Agent G

Lana: Excuse me sir, are you the man we were told to meet?

Man: Depends on who is asking and who you are looking for...

Lana: We are looking for a man who could provide us with intel on the situation here, we were told to meet him at these coordinates. We are Jedi, sent by the Republic and...

Man: Sorry miss, but I don't know about any of that... I have just arrived as you can see...

Lana: Strange, there aren't any offworlders around, expect for us...

Man: I told you, I don't know about any republican operations on the planet.

Drek: We were told to meet Agent G here, are you sure you don't know the man...?

Man: Look guys, I certainly have nothing to do with your business here... All is well here on Manaan and the Republic would never dare to do anything that would undermine the neutrality of the planet... Even if I did know something, I would know we are being watched by the Manaan authorities all the time while in public...

Lana: Wait, what...?

Man: Since certain incidents, the locals don't trust any offworlder here, so we are being watched all the time... But, as a totally harmless businessman as I am, I would like to invite you three to my house nearby, to spend some friendly time together!

Ranvi: Wait, why are you inviting us to your house all of a sudden...?

Man: Definitely not to speak about politics, as such things would get anybody under arrest here real fast. So, are you hungry? I could make some food for you at home, in PRIVATE... Can you follow...?

Ranvi: We aren't even hungry...!

Man: You could drink, if you want to...!

Ranvi: But we aren't...!

Lana: Wait Ranvi, let's just follow him, alright? Yes, some refreshment would do us good after the long travel, thanks for the offer!

Man: Good! After me!

Ranvi (whispering): Lana, what are you doing? We were supposed to meet Agent G here, not to go to the home of some random man!

Drek (whispering): Patience Ranvi, I too believe we have our man, but we can't discuss such things right now, do you get it?

Ranvi (whispering): Oh, so that's what this is about...!

You follow the man from the spaceport to the local apartments. When you are leaving the spaceport, you have to undergo a lot of thorough security checks. The officials are concerned about your lightsabers and more particularly about your weapon arsenal, but you have your official legal documents from the Republic to be on kolto business here, so they let you through, but with a lot of suspicion. When you enter the apartment, the man closes the door behind you.

Man: My goodness, aren't Jedi taught to keep a low profile these days...?! You could have just walked to those Selkath and tell them you are here to mess with their internal affairs on behalf of the Republic! You have almost blown our decade long operations!

Lana: Alright, sorry, it could have been easier if you told us who you were!

Agent G: Yeah, and ruin my years long undercover? Thanks no! So, let me brief you now. This place is free of any Selkath cameras or similar stuff, so we may speak freely now. My name is Agent Endris, call me Agent G, Republic Intelligence, RI is short. I have been on this planet for more than a year now, so trust me, when I say, the Selkath don't look kindly upon outsiders.

Lana: What have you been doing here for that long?

Agent G: The Republic, more precisely, the Senate has tasked us with establishing a secret Republic intelligence presence here on Manaan. When I have taken over, I was to be updated about anything that happens on the planet and forward it to the Coruscant HQ. This has been due to the rising power of the Trade Federation, when they invaded Naboo for the first time, the Republic began preparations for a larger scale of conflict. We have never imagined it would be this large as it is now... Anyway, as the Clone Wars broke out, the Republic reopened kolto imports, as it was expensive, a kolto stim is still far cheaper than raising, training and equipping a clone. Interestingly, the Senate didn't care about ordinary soldiers dying due to fatal wounds before, only now that money is involved... But don't get into politics.

Lana: What do you know about our mission?

Agent G: Yes, about that. The kolto filled starships have been going missing recently. They leave the underwater spaceport, but never get out into orbit, actually, they don't even leave the water. I have been tracking the happenings, but couldn't find out the whole backstory... All I know is that there is a Selkath, called Nalo Moz, he is some sort of an underworld connection between the port authorities and the Separatists.

Lana: The Separatists are involved in this?!

Agent G: Of course they are. They don't want the Republic to get any advantage in battle, so I have learned they are paying extra for every kolto shipment that never reaches its destination. The Seklath have gone a bit greedy over this war, they have been neglected for centuries and now, suddenly the Republic is desperately requires their kolto again. All we should do is catch that Selkath red handed alongside the Separatist contact, then, their government would be **** to arrest them and give the Republic the promised amounts of kolto again!

Lana: Sounds easy, but how is it that you haven't managed that so far on your own?

Agent G: I am not that much of a fighter myself, I prefer staying in the shadows, but hey, I have asked for a Jedi to help me with the muscle part and here you are! We will get to the bottom of this in not time!

Lana: It would be the first time we really get off easily from a mission!

Agent G: Here's the plan! All we need to do is stay out of sight, find Nalo Moz, call the authorities when he is doing business, have him and the Separatist arrested and allow the kolto to flow! Any questions?

Lana: Where do we begin...? Do you know his location?

Agent G: Nooo, not yet, at least... But I do know, that they are going to deliver the next payment today somewhere around dock 195. We should get there and hide.

Lana: Okay, let's go there and hope your plan works out.

Agent G: It will, my plans always work! Let's split up, so we could cover 4 docks at the same time. Whoever finds the targets, calls the others before engaging, understood? No solo missions here, that could lead to an unspeakable diplomatic catastrophe! Oh, an no mentioning of anything Republic related outside my apartment, remember, the authorities are carefully observing our every move and word! Just act casually and don't mess my mission up please!

Lana: Yeah, yeah, as if we have ever gotten ourselves into trouble...!

Drek: Well, about that...!

Ranvi: Hush!

Lana: Okay, we better get going!
