USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (JEDI)- Revelations

Yes, but he must be a good poker player. You aren't getting much.

"I guess I have a talent for it," he says.

Having fun, Gallagher?

Not especially...

"Apparently, Mr. Twain," Gallagher says. He pats him on the shoulder. "Well, I must be off, then. Take care."

Gallagher takes his leave of Deel Twain.

"Hmm...that wasn't good, was it?" Gallagher mutters to Zaland and Andro, before placing himself at a game of sorts near Dr. Mirani and his son.

Mirani called the other man father.

Which is odd, as the other man looks younger.

I completely misread that...

Hmm, perhaps some form of priest? Gallagher would like to listen in.

Now you look again at the black outfit, he could certainly be a Priest.

"Again?" Mirani is saying.

"He is most adamant," says the Priest.

"It's not safe."

"He is willing to take the risk. He has much work to do."

"He has to face reality. He can't pretend it isn't happening."

"Shall I tell him you won't do it?"

"No... I will... gah. Very well then. But later; I have a busy schedule."

"I am sure he appreciates that. Good day, Doctor."

Curious...

Gallagher would like to Scan both of them.

Mirani is worried; the Priest is adamant.

Gallagher frowns slightly, looking the other way from the Priest and Dr. Mirani. He waits until they have parted ways, before seeing which way the Priest heads.

(Missed a fair number of postings today, but I've caught up now.)

"Well, my testing went extremely well. Actually, maybe too well. It's hard to just ignore twenty-odd years of training. Hopefully I didn't set a new planet-wide record or something."

Andro sees that Gallagher takes interest in the conversation between a well dressed gentleman and their own Dr. Mirani. When Gallagher approaches and Zaland follows, Andro make sure to pay a noticeable amount of attention to the proceedings, but hangs back a little farther than Zaland. Having two bodyguards flank someone in a quiet conversation hardly seems relaxed or casual. But Andro figured a Family Protector probably wouldn't ignore it either.

When Gallagher moves to the game, Andro follows this time pretending to take great interest in it, but he can hear the conversation as well.

Andro leans closer to Gallagher. "A little pushy for a priest, isn't he?" He notices Gallagher's subtle look of concentration as the men part company. "What did you get?"

The Priest seems to be heading to some private quarters about thrity seconds down the corridor which are roped off; he unhooks the rope and slips through.

Gallagher taps Dr. Mirani on the shoulder.

"Who was that, Doctor?" Gallagher asks, raising an eyebrow.

"What?" He seems distracted. "Oh, a companion to one of our guests. As your protectors are your companions."

"What's this, what's this?" says Twain, coming over. "Conspiratorial whispers? Why don't we all get a drink and sit down? If that is acceptable, Doctor?"

"Just the one," he says. "And not for me, I am on duty. Excuse me, everyone."

"Oh, I was just curious as to who that was," Gallagher says. "And I don't drink, but I'd gladly sit with you, Mr. Twain."

Mirani hurries off. As you sit with Twain, he asks you what you are here for.

-

All quiet on Cassilis?

When Gallagher had finished talking to Dr. Mirani and had sat down with Mr. Twain, Andro moved over to one of the games. He knew that Gallagher had already dug a small hole, and didn't want to give Mr. Twain the opportunity to make things worse by cross-examining Andro's knowledge of the Klinge-Faust Family with Gallagher's. Besides, he really liked that game.

"Rest and relaxation, Mr. Twain!" Gallagher says, with a warm smile. "Aren't we all?"

"Not at all," says Twain "Some people are here on medical advice. Some people come here to stay fit. Some people are just here on a holiday! Me, I like to stay in shape. Society is sick of the image of the fat businessman. The Neomidians have a lot to answer for, getting droids to do all the work."

"Ah, I agree," Gallagher says. "Rest and relaxation is my main motive- translating can be more frustrating than you think, even if you're good at it- but I do want to stay in shape."

"So what sort of programme do they have you on?"
