All things considered, Worlport was a nice enough city. Well, at least to Vesper it seemed nice. She was used to undercity ghettos on Nar Shaddaa, so really anything that got at least some decent natural sunlight seemed nice to her.
Sitting at an outside patio table across from her partner - a padawan named Zayn - Vesper sipped iced coffee through a straw as her gaze ran over their immediate surroundings. Large neon signs blinked what seemed like every few feet along the main drag, most of them advertising casinos but also other things like massage parlors and restaurants. That's how Worlport made most of its money, tourists attracted to neon like mynocks to starships.
One of her friends back on Nar Shaddaa had passed some info along to Vesper about a small smuggling group working in FWA territory, gunrunning for the Imperials. Apparently a few of them had gotten a little too drunk and a lotta too loud and started bragging about how many credits they'd been making. Seemed typical of the type Imperials employed. Too fucking dumb for their own good.
Apparently, another run was set to happen today, though not for a little while. Enough time for Vesper and Zayn to figure out where the freighter was taking off rom and hopefully reroute those weapons to more suitable sources.. at least that was the idea. The only info they currently had was that the group was working out of a warehouse in Worlport, somewhere in the casino district.
How are your detective skills? Vesper asked Zayn before finishing up her iced coffee, a look of mild disappointment on her face. There was never enough coffee in the cup. We've only got a couple hours to figure out where this warehouse is. Where would you start?
They may have seemed like questions Vesper should have an answer for considering this operation was her idea, but Zayn was still just a padawan. It was a good part of their training to make them take the lead sometimes, get their minds working like a Knight's should.
Gaze turning back to her cup that was now just ice and vaguely brown water, Vesper stood up and went back to the counter to get another one before returning back to Zayn a few moments later.
Figured it out yet? She asked, tilting her head slightly. Walk and talk, Zayn. Vesper said, motioning for him to stand up and get a move on. Walk and talk.
