STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Gunrunner

"Hello!" says the short furry thing. It is slightly felinoid, with a red mane pulled back into a tight ponytail. It hooks its thumbs into its belt and smiles jovially. It is shouting unnecessarily. "I am Senator Po of Lahsbane! Pleased to make your acquaintance, Master Jedi! How are you!"

Rand offers a smile.

"Oh, hello, Senator," Rand says. "How can I be of service? I am just about to depart for your world."

"Yes! I know! How fantastic!" Senator Po says, reaching out to shake your hand. "We don't have a lot of visitors! It's very neat! We're excited!"

"I'm... glad to hear of your enthusiasm," Rand lies. "I have not been fully informed of what is happening on Lahsbane. Only that arms have been smuggled onto your world. Could you tell me more?"

"Oh! Sure! The Huhk have blasters and are causing problems!" says Senator Po. "Normally we'd handle it ourselves, but we're not fighters! The Huhk are breaking our rules! Lahsbane avoids technology, and they've brought it!"

"Who are the Huhk?" Rand asks. He is becoming increasingly irritated by the Senator's shouting.

"The Huhk are us!" Senator Po says.

"I don't understand. Can you explain what you mean?"

"We are the Lahsbee!" Senator Po says. "Later, we become the Huhk, when we're older! The stress of growing up forces us to change! We are a very young society, Master Jedi! By our own standards, at least!"

"That is bizarre," Rand says, rudely. "What are the Huhk like? They sound troublesome and violent. I would expect a being to become wiser and more responsible with age, not the other way around."

"Sadly that's not how it works for us!" Senator Po says. "The Huhk are big and brutish and violent and impulsive and angry! They're very simple-minded! We try to care for them and keep them safe and active members of society but they're rioting now! They're causing problems and harming the Lahsbee!"

"Then they must be stopped," Rand says. "I have been instructed to find out how they are getting their weapons. Especially if you're saying that Lahsbane doesn't have any. Are there other actions you want me to take here?"

"Find out where they are getting the guns and stop them from coming!" Senator Po says. "I'm sure you'll be able to find out how they are receiving them!"

"That is my intention and my mandate," Rand says. "I will need to confirm that I am able to put an end to their insurrection before I take action, however. The Council needs to permit it."

"I'm sure they will allow you to do whatever is necessary to bring peace to Lahsbane again!" Senator Po says.

"We will see," Rand says. "What do I need to know about your capital? Where have the Huhk been launching their attacks?"

"The Huhk have been attacking the outskirts of the city but they are becoming bolder since we have not stopped them!" says Senator Po.

Rand keeps that in mind, anticipating that he may start his investigation there. But it won't be enough to start on.

"Where do the Huhk live?" Rand asks.

"The Huhk live segragated in villages!" Senator Po says. "Outside of our cities!"

"Is that something enforced by your government or is it voluntarily done by the Huhk?" Rand asks.
