At the secluded, and presumably secret, holo-meeting location, Ymira and Xander listened as Bargos the Hutt explained the task that they were obviously expected to do. The former was the Mirialan smuggler who has, much to her misfortune, crashed a ship belonging to Bargos and was now indebted to the slimy Hutt for a massive number of credits. The latter was a technician of a sort. He was smooth with a computer terminal, but his escape from his home world and other implications from a job gone wrong locked him into his own debt, and not only to one unsavory individual.
Meanwhile, in Bargos’ office, the hired gun and one-time pirate, Zavi Moteris was brought in person before the Huttese crime lord. He was soon after joined by a Rodian female with a bright pink shock of hair on her reptilian head. The Rodian glanced briefly at the purple-furred Squib and nodded, but didn’t say anything, Through the holo-video connection, the Rodian was recognized by Ymira as her rescuer, Roona.
"Ah, here at last! Let's cut to the chase." Bargos chuckles, his voice so deep it vibrates in your bones. "I am now the owner of an oridium mine just Coreward of the glorious territories controlled by Nal Hutta. The previous owner tells me that it should provide a cut of 100,000 credits each year." He smacks himself with a ham-like fist before indicating yourselves with an expansive gesture and continuing. "This should be good news for both me and my associates, no?"
Bargos pauses for a moment then continues his story. "You are to travel to this mine and take a record of its operations. Nothing too detailed, but I want to know what assets it has, how many employees, and such. I want to know if the staff is properly equipped and doing their duty. Lastly, I want my first 100,000 credit cut collected; the mine should have the payment available." He utters another, slightly more sinister chuckle at this point. "So, when can you leave?"

Re: Debts to Pay
Zavi:
Once more Zavi was summoned to the lair of the Hutt crime lord with whom he was indebted. Once in the office, Zavi took a spot that with past experience would give him the least amount of slime and drool on his fur. A Rodian was also shown in shortly after. She nodded at Zavi; Zavi responded in kind. A Holo-Vid came to life showing others involved in whatever endeavor Bargos had cooked up this time.

Zavi's whiskers twitched for a moment. If this mine was such a great buy and made many credits, then why did owner want to sell it? Something didn't add up in the Squib's mind."Ah, here at last! Let's cut to the chase." Bargos chuckles, his voice so deep it vibrates in your bones. "I am now the owner of an oridium mine just Coreward of the glorious territories controlled by Nal Hutta.

"This should be good news for both me and my associates, no?"
“So, Big Boss wants Zavi and fresh meat to check out Big Boss' newest possession?”, Zavi speaks up suddenly. “We can leave as soon as we can get transportation. Where are the other fresh meat?”Bargos pauses for a moment then continues his story. "You are to travel to this mine and take a record of its operations.

Re: Debts to Pay
In the lair of Bargos the Hutt, two barely familiar indigents stood before the slimy crime-lord. Bargos was not typical in appearance, he was skinny by Hutt standards, and extra slimy. One of the two was the Rodian who went by the name of Roona. Zavi, the Squib, didn't know if she had a family name. Rodians always seemed to die before you could really get to know them. They were aggressive and sometimes rash. Often trying to prove their mettle by being first in an endeavor. That was dangerous out here on the Outer Rim. Rodians in general also had a rank smell to them. Some of them were self-aware enough to cover the offending odor. Zavi was thankful that Roona happened to be one of those self-aware individuals, as she moved close to his side, also hoping to avoid being spit or drooled on accidentally. She actually smelled pretty good, Zavi decided.
Bargos began his statements of the situation and the oridium mine of which he had recently come into possession. The forming group would be tasked with going to the mine and collecting Bargos' payment.
Bargos laughed at the question for a moment. "Grancha butamalia!", he said, still chuckling to himself. Roona seemed to become slightly excited at these words, as her upper ears twitched about.
"Mine is from bet," the Rodian said in her rough Basic, turning to Zavi. She rolled a few chance cubes around in her suction tipped fingers.
Zavi saw the Mirialan female and the Human male; more of the "fresh meat". C3-P9 continued, "We are waiting for the arrival of one more individual which will round out your team. Do any of you have any further questions?"

Roona caught the slight indication of concern on Zavi's furry face. "Cleezo farr," the Rodian whispered to the Squib in her native language. She then switched to poor Huttese to ask her question of Bargos, " Kava doe unubunko?"Zavi's whiskers twitched for a moment. If this mine was such a great buy and made many credits, then why did owner want to sell it? Something didn't add up in the Squib's mind.

The protocol droid C3-P9 was next to speak up. "Bargos has retained a ship for your trip to Oridelve Mine. You are to travel to Mos Shuuta where the Trandoshan captain of the Krayt Fang will be waiting to transport you to the planet Gavos. Two more members of your team are watching now on holo-vid from just outside Mos Shuuta themselves." The droid pointed to a nearby vid-screen and a 2x2 series of images popped onto the screen showing the two protagonists who were also part of the meeting. Clearly cameras were directed from all corners of the room.“So, Big Boss wants Zavi and fresh meat to check out Big Boss' newest possession?”, Zavi speaks up suddenly. “We can leave as soon as we can get transportation. Where are the other fresh meat?”
