Ok then! Cassilis crew- what do you make of all that? This is the sort of time to be drawing conclusions.

SPIRIDOS
Music: Departing Coruscant
Gallagher and Andro, your ship- one provided by the family- has just reached the Spiridos system. You are locked in the flight grid and will be landing soon. It is a pleasant, temperate world, though by now very heavily urbanised.
"What you have to remember," Zaland is telling you, Andro, "that being a family Protector is a mixture of tradition and modern service. Being a Protector is in itself a family business; my line goes back a long way. But we aren't slaves, have not been for a millennia; we are highly paid professionals and our clients expect good service."
All of you are booked into the facilities on Spiridos; there is no issue of class. It's a vacation for you all. A healthy one though- you are all undergoing their basic health training programme.

ALZARIUS
Well, I might say something...
... except that not long after you reach there, you spot Xeth's ship, the Nexu's Grin, in the same area!
Which means we pick up this plot in the Renegade thread... see you there!
"This shant be too bad a mission," Gallagher says, looking out the viewport as the ship sets down. "Once again, I must thank you, Zaland, and you, Andro, for joining me. You are both dear friends, and I appreciate the security you provide."
"But I am not Gallagher, currently. You may call me Scroop Klinge-Faust, or sir, for the mission's sake. You know Uncle Scroop, do you not, Zaland?"
Gallagher has shed his Jedi robes for the sake of this mission. Instead, he has been supplied clothes by his bodyguard. He wears a blood red, buttoned shirt, with a vest of golden thread over it and black pants, underneath an elaborate coat with intricate designs stitched in red and gold thread on the black, smooth fabric. He sports a small, ring of silver laced about his head, a sort of crown as is common among the upper-classed families of Thespion. However, his still sports his classy leather boots and Jedi utility belt from his usual robes. In place of his lightsaber is a tube of food capsules...unfortunately.
He walks down the ramp behind Zaland and Andro once they land, admiring the red-and-gold-and-white outside of one of the family's starships once more before moving to greet whoever is greeting them.
*aboard ship*
"This mission could almost be fun, at least part of the time. It'll be nice to have to relax as part of a mission. Although fear not, Gall... Scroop, Sir; I won't get so comfortable that I can't watch your back." Andro grins at Gallagher. "And I think I'll just be calling you Sir, at least until I get used to hearing Scroop. And thank you Zaland, for briefing me on the responsibilities of Family Protector. Your insight will be invaluable to my cover."
Andro had also changed his appearance for the mission. Although he very much doubted there were many being in the galaxy outside of Courscant who could identify him as a Jedi, he felt it helped him stay 'in character'. He had tied his long blonde hair into a neat ponytail, and he was clean shaven for the first time since he was a Padawan. He had opted for darker clothing than his usual brown Jedi attire. Now he wore a simple light grey shirt with half-sleeves, dark grey trousers with a matching cloth belt tied around them, as well as a pair of dark grey Nef leather boots. It was all of very good material; he didn't want to look poor, but at the same time he wanted his overall appearance to be plain and tottaly forgettable.
"This really does look like a nice place, Sir." He called back to 'Scroop'. "I think you'll have no trouble enjoying your much deserved vacation."
( Ush I would like to use my contacts at the Jedi Archive for any important information on the indivduals we know currently that we will be dealing with, any information that may help us tip the hand in favor of a peaceful resolution in these matters from the people to the planet or what ever can help us if you please there must be somthing)
The Archive won't tell you anything useful about the people- like I told Jelena before, it is not a political repository.
In fact, without any specific info requests, your friend there finds it hard to find anything relevant- except that at the start of the founding of the modern Republic (1000 years ago) Cassillis was in hard times after the wars, but it has become increasingly affluent ever since.

Hmm, you are right, Roan. There are politicians who are nothing but true and moral upstanding people. You do not think Duguid is one of those.
Then again, there are politicians who are nothing but evil, selfish, power-hungry scheming bastards, and you don't think he is one of those either.
Which leaves the professional politician, the man who speaks truth in lies and vice-versa, who treats the whole thing as a big chess game. He's one of those.
He was very polite about it, but his whole conversation cancelled down to "Mind your own business and stay out."
What could he be wanting to hide from you? And what is he going to do now?
-
Any final preparations the Spiridos team want to make before they go down? Else, their undercovere status starts now.

"I guess we won't find any more informatiopn here, we will have to find out on Cassilis"
(Ush using Savoir-Faire can you see if I know anything such as special customs or such for where we are going that may help ease the tension of seeing a party of Jedi arrive such as, the proper way to great on of there Dignitaries wheather for the rebels or the government there, perhaps some information on there culture or how these people tend to react to various situations as a whole such as these, I know it might be reaching but I want to cover all my bases here and try to give the team every advantage possible.)
Cassilis is a core world and hence recognises core values- their culture is the same as 'generic' Republican culture so you need not worry about special customs. They are highly cultured and, as noted, committed pacifist.
As you are going to be interacting heavily with the Z'har, it's best to have your intellectual hats on.
However, AS intellectuals, if they as a body do not want you there, it's going to be very hard to ingratiate yourselves.
They almost certainly have no capacity to deal with violence, but being smart it is unlikely they have not been working towards a solution.
(Ush being that the Z'har are committed pacifist and in theory would never commit an act of violence history shows us that even the most committed when there back is against the wall have themselves or had others shall we say defuse the problem, now I know that we are being sent to help defuse this situation however being as intelligent as the Z'har are they would most certainly have a back up plan should we fail, using my contact at the Jedi Archive, our just my knowlege of the galaxy have the Z'har ever used outside help such as mercs or other government body's besides the Republic and if so what action was taken and if not are they capable of such an act)
