Everyone But You, Right Through the Front Door

The blaster bolt you took earlier makes it difficult for you to do things like "run" or "lift a blaster effectively", and unfortunately that means you're a liability if this turns into a fight. Tekka will have to stand in as the face of this operation. You've had Timik rig up a tiny camera and microphone, affixed to Tekka's headdress, and matching cameras are held by Timik and Rogo. That should allow you to at least stay in touch and give orders from the Convor's cockpit. Better than nothing.

Even through the monitor you can see the doorman at Naraya's club is looking at your crew skeptically, and frankly you don't blame him. If a group of strange aliens walked up to the Convor with five mystery crates and demanded to speak with you, your crew would laugh in their faces and/or shoot them. But you hire teammates. Gangsters hire henchman. And henchman are almost invariably stupid. Instead of shooing your crew away, he asks if Tekka has an appointment.

You know how to handle chumps like this. "Ok, Tekka, these guys are always cowards. All you have to do is-"

"I'm so sorry!" Her eyes widen with concern. "I... I don't know if I have an appointment." She's chewing her lip nervously and toying with one Lekku. "My master sent me. Corvin Marks? He said I was to go directly to Naraya."

The Duros still looks skeptical, and glancea at the boxes, but Tekka suddenly springs forward and clings to him. She's arching her back, pushing her bust into his arm and looking pleadingly at him. "Can you take me to her?"

Through her camera you see the Duros' eyes are now glued to her chest. He nods distractedly, and leads your crew through the building, stopping outside of what you presume to be Naraya's office. Not how you would have handled it, but undeniably effective.

The Duros slips into the room, and you hear a flurry of heated discussion. When he returns, he looks chastened. "Naraya says only you, Twi'lek. The others take the boxes with me."

Shit. It wasn't the cleverest of ruses, but the stun weapons hidden in the boxes were integral to the plan. You punch the comms and rapidly give your orders. "Ok, new plan. Timik? Rogo? Once you're out of earshot, you'll have to take out the guards - quietly, if possible. Tekka? You're going to have to stall. Don't do anything crazy, just stay safe until the cavalry arrives."

Tekka nods graciously to the Duros. "Thank you so much! My friends will be sure to do everything you ask!" As the Duros leads your crew away, Tekka steels herself to meet Naraya.

Inside, Narays is seated behind an ornate desk, two burly guards at watch behind her. She looks particularly unamused, and at a gesture her guards roughly pat Tekka down for weapons. Satisfied she is safe, Naray begins the interview. "So Marks doesn't even bother to meet with me in person? He sends a Twi'lek... **** girl? Secretary? What are you exactly? You were with him the night we met, but you don't strike me as the bounty hunting type."

"Just tell her you're part of my cr-"

"I'm just a **** girl, for Master Marks." Why did you even bother to rig up comms, damnit. The two of you didn't exactly workshop a complicated backstory, and it's the sort of thing that gets people killed. "Master Marks means no offense, but he was injured collecting your tributes."

"You mean Jabba's tributes."

"Apologise, tell her-"

"Forgive me, but my master knows your plans." What is she doing! The guards look agitated, one drawing his blaster. "He says he could have brought the tributes to Jabba. He's more interested in a partnership with you."

Naraya holds up her hand, and the guard drops his blaster. "Clever enough. But what use to me is a bounty hunter who gets himself shot by some moisture farmer? Seems to me it might be easier to end this now, and tie up loose ends."

She... has a point. On the plus side, Rogo's screen shows he has arrived at the club's storage area, and the Dug is strangling the life out if his Duros escort. Timik is unloading the stun weaponry, and it looks like the two are gearing up to sweep the building.

You just hope Tekka has some way to stall this out long enough.
