STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Hunter

"Fine."

Rylis will go and armor up, and then head over to Snith's ship with him.

Snith waits for you while you armor-up.

"Do you really have to suit up like that?" Snith asks. "I don't see the point of armor, really. It's kinda... restrictive."

"Most armor is, but not this stuff. I prefer to be prepared for anything, and I've had people attempt to kill me too many times. And I doubt we're going for a friendly chat now anyway." Rylis replies. "And what about those bracers of yours? Those count as armor."

"Oh, those," Snith says. "They're not armor, trust me."

"Whatever you say. Where's their ship at?"

"Hold your Woklings, dearie!" Snith responds as you round the corner into his docking bay.

This is the first time you get a real good look at the Cold Hard Wit. It is a narrow, triangular vessel, with a dark grey color scheme and light armoring. A single bubbled window shows you where the cockpit is, which Snith clambers up to now. There are no discernable weapons.

In the cockpit, Snith brings up the computer display.

"You're the one who woke me up for this." Rylis replies, taking a look at the display.

Snith hits a few times before it shows up properly.

"Here we go," Snith says. "What's your familiarity with Tatooine geography?"

"Other than there being a lot of sand? Not much. I don't usually have to leave Mos Eisley when I'm here."

"Alright... well... ever heard of the Dune Sea? North or West, doesn't matter which one."

"Heard of it, yeah, Jabba's place is out there. What, are you saying they're hiding out there somewhere?"

"I guess so. They're in the Northern Dune Sea... a little over a hundred kilometers from here..."

He starts listing off coordinates when you notice someone... or something... peering at you through the entrance to the docking bay.

"Hold on...we're being watched." Rylis says. "And I'm not sure I like that."

Snith pauses for a moment, then continues reading coordinates... though, the ones he's reading don't make sense.

Oh, and he's gesturing for you to go check it out.

Rylis will move out to see who it is watching them as stealthily as possible, as she doesn't want to give away that they know someone's there.

With whomever it is that is watching you watching you, it is pretty hard to be sneaky about walking straight towards them.

Did you want to try something else?

Yeah, sure.

"We know you're there, so there's no point in hiding." Rylis calls out as she leaves the ship. She'll walk to about halfway between the ship and the entrance where the thing is watching them from, her blaster out but not aimed at whoever it is.

"So how about you just come out here and explain what you're up to."

Hmm, basically the same effect as walking straight towards them. Whoever it is, they skitter away from the door.

Well, Rylis is going after them...

You follow out the door, into the street. A short figure dashes into the shadows of an alley across the way.
