Private Information hunt

[Garand Inho]

"What's our next move then boss?", he asked Rook "Do we wait or are we going on the offensive?" he added. Gar'n drunk as he is, know they can't stay on the defensive and need to find where they are, so they can get their target and eliminate all opposition. "We should get some of those emp balls thingamajig" he said in a slurred way, "Forgot what its called, it like a grenade but instead boom it goes zap" he continues explaining in a weird slurred way as he is quite drunk. He doesn't have much utilities on him, such as flashbang or grappling hook, as he hasn't done much job that required those kind of equipment, as he mostly only do job that required him to use his medical profession and abilities. "Didn't get a chance to use my stun baton back there". he laughed, "They didn't come near me, wanted to see what happened" as his rub the back of his head with his right hand.​

Moments later as they're kept running, "We really need to find some place to rest", Gar'n said as his face looks a bit pale, "I might need to rest a bit cause i may or may not going to puke if we're going to keep running". As the alcohol keeps effecting him, its starting to make him feeling a bit squeezy. "So if we got no where to go, like i said before i got a friend who's a mechanic that we can go to" he once again told Rook.​

Rook mentally sighed as he continued going on in his drunken fashion, blabbing on. At least his slurred words had some meaning- they did need to go on the offense, and soon. With effort- she blocked out the comment about new weaponry and sorted it into the information part of her mind. She didn't need to remember that right now. They ran on for a few more minutes before Gar'n said they needed to stop running soon, glancing over, it was clear he was a shade paler than usual.

Being a fellow doctor- Rook wondered how he could do this to himself even though he knows the damage it causes. Especially in a galaxy filled with war. She also wondered briefly about his poor patients. He then repeated about his friend the mechanic.

"That would be ideal," Rook said shortly, still working everything out in her mind. While Gar'n was continuing to talk on, she was watching Ranoe from her data pad. He had stood up and was making his way into the shop. "Interesting..." She murmured to herself.

"Gotcha boss" he said to her in delight, "I would try contacting him to give him a heads up. but i forgot his contact" he laughed. "But not to worry i know where it is perfectly and i also know he'll be delighted to see me" he paused for a bit, "I mean us" he corrected his words. Gar'n then goes ahead of Rook so he can take lead towards the mechanic he was talking about. The location of his Mechanic friends is a few level lower where the Cantina was, and it located where most of the illegal races happen. Gar'n used to race there a bit when he was younger, he won a few times where he raised a lot of money from betting.​

"Right we can use the lift to get down, and it won't be far once we arrived at the level we're heading to" he told Rook, as he continue to lead her towards the lower levels. "Who knows maybe, we can borrow some speeder from him" he grinned, "He has quite the collection i tell ya, the beauties he has in his place is amazing" he whistled at the thought of the speeders. Gar'n love racing and speeder, it was his passion when he was young even until now, he even crashed once during a race where it left a scar on his body. "Hopefully he has some drinks there" he said to himself as he smile, even though he had drank a lot, he still wanted some more as it's never enough for him. As moments later, they enter the lift that goes towards the lower levels where the Mechanic was.​

Rook wasn't much of a fan of watching races- though having participated in many. Of course not legally, mostly to gain access to otherwise impossible to come by information. She had mostly done it in her younger years, a decade before the Clone Wars. It was in one of those races that gave her the scars that littered one side of her face. Despite the permanent scarring- she wasn't afraid of racing. It still gave her a rush, which sometimes she missed. Her life in crime gave her more than enough trouble now, especially with the new Hutt trouble.

It seemed that Gar'n had a thing for Races as well- basing on the fact that he kept on going on about speeders. His next two phrases though grated her and she shot him a glare, "Ya know- you crashing your bike is a great way to bring attention to us. And you are NOT having another drink."

 

[Garand Inho]

"Psshhh i never crash unless i wanted to or someone crashes into me" he said confidently with a smile, "And also nothing wrong with having another drink, i'll only be having one more drink" he said to her trying to assure her.​

Moments later, they have exited the lift and almost reach their destination, as they pass alot of racers and spectators that we're going to watch the upcoming race in a few hours. They passed a lot of people with speeders, as there's always a lot of participant that join the Coruscant Illegal Race. Gar'n was in bliss as he saw a lot of top quality speeders, as he ogles at the bikes while passing them. "Man, if we weren't being targeted, i would definitely take part on the race" he said to Rook, as they near Gar'n mechanic place. After going past the speeders that were parked along the street, they finally arrived in front of their destination, which was a garage with 2 floor, with a sing that says Packing Shop. "Right let's go in and check if he's in" he said to Rook as they enter through the garage door which was slightly open, where once inside they saw a human with a green mohawk, wearing a welder mask who working on a speeder. The mechanic then notices someone enter his shop, and turn to look at them. "I'm busy here, can't you tell" he yelled at the two of them not noticing who they were, "Comeback tomorrow, i gotta fix this speeder before the race" he told them with a high voice. "Oi mate, it's me Gar'n" he told the mechanic, as he then finally realized and open his welder mask and looks at him more closely. "Doc?" he asked, "God dang, its Doc Rum" as he then come close to Gar'n and hugged him. "It been awhile Doc" he said as he smile, he then stop hugging and asked "What ya doin here Doc". "Heya Jay, been to long huh mate", he gave him a smile, "Needed a place to crash for a bit if you don't mind, we got a job here in Coruscant" he told him. "Sure sure, you're always welcome here Doc" he put down his mask on the table, "Go right on upstairs, i'll be right with you once i close the shop so we can talk more privately".​

Gar'n then starts heading upstairs as he signal Rook to follow him "Right will do Jay" he told him as they take the stairs, Jay said to Gar'n "Also i have some drinks upstairs if you want". "Thanks Jay, i'll take you up on that" they continue towards upstairs.​

Rook rubbed her brow, trying to banish the accumulating headache. How many people claimed that other people crashed into them? A lot. 80% at least.

She watched the conversation between Gar'n and Jay- paying little attention. She was still watching the security cameras. It seemed that coming here was the right call- the apartments were swarmed with probes. Switching her gaze to the Diner, there was no movement, but she had a feeling it wouldn't stay that way for long. Coming back to reality- she just heard the last part of the statement where Gar'n was looking forward to another drink. Greeeeeat.

She sighed but followed Gar'n when he gestured for her to follow.

Once they arrived at the second floor, they saw a table on the right side of the room, where there was a speeder design plan, and next to it was a Astromech droid that was asleep as it is charging it self. There was a lot of equipment lying around on the sides of the room, as it seems Jay tends to bring his work to the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor seems to be a mixture of furniture, from kitchenware to a bed, as there isn't any other room. There was a sofa and 2 chairs on the left of the side after you enter the room, which Gar'n pointed at it so Rook can have a seat. As for Gar'n he move towards the small fridge next to the bed, as he then opens it and search for anything he can drink. He then saw a beer, which he took and open it, as he then heads over to the table where the speeder design was. As he looks over the speeder design, Jay came up and said "What do you think?". He then goes near the table "Its a project i'm working on for some rich Corellian who has a thing for speeder, he's giving me quite the payment" he smile at Gar'n, he then looks at Rook "We haven't been introduced, my name is Jay Hurk, i am the owner of this lovely shop" he said as he smile. "So what's going on?" he asked them, "Cause i can tell this isn't a social visit, cause you usually call me first when you're here Doc" he then goes over to take a seat at a chair. Gar'n then followed Jay and seat at the chair next to him, "Yeah like i told you before, we're here on a job and we just got attacked earlier on" he answered him as takes a seat. "We need to a place to lay low and come up with a plan. and your placed cross my mind" he told Jay, "Hope you don't mind" he added as he took a sip from his beer. "No worries Doc, you're welcome anytime" he told Gar'n "Your the reason i was able to open up this shop, Champ" he gave him a pat on his back, which startled Gar'n as he then spits his beer because of it, "Ahh sorry Doc" Jay added realizing what he did. "It's okay" Gar'n told Jay as he wipes his mouth. "By the way do you still have some equipment and weapon stash you used to keep?" he asked Jay, which he replied "Yeah i still have some left, what do you need?". Gar'n then looks at rook as asked "What do we need?" as he take another sip from his beer.​

Rook gave the list from memory of all weapons that were known to have effect on droids, especially those from the Clone Wars era.
“I obviously don’t expect you to have some of this things- some are long gone, but that’s the list of things that would be effective.”
Rook said, rather absentmindedly, She was still watching the live feed. She had found a probe droid that hadn’t disappeared yet and was trying to track it. Probies were rather fast so it was a tough job to keep up with ‘Em but she was doing it.

Rook looked up for a second in thought- the most likely guess was that ‘Gin’ was going to use the Spores to eradicate all organics. Fuuuuuun.
The probe caught her attention again as it abruptly changed directions. Kriff she hoped that this one wasn’t broken

 

[Garand Inho]

"I'll see if i can find some of these, i'm not exactly a weapons shop" he smile awkwardly not to sure he has any of it, he had that stash for a long time but not that long. "I'll try but don't get your hopes up" he then goes back to the stairs, as he had his weapons stashed inside a secret compartment inside the stairs. Gar'n had just finished his drink he took from the cooler, he lost count of how many drinks he had today especially after they left the Cantina. "Can't we just throw some EMP Grenade at them?" he ask Rook, "Or are they too smart for it" he giggled as he said that. He's feeling the alcohol quite a bit now as he thought to himself if he should get a glass of water to cool himself off. "You think they're going to send another droid or will they be nice enough they'll let me sober up till tomorrow" he laughed as he said that, him getting a bit rest before another ambush would be good for him. If only he had brought his equipment, as he could use some pain killer right now.​

5 minutes later Jay came back from the stairs and handed a bag full of weapons as he set it down where we were seated. "Well i gathered as best i could, i had a few of what you listed, while the rest i couldn't find so i replace it with the best i had" as he then sat back down, "Hope these will be enough for ya two". ​

Rook just mumbled an agreement absentmindedly as Jay spoke, then he left to go search. Then Gar'n asked if an EMP grenade at them would work. He was obviously quite drunk still, he hoped that the droids would wait.

"They won't work as well- but they could work. And droids won't wait for anyone."

There was silence as she continued working when she looked up, Jay had returned and laid out the weaponry. Rook smiled at the assortment- they would do well.

"They shall work, thank you."

Jay nodded with a smile.

There were many that she listed, which was surprising as she thought most of them were unused after the Clone Wars. All would work to a great extent.

"I am tracking a probe droid now- I should have some information soon."

Indeed, the Probe droid was returning to it's source, currently a docking bay. Interesting.

 

[Garand Inho]

"Right on" he said with a loud voice, "By the way thanks again Jay" as he gave him a light salute. "No worries Doc, anytime" he laughed "You can always count on me" as he take a sip from a drink that was inside his pouch. "Think we have enough time for me to take a quick nap?" he looked over at Rook "Kinda want to close my eyes a bit as we wait", he then close his eyes so he can take a nap. "By the way Jay, how the competition these days?" he asked him as he relaxes himself, feet on the stretched long. "Well it's quite all right, though there's been few races because the Coruscant Police been going at it with closing down the race" he shook his head, "Maybe i should join the race to see how they are?" he smiled answering him. "You should so i can racked in some credits by betting on you" he told Gar'n, as Gar'n only laughed it off. Gar'n was tempted to take part at the race even though they were targeted, it might be the alcohol talking but that was something that crossed his mind. Other than that what his thinking right now will they be facing once they found the den of their attacker, more commando droid than the ones sent to the Cantina, as that won't be pretty he thought to himself.​

 

[Rook.the.slicer]

On her datapad, Rook finally found out which docking bay the probe droid was in. Bay 13. She hacked into it further and saw a ship.

She glanced up to see Gar'n starting to doze off, that would be good. Let the alcohol ware off.

Turning back to her datapad, she couldn't help freezing as Gin came on screen. A flash of painful memories darted across her mind and she let out a small moan before banishing them. Talking a small breath, she turned back to the screen. Gin was loading some crates onto the ship. Yes- yes those would be their spores.

Rook glanced up at the snoozing Gar'n. She would watch them until he wakes, then they would leave.

 

[Garand Inho]

Gar'n started to feel thirsty as he was taking a nap, as he then opened his eyes and look around. He then stands up and heads down to get a cup of water, "The water is still near the tool box right Jay?" he look at Jay who's at the table where the speeder schematics are at adding some few details on it. "Yeah as always and i just clean the cup so go ahead doc" he told him as Gar'n then heads down to get a drink. ​

Downstairs Gar'n took a cup on the self top of the toolbox where the water is next to, as he then fill his cup full of water. He then take a sip as he sighed, "I needed that so much", the water and the short nap was quite helping Gar'n with his headache after the drinking he's done. He then took a peek outside to see if the racers are still outside, as he then heads over and look over the small window on the garage door. He saw it was quite empty as it seems everyone was gone, "Huh" he said confused, "Guess they're gonna race somewhere else" he took another sip as he doesn't go deeper into why it became quiet and empty outside. He then starts walking upstairs to where Rook.the.slicer and Jay at.​
