Ask Criminal Needle Massive Haystack

[Uul Rha Shan]

Hissing as he looked down the insanely busy street just beyond the landing pads, Shan wondered just how he and his partner will find who they are looking for in this soup of beings of various races and sizes. It felt like it will be a impossible task. His previous mission he was partnered with a force sensitive the job there seemed to be much easier as peoe willingly approached the two rangers with information. Here on Nar Kaaga the reptile felt that finding people with information to willingly share will be much more difficult. It may even be dangerous just to approach a random person.

Shifting on his feet a little he caught a group of drunken beings side glancing him as they stumbled to a nearby cantina. Yes this will prove to be difficult but perhaps if they start gathering information out of drunken fools in the cantinas they may find information on where to find their target.

As much as the hunt excited him the Tiss showed he has a large amount of patience as he waited for his assigned partner to arrive. He took the time spent waiting examining the crowds of people and observing from where he stood the best places they could, hopefully, get some information. What informarion he was given during the briefing said nothing as to where they will find the crime boss they have been sent to capture. Perhaps his partner has information that will have the rough coordinates of where the criminal boss is.

His sickle shaped claw on his right foot tapped against the pavement as the raptor watched another group of beings walk into the same cantina the drunken group stumbled into. It must be quite a popular establishment. The raptor always wondered how alcohol can be so hard to resist. He himself had never tried such a drink so far and doesn't plan to try. Yet anyways. There is still much for the former slave to experience with his new freedom.

[Darius Belari]

Only a few minutes passed before Darius arrived at the entrance to the cantina, casually scrolling through the streets of Nar Kaaga until he reached the rendezvous point where he was set to meet his fellow ISC Ranger. His own upbringing within the slums of Lok meant that Darius was entirely casual within the less-than-reputable neighborhood, blending right in with the drunken, shady crowd.

Given the undercover nature of their operation, Darius opted to forgo his usual Ranger uniform for something far more unremarkable. He wore a pair of jeans and a simple white t-shirt, alongside a navy jacket over the top. He kept a simple blaster pistol and vibro-dagger on his belt, abandoning the usual sniper-rifle he typically used.

The Lokkian casually flicked the butt of his cigarra into an empty planter as walked, sapphire eyes casually passing around the crowds that flocked towards the cantina entrance. Luckily, it didn’t take Darius long to spot Shan amongst the crowds. While the pair hadn’t met prior to this mission, his partner’s rather uncommon species - and the fact that he was lingering at the edge of the crowd for no particular reason - meant that it was rather easy to deduce that he was the Tiss’shar that Darius was looking for.

Clearing the air around him with a wave of his hand, Darius proceeded to walk right up to Shan - swinging an arm around the raptor’s shoulder as soon as he was within reach. “There you are!” He flashed a grin, walking and talking as if he was addressing an old friend. “‘Bout damn time you took me up on my offer of drinks.” If Shan had any doubts about who Darius was, a subtle tug on the flap of his jacket - revealing the ISC Ranger badge that was tucked there - would dispel any such question.

“Come on, my treat.” Darius chuckled and gestured to the cantina entrance, giving the Tiss’Shar a light pat on the back as he began to walk in that direction. While it wasn’t explicitly spelled out, it was very clear that Darius wanted them to make their way into the establishment to gather information.
