"Its a good thing that we arent traditional hunters then." Sammel says to the old bounty hunter, with a flourish, he produces his ID, "We'd like any information you might have on Rolok Tal. Does he have friends who may be helping him? List of crimes? What kind of jobs does he usually do?"

(OOC: Sorry about being MIA for the last couple of days, home life has been a little nuts.)

{OOC - no worries, my own work timetables are shift based and all over the place, if I need to move the story along I can NPC characters for a couple of posts}

The old hunter looks at Sammel's Identicard.
"Ah well it looks like Rolok is moving up in the world if he's attracted the attention of your kind. Not unexpected I suppose, he did gun down the son of the station's military commander on Tryast."

"His crimes are typical: collecting illegal bounties, murder, escape from a prison facility. Rumour has it he was working for some unsavoury characters on Metellos, but that system's our main trade rival so I don't know if there's any truth to that."

"He's got some hack cyborging, there's a rumour an unlicensed surgeon operates out of one of the droid merchants near the shipyards, you might try asking around the cantinas over there but the spacers are a pretty tight lipped bunch."

"Once you find him you need to deliver him to Ronika Station prison facility, it orbits the eighth planet. They'll give you a receipt for him, you bring that to me, which I confirm and I pay you."

===============================

Jaxson continues his walk towards the office where the other Ashla had entered. He passes a pair of fairly attractive women, one of whom opens her plain robe towards him to reveal very little underwear and smiles. The other tries to engage him in a haggle, approaching him.

"You want her?" she asks with a biting tone. "Fifty credits gets you half an hour."

Jaxson's manservant, Tirith steps between the haggling woman and him, preventing her from getting too close without knocking him out of the way.

"Excuse me ma'am! The honourable esquire Kreed doesn't like to be approached, if you have business with him you'll have to make an appointment."
He turns to Jaxson and remarks quietly, "Watch these street-urchins m'lord, they'll lift your credits if you let them get too close."

The woman seems frustrated by the interference. She calls over Tirith, addressing Jaxson directly, "So you need your boyfriend to speak for you? Do you want her or not!"

Jaxson looks, amused, at the prostitute attempting to get him to engage her 'colleague.' With half a smile on his face, he replies, "My dear, did I speak to you? Surely you must realize that, were I interested in either of you, I'd have not only made eye contact with you, I'd have also spoken first to you, rather than merely walking along as I am doing. Besides...if I desire female companionship, I certainly don't need to hire it. Come along, Tirith."

Jaxson escorts Tirith toward the office the other Ashla entered, intent on catching up to them. Along the way, he speaks softly to his servant. "Tirith, while I appreciate the interference back there, and understand that Mother would definitely be pleased by your service, you must keep in mind that I am Ashla now; the Masters were all adamant that their students comport themselves with a more humble mien. Announcing me as you did back there does somewhat go against that vein, wouldn't you say?"

During the walk, Jaxson keeps an eye out for reputable-looking vendors of reliable equipment, noting their positions for after he's caught up to the other Ashla.

Sammel gives the others a knowing look at the mention of the hack surgeon, "Sounds like a good place to start," He offers the man a firm handshake, "Thank you. We're greatful for your assistance."

Jaxson continues his way, constantly maintaining his meditative state of heightened awareness (Danger Sense), and glancing around his immediate vicinity, although it is difficult concentrating on both at this stage of his training. Nevertheless it's not a hard task to notice shopfronts, stalls and advertisements as he passes them and Tirith is avidly window shopping himself, declaring any points of interest. There is little he misses.

"M'lord, look over there," Tirith points a few dozen metres across the market, where some beast handlers are auctioning caged animals.
"Spukami, Corellian domesticated felines. They're terrific for keeping starship holds free from pests you pick up at starports, some of those can be quite dangerous. I heard about them around the Tythonian port. Two-hundred credits is quite a bargain...if they're not feral."

Jaxson also notices an armaments shop as he approaches the office the other Ashla disappeared into. Varagat's Guns and Equipment, it is called and there is a familiar face just exiting. The Gunner/Security crewman Thorn, that was aboard The Starjumper is walking out of the gunshop and almost runs into the pair, as he looks up and smiles at you with a greeting. He is holding a brand new heavy pistol he just bought in its case, pleased with his purchase and impressed by the polished display case it came with.

Jaxson is easily aware of the near collision with Thorn due to his heightened senses, and easily sidesteps before even having to think about it, as if moved out of the way through the preturbations of motion in the Living Force itself.

"Ah greetings there, I recognise you from the ship," Thorn grins, "How are you finding the station? It's got just about everything a spacer could need."
"Hey and if you need to visit the other planets before checking in with the Iron Citadel, you can purchase berthings at the central booking office. There are transports running daily interplanetary trips."

========================================

The old bounty hunter clerk returns Sammel's firm handshake and bids them luck, as the trio exit the office back into the market district.
Mazael replies to Aaron's comment, "You got that right, now comes the hard part of actually finding this guy. Cyborged too, that's not so great, he might have superhuman strength or something."
He then smiles and nods at Sammel, "Well at least we got a lead. Shipyards, sounds like the other side of the markets."

As they exit the bounties office they see the armaments shop next door has some familiar faces standing outside it. One of the crewmen from The Starjumper is chatting to one of the other Ashla passengers from the ship and his manservant, barely 15 metres away.

Seeing the crewmen from the Starjumper, Sammel glances at Mazael, "Might be a good time to recruit some reenforcements then." Closing the distance to the others, "Greetings my friends!"

Jaxson returns the smile to the crewman. "It is definitely a sight to behold...Thorn, is it? There are a great many vendors here, all of them vying for our coin. Indeed; you look quite pleased with your purchase.

"As you seem to be well-acquainted with this station, perhaps you could give me some intel on the best shops in which to purchase equipment? I am personally looking for armor, but my colleagues may wish to make some additions to their kit before we report to the Iron Citadel; your input would be most appreciated."

As he finishes making his request, his fellow Ashla exit the office a mere 15 meters away from where he stands conversing with Thorn. Jaxson gives a small bow to the pair as they walk up and greet Jaxson, Thorn, and Tirith. Greetings, brothers. Finding anything of interest amongst all the hustle and bustle?"

Aaron makes a faint bow toward Jaxson. "Greetings, and yes, we're currently trying to find Rolok Tal, the criminal with the bounty."

Jaxson raises an eyebrow questioningly. "Criminal? Bounty? Do fill me in."

With a slight flourish, Sammel speaks, " We saw a bounty posting for a dangerous fugitive when we entered the station," His smile never faces, "And it seemed like a good idea to persue it. We thought it would not only make the system a little safer, but it would give us a chance to work together a little before checking in at the Iron Citadel." His smile blossoms into a full blown grin, "Care to join us for our little adventure?"

"The money is pretty good as well." Yet again, Aaron makes a mischivous smile.

Jaxson's face breaks out in a wide grin.

"By all means; let us pursue the criminal. What leads do we have?"

"As close as we can tell, he's in surgery right now," Sammel says, "We're going looking for a hack surgeon that operates out of a merchant near the shiphards." His smile blossoms into a toothy grin, "I figure we can just ask a few people where the surgeon is and go pay a little visit."

"Sounds like a plan. Better to catch him during surgery than after he's all patched up."
