USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (DARK SIDE)- Destiny

Well, if that's the case, then Rand is telling Zorin about their destruction of the General. No need to hide it from him.

No wait, there is of course that one thing that knowing something that no one else knows gives us a great advantage, but if we tell someone, we have no guarantee that the next day not everyone else in the freaking galaxy will know, a) drawing attention to us and b) having someone else suddenly turn up to milk whatever advantage the droid army and especially the invaluable riches the planet offers leaving absolutely nothing for us behind, especially if there's no reason whatsoever to tell.

Really, as long as we aren't absolutely sure that the mayor of a major town on a now dead planet which could, overnight, become one of the hotspots of the galaxy, possibly putting him in a position of unmeasurable power, is our BFF, I'd only share the most necessary info we need to.

Ok, well, you can decide what to tell him!

Meanwhile he is processing the bounty, which uses one of the more hi-tech parts of his office as the kill is registered.

He keeps a pretty hefty slice for himself, by the looks of things, but it is 10000 credits for each of you, as promised.

Well, my reasoning was that now we can ally with Zorin to claim the riches of the Desert for us. I doubt we will have time to do it all ourselves while tracked by Bureau, so friendly Sheriff would be useful. If he refuses, we can replace him.

Well, then you would kill him, wouldn't you?

Either way, I think we should consider the options before we employ someone blindly.

You'd still kill him. He'll soon see the reports about other people that tried this sort of thing with you guys, and besides, it;s not as if you act rationally.

And if he is in hiding- assuming he can pull that off- he won't be in charge of the planet, and hence he won;t be getting even a tiny fraction of the money he could do out of this place.

Well, if you say that's how it's going to be, then I obviously agree. But from just looking at the situation, I just don't see the advantage in telling him, while, the risks seem more obvious.

The issue is that you need him. A big company doesn't, and he's seen how those big companies do business (i.e. with robot armies).

So what would he get out of trying to partner up with business? He just loses his leverage.

At first Xavier would have been reluctant to tell someone about the General.

Thinking about it more though, it would still be a extremely dangerous place to head into, as those droids are not something to kid around with.

Also if we are to continue to use this place we do need someone to have the information needed to begin exploiting for ourselves.

And also as Ush has said before the last Zorin saw a big business come in it was with a giant droid army which has been nothing trouble for him.

Well, he is the only one we really know here. And, as Ush pointed out, we would probably be safe in telling him.

Either way, I think we should talk about what our plans, hopes, wishes and dreams for this place are.

Sounds like a good point.

I mean let's look at what this planet offers.

Decent seclusion from outside forces, as Zorin said no one wants to come to this dead planet.

A wealth of resources to be had.

And a droid army that is currently leaderless. You know thinking back on it. It may have been a good idea to try and salvage whatever device the General was using to control the troops, or at least figure out what it was.

I guess yeah, we should tell him. We can't do much keeping the info to ourselves.

But we still cannot stay inside the Republic, right? At least officially, so Zorin would have to be frontman of our business on this world.

Everyone should pleased with our newfound supply of money. Don't spend it all in one place, ladies and gents.

Rand graciously accepts the credits that Zorin forks over for the bounty, having been some time without any form of money.

"Zorin, did you know that the robot armies were led by a main coordinator unit, known as the General?" Rand asks. "Because I wish to inform you that we have destroyed it and ruined the strategical power of the battle droids that infest the Desert of Stones. Over time, Zorin, they will no longer be a threat! We have opened up a whole new road of possibilities for you, I suppose. Sure, you benefit from the bounties we can bring in for you, but imagine what would happen if we were able to mine the Desert of Stones, after eradicating the droids?"

Yeah, I would assume so, too. I mean we can't operate openly. Now we just have to recruit Ogros for our cause, and we don't have to manage anything at all anymore.

Originally posted by Newjak
Yeah if only someone had dealt with the Ogros thing permanently before then he still wouldn't be a problem 😛

We were set up, I swearz....and I must have had lost all my awesome fighting might, for some reason.

But, we will get him, don't worry. He's going to be our Saddam. (70s Saddam, obviously)

Also how much time do we have before we have to bail out, Ush?

Also Xavier will make the notion that using the credits we just got buy a bunch of supplies for the base could be a good thing.

Also another thing on the agenda. I say we need to buy Blasters and start training a group of Eperians to use them so they are more combat viable.
