A bit of a problem. (Day 5 Early Afternoon.)

[Evencious]

Alister had something of a problem, or well that was the closest thing he could think of to the situation. So he was on the hunt for people who could help. He'd asked around a bit and some names were suggested and hopefully one or more of them would be able to help.

[Riza]

Asked for, Riza would arrive, before heading out for something with Orella she could certainly lend her time here well enough perhaps. She'd been around, spoken to some people, though she normally avoided Corellia for obvious reasons. Still, it gave her some ins on the know how of how certain things worked, and how you worked with them.

Wasn't a whole lot, but it might help.

Prepared for a simple venture, she was dressed in her casual wear with her trusty shotgun strapped to her leg in a holster as it often was on the job but was increasingly becoming more common off the job too.

[Phoebe Wren]

Coming up to the upper deck after some failed attempts at improving her gun, Phoebe had her jacket casually tossed over one shoulder, and was chewing another round of gum.

"Hello there," she gave a wave to Xavien and Riza as she moved over to find herself a seat.

[Coryn Kusat]

Coryn was happy to help and turned up to the meeting with a large steaming mug of kaff. After the events of the morning he was wearing heavy street clothes and had his pistol and dagger in easy reach. He liked Alister, and hopefully his request wouldn't involve being sniped at.

"Looks like you've got yourself a team Alister." He moved over to sit with the group.

[Evencious]

"Seems that way." Alister replied with a small frown, what was the point of a jacket you didn't wear? "Really though, sorry to call you all out like this. It's just I've ran into a bit of a problem and I figured people a bit better with negotiating then I might be able to help."

[Coryn Kusat]

"Sure thing bro. What's the problem and what do you need?" He sipped his kaff and wondered what the story was.

[Phoebe Wren]

Draping the jacket over the chair, Phoebe plopped herself down in its seat. "Of course. Always willing to help out."

[Evencious]

"Well, I suppose it's a bit of my own fault." He said with a thankful smile to the pair. "I went through some unofficial channels to get some new armor schematics and now the fellow has tripled the price he was asking for em."

"Xavien suggested I could always steal them, but I was hoping to be able to talk some sense into him. Maybe convince him to go back down to the original price? I'm not really that good at negotiating though."

[Coryn Kusat]

"Hmm, sounds like the guy figures you're desperate or rich." He looked at Phoebe and then over at Riza. "I'm sure between us we can help you out?" The negotiating on Tatooine hadn't been a total wipe.

"Give us the name and contact details and let's see what we can do."

[Phoebe Wren]

Phoebe figured that if he couldn't be reasoned with, he could probably be "pressured" to give in. One way or another.

"Sounds doable, I think." A slight frown at the thought that someone was trying to scam one of theirs. "Apart from the details," she nodded at Coryn, "anything else we should know?"

[Alister Kryze]

"He used to work for Czerka, though fell out with them about a year or so ago. Mostly seems to work on private commission now days." Alister explained to Phoebe. "Not really sure where the schematics come from, could be his could be from his former employer."

Turning to Coryn he nodded. "His name is Alezander Phelts, this is the contact info." He raised his datapad and sent some info to Coryn.

[Coryn Kusat]

With a nod to Phoebe he looked at the details on his pad. "Alright. Could be he's gotten into a bad situation and needs the extra money. Or maybe he's just greedy. Either way, let's see what we can dig up and then pay him a visit."

Turning his gaze to the quiet Chiss he added: "Got any thoughts on all this Riza?"

[Phoebe Wren]

Phoebe in the meantime connected up to the holonet of Corellia, and started to look around for anything of interest about Alezander, or something about his work with Czerka that could catch their interest.

[Riza]

"Sounds to me," she mused on request, "that our target is likely trying to sell off old stock from his time with Czerka, and even if he isn't, Czerka would be quite ready to come down on his head if there was even a hint of that going down. Could be a pressure point, something to make him more amenable to cooperation."

Alot of the information she found was rather unhelpful at least on the surface. Alexander was married and a father of two. He and his family lived in one of the nicer parts of Cornet city. He worked for Czerka in armor research until about fourteen months ago. Its unknown why he was fired but since then has moved into the private sector.

Its rumored that he took some of his designs with him when he left, and that he does some work for various syndicates. Most of that is unconfirmed though.

((Threat noted for later use))

[Phoebe Wren]

"Sharing this with you guys," Phoebe compiled her results, which was sent over to the datapads for the others to see.

"No reason as to why he stopped working with Czerka, but it might be worth checking out if what he's selling in the private sector is Czerka-designs," she nodded to Riza for bringing it up. "Though hopefully it shouldn't have to come to that."

[Coryn Kusat]

"Okay then, let's set up a meet." He looked over Alister. "Just a couple more things. What was the original price you agreed, when did you agree it, and when did he up the price?"

[Alister Kryze]

"Six thousand credits." Alister replied. "The change of price came in our most recent contact which was earlier this week. Don't think it was related to our recent kerfuffle but it's hard to say."

[Coryn Kusat]

"Alright, let's arrange a meet for tomorrow. Gives us a bit of time to dig around and see if he's into anything he shouldnt be." Maybe Coryn's new friend at CorSec could help him out with a background check.

[Evencious]

Alister nodded. "Alright, thanks you three. I don't have much in the way of spare credits, but I should be able to help you out with some mods after all thus us figured out."
