Lore Quest [LM2]

[Dapper Dog]

The leader says to Moyr, "We don't answer the summons of anyone but our clan. Not that it matters."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Well, Ordos were there. Vode An was sung. Ni dinu ner gaan naakyc, jorcu ni nu copaani kyr'amur ner vod. But I understand."

[Col. Hala Moraal]

Hala unclasped the holster from her belt and handed over the small pistol, then turned to listen while the Wraith spoke with the Mandalorians.

[Jo'ren Rath]

After a few moments Jo'ren unhappily unclipped his sabers and handed them over as Moyr spoke with the Mandalorians. He only knew two Mandos, and the clan structure was a mystery to him. His thoughts remained his own. Hala was doing a fine job so he chose not to distract from it.

[Dapper Dog]

The Mandalorians place the weapons aside with some Hutt guards who put them in a secure locker. Their leader says to Moyr, “You have a slick tongue but you’re still aruetii.”

He then adds to Jeeg, “They are clean.”

Jeeg says, “The Master is resting, so I shall speak on her behalf. She would like to say that she appreciates the company and is glad the Empire has taken an interest in her activities.”

He starts to walk the walk exotic gardens, overhead their seems to be some kid of energy shield protecting the palace from the rain and other more dangerous phenomenon.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I've been called burc'ya before. Ret'urcye mhi."

Moyr replied to the Bralor then followed Jeeg, studying the lush gardens for one particular plant she had seen before. She allowed Hala to converse further.

[Col. Hala Moraal]

Hala follows along side abreast Jeeg, appreciatively glancing about the garden.

"An impressive botanical display, is there a practical purpose to them or does someone simply have a trained eye for aesthetics and exotic novelty?" she asked, making polite conversation until Jeeg indicated that he was ready to begin business.

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren kept an eye on their surroundings. The plants were a nice change from the industrial wasteland. He continued to watch and listen, letting the others direct the conversation.

[Dapper Dog]

Jeeg stops by a large leafy plant and says, "The Master believes in botanical and chemical... mind altering experiences. Just about every plant has a medicinal purpose. Some are aesthetic but that is the minority. You like?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I heard stories that some of the original flora of the planet had precognitive qualities. Is there a grain of truth in that?"

[Dapper Dog]

"I heard stories that some of the original flora of the planet had precognitive qualities. Is there a grain of truth in that?"

"Depends on the stories, most of the old stories are just superstition," Jeeg responds.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"It usually takes a keen mind and scholarly diligence to sift truth from superstition."

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"I do like them, and I wouldn't mind learning more about them if you have someone who can spare time to speak after we've concluded," Hala agreed, visually reaching out to study each plant now she knew they had more uses than just for beauty.

[Dapper Dog]

Jeeg says with little amusement, "So is that why you came, to look at plants? What does the Empire want with my master?"

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"To extend our good will, pay our respects, see what your honorable master needs and if we can help fulfill that. Trade and friendship, to better everyone, yes?" Hala said with a laugh.

[Dapper Dog]

"So you came to offer your services... I see. Well in that case my Master has a task that needs doing," Jeeg replies.

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"Commerce is best way to build ties. You generally don't go to war with your partners," Hala said noncomittally, "but if your honored master has something that needs doing, then I would be happy to assist how I'm able."

[Dapper Dog]

Jeeg continues walking and says, "My Master appreciates that sentiment. She would appreciate it more if she could have contacts and trade routes into Imperial territories free of customs."

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"I would be happy to arrange a meeting between a representative or delegation of her's and a few sector comptrollers," Hala without missing a beat, "While I'm not sure trade totally free of customs is likely, contacts I can guarantee an introduction for... You might be able to receive a reclassification on your cargo, something that would lessen the tariff. And anything saved on the tariff goes directly to your bottom line, either making you more competitive or just filling your coffers further."

[Dapper Dog]

"Then see to those details and then we can consider whatever it is you are doing here," Jeeg says.

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"If you have somewhere I can make a call, then?"

When lead to a terminal or holotransmitter, Hala entered the frequency for the embassy on the moon above. When the call was received, she relayed her requirement that appointments be placed on the calendars for the comptroller's chief of staff of the two nearest sectors in Imperial space to discuss advance work within the next two weeks and then within a month after that a meeting with their comptroller to meet with representatives of Givaga the Hutt. Updates should be forwarded to both herself and Majordomo Jeeg.

Upon completion of the call, she turned back to the nikto with a raised eyebrow.

"Sufficient?" she asked.

[Dapper Dog]

Jeeg laughs and says, "I told the Mistress we should have asked for more. Now why are you here?"

[Col. Hala Moraal]

"Goodwill and the start of a friendship, as I said. The Red Wraith though, wishes to speak with another. A learnèd Evocii, something of a scholar, that she has been lead to believe serves your honored Master. If the Evocii could be produced for her, it would be appreciated," Hala explained, a slight shrug as they finally passed the pleasantries.

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren watched Hala's efficiency, realising she was even better at this stuff than he'd known. He wondered exactly how this Hutt was going to try to screw them over.

[Moyr Ahaya]

During that time Moyr was looking around for the plant Baes had showed her, but returned to Hala's side when she was done with awarding MFN treatment to Givaga.
