"Hey look at this, its a security badge." Darmak whispers several of the bins had useless stock items in them but the laundry bin in the corner had what looks like Todan uniforms in it. "DR. H.R. Complaint, assistant director weapons development division. I thought Numgar was just a smuggling pirate. To bad none of the uniforms fit, but I think we can get out with this." Looking around the room. "Good thing this isn't a secure facility. help me up this shelving system." climbing up the shelves supported by Ry'quer, Darmak lifts the tile of the hanging ceiling looking for the ceiling gap.(wit=11 w=4)"if we can find the gap we can climb through the ceiling down the hall, away from the guards then use the card to open doors."

It was a simple day on the city sky bus. the usual's were in their seat as it ascended for its first morning peek above the city to see the bright Todan sun. Many of the occupants this would be their only glimpse of the sun for the day. Everyone was shocked at the loud thud that hit at the front of the bus, the smallish dent in the roof, followed by the tumbling noise that move toward the back of the sky bus. The alarm started sounding and people complained as they knew that life in the great city had once again made them late for work. A few of those used to this life were among those to notice a clump of robes and clothing fall past the window and thought curiously to themselves whether the poor souls was going to make all the way to Lower Todan proper.

He calmly put away his plasma swords and then keyed up his comms. "This is Vice. I need all guards on alert and moving towards the lower levels. Our Renai friend just took a tumble out of the conference room window. I want her body recovered. Leave only my personal guard detachment with me."

"I'm So tired of dealing with smugglers and pirates." wind was roaring past her ears, her arm ached. Her ribs were going to not like this at all. she had seen the garbage hover scow coming through the shattered glass. It would hurt but best not to think of that now. Thankfully the refuse was covered in a tarp that may cushion the fall. Things are looking up. Cushioning should have been the last thought. striking the taught tarpoline caused her to bounce. The garbage truck was passing by with slowness as time seemed to stop. Jaladra reached in desperation for a flapping tie down rope at the back of the scow. The weight of her body pulled the fraying rope through her hand causing searing pain that increased as the unnoticed flopping hook at the end of the rope caught hold of the meaty portion of her hand. slamming against the side of the scow Jaladra screamed and reflexively cut the rope with the plasma sword.
Her decent was short as she landed on the top of a sky bus, leaving an uncoordinated bloody trail to the back of the bus roof. The bloody palm print left on the back of the bus proved to a good focal point as she tumbled of the bus into what seemed to her, oblivion. For some reason in that brief span of seeming weightlessness, her Renai ceremony returned to her. "May the force be with you always." she had just an instance to calm herself with the thought "I am one with the force" when a cushioned impact slammed the breath out of her chest. "I am one with the force...." whispered out of her as cold unconsciousness over took her.

Mendek Stargamon. had carved a niche market out for himself in the upper crust of Todan society. off-worlders loved there lush grassy confines. Todans loved their rocks and ornate carvings. Mendek was delivering what the rich people wanted their grass. With the early afternoon sun shining on his sod hauler he was making a pretty good delivery today. He had won the contract for the roof of the space port resort. As much as he liked rocks he enjoyed seeing people play in his grass.
He brought the sky truck in to land. As he was setting up his loader droids he noticed a piece of material hanging off the top of the truck. Climbing up to look into the cargo area he pulled down what looks like a torn bloody robe. getting down from his hauler, he looks around. It was a daikini robe to be sure. but how it got there he might never know. wadding up the robe he throws it into the nearest garbage can and continues unloading that which will make him rich today.

"Yeah, Numgar's actually a legitimate business man now, playing both sides of the war for the military-industrial development of Helmar. Maybe I should have mentioned that... My bad."
He helped Darmak find an opening and they both crawled into the tight hole, into a rather large area with decent headroom. They only had to duck and watch where they stepped. Many many many wires ran through the building, and access areas like these were designed so that the Teratodes could comfortably walk between floors and conduct maintenance, much like a jeffries tube on a ship.
"Yeah, then when we see the guards, we can overpower them all with this small, terrifying... plastic card. heh. Anyway, quick thinking back there. I hope Jaladra's doing okay. Hey, should I ask? Who actually has the datastik?"

"Well if they thought it was us they probably wouldn't have left us as unguarded as they did. They think Jaladra has it or they wouldn't have left us. It was quick thinking on her part to keep them focused on us. She doesn't dislike Todans, but if it comes between them and money they usually go for money every time." looking around in the conduit space Ry'quer feels awkward as Darmak leans in and whispers, "Kofi's teddy bear." He smiles at Ry'quer and keeps moving down the conduit.

Looking back the way they came Darmak counts the vestibules and tries to gauge whether they have gone far enough. " shhh" motioning to Ry'quer "listen" as they quiet down Darmak listens for voice in the room below them. (wit=14 w=5)

As the image flashes at the screen she looks down and sighs. gathering her breath she looks up again to see the last seconds of a Recall ad depicting some alien world known as mars? not helpful, the next one that comes up is for sky cruise resorts, heading for the exotic inner galaxy regions. "Now that is something I can get behind." she stands up and heads for the door.

" everything should be fine, but getting my ship back is the least of my worries. We have to figure out where the #$*@#$ the package is. Samantha Scan for any sort of trace of our 'friends'" Samantha do weeps happily as she floats a bit higher in the air and starts her scan. [6V6 => (5 +6 +4 +4 +1 | wild die: 5) = 25 for Tracking]

//Jaladra is nowhere to be found, the boys are in the vents on level 15. Also Samantha found that Numgar guy who tried to come on to you on a job, then screwed you out of the profits.

Ry'Quer listened and heard two shocktroopers making chitchat as they walked underneath them, then two Teratode office jockies walking opposite, complaining about it.
"So are we just going to crawl through the ventilation until we suddenly find... I dunno, Nalum Wieepo and a platoon of liberators? I think we're totally off-script here."
