Tarak had understood fully what coming here meant, their money was going to be spent, he sighed realizing Iris was probably going to be trying to convince Samuel for her candy allowance. He sighed as he has his mic muted on his rig. There is one thing that upsets him out of all of this, he had zero clue on how many people they will be meeting with, and also who are they meeting with. Tarak didn't know this station, nor the sectors nearby, so he is clueless about what is out in this area, maybe they could bump into one of his many old 'colleagues'. Maybe a few would be nice, but he can name a hundred that would take his head if they had even an inkling that it would get them a few credits. So he hopes this sector is safe enough for everyone here.

Lo and behold this sector being nowhere near where he had been making it a pretty safe area, well in comparison to Galirus and the conjoined sectors.

When the ragtag group reached the food shuttle, it seemed as if Flame and Ashton had a near fight over going with the food shuttle or not. Finbarr also seemed to have been hungry for the past hour or two, so a small break should be in order, and besides everyone here needs to eat, they hadn't gotten food a little bit. Yet as Flame did bring up a good point, of them not having time, and even Avelyne made a few good points to their venture here would be a waste and the exercise was good. It was immediately defanged, in Tarak's mind, when Ashton brought up the shuttle would take them to their destination for a 'small fee'.

And even before anyone could even say another word or look towards him, Tarak had already entered the food shuttle and took off his helmet to give a quick light and courteous bow to the woman and greeted her. Tarak knew customary and long greetings are treated strangely in shops of large Bazars, so he greeted the main server in her native tongue with a [color=gold]"Hello, I hope you are well."[/color]  He paid for the fare of transportation, he wasn't afraid to be out of 100 credits. 100 credits wouldn't even get his armor a new paint job, and he doesn't even plan on eating much here. Once he finished that he talked to the server for a bit about how her day had been, some parts good, others bad, yet all well.

Once Tarak finished his little greeting with the main server, he took an immediate look around the shop, inspecting the area and the contents, looking for anything strange and maybe even slightly dangerous. Nothing strange on the racks, or dangerous from what he was aware of. A beggar, Tarak looked at him and tossed him some credits, another 100, and a quick nod to tell him to keep quiet. Then Tarak's eyes landed on an off duty officer with his family, Tarak clicked his tongue as he saw the family. There were a few other patrons who are not even of note as many of them have a little look to them, or are gorging themselves. He sighed, realizing that he was getting into habits: check waiter, inspect for people you might know, find the most worn in the room, buy them a drink, and give them a chat. It was his old way of getting the info he needs and what he wanted, so he just tilted his head and readjusted himself to knock those habits off, and get back to the task at hand.

After his quick one over, he saw his friends step in and group up quickly. Tarak took this as a sign to regroup with them, as they began setting a game plan. Many of them were probably going to be digging in fast as they could, so Tarak would wait with Flame. Flame was right, they should at least stay slightly vigilant, not out of fear of what's chasing them, but what is here, after all, they could be running into any unsavory types who would look at them as an easy tag.

Ashton started to create a game plan of food grab and nutritional balance, Tarak zoned out of that whole conversation as Flame began to talk to him about scanning the foods for protentional allergies some of them might have or for any bad foodborne pathogens. Tarak helped with the venture, no matter how stupid he thought it was. Tarak did it anyways, it made Flame feel better so it didn't matter. Flame did bring up a good point though, as the contact should be informed of their method of transportation. 

Tarak began to boot up his encryption codes and scramble his message before he sent the message to their contact, informing her of their form of transportation and an eta of their arrival. He chuckled slightly as she typed back and asked for Bubble Tea and Het'ya. He typed back to her that he can get her that, and if she would like anything else. The encryptions have been updated from his days as an Incubus Mercenary, better tech that was made by the scientist in the Zeta Prime Black Site. It was slightly dated yet still worked as well most of the encryptions that are still found today.

Tarak had leaned back as he continued to check people's foods, and making sure that they are not allergic. Most people here he knew their allergies and otherwise likes and dislikes, a few he hadn't gotten to that level of trust with yet, but his knowledge is getting better.

When Avelyne spoke up amongst the group again, she asked if the contact responded, and Tarak responded with a chuckle, [color=gold]"Yeah, she wants some Bubble Tea and a brick or two of Het'ya"[/color]. He did a one over on what Avelyne had taken up to eat and perfectly knew what she was going to grab, meat, meat, and more meat. Tarak is not too different as he is a man who loves meat, yet he'll stay his hand for the time, after all the twins are gonna be a handful soon. 

Tarak just sets his helmet on the ground and gently leans back as he sets his arm across the backrest and starts to look on at his friends and starts talking to them, [color=gold]"Alrighty, so let's not spent too much here. After all, we don't know when we'll get money to buy candies and stuff again. Right, you two?"[/color]. As Tarak looks down to both Samuel and Iris who probably bought exorbitant amounts of candy, all because Samuel can never truly say no to his sister.
