With the success of the mission and another influx of credits, the team has decided to once more pay the remaining portion of Roona's bounty to Teemo the Hutt. This time Xander will handle the transaction. He's done this sort of thing before in work for his other "boss" Seedoneo. The team decides to remain in Karsteeku a few days in order to take in the milder climate inside the pressure bubbles that all Rodian cities have.
Irdis was offered an opportunity to join the team, needing one of his skills. And he agreed with their attempts to throw off any impositions on their ability to pave their own way through the galaxy. Unfortunately one of those very impositions soon came calling. One day a single channel message signal came through on the ship's control panel. Xander gathered the rest of the team, assuming it would be important and the booming voice of a Hutt rang out. Ymira was ready to greet their boss and benefactor, Bargos, when surprisingly the Hutt introduced themselves as the great and mighty Sinasu! That was certainly unexpected.
Sinasu is a moderately connected crime lord, who explains that he is based out of the smuggler's moon Nar Shaddaa, which is in Hutt Space. Sinasu explains that he was in fact the one who funded the other half of their ship purchase and he was ready for use of that ship now. Sinasu is giving the team an opportunity to repay part of their cost, should they successfully take a special cargo on a smuggling run from Tatooine to Nar Shaddaa. Sinasu explains that he deals in exotic species, both collecting and giving as gifts. They are to meet one of his associates, a Rodian named Jora at Vapor Station. Roona explains that Vapor Station is a small canyon outpost about 100 kilometers outside Mos Eisley. Now it is just a home for thugs and thieves, she explains.
Regardless of other plans, the team was now headed back to Tatooine!
