Sympathy for the Devil (Day 9 Late afternoon.)

[Zanebry Varliss]

There was at least one thing a bit different about Zanebry's day. A walk through the alleyways of Shadow town wasn't generally something he did. Still he had a friend to see, and a few questions to ask. Though honestly he doubted a bit if he had the money to afford all he wanted.

His eyes were open, and he was being careful about not being followed.

Keeping your eyes open. Perception day 9: 3eA+1eP 2 successes, 3 advantage, 1 Triumph

[Nekoinu]

Jal Nav'loso stepped out of the alleyway with a cocked brow. "Zanebry. And I thought I wouldn't see you again, what with the suicide mission and all. Guess that hasn't happened yet, though."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"No, it took a bit more setup then I first figured. Too many variables I had to take into account." More then a few he really didn't trust. "How have you been though? You and that Duros fellow recover alright after all that gas you inhaled?"

[Nekoinu]

"Zios is almost done with recovery. Can't keep him down." He looked Zanebry over. "But I know you're not here just to check on me."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Trust is a issue in this sort of business, and I've extended mine to a few that I probably shouldn't. Mostly due to a lack of time." He frowned softly, and started to reach for his pack of smokes before stopping. "I was wondering if you knew if I had any. I can pay for the information, but not much."

[Nekoinu]

"Had any what, exactly? We can discuss pricing after."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Leaks." He smirked. "I should of been more specific."

"There are four people I trust... The rest of them, not so much. I assume you know the people I've been meeting with?"

[Nekoinu]

"You have the crew of the Tortoise, some Jedi, and some other Republic personnel."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Aye as well as Asra Nakahti. Though I believe she is someone I can trust." He frowned softly. "The crew of the Tortoise does bother me, as well as Baesal Zyn, and Cole Ormant."

"First first three because they are mercenaries, the fourth because her connections to the Sith. Ormant is the oddity, he seemed strangely nervous when we brought up the Crescent Shadow I don't know it it's anything that matters, but I'm curious."

[Nekoinu]

"Asra, yes," he said with a smirk. "I think you can trust her. As for the crew of the Tortoise, I recall them being willing to work with the Empire but that doesn't mean they can't work with the Republic.

"You are correct on Baesal. She still maintains ties with the Sith. As for Ormont, I couldn't say why he would be."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Aye, that true." He replied softly. "Though if it's the Sith and not the empire that might make a difference. The Sith have certain pressures they can but on people." He added with a smirk.

"Aye I thought so, I saw her interacting favorably with some of then at the wedding the other day, too favorably for one who should be labeled a traitor. Makes me wonder if they are trying to use her." He shook his head. "He might have some small connection to that terrorist group then. Maybe did a bit of work for them? Deadly viruses aren't easy to transport, and he seems to know a bit about them."

[Nekoinu]

The Devaronian shrugged. "Their leader, Craw Toboga, helped the Sith usurp the leadership of Clan Nodd. Whether that's due to loyalty to them or to Corso is up to your interpretation." He smirked. "Not that Corso doesn't have his affairs deeply linked with the Sith.

"As for Baesal, perhaps she's being manipulated. However, I believe he intentions a true. As for Ormont, I couldn't confirm. Truly, Crescent Shadow have a wonderful ability to keep their identities secret."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Mmm..." He pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Could I ask who all he was working with?" That might make a subtle difference." It was often like that with these type of things. "You are likely right about Baesal though, her intentions are true, she just trusts the wrong people." An infuriating thing in it's own way.

"As for Cole, I'll look into his activities on the days the attacks happened. Perhaps I'll be able to find a clue there."
