About..er...

*does some calculations, looks at the data-cube*

23000 credits

/\/ What exactly is that you aim to do? /\/

Buy something very valuble to me

/\/ This wouldn't be spices would it?, I hear they're very expensive /\/>

riiiight

well the order dosnt pay..... at all
so unless we can haggle down to one thousand credits and that
*points to a heavly sealed box*

No not spices...

Then the illegal way is better, illegally it's free...

/\/ And also quite pointless, it's easier to use a high powered cannon and a tractor unit /\/

I'm not sure I understand..

/\/ Blast bits off and tractor in what you can, *tuts* rookie /\/

I'm only after one thing, that's all

/\/ I'm approaching the beginning of the Kessel Run, dropping out of hyperspace /\/

well....
I suppose we can do it...
on one condition.... puppet never finds out

/\/ rodger that \/\

*drops out of hyperspace and almost straight into the run*

The object I am after is a data-cube. It will be about 5 inches squared, it should be glowing red and have my name inscribed on the surface

/\/ See you in a minute /\/

*shuts communication channel*

well alright...
I can't imagine why a data cube would cost you so much....

It's....special

*puts a hand unconsciously round the back of his neck, under his hair and rubs nervously*

*sensor blip of the Retribution disappears to be replaced by the signature of a smaller Imperial patrol*

/\/ This is the Imperial Aquarius Patrol, you are nearing the beginning of the Kessel Run, continue straight ahead at one half impulse, you should reach Kessel shortly /\/

your not looking for a holocron are you....
