USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (DARK SIDE)- The Way Back

Well, what I meant was along the lines of what we did when we swiped the transponders for our ship, basically saying "yeah, we paid for it in advance" 😛

Would that work with an item like a generator since it is very rare.

Galder likes the idea of stealing the money rather than the entire generator.

So does Tanic.

Plus, you guys wouldn't have to run away with a flippin' huge generator; you'd have 'legally' purchased it.

Yes, but stealing the money brings just as many problems. Such as the sudden apperance of people rich enough to buy a shield generator just after the money was stolen, using the money THAT was stolen, and so on and so forth...

It's all down to basic criminal enterprise; no route is hassle free.

Of course... We could steal the money from criminals.

Or start haggling for the generator before we steal the credits to buy it.

Still using marked money. You don't control a money laundering operation.

But it'd knock the suspicion off us, at least for a while - why suspect somebody of stealing money to buy something they already are in a deal for.

Also, we could take it from criminals.

How? From 'Criminal Business Ltd'? You're not going to raise this by mugging.

If you take it from criminals the money is either already marked- same problem- or it's legit, in which case they can report it stolen in which case you, again, can't spend it unless you launder it.

Tanic`s plan sounds good to me.

I have a feeling you guys don't understand how large amounts of money work...

Do you mean that any merchant would want to check carefully such a transaction? Especially our credibility?

Very much so.

Stealing the money also involves hanging around on the planet for the longest amount of time after the crime.

So it would be more practical just to steal the generator, as covertly as possible. What a pity mind tricks might be resisted by merchant types, and there won`t be enough time for Corruption, right?

We can mind trick that, though.

We are wealthy enough to start bargaining for a generator.

EDIT - It's not like we have to trick them into selling it to us.

Certainly no time for Corruption.

Well, as pointed out, directly stealing the generator brings the transport difficulties.

I am just saying that the money stealing solution doesn't solve your problems, it just brings different ones.

The question is, which option is better on longer run?

Could Rand use Insight on this?

Insight's a premonition, Gallador.

No it isn't, and yes he can, though that would blow another Force point, Gallador.
