STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Thief

Office complexes, across the street on either side. The Central Bank has its own block.

Can i go in those and check one it out a bit? get a sense of the security and what its purpose is
--
Also if i do check one in, i'd like to check the exactly opposite one out too, as to form a line that intersects the bank lot, from each office complex

Both are standard office complexes- you are not allowed to wander in them quite, as both belong to the Bank. One, you learn, is used for handling bank business planetwide. The other is for handling bank business intergalactically- one of the main offices of the Banking Clan.

They are equipped with alarms and patrolled by casual night watchmen, who are assisted by a light patrol of battle droids. Way more droids patrol the bank.

Also, as an earlier note- you can fill in the blanks with the sewers as you explored them yourself. Not in excruciating detail, mind you, but well enough to find your way underneath the bank again.

Ok, what do you think the chances of me being recognized with my new haircut, and if im wearing buisines attire?

Consider it a non-issue. Your Reputation does not come into effect.

Ok, i'd like to hang out around the bank until the security guy comes out of the bank. then run up to him and say "oh, phew, thought i'd have to come back in the morning, i think i dropped my wallet inside, can i go in?"

That would require you to wait until the next night to come around, meaning you would waste an entire day! There might be a more proactive way to find him, or you can hit upon one of your other objectives.

good point, can i enter the sewers an spend a good while exploring around underneath the bank and the surrounding areas

There areas you want to explore are filled with battle droids. A waste of time, that, unless you intend to destroy them.

Yes, i do intend on destroying them, but i want to go at night, and wear my thieving uniform, and something to cover my face in-case they send my picture back to the computer that supplies the signal.

Bear in mind the dangers of destroying battle droids before you're ready to make the heist. You only have one means of destroying them, after all- your lightsaber. Very tell-tale damage that it inflicts!

And again, that leaves your day open for more preparations. You haven't seen the inside of the bank yet and know nothing about it besides that they use battle droids, and you have no way to get off-world.

mm, thats right, i never thought about the escape plan... i'd like to go to the cantina and try to find myself a pilot

Good thinking! As you have no ship or the skill to fly one, it'd be grand to get a pilot.

You head downtown to one of the cantinas you saw on your way into the city. The cantina you choose- the Harping Dragon- is bustling with activity, with the regular assortment of aliens throughout. What is your entrance like and how do you intend to find a pilot?

well, i want to just casually walk in, sit at the bar, listen to the band,then order a drink.

The bartender will fetch whatever you ask for. The band is some sort of sci-fi synth-pop-ish thing.

lol (sci-fi synth-pop-ish thing)
can i casually ask the bartender, "hey, whos the best pilot in these parts?"

The bartender- a fat and hairy man with a formidable mustache- shrugs.

"That's a matter of opinion, don'tcha think?" the bartender asks. "You're just askin' me to point you in the right direction, I feel."

"lets just say im more of a... 'no questions asked' type of guy..." Kren chuckles " but if you point me to the best pilot...i might accidentally leave behind a few credits..." kren says sliding a 100 credit chip across the bar top.

The bartender slaps a hand down on the credit you give him, Haron.

"Well," the bartender says. "Maybe I can help."

He points out several pilots in the cantina:

- A grizzled, tired old war veteran

- A fresh-faced and sassy racer

- A trio of tough but short alien smugglers

Choose one to approach.

I would like to approach the alien smugglers
"so, i heard you are the dominant pilots here.. would you like to do business together?" Haron says
