[IC] Gemeris Station [Everyone]

[Jendu Verbenti]

Korstyn was about to bristle at his words...but waited long enough to hear the rest.  She then nods.  Okay, he was just being careful.  "On my honor as a Mandalorian, I have accepted this contract."  And that was that.  Not that she particularly felt that she had much honor at this point in her life, but for whatever it was worth, he would accept her word and honor her...or not.

Woryn smiles, and is about to say nore, when suddenly the comm unit on his wrist gives a sqawk.

"Worynn, ther's been a development..."  Tak's gruff voice can be heard.

Worynn suddenly looks worried.. "Umm.. if you will excuse me a moment. We seem to be interrupted again."

He rises from the table, and ducks inside one if the cliff-dwellings adjacent to the square.

Moments later he reappears, and waves at Jendu to come over.

Assuming Jendu does.
[Korstynn can make a Perception check DC15 to overhear]

"there has been two developments that have.. escalated the situation. First the Empire has bumped the bounty to 10,000 credits. Second there has been no less than four bounty hunters seen on Ririmanna VI, asking about Sym Alvira. The good news is there are now three bounty hunters known to be on the hunt, not four. They got into a fire-fight against each other and one was killed. Obviously the Empire has figured out whatever Syn knows, and whatever it is they have upped the ante. The names of the bounty hunters remaining Ririmanna VI are Jelyn Seruna, a Mon Cal; Sensii Maleri, a female dug known to use a Soroauub Firelance; and a human male named Bato Xyanis. the bounty hunter that was killed was a human named Hyet Vilane"

"I don't think we can send just one bounty hunter anymore, now that the bounty has been increased, the Empire is drawing actual hunters, not just the bottom of the barrel. All three of those bounty hunters are known to bring accomplices."

" I do not know if you were authorized to bring more credits.." [OoC you were only authorized to offer a maximum 5,000 credits]  "... but that other group, they both have a ship, where this Korstyn does not, so would have to book passage to get there. They can get there directly, , Tak says he is willing to offer them another Cloakshape, without the hyperdrive sled, we  can't spare any of those, if it will get them to transport Korstynn, and assist her in bringing Sym in safely. He is definitelyt running scared, so he's gonna take some convincing to come along. It's not like we have badges that say we're the good guys."

"This IS an unfortunate development," Jendu replies quietly.  "I was only authorized to offer a maximum of 5,000 credits and after the purchase of my two droids I don't have enough credits to sweeten the offer and be reimbursed later until maybe next month, otherwise I wouldn't have any problem helping out."  Jendu pauses to consider the situation then asks, "So is there anything you would like me to do?  I could attempt to negotiate with the other crew to see if they will help find Sym?  We don't know if the group and Korstyn will even work together.  Korstyn is a bit of a loner, and she can be about as warm and friendly as an enraged Wampa.  So there's no telling if either will agree to the suggestion.  But I can try."
