"The simplest answer to your question Lyn, is that we won't be contacting the pirates directly. The information broker Tao’ni will be our first contact. An information broker that while high on the list but is not on top seems the perfect target for a lose lipped pirate to lose a piece of incredibly valuable information to, assuming he actually wants it spread to every major pirate in the sector." Zilam rests in his chair trying his best to seem relaxed. "As for acquiring separatist weaponry we have three options. First; we ask our handlers to provide what we need. Second; we hit the Clankers and steal what we can of theirs. Third we hit the sepratist fleet ourselves in a quick heist to steal enough to make our information look enticing. With weapons in hand we sell what we can to someone on the station that will notice. I will go to the Cantina, and with a little luck I will arrange a private dance with Miss Tao’ni letting it slip that we acquired the weapons relatively easily for the separatist fleet, and that we are going back quickly before our short window of time closes. If my theory holds she will sell the information at a premium to anyone looking for some quick cash. The promise of a mountain of easy credits will bind the pirates together for an initial attack. Though their fighting spirit man not last long against the separatist's blasters." The Jedi intentionally glosses over using the force to compel Tao'ni to play a part in his plan, keeping his ability to shape minds to himself.<br/><br/>"With my part done we shall move on to stage two. Chi and Vek will visit Artora Thorin under the guise of buying a series of upgrades for our ship in a short frame of time. I am afraid I know little about starship maintenance other than how to fly one. I will have to defer to Chi for any information on what we would be looking to buy that would make our plan seem more plausible. The point of this is to monitor the mechanic for emergency orders from other groups, this will give us some idea of how many groups have taken the bait. Getting Vek inside one of each groups ships to slice their communications is ideal but not required to make this plan function. This will likely be the most dangerous part of the mission, and I dislike putting Chi and Vek in danger with my own ability to assist severely diminished. I see no other options though."<br/><br/>Shifting in his chair, the Jedi turns to Lyn. "If any of us get in over our heads it will be up to you to pull us out. Without my lightsaber I am not much use in battle, and will have to rely on you to do most of the fighting. If we are forced to abandon our mission, or the danger is too great I will ignite my blade, but only as a last resort. I dislike putting all our safeties on your shoulders alone, but having watched you train I have no doubts to your strength and skill. Once we are about the separatist flag ship we will have much more fun for you."<br/><br/>Zilam smiles warmly at the assembled crew. "Any thoughts?"<br/><br/>
