Meeting Expectations (Day 7 Mid Afternoon. Closed)

[Cole Ormont]

"Just not cheap, right?" Cole deadpans, accepting the drink, "no rocks, waters down the drink." He can smell the cigarettes and cologne on Z, and is surprised to find the combination pleasant.

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Just water will be fine," Yslane replies.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"A man who knows how to drink, I like that." Yslane recieved her water, and Baesal whatever she asked for before Z got around to addressing them.

Half sitting on the edge of the bar he looked then over. "I imagine some of you are wondering why I asked you here. Before I begin though. Does anyone not know the name Aris N'ventas?"

[Baesal Zyn]

Baes had whisky, because whisky is good.

She thanked Gentleman Z before answering "Yes, the name is familiar"

[Cole Ormont]

Cole slouched against a wall and declined to admit how little he really knew.

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Perhaps it would be best to give a summary just to make sure we are all on the same page?" Yslane spoke up.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Of course Yslane." He offered his Blueblossom a charming smile before doing just that.

"Aris N'ventas was a thief, and not a small time one. He'd done more then a few in his life and made a name for himself. Before his untimely death he was planning another."

"What he was after though, was something as simple as credits though. It was a chemical weapon, and he planned to sell it to both sides in the current conflict."

"Which brings you to why I asked you hear. I plan to destroy it. I can't do so alone though." He looked between them all, waiting for comments or questions.

[Baesal Zyn]

She listens and grows somewhat wary "Project: Evolution" she finally Says

"I know some details..."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I thought you might." He said with a crooked smile as he looked towards Baesal. "Would you mind sharing? Or is that asking too much?"

[Baesal Zyn]

The togruta smirked

"Why don't you tell us what else you know and how you will proceed in stopping it first?"

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I know where it is for starters." He replied with a soft chuckle. "As for what we'll need to do...."

"We'll need to break in, wipe the databases in the facility, then destroy it. And trace down any back ups and destroy those as well. It's going to take a lot of work."

[Baesal Zyn]

She arched an eyebrow

''Do you have Aris's data?''

[Zanebry Varliss]

"It's one of the pieces I'm missing, but I plan to acquire today." He might have already, but some threads move faster then others. "if nothing else I have some ideas on where to go to find what he did."

[Baesal Zyn]

''Well...It so happens that I do have his data'' she leaned to the side

''But why should we trust you Misterious Z? I know well tha tthe Empire also as a hand in this.''

[Zanebry Varliss]

"The Empire, and the Republic." He took a sip of his drink. "As for why you should trust me? Yslane does other then that? I'm not sure I'll be able to convince you, but I'll try."

"Though before I say anything more, I'll have everyone's word that nothing I saw will go behind these doors."

[Baesal Zyn]

''I can agree to that'' she says with a nod and a grin

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane nods her agreement.

[Cole Ormont]

Cole nodded and took another sip of whiskey.

[Galen Sol]

"Of course." Galen nodded.

[Zanebry Varliss]

Zane knew he didn't need to wait for word from Arali or Galen, or Yslane for that matter, so as Cole and Baseal confirmed their silence he continued his explanation.

"In my opinion trust comes from mutual understanding, and I suppose that means for need to know a bit about myself and my motivations." He took a sip of his whiskey and gestured towards Yslane. "Yslane here guessed what I was when we chatted a few days ago, or close enough to it. I'm former S.I.S. and before I was forced to retire, I was part of a kill team that infiltrated behind enemy lines. My handler Matthias Norvoa, you probably don't know the name, but it will come up again. Had sent us on a mission, what seemed rather simple, a strike against a ranking Imperial family."

"The information we received from him was faulty though, and the resulting conflict was messy to say the least. Too much blood, too many bodies on both sides, when it was supposed to be a simple disappearance something the empire could never put at our feet. I managed to survive though, the only member of my team that did, and make it back home. I suppose I shouldn't of been surprised. The mess I left, someone had to take the fall for it, and as Matthias said, it was better for the Republic if it was me."

"So there I was no friends, no job, and a measly pension handed me for my services. Perhaps it's natural my thoughts turned to revenge... It's taken me years to get close to it, but finally I received a job, watch a woman and find out what she is doing, and in exchange I get information. Likely enough to sink Matthias's career."

He took a long drink from his own whiskey. "I gave it up though, that chance I've been pursuing for years. For the location of this facility, to keep this weapon out of the hands of both sides of this war..." He glanced around to the gathered members. "Is that enough to gain a bit of your trust?"

[Baesal Zyn]

The togruta stared at him, observing him while he talked

''It must have been hard'' she finally said ''Do you think we are enough to do the mission?''

[Zanebry Varliss]

"There will be at least one more coming with us, which will put us at seven if you all agree to come. I could possibly bring one other along, but after that we would need another ship." He took off his hat and ran a hand through his hair. "Didn't think we wanted to risk multiple vessels."

[Baesal Zyn]

''The run planned by Aris included two ships'' she commented ''One going on the inside and one to monitor security''

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I can see that." He said with a thoughtful nod. "Means we would need another vessel though, and last I checked none of you have access."

"Might mean bringing more in from the outside."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Do we need to follow Aris's plan?" Yslane puts forward.
