"I'll try and find a suitable landing place," says Rura.
"Wait... I'm getting the strongest signal from Prosperity. It's on loop."
"...is apprehended. Please comply with our recommendations for your own safety and security.
This is a public information warning. This town is a secure zone. A dangerous criminal named Zatev is thought to be hiding in the area. Zatev is armed and extremely dangerous, and is believed to be a threat. He should not be approached under any circumstances. Republican security forces are dealing with the situation. All traffic entering and leaving Prosperity is subject to a security review. It is highly recommended that all private travel to Prosperity is avoided, and all commercial traffic re-route to other ports. Should your journey be essential, it is recommended you stay inside at all times until Zatev is apprehended. Please comply with our recommendations for your own safety and security.
This is a public information warning. This town is a secure zone. A dangerous criminal..."
Nume listened as the transmission reached Tarnic's ship.
"Zatev, eh? I somehow doubt that that is his real name..." Nume said to the others. "I suggest we be ready for combat, just in case. Look inconspicuous upon entering the town. If we enter the firefight that is probably occuring, we take them by surprise."
"It is," says Rura, "assuming my signal trace is correct. But if you think Kuylen is the murderer... well aside from that, from my time with him, Kuylen never wasted time killing without purpose... well, furthermore, if he killed, he used his lightsabre. If they were tracing a killer using a lightsabre, this place would be crawling with Jedi, not security men.
In my opinion."
Tanic's Bounty Hunter ally, who I would like to have a name for but do not, comes over the comm.
"Sabre or no sabre," he says, "if this murderer is dangerous enough to warrant a lockdown and help from the Republic, it's not impossible a Jedi is heading the security team. Catching interplanetary murderers is one of their jobs. That could be awkward."
"Then it is an unlucky coincidence," Nume replies. "that a petty murder is in the area."
"There are bound to be lots of officers running around looking for criminals. I do not want to wait until the crisis is over, so we shall go in as stealthily as possible and find Kuylen. Be ready for combat, all the same."
"Thank you, Nume..." Galder replied sarcastically. "You ain't so innocent yourself..."
"Maybe he's new to the business. Hell, if he's with Kuylen, it's possible he's a replacement for the lackies that Kuylen lost. Wraith got angry, Chion went crazy, Saar turned himself in (that stupid coward), and Jolanta disappeared."
