The Taris Event Chapter 3
Before leaving the Sweet D Eli would change back into his normal attire
Once arriving at the Bantha I'll ask ask Cuspar to order me some lunch and a water to drink, then I'll look for Jax and also for So Leet. If they are both here then I'll stop by So Leet's table the inform him that the jedi is at the corner booth and ask him to move tables out of defference to the newcomer. If So hasn't arrived yet I'll head straight to Jax's table.
"Jax, welcome to Tattooine. It's nice to meet you in person."
Eli will extend his hand for a handshake
assuming it's taken after the handshake I'll take a seat and continue
"It's been an eventful morning already, once everyone gets their orders in and we're all seated we can do some quick introductions and we'll try to get you up to speed. I will tell you right now that we have several members of our team that are not here presently so you'll be meeting them either later today or in the coming weeks. 2 of them are currently off planet attending to a family matter. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the membership of the Senate, however apparently Senator Amm'nel from Bothuwai dies in a shuttle accident, and his son Dood was amongst our group, so he and a former soldier went to Bothuwai for the funeral and they will be returning probably in a week or so with luck. One other member of our team, Bulwark Migs, is currently investigating a speeder crash site, we can get more into that in a minute. And I'll let the rest introduce themselves."

"Oh not much. Somebody got killed, and the cops are investigating. I haven't got much beyond that." he punches in your order and pours you a drink.

Thanks Bran
Syric takes his ale and goes to sit with Eli (and probably Cuspar by now), giving the Jedi a friendly nod.

We have...had been friends my entire life. I know that he arrived at the Temple when I was about four years old but I don't have any memories of that time.

What is on Tatooine that will lead to the Sith, Hortell and Quax? Have you learned anything about Darth Galt?

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
The area is roped off with a bright yellow cable. The skimmer has the wrecked speeder chassis being lifted onto with a repulsorlift. You do not see any body, but did notice a medical vehicle driving off as you arrived.Bulwark wrote:Bulwark arrives at the site of the exploded speeder. There are a few cops milling about and a large transport skimmer preparing to hauls the wreckage away.
Bulwark aproaches the skimmer and looks for any clues.
OOC: No dice at work, can you roll perception and Survival(tracking)?
Take 20 on perception (no time restraint) +14= 34
Take 20 on survival (no time constraint, no penalty of failure) +14=34
Looking around you see what appears to be the blast site. The marks on the ground combined with the blast marks on the speeder suggest that one charge was on the ground to disable the vehicle then a second explosion emerged from inside the vehicle making the external shell of the vehicle bulge outward. With the sand storm it is pretty difficult to make out tracks in the ground but you do notice several droid tracks. They look familiar, but it doesn't quite click where yet.
While you are searching your comm clicks again. Check PM for the message.
After you check the message one of the Police comes up and starts asking you questions.
"Hey this is a crime scene you can't be messing about until we are done here. What's your name?" he says.

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
Bulwark looks up from the wreckage, "Im Bulwark, nice to meet you. Do you have any idea what happened here? Did the speeder run over an old landmine or was it some sort of internal mechanical failure? Whatever it was, it sure tore that thing apart."
Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
"Nothing directly on Tatooine, however it appeared to us to be the next step. But to answer the 2 questions you have posed I think I will have to start from the beginning and when we are done hopefully you will have the answers to those questions, but I'm sure you will also have many new ones."Gandolfini wrote:We have...had been friends my entire life.

Eli will then launch into an executive summary of what has happened so far hitting all the important story points thus far - if you want me to bullet it out or write it out I will. Otherwise for brevity's sake I was hoping we can consider Jax up to speed and we get rolling.

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
"We aren't exactly sure. And I'm not supposed to comment on ongoing investigations, but that said it would appear to my eyes that the speeder was stopped, a grenade was tossed under it, and either that caused a secondary explosion or there was a second grenade tossed into the passenger area. We found a pretty badly charred Twi'lek body. The ID cards said Ro'talth of Bryx. We don't show signs of anyone else hurt. Kinda hard finding eye witnesses too." He looks at you "What kind of work you doing around here? You seemed to be looking pretty intently on the scene a second ago."Bulwark wrote:Bulwark looks up from the wreckage, "Im Bulwark, nice to meet you. Do you have any idea what happened here?

[OOC] I will assume this includes Joun's capture, the Lok events, getting the Sweet D on Tat, Wailer getting leads on Lok, meeting on Bryx, the villa fight in broad strokes, Mr. T's involvement and Ro's disappearance.Furiel wrote: Eli will then launch into an executive summary of what has happened so far hitting all the important story points thus far - if you want me to bullet it out or write it out I will.

And excludes Bulwark's paranoia regarding Fandango, Bulwark shooting Ro, Syric shooting Bulwark, how Wailer bought the PW and details on the villa fight. [/OOC]
Thank you for bringing me up to speed. I have a few questions. The first is how did Wailer afford to buy a ship and Slick here? The other is what did Wailer do to attract the fire of all those droids?
As for Fandango, I have no concerns. Slick has already told me about it and I will share Slick's faith in it.

As for how he got the attention of all of the droids at once, when he followed me outside instead of using his lightsaber to attack he instead used some sort of what I assume was a force attack that caused him to shoot what looked like lightning. It appeared to do severe damage to the Frenzy class droid and I can only assume that in the droids threat priority matrix they always have jedi at the top, so once he used a force attack like that he became droid enemy #1."

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
Jax looks troubled as he says What Wailer did wasn't a Jedi attack but a dark side, or Sith, attack. Did Wailer spend any time with the Sith on Lok? Were the Sith on Tatooine when Wailer disappeared?Furiel wrote:"I honestly have no idea how he afforded it.

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
At the mention of "Eli sensing the dark side in Wailer", Cuspar's interested is piqued. He turns to look at Eli.

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 3
Eli looks confusedly at Jax, "I'm not sure what you mean, however I never suspected he was working with the Sith. Wailer was with us under guard the whole time on Lok, although the Sith did take his lightsaber with him when they left as they found it wherever he had hidden it inside. When we left Lok we started a different destination than Tatooine to the spaceport authorities and we cleaned off and destroyed all of the bugs that had been placed on the ship before we decided on Tatooine as our destination so I can't conceive of a way the Sith had been on Tatooine when Wailer disappeared for the day, and we have been keeping an eye out for them everywhere we go."Gandolfini wrote:Jax looks troubled as he says What Wailer did wasn't a Jedi attack but a dark side, or Sith, attack.

Thank you. I am glad to hear that it is unlikely that Wailer was swayed by the Sith. When he was younger, Wailer used to cause Force Lightning to appear between his fingers and would sometimes shock others as a prant but it stopped. Perhaps he mastered the technique on his own.
Jax pauses for another moment before he says But did you sense the dark side in him? Do you know how to do that yet?
