.

 

[Dmitri]

Albedo paid the bartender. He then gulfed down the water.
"So, I've heard the Bogan have been causing a mess in the galaxy lately," said Albedo. "How badly has Corellia been affected?"

 

[Keinushi]

"The who?" The bartender raised an eyebrow in question.

"He means them evil jedi!" A drunk corellian shouted from the edge of the bar.

"Oh!" the bartender smiled. "Right, right, right. Yeah, I hear their causing a fair bit of trouble for the Jedy, but we hardly hear about them at all out here. Corellia keeps to Corellia's self. So we don't get affected by the rest of the galaxy as much as other systems."

 

[Dmitri]

"Really?" said Albedo, faying surprise. "There's been a few major anti-Bogan activists from Corellia. Let's see, the two I can think on the top of my head are Jaq Le Blanq and Giwren Hofer." He lied about the first name and purposely misspoke the last name. If someone knew the name and tried to hide it, they might slip and use the correct name.

 

[Keinushi]

"Yeah," the drunk Corellian at the edge of the bar mumbled. "Except Jaq died in that gang war last year, and Hofar keeps brodcasting from Drall of all places."

"Yeah!" another patron said. "I didn't even know there were any sentients on Drall till 'Ofek started his 'olo-transmissions."

 

[Dmitri]

"I didn't know Drall was populated," said Albedo. "Then again, the Republic has occassionally set up colonies in the weirdest of places; the Jedi too. I wonder where the one on Drall is. Probably a Krayt Dragon nest." He faked a humorous chuckle.

 

[Keinushi]

"Oh Drall is populated," A voice from the back of the room spoke up. "If you can call them a population! Drall is covered with these weird creatures that have been at war with each other as far back as we have records. They only have stone technology though, so they aren't much of a threat."

 

[Dmitri]

"Oh Drall is populated," A voice from the back of the room spoke up. "If you can call them a population! Drall is covered with these weird creatures that have been at war with each other as far back as we have records. They only have stone technology though, so they aren't much of a threat."

"I never suspected that Giwren would locate himself next to such savages. Wait, if they have only stone technology, where's he transmitting from?" Drunks can surprisingly be so reliable, Albedo thought. They spill secrets without restraint. Though I will need to be careful. Sometimes drunks mix fact with fable.

 

[Keinushi]

"I dunno." The man from the back mumbled.

"All his holos do have a Drall backdrop however." A different drunk spoke up. "Only on Drall do we have jungle that thick in the Corellian system."


((I have actually fed you 2 false pieces of info through them already.))

 

[Dmitri]

"Well, I hope that guy doesn't get killed. I heard he got in some trouble way back," said Albedo. "Don't know the specifics." He paused to drink more of his water. "You know, I've never been to Drall before. Are there any colonies I can land at?"

OCC: I guessed as much. Drunks aren't the most reliable of informants but sometimes they provide little clues that can help out. Who knows.

 

[Keinushi]

"Where there isn't smoke?" A drunk laughed. "Hey Sam, didn't you go to Drall a couple years back?"

"Nerf Poodoo no!" Sam answered. "Wife said it was a terrible idea. We went to Corescant instead. I got you that shirt remember."

"Right, right, right." The man smiled. "Sorry, can't help ya."

 

[Dmitri]

"Where there isn't smoke?" A drunk laughed. "Hey Sam, didn't you go to Drall a couple years back?"

"Nerf Poodoo no!" Sam answered. "Wife said it was a terrible idea. We went to Corescant instead. I got you that shirt remember."

"Right, right, right." The man smiled. "Sorry, can't help ya."

"Oh well," said Albedo. "Then again, going to a savage planet is dangerous. I'll probably go elsewhere." He glanced at his watch and bolted up, pretending to have suddenly remembered something. "Bloody Spaceballs! I was suppose to meet with my girlfriend ten minutes ago. I didn't realize it was this late!"
Albedo rushed out of the bar. When he was out of view of the bar, he walked normally towards the hangar. "Let's see if he's at Drall. I doubt there's very many outposts on the planet."
C2D3 was waiting at the hangar. It reported that it had found no leads. Albedo walked over to a window to notify the harbormaster of his planned departure.

 

[Keinushi]

((As you aproach drall you can either scan the planet for the outpost or simply go into the atmosphere and search manually, either way, I'll describe the outpost to you.))

 

[Dmitri]

Albedo got clearance to take off. He departed and flew towards Drall. As he approached, he scanned the planet for any outposts.

 

[Keinushi]

The reading came back with 2 locations, one at either side of the planet. They are of equal size according to your readings.

 

[Dmitri]

Albedo cursed. "C2D3, see if you can pick up any transmissions from either colony. The drunkards mentioned he sends transmissions occassionally. Maybe we'll get lucky. If we pick up transmissions from a colony, we'll check it out first; if that's a fluke, we'll try the other."
As he waited for C2D3 to compute the processes Albedo had ordered, Albedo checked out the info he could find on the colonies.

OOC: I'll leave the details of the colonies to you, since you would know more than me.

 

[Keinushi]

Your sensor read a constant stream of information coming from the northern of the two outposts. As you head towards it you see it has a large landing platform with several ships parked on it. At the opposite end of the landing area is a large official looking building bearing Corellian colors and design. There is a single guard by the door in the official garb of Corellian guards.

 

[Dmitri]

Albedo obtained clearance to land. He then disembarked from the Ragnarok with C2D3.

OOC: I stopped here in case you wanted to stop Albedo as he's leaving his ship. If you want me to continue on, I'll add onto this post.
