  You are Figrin D'an. Your band, the Modal Nodes, is very popular, and you make a good living. Being a smart bith, you try to stay away from risky situations and shady characters. However, in the Star Wars galaxy, trouble is unavoidable.
  
  You have just finished playing at the Mos Eisley Spaceport. While packing up, you overhear...some deadly news!
  
  [Author's Note: If you think Star Wars made no contribution to the music world, think again. Not only is there John William's amazing compositions, but there's also the infamous.....Cantina Band!Play as the head of the Modal Nodes (the real name of the band)! Your comfortable exsistence is shattered when your brother is involved in a mysterious speeder crash. While investigating, you run into dangerous stituations and evil villians. It'll take all of your wits to solve the mystery, unveil a vile plot, and make your next gig on time...and alive. Good Luck, Have Fun, and "May the Kloon Horn Be With You"!]
  
  > Deadly News
  Packing up your kloo horn, you overhear two greens duros talking in a nearby booth.
  
  "The journey here was rough, no?"
  
  "Aye. But we were lucky. Many travelers have suffered worse fates."
  
  "True. Why, I just heard news that a speeder was attacked outside of Mos Eisley."
  
  "Surely it was just a tuscan attack?"
  
  "I am unsure...."
  
  This conversation bothers you. Your brother Barquin was traveling on speeder, coming to meet you at this bar. You were anxious to see Barquin, because during your last conversation, he'd sounded very uneasy.
  
  Let's go investigate.
  
  > To the scene of the crime....I mean, crash.
  You race out of the spaceport. Word of the accident has spread fast, so it's easy getting directions to the crash site.
  
  You find the wrecked speeder. Local officers are examining the scene. They confirm that is was Barquin in the speeder!
  
  "Yes, but what happenned?" you ask wanting to know more about the crash.
  
  "It was probably just an accident, due to a vehicle malfunction or bad driving", an officer replied bluntly. "We have no reason to suspect to foul play."
  
  "But there's no body!"
  
  "A tuscan attack, then. Look, this planet's got a lot of problems, and I'm not wasting my time yet another speeder wreck. This 'case' is closed." Annoyed, he offers no more information.
  
  Soon, you are left alone by the wreckage. You are displeased by the authories' answers. Barquin was sharp-he wouldn't be careless with his speeder. And if it was tuscans, that means the local people are in danger.
  
  You must take matters into your own hands. What are you going to do first?
  
  > examine Speeder
  You see something under the crashed speeder.Oh....It's just a wamprat. OWWWWWWW!!!! He bites your 11th finger. Drats-that hurt, and you hope the rat wasn't diseased!
  
  Quuaaaannk! Something just clinked on in the speeder. You stand up to see what it is. It's the rader... it wasn't broken!? BEEEEPP!!! There's something on the screen. It's showing three beings in a single-file line..... tuscans, mabye.......?
  
  > examine Radar
  You read the radar. It shows one living being and two droids. Whether they're friendly or not......well, no radar could reveal that.
  The three beings are approachig the speeder fast. You need to make a decision....pronto!
  
  > hide among some rocks
  You take cover and pull out your binoculars. You see a creature masked covered in dirt-colored robes. Walking beside him is a protocol droid with bug-like eyes. The other one looks like an assassion droid! However, there may be no cause for worry, because it is sleeker and more complex than your average, illegal IG-88. The creature is armed, and the trio is heading into Mos Eisley.
  
  What are you going to do?
  
  > go back to the speeder
  You examine the speeder further. Inside the second row of seats, you make an amazing discovery: lethal-looking needles. These are not used by sandpeople; it's something a bounty hunter would use. You're sure that an IG-88 assassin droid has needles similar to these, though shorter and more fragile.
  
  What are you doing to do with this evidence?
  
  > go the spaceport & ask around there
  You head into the Mos Eisly spaceport. It's a rest stop for smugglers, bounty hunters, and shady folks of all kinds. Somebody here is bound to know about assassin droids and deadly needles!
  
  "Hey! Doikks Nats!", you shout. He's the Fizz (a.k.a Doremian Beshniguel) player in your band. He's at the bar, still relaxing after today's show. Conversing with him is tall, rough, dark-skinned human.
  
  "D'an!", Nats exclaims. "Grab a seat, please." As you join Nats, he introduces you to his companion. "This is Treme Chenier." The man gives you a slight nod, but says nothing. "He's a droid manufactuer", Nats continues.
  
  "Really?", you say . "What kind of droids do you usually deal with?"
  
  "I sell any droid that's profitable", Treme says gruffly. "What are you interested in?"
  
  What's your reply?
  
  > show him the darts in private
  Treme looks at Nats, who nods. "Alright", Treme says.
  
  He leads you to a booth in the back of the spaceport. After making sure everybody is obsurbed in their own business, you pull out the needles. "I'm wondering", you start to say, but Treme cuts you off
  
  "Where didya get those!?", he exclaims. A few people glance over to see what the fuss is about. You and Treme remain silent for a few moments until they lose interest.
  
  "I found these needles. They were in the speeder that crashed. I want to know...."
  
  "Why were ya lookin around the wreck?", Treme interrupts. "You're not an officer...."
  
  "No!', you reply. You decide to tell Treme the truth. "Look, my brother was the one in the wreck, and I think it was no accident. So, I want to know what these needles are from. I thought they may have have come from an assasssin droid of some sort."
  
  "It looks like that, but....these needles are different from an IG-88's. These ones are strudier, longer", Treme says as he carefully inspects the evidence. "Must be a new prototype, 'cause I've never see...." he pauses, suddenly looking very intently at the needles. "I know who these are from", Treme says grimly. "I've made to many illegal droids from this scumbag to forget 'im. The needles are from a droid of Zuckuss', the Gand bounty hunter. They're engraved with mystic symbols, the crazy scum. He's into religious rituals and such."
  
  > Wow!
  You tell Treme about the trio you saw enter Mos Eisley today. He confirms that the hunter was Zuckuss, the droid was his companion 4-LOM, and.....
  
  "I dunno about dat last droid. It sounds kinda like an assassion, but....."
  
  Suddenly, you get a brainwave. "The droid was like an assassin but not quite. The needles were like those from an IG-88 but more lethal. Assassion droids are uncontrollable, but I believe Zuckuss just solved this problem. He made a new model, one that was more deadly and reliable. Today, Zuckuss chose a random victim to test it on; this was Barquin." You pause, feeling a lump in your thoart.
  
  Treme adds to your idea. "Rumor has it dat there was no body. Zuckuss....or however it was...must've hid it 'cause the corpse would show obvious sign of poison."
  
  You start to realize the consequences of your investigation. Accidently, you've stumbled unto a plot: a plot to make "better" killing machines. If Zuckuss' prototype worked, that meant mass killing would be a breeze. And today, the mysterious droid had succeeded in killing Barquin. Who would dare block the ruthless hunter's destructive path?
  
  As if on cue, Zuckuss enters the bar.
  
  > carefully leave...NOW!
  Zuckuss may have caught wind of your revealation.
  You get out, especially since you know now what tricks he has up his sleeve...
  
  Reluctantly, you have been thrown in the middle of a dangerous plot.
  There's no turning back-if the bounty hunters decide to track you down, you might as well foil their plans and save the galaxy.
  
  Smile your a --> O<winner!
