I ruffled my feathers in annoyance as I read the report from the investigator that was checking on the office on Corellia.
He found no evidence of anyone feeding information about the trades to anyone outside the company...he sure took his time to come up with this, but considering I paid him by the job, not by the hour, it wasn't to get more credits from me.
Which meant that they are getting their information from somewhere else. Did they bug the office? That was a possibility...
...Actually, now that I thought about it, it could be any ship. They all got the full list.
I tilted my head in thought a moment before I quickly typed a message and transmitted it. All ships would from now on only get the list of cargo that they can move, and only a third of that to each ship.
Time to start narrowing down the list of suspects. A couple of weeks of that combined with what ships report their cargo being snatched from under their talons should narrow things down nicely. Honestly, if I wasn't so focused on the Autumn Flower I would have thought to do this a long time ago.
Shaking my head, I climbed down from my pillar and moved to put on my carrying harness, putting the pad and my lightsaber away before I started to make my way towards the shuttle bay. I was the only one still on the ship after pretty much-ordering everyone to take a vacation two days ago.
Like normal, my chief engineer wanted to be there for the rebuilding of hydroponics, but luckily my pilot managed to change her mind. Quite quickly in fact.
Still, that left me with flying down in Shuttle-B. Honestly, I would have preferred my armor, but wearing what is effectively an assault shuttle around town might make law enforcement a bit nervous and I don't want to bother them this time.
...It's also somewhat easier to avoid squishing any of the locals if I'm not wearing it. I'm big enough as it is without it.
XXXXXXXXXX
I tilted my head as I inspected the puzzle in my hand. In retrospect buying, it might not have been the best use of money, but I honestly could not resist it what was something very recognizable from Earth.
One of the first couple of things that was completely recognizable.
But trying to actually use it turned out to be a bit tricky in this body. I finally stuck my tongue out to lick the popsicle as I looked out over the edge of the platform in Crevasse City.
An entire city built into the walls of a large canyon. While I did visit Terrarium City, this place was more comfortable. It very much matched morrigi cities in that it was very vertical.
The fact that it was said to have the best hotels on the planet also helped a bit in my decision. I even found a great one with dust baths.
I gave the treat of frozen fruit juice another lick before giving it an annoyed look as it started to leak on my hand.
Raising my head feathers in amusement I simply popped the entire popsicle into my beak instead, stick and all.
Shifting the icy treat around a bit as the spot got a bit too cold and glanced around in thought. Five days of vacation down...over a week to go.
I was bored. That was actually kind of odd. For somebody who spent weeks if not months with barely leaving the ship, I got bored after less than a week on world.
Shaking my head, I picked the now empty stick from my beak and handed it to my servant drone for disposal before pulling out on pad to scan through what I could possibly do to pass the time.
Maybe I should try to catch some kind of shows? I'm not exactly an expert in the high-class culture here, most of my entertainment of that kind has been games and holomovies.
Switching to that section, I started to look through exactly what my options were.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
I sighed and relaxed on the large pillow on the small balcony overlooking the scene while struggling to keep my eyes open.
I have no idea how, but somehow they managed to make a theater representation of the classic tale of Jedi versus the evil Sith to save the galaxy.
Sighing softly I ate another fruit from the tray in front of me while watching a supposed Jedi and Sith fight it out on stage. I'm sure their acrobatics looked impressive for anyone that had not seen the real deal. I can't believe this show was as highly rated as it was.
I ruffled my feathers and then sighed once more. Perhaps I should have simply stayed on the ship. I could have tinkered with my drones, played some games, gone on a flight in my armor. It just seemed kind of a waste at the time not to see Alderaan.
Looking through the selection of fruits I then ate a small red one while tilting my head I thought. Wonder if Ni'Korish would enjoy this kind of thing?
