You head to the city

At first, you think about crossing the dunes on foot to get to the city. But on what purpose? All you could achieve by that is to get lost, and collapse in the sand somewhere. Instead, you go back to the ship, and fly to a good spot behind the dunes.

Once you are there, you start asking some questions, just like you did in Jafar. And within an hour, you already found a place where you could get some work: an office with another Caregiver, where just about any smuggler could find a job. Even two wretched souls like you.

"Welcome to my humble establishment, ladies," the man says as you introduce yourselves. "What might I do for you here?"

"We are looking for work," you answer. "The outlaw kind," you add before Elena could interject.

"Well, I guess you could hunt some karakans, if that is the case. If you haven't heard of them yet, these are some nasty desert creatures, who make short work on the few crops that can grow on the planet. They make their nests under the sand. Nobody knows where exactly. But if you go to the right spot you can help thinning their numbers. You will get one teler for each kill. Just don't forget to bring back their nasal glands as proof."

"What about an actual job?" you dart.

"Well..." You can hear the man's sigh echo multiple times in the room. "There was a not so popular figure: Allen Hoch. You could have taken him down had you come a couple weeks earlier. But now he escaped from us. And not the first time to be exact. On the other hand... I guess you already proved yourselves with Neil. So I might just have a finders job for you if you are interested."

"How do you know about Neil?" you frown.

"How do I know that you were born on the Coalition colony of New Hampton? Or that you owe two hundred thousand telers worth of cash to a pirate called Garin T'ar? My job here, miss, is to know. Everything. About everyone. In the entire sector. Sometimes even beyond." The explanation is shot back to you. For a moment, you feel like you were kicked in the head by a horse. But after a few seconds you are able to regain your composure.

"So... What is this finder's job?" you ask.

"Well, sometimes folks like us think that the anyone can enslave anyone rule is meant in a literal manner. And then they go ahead and they do kidnap someone they really shouldn't have messed with. And I have to say this time they happened to get a big one: Estella Keith. The Keith might not ring a bell for you. But she is the daughter of the head of a powerful corporation. In fact, many regard her as Princess Estella Keith, due to the massive wealth she owes and the immense power she has due to it. Normally, were we not outlaws that is, this could be done in a civil manner. But this way her father will send in his private soldiers, killing folks like us left and right until they find her."

"But if we do it, we save ourselves from the carnage," you answer.

"Exactly," the man nods. "So you want it or not?"
