Things could be going more smoothly.  It sounded like an easy enough job; find the Tapani agent named Klieri, help her resolve her problem, and profit.  Ch'otta the Hutt is more interested in trading information and raw materials than spice or contraband, so with luck you might even avoid any entanglement with Imperial or Corporate authorities. Klieri had contacted him several days ago, looking for help in rooting out traitors within her own organization.  Ch'otta sent Sen Shai and Gudluk to help her out--after all, currying favor with House Pelagia could open up some interesting possibilities. Your mandate was fairly broad--Ch'otta prefers independence and initiative in his hirelings. As long as you get results, he is usually easy to please.<br/><br/>The doorman gave you a strange look when you arrived however, and asked if you were with the group of ladies who were looking for your contact just a few minutes ago.  When you got to the second floor you heard the sound of blasters--the final punctuation marks of a conflict.  After the last shot the floor is silent.  If they're home, none of Klieri's neighbors seem interested in investigating the sounds.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Miyaka is able to pry loose the processor without too much trouble--it looks like it suffered some serious damage in the fight. With a few minutes time, she should be able to pull data from the broken datapad as well.<br/><br/>As Corana pokes her head out the door, she can see that none of the neighbors have stepped out to investigate the sounds.  There is a pair of beings a hundred meters down the hall or so, stepping off the turbolift--they're not human, and they look more like spacers than the spies that were following the trio earlier.
